After 8 Years, Jujutsu Kaisen Finally Completes Gojo Satoru’s Character

On May 1, 2026, Gege Akutami released Volume 3 of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo. This release was significant because it finished the Modulo story arc, which featured familiar characters like Yuji Itadori, Nobara Kugisaki, and Aoi Todo. The new volume also included some updates to the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, and surprisingly, it brought Gojo Satoru’s story arc to a satisfying conclusion after eight years of development.

I remember when Gojo first appeared – he was so determined to overhaul the entire world of Jujutsu Sorcerers and get rid of the old, corrupt leaders. He believed the next generation was the key, which is why he took the teaching job. It’s amazing to see that vision finally come to fruition, as revealed in the concluding volume of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo.

Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Volume 3 Release Fulfills Gojo’s Dream After 8 Years

Gojo Satoru was introduced early in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga in 2018, appearing in the second chapter to discuss Yuji Itadori’s fate. Over time, author Gege Akutami developed Gojo’s character beyond his initially cool exterior, revealing a kind heart and personal goals. Despite being incredibly powerful, Gojo deeply cared for others, as shown by his rescue of Yuta Okkotsu in the Jujutsu Kaisen prequel and his subsequent guidance of Yuji Itadori.

Gojo wanted to overhaul the entire world of Jujutsu Sorcerers. His goal wasn’t just to eliminate the corrupt leaders, but to nurture a new generation equipped to judge for themselves and truly fix the system, as he explained in Chapter 11 of Jujutsu Kaisen, “A Dream.” He believed raising a generation capable of independent thought was more effective than simply taking matters into his own hands.

I envision a complete overhaul of the current state of the magical world. While it would be simple to eliminate those in power, that wouldn’t solve the underlying problems – new leaders would just take their place. Simply killing the existing authorities wouldn’t inspire anyone to follow me. That’s why I’ve decided to focus on education instead. — Gojo Satoru, Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter #11

The third volume of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, released in Japan on May 1, 2026, reveals that Gojo’s vision has come true through Yuji Itadori. The latest volume shows the Jujutsu Society has been reformed, with power no longer held by corrupt leaders operating in secret. Instead, a council of Jujutsu sorcerers now makes all major decisions, as demonstrated by their handling of the battle against the Simurian warrior Dabura in Chapter 14 of the manga. This chapter was originally published in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #2 on December 8, 2025.

Ultimately, Gojo Satoru’s vision comes true at the conclusion of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo. When Yuji Itadori chooses to remove most cursed energy from humanity, he steps up to guide and protect the next generation—fulfilling Gojo’s desire to help people instead of sacrificing them.

How Yuji Itadori Became Gojo’s Perfect Successor And Carried His Legacy

Following the intense Shinjuku Showdown arc in Jujutsu Kaisen, Yuji Itadori began his journey to live up to Gojo’s legacy. He chose to continue Gojo’s work by training the next generation of sorcerers, a decision made clear in Chapter 271, which was published in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 41 on September 17, 2024.

Gojo Satoru told Yuji Itadori to find his own path and power, saying he’s already seen enough of his own. He has high hopes for Yuji’s future. (From Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 271)

The latest chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Volume 3 reveals that Yuji Itadori has lost sight of what’s important, even forgetting what he should be protecting. He seeks help from Nobara Kugisaki, hoping they can train the next generation of powerful sorcerers, as he’s chosen to eliminate most cursed energy.

I wanted to improve my life, but I ended up overlooking the most important things. — Yuji Itadori, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter #25

Yuji Itadori is bringing Gojo Satoru’s vision to life by mass-producing and training a new generation of sorcerers who share Gojo’s ideals. This effectively begins the creation of an army inspired by Gojo’s legacy. Yuji also intends to live for approximately 300 more years, a feat made possible by consuming the Death Paintings 4 through 9 during the time between the Culling Game and the Shinjuku Showdown arcs, as stated by the author, Gege Akutami.

After taking in the Cursed Wombs, he transformed into a being that was both cursed and human, dramatically slowing his aging process.

Because Yuji has survived for so long, he’s poised to create a strong group over the next three hundred years – a group dedicated to the ideals of Gojo Satoru. This new generation of sorcerers will proactively hunt down cursed spirits in Tokyo, even as cursed energy naturally decreases. They’ll focus on protecting the innocent and vulnerable, ensuring the tragedy that Gojo couldn’t prevent with Riko Amanai never happens again – and Yuji Itadori will make sure of it. Ultimately, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo cleverly linked Yuji and Gojo, helping Yuji finally understand what Gojo meant by encouraging him to find a different kind of power.

Gojo Satoru’s Influence Over The Modern Jujutsu World Is Unforgettable

Gojo Satoru is undoubtedly the most recognizable character in Jujutsu Kaisen, both among fans and within the story’s universe. His birth was a monumental event, as he was the first person in 400 years born with both the Limitless and Six Eyes techniques. Gojo played a crucial role in saving key characters like Yuta Okkotsu and Yuji Itadori, dramatically altering the course of events. He was instrumental in defeating Ryomen Sukuna during the Shinjuku Showdown – without his efforts up through chapter 236, victory would have been impossible. Ultimately, Gojo inspired a new generation of sorcerers and set the stage for a completely transformed world.

I want to nurture capable and intelligent allies, so I challenge my students by giving them difficult tasks. — Gojo Satoru, Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter #11

Gojo Satoru removed the old leadership from Jujutsu HQ, creating an opportunity for a new generation to rebuild the organization. Even decades later, he’s remembered as a legend who defeated incredibly powerful curses like Mahoraga, as shown in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 25 (released in Volume 3 on May 1, 2026). Yuji Itadori’s current efforts to form a new team of sorcerers are a direct result of Gojo’s teachings. Ultimately, Gojo is likely the most impactful character Gege Akutami has created in Jujutsu Kaisen.

Honestly, seeing how Yuji’s growth really helped shape this character was amazing! It totally completed his story arc, and I’m just thrilled with how it all came together. It felt so satisfying to see him fully realized!
