Key recommendations
- Many unanswered questions remain after the completion of Jujutsu Kaisen, leaving fans to speculate.
- Not all characters got the endings fans expected, such as Itadori's high school friends or all the wizards with unseen domain extensions.
- Key plot points, such as the involvement of the US military and the other members of the Gojo clan, were left unexplored.
The story of Yuji Itadori and the other Jujutsu wizards of Japan has finally reached its long-awaited conclusion, since Jujutsu Kaisen manga was recently completed in September 2024. While this ending provided satisfying conclusions for most of its main characters, it also left a lot to be desired.
The world of curses and sorcery that author Gege Akutami has created is so complex and fascinating that he unfortunately didn't get a chance to properly close every plot thread he previously opened. Jujutsu Kaisen fans still have plenty of burning questions left unanswered, and the following eight are some of the biggest yet.
8 What happened to Itadori's old friends?
The fates of Sasaki, Iguchi and Yuko
At the beginning of the Culling Game Arc, it was revealed that Yuji Itadori's high school friends, Setsuko Sasaki and Takeshi Iguchiwere left outside the barrier of the Culling Game. And that was the last time they appeared in the manga, which seems like a huge missed opportunity to explain how Kenjaku and Sukuna's actions affected the normal population of Japan.
Not to mention there was also Yuko Ozawaa former classmate of Itadori who had feelings for him and decided not to confess them when they were first reunited. Yuko was apparently introduced as a potential love interest for the main character, but was never seen or mentioned again after her first appearance.
7 What could all the unseen domain extensions actually do?
Fans wanted to see the ultimate techniques of Yuki, Hanami and many others
Domain extensions are undoubtedly the most brilliant element of Kaisen's Jujutsu power system. By the end of the series, fans finally got to witness some of the most anticipated, such as Kenjaku's Womb Profusion or Yuta Okkotsu's Authentic Mutual Love.
However, there were several powerful characters who never got the chance to show the full abilities of the confirmed domain expansions, such as the cursed Spirit Hanami or the incarnate sorcerers Ryu Ishigori and Takako Uro. But the most disappointing omission was the expansion of Yuki Tsumuko's domain, as she mentioned that she planned to unleash it against Kenjaku, but was suddenly killed before she could do so.
6 Who were the five empty generals?
Sukuna's mysterious enemies during the Heian era
At one point, Yorozu mentions how he once defeated the Five empty generals of the Fujiwara clan, which left fans with more questions than answers. Not much is known about them or their clan, but it seems that they were surprisingly powerful, and their forces consisted of three different teams: Sun, Moon, and Stars.
Fans were bracing for a potential flashback to the legendary Heian Era, where they had a chance to see the Five Hollow Generals fight head-to-head against Sukuna, but that never happened. They seemed to be very effective wizards, but aside from a brief mention of Sukuna's victory over the three teams, they were quickly forgotten by the story.
5 Why did Uraume follow Sukuna?
Sukuna's most loyal follower never got a proper flashback
Wow “Frozen Star” was one of the most powerful wizards incarnate in the Jujutsu Kaisenmostly due to their cursed ice forming technique. They were extremely devoted to Ryomen Sukuna and could be seen helping the King of Curses on numerous occasions, to the point where they were present in the afterlife alongside him in the final chapter of the manga.
But strangely, Uraume's backstory and motivations were never properly established, leaving many fans wondering why they were so loyal to such an evil being. Sukuna himself was apparently very into Uraume, which seems a bit out of character, but this would have made a lot more sense if their relationship had fleshed out with a flashback.
4 Where did Mahoraga come from?
The Mystery of Fushiguro's Strongest Shikigami
Megumi Fushiguro was able to summon several powerful shikigami with the Ten Shadow Technique, but none of them could even hold a candle. Eight-handled sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga. This creature was so incredibly powerful that Sukuna planned to possess Fushiguro's body just so he could tame it and use it in battle.
It was originally established that Mahoraga had existed in the Ten Shadow Technique for many years, and that none of its previous users had ever been able to tame it. So where exactly did it come from? How was it created? Why is it so powerful? Satoru Gojo finally destroyed Mahoraga with Hollow Purple before any of these questions could be answered.
3 What happened to the US military?
Kenjaku betrayed an entire country
One of Kenjaku's most guarded schemes involved negotiations with members United States Government. He convinced him to send his military forces to Japan and kidnap the wizards participating in the Culling Game. In reality, Kenjaku needed to massacre his cursed spirits in order to create enough cursed energy for his fusion with Tengen.
Kenjaku's meeting with the American authorities gave readers a glimpse of what other countries thought of Japan's Jujutsu society and how they were eager to use the cursed energy as a potential power source. However, the American soldiers were not seen or mentioned again after the conclusion of the Culling Game Arc, so it is not entirely clear if any of them survived the attack or if their government ever planned to respond to Kenjaku's betrayal.
2 What happened to the bodies of Geto and Gojo?
Two close friends who shared the same tragic fate
both Suguru Geto and Satoru Gojo met a similar fate as they both had their own bodies hijacked by someone else. Geto's body was possessed by Kenjaku after the events of Jujutsu Kaisen 0while Gojo's body was possessed by Yuta (who copied the same cursed technique) during the battle against Sukuna.
But once the climactic final battle was over, it was never explicitly stated what happened to these two corpses, although it is possible that Gojo's body was returned to the Gojo Clan and given a proper burial. On the other hand, Fumihiko Takaba was seen preparing a new comedy routine with a man who looks a lot like Geto, although his face was never shown. Is this the corpse of Geto/Kenjaku that was revived by Takaba's comedy technique? Or is it just someone else who happens to look like him?
1 Where are the other members of the Gojo clan?
Satoru Gojo's relatives have never been seen
In his world Jujutsu Kaisenthere are several established wizarding families or clans. Most of them were left underdeveloped as the manga plot was mainly centered on the infamous Zenin Clan, but The Gojo clan is most intriguing as their leader is none other than the powerful Satoru Gojo.
Even though it is mentioned several times throughout the series that Gojo is the head of a clan that theoretically has other members, none of them are ever seen, including Satoru's own parents. What was their role in Jujutsu society? How did they react to Satoru Gojo's imprisonment and sudden death? What are the origins of the Innate Limitless Technique and the Six Eyes? There's no doubt that this is one of the biggest unexplored plot points of all Jujutsu Kaisen.
