JJK Manga Ending

Do y'all think Gege will really end the JJK manga in 2024 or do you think he needs more time? And how do you see this manga ending?

I definitely see it ending in 2024. I think it'll hit about 30 volumes, maybe a bit more, but I don't quite see how it will end. I do see kenjaku coming back and maybe taking over sukuna's body when he dies, or something like that.

Ever since I read chapter 1 I've thought the ending will be Itadori dying surrounded by friends like he promised his grandfather. Surrounded by those living and dead or just dead I'm not sure but that's still how I think this will end

I think he'll end it in 2024 for sure. And I say that also because he doesn't even seem super into it anymore, his writing has been pretty shit honestly. It just seems like he wants to finish it off and be done with it.

I think he thinks it'll end this year. he releases 2/3 weeks though which means only 30-40 chapters left. Considering the length of the Gojo vs Sukuna fight and since I think he still has something planned with Kenny (or at least his plan) beyond just Uraume and Sukuna, I think it'll end 2025. Also since I think there's a lot of character arcs (and just characters who seem to need to do stuff before it ends) and politics that need to be wrapped up still

feel like in general Magakas always underestimate the amount of chapters they'll actually need to finish their story once they've thought up the plan. I can relate just from my high school creative writing classes where I'd think of an awesome story only to not write most of it since I added as I wrote and could not fit everything unless I had a whole light novel

I see it ending in 2024 but I wouldn’t be shocked if it ended in early 2025 either

JJK is the perfect shounen for villains to have a happy ending

I thought that would be a possibility too, I do lean towards a more bittersweet or a darker end to the series given what happened to the characters and in the story so far. But I do see Yuji making a sacrifice for the sake of everyone

bossunhimeswitch said:



Me too tbh. I've been thinking for a while now that surrounded by friends might mean some alive and others death all present when Itadori dies, likely through some kind of sacrifice.

However, I think there's also another bittersweet possibility. Things come to pass that lead to Itadori living a long life and dying alone much like his grandfather, however, when Itadori's soul crosses, he reunites with all of his friends and so he still fulfills his promise to his grandfather in a sense. This is maybe less likely because Itadori tends to make friends easily for the most part. Though I could see some variation on this theme

Unfortunately, it's really felt like Gege has been rushing to end it recently. I think the manga probably needs more chapters than this year can give it to wrap up satisfactorily but I wouldn't be that surprised if it ended in just a few months considering the rush.

J42148 said:

I do get the vibe that Gege wants to end this sooner rather than later, and I wish this series would go in for a little longer. I’m assuming nobara is dead, but if he wants to bring her back somehow, I don’t even know how big of an impact she’ll have this late in the story (if she’s even brought back at all)

jeanbeanart said:

in terms of Nobara, i keep thinking about how we still don't know where the last sukuna finger is. not that he needs it at all anymore, it's not even on his radar now that he has his body lmao. but i could feasibly see something like Nobara using straw doll on it at the peak of the battle. but also that might be wishful thinking (miss u nobara)

jeanbeanart said:
i feel like gege just wants it over and so it will be ending in 2024 lmao.

with where the manga is right now (especially the newest chapters) we've kinda gone past the point of no return in terms of insanity/power moves/deus ex machina. it leaves a l o t of room for the ending to go really really wild and great or really really bad lmao. there's so many loose ends to tie and abandoned characters through the battle. i just hope ge he's burnout doesn't affect his original intentions for the story. there's so many good plots and characters and overall story and themes and it would be truly heartbreaking to get anything less than half baked. i think for gege's sake it has to end in 2024 hahah, but i hope it doesn't get rushed too much because of it. jjk really deserves the attention it's built to and an ending that's representative of all the incredible cast and themes.

It's definitely ending in a few chapters. He doesn't have many more characters left to kill. This manga had so much potential bruh.

J42148 said:

I get that vibe too lol. Key fights and events are turning up and I just hope potential character moments, story developments, and fights don’t get rushed. If Gege thinks he can end this right in his own terms, more power to em, I don’t want him to push himself too hard. But I would like to see a Heian era flashback during the current fight in the manga. And I think it would be cool to see a flashback of the previous heads of the Gojo and Zenin clans; in particular, the ones with the ten shadows technique and the other one with the Six eyes and limitless.

jeanbeanart said:

a flash back of the previous six eye vs ten shadows user would be crazyyyyyyyy. yes. i wish we could've seen more prep for the sukuna battle. it seems like there's been things coming up that's like "oh yeah i learned how to do that when we prepped for sukuna (off screen lmao)" i would also kinda love to see something about the big 3 vengeful spirits coming into play... it was mentioned so briefly in jjk0 that idk if they'll ever bring it up again, but that feels like it could be such a cool point to play into the overall dynamics going on now.

J42148 said:

For real, reading it, it was like okay Gojo is now released from the prison and wait there’s more, he’s fighting Sukuna and so many things are happening prior the Sukuna fight. I would also love for the three vengeful spirits to come into play before the manga ends. If he wants to end this later this year, idk if it’s gonna be too much to stuff in all at once. I wonder how Gege is gonna balance potential these things along with the current battle with Sukuna; not to mention what Yuta did to Kenjaku (Kenjaku is always plotting and I’m scared for Yuta lol)
