Ever since I started following Jujutsu Kaisen, Satoru Gojo has been the one character who’s left an indelible mark on me. From day one, he’s been the heart and soul of this fantastic series, a fact that fans have quickly picked up on. Gojo’s charm is undeniable, and it’s only grown stronger as the story unfolds. He’s made quite an impact on me, and I can’t wait to see how his character develops further.

After JJK wrapped up, some fans may be curious about the ultimate outcome for Gojo.

Although Gojo’s ending wasn’t ideal, there were aspects that fans could still enjoy to some extent.

Gojo’a Death At The Hands Of Sukuna Shocked The Fans

Gojo Vs Sukuna Opened The Shinjuku Showdown
Gojo Lost His Life Vs Sukuna

In the final stages of the Culling Game Arc, Gojo was released and almost instantly, a highly anticipated showdown between him and Sukuna ensued. This battle, widely regarded as the most epic in the series, surpassed all expectations and no subsequent fight has come close to matching its grandeur. Even though numerous remarkable battles have occurred since then, none have approached the magnitude of Gojo vs Sukuna, a testament to author Gege’s enjoyment of this spectacular confrontation. The battle between Gojo and Sukuna was an awe-inspiring spectacle as these powerful sorcerers utilized their abilities to their full potential. Given their status as the strongest sorcerers of their respective times, the clash between Gojo and Sukuna was destined to be monumental. When these two sorcerers collided, conventional rules seemed irrelevant, underscoring the vastly different scale at which they functioned compared to ordinary beings.

Farewell, Gojo Satoru! I shall never forget you for as long as I live! – Sukuna

Despite being equally smashed and exchanging victories, it is clear they were evenly matched in their conflict. However, it should be noted that Gojo found himself at a significant disadvantage due to Sukuna’s ability to harness Megumi Fushiguro’s techniques as well. The 10 Shadows, when used to its full potential, could rival Gojo’s Limitless and Six Eyes at their zenith, according to the author’s earlier hints in the series. To complicate matters further, there was the Shrine to contend with, which made it more challenging for Gojo to fight as freely as he would against a single opponent.

In the manga “JJK,” chapter 236 saw Mahoraga, the most powerful Shikigami among the 10 Shadows, causing Gojo significant trouble, ultimately leading to his defeat. This situation allowed Sukuna to enhance his technique’s reach and slice through Gojo’s Infinity, resulting in Gojo’s death. Readers were taken aback by this plot twist despite Gojo being the clear frontrunner at that point in the narrative. Many found Gojo’s demise to be underwhelming and hard to comprehend at the time. However, fans believed that this was not the last we would see of Gojo and anticipated further developments in the storyline.

How Yuta Took Over Gojo’s Body

Yuta Copied Kenjaku’s Technique To Use Gojo’s Body

As Gojo Satoru fell in combat against Sukuna, the fight persisted. Meanwhile, UI Ui retrieved Gojo’s lifeless form and returned it to Shoko. The best effort was made to mend his body, but the battle wasn’t over yet for Gojo. This proved true when Yuta suffered defeat at the hands of Sukuna. Just like Gojo, he was cleaved in two. Yuta too was brought back to where Gojo lay, and on the brink of death, Yuta managed to transfer his consciousness into Gojo’s body, thanks to Kenjaku’s technique that he had mirrored. In essence, with Yuta using the reverse cursed technique at its peak and tapping into Gojo’s power, he gained control over Gojo’s body.

Following his return to the battlefield, Yuta once more confronted Sukuna in a fierce duel, utilizing his teacher’s physical form. This second bout between them was as thrilling as their first encounter, but it was shorter and less expansive. The combat erupted straight away with a domain clash between these two titans. In the end, Yuta emerged victorious while possessing Gojo’s body. To everyone’s surprise, Sukuna was hit by a Hollow Purple attack, an event that, under ordinary circumstances, would have resulted in his immediate demise at such a distance.

Haven’t we had enough of Gojo Satoru already? – Gojo

Unfortunately, since Yuta couldn’t command Gojo’s body effectively, Sukuna remained alive. Moreover, Gojo’s technique fizzled out within five minutes, causing Yuta to lose control over Gojo completely. After that, neither Gojo nor Yuta were involved in the battle against Sukuna. Instead, it was left for Yuji to vanquish the King of Curses, which he accomplished perfectly.

Following the end of the war, fans found themselves curious about the fates of Gojo and Yuta, considering they were both trapped in a state of suspension on multiple levels. In the final installment of Jjk, the author unveiled the solution to this mystery, which was undeniably intriguing.

Gojo’s Final Fate At The End Of JJK

Gojo Satoru Is Officially Dead

As a devoted JJK fan, I can’t help but share my excitement at the finale revelation: Yuta Okkotsu found his way back into his own body! It turned out that Rika had persistently employed reverse cursed techniques to mend Yuta’s body completely. Moreover, Rika sustained Yuta, who was temporarily inhabiting Gojo’s body, ensuring a seamless transfer of consciousness to his original body. Essentially, Rika served as a beacon, guiding Yuta back home, and the fans rejoiced at his return. Interestingly, Gojo’s healed body, thanks again to reverse cursed technique, seemed poised for a possible resurrection in our collective imagination.

Regrettably, contrary to expectation, Gojo’s return, which seemed highly plausible, did not feature in the series. In the closing chapters, neither Gojo himself nor his demise was given proper recognition by his pupils. There was no tribute paid to Gojo by either friends or students, and he didn’t even have a farewell ceremony. Given his significant role, it’s fair to say that Gojo’s exit was disappointingly anticlimactic, and the author seems to have fallen short in portraying him appropriately, despite fan efforts to justify this choice.

In the world of JJK, it’s fair to say that Gojo’s final outcome was undeniably one of the most disappointing conclusions any character experienced, causing quite a stir among fans. However, this shouldn’t overshadow the fact that Gojo remained a beloved figure. Fans adore the legendary Gojo Satoru, who held his ground as the strongest character while simultaneously being an electrifying and endearing presence, always prioritizing his students above all else. Despite the author falling short in fully capturing his essence, fans will remember him as Gojo Satoru, not just the strongest, but a multifaceted character that left a lasting impact.

At long last, the final chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, numbered as JJK 271, was published on September 29, 2024. Readers can now follow along with the series on the Manga Plus and Shonen Jump mobile apps.
