Jujutsu Kaisen: The Destiny of the Major 3 Clans in JJK’s Conclusion

This article includes crucial spoilers from the epilogue of Jujutsu Kaisen.

Overview

The Zenin Clan faced a devastating fate, brought down by Maki Zenin’s extraordinary power and resolve.
The future lingered uncertain for the Kamo Clan following Kenjaku’s death, raising questions about its survival.
The Gojo Clan stands resilient under Yuta Okkotsu’s leadership but must navigate a precarious future after Gojo’s demise.

The Big Three Families of Jujutsu Kaisen

In the captivating narrative of Jujutsu Kaisen, the concept of the Big Three Families plays a pivotal role. Representing the top-tier sorcerers in Japan, these families wield considerable authority and influence within the Jujutsu Society and have produced some of the strongest sorcerers in the series. However, throughout the unfolding story, the fates of these clans have shifted dramatically, leaving fans both surprised and engaged.

The Fate of the Zenin Clan

Led by: Naobito Zenin
Current Status: Eradicated

Among the Big Three, the Zenin Clan suffered the most catastrophic downfall. Their demise was largely a consequence of Maki Zenin’s formidable strength and transformative journey. Initially, Maki aimed to reform the clan from within, but realized that its deeply entrenched beliefs were unlikely to change.

After awakening her true abilities—following her sister’s sacrifice—Maki chose to sever her connections and embarked on a path of destruction, liberating herself from the clan’s burdens. Her powers matched those of Toji and, potentially, even surpassed him. Though the clan itself is now extinct, remnants such as Maki and Megumi Zenin persist, indicating that the legacy, albeit diminished, still exists in some form.

Transformation of the Gojo and Kamo Clans

With the Zenin Clan’s extinction, attentions turned to the Gojo and Kamo Clans. Much remains obscure regarding the Kamo Clan, as the narrative offers little elaboration on their inner workings. Initially, Noritoshi Kamo was set to inherit the clan, but his narrative arc shifted, culminating in a loss of significance.

Kenjaku, the last known leader, met his end at the hands of Yuta Okkotsu, indicating a conclusive end for the Kamo Clan. However, the possibility of hidden survivors or undisclosed members remains, although their existence cannot be confirmed within the series’ storytelling.

The Gojo Clan’s Status

The Gojo Clan’s considerable strength was directly linked to Satoru Gojo, the most powerful sorcerer of his era. With his tragic demise during the Shinjuku Showdown Arc, the clan’s political influence was considerably weakened, leading many to speculate about its potential downfall.

However, the clan appears to have taken an unexpected path by 2035. Yuta Okkotsu, a direct disciple of Gojo, assumed leadership, confirming the clan’s existence well beyond the loss of its founder. By 2080, the clan remained intact, suggesting resilience amid adversity. Yuta’s future role and the fate of imaginary descendants remain uncertain, inviting upcoming explorations in the narrative.

Is There Any Future For The Big Three Families In JJK?

The Gojo Family’s Significance

With the Zenin and Kamo clans obliterated, the narrative future for the Big Three in Jujutsu Kaisen rests solely on the Gojo Clan. Potential developments could revolve around Yuta Okkotsu and his descendants, elevating the Gojo legacy within the story.

However, the author, Gege Akutami, has indicated that the narrative is concluded. While the Gojo Family holds potential for further exploration, its prominence appears diminished as the series reaches its final chapter.

The epilogue of Jujutsu Kaisen culminated with the release of the final volume, which became available in Japan on December 25, 2024, with an English translation set for 2025.
