Will Gojo Satoru Return in Jujutsu Kaisen? Hope Remains for Fans

Approximately a year ago, Gojo Satoru met his unfortunate end, a fact that remains difficult for many fans to process. This is understandable, given that he is often hailed as the most overpowered anime character ever, who previously returned from death in Jujutsu Kaisen 0.

As the series approaches its finale with only two chapters remaining, fans are increasingly reluctant to believe that Gojo could truly be gone. In this article, we will delve into various fan theories that suggest Gojo may still return to the series.

How Did Gojo Die?

For those who need a refresher, Gojo’s death occurred during the intense confrontation with Sukuna at the start of the Shinjuku showdown arc, where multiple factors hindered Gojo’s chances against Sukuna.

Firstly, Sukuna had taken control of Megumi’s body, enabling him to utilize Mahogara, which was a significant advantage over Gojo. Additionally, Sukuna’s domain, Malevolent Shrine, featured a greater radius, overpowering Gojo’s domain and compromising its effectiveness.

Ultimately, these factors led to Gojo’s demise in a brutal moment where he was gruesomely split in two, a scene that remains vivid in the minds of fans.

Yuuta and Higuruma’s Survival

In a daring move, Yuuta possessed Gojo’s body, taking a considerable risk without assurance of survival once his technique ended. Fortunately for Yuuta, Rika intervened just in time to heal Yuuta’s original body while he was inhabiting Gojo’s form.

Initially believed dead after his battle with Sukuna, Higuruma’s survival was confirmed in the latest chapter, where he sustained only minor injuries. He remarked that had Sukuna been more serious, his fate would likely have been grim.

The revival of Gojo’s body is plausible given Yuuta’s actions, hinting that if Gojo’s soul remains intact, his return might not be out of the question.

The Mysterious Clock in Chapter 269

Recent chapters of Jujutsu Kaisen have drawn attention to a clock motif. Chapter 268 showcased a clock reading 1:58, while the subsequent chapter displayed the time as 2:21. Significantly, chapter 221 marked Gojo’s return from the Prison Realm.

This could potentially be a major hint from Gege Akutami, the author, and raises questions as to why clocks are emphasized in these recent developments.

Will Gojo Return?

The clock theory presents a compelling argument for Gojo’s possible return. Moreover, it’s noteworthy that Gojo has not been mentioned in discussions among characters reflecting on their battle with Sukuna, despite his significant contributions.

The absence of Gojo’s mention coupled with the clock symbolism might suggest that the author is hinting at his potential comeback. Yuuta’s complete healing of Gojo’s body further aligns the circumstances favorably for Gojo’s revival.

It is also critical to note that while this theory is enticing, it remains unconfirmed. Given Gege Akutami’s penchant for keeping fans on their toes, it’s wise to temper expectations regarding Gojo’s potential return, to avoid any further emotional turmoil.

When Will Chapter 270 Release?

Chapter 270 of Jujutsu Kaisen is slated for release on September 22nd. Fans can read this chapter on official platforms such as MangaPlus and Shonen Jump.
