Gege teases who Yuji will end up with

This article contains spoilers from the Epilogue chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen.

Summary

• Yuji Itadori has never been shown to have a romantic partner in JJK.

• JJK's epilogue hinted at who Yuji might end up with romantically.

• The author hinted at a potential relationship between Yuji and Ozawa in the story.

Jujutsu Kaisen the final volume is officially out and with it, fans got a new chapter with an epilogue that only added to the already established ending of the series. It's safe to say JJK The epilogue chapter was incredibly exciting as fans saw the focus on the likes of Panda, Nobara, Sukuna, Uraume, and last but not least, the story's protagonist, Yuji Itadori. For fans who expected to see Yuji in combat after the war, this was not a good chapter.

However, for readers who wanted Yuji's romantic relationships to be developed, this was certainly huge. This chapter gave fans an idea of ​​Yuji's potential partner, and while the author didn't reveal anything definitive, the clues were right in your face.

Yuji's romantic partners in JJK so far

• Yuji Itadori was never shown to have a romantic partner

• JJK's epilogue left a hint as to who Yuji would end up with

For the entire duration of JJKfans have not seen Yuji Itadori have any romantic partners. This shouldn't surprise fans, because the story actually lasts a very short period of time. In the world of JJKnot even a year has passed since the beginning of the story and, consequently, not many relationships change in this short period of time. When you think about how turbulent these times were, it becomes especially impossible for these characters to develop their personal relationships. Therefore, Yuji, who was single at the beginning of JJK, continued to be single until the end.

While Yuji was without any romantic partner JJK for the vast majority of the story, that certainly doesn't mean the author didn't hint at something. As expected, the author implied that Yuji and Nobara were romantic partners, which was just there for the sake of it. It was made clear in the story on many occasions that there was absolutely nothing between these two characters, and most fans interpret the relationship as a sibling bond, for the most part. It can be said that Yuji and Megumi also had an interesting relationship, but again, in the end, this relationship was portrayed as more brotherly than anything else.

There is only one character where Yuji was drawn to Gege when it comes to a romantic subplot, and that is Ozawa. For fans who don't remember, Ozawa was one of Yuji's schoolmates who he really enjoyed spending time with. She had always been in love with him, and he was one of the few people who was actually kind to her. Ozawa returned JJK at a later time, and although she intended to confess her feelings to him, this never happened. Much to fans' surprise, Ozawa returned in the JJK epilogue and, once again, had the opportunity to spend time with Yuji Itadori.

How Yuji and Ozawa met once again

Yuji and Ozawa spent time together like old times

JJK'S The epilogue opened with Ozawa, which was a surprise for fans. She had returned to her hometown and, after spending many years there with a completely different physical appearance, was seen frustrated that no one would ever recognize her. In a way, Ozawa was frustrated with how superficial people can be, but her bubble burst when Yuji Itadori appeared in front of her and recognized her immediately. On the other hand, while Yuji's presence had been a surprise to her, the fact that he recognized her certainly wasn't. This is simply due to the fact that Yuji is a very perceptive character and, at the same time, not at all superficial.

Yuji had even mentioned his interest in her a long time ago when he was in school. For Yuji to immediately recognize Ozawa wasn't shocking at all. For Ozawa, however, this was a moment that agitated her. But, at the same time, she recognized that this was her chance to rekindle a relationship with Yuji after her high school days.

Since Yuji was there to settle old affairs after his grandfather's death, this was the perfect time to meet her often and build a strong relationship. The author skillfully uses the metaphor of liking snow here. At the beginning of the chapter, fans were able to see a flashback where both Yuji and Ozawa are seen looking at the snow. They both admit that they love the snow, and sharing this moment together definitely adds a special importance to it. In the epilogue, Ozawa asks Yuji if he still likes snow, to which he replies that he absolutely does. For Ozawa, this is essentially a big test, because he wants to see if Yuji still enjoys spending time with her, just like they did watching the snow as children, or not. Luckily for her, Yuji's response is positive and a positive relationship could be built between these two characters from here on out.

Did Yuji end up with Ozawa?

Yuji isn't dating JJK yet

At the end of JJK In the epilogue, fans didn't get to see much of Yuji and Ozawa, because there were other characters who took the spotlight. Yuji and Ozawa could only talk for a short period of time, and it is unclear what exactly happened to them after this conversation. Since Yuji had been there for quite some time, it's possible that they ended up talking a lot more and became closer to each other. But it remains to be seen whether Yuji and Ozawa later dated or not. Fans know nothing about this story development. It can be said that the relationship between Yuji and Ozawa was left ambiguous by the author, and this was probably done on purpose to keep them in suspense.

That said, the fact that Ozawa was reintroduced in the epilogue and that her feelings for Yuji were highlighted once again definitely gives more weight to the idea that they could have ended up together a few years later. Fans were given a 62-year time jump, but unfortunately no clues were given as to what happened with Yuji and Ozawa. It's entirely possible that they ended up getting married and having children and maybe even grandchildren. However, as of now, there is absolutely no confirmation. All fans can learn from the epilogue is that their relationship was brought back into focus and they developed it to some extent.

Whether they ended up dating or not is something that can't be said for sure. But what can be said is that the author certainly mentioned a lot of it, because otherwise the epilogue would be there serving absolutely no purpose.

The epilogue of Jujutsu Kaisen has been released with its final volume. The final volume of JJK will be released in Japan on December 25, 2024. The English version of the volume will be published in 2025.
