Even the "best ending" for Jujutsu Sorcerers in Jujutsu Kaisen won't heal a certain wound and it's not about Gojo

With the battle against Ryomen Sukuna in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga reaching its climax, the series could soon end. Hence, several fans have begun speculating the best possible outcomes for each character. Unfortunately, there is a certain old wound that might never heal, and it is not Gojo.

The manga's previous chapter saw Larue and Miguel joining the fight against Ryomen Sukuna. With Sukuna unable to use his techniques, Yuji and Maki rejoined the battle, hoping to defeat the King of Curses. Just then, the manga hinted at Sukuna possibly regaining his Reverse Cursed Technique.

Reddit user u/ASTRO_GAGZ believed that Yuji would experience a fulfilling death, Yuta would travel the world, and Megumi would finally reach his true potential. The post creator also speculated about several other characters, including Sukuna and Kenjaku. Surprisingly, many fans still believe Satoru Gojo and Nobara Kugisaki will return to the manga.

Unfortunately, that is not the case as Nanami Kento died long ago. Nanami's death was probably the most unexpected in the series because no major character had passed away until then.

Gojo's death was also shocking, but not completely out of the realm of possibilities considering the number of characters who died before him. Therefore, while most fans believed that Gojo would defeat Sukuna, some speculated that he would lose.

However, Nanami's death was tragic because he had a goal after his time at Jujutsu Tech. He wished to quit the field and go to Malaysia, where he aspired to visit the beaches and live a peaceful life. Unfortunately, he was robbed of the opportunity, leaving fans with a wound that might never heal.

Moreover, MAPPA studio made it worse for fans by depicting Nanami's aspiration in the best possible way. Hence, Nanami not getting to live his dream left fans with a heavy heart.

As for Gojo, the manga never revealed his aspirations. He had responsibilities in the Jujutsu world but was freed from them when he died. Moreover, there remains the possibility that he might still be resurrected.

Therefore, Nanami's death was much more tragic for fans. His death died during the Shibuya Incident Arc at the hands of Mahito makes his return impossible. If he had died at Jogo's hands, Shoko Ieiri could have still rescued him, but that isn't the case for Mahito's Idle Transfiguration.
