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.

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!

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.
