Summary
- The epilogue explains how is Yuji’s life after death of Gojo
- Yuji finally becomes a normal person to enjoy his life
- Yuji’s snowy day out with Ozawa, his old classmate
In the epilogue of Jujutsu Kaisen, the author finally gives fans a warm and peaceful moment: Yuji Itadori spends a snowy day with Ozawa, one of his old classmates, in his usual carefree way. Indeed, this is an essential reminder, considering how much pain, battles, and sacrifices Yuji experienced during the whole series, all leading him to this simple moment in life.
Yuji’s path has certainly not been easy. His entire life changed From the moment he swallowed Sukuna’s cursed finger. Thrown into the world of dangers that curses present, it was one challenge after the other. He risked his life numerous times; fought powerful enemies; and carried the heavy burden of the lives lost along the way. Despite having formed solid friendships with people like Megumi and Nobara, Yuji often felt left with the weight of guilt and sorrow.
The scene is plain yet poignant. Yuji and Ozawa are observed appreciating the falling snow. They might be remembering past times or just being thrilled at the beauty of that moment. There’s no action, no curse, no tension; it is simply two people having a quiet, happy time. That is something remarkable to have after all the turmoil and chaos of the jujutsu world.
The snow itself gives an added layer of meaning to this scene. Snow usually symbolizes purity, peace, and a fresh start. As it falls softly around them, it is like cleansing all the pain and chaos Yuji has endured. The cold air, the soft white blanket of snow, and the calm atmosphere create a renewal feeling as if the world is offering Yuji a chance to rest and heal.
What makes this scene so powerful is how it highlights Yuji’s resilience and humanity. Despite everything he has gone through—the loss, the guilt, and the battles—he still finds beauty in the small, simple things. He still cherishes moments of joy and connection. This shows the strength of his character and his ability to keep moving forward, even when the odds are stacked against him.
