Recently, a showcase for “Jujutsu Kaisen” was held, during which Gege Akutami, the author of the series, disclosed some intriguing details. However, fans have shown disappointment following a revelation made by the creator about Gojo’s death.

Given Gojo’s immense popularity in the series, his sudden death left many feeling that it was excessively contrived.

Jujutsu Kaisen Fans Upset With New Message From Gege

Gege Reveals Gojo Only Died Because He Wasn’t Paying Attention

The manga series “Jujutsu Kaisen” truly shone during its exceptional journey, particularly when the climactic arc unfolded and the epic battle between Gojo and Sukuna ensued. This confrontation was nothing short of breathtaking, undoubtedly the most intense one-on-one fight in the series. Despite the balance between the two combatants, in the end, Sukuna manipulated Megumi’s body to summon Mahoraga and bypass Gojo’s Infinity. Although Gojo seemed to have the advantage, he mysteriously perished in the subsequent chapter. This outcome left fans puzzled, as the attack that struck Gojo should have been effortlessly evaded. After all, Gojo possesses the Six Eyes, a power allowing him to easily detect cursed energy. The World Splitting Dismantle was also dodged when used on Kashimo, which further adds to the confusion surrounding Gojo’s death.

In a recent gathering for Jujutsu Kaisen in Tokyo, Japan, author Gege disclosed details about Gojo’s death and the primary cause of his defeat. Fans have been expressing their dismay since then. Gege explained that it was solely because Gojo momentarily took his attention off after believing he had defeated Sukuna, which allowed Sukuna’s attack to prove fatal. Here is the exact quote:

Gege stated: “The only reason Sukuna’s attack killed Gojo was because Gojo wasn’t focused anymore once he thought he’d vanquished Sukuna.

Immediately following his statement ‘This victory belongs to Gojo,’ a blow was landed on him. It seemed like he grew complacent after vanquishing Mahoraga. In that moment, it appeared as though Sukuna had no more means to resist Limitless, according to him.” – Translated by AI

It’s not hard to understand why fans are upset. One fan expressed, “Satoru Gojo deserved more, I’m sorry Akutami was your author,” while another stated, “If only he hadn’t disliked Gojo.” Many other fans echoed similar sentiments. In simpler terms, they felt that the main character didn’t get the ending he deserved due to the author’s apparent feelings towards him.

Indeed, supporters are dismayed as they feel that Gojo’s demise seemed overly contrived and could have been prevented with more vigilance. If Gojo had remained more attentive, he likely would have triumphed against Sukuna, leading to a joyful conclusion for all involved.

Instead, an effortless victory over Sukuna might not have provided a satisfying conclusion. Instead, it would have been more gratifying for the audience if Gojo’s defeat had a clearer reasoning behind it, rather than being purely due to luck on Sukuna’s part.

Even though some fans might be upset about Gojo’s demise in Jujutsu Kaisen, it’s crucial to remember not to direct any frustration towards the series creator, Gege Akutami. After all, this is his story, and given Gojo’s overwhelming power, he needed to be eliminated at some point to let other characters step into the spotlight, particularly Yuji.

“But no matter how many allies you have around you, when you die, you’ll be alone.” — Gojo Satoru

The Jujutsu Kaisen event remained captivating and offered a wealth of fresh insights beyond the reason for Gojo’s defeat. For instance, Gege disclosed the source of Megumi’s character inspiration and his initial ideas for Gojo Satoru. These additional details will undoubtedly add depth to the narrative.
