Jujutsu Kaisen, a well-written and well-liked anime, was once fans’ favorite manga until its ending. The manga by Gege Akutami ended several days ago and received backlash for a disappointing last chapter. According to fans, Gege not rushing the end of Jujutsu Kaisen manga could have prevented this situaton.
Many, many questions were left unanswered and many many characters of Jujutsu Kaisen could have stayed dead. For example, Nobara, unexpectedly but successfully proved herself to be useless in the end. She first appears after the Shibuya Arc when the final battle hits the rocks. Her being alive or dead didn’t really make a difference since half of the fans only wanted to see Gojou back again. Also, Yuji who could have had Nobara as his potential ‘sidekick’ in Sukuna’s fight ended up becoming a sidekick himself. He put an end to the ultimate battle of Sukuna vs every relevant, irrevelant sorcerer ever in which he wasn’t the one to be most involved. However, after a long, long battle, the three friends unite and read the letters left by their sensei, Gojou. Then they depart together in search of a new journey.
Yet more questions arise after Gojou’s confirmed death, what will happen between the biggest clans? Will they fight? What will their battle unfold? What will be the consequences that everybody has to face? As fans seek answers to these few questions, meanwhile Gojou fans are busy making their own ending of Jujutsu Kaisen.

The Initial Problems With Jujutsu Kaisen Ending
Itadori Yuji who’s the main protagonist didn’t almost lead the manga at all. The same happened to anime adaptation when larger fan bases of Gojou, Nanami, and even Sukuna were created because they had better character development than him. These fandoms were even bigger than Yuji’s by much margin. But a lot of fans didn’t pay attention to this because Yuji initially lacked a lot as being the main lead of a shounen anime. It wasn’t as if he was incapable but as stated before, he didn’t get the character development fans expected to see.
Another thing is that each and every fan-favorite character from JJK was either disposed of or not left unharmed. The series, which produced iconic antagonists and anti-protagonists such as Getou, Toji, and Sukuna, also seemingly gained popularity due to the quality production of cool villains. However, moving on from their death wasn’t so hard until characters from the main cast started disappearing. The top favorite characters except for Yuji have either died or become forgotten and forever lost in the manga. The list goes on including characters such as Junpei, and Todou, who was a powerful sorcerer but lost an arm during Sukuna’s outburst in the Shibuya arc.
Even after all this author could’ve done at least one thing to keep fans’ minds stuck to the ending or had not rushed the ending like this. Although every fan has something different to say some might have liked or enjoyed the ending a bit. But as most of us as well as the author knew putting out those last few panels as Jujutsu Kaisen ending, one of the current best modern-day mangas would persuade such a huge fanbase to discriminate.
Other fandoms such as One Piece fans hope that the manga doesn’t end up like JJK.
