Gojo's death in Jujutsu Kaisen shocked all fans

• Gojo vs Sukuna kept the fans on the edge of their seats
• Gojo lost his life at the end of the battle

Goya's death in JJK was absolutely massive and marked an abrupt end to his character arc. He was sealed in Shibuya and finally returned in Culling. After quite a lot of hard work by the wizards, Gojo was finally freed and his battle against Sukuna began right after. About a month later, Gojo versus Sukuna officially began and this was the fight every fan of the story had been waiting for. Gojo himself knew that one day he would end up fighting Sukuna, and he promised to kill him sometime later right at the beginning of the series. The clash of the strongest started with Gojo versus Sukuna and it was absolutely amazing.

Fans loved this battle to bits and it showcased the pinnacle of Jujutsu wizardry to readers. There was no other wizard in JJK like Gojo and Sukuna and it was through them that KK highlighted how skilled wizards could really be and how Jujutsu could be used. In this segment of the story, they were thrilled and fans were left absolutely amazed, chapters that kept them on the edge of their seats every week. In the end, this enthralling battle came to an end, ending in the death and defeat of Gojo Satoru. Sukuna continued to fight the other wizards, but the climax of that arc died with Gojo.

IN JJK chapter 271, things were closed permanently and that was a few chapters after Sukuna was defeated by Yuji and killed for good. This successfully concluded JJK. But fans weren't entirely satisfied with the ending they got. Due to the many health issues the author faced, JJK's ending was slightly rushed, and there are still many unanswered questions and mysteries that fans want to know the answer to. There are also many other characters that fans would like to learn more about in the future of JJK, and one can only hope that the miniseries will remedy this in the future.

Any chance of Gojo coming back?

The return of Gojo depends on what JJK content fans will get in the future

Of course, fans want to know the chances of Gojo returning in some way or form in the future. To answer this question, two things need to be resolved, and the first is incredibly important. First and foremost, JJK needs to continue for Gojo to come back. The author of the story has not yet mentioned that he wants to continue the series. But that certainly doesn't mean there's no hope JJK continue in the future. What can be said is that JJK can no longer continue as a long-running series. The main story is officially over, and it seems Gege's intention is to focus on his new job in the future before doing anything related to Jujutsu Kaisen. However, there is still potential for one-offs or mini spin-offs.

For example, when Naruto ended, the story writer was definitely working on a mini-series that focused on Sarada Uchiha and the mystery surrounding her origin. He also did a one-shot that came out as recently as last year, and at the same time fans also remember Kishimoto making a movie called Boruto: Naruto the Movie that fit into the canon. Just like Kishimoto did all these things after the main story ended, it's totally see Gege doing it even though he has plans for another series. As such, JJK will no longer continue as a long-running manga, but as a one-shot, a spin-off of several chapters, or a movie.

With this issue resolved, fans can now move on to the Gojo issue. At the end of the story, it is clear that Gojo is dead forever. If there is a sequel, he will not return to the story. The only way he can come back in the sequel is through a flashback at best. But fans don't know what, if any, sequel, one-shot or movie JJK will get. Gojo can certainly make a comeback if the one-shot, movie or spin-off series is actually set in the past. For example, fans could see something that took place before JJK started. In that case, Gojo would definitely be present in the story and fans would get a chance to enjoy the character once more. It is also possible that in a series that covers the future after the end of Shinjuku Showdown, Gojo can be targeted via flashback, especially if it is focused on the Gojo clan. Sure, there are ways to incorporate Gojo into the story, and fans could potentially see him make a return.

The Future of Jujutsu Kaisen after Chapter 271

JJK still has great potential

After JJK chapter 271, the story definitely has a future. Fans could either see a spin-off that focuses on the grown-up versions of the characters, in which case Gojo may be incorporated into the story via exciting flashbacks. One thing fans are desperate to see is more light shed on the Gojo Clan. This way, fans will definitely get to see a lot more about Gojo's upbringing and the weight he held in the Jujutsu world as a whole.

It is also possible for JJK get a spin-off set in the past. For example, a one-shot or mini-series about the Heian period would be absolutely incredible. Of course, fans won't get to see Gojo in that case, but perhaps his ancestor could be revealed in an exciting way. The possibilities for JJK's exciting future are endless, and it all depends on what the author wants to do from here on out.

The final chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, JJK 271, was finally released on September 29, 2024. Fans can read the series on Manga Plus and Shonen Jump apps.
