Hello! I’m KENTA, a manga-loving Japanese fan! In this article, I’ll be analyzing the shocking developments in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 270 and the hidden meaning behind them. I’ll also break down the message embedded in the title, “The End of the Dream,” and how the battle between Yuji Itadori and Sukuna could impact the story. Together, let’s dive into predictions for what’s to come next. Get ready for a thrilling analysis, and stick around until the end of the article!
The Meaning Behind the Title “The End of the Dream”
The title “The End of the Dream” leaves a strong impression on readers, hinting that the story may be approaching its conclusion. However, there might be a deeper meaning behind it. Looking back at the flow of the story so far, some may feel that the recent developments seem too convenient.
For example, although it seems like things have settled after the rescue of Megumi Fushiguro and the defeat of Sukuna, is that really the case? There’s a rising theory that Megumi might be “dreaming.” What if the world we thought was real is actually unfolding within Megumi’s dream? In this context, the “dream” may not refer to a literal dream, but instead, a mental illusion or hope.
The Convenient Developments and Megumi’s Dream
There are several reasons to consider that Megumi might be dreaming. The first is that the story has become almost too “convenient.” Despite the fierce battle with Sukuna, doesn’t it feel like too many characters have survived? Satoru Gojo lost his life after being defeated by Sukuna, but other characters have miraculously survived. Hiromi Higuruma and Kusakabe were hit by Sukuna’s attacks but only sustained minor injuries, which seems suspiciously unrealistic.
Additionally, the Sukuna that Gojo fought was not at his full strength, yet Sukuna should have become even more powerful after that. The fact that other sorcerers are still alive suggests that this might not be reality but rather a “dream.”
The Meaning of Sukuna’s Final Words
Another point to focus on is Sukuna’s final words. After being stripped from Megumi and reduced to a pitiful state, Sukuna vanished in Itadori’s hands but left the words, “Don’t underestimate me; I am a curse.” This suggests that Sukuna may not be completely gone.
As a curse, his presence might linger in some form, implying that the story isn’t entirely over yet. Sukuna could still play a significant role in the future, especially in his relationship with Itadori.
Megumi’s Dream Reflecting Reality
The most important point regarding the title “The End of the Dream” is whether or not Megumi’s dream reflects reality. The events depicted after Chapter 268, from the moment Megumi supposedly woke up, may actually be unfolding within his dream.
Another mystery is the presence of Nobara Kugisaki. Although she temporarily revived during the battle with Sukuna’s fingers, it’s likely that she’s already dead. Her reappearance could be a result of Megumi’s dream.
The True Meaning of “Jujutsu Kaisen” to Be Revealed in Chapter 271
A key focus for Chapter 271 is the possibility that the title “Jujutsu Kaisen” itself will be fully explained. The kanji for “回る” (kaoru) in the title, which means “to revolve or circle back,” might take on a significant role.
This suggests that curses may circle back and the story could return to its starting point. The revolving nature of the curse might symbolize that the curse will never truly be broken, continuing into the next generation or leading to a new battle.
The Cycle of Endings and Beginnings
As the title “Jujutsu Kaisen” suggests, curses continue to revolve. As the story approaches its conclusion, the focus will be on whether curses will disappear or take on a new form and continue. The title of Chapter 270, “The End of the Dream,” may not signify the end of a dream and the arrival of reality, but rather the merging of dream and reality, as the story begins its next cycle.
