The popular series is ending in 4 chapters. Are you satisfied with the ending so far?
>>8 I respect Gege for wanting to throw out every last concept of his power system it's resulted in a really dense and dramatically empty finale. You can't just have Sukuna clap everyone's cheeks for months and still have other characters feel important.
>>48 By throw out do you mean "discard" or "use all"? But I agree that it's basically a sukunafest. Honestly I haven't found a single chapter of this finale interesting.
>>8 Why are they ending it? Isn't it extremely popular?
>>94 Good question honestly. What makes it even harder to understand is why the final fight ended so suddenly.
>>94 It doesn't have to go on forever. Those that last more than 300 chapters are usually an exception. Besides they can milk the fuck out of it with movies like they're doing it with Haikyuu and Kimetsu
JJK has been shitty for a while, really. Probably since Gojo died, and I'm not some big Gojo fanboy. Like >>48 said, since then the final battle against Sukuna has just been boring as he slaps everyone around and any time it LOOKS like Sukuna's in trouble it's all "just kidding, actually I'm too strong" or "BINDING VOW" bullshit. So may asspulls from the fake Gojo return to Nobara reappearing out of nowhere. And what does Yuji do? I dunno, just punch Sukuna hard enough that it's over (after the anti-climatic domain expansion talk-no-jutsu). What about the merger? Tengen? The USA involvement? So much shit that was flung at the wall and forgotten about.
>>94 There are some jokes about it being axed, which are just jokes yeah, but reception has not been good for a while and it's not just Gojofags, wouldn't surprise me if Shueisha wanted to avoid a Shokugeki no Douma/Promised Neverland scenario where the core fans were too burnout and irritated to give a fuck about the series anymore. Ending JJK now means they can at least still milk it with more anime content and the fanbase might still have enough goodwill to support them, unlike those cases.

>>127 Honestly I'm kind of happy that so many plot points were clearly dropped and that Nobara reappeared out of nowhere because now even the diehard fans have to admit Gege is capable of making mistakes. I've been criticizing the manga since mid-Shibuya but everyone would go "you can't judge it until the manga is over" or some bullshit like that lol.

This guy Gege really spent 10 pages talking about shin kage ryu (new shadow style) huh? At least we got official feet focus, I got hard.
>>127 just wait for the sequel in V Jump
