Significant details about Gojo’s character, including Gege’s initial ideas for him, have been disclosed.

Gege Reveals His Original Plans For Gojo’s Ending

Gojo Dying Was Planned From The Start

Enthusiasts of “Jujutsu Kaisen” had been anxiously anticipating the latest “JJK” event in Tokyo, Japan, and it took place just two days ago. During this event, Gege unveiled some intriguing details about the concluding storyline. As previously announced, Gege Akutami, the author of the series, delivered on his promise of a Q&A session, and it certainly lived up to expectations. The majority of the questions addressed were quite engaging. Particularly noteworthy was the emphasis placed on the character of Gojo Satoru, who is undeniably the most beloved character in the series.

One captivating aspect of discussion revolves around Gege Akutami’s initial intentions for the character arc of Gojo Satoru, particularly regarding his sudden demise at the story’s end. It appears that Gojo’s eventual fate – his death – was part of Akutami’s early plans, indicating that the decision to kill off Gojo had been made well in advance.

Furthermore, Gege has mentioned previously that he had planned two possible outcomes for the series’ conclusion: either one of the main four characters would meet their demise, or just a single character would be left standing. This suggests that it was always intended for Gojo to be the one to perish, even in the event where only one survivor remained. In other words, Gojo’s fate seemed predetermined regardless of the outcome.

“In all the heavens and the earth, I alone am the Honored One” — Gojo Satoru

It’s undeniably disheartening for fans of Gojo, as it implies that a joyful conclusion for him was never in Gege’s plan since the onset of the series. However, it’s also logical, given that Gojo is so powerful that his continued presence in the story would require his eventual departure, one way or another.

Apart from that point, fans are equally upset about how Gojo met his end, and they felt frustrated when it was disclosed during the same occasion that the sole cause of Gojo’s demise at Sukuna’s hands was his momentary lapse in vigilance. In essence, his death could have been avoided.

Gege Also Reveals His Original Plans For Megumi and Sukuna

Sukuna Targeting Megumi was Preplanned

Besides Gojo, it’s worth noting that Gege shared a wealth of intriguing details about Sukuna and Megumi. It’s common knowledge that Sukuna possessed Megumi’s body, thereby leaving Yuji and granting him the means to defeat Gojo because he could now utilize Mahoraga since it was connected to his new host.

Megumi Fushiguro explains that she didn’t envision living an ordinary life, as the world is populated by countless other individuals. Instead, she now feels compelled to live for others.

It was predetermined for Sukuna to inhabit Megumi’s body, a fact that didn’t shock fans much since Megumi served as the main character and Sukuna’s host in the initial JJK draft.
