Why Jujutsu Kaisen May Need to Let Gojo Rest in Peace

As a long-time anime enthusiast with countless hours spent immersed in the vibrant world of Jujutsu Kaisen, I can’t help but feel a mix of emotions as we approach the manga’s final chapters. The impending demise of Satoru Gojo, the charismatic and powerful sorcerer, has left me both saddened and curious about what lies ahead for our beloved characters.


In just three more chapters, the manga “Jujutsu Kaisen” will conclude, and creator Gege Akutami is skillfully wrapping up the final battle while setting the stage for a heartwarming ending for the troubled sorcerers of this anime. Interestingly, the unforeseen occurred during Sukuna’s fight within Megumi – Satoru Gojo met his demise. In an unexpected turn of events, Yuta Okkotsu took control of Gojo’s body, allowing it to act on its own. As the series reaches its end, “Jujutsu Kaisen” faces a significant choice: whether to keep Gojo laid to rest.

In the anime and manga of Jujutsu Kaisen, Satoru Gojo consistently stands as the strongest character, with his vibrant personality captivating fans. This, along with his impressive strength, has made him the most beloved character among shonen series enthusiasts. Despite facing numerous challenges, Gojo continues to persevere. At present, in MAPPA’s adaptation, Gojo is held captive in the Prison Realm due to the Shibuya Incident Arc, but thankfully, his demise has not yet occurred in the television show.

Rest In Peace Gojo

Essentially, Gojo’s departure has effectively passed the lead role to Yuji Itadori in the anime, as he’s been forced to confront his inner darkness. Remarkably, Yuji handled this climactic fight with poise. Tragically, his brother Choso lost his life during the battle against Sukuna, but instead of faltering, Itadori found new reserves of strength within himself and even managed to establish his first domain expansion in the heat of battle.

In simpler terms, although Gojo may have concealed many powers, Yuji, Nobara, and Megumi – survivors from the series – have faced intense trials to prepare for upcoming chaos. Their teacher’s presence once provided them comfort, though they seem to be self-sufficient in times of hardship as they’ve shown remarkable growth. Despite Gojo appearing to have departed spiritually, there’s a chance his physical form could still be active.

Is Yuta Destined To Be Gojo?

Previously, it was noted that Yuta Okkotsu chose to transfer his consciousness into Gojo’s body in order to battle Sukuna. However, this move meant that Yuta would have a finite lifespan before ceasing to exist. In the last chapter, readers saw that Yuta might not actually die and instead remain permanently within his teacher’s form. This situation allows creator Gege Akutami to “have their cake and eat it too”, as Gojo remains deceased while Okkotsu controls his body, satisfying both sides of the story.

The impact of Gojo within Jujutsu Kaisen is undeniably significant, shaping the world, its heroes, and villains profoundly. Though Satoru’s absence will be felt, his time has passed, and it’s now up to a new breed of sorcerers to carry on his legacy and shape the future. Whether or not Jujutsu Kaisen continues with a sequel remains uncertain, but Gojo’s contributions have left an indelible mark on the anime world through the glimpses we’ve been given.
