During the panel discussion, Gege Akutami dropped a bombshell statement, leaving fans in suspense. "This is probably, absolutely the last Jump Festa held while JUJUTSU KAISEN is being serialized." This cryptic comment has ignited speculations about the series potentially concluding by the time of the next Jump Festa in December.

Akutami also shed light on an upcoming exhibition titled "Exhibition: Gege Akutami 'JUJUTSU KAISEN,'" slated to take place at Shibuya Hikarie in Tokyo during the summer of 2024. Notably, due to the manga's digital creation process, original drawings in the traditional sense are absent. However, the exhibition aims to pull back the curtain on the creative process, featuring storyboards, drafts, and works by assistants that are usually hidden behind characters and speech bubbles. The objective is to inspire visitors and evoke the sentiment, 'I feel like I can draw manga too!'
