The Possible Culprits Behind Gojo’s Comeback in Jujutsu Kaisen, Explained

Ever since his supposed death in chapter 235 of Jujutsu Kaisen, there has been a lot of talk surrounding the beloved character Gojo Satoru and his second awakening. Fans of Sukuna and Gojo have constantly debated over the fate of the latter and whether he truly met his end at the hands of Sukuna. However, the release of chapter 260 spoilers gave a glimpse of what seems to be Gojo’s return.

Chapter 236 of Jujutsu Kaisen revealed many mysterious images and confirmed Gojo’s arrival in a limbo-esque realm where he reflected on his battles and experiences with Nanami, Geto, and Haibara. Spoilers for Chapter 260 hinted at the highly anticipated comeback of Satoru Gojo, which has long been speculated to be the culmination of various characters’ efforts.

It can be assumed that Shoko Ieiri played a crucial role in Gojo’s revival, given their strong bond. Despite her reputation as the top healer in the story’s universe, Shoko’s lack of significant onscreen appearances has led fans to speculate that she may have sacrificed herself or a part of herself in order to bring Gojo back to life.

Despite her lack of presence during the entire battle against Sukuna, it is possible that Shoko was occupied with attempting to revive or heal Gojo. This could explain her noticeable absence and the fact that she has not been prominently featured in the recent chapters.

2) UI

Ui Ui, out of the vast cast, had the most significant influence on the Sukuna battle among all Jujutsu Kaisen characters. Ever since chapter 235 of Jujutsu Kaisen, the sudden disappearance of Satoru Gojo has left everyone questioning.

The swapping of souls between Yuji and Kusakabe, along with other events, sparked numerous theories. However, it was eventually discovered that Ui Ui’s cursed technique was responsible for all of these occurrences, as it enabled him to successfully retrieve Gojo’s halves from Sukuna. In a way, Ui Ui’s ability played a crucial role in Gojo’s potential return (if spoilers turn out to be accurate).

Yuta Okkotsu

Yuta Okkotsu’s role in Gojo’s comeback was likely crucial, as he is one of the few characters in Jujutsu Kaisen besides Shoko who can utilize the Reverse Cursed Technique on others. Furthermore, his position as the second strongest sorcerer and possession of a large cursed energy reserve undoubtedly made him an integral part of Gojo’s return.

Kento Nanami

Upon Nanami Kento’s mention of the North and South analogy and his contentment in life, it is speculated that it may have influenced Gojo to fulfill his goal of grooming a generation of sorcerers who surpass him. Nanami was known for his nurturing nature, and his passing and sense of fulfillment may have played a role in Gojo’s rumored return.

5) Ghetto Mountain

Gojo’s return may have been motivated by the mere presence of Geto, as he aimed to prevent the situation sparked by Geto’s radical proposal to annihilate humanity from being exploited by individuals like Kenjaku and Sukuna. The fact that Kenjaku had possessed Geto’s body and Gojo’s inability to directly eliminate him could have also played a significant role in Gojo’s decision to come back.

Relationship between Toji and Megumi

Toji and Megumi may have played crucial roles in motivating Gojo’s supposed comeback, as Gojo had made an implicit promise to Toji. This promise involved Gojo becoming a parental figure to Megumi, and Gojo’s determination may have been fueled by Megumi’s current struggles. The fact that Sukuna possessed Megumi and Megumi’s willingness to sacrifice himself likely played a significant role in Gojo’s alleged resurgence.

Final Thoughts

Despite being teased in chapter 260, there is still no confirmation of Gojo’s return. It is highly likely that Sukuna is merely hallucinating about Gojo during his weakest moment.

The official release date for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 260 is May 19, 2024, and it can be read on Shueisha’s MANGAPlus platform. Fans are eagerly anticipating this release to confirm their theories about Gojo’s possible comeback.
