The Jujutsu Kaisen manga concludes with memorable fates for key characters, balancing fan disappointments with satisfying resolutions.
Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen manga is, without doubt, one of the biggest shonen anime to come out in recent years. The series, lauded for its engrossing storytelling, multi-faceted likable characters, deep world-building, and violent fantasy lore, has finally come to an end after six years.
Still, while the consensus regards JJK as one of the greatest anime of the past decade, some characters got less than happy endings, falling victim to a deathly fate or obscurity that left fans disappointed – an oversight only righted by the brilliant endings other major players received. Thanks to this welcome overcompensation, the following Jujutsu Kaisen characters rode off into anime sunset with the most befitting endings.9 Yuuta Okkotsu
Manga Debut: Chapter 0-1
Anime Debute: Episode 6
Yuuta Okkotsu’s resilience and resolve in the fight against Sukuna shone brightly in his final arc. After his deadly fight against Sukuna, where his fate hung in the balance, fans expected his death but were instead teased that he would somehow survive the war.
True to speculation, in Chapter 269, Yuta returns with the help of Shoko Ieiri and Rika, who employ the Reverse Curse technique, preserving Yuuta’s body even after his brain was removed, allowing him to regain access to it. After a near-defeat, chaotic battle, Yuta emerges from a rubble of personal struggles to an impactful ending as a leading sorcerer.8 Megumi Fushiguro
Manga Debut: Chapter 1
Anime Debute: Episode 1
As a central player in the anime, Megumi Fushiguro had one of the most exciting endings, lauded for the rich character development, thematic resonance, and depth.
After Chapter 212, it was confirmed that Megumi was not dead; Sukuna was using his body. But things take a turn for good when Sukuna dies and Megumi regains control of his body. In the final chapters, Megumi is seen making good recovery, recovering his willpower, taking charge of his destiny, and becoming one of the remarkable survivors in the battle against Sukuna.7 Yuji Itadori

Yuji gives Sukuna the chance to atone for his sins and put an end to the endless cycle of curses before striking him with a blow that forces the King of Curses out of Megumi’s body.
