List of Jujutsu Kaisen Shinjuku Showdown Arc deaths
The Death of Gojo Satoru
As reported in the Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 236 spoilers and manga plot leaks, Gojo meets his end at the hands of Sukuna, the King of Curses. In the previous chapter, readers thought Gojo finally prevailed against Sukuna. However, Jujutsu Kaisen creator Gege Akutami turns the tables on the readers.
In Chapter 236, Sukuna uses Mahoraga’s adaptability against Gojo. The attack hits Gojo effectively and ends up cutting him in half. The leaks also mention Gojo talking to his dead friends in the first half of the chapter — every anime and manga fan knows a scene like this is never a good sign.
This might be one of the most shocking deaths in the whole series, especially since the story highlights Gojo’s character as “the strongest.” If Gojo could not defeat Sukuna and Gojo is considered “the strongest,” who will finish Sukuna off? This is definitely a major event in the manga that will come as a big surprise to fans, especially since Gojo is a fan favorite among the Jujutsu Kaisen community.
Jujutsu Kaisen Gojo death fan reaction
News of Gojo’s death has blown up all over social media, with fans having mixed reactions to it. Numerous fans can’t believe the news and are mourning the death of their favorite.
Some fans refuse to believe that Gojo is truly dead, especially since his head was not cut off. (In his fight with Toji Fushiguro, Gojo mentioned that Toji lost because he didn’t cut off Gojo’s head.) So, there is still the possibility that Shoko or Yuta can heal him.
Here are some of the fan reactions regarding Gojo’s death.
