What Do Fans Expect From Chapter 138? 

So far, in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga series, absolutely everything has gone to hell and the readers cannot be sure who is safe and who is not. Kano unleashes his beasties which destroys the central government and Tokyo is completely overwhelmed. In Chapter 137, author Akutami has brought back Yuta, in a manner which many fans didn’t expect. Yuji is on the run and Yuta is hunting him down.

Principal Yaga and Geto have been sentenced to death. And Gojo has been permanently exiled from the Jujutsu world. Fans who are regularly keeping up with the manga are getting super excited on what to possibly expect from the next release. Because Chapter 137 has been quite wild with the whole apocalypse scenario and everything is looking very bleak right now.

Fans are expecting a face-off between Yuta and Yuji in Chapter 138. Many readers are also hoping that the upcoming chapter will give a much needed update about Maki and Nobara.
