The conclusion of Jujutsu Kaisen recently arrived, allowing fans to witness the resolution of Gege Akutami’s captivating saga involving sorcery and conflict. Given the series’ intense storyline, many anticipated that most characters would meet tragic endings. While some characters did, it’s noteworthy that the final arc didn’t claim as many casualties as expected.
Despite Sukuna’s formidable power, only a select few characters truly fell, and some were even saved in the final moments. This shift set the stage for positive resolutions for several characters, including Yuta Okkotsu, Gojo’s protégé. Yuta’s conclusion was particularly uplifting, as he found a significant romantic connection by the end of the series.
Yuta’s Survival in the Shinjuku Showdown
- Yuta faced defeat at the hands of Sukuna.
- Rika’s timely intervention ultimately saved Yuta’s life.
During the Shinjuku Showdown, Yuta confronted daunting challenges that tested his determination. He achieved significant victory against Kenjaku, but following that, he faced Sukuna, a battle that raised the stakes. While Yuta demonstrated remarkable strength and skill against Sukuna, his fortunes changed due to the unforeseen complications involving Megumi, leading to his defeat, marked by Sukuna’s brutal attack that nearly ended his life.
Fortunately for Yuta, Rika’s intervention was crucial as she played a pivotal role in preserving his life. Additionally, in a remarkable twist, Yuta utilized Gojo’s body in an attempt to confront Sukuna once more, courtesy of the body swap orchestrated by Kenjaku. He put forth an admirable effort, yet ultimately, fatigue from his cursed technique hindered his success, underscoring Rika’s essential role in his rescue.
Yuta’s Romantic Journey with Maki
Yuta and Maki’s Family in the Epilogue
Having survived the Shinjuku Showdown, Yuta found his way back to his original form after the body swap. As years passed, he emerged as the acting head of the Gojo Clan, a milestone signaling his maturity and stability. He even made arrangements for Panda, showcasing his growth as he began to streamline operations.
By the year 2080, fans were delighted to see Yuta represented as a family man, showcasing two grandchildren in the epilogue. Although their names remain unknown, fans could easily surmise their lineage—Yuta’s granddaughter bears his striking resemblance, while his grandson reflects the traits of both Maki and Megumi. This visual connection subtly confirmed that Yuta and Maki forged a life together, cementing their bond through family.
As fans eagerly await further developments, there’s a hope that Jujutsu Kaisen might produce another epilogue featuring Yuta and Maki’s life together. It would be exciting if Gege Akutami were to address their relationship directly down the line, providing fans with the confirmation they desire. In the meantime, enthusiasts can find joy in knowing that the pair embarked on a family life together.
The final chapter, JJK 271, was released on September 29, 2024. Fans can enjoy the series through Manga Plus and the Shonen Jump applications.
