“Did Gojo die?” refers to puzzlement, reactions, and memes online to the character of Satoru Gojo (and noted meme)’s reported death in the manga sorcerers series Jujutsu Kaisen. The fan-favorite character’s death was revealed in leaked pages of Chapter 236 of Jujutsu Kaisen, titled Satoru Gojo’s Death, which followed a leaked cliffhanger fight sequence between him and villain Sukuna in September 2023.
This is the end of Chapter 235…
…and the first panel of Chapter 236.
Online fans of the show reacted to the news with extreme anguish, with many lamenting the character’s “sealed off” arc in the anime, which means his storyline had ended.
How did Gojo Satoru Die?
Gojo Satoru died off-panel at the hands of Sukuna. In Chapter 235 of the series, the much-anticipated battle between Gojo and Sukuna, the King of Curses, took place. At the end of the chapter, Gojo sacrifices Shinjuku to seemingly defeat Sukuna and claim victory.
However, the leaked Chapter 236 panels revealed that Gojo died “offscreen” and was cut in half. Hardcore stuff.
Why did Yuta take Gojo’s body?
Yuta, another JJK character, took Gojo’s body so that he could put himself in it. More specifically, Yuta had a plan to swap brains with Gojo to utilize his skills in battle, particularly Gojo’s Six Eyes ability.
Will Gojo come back to life?
So, he sort of did. At the end of Chapter 260, it appears as though Gojo has returned alive and well. However, in Chapter 261, it’s revealed that this Gojo is just Yuta in Gojo’s body. Much to the chagrin of fans, creator Gege Akutami still has no plans whatsoever to bring the actual Gojo back to life.
Akutami’s cover art for Volume 26 served as a memorial for Gojo, finalizing and cementing his sealed-off status. “I psyched myself up saying, ‘I’m going to draw a death portrait of Gojo!!!’ But I feel pressured to make Gojo’s color illustrations look cool every time,” said Akutami at an art exhibit.
“I find it more relaxing and can produce better art when drawing for Jump covers for example. Originally, I planned to draw camellia flowers, but since Gojo lost, I drew camellia-like sasanqua instead.”
What a tease.
Internet fan reactions
The development caused an uproar in the Jujutsu Kaisen online community, who demanded a seemingly missing Chapter 235.5. The ire was further exacerbated by the fact that the character’s arc was “sealed off” in the anime, meaning fans will not see him in either new anime or manga releases.
Needless to say, the fan reaction was less than reasonable, with JJK fans going as far as threatening Mangaka Gege Akutami for the story development and execution choices. For instance, on September 20th, 2023, X user @vantaeprod posted a meme regarding Gojo’s death, which garnered over 36k likes in a single day.
That same day, X user @goatorucl*tjo posted a Meme Heaven picture involving Gojo, which gathered over 40k likes in a day.
That same September 20th, another X user @jjkoohyck posted an image of a K-Pop fan sympathizing with JJK fans mourning the death of Gojo. The post garnered over 20k likes in a day.
But hold on, the Gojo memes weren’t done that day, as another X user posted an edited bus meme commenting on how Gojo will be leaving both the manga and anime, a post which also saw 20k likes in a day.
Gojo’s memorial in Santiago, Chile
Gojo’s death hit the JJK fan community hard, and nowhere was that more evident than in the Universidad de Chile metro station in Santiago, Chile on September 21st, 2023. That day, fans built an altar memorial to Gojo filled with fan art and messages. A TikTok of the altar posted by @rgabriela27.1 gathered 1 million plays and 246k likes in a day.
Another TikTok of the memorial by @whoisdanny_ posted on September 23rd saw a further million plays and 183k likes. (The post has since been removed.)
Once the memorial became viral, security guards at the metro station began removing elements of it, with TikToks of the removal going viral in their own right. For instance, on September 24th, TikToker @meganoticias.cl posted a video of the removal that garnered 187k views and 18k likes in a day.

So, he sort of did. At the end of Chapter 260, it appears as though Gojo has returned alive and well. However, in Chapter 261, it's revealed that this Gojo is just Yuta

in Gojo's body. Much to the chagrin of fans, creator Gege Akutami
Gege Akutami
Gege Akutami (Japanese: 芥見下々, Hepburn: Akutami Gege, born February 26, 1992) is a Japanese manga artist known for their work Jujutsu Kaisen. Gege Akutami is a pen name and the author's real name and identity are unknown.
How did Gojo Satoru die? Fans felt it was almost unreal when Gojo, one of the central characters in Jujutsu Kaisen, had to meet his end in the manga. In chapter 236, during the Shinjuku Showdown Arc, he dies at the hands of Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses.
Jujutsu Kaisen has reached one of the wildest phase of the Shinjuku Showdown arc, and the newest chapter explained how Yuta Okkotsu ended up bringing Satoru Gojo back to life in a very unexpected way!
Later in the manga, Hana Kurusu and her technique finally allow Gojo to escape the Prison Realm. As an incarnated form of Angel, a powerful ancient sorcerer, she is the only solution to Gojo's unsealing mystery. She uses her Angel's Jacob's Ladder Cursed Technique to open up the required back gate of the Prison Realm.
As the battle continued, Gojo ultimately met his end when Sukuna, using a model from Mahoraga, was able to cut his body in half with a slash that bisected the world itself, in turn bypassing Gojo's Infinity.
Who killed Sukuna? Prior to assuming the title of the King of Curses, Sukuna was a rogue human sorcerer known for his uncontrollable powers, which posed a grave danger to humanity. Over 1,000 years ago, he was defeated and slain by his fellow jujutsu sorcerers.
Yuta's Performance Against Sukuna Could Be Very Impressive
Yuta then switched to Gojo's body and utilized maximum output reverse cursed technique to bring the body to life. With that, Yuta was back and he rushed to the battlefield immediately after.
Jujutsu Kaisen's creator Gege Akutami set Gojo's death in stone with a new comment about his funeral portrait. Jujutsu Kaisen, initially a straightforward manga series about curses and sorcerers fighting for human protection.
His strength, speed and reflexes come near to Sukunas but since Sukuna is not a human being he is definitely stronger than Gojo when it comes to physical strength and speed. Some evidence for Gojos strength): He outpowered Jogo in hand-to-hand-combat and moved faster than Jogo could react.
Satoru Gojo won't be returning to Jujutsu Kaisen, despite fan theories and hopes. He died at the hands of Ryomen Sukuna. Ogami, a minor character with a unique curse technique, could revive Satoru Gojo by using her Seance Technique to transform into a dead person.
Despite his strength, there are anime characters like Yagami Light, Aizen, and Yami who can pose a threat to Satoru in a fight. Characters like Alucard, Goku, Isshiki Otsutsuki, and Giorno Giovanna are also strong contenders who can potentially defeat Satoru.
His body was moved from Shinjuku, thanks to Ui Ui's technique. Later, it was stitched up by none other than Shoko, and after, Yuta used it in his battle against Sukuna, as he had been transported to the same place as well.
The chapter explains that Shoko and the medical team were able to patch up Gojo's body just enough for Yuta to do the rest using Reversed Cursed Technique after entering his body. As such, while Gojo has technically returned, he is quite literally a ghost of himself, with Yuta only controlling his body like a puppet.
Six Eyes is another innate attribute inherited within the Gojo clan. It grants the bearer extraordinary perception, allowing them to see the flow of cursed energy. The constant influx of information can be overwhelming, leaving the bearer overstimulated and tired. Six Eyes is an extremely rare trait.
Nikushimi Gojo is one of the characters in Jujutsu Kaisen. He is the son of Satoru Gojo, and . His current status as a Jujutsu Sorcerer is Special-Grade 2, and he is a remarkable sorcerer in the words of many.
While many anime-only fans might think this is the end for Gojo Satoru, that is not true. In the manga, after being fatally injured by Toji, Gojo concentrates all his cursed energy and successfully utilizes the Reverse Cursed Technique, restoring his health and bringing himself back from death's door.
Second, they consider Gojo as an accomplice during the Shibuya Incident so they expelled him from jujutsu society. Unsealing him will be a crime. Third, Principal Yaga gets a death sentence for inciting Gojo and Geto, resulting in the Shibuya Incident.
As he turns to flee, Geto makes his appearance. Seeing his dead friend alive again causes Gojo to go through all the possibilities, causing a minutes within his mind to pass and allow the seal to lock him away. While being sealed, Gojo realizes that this must be an imposter using Geto's body.
