With the release of Chapter #271 on June 29, 2025,Jujutsu Kaisen’s story came to an end after six years and 27 volumes.Jujutsu Kaisenbecame one of the best modern manga with incredible moments and one of the strongest villains in shōnen, so its ending leaves a bittersweet aftertaste and a great void in the hearts of fans. However,it’s not a definitive goodbye toJujutsu Kaisen’s beloved characters, since there is still a long road for fans to enjoy the story with plenty of other projects.
Jujutsu Kaisenextends beyond just the manga, being one of the most successful franchises in recent years, even beating the all-time favoriteOne Pieceand becoming theworld’s most popular anime of 2023.With movies and the anime series, there’s a lot of upcoming material for fans still craving more. The series is far from over even after Gege Akutami’s manga finale, so here’s a guide to everyJujutsu Kaisenproject currently in development for fans to keep an eye on.
Jujutsu Kaisen Reaches Major Milestone Just Ahead of Its Ending
Jujutsu Kaisen’s newest achievement sees the series join the ranks of the greatest manga of all time.
Jujutsu Kaisen’s Anime Will Return With Another Season
Jujutsu KaisenWill Have a Recopilatory Movie of Gojo Satoru’s Past
While the manga may have ended,the anime series ofJujutsu Kaisenis only halfway through the story so far, as season 2 is adapted until the Shibuya Incident Arc in chapter 138. SinceJujutsu Kaisenseason 3 is currently in production, fans will get to see the anticipated adaptation of the Culling Game Arc, and with the number of chapters left, another season will probably follow suit to adapt the rest of the manga.
Since the anime studio, MAPPA, has currently announced other animation projects from other franchises, and given thatJujutsu Kaisenseason 3 hasn’t revealed a release window yet, this won’t arrive any time soon. However, fans can find solace in the meantime with thenew compilation movie of the Hidden Inventoryand Premature Death arcscoveringthe high school days of Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto, which is set to premiere in 2025. From there, it’s safe to assumeJujutsu Kaisen season 3will be released afterward, probably at some point in 2025 or early 2026.
Also,Jujutsu Kaisen’s anime adaptation is quite faithful to the source material and was praised for its incredible animation; therefore, since many fans have referred to the Culling Game as confusing in some parts, and that expanded the cast of the series by introducing many characters in a battle royale setting, it’s an arc that could be enhanced by the animation, which means that even manga readers should look forward to the upcoming season.
WillJujutsu KaisenGet a Spinoff Prequel or a Sequel?
Jujutsu Kaisen’s Ending Leaves Room for Continuing the Story
Although currently there isn’t any confirmation about a possible sequel andJujutsu Kaisen’s recently announced project was a disappointment,the manga ending left enough space to continue the story as the battle against the curses is still ongoing, and there are also several mysteries left unresolved that can be tackled if there were a Part 2, like the name and functioning of Yuji’s domain expansion, the future of the barrier in Japan, and the ending of the debate of optimization vs. eradicate cursed energy.
However,the probability ofJujutsu Kaisenhaving a Part 2 in the works is lowbecause the author, Gege Akutami, struggled with the weekly serialization during the final stretch of the manga, as proved by the increases in the number of breaks and the lower quality of the art. Moreover, what fans have been asking for the most is the backstory of Sukuna during the Heian era, which could delve into his relationship with Uraume and Yorozu in a spin-off prequel likeMy Hero Academia: Vigilantesor even in a novel or one-shot.
The series will release a new guidebook on July 16, 2025, and anotherJujutsu Kaisen Exhibitionwill be held in Osaka in spring and Fukuoka in summer 2025.
Since Akutami hasn’t burned the bridge of another installment of the series, it creates the possibility ofJujutsu Kaisengetting theBorutoandFairy Tail: 100 Years Questtreatment and continuing the story with another artist. Nevertheless, with the confirmation ofJJKgetting a panel in the Jump Festa 2025 to be held in December and the release of volumes 29 and 30 of the manga right after, it will be the perfect time to announce another project, so fans should keep on the lookout and enjoy the other material asJujutsu Kaisen’s ending doesn’t mean the farewell to the franchise.
