This article includes spoilers for the manga “Jujutsu Kaisen”. Reader discretion is advised.

After hints were given in Chapter 260 that Satoru Gojo would finally be back in “Jujutsu Kaisen”, fans were more than excited to know the developments of the next chapter. As we well know, there is no need to wait until the official publication of the chapter, scheduled for next Monday in Japan, since leakers are responsible for leaking the full chapter several days before its publication.

On more than one occasion we have explained how they manage to obtain the material before its publication, and that is that in the desire for the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine to be published on the same day throughout Japan, the publisher Shueisha sends the magazine batches several days in advance. Thus, leakers have access to these batches directly or through someone responsible in the bookstores, and obtain unpublished photographs of the next chapters.

And that's how we get to chapter 261 of "Jujutsu Kaisen", which continued to be in fashion because, in theory, Satoru Gojo is back, but not exactly as you expected. The chapter begins with Yuuji Itadori continuing his fight against the King of Curses, Sukuna, and determined to destroy his heart with his own hands. But Sukuna freezes when, before his eyes, he sees Satoru Gojo standing on the battlefield again.

But when Sukuna takes a closer look at the situation, he realizes that it is Yuta Okkotsu occupying his master's body. It turns out that in a flashback we are shown that RIka, Yuta's curse, devoured Kenjaku's body and by doing so, Yuta was finally able to copy his cursed body swapping technique.

This was all part of a much larger plan that they would resort to if all the sorcerers were defeated by Sukuna. Even Satoru Gojo himself approved of the idea, as he cared little about what happened to his body after his death. Although it was proposed that Yuta copy Satoru Gojo's cursed technique, he was told that this would be impossible due to the requirements he must fulfill as a sorcerer, specifically those of the Gojo Clan.

Even so, the plan doesn't seem perfect, as Yuta can only use the Cursed Copy Technique for five minutes. If you exceed the time limit there is a possibility that you will die or even remain inside Satoru Gojo's body forever.

After recomposing his master's body, Yuta successfully completes the body swap and finally ends the flashback. Both Gojo/Yuta and Sukuna activate their domains at the same time, and fans finally have Gojo's Boundless Void before their eyes again.

The dream of seeing Satoru Gojo again has certainly come true, but this is clearly quite different from what “Jujutsu Kaisen” fans were expecting.:

• «This type of scar on the head is unmistakable».
• «Sorry to say, but Yuta Okkotsu cannot become the next Satoru Gojo».
• «Yuta, like Gojo, doesn't look good visually speaking, he has a more stoic personality.».
• «I was so scared for a second thinking it was Kenjaku's doing.».
• «You can tell that even though it's Gojo's body, Gege designed it to look more like Yuta.».
• «If it had been Kenjaku, maybe things would have been more interesting.».
• «I can literally see Yuta's face on Gojo's body.».
• «Why do I think he looks sexier now than when he was alive?».
• «Well yes, we have Satoru Gojo back, but at what price?».
• «I was really hoping Gojo would come back to say goodbye to his students, but this is kind of disappointing.».
• «The worst panel in the entire manga, without a doubt.».
• «Now that I look at him better, he doesn't really look like Satoru Gojo, but a completely different person.».
