Jujutsu Kaisen: The Impact of Satoru Gojo’s Defeat
Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the most popular manga series to have ever been published. Both its manga and anime adaptations have captivated fans with the intricate storyline crafted by Gege Akutami, which revolves around sorcerers and the cursed spirits they battle. Satoru Gojo, the strongest sorcerer in the world, is a character that has garnered significant attention and a devoted fanbase.
Despite his immense power and extraordinary abilities, Gojo was unable to defeat the cursed king, Sukuna. The shocking conclusion of Gojo’s arc left many manga fans reeling and sparked numerous theories regarding the implications of his defeat.
One theory suggests that Gojo’s death could be part of a larger, intelligent strategy that had been devised and shared on Twitter, indicating that his loss might be a deliberate step in a grand plan.
During the battle between Gojo and Sukuna, Gojo maintained the upper hand for most of the fight. However, in a surprising twist, Sukuna unleashed a powerful curse energy that ultimately led to Gojo being incapacitated. This marked the most significant defeat for the strongest sorcerer in the world.
The theory posits that:
- Gojo was ‘defeated’ in battle.
- Sukuna lost his guard.
- Yuji and Higuruma joined the fight.
According to this theory, Gojo intentionally allowed himself to be defeated to catch Sukuna off guard. Sukuna’s arrogance may have increased after defeating Satoru Gojo, which could be part of a clever strategy by Gojo and other sorcerers to make Sukuna underestimate them.
In the latest chapters of Jujutsu Kaisen, Yuji Itadori and Hiromi Higuruma enter the battlefield with the intention of confronting the cursed king. With his abilities, Higuruma could potentially hold the key to defeating Sukuna. In Higuruma’s domain, all violent actions are subjected to the law, and he assumes the role of both lawyer and judge.
This situation allows Higuruma to use his legal powers to prove the guilt of the opposing team against Thực Thần (the True God). If he successfully proves their guilt, Thực Thần will lose all cursed energy, aiding Higuruma in easily defeating him.
Gojo could have devised a plan to exploit this strategy from Higuruma’s domain, causing Sukuna to become trapped within it. Conversely, if Yuji eventually manages to control his cursed techniques, he could serve as the key to rescuing Megumi. There is a theory suggesting that Yuji’s cursed techniques would allow him to control his own will and significantly amplify his cursed energy by consuming a portion of a cursed spirit.
If the theories proposed by fans hold any truth, then Gojo’s defeat will serve as a compelling avenue for further developing the Jujutsu Kaisen narrative as it approaches its conclusion. Moreover, if Gojo had indeed laid the groundwork for this outcome, he might still have a chance to survive.
