Gojo as a Villain: The Potential End of Jujutsu Kaisen

Although he is not the main protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen, Satoru Gojo is often regarded as the embodiment of Gege Akutami’s masterpiece. His incredible strength, carefree and humorous demeanor, and attractive appearance are just a few factors contributing to his widespread acclaim.

Despite his typically cheerful nature, Gojo is a deeply complex character who is haunted by his past failures and tragedies until the very end. Despite becoming the strongest sorcerer of his time, he was unable to protect the things that were most important to him.

Despite facing numerous tragedies in his life, he remained motivated to bring about change in the Jujutsu society without compromising his moral principles. This has led fans to speculate about the potential outcome of the series if the blindfolded sensei had succumbed to the dark side and forsaken his beliefs.

Exploring a Scenario where Satoru Gojo Becomes the Bane of Jujutsu Kaisen

Satoru Gojo, the most powerful sorcerer of his time, often found that his immense abilities were both a blessing and a curse. Despite having friends and allies, he still felt disconnected from them due to the significant difference in power.

At Jujutsu High, he crossed paths with Suguru Geto, whom he found a kindred spirit in due to their comparable strengths. Despite his efforts, Gojo was unable to prevent Geto from succumbing to darkness after the tragic loss of Riko Amanai. As a result, Gojo was forced to personally end Geto’s life.

Despite the numerous tragedies that Gojo experienced, it is remarkable that he never wavered from his morals. He consistently chose to follow the correct path in order to achieve his ultimate goal of creating a positive impact on the Jujutsu community.

Despite being surprising, it is not entirely unimaginable to envision how Gojo could have ended up if he had forsaken his morals and taken on the role of the main antagonist in Jujutsu Kaisen rather than Sukuna. In the present arc of the show, his goal is to foster capable and intelligent comrades who can match his strength and ultimately bring about a transformation in the Jujutsu world.

He is aware that he could easily accomplish his goal by personally eliminating the leaders of the Jujutsu society. However, he also understands that resorting to such extreme measures would not inspire anyone to follow him.

Nevertheless, if Gojo had a naturally wicked nature, his beliefs would align with Sukuna’s, as he would prioritize his own well-being above all else and disregard the needs of others.

In this hypothetical situation, the outcomes for Yuta and Yuji would be significantly different, as Gojo would not be present to rescue them from execution. Additionally, Megumi would likely have been forced to join the Zen’in clan, as Toji would still be alive in this scenario.

Despite his immense strength, no Jujutsu sorcerer would dare challenge him, let alone defeat him. He would effortlessly defeat any sorcerer who dared to oppose him and would most likely eradicate Jujutsu High if they ever crossed his path. This would result in the destruction of the Jujutsu Kaisen world, with very few survivors left to resist his oppressive rule.

Despite this, the sorcerers’ only chance of defeating a corrupted Gojo would be if Sukuna sided with the protagonists. In such a situation, Sukuna could collaborate with the sorcerers to come up with a plan to defeat the Blue-Eyed sorcerer.

Despite this, it is nearly impossible for fans to envision a world in which the King of Curses is inherently benevolent and actively supports the Jujutsu society. As a result, it can be inferred that the Jujutsu Kaisen universe would likely be in a much worse condition if Gojo were to be malevolent rather than Sukuna.
