Since the end of the Jujutsu Kaisenin September 2024, fans have been trying to understand how Gojo, the most powerful sorcerer in the series, was defeated so strangely by Sukuna. The duel between the two raised one of the highest expectations of the work, generating buzz on social media with each new chapter. But the ending of the fight divided opinions.

Gojo died off-screen. Readers didn't see his last reaction, which frustrated a large part of the audience. This fueled various theories about a possible return. Over time, the plot's focus shifted to the attack against Sukuna, but the question remained: why did Gojo lose?

Jujutsu Kaisen Gojo Sukuna

During an official Jujutsu Kaisen exhibition in Osaka, author Gege Akutami resolved the issue. He explained that, after defeating Mahoraga, Gojo believed that Sukuna would no longer be able to break through his barrier. According to Gege , " the usual Gojo would have perceived the danger, but ended up lowering his guard. "

This wasn't the first time Gojo had made a mistake. In his youth, Toji caught him by surprise when he was exhausted. This led to Riko's death and, later, to Geto's estrangement. Then, in the Shibuya Incident Arc, Gojo fell into Kenjaku's trap, resulting in thousands of deaths.
