Gege Akutami always manages to surprise everyone. The mangaka has no brakes and continues to propose his own very dark version of the Shonen fight in Jujutsu Kaisen. In fact, inspired by Hunter x Hunter and other big names in the industry, Akutami creates its own product steeped in sadness, darkness and difficult combat in a cursed world.

And this curse that affects Yuji Itadori is even stronger and more urgent after the violent twist of Jujutsu Kaisen 212, capable of completely destroying what was previously planned, in a common thread that connects the protagonist to Sukuna and Megumi become. But everything was already planned?

In 2021, Gege Akutami answered an interview by Mando Kobayashi, a show aired on Fuji TV, in celebration of a special award received for the manga that year. The author talked about how he intended to finish Jujutsu Kaisen in a couple of years - so theoretically this year 2023 - but he also talked about that Fate of Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro and Ryomen Sukunathree closely related characters, especially after what happened recently.

As for Yuji and Megumi, Akutami had already said that he had their end in mind. However, the same is not true of the curse: Sukuna and her destiny were still incorporealnot concrete. It is therefore not known exactly whether this plot twist had been prepared for a long time or not, even though the author may have already prepared such a plot twist given the trio's close relationship. All that remains now is to watch the development of Jujutsu Kaisen after this massive twist that shook the very foundations of the story.
