Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 21 Contents
In case you’re unfamiliar, Jujutsu Kaisen is a manga series by Gege Akutami that is serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump. The series began in March 2018, and it has since become one of Shonen Jump’s biggest hits. As of August 2022, the series has over 70 million copies in circulation. Its popularity was also boosted by the anime adaptation by studio MAPPA. There was also a movie released a few months ago entitled Jujutsu Kaisen 0 which is based on the prequel manga of the same name. The series’ story follows Yuji Itadori, an unusually strong high school student who accidentally becomes host to a powerful curse named Ryomen Sukuna. While he is sentenced to death because of this, his execution is postponed as he is taken under the wing of Satoru Gojo, the world’s strongest Jujutsu sorcerer. As the previous volume contained nine chapters, this upcoming volume will also compile nine chapters from the manga. Specifically, all the Tokyo No. 2 Colony Arc chapters will be compiled in the new volume, alongside Chapter 185 entitled ByeBye. In this arc, Kinji Hakari and Panda venture into the second Tokyo colony in search of Hajime Kashimo. READ MORE: What Manga Chapter Does the Anime End in Jujutsu Kaisen?
Hajime Kashimo’s Role in Jujutsu Kaisen
Kashimo is a Jujutsu sorcerer from 400 years ago, and he was one of the strongest of his time. In the series’ events, Kashimo is reincarnated into an unnamed body, making him even stronger, enough for him to be a dominant force in the Culling Game. The body that he currently inhabits is unnamed, though there have been some theories that the body belonged to a member of the Gojo family. However, this volume cover disproves that theory as his hair color is revealed to be teal. Upon its reveal, fans reacted positively to the cover as many liked the design. Though there are fans who joked about his hair color, both in the Twitter replies and in the Reddit discussion thread. Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 21 will be released in Japan on December 2, 2022. Currently, there’s no word yet on when it will be released in English outside Japan. Discover more of our insights and the latest anime news by following us on Twitter @epicstreamanime.
