This article contains spoilers from JJK chapter 266.

In the anime “Jujutsu Kaisen,” Gojo Satoru is a highly cherished character who has become the symbol of the entire series due to his growing popularity. However, Gojo isn’t just admired for his good looks; he’s recognized as the most powerful modern sorcerer, with abilities comparable to that of Sukuna. In the recent arc of “Jujutsu Kaisen,” fans were treated to a thrilling showdown between these two formidable figures, known as Shinjuku Showdown. Although this confrontation was breathtaking, it resulted in Gojo’s unfortunate demise, with Sukuna emerging victorious due to his superior strength.

Initially, it was tough for fans to swallow the idea that Gojo had perished, but as time passed (approaching a year), most fans have reluctantly accepted his death. However, this acceptance doesn’t mean the end for Gojo, as his body is still being used by another entity. This situation leads to an intriguing question about what will become of his remains as the series approaches its conclusion.

Gojo’s Death In Jujutsu Kaisen Shocked All Readers Around The World

Gojo Fell To Sukuna’s Dismantle

In a thrilling confrontation in Shinjuku, Gojo Satoru faced off against Sukuna in a long-awaited battle. Their encounter was predestined, as they had clashed at the start of the series. Initially, Gojo emerged victorious due to Sukuna not being fully powered up. However, in this final showdown, Sukuna had regained most of his fingers, reaching full strength, while Gojo was operating at the zenith of his abilities too. The battle was a spectacle for fans, demonstrating each character utilizing their peak skills.

From the very beginning, the battle between Gojo and Sukuna showed a close balance of power. At times, Sukuna seemed to take control and have an edge, while there were moments when Gojo made Sukuna struggle for the first time in ages, and yet, Gojo maintained a significant advantage. Had it not been for Sukuna’s use of the 10 Shadows Technique, the outcome could have gone either way. However, Mahoraga provided Sukuna with an opportunity to enhance his cursed technique and counteract Gojo’s Infinity. With this newfound ability, Sukuna managed to overpower it with his World Splitting Dismantle. This attack was immensely powerful, slicing through Goji’s infinity, and splitting his body into two pieces as well.

In JJK chapter 236, Gojo Satoru suffered an unexpected and incredibly powerful attack, leaving both him and the audience stunned. This chapter stands out as one of the most surprising in the entire series because it revealed events that no one could have predicted, especially not in such a dramatic fashion.

How Yuta Took Over Gojo’s Body And Fought Sukuna

Yuta Okkotsu Gained Access To Gojo’s Body

As a devoted fan, I must confess that when it seemed Gojo had met his end, a glimmer of hope sparked within us. Yet, most readers were swift to wave away this notion, considering a return for Gojo implausible. However, in an unexpected twist, fans witnessed Gojo’s presence on the battlefield resurface. His lifeless body was transported from Shinjuku, all thanks to Ui Ui’s remarkable technique. Later, our beloved character was miraculously mended by none other than Shoko. In a dramatic turn of events, Yuta employed this repaired vessel in his fierce battle against Sukuna – they had both been transported to the same location. With Yuta on the brink of death in his original body, he made a daring decision: to utilize the brain-hopping technique mastered from Kenjaku. This hidden ace up his sleeve allowed him to leap bodies and seize control over Gojo’s. In essence, Yuta was able to inhabit Gojo, extending his comrade’s life in an extraordinary manner.

It turns out that Yuta didn’t act impulsively in this case. He had previously consulted with Gojo about it and received his approval to use his body. Gojo mentioned that since he was already dead, it made no difference what actions Yuta took or did not take. Once Yuta had confirmation from him, he entered Gojo’s body. Thanks to the training he had completed before the Shinjuku Showdown began, when he swapped with Gojo, he developed some proficiency in using the Limitless technique.

Following the possession of Gojo’s body, Yuta reappeared on the battlefield with an unprecedented strength. Straightaway, he broadened his domain into the vast expanse of Unlimited Void. Sukuna confronted him using his own domain, creating a captivating spectacle, but neither emerged victorious. Despite unleashing the formidable Hollow Purple against Sukuna, Yuta’s inability to control it prevented him from producing a flawless Hollow Purple or posing a significant threat like Gojo did. Regrettably, his energy depleted, causing him to crumple to the ground, leaving fans eagerly waiting for his return.

What Is Next For Gojo’s Body In Jujutsu Kaisen?

It’s intriguing to speculate about the future state of Gojo’s body given his current condition in “Jujutsu Kaisen.” At present, he appears to be completely incapacitated. While Kenjaku’s technique has been deactivated, fans are left wondering if Yuta is slowly succumbing to death or if he will remain trapped within Gojo’s body forever. The fact that Gojo’s body is motionless doesn’t necessarily mean the latter scenario is true. In reality, it suggests that Yuta is likely to die a slow and painful death within this body, which sets the stage for potential complications ahead.

Beyond merely facing peril in his life, Yuta’s bond with Rika may become irrevocably broken. Yet, readers are aware that the author is averse to eliminating Yuta, especially at this juncture. If the storyline required Yuta’s demise, it would have likely occurred during or immediately after his battle against Sukuna. However, the author has opted not to end Yuta’s life, and he remains aware within Gojo’s body. This could imply that there may be a means to restore Yuta or bring him back to his original body. If such an outcome transpires, Gojo’s body would remain on the battlefield.

A fitting end to this tale could involve Gojo receiving a dignified burial at the hands of Yuji and Megumi once the war has ended and Sukuna is vanquished. Yet, there’s another possibility – they can hold out hope for his return. If he were to miraculously reappear, fans would undoubtedly rejoice as Gojo would once again be a formidable presence.
