The popular manga series is nearing its conclusion as pivotal battles unfold and alliances begin to form. In the latest developments, Tsurugi has faced defeat in his duel while Yuka Okkotsu remains concealed. The intense conflict between Mahoraga and Dabura continues, with Yuji Itadori harnessing significant power alongside Maru to forge a path toward peace between sorcerers and the Simurians.
Tensions escalated when negotiations with the Simurians collapsed following the fatal shooting of Cross. In the aftermath, Dabura issued a challenge, demanding a duel to resolve the escalating conflict. With no other sorcerer strong enough to confront him, Yuka chose to sacrifice herself, fully aware that she has only three months left to live. In a desperate bid to protect her, Tsurugi challenged Maru to a duel, but Chapter 21 concludes with Tsurugi’s loss, despite the potential for victory thanks to Rika.
Yuka’s absence has been notable, as she remains hidden within her shadows, while Mahoraga and Dabura’s battle rages on. Yuji Itadori has made it clear he will not interfere in this particular conflict. Instead, he has been cultivating his immense power over the decades, which now places him in a unique position to contribute significantly to the ongoing struggles.
Following Tsurugi’s defeat, Maru approached Yuji, revealing the oldest Kalyan aboard his spacecraft. Maru aims to create a state of Harmony between Earth’s inhabitants and the Simurians, believing that Yuji’s powers are crucial to this mission. His vision involves breaking the cycle of cursed spirits that have plagued humanity for over a millennium. The existence of these spirits has perpetuated hostilities, as sorcerers view them as threats while the Simurians regard them as sacred.
Yuji, who cannot age and exists in a liminal space between human and curse, sees this partnership with Maru as a vital opportunity. He carries a diary left by the special grade sorcerer, Yuki Tsukumo, which contains crucial research on curses. Before her death in a battle against Kenjaku, Yuki entrusted her findings to Choso, who ultimately passed them to Yuji. The diary’s insights will be instrumental in the impending struggle.
As Chapter 21 closes, Yuji and Maru encounter Mahito, whose turmoil since being absorbed by Kenjaku has left him restless. This meeting may prove critical in their plan to eradicate curses entirely. These malevolent entities have existed for centuries, thriving on humanity’s negative emotions and resulting in countless tragedies.
The quest to break this brutal cycle was a driving force for Yuki Tsukumo, who sought answers during her lifetime. Despite her tragic end, her work continues to resonate, and the knowledge she left behind may offer the solutions her successors need.
With the current narrative positioning itself to potentially reshape the Jujutsu society, there is a renewed sense of hope that the series will conclude on a high note, aligning with the aspirations of its beloved characters. The anticipation builds as readers await further developments in this intricate saga.
