Jujutsu Kaisen Confirms Sukuna’s Defeat Is Close
The Final Five Chapters Will Likely See Sukuna Being Defeated At Last
As of the latest release, which is chapter #266,Yuji’s battle against Sukunastill seemed far from finished, which is why the news of the series' ending came as such a surprise. The current battle against Sukuna has been raging for over forty chapters, over the course of which many sorcerers have tried their hand against the King of Sorcerers only to be defeated. As such, Sukuna’s defeat felt like a distant possibility for the longest time.
However, the fact thatJujutsu Kaisenwill be ending in a mere five chapters confirms that Sukuna’s defeat is indeed on the horizon, and it may in fact be Yuji who brings about Sukuna’s downfall after all.Yuji has already threatened to kill Sukunaand the looming end of the series suggests his threat was not an empty one after all. Nonetheless, there are still many loose threads left to wrap up, and it will be interesting to see how Gege Akutami handles the finale of the series.
