Considering the ambiguity surrounding Gojo’s defeat by Sukuna, it’s clear that some details are still missing.

The “Jujutsu Kaisen” community was palpable, with many people using the hashtag “ GegeWhenICatchYou. ” This hashtag along with “ Gojo ” and “ Jujutsu Kaisen ” began trending on Twitter.
After Akutami’s online comments, the fan community’s reaction became increasingly harsh. Here’s what some fans had to say about the situation:
From the fan backlash on Twitter, it’s clear that many people are extremely upset.
Gojo Satoru holds a special place in the hearts of “Jujutsu Kaisen” enthusiasts. Some people claim that he is even more beloved than the series’ main character, Yuji Itadori.
So the decision to kill off such an important character left many fans reeling.
However, there is a segment of fans who believe that Gojo’s sacrifice could be a strategic move, paving the way for Yuji Itadori’s character’s storyline to develop and deepen.
However, it may be too early to mourn the loss of Gojo. Several fan theories are circulating, suggesting potential avenues for Gojo’s return to the series.
