In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 260, spoilers revealed on Thursday hint at a dramatic return that has left fans buzzing with excitement. A mysterious silhouette stopped Sukuna from casting his Domain, leading to speculation that Gojo Satoru might be making a comeback.
However, a popular theory circulating on X (formerly Twitter) suggests that this figure could be Gojo’s ancestor, Michizane Sugawara, rather than Gojo himself.
The chapter’s conclusion, where Sukuna is interrupted, features a figure strikingly similar to Gojo, with the narration referring to “the Ghost of the Strongest.”
The Mysterious Silhouette Could Be a Member of Gojo’s Clan
This has naturally led many to believe in Gojo’s return. However, X user @ABHISHE56368211 posits that the silhouette could actually be Michizane Sugawara, a significant figure in Jujutsu Kaisen lore. Sugawara, a relative of both Gojo and Yuta Okkotsu, was one of the Big Three Vengeful Spirits, renowned for his formidable power.
The theory gains traction when considering Kenjaku’s ability to reincarnate ancient sorcerers, as seen throughout the Culling Games.
Given Sugawara’s historical importance and his status as a vengeful spirit, it is plausible that he could have been brought back. Moreover, the term “ghost” used by Sukuna in a previous battle with Hajime Kashimo to describe reincarnated entities supports this theory.

Sugawara’s role in the Heian Era, a time when the Big Three Vengeful Spirits terrorized humanity as powerful curses, further bolsters this idea.
Historically, these spirits were powerful enough to challenge even Sukuna. The speculation is that Sugawara might be targeting Sukuna now due to significant events unfolding, particularly Kenjaku’s plans for the Tengen-Humanity Merger, which Sukuna, possessing Megumi’s body, could initiate.
Additionally, the familial link between Sugawara and Gojo, who both possess the Six Eyes, suggests a deeper motivation. Sugawara might be driven by a combination of intrigue and vengeance after Sukuna killed Gojo, who was the first in 400 years to inherit both the Six Eyes and Limitless.
This theory adds a new layer of complexity to the narrative, suggesting that Michizane Sugawara’s return could dramatically alter the course of events.
If it is indeed Sugawara, his introduction would not only expand the lore but also present a formidable new challenge for Sukuna. Conversely, if Gojo is truly back, it implies that allies like Shoko Ieiri and Ui Ui played a crucial role in his revival.
Chapter 260 promises to be a pivotal moment in Jujutsu Kaisen, potentially resolving Sukuna’s fate and introducing unexpected twists in the storyline. Fans eagerly await the next developments, which will either confirm Gojo’s triumphant return or reveal the powerful presence of Michizane Sugawara.
