“Jujutsu Kaisen,” a shonen series that has skyrocketed in popularity since its anime adaptation, is currently experiencing peak success while simultaneously approaching its narrative climax.
Fans were aware that the series was nearing its end, especially as the Shinjuku Showdown arc commenced, signaling that the manga’s conclusion was imminent. The involvement of all major characters and the prominent roles taken by the primary villains further indicated that the story was wrapping up.
The editor of “Jujutsu Kaisen,” Junya Fukuda, recently claimed in an issue of Weekly Shonen Jump magazine that the Shinjuku Showdown arc is at its climax. This statement was shared by a reliable source on X (formerly Twitter), though the user @Go_Jover advised fans to take Fukuda’s words with caution.
Jujutsu Kaisen’s Epic Conclusion Looms as Shinjuku Showdown Arc Reaches Its Peak
Previously, the editor had suggested that the fight between Gojo Satoru and Ryomen Sukuna was nearing its climax, but the battle extended for another 8-10 chapters, indicating that the series’ pacing can be unpredictable.
Despite indications of an approaching end, “Jujutsu Kaisen” is still ongoing, and no official conclusion date has been announced. Gege Akutami, the creator, had previously confirmed during the Jump Festa 2023 stage that the story would wrap up soon. However, as of mid-2024, the manga has yet to conclude, leaving fans in suspense about the final chapters.
Take the editors words with a grain of salt. The last time this editor claimed that Gojo vs Sukuna fight was nearing climax, the battle went on for another 8-10 chaps. But i don't know how many more chaps will this arc go on for

In January 2024, during a tour of the Jump editorial department by hosts of a One Piece-themed variety show, Junya Fukuda revealed more about the series’ conclusion. According to Fukuda, Akutami had already determined the ending of “Jujutsu Kaisen” and had explained the entire plot to him during a meeting.
Fukuda shared this insight with the show’s hosts, noting that Akutami had a clear plan for the manga’s finale. This revelation aligns with what Akutami previously mentioned in the “Jujutsu Kaisen” fanbook, where he stated that he had the ending planned and only needed to figure out the path to reach it.
Fukuda expressed his enjoyment in getting “spoiled” on the plot and his anticipation to see how Akutami would execute the story’s conclusion. His comments reassured fans that Akutami has a well-thought-out plan for the series’ ending, even if the exact timing of the final chapter remains uncertain.
