As Jujutsu Kaisen prepares for its third anime season, fans are bracing for a possible repeat of the controversy that surrounded the end of Attack on Titan. Both series, known for their global popularity and intense fanbases, share more than just critical acclaim—they also share polarizing finales.
The Jujutsu Kaisen manga ended months ago, but its conclusion sparked heated debates across the internet. Many fans found the ending anticlimactic, with unanswered questions and the deaths of beloved characters, particularly Satoru Gojo.
Similarly, Attack on Titan’s finale drew mixed reactions when protagonist Eren Yeager was killed, and the story hinted at an endless cycle of conflict.
Leaks from the Jujutsu Kaisen manga finale quickly spread online, further fueling the controversy. Some fans defended the ending as thought-provoking, while others criticized it as unsatisfying. The fanbase remains divided, with some attempting to rewrite the story through unofficial projects.
A comparison between the two series reveals striking similarities. In both cases, the cycle of violence continues beyond the protagonists’ sacrifices. In Attack on Titan, a boy discovers a tree resembling the origin of the Titans, suggesting the return of Titan powers. In Jujutsu Kaisen, Sukuna’s final indestructible finger remains sealed but could one day unleash new tragedy if someone becomes his vessel.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3, currently in production by MAPPA, will adapt the Culling Game Arc and other key storylines that lead to the manga’s controversial conclusion. Fans are excited for the action-packed battles ahead but remain concerned about how the ending will be received once animated.
The anime adaptation of Attack on Titan softened some of the criticism toward its ending by giving fans time to process the story. Whether Jujutsu Kaisen will experience a similar shift in opinion remains to be seen.
Both series highlight the challenge of concluding a long-running, beloved franchise in a way that satisfies all fans. As Jujutsu Kaisen moves forward, it may continue to entertain millions, but it might also face the same storm of debate that Attack on Titan endured.
