Who Killed Gojo? Why? And How Did Gojo Last?

Satoru Gojo, the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer in Jujutsu Kaisen, was once believed to be invincible. His immense power, especially his Six Eyes and Limitless Technique, made him an unparalleled force in the world of Jujutsu sorcery. However, in a shocking turn of events in the manga, Gojo is eventually sealed by a group of antagonists, but he doesn’t exactly die in the traditional sense. So, who "killed" Gojo, and why?

Let’s break it down:

Who Killed Gojo?

In Chapter 235 of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, Gojo is sealed rather than killed by a powerful combination of forces. The key individual responsible for sealing Gojo is Kenjaku, a cursed spirit who has been pulling strings behind the scenes. Kenjaku, who is also known as the villain controlling Suguru Geto's body, orchestrates a series of events to weaken and eventually seal Gojo away.

In addition to Kenjaku, Toji Fushiguro, a legendary sorcerer, plays an indirect yet significant role in Gojo’s sealing. Toji, who is an exceptional non-curse user with immense physical prowess, was crucial in Gojo’s downfall during the Shibuya Incident Arc.

Why Was Gojo Sealed?

The reason behind Gojo's sealing lies in the threat he posed to the balance of power in the Jujutsu world. Gojo was virtually untouchable, and his immense strength and unlimited cursed energy made him a stabilizing force that prevented curses and the forces of evil from achieving their ultimate goals.

However, the antagonist forces, especially Kenjaku and Cursed Spirits, saw Gojo’s power as an obstacle. If they were to achieve their goals of creating chaos and dominating the Jujutsu world, they needed to neutralize Gojo. His strength was simply too much of a threat.

Kenjaku's plan involved luring Gojo into a trap in the Shibuya Incident, where the conditions would be just right to seal him. Kenjaku and the cursed alliance, which included curses like Mahito and Jogo, managed to trap Gojo in a sealed space. This space, known as the Prison Realm, is an ancient and nearly indestructible object designed to seal powerful beings.

Gojo was trapped inside the Prison Realm during the Shibuya Incident, and for the time being, he is unable to break free. His sealing led to a significant power vacuum in the world of Jujutsu sorcery, which has severe consequences for the protagonists and the stability of the world.

How Did Gojo Last?

While Gojo was not killed in the traditional sense, his sealing was essentially a complete neutralization of his power. The Prison Realm is designed to imprison individuals without allowing them to escape or fight back. Even though Gojo is still alive in the Prison Realm, his body and mind are essentially locked away for an extended period.

During the time Gojo is sealed, the world of Jujutsu sorcery faces unprecedented chaos:

• Cursed spirits grow bolder without the threat of Gojo’s strength looming over them.
• Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro, among other Jujutsu Sorcerers, must navigate this unstable world and deal with increasing threats from curses.
• Kenjaku and other villains take advantage of Gojo’s absence, pushing forward their dark plans.

Gojo’s fate remains a central conflict in the series, as the Jujutsu sorcerers work to find a way to release him and restore balance. His sealing raises questions about the future of the Jujutsu world, especially as it becomes clear that Gojo is one of the only forces powerful enough to fight back against the cursed forces that now roam unchecked.

Gojo’s Return?

As of now, Gojo's return from the Prison Realm remains a mystery. Yuji Itadori and others are working to free him, but the process of doing so is fraught with danger.

Gojo’s potential return will be a turning point in the story, and it’s clear that his role in the series is far from over. His immense strength and dominance over cursed energy could very well determine the ultimate fate of the Jujutsu Kaisen world.

Conclusion:

Satoru Gojo, the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer, was sealed by Kenjaku and the cursed spirits in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe. His sealing is not a death, but a temporary neutralization of his powers that has had devastating consequences for the world. Gojo’s strength was simply too much of a threat to the cursed forces, and his absence creates a power vacuum that the antagonists are eager to exploit.

As for the future of Gojo, fans eagerly await his return from the Prison Realm and the inevitable clash that will decide the fate of the Jujutsu Kaisen universe.
