While story arcs vary in length, there have been some arcs that went on for awhile in Jujutsu Kaisen.
Since 2018, Jujutsu Kaisen has becomeone of the most popular and successful shōnen manga series of all time, not to mention that this is also the magnum opus of its author, Gege Akutami. With over six years of serialization and over 260 chapters in total, this became quite an extensive story.
But what is particularly interesting about Jujutsu Kaisen – especially when it’s compared to its contemporaries – is that its arcs are not as extensive as readers may have initially thought, with the only exception being 2 big & important arcs that forever changed the course of this fascinating plot. But one question remains: what are the longest arcs in all of Jujutsu Kaisen? 6 Gojo’s Past Arc / Perfect Preparation Arc
These are two equally important arcs that are both made up of 15 chapters each. On one hand, there’s Gojo’s Past Arc, a crucial plot line in understanding two of the most important characters in Jujutsu Kaisen: The great Satoru Gojo and the tragic falling out he had with Suguru Geto, who would later become one of the biggest antagonists of the series. In 15 chapters, readers can thoroughly learn everything about their complicated relationship.
On the other hand, there’s the Perfect Preparation Arc which, despite its surprising length, is more focused on building up everything towards the arc that comes immediately after it. But despite this, a lot happens to the remaining characters after the hard-hitting events of the Shibuya Incident, like Master Tengen’s introduction, the final battle between Yaga and Gakuganji and Maki’s revenge against the entire Zen’in clan. So it’s understandable why this arc would end up being one of the longest in the manga. 5 Fearsome Womb Arc
It’s not really common for the very first arc of a shōnen manga to be one of the longest ones, but unique decisions like this one are what sets Jujutsu Kaisen apart from other similar works. The Fearsome Womb Arc has one main objective: to slowly build up the fascinating world of sorcery and cursed spirits, from the moment Yuji Itadori eats Sukuna’s finger, and up to the initial encounter with the Kyoto students.
