With the end of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga approaching, fans were buzzing with excitement, expecting an announcement about a potential sequel or spin-off series as it teased an “Unbelievable Project.” Many hoped for a continuation that would expand the Jujutsu Kaisen universe. However, the announcement that followed, which had been heavily hyped by publishers Shueisha and Weekly Shonen Jump, fell flat. Rather than a groundbreaking new manga or a thrilling extension of the story, the reveal was far less impactful, leaving many fans not only disappointed but also questioning the buildup that led to such an underwhelming result. Despite the grand expectations, the outcome felt lackluster, adding to the frustration of an already anxious fanbase.
Instead of a much-anticipated sequel or spin-off, Jujutsu Kaisen will be offering the first 245 chapters of the manga for free, which fans can access through the Shonen Jump+ and Zebrack apps. While this allows new readers to catch up and loyal fans to revisit the story, it falls short of the “unbelievable” promise that had been built up by both Shueisha and Weekly Shonen Jump.
In addition, there is a countdown video, which many speculate is linked to the manga’s imminent conclusion, along with special wallpaper giveaways on social media, and the reveal of the cover for Volume 27. Despite the variety of content, none of these announcements offered the groundbreaking news that many had hoped for, such as a movie adaptation, a major collaboration, or a new arc. This left many Jujutsu Kaisen fans feeling that the buildup led to an anticlimactic payoff, failing to match the hype that had been generated.
