Jujutsu Kaisen: Gege's Final Decision On Gojo's Revival, Explained

As a seasoned manga enthusiast with over two decades of reading under my belt, I must say, the intricacies and depth of Jujutsu Kaisen never cease to amaze me. The latest speculations surrounding our beloved characters have truly piqued my interest.

This article contains spoilers from Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 267.

As a devoted fan, I can confidently assert that Gojo Satoru stands as a pivotal figure in the captivating world of Jujutsu Kaisen. It’s no exaggeration to claim that he is essentially the embodiment of this franchise’s spirit. Gojo has garnered an unprecedented level of global admiration among fans, and it’s his unique personality, immense power, and unflappable composure that have won our hearts.

In essence, these two powerhouses are two faces of the same entity, leading inevitably to a showdown between them. In the narrative of Shinjuku Showdown, this long-awaited clash unfolded, and due to Sukuna’s massive boosts, facilitated by Megumi’s 10 Shadows Technique, it culminated in the apparent demise of Gojo Satoru, the current strongest sorcerer. Yet, despite Gojo’s seemingly final end, there lies a glimmer of potential for his resurrection, hinging largely on his upcoming confrontation with Yuji in JJK’s conclusion.

Gojo’s Death In Shinjuku Was A Major Shock To All Readers

  • Mahoraga Worked To Help Sukuna

The confrontation between Gojo and Sukuna started during the Culling Game Arc, after the former was released. After a break in the storyline, the Shinjuku Showdown arc unfolded, where Gojo engaged in an epic battle against Sukuna, the King of Curses. This long-awaited fight did not disappoint, offering intense action and unforeseen twists that are typical of this series. From heart-pumping action sequences to surprising moves by the sorcerers, this battle was a spectacle to behold. Gojo demonstrated his full potential in this fight, but Sukuna, enhanced by Mahoraga’s 10 Shadows Technique, also showed his might. Despite Gojo dominating much of the battle, Sukuna ultimately received significant assistance from Mahoraga at the end.

Due to Mahoraga’s participation in the battle, it was ultimately Gojo who met his defeat as his Infinity was circumvented through Sukuna mimicking the method used for adaptation. Sukuna expanded the target of his strike across the entire world, incorporating Infinity within this scope. By being able to bypass Infinity, Sukuna managed to cleave Gojo in two, effectively ending his life. The moment Gojo perished, spectators were treated to a raid against the Curse King, Sukuna. This assault saw characters like Yuji and Higuruma, along with other powerful sorcerers, joining forces one after another, gradually depleting Sukuna who was already in a weakened state. Yet, many fans remained focused on Gojo Satoru, expressing hope that he might reappear in the storyline at some point.

How Gojo And Yuji Are Deeply Linked

Yuji And Gojo Has Compelled The Author To Make Special Plans

Regarding Gojo’s return in Jujutsu Kaisen, it’s essential to remember that Gege has a clear vision for how the series will conclude. During Jump Festa 2019, he hinted at which characters might live or perish. Although he didn’t explicitly name the characters, he mentioned that from the main four – Gojo, Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara – there would be two possible outcomes. In one scenario, either one of these four characters will die while the remaining three survive at the end of Jujutsu Kaisen. Alternatively, three characters might perish, leaving only one survivor.

Originally, Gege, the author of JJK, had a particular ending in mind for the series. However, it’s important to note that plans can shift over time, especially considering it’s been five years since he first conceived this plan. Gege might have adjusted his plan significantly, but there’s no clear evidence to suggest that he did. In light of this, fans should base their expectations on the two endings that Gege has already provided. These endings imply that either a character survives or only one character meets their demise.

It appears Nobara has come back, while Megumi is still missing. This scenario discards the likelihood of each of the main four characters perishing once and only one surviving. Instead, in the conclusion of JJK, it seems that out of the original four characters, only three will live on.

It might initially seem as though Gojo is the one who perishes in Jujutsu Kaisen, while Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara endure. However, this is where things get intriguing. There’s a strong suggestion that Yuji could be the one to meet his end, and this is directly connected to Gojo’s return. The series has been subtly setting up Yuji’s demise as a possible finale, which explains why Gojo’s resurrection and Yuji’s death are so intertwined.

Yuji Vs Sukuna Will Wrap Up Yuji’s Domain

Gege Akutami is likely to shape Gojo’s return according to his plans for Yuji’s storyline. Currently, Yuji is engaged in a decisive battle against Sukuna, and he seems to have the upper hand. However, it’s important to remember that Sukuna isn’t easily defeated, so the fight isn’t over yet. Fans expect Yuji to eventually defeat him, but there’s uncertainty about whether Yuji will survive the confrontation as well.

If Yuji chooses to do so, his journey would complete its loop, which would undeniably make for a satisfying conclusion for this character. Just as Yuji Itadori and Sukuna being alive simultaneously implies that the curse cycle will never cease, Kenjaku pointed out. As long as Yuji is alive, the curse cycle persists, implying that both Yuji and Sukuna must perish together to ultimately shatter the cycle. This implication suggests a potential ending for Yuji, one where he may have to sacrifice his life at the series’ end. In such an event, it leaves room for speculation about Gojo’s return.

If Yuji perishes at the end of JJK, only Nobara and Megumi will be left alive. This opens up the possibility that a third character may reappear, and who else could it be but Gojo. His body has been meticulously mended and healed by Yuta using a reverse cursed technique. It’s plausible that Yuta removed Gojo from his own body using Jacob’s Ladder, allowing him to return to his original body. This would leave Gojo’s body empty. The story implies that the body is the soul and the soul is the body, as suggested by Kenjaku. Therefore, it’s likely that Gojo’s essence or soul is still within his physical form somewhere. This theory gains further credence when Geto starts to choke Kenjaku upon hearing Gojo’s voice. Fans might find traces of Gojo within his body, which could then resurrect and work towards creating a better world after Yuji makes the ultimate sacrifice.
