The manga Jujutsu Kaisen is set to conclude in September 2024, leaving many unanswered questions. One of the pivotal mysteries revolves around the death of Satoru Gojo and the shocking defeat he faced against Sukuna, primarily due to a singular surprise attack. The battle between these two powerful characters is one of the most intense confrontations depicted in recent years, stirring significant public interest and debate due to the stakes involved in the fight between Gojo and Sukuna.
The intensity of the battle has resonated from the very beginning of the story, captivating fans even further. However, while the aftermath of the fight has left many feeling disheartened, the conclusion of this battle has sparked considerable controversy.
Many fans have expressed their disappointment over Gojo’s death and the lack of a significant showing from him in the climactic moments. This has led to numerous theories regarding the potential resurrection of Gojo in the coming weeks, but as time passes, fans have continued to engage in discussions and focus on the impending confrontation with Sukuna.
Throughout the manga, we have never truly found an explanation for why Gojo became a casualty in such a crucial battle. Now, the creator of Jujutsu Kaisen has finally broken the silence regarding the controversy surrounding Gojo’s death.
The Creator of Jujutsu Kaisen Addresses Gojo’s Death During a Current Exhibition
An official Jujutsu Kaisen exhibition is currently taking place in Osaka, Japan, from April 19 to June 9. A similar exhibition was previously held in Tokyo, Japan, from July 6 to August 27 last year. The exhibition provides insights into the creative process of JJK and the production methods used by Akutami to create the works, along with discussions by the author. Both exhibitions also include some special Q&A sessions. This time, Gege has revealed the factors leading to Gojo’s demise.
The author explained: “After battling Mahoraga, Gojo realized that there was no way to overcome his own limitless abilities. I think Gojo was emotionally affected by something that was unstable and could potentially lead to his downfall.”
As the exhibition is being held in Japan, questions and answers are being discussed with attendees. The latest statement from Gege has been shared by @Go_Jover, a reliable account on X, known for sharing various updates about JJK and additional details about the manga. Gege confirmed that Gojo lost solely because he had let his guard down, ultimately leading to the exposure of his vulnerabilities during this grand battle.
Gojo’s lapse in vigilance during the most critical moments has occurred several times prior to this, and the mistakes he made have altered the progression of the story. During his middle school years, he allowed Toji to invade his defenses while he was sleep-deprived. This led to the death of Riko, and the tragic aftermath became a significant turning point in the story involving Geto.
In the Shibuya Incident arc, he was caught in Kenjaku’s trap and fell victim to a binding vow within the Shinigami realm. This situation resulted in the most devastating calamity, with thousands of deaths due to the curse, while Sukuna wreaked havoc in a manner that no one could predict.
