This might be the worst news for Gojo fans to wake up to. In Chapter 236 of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, the unthinkable happened as Gojo Satoru, a character beloved by fans worldwide, met his end.
Though we’re aware that Gojo sensei isn’t the main character of Jujutsu Kaisen, the new chapter has still left fans dumbfounded and shocked. Gojo Satoru, the strongest, one of the series’ central and most powerful characters, meets a fate that only some saw coming.
For years, Gojo Satoru was the strongest, the one who couldn’t be defeated. With his unmatched sorcery skills and charismatic persona, he became the main character in the series. His battles were the stuff of legends, and his dedication to protecting his friends from curses were the few reasons why the fandom loved him more than anyone else.
But unfortunately, eras must come to an end, and Jujutsu Kaisen manga fans feel the pain of losing their favorite character before the anime-only fans. The strongest is defeated by the king of curses, Sukuna, giving fans a lot of heartbreak to deal with.

Gojo Satoru Dies in Chapter 236 of the Jujutsu Kaisen Manga
Yes, you read it correctly: Gojo Satoru is dead. In Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 236, a surprising twist in the long-standing battle between Gojo and Sukuna takes place. Contrary to earlier chapters where it appeared that Gojo had won, this installment reveals Sukuna as the ultimate winner.

The chapter commences with a flashback of Gojo’s interactions with Geto and Nanami, hinting at a sense of farewell. The burning question of who holds greater strength between Gojo and Sukuna is finally addressed. Gojo acknowledges Sukuna’s formidable power and admits that he hadn’t exerted his full abilities in their meeting.
Even without Megumi’s cursed technique, Gojo expresses uncertainty about defeating Sukuna. With Gojo’s severe injuries, which have now left his body split in half, his survival hinges on the strength of his Domain and his capacity to withstand Sukuna’s relentless assaults.
While Gojo has a history of defying the odds, this situation presents an unprecedented challenge even for him.
Gojo’s Death is Confirmed
The next double spread in the chapter reveals Gojo’s upper body lying on the floor, confirming his death. Surprisingly, Gojo appears satisfied with his fate. On the following page, Sukuna explains the recent events. He reveals that Mahoraga, the formidable opponent, possesses a unique adaptation ability.
When Mahoraga is struck, it gradually adapts to the attack, becoming more efficient with each blow.
Sukuna anticipated that Mahoraga could overcome Gojo’s Infinity technique. Mahoraga first adapted to Infinity and then altered its cursed energy to neutralize this formidable technique. When Mahoraga unleashed a devastating slash akin to Sukuna’s, it targeted not only Gojo but the entire space around them.
Meanwhile, Yuta and Maki prepare for an impending battle. Gojo’s lower body still stands as Sukuna explains that Infinity becomes irrelevant when dealing with the ability to cut through the entire world or space. Sukuna concludes with a hint of satisfaction, praising Gojo Satoru, saying, “Good job, Gojo Satoru. I will never forget about you,” while donning a smile.
As this explanation wraps up, the chapter concludes with a double spread featuring Kashimo entering the battle, and Sukuna utters the words, “Don’t let me down.” In a surprising twist, there’s no moment of grief for Gojo’s death, as the narrative shifts to Thunder God, HAJIME KASHIMO’s entrance.
It’s a chapter many foresaw but has still left them heartbroken. The end of the Gojo era has arrived, and we are more than upset about this revelation. But the story goes on, and we can’t wait to see what more heartwrenching moments the manga will bring.
