This article contains spoilers from Jujutsu Kaisen’s Epilogue.

Summary

  • Yuta Okkotsu gained total control over the Gojo family after Gojo Satoru’s death.
  • Yuta became the acting head of the Gojo clan by the year 2035, rising to a powerful position.
  • Yuta’s relation to Gojo and their common ancestor, Sugawara Michizane, played a key role in his succession.

As a die-hard fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, let me tell you about one character who has left an indelible mark on the story – none other than Yuta Okkotsu! His influence truly kicks into high gear following the momentous Shibuya incidents. Fans can’t help but be in awe of his prodigious power, which outstrips that of an overwhelming majority of characters within this enchanting series.

Despite initially having a significant role in “Jujutsu Kaisen”, fan appreciation for Yuta significantly grew as the story progressed, culminating in a major revelation at the end. In the Epilogue, which accompanied the final two volumes, creator Gege Akutami disclosed to readers that Yuta Okkotsu had assumed leadership of the Gojo family, following the demise of Gojo Satoru, effectively gaining full control over it in “Jujutsu Kaisen”.

Gojo’s Death And The Open Spot In The Gojo Clan

  • Satoru Led The Gojo Clan For A Long Time
  • Gojo’s Death Put The Future Of The Clan In Danger

In the world of JJK, it’s common knowledge among fans that Japan has three highly influential clans, each superior to any other household. These prominent families are the Gojo clan, the Kamo clan, and undeniably the Zenin clan. Tragically, the Zenin clan was annihilated by Maki Zenin in Jujutsu Kaisen, while Kenjaku dismantled the leadership of the Kamo family.

Concurrently, it’s common knowledge among followers that the Gojo family thrived unparalleled during the span of JJK, primarily due to a singular figure, Gojo Satoru. Born into this family, the world’s equilibrium was fundamentally altered. This transformation stemmed from his extraordinary gifts, dreams hardly dared to be dreamt about. Possessing the Limitless cursed technique and the power of the Six Eyes, Gojo was the first individual in 400 years to wield both abilities, rendering him exceptionally unique. Through tireless dedication, he ascended to become an extremely powerful sorcerer. Despite being the strongest in his time, fans are aware that Gojo ultimately fell short against Sukuna in Shinjuku, although their battles were remarkably even. Regrettably, Gojo paid the ultimate price for this defeat.

How Yuta Rose To The Position Of Gojo Clan Acting Head

Yuta Had Become The Head Of The Gojo Clan By 2035

After the Shinjuku Showdown, it’s clear that the Gojo family was in disarray. While Satoru’s parents and other family members are still alive, fans don’t know much about them. The Gojo clan suffered a significant loss of power in Shinjuku, which led to a weakening of their grip on the Jujutsu Society. However, by the year 2035, this control was regained.

In the final chapter of JJK, it’s officially revealed to fans that by the year 2035, Yuta has ascended to become the head of the Gojo family. To clarify, Yuta is currently holding the position as acting head of the Gojo family, which places him among the world’s most potent characters, not only in terms of physical strength but also from a political perspective.

The reason Yuta holds this position is straightforward: He is not only Gojo’s successor but also his apprentice, which made it inevitable for him to take over eventually. However, merely being close to Gojo doesn’t automatically grant Yuta the position. It’s more likely that their shared ancestry with Sugawara Michizane played a significant role in this decision. Sharing the same bloodline certainly simplified things, considering Yuta’s power, influence, and strong bond with Gojo.

At long last, the final chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, numbered as JJK 271, was published on September 29, 2024. Readers can enjoy the series through the Manga Plus and Shonen Jump mobile applications.
