Fans know that additional content for this franchise is very limited. In fact, it's entirely possible. J.J.K.As a story, it ended permanently here.

However, some fans are waiting for a potential one-shot or mini-series to drop at some point in the future. Of course, the possibility of a sequel cannot be denied. if J.J.K. If there is a sequel, fans should keep in mind that the story will likely feature a bigger threat than Rykmen Sukuna, the King of Curses.

Sukuna's power in JJK

• Ryomen Sukuna is JJK's strongest villain.
• Sukuna put on a show at the JJK Shinjuku showdown.

Sukuna was the strongest force. J.J.K.. Fans knew he was the King of Curses and the most powerful wizard in history. In fact, there was only one wizard in the entire series that came close to Sukuna in terms of power, and that was his contemporary, Gojo. Sukuna's power was strong enough to completely dominate the Heian period, and the wizards who existed at the time used him to hone their skills in battle. Thanks to his transformation into a cursed being, Sukuna was reincarnated in modern times. Fans saw the full power of Sukuna in the Shinjuku showdown and got to witness an incredibly exciting battle where the two put their all into it. Although they were almost evenly matched, Sukuna was able to pull one over Gojo and win. From this point on, fans got to raid against Sukuna, and it was definitely one of the most exciting parts of the entire series.

Hello, Gojo Satoru! I will never forget you in my life! – Sukuna

Fans have seen the King of Curses face off against numerous wizards, and he has an overwhelming advantage over most of them, showing just how great his power really is. Eventually, the cooperation of almost all of JJK's major wizards took him down, and he eventually fell in battle with the series' protagonist, Yuji Itadori. Unfortunately, Sukuna was destroyed in battle, and since he has no real body, his chances of returning in the future are very slim. Regardless of whether Sukuna is there or not, fans at least know that he won't be able to play a villain in the future since his story arc as a villain is completely over. That's why fans know that if JJK gets a sequel, whether it's a movie, a one-shot series, or a multi-chapter miniseries, a different villain will have to appear.

Why JJK's sequel needs stronger enemies

To threaten Yuji and his party, a powerful enemy must appear.

Naturally, the first thing fans wonder about enemies with greater power than Sukuna is why they are needed in the story. The answer to this question is simple. if J.J.K.'s The sequel is set immediately after the events of the Shinjuku Showdown arc, and the enemy forces are likely to be weaker than Sukuna. In the end, the majority of Wizards have yet to reach their full potential and are still unfinished products. A very interesting fight, as you will need to join forces to win against such an enemy, and even if you don't, a weaker villain will be better able to deal with the threat and the stakes of the fight will be very high.

So does that mean he has the same potential as Sukuna-sensei? – Uraume

However, this will lower the excitement as it doesn't live up to the standards that the Shinjuku Showdown arc delivers. Something bigger has to happen to really excite the fans. J.J.K.This is where the emergence of a bigger villain than Sukuna begins. This is not the only reason J.J.K. We need a villain stronger than Sukuna.

As fans know, most of JJK's main actors have tremendous potential. Yuji himself may become Sukuna's equal in the future. Megumi has powers that rival Yuji's and reaches a similar level to Gojo's. Likewise, Yuta is known as the next Gojo. Novara has limited strength, but can also climb very tall ladders. All things considered, the cast of JJK is extremely powerful, and if the sequel is set after these students graduate, their power levels will likely be so high that a Sukuna-level threat can't do them any harm. Especially if you join forces with guys like Sukuna, you will be able to win the battle without much difficulty, especially after you unleash your full potential. This is why JJK's next villain has to be stronger than Sukuna. Because otherwise there would be absolutely no challenge of any kind they pose and the intensity would be very low.

Who will be the next JJK villain?

The next villain could emerge from the Old World

So, the natural question is who will be the next villain? J.J.K. It's going to happen. In fact, there is absolutely no wizard stronger than Sukuna. J.J.K. What fans know. But history is possible. J.J.K. It's ambiguous and could bring back someone even stronger than before the Heian era that fans don't know about yet. This requires the author to set up an entirely new plot and introduce new knowledge into the work. J.J.K. I.

In the grand scheme of things, this is just an idea to excite fans and nothing more. But if JJK is going to produce a sequel that unleashes the main cast's full potential (which fans will prefer), there needs to be a much bigger threat to follow. It may be that the plans Kenjaku had regarding the merger eventually come to fruition, and the wizard's next mission will be to respond.

In some ways, it will be a bigger threat than Sukuna and will excite fans endlessly. As of now, J.J.K.There are no plans to continue as a series, but due to its immense popularity, fans hope that the author will provide a little bit here and there so the series will continue for years to come.

JJK 271, the final chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, was finally released on September 29, 2024. Fans can read the series on the MANGA Plus and Shonen Jump apps.
