In the Jujutsu Kaisen series, Satoru Gojo has had numerous iconic moments, but one that stands out is when he boldly declared he would defeat Sukuna right after being unsealed.
This moment, captured in a manga panel, became widely ridiculed, especially following Gojo’s apparent death in chapter 236. Fans turned this panel into a meme, mocking Gojo’s overconfidence.
However, the recently released chapter 260 hints at a possible comeback for Gojo. If he does return, the infamous panel where he declared victory could end up being the biggest foreshadowing in the entire series.
Jujutsu Kaisen’s Most Mocked Gojo Panel
Gojo made his return in chapter 221, immediately seeking out Kenjaku to kill him and give his former friend a proper burial. Instead, he encountered Sukuna and challenged him to a fight on December 24. When Kenjaku questioned his confidence, Gojo declared he would win.
At the time, this moment was celebrated as one of Gojo’s greatest. However, his subsequent apparent death led to widespread ridicule of the panel, turning it into a well-known meme mocking his confidence.
Chapter 260 potentially shifts the narrative. At the chapter’s end, Sukuna sees a mysterious silhouette of a man he thought he had buried.

The narration refers to this figure as the departed spirit of ‘the Strongest,’ strongly implying it is Gojo. With Sukuna on his last legs, this vision might be a hallucination of his strongest opponent, a common trope in the animanga industry. Fans hope it signifies Gojo’s return.
If Gojo does come back, it would be a monumental moment in the manga industry. It would give new meaning to his “Nah, I’d Win” panel, suggesting he was right about his abilities. Should Gojo fight Sukuna in his weakened state, his victory would be likely, fulfilling his earlier declaration and dismissing the ridicule he faced.
This would not only mark Gojo’s greatest achievement but also represent the most significant foreshadowing in Jujutsu Kaisen. However, Gojo’s return could undermine the efforts of other characters who have fought against Sukuna, particularly Yuji Itadori, who is currently giving his all to defeat the King of Curses.
This has led to a division among fans, with some excited about the prospect of Gojo’s return and others concerned it might overshadow the contributions of other characters.
