Chapter 260 of manga Jujutsu Kaisen debut was probably one of the biggest surprises of the entire series. Not only do we get to see Aoi Todo return stronger than before and help Yuji corner Sukuna, but we also get a glimpse of Satoru Gojo in the chapter's finale, hinting at his return after dying at the hands of his enemies. Sukuna in Chapter 236.
However, there are quite a few theories surrounding his return since we don't even know if Gojo is really back or if Sukuna is hallucinating that he is the “strongest ghost” he killed. . A group of people even think that if Satoru Gojo returns, he might be weaker than before. Here's why.
Satoru Gojo may return weaker than before
Satoru Gojo's incredibly powerful technique allows him to use both the Six Eyes and the Infinite making him the strongest wizard of modern times. Some people think this might no longer be the case now that he returns, which would give him some much-needed character development in the series.
Some fans think that right before being cut in half by Sukuna, Gojo performed the Oath of Binding so that he could be resurrected in exchange for one of his Six Eyes. If that's the case then that means Gojo will be a weaker wizard than before, which could be a good thing for his character.
Gojo is someone so incredibly powerful that he surpasses all of his peers and this experience alienates him because he cannot depend on anyone else in battles. However, if he returns weaker than before, he can learn to fight against Sukuna in a group and help Yuji defeat the Cursed King. The fact that he was weaker also meant that his students would surpass him in strength, something he always wanted to see.
Satoru's return could also point towards Megumi's return
A long time ago in the Hidden Inventory Arc, Suguru Geto asked Gojo if he was the strongest because he was Satoru Gojo, or if he was Satoru Gojo because he was the strongest. We could also get a satisfactory answer to this question if Gojo goes back and realizes that his power comes from carrying Satoru Gojo and not the other way around.
However, one of the most important aspects of Satoru Gojo's return is the hopeful return of Megumi Fushiguro. Since Sukuna committed brutal acts of violence after taking over his body and using his powers, Fushiguro's soul was almost unresponsive to even Yuji. But if Gojo, whom Megumi loves and respects deeply, returns even after being killed by Sukuna, it could give the boy the motivation he needs to fight against the Cursed King.
Many people have previously theorized that Satoru Gojo could return without one of the Six Eyes and how that could change him into a wizard. However, this time, the stakes are quite high as Yuji and his gang are participating in the final battle against Sukuna Ryomen. Gojo's appearance at this point could be the push everyone needs to finally finish off Sukuna. Gege Akutami, who is famous for his unexpected twists, might do something crazy again in the next chapter.
