After 2 Years, Jujutsu Kaisen Finally Confirms Gojo's True Fate

Warning! This article contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo's Ending

It seems Satoru Gojo didn't meet such a tragic fate after all, following a new revelation that drastically changed the perspective on his ending in Jujutsu Kaisen's story. Manga readers said goodbye to Gojo in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter #236, where the strongest sorcerer died fighting Ryomen Sukuna. However, Jujutsu Kaisen's sequel just confirmed that Gojo's death wasn't as absolute as fans thought.

Many fans found solace in the fact that most of Jujutsu Kaisen's characters seemed to have a happy ending thanks to Gojo's sacrifice. However, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo showed that the passage of time wasn't kind to characters like Yuji Itadori. Even so, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo's ending confirmed Satoru Gojo's heartwarming legacy, which goes far beyond being remembered as "the strongest."

While it was revealed in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter #1 that Gojo and Yuji are known as the extraordinary sorcerers who stopped the Culling Game, the spin-off's ending confirmed that the Six-eyes user went from being a protective weapon of the sorcerer society to being a hero recognized by all.

Satoru Gojo’s Legacy Lives on in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo

In a panel from Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo chapter #25, a streamer comments on Mahoraga's battle against Dabura in Tokyo, which was recorded by Ui Ui's crows. The streamer refers to Mahoraga as "the demon that Satoru Gojo supposedly destroyed" and includes a screenshot from the Shibuya battle, since the footage has been uploaded and removed from the web multiple times.

While it was known that sorcerers were no longer hidden from the public, this panel confirms that Gojo's sacrifice was seen by the world, and he became a famous figure among civilians after his death besides being recognized by sorcerers.

Furthermore, Gojo's fight against Ryomen Sukuna and defeating Mahoraga in Shibuya are what allowed the aliens to gain the sympathy of the Japanese people. This highlights that Gojo's legacy lives on and continues to positively influence the world, as his strength and heroism are remembered even 69 years later.

Jujutsu Kaisen’s Sequel Finally Makes Satoru Gojo’s Dream Come True

Gojo's role as the Honored One who changed the balance of the world greatly influenced the events of Jujutsu Kaisen. But in chapter 271 of Jujutsu Kaisen, it was revealed that Gojo was tired of the world depending on him. Gojo tells Yuji that his dream was for Yuji to surpass him someday.

If the worst happens, it's my wish and my dream that you carry on in my absence. Even if I go out the way I am now, everyone will grow up and surpass me someday. Given that, I think it's better for at least one person to forget me and be strong in ways completely different from me. - Satoru Gojo, Jujutsu Kaisen, chapter #271.

These words unintentionally led Yuji to not interfere in the conflicts of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, as he didn't want society to depend solely on him as they had done with Gojo. However, in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo's ending, Yuji finally understood his purpose. Yuji resolved to find ways to help people while he could, even after his death.

By seeking the help of others, relying on Nobara and Todo, Yuji forgot to be like Gojo and found a different kind of strength, one born from unity. This, in addition to Yuji surpassing him, means Jujutsu Kaisen’s sequel fulfilled Satoru Gojo’s biggest dream. Therefore, although many fans haven't gotten over Gojo's death, Jujutsu Kaisen proved his fate wasn't so bad.
