The wildly popular and record-breaking manga Jujutsu Kaisen is hitting a major turning point with the Shinjuku Showdown Arc nearing its end. Fans are buzzing with excitement and speculation, especially as the stakes have never been higher and many beloved characters have already met their fates. With such intense developments, there’s a strong demand for an anime adaptation of this gripping arc.
What’s Happened So Far in the Shinjuku Showdown Arc?
Beginning with Chapter 222, the Shinjuku Showdown Arc has kept readers hooked for 43 chapters, featuring an epic clash between the sorcerers and the powerful curse king, Sukuna. The arc has been a rollercoaster of emotions, with numerous sorcerers falling in battle and several fan favorites losing their lives. Chapter 236 was particularly shocking, revealing the death of the beloved character Gojo. Despite these losses, the story presses on, with Yuji continuing to prove himself as a strong protagonist. The remaining jujutsu sorcerers are now central to the fight against Sukuna, facing increasingly tough challenges.
Is There an Anime Adaptation of the Shinjuku Showdown Arc?
Currently, the Jujutsu Kaisen anime is working through the Shibuya Incident arc and still has several arcs to cover before it reaches the Shinjuku Showdown. Upcoming arcs include Itadori’s Extermination Arc, the Perfect Preparation Arc, and the Culling Game Arc. Given the pace of the anime, it will be a while before it catches up to the Shinjuku Showdown Arc.
As of now, there is no anime adaptation for the Shinjuku Showdown Arc. However, fans can be hopeful, as Mappa Studios, renowned for its high-quality animation and faithful adaptations, is expected to animate this arc eventually. While it will take time for the anime to reach this point, the studio’s track record suggests that the Shinjuku Showdown Arc will be given the same attention and care as previous arcs.
In the meantime, readers can continue to enjoy the dramatic twists and turns in the manga and eagerly anticipate how this epic story will be brought to life on screen.
