Fans of the hit series Jujutsu Kaisen are buzzing with excitement following recent announcements about the franchise's future. The beloved manga, written by Akutami Gege, is coming to a thrilling conclusion with the final volumes, and new merchandise is hitting the shelves.
The last two volumes of Jujutsu Kaisen, numbered 29 and 30, are set for release on December 25, 2024. This date, significant for the series, promises fans the climactic end to the long-standing battle between protagonist Itadori Yuuji and the formidable Sukuna. Promotional materials encourage readers to immerse themselves fully by reading both volumes to grasp the storyline's emotional depth.
But that's not all! Bandai has unveiled the 'Saihikou Kirakira Can Badge Collection,' debuting during the upcoming anime's second season titled "Kaidama Aware." From September 30, collectors can pre-order beautiful glittering badges featuring characters like Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru exclusively via the Premium Bandai and Animate Online stores.
The badges are uniquely styled with vibrant colors, ensuring they will stand out on any collector's shelf. Each badge is accompanied by its dedicated holder card, making this collection not just merchandise but also a charming way to celebrate the series. Priced at 550 yen each, these badges will be available starting May 2025.
During the Jump Festa 2025, held at Makuhari Messe on December 21, Akutami Gege himself expressed his gratitude to fans. "Thank you for supporting Jujutsu Kaisen for almost seven years. I intend to repay you as I prepare for new challenges," Gege said, hinting at potential upcoming projects.
The success of the anime has been staggering, with the adaptation first airing from October 2020 to March 2021. This was followed by the film "Jujutsu Kaisen 0," which became one of the highest-grossing films of all time, earning approximately 265 billion yen globally. The second season aired from July to December 2023, continuing to rake in viewers worldwide.
Fans can also expect to see the Jujutsu Kaisen characters again on May 30, 2025, with the release of the compilation film titled "Kaidama Aware Movie Compilation." This film will feature re-edited versions of the notable episodes from the second season, showcasing the series' most engaging storylines and character arcs.
Both the final manga volumes and upcoming anime projects signal the end of one chapter and the beginning of another for Jujutsu Kaisen and its loyal fanbase. The combination of concluding the long-standing manga alongside exciting new merchandise and film adaptations ensures interest remains high.
With momentum building, plain merchandise has been transformed with stunning artwork, now available for eager fans to showcase their passion. The grip of Jujutsu Kaisen on pop culture remains strong, as its narrative continues to resonate widely, keeping viewers and readers engaged as they await the ultimate showdown.
This conclusion not only encapsulates years of storytelling but leaves the door open for future explorations of the universe, perhaps teasing new elements beyond the original narrative provided by Akutami Gege. Fans are encouraged to experience this groundbreaking series as it reaches its poignant finale this December and look forward to its animated adaptations continuing to flourish.
