What Chapter Does Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1 End On

Okay, let’s talk Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1. We all loved it, right? But remember that feeling when it ended? Was it satisfying? Did it leave you wanting more? I think I have some thoughts!

Figuring out exactly where Season 1 really ends can be tricky. It's not always a clear-cut thing! Anime adaptations can be weird like that, right?

The Obvious Answer (Or Is It?)

Most people say it ends with the Death Painting Arc. Makes sense! It’s got a good climax and some emotional payoff. Episode 24 wraps up the fight with the brothers.

Yuji is back! Nobara and Megumi are kicking butt. Everything feels… relatively okay. Sort of! It's a decent stopping point for sure.

But Wait, There's More!

Here's where my possibly unpopular opinion comes in. What about the post-credits scenes? Those little sneaky bits of extra content! They always add something!

Episode 24 has that extra scene. Remember the higher-ups? They're scheming! They're talking about Yuji! This throws a wrench in the happy-ish ending.

The higher ups are shady, as we know! They are always up to no good, that's a given! It hints at what’s coming and is definitely important.

My Hot Take: It Ends Slightly Earlier

I'm going to say something radical. I think Season 1 truly ends with episode 23. The final fight of the brothers is just before the epilogue!

Hear me out. Episode 24 feels more like a setup for Season 2. Like a bridge! It's all about planting seeds for the next big thing. The Death Painting Arc ends in episode 23.

The main conflict of that arc is resolved by the end of that episode. We even get some sweet, sweet character development. Doesn't that feel like a conclusion?

Why Episode 23 Works Better (For Me)

Think about it. Episode 23 is about triumph, about the trio winning a major battle. Episode 24 feels like ominous foreshadowing!

Ending on a high note is always better, right? Let us have our moment of joy before crushing us with the inevitable darkness! Let's not have the drama right away.

Maybe I'm just a sucker for happy endings. Even temporary ones! But ending on episode 23 just feels more complete to me. Maybe it's the lack of high-up meddling for five minutes!

The Real Ending? When You Stop Watching

Ultimately, where Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1 ends is up to you. It's about your viewing experience! Where you felt the story had a satisfying pause.

Did you feel like the Death Painting Arc wrapped up nicely in episode 24? Great! Did you prefer the slightly more optimistic vibe of episode 23? Awesome! There’s no wrong answer. Unless you didn’t watch it at all. Watch it!

I believe in the power of deciding your own canon. So go forth and declare the "true" ending of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1! I already declared mine!

Remember, this is all just my opinion. Don't come at me, Jujutsu Kaisen fandom! Let's agree to disagree, and then go watch the series again! And again!

Regardless of where you think it ends, one thing's for sure: Jujutsu Kaisen is amazing. Now, let's all eagerly await more content!
