In the latest developments of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 259, the return of Aoi Todo has sparked discussions among fans about his role as the true savior of Itadori Yuji, especially in contrast to the impact of Gojo Satoru.
While Gojo played a pivotal role in Itadori’s survival and introduction to the jujutsu world, Aoi’s influence and guidance have deeply shaped Itadori’s growth as a sorcerer.
The chapter begins with Choso sacrificing himself to protect Itadori from Sukuna’s Divine Flames, highlighting the bond between them as brothers.
Todo Returns to Save Yuji
Despite this loss, Itadori’s resolve wavers as he hesitates to confront Sukuna directly. However, Aoi’s timely arrival boosts Itadori’s confidence, revealing that Aoi still possesses his cursed technique, Boogie Woogie, despite losing an arm.
Aoi’s return signifies a potential turning point in the battle against Sukuna, especially with the King of Curses weakened and unable to fully activate his cursed technique. Fans speculate that the dynamic duo of Itadori and Aoi might have what it takes to outshine Sukuna in the final showdown.
While Gojo Satoru saved Itadori from execution and introduced him to the jujutsu society, Aoi’s impact on Itadori’s development runs deeper. They first bonded during the Kyoto Sister School Goodwill Event arc, with Aoi becoming a mentor figure to Itadori and teaching him the Black Flash technique, which later became a crucial aspect of Itadori’s combat prowess.
During the Shibuya arc, when Itadori faced despair after losing Nanami and Nobara, Aoi’s intervention provided the necessary encouragement for Itadori to continue his fight against cursed spirits. Aoi’s return now signifies his commitment to ensuring Itadori’s survival and victory against Sukuna.
In contrast to Gojo’s role as an initial savior, Aoi’s continuous mentorship and support have empowered Itadori to navigate the world of cursed sorcerers with confidence. Aoi’s teachings and encouragement have equipped Itadori with the skills and determination needed to confront formidable adversaries and fulfill his destiny.
Therefore, amidst the debate over who truly saved Itadori, many fans argue that Aoi Todo’s ongoing influence and guidance have been instrumental in shaping Itadori’s journey and defining his role as a powerful sorcerer within the Jujutsu Kaisen universe.
As the series progresses, Aoi’s significance may continue to resonate strongly in Itadori’s development and the ultimate outcome of his battles against formidable foes like Sukuna.
