What will be the future for Yuji and his companions? With anticipation and anxiety mixed, let’s try to decode the final message of the work as we head toward the conclusion.
Dream Sequence and Total Annihilation Theories: The Expected Ending for Jujutsu Kaisen
Theories regarding the final chapter have sparked much debate among readers. The possibilities of a dream sequence or total annihilation are being bolstered by foreshadowing and plot developments. Some readers have drawn comparisons to Neon Genesis Evangelion, which Gege Akutami has frequently referenced, predicting that the story may culminate in a similarly massive twist.
Dream Sequence Possibility and Foreshadowing in “End of the Dream”
The title “End of the Dream” and previous foreshadowing have led many to believe that the final chapter may turn out to be a dream sequence. There’s a theory that the world seen by key characters like Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara is actually an illusory one, disconnected from reality. The seemingly unnatural resurrection of characters such as Nobara Kugisaki hints that these events could all be part of a dream.
Connections with Evangelion‘s “End of the Dream”
Jujutsu Kaisen is known for its homages to other works, particularly Neon Genesis Evangelion. The phrase “End of the Dream” matches a line from the poster for the original Evangelion movie, which portrayed a scene where the boundary between illusion and reality blurs. Fans have also pointed out similarities in dialogue between Jujutsu Kaisen‘s Satoru Gojo and Evangelion‘s Shinji and Rei, further strengthening this theory.
Unnatural Character Resurrections
Readers have pointed out the odd revivals of characters like Nobara, Takaba, and Higuruma. Their return, particularly Nobara’s, who was heavily injured, suggests that some of the events may be happening in an illusory dream world. Other strange occurrences, such as Daido’s arm regenerating and the abrupt end of the Culling Game, have raised further suspicions.
The Mix of Fear and Hope for the Ending
As we approach the final chapter, readers are torn between fear of a bad ending and hope for a happy one. While some anticipate a tragic conclusion following Gojo’s death and the final battle with Kenjaku, others remain optimistic that the story will end on a more positive note.
In particular, there’s speculation that the title “End of the Dream” could symbolize the end of the nightmare and a return to a peaceful reality. Readers are hoping for a resolution where the main characters, despite the hardships, find their way to happiness.
Author Gege Akutami’s Message and Final Thoughts
With the final chapter looming, many questions remain unanswered. Is the dream Gojo’s, Yuji’s, or perhaps Megumi’s? How will it all connect to reality? As readers eagerly await the final installment, the fates of characters like Megumi and Yuji will be key points of focus.
Whether the “End of the Dream” signifies the conclusion of a literal dream or the closure of a nightmare, we’ll soon discover how the world of Jujutsu Kaisen ties everything together for its epic finale.
