UPDATE: The manga series Jujutsu Kaisen is racing towards its climax with intense battles concluding and new alliances forming. Chapter 21 reveals pivotal moments as Tsurugi suffers defeat in a critical duel against Dabura, escalating tensions between sorcerers and the Simurians.
In this latest chapter, Tsurugi’s loss marks a turning point. After a devastating conflict where Yuka Okkotsu remains hidden, the ongoing struggle between Mahoraga and Dabura intensifies. As the stakes rise, Yuji Itadori, endowed with immense power, joins forces with Maru in a groundbreaking attempt to forge a new era of peace.
The urgency is palpable as the conflict reaches a boiling point. Following failed negotiations with the Simurians, tensions erupted after Cross was fatally shot, prompting Dabura to challenge the sorcerers. With no strong contenders left, Yuka bravely volunteered to sacrifice herself, aware that her time is limited.
In a desperate bid to protect Yuka and force the Simurians off the planet, Tsurugi challenged Maru to a duel, but ultimately fell short. As Tsurugi grapples with his defeat, Yuji, who has evolved into a being beyond human, reveals his profound plan. Teaming up with Maru, they aim to create a Harmony that breaks the cycle of cursed spirits, which have plagued humanity for centuries.
Yuji’s collaboration with Maru is critical; they seek to establish a world free from curses, which have historically driven a wedge between sorcerers and Simurians. Cursed spirits are seen by sorcerers as threats, while Simurians regard them with reverence. This fundamental conflict has led to immense suffering, as witnessed by the losses endured by Yuji’s closest allies, Cross and Tsurugi.
As the chapter unfolds, Maru introduces Yuji to the oldest Kalyan aboard their spaceship, a symbol of hope in their quest for peace. The duo is determined to end the cycle of misery that has persisted for over a millennium, and their mission is now more urgent than ever.
Adding to the intrigue, Yuji possesses the diary of Yuki Tsukumo, a special grade sorcerer who dedicated her life to understanding curses. The insights from Yuki’s notes, obtained from her research, could be the key to achieving their goals. Tragically, Yuki’s dreams were cut short when she fell in battle against Kenjaku, but her legacy lives on through Yuji’s determination.
As the chapter closes, the stakes rise with the emergence of Mahito, who has been left in turmoil since being absorbed by Kenjaku. His potential role in the plan to eradicate curses adds another layer of urgency to the narrative.
The story of Jujutsu Kaisen reflects a brutal cycle of fear and conflict, driven by the existence of curses that have plagued humanity for millennia. As long as negative emotions exist, curses will continue to emerge, threatening human lives and pitting sorcerers against them.
With the series heading towards its conclusion, there is a burgeoning sense of hope that the characters may finally find a way to create a better world. The groundwork laid by Yuki Tsukumo and the current efforts of Yuji and Maru suggest that an end to this tragic cycle may soon be within reach.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the next developments in this gripping saga, as the conclusion of Jujutsu Kaisen promises to deliver an epic and emotional resolution. Stay tuned for more updates as this story continues to unfold.
