Which scenario do you think it'll be? Discord: discord.gg/manganimist Twitter: twitter.com/manganimist

nobara wakes up from her coma, everyone is dead. “what the fu-“

If i see a "bro fell off" comment I'll expand my malevolent shrine on you

Yuji being the only one to die would also tie into his breakdown in Shibuya. "Only I should die...!"

It’s Yuji, he has way too many death flags. “Don’t end up like me, die being surounded by others” It’s been set up from the beginning, Yuji will die along with Sukuna, fufilling his goal, “The only thing that I can do”.

Sukuna: ok that was hella fun, alr Megubro see ya later!! *leaves his body after killing everybody else*

If Gege doesn’t go back on his word and keep this 1 lives 1 dies thing going it’s actually incredibly good writing to leave everyone ambiguous up until now. As your describes literally ANY of them could live or ANY of them could die. Which is quite insane.

If Todo dies next, its 100% Yuji being the last standing.

I can see Yuji dying at the end. He literally has so so so many death flags compared to Gojo and Choso ever had.

Maybe it's the Yuji stan in me, but I honestly think he'll be the lone survivor, if only because it's the most narratively interesting thing to do. Yuji's entire purpose in the story was to live long enough to die, but him fulfilling his purpose and THEN having to find purpose afterwards would be really interesting. It would also make for a tragic, but interesting inversion of his grandfather's wish. I just can't imagine what kind of narrative relevance Nobara, Gojo, or even Megumi have at this point. Nobara's been gone for years (and Gege never gave her a chance to be relevant anyways), Gojo's purpose was to pass the torch, and Megumi's purpose of saving his sister is gone. There's nothing left for him to even do anymore. Yuji's been way too comfortable being the cog in the great wheel. I think bucking the system by living on after defeating Sukuna would be a good way to do that. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but this just makes the most sense to me.

Why do I see JJK turning into a prequel for a new show? Leaving us on a Gege level cliffhanger

Yuji better live a happy life dammit he's had it the worst

Ive felt for a while that, since Nobara represents the normal person (compared to the other three), and therefore that that she represented humanity. After Shibuya, humanity's fate was unclear, as was Nobara's. Meaning she'd only come back at the end. But now, with Todo back, I've got less faith in this. Even still, i like it.

1:43 50 percentage of fire sale 💀

I'd like to drop a point for nobara surviving cause that'd reflect on shoko's situation with geto and gojo, that is if gojo doesn't come back. Her waking up after everything and learning about what happened would be soul crushing in a way like nothing else.

I enjoy watching your head jump around the screen, sometimes strategically placed

I think Gojo is gonna be the one who dies because its all about the new generation of sorcerers surviving

If Yuji dies Gege better look over his shoulder for the rest of his life. Edit: the fact some people take this as a serious threat is depressing.

It's really comforting knowing Yuji is either definitely gonna live or definitely gonna die

4:17 nah, i can see an ending where megumi had become reinvigorated by yuji and promising to stay that way even after hes gone. It's bleak in the sense that everyone around him and he'd cared about died, but hopeful and meaningful in the way that he gets a similar arc to yuji's in shibuya. He pushes on and learns to remain faithful to himself and not waste away because of the hardship in his life.

Honestly, I want to see Yuji be the only one alive yet we get a bittersweet ending from that; yeah, Sukuna took everything from him, but simply living to fulfill the role of a cog wasn’t the right play either. Yuji’s life has value, just like everyone else’s, and maybe if he’d realized that sooner, then not as many of his loved ones would’ve died. It challenges Yuji’s resolve in an interesting way, while still being a happy ending depending on how you look at it. He lost people that mattered to him, but that doesn’t mean he failed; he still killed Sukuna, still avenged everyone else, and still protected countless innocents along the way. You can’t save everyone, but you can still save others/Your life has value, don’t waste it. It’d also be a callback to all the times he’d adapted his cog mentality and still failed in the end; being a cog resulted in him losing to Choso, he failed to kill Mahito which brought the Culling Games as well as taking Todo’s hands and Nobara’s life, he literally lost Megumi because he didn’t care enough about himself to prevent Sukuna from taking advantage of their binding vow, and at the end of it all… he failed in stopping Sukuna from taking the lives of everyone he cared about.

Out of all the jjk analysis KZfaqrs you by far are the most reasonable and I respect that hella🤝🏽💯

I’ve been waiting for you to review this

I know you say you “yap” or a “yapping” but honestly ngl I like these more in depth “what if this happened” and explanation videos. EDIT: If I had to take any route in terms of ending. I would like Yuji to die in the end. Like imagine it. Imagine if when he’s dying…he’s surrounded by the people he’s helped and means something to in his final moments. Megumi, Todo, Gojo etc…I can imagine him reuniting with Choso and his grandfather after he passes. Whilst he fought for everyone else to have a good life.

You’re hands down the best dude for covering jjk

Whether Nobara is alive or not, it's still weird that no one but Yuji has even talked about her since Shibuya (unless I'm forgetting).

Anyone else think everyone gonna get smoked at the cost of defeating Sukuna and the one left “standing” will be a one-eyed Nobara who never touched the battlefield? What if the old lady narrator in season 2 is bedridden granny Kugisaki retelling the story. I always thought the choice of the VA for season 2 narrator felt like a clue

We gotta call it like it is. Megumi literally soaked in evil. He dying.

You’re the best, man. Thank you for easing my ASD anxiety so I can get back to running my satellite. 💙

I firmly believe Yuji will be the only one alive. The openings and mainly the endings of the seasons always have an emphasis on Yuji being by himself. I think Gege’s had his mind up about the ending for a very long time. I believe it’s ending 2, where Yuji is recording all of his friends around him… almost foreshadowing that all Yuji has left of the people he cared about are the memories of them

I think only one will live, with that being Megumi.

I firmly believe everyone except 1 will live. JJK is not a tragedy. While there’s brutal and depressing moments there is always hope and good. When we lose Nanami its him accepting the future and putting his faith in Yuji trusting the next generation. When we “lose” Nobara she reflects on her life and that it was good. When we “lose” Gojo he sees his friends and goofs around for one last time with them while Sukuna praises him. When we lose Higgy its in a moment of triumph of learning RCT and Yuji carrying the sword. When Yuta is cut down everyone is set up and ready to take Sukuna. When Kisakabe is struck down its after him gaining his courage and fighting for just a little more time for everyone to recover. When we lose Choso its when we get to see his deep love for his brother protecting him till the very end and Yuji acknowledging his love and giving it back. Where there is tragedy in jjk there is hope and beauty. JJK is about love and the embrace of humanity it will have a happy ending!

I was thinking about what you mentioned earlier as well. Knowing that yuji absorbed/is the last sukuna finger and the fact that they both have soul connection, nobaras straw doll CT might be what leads to the death of sukuna and yuji together as her CT attacks the main “part/body” with a detached or other part (the last finger). though if this ending takes place im not sure how gojo coming back would have any affect or relevance and if hes not coming back then that means in this scenario nobara would be the one who lives which makes this ending kinda awkward

Honestly I think Megumi being the only survivor does make sense and would make for a good twist and ending. In Megumi being left and becoming like the next Gojo, guiding others after him to help create a better world. And Megumi should be a lot stronger from Sukuna like Yuji if he gets saved and Sukuna already tamed all the shadows and theoretically shrine would have engraved itself on Megumi and I mean it should have considering how much use Sukuna has made of Megumi. And even though a lot of the shadows died their power still exists. So I could see an ending of Megumi and others having to pick up the pieces of the weastland that Japan will likely be afterwards as a pretty interesting ending. Megumi continuing Gojo’s work and trying to honor those who passed away especially those who died trying to save him. And part of the reason I think he could survive to the end is because of how much effort is going into saving him and how characters have died trying to save him, so him still dying is kind of a slap to the face and while Gege is cruel I don’t think he needlessly do something like this of something having no pay off.

I hope to god it’s only 1 dies, and I hope it’s Gojo. Not to hate, I love Gojo, but I’d rather the three students live to see the end

I still genuinely don't know why people would assume that nobara is dead. Like they went out of their way specifically to say that there was a chance she could be healed like four times and then never confirmed that she was dead. Like that's storytelling 101 for "she's alive"

I think the readers are also caught in the cog mentality and if that's the case them kudos to Gege for the amazing writing. While Yuji's grandfather told Yuji to die surrounded by others I don't think he meant Yuji should become a sacrificial lamb. If we take into consideration his words to Yuji and the way he lived his life and eventually died, we can see that he was an old man he was filled with regret of not doing enough in the past so much so where he pushed others away including his grandson and other people to the point where the only person who was there when he died is Yuji. All because Yuji came to the hospital forcefully, if you remember his grandad didn't want him there. So in that sense he most likely meant Yuji has the power to help others, which meant not to distance himself away from other people's problems so he doesn't die alone because everyone got killed by said problem he(Yuji) did not handle. He most likely wanted Yuji to live a full life like he did with people still around him. And Yuji hasnt reached his character development yet because he hasn't realized this fact himself since he still thinks he should fulfill his re just to die not thinking about his future LIFE. He still doesn't realize how much peer he actually has, of which his grandpa did which is why he said he is a strong kid. I had hoped Choso's sacrifice would bring Yuji to the realization that he has more to live for but that doesn't seem like it's hit yet though we are only 1 chapter in so we'll see. But I think this is how Yuji's arc is supposed to go because it fulfills all the conditions. He becomes what his grandfather wanted for him (lives a full life helping others and making friends along the way), becomes what Gojo dreamt about (strong while still having a connection to others and not lonely), becomes what Sukuna hates the most and completely opposes his ideologies (gains and uses his strength for the sake of other and actually knows love.), he becomes the pinnacle of Jujutsu just like Kenjaku wanted throughout 1000 years (powerful physique as well as peak jujutsu, the perfect specimen at the eye of the storm) and finally he fulfills Megumi's wish all the way from the beginning of the story when Yuji first ate Sukuna's finger (Megumi told Gojo he didn't want Yuji today.)

Personally my money is on it being megumi and for the exact reasons that you mentioned. I think him being at his lowest fits perfectly with the overarching theme of jjk-being one percent better everyday. We’ve seen this theme exemplified with a few of the characters, especially Yuji, but in his case I feel he represents a kind of prodigy in that rite whereas megumi in my perspective is the pov of someone who does not have that almost supernatural willpower and determination that Yuji has. He is essentially just a regular person(outside of being a sorcerer), so having him be the sole survivor kind of brings everything full circle as his journey to becoming “better” is a little more meaningful as it’s more representative of what the average person’s struggle with self improvement is like, particularly those suffering from any kind of ptsd or severe trauma.

I want alive megumi..,happy for once😢

I actually really like Yuji as a MC, I cant quite pinpoint why but his character and design are really pleasing and his story is very interesting, I personally hope if only one survives its him and if only one dies it should be gojo.

I don't think gojo can get any more rock bottom than dead

Im waiting for Takaba to be the last man standing and thinking it would be funny for all the dead characters to return for a family feud episode or something then sukuna turns good and says “this really was our jujutsu kaisen”

I think gege is gna take his sweet time and that the mangas never gunna end until everyone’s dead and Gege’s gone completely insane

I can see only Megumi lives ending where it's sad but with hope like many people closest to him died, but he learns to never give up in life and make new connections.

Gege about to end potentially man 🗣️🔥

9:44 Nobara coming back for blood 💀

I think megumi being the only one to die would make quite a bit of sense as well. picture this: "Yuji tries whatever he can to help him, gojo gets brought back to help with that, nobara comes back ig, but with all their efforts, sukuna's hold over megumi is too strong and they are left with no choice but to kill him." it would be quite the bitter sweet ending for especially yuji and gojo.

U reminded me of my theory (and a lot of people I guess) that Yuji is the only one dying. Nobara to not be confirmed dead means she is not, because not revealing her death has so many downsides, because it would have been more impactful if she dyed in Shibuya, the impact will be lost if it was announced later that she's dead. Bonus reason is that she "died" early with so much potential. Megumi being sunked in despair means there's a chance to pull him back. Gojo's comeback has a lot of theories u can pick & chose lol. Fanally, Yuji lost so much in Shibya and survived, doing it again might seem repetitive/ not as impactful. So, him dying after consuming all of Sukuna and surrounded by his people is more "appropriate" for him, which ties us back to the first ep

Many are hoping after last Chapter that Nobara could return and save Megumi together with Yuji. Seeing Yuji and Nobara could give him his will to live back who are basically like his siblings and closest friends. So it could be Gojo dead Yuji,Megumi and Nobara alive.

I can see Megumi dying mainly because of the fact that Reggie cursed him and said “let fate toy with you then die like a clown” and so far the story has been making Megumi slightly foolish in way. Mainly due to the fact that Megumi has been loosing everything and being cursed is something major in jjk. I do feel like the three dying theory might be the one Gege is going with and Yuji is gonna live.

Nice theory talk. I thought I was already subbed to you but I wasn't, so now I am. To be honest it looks like Yuji will be the lone survivor out of the four and that would be the ultimate irony since he was willing to sacrifice himself for the people around him. Either that or he is the only one to stay dead and he would fulfill his grandpa's dying wish. Either way Yuji will be part of an epic ending.

If only one can live itadori If only one can die Megumi

how many times does gege have to confirm gojo is dead before people realize he is dead💀

3rd option: gege changed his mind

In the beginning, Yuji was able to fake his death for an entire arc so I feel like it's totally possible that all of them survived,

My favorite theory of the “Nobara’s the only 1 who’ll survive” variety is that she’ll end up abandoning jujutsu and becoming an idol, thus being the main character of the idol manga that Akutami-sensei said they wanted to write after JJK.

i think everythings gonna point to yuji dying (grandfathers words, his heart ripped out of sukuna previously, fighting sukuna head on) but I wouldnt be surprised if gege leaves us on a bittersweet ending with almost exclusively yuji surviving and maturing much like gojo did going from a naiive kid to a confident, kind, matured sorcerer in his mid 30's. he'll lose the other 3 in the image, choso, todo, maybe yuta, maki & others too. Maybe he'll live a "normal" life with PTSD or smt once this is all over and die surrounded by others that are not sorcerers?

Gege : I am killing everyone ending

The thing about the most recent chapter is that Todo was taken out around the same point in the story’s timeline as Nobara…but his injury wasn’t as critical. Todo’s little helper gave some cryptic prognosis, everything beyond that is an awkward ambiguity, and weird breadcrumbs keep getting sprinkled over this Shinjukup Showdown (Sukuna healing a soul injury, characters gaining RCT, and soul swapping shenanigans that weren’t explained for a long time). It all could be as shortsighted and wasted as the school premise or it could be foreshadowing like Megumi pulling out the Mahoraga sign since the beginning of the series.

For some reason, Megumi being the last one makes the most sense to me. I feel like there are so many unanswered questions for his character arc and there is still room for his character to develop. Like a situation where everyone dies and Megumi realizes that his life has value and he lives his life to the fullest potential for all his friends that couldn't. You know maybe he fixes the order of the clans so new generations don't need to experience what he and maki went through, and he would fulfill the goal of the man who raised him. That situation makes the most sense and I can't really think of a reason for any character besides Yuji to be the last one but also Yuji sacrificing himself would fit his character arc perfectly. The only reason I can see a situation where Megumi doesn't live is one where the ending is supposed to be dark.

Only one will live 🙏

God bless yall

Looks like we are on the path to one living then

Technically Yuji already died but came back alive :P

Nice

Nobara sacrificing Yuji would be devastating… I can totally see Gege doing that and I have a feeling we’re going there because of the hints in chapter 259 😅😭 I’d love that kind of angst ending but I will also cry a lot 💔🥲

could you imagine nobara the only one who survives. that'd be tragic fr 😭😭 if sukuna won and got re-sealed she could be the main character in JJK 2 as an adult LOL nobara would look badass with an eye patch 🔨

4:17 prob a set up for jjk shippuden Z where the story either about megumi becoming the second coming of sukuna or megumi trying to revive his friends using some magical artifact that he has to gather

Watch as Gojo, Yuji and Megumi die and Nobara is the only one that survives, and the damage to her brain caused her to become amnesic and forgetting everyone...

"I don't know what happens when I die but I don't want to regret how I lived" YUJI

This was a statement made so many years ago, while it’s perfectly reasonably to assume Gege plans to hold true to what he said, it’s equally possible that Gege decides to change his mind for better or for worse.

No lie I think gege changed this thought process from when it was last said imo so much has happened but who knows

holly!! using straw doll technique to kill yuji and sukuna would be so BRUTAL but so cool at the same time and I kinda want it to happen

I don't think I've seen anyone yet comment on the fact that since mei mei and todo kept their plan secret from Yuji there is more info that they could have hidden from him, such as Nobara still being alive so that they can potentially use her curse technique against Sukuna. Considering that her CT can affect the soul?

I think only Yuji dying is pretty much the clear answer because Kenjaku also stated that as long as Yuji and Sukuna are alive, the cycle of curses will never end. This is definitely pointing towards both their deaths at the end of the story.

It would be a twisted kind of ending, yet kind of unique? If: 1. Few years later after the fight with Sukuna, Shoko was able to advance her RCT, thus healing also the soul, not just the body. 2. Shoko then tries to heal Nobara, which works, Nobara recovers and wakes up. 3. Nobara asks what happened, how long was she out. 4. Shoko then explains and tells what happened. 5. Everyone sacrificed their life to kill Sukuna, with the final clash, Megumi and Yuji having a conversation and being sorry to each other. 6. Suddenly, the last finger (20th) remained, hinting for another return of the King of Curses. ~ Just kidding, I don't know, haha

I think it’ll be Yuji to be the only one dying. 1) Nobara isn’t dead and it would be pointless to just randomly kill her now as that would takeaway from Mahito’s actions. 2) Megumi still has some character growth and exploration, it’s been heavily implied he’ll learn about Toji being his dad, and currently we have the whole cast fighting to only kill Sukuna but to bring Megumi back. 3) While I’m fairly neutral on what way Gojo goes if the only 1 dies option being chosen and it being Yuji then obviously Gojo will come back. But there’s also the fact that we still haven’t seen his choice between north or south (foreshadowing). However if he comes back I don’t see it being until after Sukuna is defeated since Yuji needs to be the one to beat him (narratively). Yuji’s being the one to die unironically is the good ending since he’ll die accomplishing his goal of being surrounded by loved ones, and would also make his character conclusion pretty well completed which ties into his mindset of being a cog in a machine (he’s a replacement piece in keeping the ones he cares about safe).

thought u we’re cooking until the end of

i really like how gege hasnt confirmed nobaras death. this leaves the idea up to debate as megumi (technically) and yuji are alive at this moment

From the beginning i always thought yuji would die saving everyone and i still believe it, his grandfater saying you want to die being surrounded by the ones you love seemed to be foreshadowing to me, its coming just you wait everyone will live but yuji

yuji will be the only one alive but he will be a harbinger of chaos.... the next sukuna

It’s so twisted how Yuuji’s grandfather’s last words could be interpreted in both scenarios AND MAKE SO MUCH SENSE.

todo already made a comeback...wont be suprised if nobara did too very soon

Yuji's death would make the most sense.

We still have the merger to sort of come in to the foreground

I could see a dark ending where only Nobora survived but in that perpetual state of limbo. The only one to survive is barely considered alive

Gojo stays dead, the others live.

Megumi will be the lastman standing, in his whole life he didn’t care about himself and just leave everything to the others. Now, its everyones turn to curse him on fulfilling the duty.

No matter the outcome, it’s gonna have been some hell of a ride and of course, with JJK, devastation is incoming fam 😢😭💔

Honestly I’d rather see Megami or Gojo die in the end. Megami has so little to live for freeing him from sukuna so he could die free seems a good ending for him. For Gojo I just don’t feel like there is a lot left for him to do after sukuna and the merger are gone. But nobara and yuji I think could be happy together. I feel like they have a lot of chemistry despite not being explicit and I’m a bit of a romantic so I would love to see them both decide to live on and carry the memories of whoever is dead by the end like todo said. Just my preferred ending.

i think nobara is alive, the reason we dont know if she is alive or not is because the story is mostly told from yuujis pov, and todo last chapter said that they are keeping things from yuuji due to his connection with sukuna, what if nobara is one of them? and the reason he got told she died is so that sukuna wouldnt expect her, may be far fetched tho lol

It’s got to be Yuji is the only one who lives, would be such a shitty ending if Gojo and Nobara come back. Plus Gojos dream to restart Jujutsu society and it makes more sense having our 4 heavy hitters (Yuji, Maki, Hakari & Yuta) leading this they’ve all been ostracised before making them perfect as the new leaders

The so called happy ending will make me the saddest. My boi yuji deserves to live a fulfilling life 😢

If RCT can heal physical damage like lost limbs as well as brain fatigue, can it potentially heal other mental damage like trauma?

i 100% agree plus this is also another confirmation that gojo comes back xD

I just think merger will happen, then yuji will consume it to contain it and then kill himself to kill the merger

We always forget about nobara. How gojo hide 20th finger so that sukuna eat his mother's head to gain full power. But nobara can destroy last finger.

Kenjaku already said that until sakuna and yuji exist cursed is gonna ve there so we already know unless gege changed his mind

In the latest chapter they mentioned that yuji and sukuna might be connected through some link so my theory is that nobara will come back and use resonance on yuji to kill him and sukuna through this connection. And maybe megumi or nobara will also die in the process so the "only one survives" rule will still fit.

Ever since I first entered the fandom with episode 1 a few days after it aired, I've been saying Yuji lives to see the ending. I was mocked incessantly for this until Sukuna took over Megumi's body and I'm not switching positions. The fact that we don't know Nobara's fate makes me believe that Gege has not changed his mind on 3 live or 3 die. If we knew her fate I'd go with my gut and say 2 of them live and 2 of them die. The way I personally see the series ending is with Gojo and/or Megumi dead. Sukuna I've always seen as defeated. I believe that Gege was debating not whether Sukuna would win but rather would Sukuna "live". 19 fingers + corpse = Full power. That leaves one finger. The debate I think was whether or not the last finger was in Gojo's possession or genuinely not known. If former then Rika consumes finger and Sukuna is killed off for good. If latter then Sukuna is defeated and nerfed but still a danger for the world at large. As such Sukuna just straight up dies. This actually makes me very hopeful for a "happy" ending. This leaves me with the conclusion that it is one dies route. Yuji I belive lives. Gojo mechanically should be coming back, and Nobara being the one who is dead is not very climatic. My official guess is Megumi dies. Megumi dies avenging his sister.
