In chapter 235 of Jujutsu Kaisen, Gojo left Sukuna severely injured, and it seemed victory was already his. However, in chapter 236, a major twist occurred: Sukuna won, and Gojo suffered a brutal death. This came as a shock to all fans of the character, leading to much criticism on social media against the author.

Check out the reviews:

  • Gege imprisoned Gojo for 3 years, brought him back for 5 months, and then killed him while he was being sealed away in the anime for approximately 5 years… he has to come back, guys, RIGHT?!
  • Good luck to Gege for progressing in the plot now that he killed the best plot device JJK had with an untimely death.
  • It's time to sue Gege.

 

Synopsis:

Since Yuji Itadori, a high school student, became involved with the secret society of sorcerers called Jujutsu Kaisen, he has been training to confront curses, evil beings that haunt the world of the living. Therefore, to protect his friends and innocent people, Yuji decides to join the jujutsu sorcerers as a trainee under the tutelage of Satoru Gojo, the strongest sorcerer of all.

The first season of the anime premiered in October 2020 and consisted of 24 episodes animated by Studio MAPPA. In addition, the studio also handled the animation for the film Jujutsu Kaisen 0, which takes place a few years before the main series and tells the story of young Yuta Okkotsu.
