Jujutsu Kaisen has recently wrapped up its historic Manga run! Fans around the world are now dissecting this wildly popular series.
A Controversial Ending:
The conclusion has a lot of people debating whether it wrapped up too fast or if the story's arc was just right. However, for anyone who may have thought the main character, Yuji, would be at the forefront of it all, this last chapter gave viewers a surprising new element to look into, revealing how the villain Sukuna actually was the character to grow the most.
In this series Sukuna was never just an ordinary evil villain, the story really showed a unique combination that gives you an awesome sense of a villain that might have an unusual sense of morality. This all came to light in Chapter #271, a chapter that gave more to Sukuna's final moment.
The Evolution Of Sukuna
Fans have known from the very beginning Sukuna, a super powerful being known as the King of Curses, he was an incredibly dangerous and fierce character! He's also the villain with a fascinating moral philosophy! This made audiences pay a great deal of attention. There was even an awareness in him, as his ability to show empathy to certain characters that wasn't at all expected, especially as he was known as an all powerful character.
We see a big change when you compare how Sukuna was, versus the last parts of the series. The King of Curses had an immense hatred for humans! However, he had some moments of insight. What happened is a shift! We see how Sukuna evolves, changing from a merciless monster to a character that's willing to examine how life works and maybe change his ways.
Sukuna and Yuji's Dynamic- A Clash Of Ideas
What's cool is that this wasn't just an unlikely pairing! In Jujutsu Kaisen we get an inside look into the clash between these two powerhouses! It shows us the core principles of Jujutsu Kaisen.
- This clash was an exciting part of this storyline
- And fans loved it.
Sukuna had no time for Yuji.
- He called Yuji "brat"
- In many cases, he only addressed Yuji with that term of disrespect.
Yuji, for his part, gave Sukuna the time to listen.
- Even more important, Yuji was truly interested in why Sukuna was this way.
- It also meant that there was some effort to try and change his heart
It's the way Yuji and Sukuna had this constant dynamic of being against each other.
Sukuna could not ever understand human emotion! That is why we get Yuji, someone who always wanted the best in everyone and even a monster! He was an anchor that tried to change the heart of a soul. Even with a big villain you still need some compelling backstories, and how those villains ended. "Jujutsu Kaisen" made a bold move to make sure those points were covered.
An Evolution That Brings New Layers to Sukuna
At the very end of this manga run! We get an interesting contrast from Sukuna's final scene. His soul moves to the next world but his destination wasn't like many others that have been shown to date.
- Jogo
- Hanami
- Dagon
His end, was not at all expected as we learn his destiny takes him to the "cycle of reincarnation."
It even seems that a special monster that truly hates all things human Mahito, was ready to be in front of Sukuna. But that wasn't his choice! In a unique moment, Sukuna chooses another path, and ends his life, as a human.
If that wasn't a bold twist. It also has fans thinking this means Sukuna is ready for change, moving beyond death. And while the "Jujutsu Kaisen" story came to an end! The Ending has those who were following along wanting so much more.
Even though this arc took place in a span of six years and this world of "Jujutsu Kaisen" is incredibly interesting, Gege Akutami really delivered an emotional climax, and some of the biggest, and sometimes, unexpected moments, in a genre that is so widely beloved!
You could really feel what Akutami had created.
- You can feel a powerful impact of how stories resonate with millions!
You can also see this story as one where you've seen a transformation of one's self and their understanding about a complicated and fascinating world. You get the sense that Jujutsu Kaisen has given fans more than just an amazing, cool story, but one that truly inspires and provokes thought, something we need so much in these complex times!
