With the conclusion of the manga Jujutsu Kaisen approaching, fans have been hoping for news about a new manga series after the series ends with the announcement of a “mind-blowing” twist coming soon.
However, the latest announcement regarding Jujutsu Kaisen was fueled by the issue of Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump, which has created quite a buzz.
Instead of a continuation or a spin-off, Jujutsu Kaisen will provide free access to the first 245 chapters of the manga, allowing fans to enjoy it on Shonen Jump+ and Zebrack.
Although this is primarily a promotional strategy aimed at fans, it does not serve as a justification for the “mind-blowing” twist that has been widely advertised.
Additionally, there is a reverse countdown video that many believe relates to the impending conclusion of the manga, particularly highlighted on social media and in the preview for Volume 27. However, these elements have not significantly impacted the Jujutsu Kaisen fanbase.
Despite the widespread disappointment among fans regarding these announcements, the clarity regarding the next chapter of the manga has still been eagerly awaited, creating a significant buzz that helps mitigate the disappointment. The return of a beloved character has captured the attention of the entire fan community.
What just occurred once again confirms that whenever an anime or manga brand hints at a “big announcement,” the information needs to be scrutinized carefully. Fans of Jujutsu Kaisen have quickly expressed their disappointment on social media, drawing parallels to other works and emphasizing the lack of authenticity compared to the actual announcement.
A fan candidly expressed their disappointment: “I will never believe in ‘unbelievable announcements’ again.”
“Well… now we know that we can’t trust when WSJ says ‘big announcement’, ‘unbelievable announcement’, ‘super-secret announcement’…”, another user commented.
This is not the first time fans have felt disappointed with news about “special announcements.” My Hero Academia also teased a potential future announcement after its conclusion, only to turn out to be a mere promotional event to gauge global public interest.
Now, as the manga Jujutsu Kaisen only has a few final chapters left to wrap up the story, fans hope that the conclusion of the storyline will be thoroughly satisfying, without any unresolved issues regarding the “unbelievable” announcements. The final chapter is set to be released on September 30, 2024.
