Jujutsu Kaisen Creator Finally Explains Gojo’s Shocking Loss

by

The manga series titled “Jujutsu Kaisen” concluded in September 2024, leaving several enigmas unsolved among them. For instance, the reason behind Gojo’s demise and his defeat at Sukuna’s hand due to a single attack remained unclear. The epic confrontation between these two powerful characters has been one of the most anticipated battles in recent memory, causing social media to buzz weekly with anticipation over their intense showdown. This fight was foreshadowed since the story’s inception, heightening fans’ excitement even further. Despite the thrilling weeks that followed, the ending sparked much debate and controversy among readers.

Many readers were disappointed that Gojo’s off-screen demise prevented them from witnessing his last moments and speculating about his reaction. This opened up numerous possibilities for Gojo resurrection theories for quite some time, but as excitement subsided, fans shifted their attention to the Sukuna raid. However, throughout the manga, we have yet to discover how Gojo succumbed to such an attack. Fortunately, the creator of Jujutsu Kaisen has finally spoken up about the debate surrounding Gojo’s death.

Jujustu Kaisen Creator Answers the Question About Gojo’s Death in an Ongoing Exhibition

A special “Jujutsu Kaisen” showcase is taking place in Osaka, Japan, from April 19th to June 9th. Previously, this exhibition was displayed in Tokyo, Japan from July 6th to August 27th of the previous year. The event offers a peek into the making of “Jujutsu Kaisen” and Akutami’s creative process using digital drawing techniques, complete with his insights. Additionally, there are Q&A sessions included. This edition unveils the truth about Gojo’s demise, as disclosed by Gege.

In simpler terms, after overcoming Mahoraga, Gojo assumed that Sukuna couldn’t get around his Infinity any longer. It seems to me that the typical Gojo would have noticed something was off and managed to dodge a deadly injury in such a situation.

Because the event is taking place in Japan, discussions about questions and answers are being handled using fan translations. The recent statement from Gege was posted by @Go_Jover, a trusted source on X who often shares updates about JJK and even sneak peeks of the manga. With Gege confirming that Gojo lost due to letting his guard down, it finally clears up all the speculation surrounding this remarkable fight.

On more than one occasion, Gojo has shown a lapse in vigilance at pivotal moments, and these slip-ups have significantly altered the narrative’s direction. For instance, during his high school years, he allowed Toji to launch an assault on him due to exhaustion from not sleeping for several consecutive days. This incident led to Riko’s demise, serving as a catalyst for Geto’s betrayal. Moreover, in the Shibuya Incident Arc, Gojo was outwitted by Kenjaku and found himself ensnared within the Prison Realm. The ensuing chaos resulted in a massive tragedy with thousands of casualties due to the rampant disaster curses and Sukuna’s freedom, as no one proved capable of restraining the villains.
