After Gojo was immobilized, the leader of the Curses revealed that he wasn't actually the real Suguru Geto; his body was just a vessel now. However, the villain was surprised when Geto's body resisted and tried to regain control. Ashitaka , the protagonist of Princess Mononoke , went through a similar situation when his body tried to act against his will. Comparing the two animes, it seems that Ashitaka's loss of control inspired Geto's scene.
Synopsis:
Ever since high school student Yuji Itadori became involved with the secret society of sorcerers called Jujutsu Kaisen, he has been training to confront the curses, evil beings that haunt the living world. Therefore, to protect his friends and innocent people, Yuji decides to join the jujutsu sorcerers as a student-in-training under the tutelage of Satoru Gojo, the strongest sorcerer of all.
