The recent developments in Jujutsu Kaisen, particularly with the release of chapter 261, have left fans of Satoru Gojo devastated. Since Gojo’s untimely death at the hands of Sukuna, fans have clung to the hope of his return, especially after hints in chapter 260 suggested a possible comeback.
However, chapter 261 delivered a harsh reality, revealing that Gojo’s body was being manipulated by Yuta Okkotsu to fight Sukuna, rather than Gojo himself making a triumphant return.
This twist has deeply divided the fanbase. Some appreciate the unexpected narrative turn, while others are outraged by the perceived disrespect towards Gojo’s character.
Jujutsu Kaisen Fans’ Disappointment with Gege Akutami
The chapter’s portrayal of Gojo as a mere weapon for the Jujutsu Society has been particularly upsetting for many fans, who feel it undermines his legacy and dehumanizes him even in death.
Fans’ frustrations are compounded by several factors. Firstly, Yuta’s battle using Gojo’s body against a weakened Sukuna could potentially diminish Gojo’s perceived strength if Yuta either outperforms him or fails despite the advantage.
If Yuta, enhanced with both his and Gojo’s abilities, loses to Sukuna, it could imply that Gojo was never truly a match for the King of Curses, even without Mahoraga. This scenario worries Gojo’s supporters, who fear it could retroactively lessen Gojo’s stature as a powerful sorcerer.
Secondly, there is concern that Yuta might be more effective in using Gojo’s powers than Gojo himself. This possibility, coupled with Yuta potentially retaining his own Cursed Technique, raises the stakes.
Fans are anxious that Yuta’s success, while fulfilling Gojo’s prophecy of his students surpassing him, would come at the cost of Gojo’s individual legacy, suggesting that neither Yuta nor Gojo could have defeated Sukuna alone.
Lastly, the manner in which Gojo is used posthumously has struck a nerve. Many fans are still grappling with his off-screen death and now face the unsettling reality of his body being used as a tool. This has led to feelings of betrayal, as fans perceive that Gege Akutami, the series creator, is not allowing Gojo to rest in peace.
The latest chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen has intensified the pain for Satoru Gojo’s fans. The controversial twist of Yuta controlling Gojo’s body against Sukuna has not only divided opinions but also raised significant concerns about Gojo’s legacy and the respect afforded to his character.
As the series progresses, it remains to be seen how these developments will be resolved and whether fans’ concerns will be addressed.
