Jujutsu Kaisen Settles All Our Gojo Theories With a Harsh Finale

As a longtime Jujutsu Kaisen fanatic with over a decade of investment in this manga, I can’t help but feel a deep sense of melancholy as I reflect on Gojo Satoru’s untimely demise in chapter 271.


Among fans of the series, “Jujutsu Kaisen,” there’s a particular fondness for coming up with theories. For quite some time now, the community has been generating numerous theories with input from the series creator, Gege Akutami. The storyline has been a breeding ground for speculation for years, and this has only intensified during the Shibuya Incident arc. This past week, the fervor surrounding these theories reached a peak as “Jujutsu Kaisen” prepared to release its final chapter. And today, in “Jujutsu Kaisen” chapter 271, some long-standing speculations about Gojo Satoru were finally clarified.

Over the weekend, the truth was revealed when Jujutsu Kaisen published its last chapter. In this parting scene, Akutami concluded the manga with a heartfelt 24-page goodbye. Fans had anticipated the ending to shed light on Gojo’s future, as numerous theories suggested he might not truly be deceased. However, it was confirmed that the Six Eyes user perished permanently during the Shinjuku Showdown arc.

It’s heartbreaking, but it seems like Gojo has vanished without much notice or recognition. To many, he was just a tool, a weapon, and not a person with dreams and aspirations. I can’t help but feel a pang of sadness thinking about his hopes that were overlooked by so many #jjk271 😥

How Did Gojo Fit Into the Jujutsu Kaisen Finale?

In the recently released chapter 271 of “Jujutsu Kaisen”, viewers had the opportunity to search for any hints of Gojo in the climactic scenes. Indeed, Gojo is present in the finale, thanks to a flashback sequence. During this flashback, we witness Gojo’s last words to Yuji before he departed for Shinjuku. He expressed his faith in Yuji and entrusted him with his dream. This selfless act gave Gojo the peace of mind needed to engage in battle without any regrets, and ensured that his aspirations would not be extinguished by the specter of death.

Absolutely, fans of Jujutsu Kaisen are well aware of the events that followed. Gojo gave his all against Sukuna, but alas, the King of Curses proved overwhelming. Gojo was tragically split in two by Sukuna, yet the Six Eyes’ influence persisted in the battle. Impressively, Yuta infiltrated Gojo’s lifeless body, mimicking Kenjaku’s body-snatching skill. This unexpected move dealt significant damage to Sukuna, ultimately weakening him enough for Yuji’s team to deliver the final blow.

It has been more than a year since Jujutsu Kaisen killed Gojo Satoru, and many thought the series would revive the sorcerer somehow. From a Binding Vow to a deus ex machina resurrection, Jujutsu Kaisen brought a slew of sorcerers back to life in its epilogue. Tons of theories surfaced about Gojo’s own revival, but Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 271 has silenced them with a harsh rebuttal.

Gojo Deserves Better Than What He Got

In simpler terms, The ending of the manga Jujutsu Kaisen is a small part of its overall conclusion, and fans have strong feelings about it. For years, the author has kept readers guessing with his story, and during that time, he emphasized how unpredictable his writing could be. The manga Jujutsu Kaisen had many ups and downs outside of its final intense arc. When the manga started its conclusion, many fans believed Gojo’s revival was justified, but the author took the story in a different direction instead.

As a dedicated Jujutsu Kaisen fan, it’s tough not to feel frustrated about Gojo’s demise. Despite his sometimes immature and flippant demeanor, we all rooted for the growth he displayed throughout his life. After years of being treated as a mere tool by jujutsu society, Gojo transformed it with his revolutionary ideas. Fans like me wished to see him enjoy the change he fought so hard to bring about. Unfortunately, Gojo’s death in Shinjuku was barely acknowledged, even in the epilogue intended to honor his sacrifice. Consequently, it’s no wonder that many readers believe Gojo didn’t get the ending he deserved.
