Gojo Satoru's death in JJK

Gojo lost his life after being hit by a global meltdown

Gojo and Sukuna faced off in Shinjuku in a battle that lasted for several chapters. This battle was incredibly exciting from the very beginning, when Gojo unleashed a 200% Hollow Purple to announce his arrival on the battlefield, and Sukuna blocked it with his cursed energy-infused hands. From then on, this battle was fierce, with Gojo and Sukuna fighting incredibly well to counter each other's abilities. Fans witnessed several domain clashes between them, and eventually, both lost access to their powerful domains as well. After an incredible fight that could have gone either way, Sukuna came out on top by expanding the target of his technique to the entire world and bypassing Gojo's Infinity.

Goodbye, Gojo Satoru! I will never forget you as long as I live.

With this, he managed to sever Gojo's body and end the battle forever. Gojo's body was left there, and fans even got a flashback of this particular character meeting his former comrades in a plane of existence between life and death. There, it was strongly implied that Gojo had already died. However, the author certainly left room for his return.

Gege himself left clues throughout the story regarding Gojo's return. For example, the first clue was in the chapter where Gojo died. It was mentioned in the chapter that if an individual is satisfied with their life and happy with the way it is, they can choose to go south in the afterlife. However, if they decide to seek a younger version of themselves, they must head north. Although the chapter title itself was "Going South," fans knew that a character like Gojo would never be content with that.

Later, the author revealed more hints about Gojo's potential return. The biggest hint of all was that Ui Ui, using her cursed technique, moved Gojo's body and brought it back to Shoko. Fans know that Shoko is a master of the reverse curse technique, and this is exactly how Gojo could have been healed and sent back to the battlefield to finish the job he started and defeat the King of Curses, Sukuna.

Gojo returns in JJK Chapter 260

Gojo finally appeared in front of Sukuna again

In JJK In Chapter 260, fans witnessed an incredibly exciting battle between Yuji and Todo and Sukuna. Using the power of Boogie Woogie, Todo caused all sorts of trouble for Sukuna. He was surprised to learn that it's virtually impossible to adapt to Boogie Woogie's power, especially after he became stronger. Todo can essentially switch places up to 50 times per second, making this technique incredibly powerful. If that weren't enough, fans should also keep in mind that Boogie Woogie's range has been dramatically increased. Todo was able to save all the sorcerers inside the domain except Choso in the previous chapter by expanding the technique's range outside the domain. This is an incredibly large range for this cursed technique, and while it's not lethal, it's understandable how it could cause Sukuna so much trouble.

Sukuna saw… what his hands buried. The ghost of the strongest!

The ongoing exchange gave Yuji the opportunity to sink his claws deep into the Curse King's chest, and to do so, Sukuna sought to counterattack by opening his domain once more. Even though Sukuna had exhausted his cursed technique in the previous chapter, he acquired the ability to restore his burned-out cursed technique using Gojo's reverse cursed technique. As he prepared to open his domain once more, something distracted Sukuna. Looking to his left, he clearly saw a shadowy figure emerging from the smoke, and that figure was Gojo.

The narrator made it clear that the ghost of the strongest Sukuna buried alone has now returned. At the same time, the editor's comments mentioned that this individual possesses unmistakable eyes, and this is clearly a reference to Gojo's Six Eyes. Now, Gojo Satoru has returned to the battle, and fans are incredibly excited to see how his fight against Sukuna continues.

Gojo Vs Sukuna Looks Set to Continue in Jujutsu Kaisen

With Gojo Satoru's return now confirmed, fans know a second round of the battle is coming. Gojo isn't in the best shape and certainly isn't at his strongest, as he's reportedly just been healed, but he'll still pose a significant threat to Sukuna. Indeed, it will be incredibly exciting to see how Gojo approaches the battle from here on out. Meanwhile, Sukuna is already on his last legs. That said, fans should also keep in mind that Uraume pointed out that Sukuna becomes stronger when the flames of battle heat up. Sukuna may not be at his best, and Gojo's return to the battlefield could also push him beyond his limits, making for an exciting battle to come.

This time, however, Gojo will have Yuji by his side, as well as Todo. Together, the three of them can defeat the King of Curses and put an end to this incredibly long battle. It will certainly be worth it, and fans can be sure that Gojo will play a key role in defeating Sukuna and saving the remaining Sorcerers forever.

The next few chapters of Jujutsu Kaisen will likely be the most exciting of the entire Shinjuku Showdown arc, and fans can't wait to see how Gojo's return was possible and how it will impact the story going forward. For now, fans simply have to sit back and wait patiently to see how things unfold, and theorize while they do so, because that's the essence of reading any story, anyway.

Jujutsu Kaisen is available to read from Viz Media. The series can be read officially and for free by fans in Shonen Jump and Manga Plus application. The release date for the next chapter of JJK, Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 261, is set for May 26, 2024.
