In the latest chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, the long-awaited showdown between Yuta and Sukuna has begun, with Yuta now inhabiting Gojo’s body.
This unexpected turn of events has stirred up conflicting emotions among fans, as they grapple with the eerie disparity between the current “Gojo” and the beloved character they remember.
Following his victory over Kenjaku, Yuta absorbed the remains of his foe, acquiring his cursed technique. This enabled him to execute his backup plan: transferring his consciousness into Gojo’s lifeless body. While some sorcerers were aware of this contingency, Yuta himself harbored reservations about carrying it out.
Jujutsu Kaisen Spark Debate Among Fans about Yuta’s Battle in Gojo’s Body
The anticipation for Gojo’s return peaked in chapter 260, where a silhouette resembling him emerged. However, subtle differences soon became apparent, signaling that something was amiss.
Despite the outward appearance of Gojo’s body, Yuta’s demeanor and expressionless face, coupled with a less dynamic fighting style, made it clear that the iconic sorcerer was no longer in control.
it's strange, isn't it? I mean, it's not gojo but it's also gojo.

Fans have been vocal about their mixed feelings regarding Yuta’s possession of Gojo’s body. Many have noted the stark contrast between Yuta’s mannerisms and Gojo’s trademark confidence and charisma.
Some have even remarked that Yuta’s facial expressions don’t quite capture the essence of Gojo, leading to a sense of unease among readers.
The situation has drawn parallels to previous instances in the series, such as when Kenjaku inhabited Geto’s body, prompting reflections on the disconcerting nature of body-hopping.
Fans who have followed characters like Geto and Megumi, who were similarly possessed by Kenjaku and Sukuna respectively, find themselves experiencing a sense of déjà vu.
As fans eagerly await the release of chapter 262, set for June 9, 2024, it’s clear that this development will continue to spark discussion and debate within the Jujutsu Kaisen community.
With a two-week break following the chapter’s release, readers will have ample time to process the implications of Yuta’s takeover and speculate on the future of the series.
