Gege Akutami comes back to finish his heralded manga Jujustu Kaisen with an epilogue meant for the final volume. Thanks to the internet we were able to get our hands on it early. This 16-page final chapter left me with more questions than answers. I dare say this might be Gege’s most ambiguous work yet.

The chapter follows four main characters: Yuko, Panda, Nobara, and Uraume. If you’re anything like me, you were initially surprised by these choices. Then you quickly remembered the type of person Gege is and thought, ‘Yeah, that checks out.’

It starts with a flashback of Yuko talking to Yuji on a snowy day. Yuko is the girl who had a crush on him. I know you were clueless, it’s okay.

Yuko went to their hometown to take care of her grandmother’s house, and then she runs into Yuji who went home to take care of his grandfather’s house. They chat for a while. Yuko stares at the love of her life, and that’s it. The scene abruptly ends. Nobara simply comments that Yuji is close to being an adult, and that’s all. If you’re looking for definitive answers, you won’t find them here, so turn back now.

Panda’s story was unexpected. It’s a flash forward from the present day about 60 years into the future…
