Shibuya Incident Arc Jujutsu Kaisen anime is considered one of the best arcs in the series, and this is evident for obvious reasons. With the second season of the anime currently airing, Gojo is at the center of one of the biggest plot twists as he tries to take down Suguru Geto .

Suguru Geto Gojo Twist

So, to get into the context, in the movie that takes place after the first season, Jujutsu Kaisen 0, Geto apparently died, but somehow came back to life in the main series, with the last episode of the second season now revealing exactly what's going on in the villain's disturbed mind.

Warning: If you haven't yet watched episode nine of the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen , be warned that we will be discussing spoilers.

One minute. That was the amount of time Suguru Geto orchestrated in the Game that he needed to deal with Gojo. The villain threatened Gojo to buy the necessary time for the technique to work. Unable to take Gojo's life, Geto employed this cursed power to lock the professor away, creating a reunion between the two former friends that revealed exactly what was going through Suguru's mind.

Who is Suguru Geto?

Suguru Geto Gojo Twist

In the movie Jujutsu Kaisen 0 , Geto did indeed die and did not return from the grave to threaten Yuji Itadori, his friends, and the world in general in the present. As shown in this dramatic reunion, Gojo deciphers that it is not his former friend, but rather an imposter posing as Geto. Opening the top of his skull, the antagonist reveals that his cursed power is to switch bodies, assuming the structure of his host and simultaneously taking control of his powers.

Although it's confirmed that Geto died in the first movie, many mysteries still surround the villain. Who is controlling Geto's body? With Gojo about to be sealed away forever, Yuji and his friends will have to solve this problem, while the Shibuya Incident Arc continues.

Fans commented on the episode's impact on social media:

  • If he hadn't been sealed away, he would have sent everyone packing, right?
  • I don't understand. The villain is a brain????
  • Gojo fans were born to suffer
  • What a way to start the episode…
  • Don't fall in love with characters with white hair and blue eyes; they only bring SUFFERING
