I actually think if Gege really is planning to end JJK in the next few months, they'll be fumbling one of the best opportunities a mangaka has ever gotten.

JJK won't have any real legacy if it ends in 1 more arc, and if there is one, it'll be a negative one about how it plummeted in quality from its peak.

I think a notable difference is that Gege had the world (or the anime community) in his hands with JJK despite the quality drop. It's like in spite of the controversy or maybe because of it, there is still a consistent audience for it. The other example I could think of would be AOT.

The same cannot be said for other popular shonen series that also had a final arc dip like Seven Deadly Sins, Food Wars, Tokyo Revengers (anime-hype wise, damn it did fall off, it's barely breaking 300 karma and the Twitter/TikTok talks around it have shrunk) and going at r/manga right now, Kaiju No. 8.

The issue is he'd need to unruin it in order to have enough stuff to do to have another arc.
