Here we are. The end. Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 271 is the final chapter, and it hits like a curse punch to the gut. No more guessing where Gege Akutami is taking us next — this is it. Let’s break down how this chaotic masterpiece wraps everything up.
The Setup: A Final Investigation
We jump straight into the action. Yuji, Nobara, and Megumi are deep in a cursed investigation involving a couple, where a mysterious technique distorts the fiancé’s face. No time is wasted. The curse user is nearby, but they don’t know where — it’s like being in the middle of a game of hide-and-seek, but the stakes are life and death.
Nobara, ever the sharp one, quickly pieces together that this curse user is no ordinary player. They’ve got range, precision, and the confidence of someone who’s been around. But the big question remains: How do they find him before he strikes again?
The Plan: Tight Strategy in a Big City
What follows is peak Jujutsu Kaisen — strategy mixed with humor. Yuji, trying to keep things simple, suggests an open field to spot the curse user. Nobara quickly shuts that down, calling him a dumbass. We get classic banter here, but the emerging plan is smart and fast. The trio will use a high-rise building to force the couple out of the curse technique’s range. It’s all about baiting the curse user to show his hand.
It’s a big city, there are a lot of blind spots, and the 100-yard radius gives their target plenty of room to hide. But as always, Yuji, Nobara, and Megumi are ready to handle things when it gets complicated. The plan kicks off: they split up, take vantage points, and wait for the curse technique to activate once the couple gets out of range.
The Face-Off: Who’s the Prankster?
And bam — just like that, the curse user’s technique reactivates, and the trio locks in. Nobara, as bold as ever, gets in the guy’s face, demanding to know who he is. But this is where things take a wild twist. The curse user isn’t some typical villain. He’s a guy the girl from the couple doesn’t even remember — a former customer who spent millions on her when she worked as a hostess. Yeah, that’s right. The curse came from his obsession, his rage over being forgotten.
This reveal isn’t just another fight scene. It’s a gut punch. It brings home the message: curses aren’t just evil spirits floating around. They’re born from real emotions — jealousy, loneliness, frustration. And in this case, it’s personal.
Yuji’s Growth: A Flashback to Gojo
In the middle of all this, we get a flashback to Yuji’s training with Gojo. It’s simple but powerful. Gojo tells Yuji to think beyond him – to grow stronger in ways even Gojo couldn’t. This moment feels like a torch-passing like Gojo knew his time was limited. It sets Yuji up as the next generation of jujutsu sorcerers, and you can feel that weight on him now.
Gojo was more than just a mentor; he was a symbol of what jujutsu sorcery could be. But now, with him gone, the future rests on Yuji’s shoulders. It’s subtle, but it’s there — Yuji has to carry the legacy, and this chapter shows he’s ready.
The Final Battle: Sukuna and Mahito’s Last Words
The chapter doesn’t end with a peaceful resolution, though. Nope. We get a dark and eerie final scene featuring Sukuna and Mahito. Sukuna, in his true form, confronts Mahito in what feels like a final conversation. Mahito talks about revenge, about living with resentment, and hints that Sukuna has been carrying a burden this whole time.
This isn’t just a random villain monologue. This is Jujutsu Kaisen at its finest, showing that even the most powerful cursed spirits have deep, emotional motivations. Sukuna, the king of curses, has always been more than a mindless monster. He’s been playing a long game, and now, as the story closes, we get a glimpse into his psyche. This is no easy goodbye — it’s unsettling and leaves us with more questions than answers.
The Final Moments: A Bittersweet Goodbye
Back to Yuji, Nobara, and Megumi. After they apprehend the curse user, there’s a moment of quiet reflection. They talk, they joke, but there’s an undercurrent of finality. Yuji, looking down at his hand, mentions one of Sukuna’s fingers. He tosses it, saying it’s harmless now. It’s a quiet way to signal the end of Sukuna’s influence — or at least that’s what Yuji thinks.
This is the final curtain call for the trio we’ve followed since day one. No grand explosion, no over-the-top finale. Just three sorcerers, doing their job, handling curses, and moving on. But the weight of everything they’ve been through hangs in the air. You can feel that they’ve grown, not just as sorcerers but as people.
Final Thoughts: A True JJK Ending
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 271 is the perfect way to end this epic journey. It’s chaotic, messy, and emotional — everything we’ve come to expect from Gege Akutami. There’s no grand resolution or clean ending, but that’s the point. Curses, like emotions, are complicated. And in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, nothing is ever that simple.
This Last chapter doesn’t tie everything up in a neat bow, but it leaves us with a sense of closure. Yuji, Nobara, and Megumi are still fighting the good fight, still growing, and still dealing with the messy, cursed world they’ve been thrown into. And as readers, that’s the best we could ask for.
So, with one last bow, Jujutsu Kaisen ends not with a bang, but with a quiet, thoughtful goodbye — and that, in itself, is more powerful than any explosive finale could ever be.
