Gojo's death in Jujutsu Kaisen shocked all fans

• Gojo vs. Sukuna kept fans in suspense
• Gojo lost his life at the end of the battle

Gojo's death in JJK was absolutely massive and marked an abrupt end to his character arc. He was locked away in Shibuya and eventually returned as part of the culling game. After quite a bit of hard work from the wizards, Gojo was finally freed and immediately after, his battle against Sukuna began. About a month later, Gojo vs. Sukuna officially began, and this fight was what every fan of the story was waiting for. Gojo himself knew that he would one day fight Sukuna, and Sukuna promised that he would kill him sometime later right at the beginning of the series. The battle of the fittest started with Gojo vs. Sukuna and was absolutely amazing.

Fans loved this fight to bits and it showed readers the height of jujutsu sorcery. There were no other wizards like Gojo and Sukuna in JJK, and through them, KK showed how skilled wizards really can be and the ways in which jujutsu can be used. This part of the story was mind-blowing and left fans completely amazed, with chapters that kept them on the edge of their seats every week. Finally, this exciting battle came to an end and ended with the death and defeat of Gojo Satoru. Sukuna continued to fight the other wizards, but the climax of this arc died with Gojo.

In JJK Chapter 271, things were finally concluded and this happened a few chapters after Sukuna was defeated and finally killed by Yuji. JJK was thus successfully completed. However, fans were not entirely happy with the ending. Due to the many health issues the author faced, the ending of JJK was somewhat 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 will want to know more about in JJK's future, and one can only hope that a miniseries in the future will help.

Is there any chance Gojo will return?

Gojo's return depends on what JJK content fans get in the future

Naturally, fans want to know what the chances are of Gojo returning in some way, shape or form in the future. To answer this question, two things need to be addressed, and the first is incredibly important. First and foremost, JJK needs to move on so Gojo can return. The author of the story has not yet mentioned that he wants to continue the series. But that certainly doesn't mean there is no hope left JJK to continue in the future. What you can say is this JJK can no longer be continued as a permanent series. The main story has officially come to an end and it seems that Gege's intention in the future is to focus on his new work before tackling anything related to Jujutsu Kaisen. However, there is still potential for one-shots or mini-spin-offs.

For example, when Naruto came to an end, the author of the story was certainly working on a miniseries that focused on Sarada Uchiha and the mystery surrounding her parentage. He also made a one-shot that was recently released last year, and at the same time, fans also remember that Kishimoto made the movie “Boruto: Naruto the Movie” that fit into the canon. Just as Kishimoto did all of these things after the end of the main story, one can certainly imagine Gege doing the same, even if he has plans for another series. Therefore, JJK will no longer be continued as a long-running manga, but rather as a one-shot, a spin-off of a few chapters or as a film.

With this issue resolved, fans can now turn their attention to the subject of Gojo. At the end of the story it becomes clear that Gojo is finally dead. He will not return in the story if there is a sequel. The only way to return in a sequel is through a flashback at best. But fans don't know what kind of sequel, one-shot, or movie JJK will get, if any. Gojo can certainly return if the one-shot, movie, or spin-off series is actually set in the past. For example, fans might see something that takes place before the start of JJK. In this case, Gojo would definitely be present in the story and fans would have a chance to enjoy this character once again. It's also possible that in a series that deals with the future after the end of “Shinjuku Showdown,” a flashback can bring Gojo into focus, especially if the Gojo clan is the focus. Certainly there are ways to include Gojo in the story and fans could potentially see him return.

Jujutsu Kaisen's future after chapter 271

JJK still has a lot of potential

After JJK Chapter 271, the story certainly still has a future. Fans could either see a spin-off that focuses on the adult version of the characters, and in that case, perhaps Gojo can be integrated into the story through exciting flashbacks. One thing fans are dying to see is more light being shed on the Gojo Clan. This way, fans will definitely learn a lot more about Gojo's upbringing and the importance he had in the entire jujutsu world.

It is also possible for JJK to get a spin-off set in the past. For example, it would be absolutely incredible to see a one-shot or miniseries based around the Heian era. Of course, fans definitely won't get to see Gojo in this case, but perhaps his ancestor could make an exciting appearance. The possibilities for an exciting future for JJK are limitless and it all depends on what the author wants to do from now on.

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