Additionally, Jump Press also unveiled manga creator Gege Akutami's comment on the series's conclusion.

Firstly, Gege Akutami informed fans that the series was ending in five chapters. He made sure to thank the readers for their support and cooperation as had it not been for them, he wouldn't have been able to end the story the way he wanted to.

He also expressed that he was working hard to create a final chapter that would probably satisfy as many people as possible who have supported the series. With that, the manga creator requested fans to bear with him.

What to expect from the end of Jujutsu Kaisen manga?

With Jujutsu Kaisen manga only having five more chapters left as part of its serialization, first and foremost, it is bound to focus on the conclusion of the fight between Jujutsu Sorcerers and the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna. With Yuji Itadori taking the lead for the sorcerers, the manga could see the protagonist take the upper hand soon.

This does not mean that the next five chapters will solely focus on Itadori vs. Sukuna. As fans might remember, the manga also depicted the start of the fight between Kinji Hakari and Uraume. Hence, one of the five chapters could also focus on the fight.

Following the conclusion of the fights, the manga will possibly tie up all the loose ends and reveal which characters survived at the end of the series. During this, fans could finally get a confirmation of several characters' fates, including Kugisaki Nobara. Unfortunately, fans can only hope for the series to address all questions they have in the next five chapters.
