Jujutsu Kaisen: Will Satoru Gojo make a comeback in the manga?

Will Satoru Gojo make a comeback in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga? The most recent spoilers have caused excitement and theories among readers — but is there any validity to them?

Despite the ongoing wait for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3, fans remain focused on the potential return of Gojo. His demise occurred during the Shinjuku Showdown Arc, where he faced off against Sukuna and ultimately lost, despite his earlier confidence in victory.

Despite being killed off-screen, Gojo also disclosed that Sukuna had been holding back during their entire battle. While the story quickly progresses with other sorcerers engaging the King of Curses, fans remained optimistic that Gojo may one day be revived.

Despite the slow conclusion of the battle against the strongest, the latest spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 260 have left everyone shocked with an unexpected plot twist.

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 260

Based on the leaked information of Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 260, it appears that Sukuna catches sight of Gojo’s figure.

Throughout the chapter, the focus remains on Yuji and Todo engaged in combat against Sukuna. Additionally, we gain further insight into Todo’s abilities and his progress during this period. Despite Sukuna’s significant weakening, he is ultimately outwitted by Todo.

Yuji seizes an opening to strike Sukuna with a Black Flash, inflicting damage on him from his chest. Sukuna then attempts to expand his domain once more, but is interrupted as he catches sight of Gojo’s silhouette standing and observing him.

Despite his loss in the first round, he stands in a similar manner to how he did against Toji. The chapter concludes with a shocking cliffhanger, and the editor’s note declares, “Those eyes are undeniably familiar.”

Will Gojo return in the Jujutsu Kaisen Manga?

Despite Chapter 260 of Jujutsu Kaisen, it is still uncertain if Gojo will make a comeback.

Despite his immense strength, Gojo’s death was inevitable when he was cut in half. After his passing, his body was brought to Shoko by Ui Ui and Kirara, offering a glimmer of hope to fans for his potential return. However, the Reverse Cursed Technique is unable to resurrect the deceased.

The mangaka has the ability to continuously introduce innovative techniques or methods for resurrection. However, such elements have not yet been featured in the series.

The King of Curses has faced off against nearly all of the main characters, including formidable sorcerers such as Gojo, Yuta, Higuruma, and Yuji. Moreover, he has been consistently utilizing Binding Vows, which requires him to make sacrifices in order to obtain such immense power.

Therefore, even with the regained power from Black Flash, the King of Curses remains significantly weaker than before. Additionally, Yuji’s actions have prevented Sukuna from fully restoring his Reverse Cursed Technique output. This suggests that Sukuna may recall his previous battles with his strongest opponent when he is on the brink of death. However, the confirmation of this will only come in Chapter 261.

Will Jujutsu Kaisen Reveal the Truth Behind Gojo’s Off-Screen Death?

Despite not witnessing his death, fans have generated numerous theories about Gojo’s potential return.

Despite Gojo being off-screened, his death still felt underwhelming. However, Sukuna’s recollection of Gojo during such a crucial moment presents a great chance to uncover the events that transpired.

Despite Gojo’s inability to see them, Sukuna’s slashes were incredibly fast. However, Jujutsu Kaisen’s decision to off-screen such a beloved character allows for the possibility of further explanation. Based on what has been shown, Gege chose to skip a training arc and instead dove directly into a gripping battle, resulting in a unique and captivating plotline.

As the fights continue, he gradually pieces together the sorcerer’s plans through flashbacks. The consistent plot twists have been captivating thus far, leading me to believe that Gege Akutami will not leave the sudden death of a beloved character unaddressed.

Gojo’s return: Possible or Impossible?

It is highly unlikely for Gojo to physically return. Sukuna likely mistook a ghost or hallucination for his presence.

Despite the off-screen death, Gojo’s ending was logical. Taking place in limbo, the airport scene sees Gojo opening up to Geto and the others, admitting his vulnerability to Sukuna and acknowledging that he had enjoyed the journey.

Despite being at the peak of the Jujutsu world, Gojo often felt misunderstood by those around him. He professed his love for everyone and claimed not to feel lonely anymore, yet he still kept a distance from others.

Gojo stated that he put forth his best effort because he wanted Sukuna to understand the joy he felt. In Chapter 236, there is a brief panel that states, “The most powerful being. The emptiness that comes after. The one who will show you the meaning of love is…”

Despite his efforts, Gojo was unable to reach Sukuna and express his satisfaction after their intense battle. While he did regret not having Geto there to support him before the fight, Gojo was content with the way he ultimately passed away. Therefore, it would be unjust for him to suddenly reappear after making such final statements. Furthermore, in Chapter 260, Gojo is referred to as a “ghost,”suggesting that Sukuna may just be seeing things.

Sukuna’s Fate: Will Yuji’s Final Attack Prove Fatal?

Despite being on the brink of death, Sukuna has the ability to survive by utilizing Binding Vows or triggering the merger.

Despite the weakening of the barrier between them, Megumi remains under Sukuna’s control. This raises uncertainty about whether Yuji will choose to save Megumi or kill him first.

Furthermore, it is important to note that Shinjuku Showdown is not the concluding arc of the manga, as the merger is highly probable. Despite Kenjaku’s defeat, Sukuna remains the sole main antagonist in the series. Rather than succumbing to the sorcerers’ desires, it is highly probable that he will surprise them with an unexpected move.

The merger is expected to take place following the Shinjuku Showdown Arc. Regardless, the sorcerers are still faced with a lengthy battle ahead.

We will provide the latest updates on Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 261 once spoilers are made available.
