TheJujutsu Kaisenmanga ended rather abruptly. Before the final fight with Sukuna had even wrapped up, we got the announcement that the manga would be ending shortly.
Author Gege Akutami, with the little time they had, did a fairly serviceable job at wrapping up most of the loose ends of the story. However, there are still some questions we have, and for now we can only speculate.
It goes without saying, as this is all about the end of the manga, butspoilers aheadfor the entirety of Jujutsu Kaisen.
6What Happened to Uraume?
One aspect of the final bout with Sukuna that did not get much screen time was Hakari’s battle with Uraume, Sukuna’s loyal assistant. Hakari and Uraume clashed in the sky while the rest battled Sukuna on the ground, and readers kept expecting to go back to their fight.
However, every time we went back to them, they weren’t fighting; merely watching the battle from above and discussing who will win. Then, once Sukuna is defeated and exorcised, Uraume simply disintegrates along with him. Not only did we not get to see the clash between these two characters, but Uraume’s demise was both abrupt and confusing.
5What Exactly Is Fuga?
Sukuna is known for his extremely high-damaging dismantle and cleave abilities, in which he can slice-and-dice things with both cursed energy and no cursed energy. However, very early on, we also see him use an ability that is completely unrelated to either of these.
When Sukuna chants “fuga”, he is able to make an arrow of fire that was so powerful it bested Jogo, a curse literally designed after a volcano. So, what is it? We know that sorcerers typically have one cursed technique that they are born with, and knowing that Sukuna’s technique is Dismantle and Cleave, Fuga seems to be an outlier.
We don’t truly find out what Fuga is, but we can speculate it is some sort of binding vow, and can even lead to a larger discussion about whether we truly know what Dismantle and Cleave consist of. Sukuna’s technique might be something altogether different, that encompasses both the ability to wield fire and the ability to dismantle matter.
4What Was Sukuna With The Children?
During the final chapter, we get a scene of Sukuna speaking with Mahito on his way to the afterlife, and he is standing next to two young children. We only get a look at one of their faces, and we can only speculate who they are and what they represent.
Sukuna ends up walking away with one of the children; the one with short, white hair. This is also the one whose face we see. While we don’t know anything about these kids, we can assume that they possibly represent Sukuna’s potential paths in life, something he spoke about briefly earlier in the story.
Walking away with the young white-haired boy could be representative of Sukuna accepting his defeat and finally passing on to the afterlife, and potentially being a better person if reborn. This leaves only Mahito behind, refusing to truly die or be taken away from the world forever, or learn from his past.
3What Was Tiger Funeral?
Megumi’s Cursed Technique is the Ten Shadows Technique. With this technique, Megumi can summon multiple different shikigami that are part of the technique, provided he has defeated them beforehand. Throughout the story, we get a look at nine of them, except for Tiger Funeral.
Not only do we never see Tiger Funeral, so we have no idea what it looks like, but we don’t know much about it at all. The only thing we know is that it was part of the Merged-Beast Agito, a shikigami that Sukuna summoned once he possessed Megumi’s body, and it had aspects from Tiger Funeral, Nue, Great Serpent, and Round Deer.
2What Did Gojo Tell Geto At His Death?
Going all the way back to JJK 0, either being the prequel volume or the movie, we get to see the end of Gojo and Geto’s story before the Hidden Inventory arc shows the beginning. When Geto lies dying at the end of the arc, he is visited by Gojo, and they share a final conversation before Gojo finishes off his friend.
However, there is a line of dialogue that we don’t see, in which Gojo says something to Geto, and Geto laughs, wishing he would curse him in the end, at least. We expected to find out by the end of the story, but we didn’t. However, due to their relationship, and how Gojo feels about his place in the world, we can assume it was something about him being his best friend.
1Who Was With Takaba?
This is perhaps the biggest lingering question that only crops up within the last five chapters of the manga. We see Takaba, the comedian who managed to distract Kenjaku enough for Yuta to cut off his head, in a café or diner with another individual.
As they are leaving, the face of the other individual is covered by a text box, but the outline of the person is very clearly meant to resemble Kenjaku/Geto. But they are dead…so who is this? One theory is that Takaba used his powerful technique to create his perfect comedy partner, in the form of Kenjaku, as they got along during the course of their fight.
We will probably never find out who this person really is, but it is a fun Easter egg that Gege snuck in at the end of the story to leave fans theorizing and wondering.
