No, there won’t be a Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 272. The manga has officially ended with JJK 271. Unfortunately, there was no sequel announced at the end of the final chapter either. JJK 271 officially released on 29th September 2024.
In the latest chapter, we get to see Trio finding the curse harasser, the interaction between Mahito and Sukuna, and a flashback of Gojo’s heart-to-heart with Yuji.
Is There Any Hope for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 272?
It’s unlikely that Gege will continue with Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 272 or a sequel. Many plot points remain unresolved, like Yuji’s domain name, Tengen’s fate, Megumi’s future, and the new ranking system for Jujutsu sorcerers.
Many fans are hopeful that Gege will eventually announce a sequel, as there is potential for the story to continue.
What Happened in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 271?
Yuji, Nobara, and Megumi are investigating a curse harassment case involving Fukuzawa Souta. While Fukuzawa appears unaffected, his fiancée shows signs of being cursed. The trio tries to figure out where the curse user is hiding.
The trio figured out the specific range of the ability and decided to make the couple bait, they sent them to their friend’s house and waited for the curse user to reactivate their technique.
They eventually lure out the cursed user and subdue him. The curse user was scared but Yuji assured him that he won’t be executed.
There’s a flashback where Gojo gives Yuji some emotional final advice, encouraging him to keep growing stronger even if he is gone.
Yuji also says he won’t forget Gojo. At the end of the flashback, Gojo tells Yuji he is really confident in Yuji.
The latest chapter also features a conversation between Mahito and Sukuna’s soul. Mahito gets frustrated because Sukuna isn’t driven by the same chaotic emotions he is.
Sukuna makes it clear that he doesn’t care about others’ opinions or Mahito’s ideas. Sukuna also revealed he had two paths, and if there is a next time he would happily walk the other path this time around.
This conversation leaves Mahito feeling inferior, realizing how far Sukuna’s mindset and power are from his own.
The final panel of the chapter shows Sukuna’s last remaining finger and the editor’s note revealing that Volume 29 and 30 will be released together on 30th December 2024.
Final Words
The end of Jujutsu Kaisen with JJK 271 wraps up the main storylines but leaves some open-ended questions that might make fans hopeful for a sequel.
Personally, I don’t think there will be a sequel. While a lot of fans are disappointed by the ending, I believe it was better than the most shonen manga’s endings.
