Summary

The series ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ remains highly popular, and one of its most memorable moments undoubtedly is the fight between Sukuna and Gojo, which continues to spark discussions even after more than 2 years. Recently, author Gege has disclosed fresh insights about this battle, focusing on how he decided to wrap it up.

Gojo And Sukuna Had A Phenomenal Battle

The Fight Remains To Be The Most Iconic Battle in the Jujutsu Kaisen Series

Without a doubt, the most memorable clash in Jujutsu Kaisen is undeniably the showdown between Satoru Gojo, the mightiest sorcerer of our time, and Ryomen Sukuna, the Curse King.

In the annals of manga lore, the highly anticipated showdown between Gojo and Sukuna stands as one of the most eagerly awaited battles ever, yet to be brought to animated life. This epic confrontation took place during the climactic arc of Jujutsu Kaisen, where these two formidable combatants engaged in a nail-bitingly close contest against each other.

Typically, Gojo held the advantage due to his Limitless power, while Sukuna could only respond using Mahoraga as a countermeasure. However, Mahoraga was eventually neutralized, leaving Sukuna seemingly unable to counter Gojo’s ultimate power – at least that’s what he believed.

Directly following Gojo’s defeat of Mahoraga, it was his momentary lapse in vigilance that ultimately cost him the battle, as has been disclosed by Gege Akutami at the latest JJK event, alongside numerous other intriguing details regarding their fight.

Due to Sukuna’s victory over Gojo, an attack was necessary from the surviving sorcerers to rebalance the situation. If not for Yuji’s connection to Sukuna as a previous host, they might have all been destroyed in this assault.

Gege Reveals The Anime Inspired The End of Gojo Vs Sukuna

Gege Was Inspired By A Discussion With The Director Shota Goshozono

The animated series “Jujutsu Kaisen” is derived from the comic book series written by Gege Akutami. At present, there have been two seasons released, and a third is currently in production. Occasionally, it’s not just the manga that influences the anime; sometimes, the product itself may inspire the original work.

Lately, there was a Jujutsu Kaisen event in Tokyo – specifically, an exhibition. This event featured information from the manga up to Volume 27 and creator Gege shared a lot of insights there. As I mentioned earlier, it provided context for some significant moments like Gojo versus Sukuna. Some revelations were well-liked by fans, while others didn’t get as much appreciation. Still, it was an enlightening experience to understand more about the thought process behind Gege’s creation of this epic battle scene.

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

In a simpler phrasing: Gege was inquired about the reason behind portraying Gojo’s death scene and subsequent flashback in Chapter 236 of the manga, specifically why he showed Gojo surrounded by his old companions like Geto, who appeared joyful.

In his own words, Gege admitted that the anime served as his inspiration for this particular scene, particularly a discussion he held with Shota Goshozono, the director of the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen. Gege shared concerns about effectively communicating his ideas to readers. The climax of the battle left most viewers satisfied, providing closure for Gojo’s storyline. However, some felt that Gojo’s death in that moment didn’t seem fitting, as they believed his character wasn’t fully resolved—especially since he had a clear advantage in the narrative right before his defeat.

Here’s what Gege was asked, and his answer, based on a transcript by Twitter user @lightningclare:

“Q: Why did Gege choose to depict chapter 236 this way?

I’ve had the privilege of overhearing some fascinating conversations between Gege and Director Goshozono, regarding the production of Jujutsu Kaisen anime season 2. It seems that the ongoing creative process is shaping both the existing narrative and the animated adaptation in a captivating interplay.

Gege pondered over his decision for quite some time. He was concerned if it would keep readers engaged, and if showing the entire battle in a straightforward manner would effectively communicate what he intended to share with them.
