15:30 In my opinion, "pass away when surrounded by friends" is Yuji's ideal, not JJK's main plot. The main plot is to end the unbreakable curse of King of Curses (Sukuna's fingers), in other words, to end Sukuna for goods, and that's where the question "Should Yuji be executed?" comes from. In the end, Yuji not only kills Sukuna, but he also convinces him to go to *North* . Thus, ending the cycled battles of curse (Kaisen of Jujutsu). One interesting thing is that Mahito cannot move on because he IS the curse. He cannot let go of hatred toward human because it is literally part of him. Meanwhile Sukuna is human with curse, so he has choices. This is also why Yuji chose to show kindness to Sukuna yet promise to keep hunting Mahito if he comes back.
@@parvizakbari8173 but every soul can reincarnate bro, do you even know how to read? ofc in his next life he wont remember anything but every soul that wants to follow a new style of life can choose to reincarnate is just that mahito and gojo chose not to
Considering they weren't in shibuya and then spent little to zero time building on that connection before the end. You can see why but it doesnt change it from being really sad
It's alright. It just felt really anticlimactic. The only thing it actually achieved was add to Yuji's narrative but it still feels like something is missing. The series should've ended with Gojo and Sukuna killing each other or main co. finishing Sukuna off immediately. it got dragged out too long imo
Despite a lot of questions unanswered, I think the ending is pretty good. It also reflects Yuji's conclusion in chap. 265. "Even if only small fragments of memories are drifting around. A person's life still holds value beyond the memories that create their identity. It isn't about how you die. People aren't tools, so we aren't born with predetermined roles." even if Gojo is dead, he will be remembered by many, especially Yuji who takes on his role to look after new Sorcerers.
When talking about the artstyle. I can kinda see where the people are coming from but you can't truly complain that much about it. I'm an artist and mangaka and I know how hard it is to complete even a single page of manga. I really respect this guy, his backgrounds are phenominal, and the art is serious and really cool when it needs to be (of course if its boring filler your not going to put as much effort into it as the more exiting parts, take it from me lol).
There are like entire months of chapters back to back where it might just be some of the coolest compositions or just pieces of art that I would want to have hanging around my apartment. JJK's biggest hindrance is becoming my hyperfixation more than anything
It’s hilarious to me that people say “the fall off was insane”…bro, there was never any peak to fall from. It was boring af/mid in the beginning, got okay/goodish for HI/Shibuya, Culling games was meh, and Shinjuku showdown was ass and insanely drawn out. I think the ending was as good as you could get with the bad writing, little to no character interaction, non stop fights with barely any world building, and nearly zero plot that JJK had. It was never peak people just got swept up in the craze cuz it had decent fights and hot characters. Not to mention, it’s a battle Shonen and literally ANY battle Shonen becomes super popular cuz that’s all that most of the mainstream (and even a large part of the non mainstream) watch. Most people don’t know peak writing, peak characters, and peak in general because there is pretty much not a single battle Shonen that is actually peak.
I agree it's not peak, but to me it never was bad. It always was my favorite manga when I started with it, and it's still my favorite now that it has ended. Peak or not, but I think you are just hating. It's ok to not like it, but why did you even read it then?
It was quite the journey, but now we are the ones finally free from the week to week torture of endless coping We may not have had our way, but at least we can enjoy whatever we did end up getting, together
In my opinion it's not bad at all. I think theres a lot of "monkey see monkey do" and people mostly call it bad because other people say its bad. When you look closely at the chapter, and appreciate all the details. You see Yuji is carrying on Gojo's legacy by repeating what Gojo told him to the new guy (which might be better than "somehow Gojo returned"). Also the whole heat on Sukuna is a bunch of crap. In Sukuna's mind, winner is right, loser is wrong, and that's how he lived his life. He is selfish, and Yuji is selfless (even from chapter 1). When Sukuna is beaten, Yuji has proven to him the power of having those around you to help. And it's not all about selfishness or revenge. He chose a different path because of this reason, he lost, might as well try again as something different, and see things from a different point of view. (He's still probably going to be and always stay a villain but yk yk) The finger at the very end could have a punch of meanings also. Whether starting up a new part or sequel of jjk, or something else. But its what caused the mess and now its the end of it. Closure. I know there are a bunch of let down arks that could have been done better or could be ended better. But this is what we got, whether Gege wanted it to happen like this or he was rushed. It's his project, and the fan hate is way to much (can't really call yourself a fan if you hate the person who created it lol).
Literally saw a video that was putting his name in a death note. It’s why I spent so much time at the end dedicated not on just the chapter but what this story means to me and how it’s affects me. To show hey I have my issues but I’d shout Gege a bear if he ever was next to me at a bar
@@bingus4901 Yeah criticism is a very useful thing in the art community. It shows what you need to work and grow on, but as I said, HATING is whats wrong. Their taking that criticism out of a respectable environment and turning it into rants about how THEY want HIS story to go. Theres always room to improve. Theres always room to be a better person.
@@Ch0ccyM1lk2 I mean it's not like Gege is gonna listen to criticism from the internet. Most of this discourse is for other fans. I think the criticism is more for unpacking thoughts on the faults of this product. Kind of like reviewing sites for movies or a book club. Also most of the most intense hate is hyperbole for comedic effect.
@@bingus4901 I totally agree! But it's important to celebrate what you get rather than bash the writer/artist (coming from one myself). I've delt with criticism as a writer and have had many instances where I could improve. It's important to keep the criticism respectable and not feed off of and start a reaction of hate.
the only good thing in the ending was sukuna's change of heart,and realisation of his mistake,from what he said,he has been working hard on the ending , the ending is not satisfying heck,not even complete. now only a sequel can save jjk
I'm happy with this ending. I know there are valid criticisms, but seeing so many "fans" main criticisms be "wahh no Gojo funeral" and "but what was Yuji's domain called" as if these were somehow important plotpoints pisses me off
@@alexandersplace2351 u really think it is criticised because of yuji's domain and gojo's funeral alone??gojo's funeral would've been a great idea to at least say farewell to one of the most popular characters in anime,but its not the sole reason,there are many plot points left incomplete,and many backstories and lore unexplained,like who was the person with takaba,what happened to gojo's body,what happened to sukuna,what happened to culling games,what about the whole kenjaku's plan plotline,what about kenjaku going to usa,curse energy optimization plot line,sukuna's backstory,etc etc,also there are many plot holes,and asspulls at the last,like why did kugisaki appear suddenly when yuji and megumi fought together,the same thing she would've done in gojo's fight,they probably would've won,and megumi suddenly realising power offrienship,also todo asspull.honestly,the time and chapters gege wasted on useless shit like simple domain,could be easily utilised to give some more lore /backstories
@@KratosMessi-g6b I'm aware that there are other criticisms, it's just that specific subset of people criticizing. Personally, I'm fine without the answers to most of those questions. Some you can fill in the blanks (idk, the probably cremated Gojo or smthn, maybe that person with Takaba just happens to have a similar haircut to Kenjaku). Some, like Sukuna's backstory, I feel aren't supposed to have an answer. The America plotline does actually feel like something Gege forgot about, but it never felt like it was setting itself up to be super important anyway. Cursed energy optimization existed as part of Geto's motivation (in combination with Toji trauma). There's no way every single person is going to become a sorcerer. I agree that chapter 269 was by a fair margin the worst chapter of the series. I didn't hate it, but it didn't feel worthy of taking up one of the final five. TLDR: Yes, there are other valid criticisms, some of which I agree with but the fact that SOME people treat the two I mentioned as if they're important is a reminder that many people aren't criticising in good faith.
@@alexandersplace2351 the problem is with the hype,imagine a mangaka shipping to opposite sex characters throughout the manga,and in the end,nothing happens between them,something similar happened in mha,and that is the sole reason shonens like naruto,play it well and secure a descent ending despite the criticism. the hype of yuji's domain was crazy,and there were literally thories made on just the name of yuji's domain,the ending just did not live up to the hype,gojo's death was tragic to not only manga readers but to anime community as well,and he was hyped asf in both manga and anime,so its not bad to show something related to him,it does not cater the feeling.many shonens did it better,which catered the readers emotional feelings,when a character dies by having some sort of cremeation. also the cursed energy optimisation plan i was talking about was not geto ,i was talking about kenjaku when he was talking with yuki,that plotline was disregarded as well,also the takaba panels make no sense,it would make more sense if gege actually announces a sequal which is badly needed for jjk rn,(so much to explain,so much to explore,he can indeed make a manga out of it(copium)) that said, its ending is a solid 5/10 for me,the manga itself was pretty good,though things became a bit fast paced,and shallow,as the manga approached the end,the anime as a whole is 7-8/10
I think the ending is a nod to the audience from Yuji contextually performing a transcendental Left, right, good night. The sparks of black favor the author.

finally someone who understood itadori
Yuji is mortal. Sukuna isn’t… Sukuna and mahito can just wait for him to die😂 what a lame ending

What sucks is that even at the end the main trio isn’t even on a first name basis 😔
Considering they weren't in shibuya and then spent little to zero time building on that connection before the end. You can see why but it doesnt change it from being really sad
@@DareToEntertain megumi and yuuji tho did get a lot of building in their relationship
i thought the final chapter and ending in general was just alright, far from the best of the series but not terrible
Not everything can be FMAB, Code or AoT. But just thankfully its not a disaster as I thought it was on thursday night
It's alright. It just felt really anticlimactic. The only thing it actually achieved was add to Yuji's narrative but it still feels like something is missing.

Perfectly said
its neither it has really strong points but it left a few things without answer so its just a mid ending
I dont think anyone in the jujutsu world got a funeral, not even itadori when he died. Everyone just ends up in the morgue with shoko.
The lack of "where Nanami/Choso/Yuki" funeral is pretty telling
Might be a hot take, but I don’t think gojo wanted to come back.
yeah i dont think so either. But did Higuruma? I think Gege is using Sukuna has the way to complete Gojo's arc as the other half of the same coin
It mid or alright at best I don’t want to blame gege cause it weekly.
It's why Im excited for the anime that has a lot more time to make changes to adjustments to stuff that might have pacing issues

That Gojo and Sukuna domain clash is one of the best panels ever
There are like entire months of chapters back to back where it might just be some of the coolest compositions or just pieces of art that I would want to have hanging around my apartment. JJK's biggest hindrance is becoming my hyperfixation more than anything

Yes or No... Is Part 2 still gonna happen?
Surely, I have hopes he intends on revisiting this world, but perhaps much farther into the future than we would like
No..
i think he left it open enough to hop back into it if he ever wants to, but i feel like it's not what he's currently working on or thinking about
Yeah thats what I think too Redlink
We still have the Anime until we are in our 30s.
In my opinion it's not bad at all. I think theres a lot of "monkey see monkey do" and people mostly call it bad because other people say its bad.
