Gege Akutami has known Jujutsu Kaisen\u2019s final chapter for years CrunchyrollJujutsu Kaisen will be wrapping up soon enough, and while we\u2019re all wondering how the story ends, creator Gege Akutami has had it all worked out for years. The Jujutsu Kaisen ending is due sometime in the near future. We don\u2019t know when, exactly, but it\u2019s been confirmed that the epic manga is in the endgame, and has been for some time. Amid all the speculation and discussion over what might happen to the strongest sorcerers in their battle against Sukuna, an old interview from Gege has unearthed a curious titbit \u2013 the last chapter was locked when he started the story. \u201cI\u2019ve already decided on the final chapter\u2019s content as well as several things that will happen along the way,\u201d he said in the postscript for Jujutsu Kaisen 0, released in 2021. \u201cHowever, I still don\u2019t know how the dots will connect. I hope everything will turn out okay. But will I be able to finish it?\u201d First of all, yes, we think it\u2019s safe to say we\u2019ll see Jujutsu Kaisen end just as Gege always envisioned it. The rest of his statement is fascinating, and happens more than you might think. Creators frequently know where they want their story to land relatively early on, at least in the form of a broad outline. George RR Martin, creator of Game of Thrones, knew who he wanted on the Iron Throne by series end, working his books around that pillar. Some take a more freeform approach; Stephen King famously just starts writing, feeling out the concept and characters as he goes. While he might be one of the great icons of modern literature, many who read his work would agree conclusions aren\u2019t his strong suit. All of which is to say Gege is using tried and tested methods for sticking the landing. The runaway popularity of Jujutsu Kaisen means he has a larger audience than perhaps anticipated, but knows where he\u2019s going. The real question is who will be left standing. Many have died in the manga so far, and it\u2019d be foolhardy to think we\u2019re out of the woods just yet.
