Major reveals hit theJujutsu Kaisenfandom asthe author of the series, Gege Akutami, reveals answers to very conflicting questions the fans have been waiting for. Finally, the author has tackled how Gojo, the insanely overpowered character from his series, was defeated by Sukuna. The answer to this question might upset some fans, naturally.
Gege Reveals How Gojo Lost To Sukuna
Gojo Let His Guard Down
Jujutsu Kaisenis one of the best Shonen mangas of recent years, and its popularity was record-breaking, but the story sadly came to an end recently in late 2024. The story ofJujutsu Kaisen’sfinal arc saw many characters take on the King of Curses, Sukuna. However, things only got harder when Sukuna defeated the strongest sorcerer in the modern era, Gojo Satoru.
Sukuna defeated Gojo despite the latter being on top of the fight. This has always confused fans, because the attack that killed Gojo, the World Splitting Dismantle, shouldn’t have been hard for him to dodge. After all, Kashimo was able to dodge it, and even Maki saw it, thanks to her Heavenly Restriction. Just like Maki has her special powers, Gojo has the Six Eyes, and should’ve avoided and survived the strike very easily.
Recently, more light was shed on what happened. Jujutsu Kaisen recently had an event in Tokyo, and in that event, Gege Akutami, the mangaka of the series, revealed many answers to frequently asked questions by fans.
Here’s what Gege had to say about how Gojo was defeated by Sukuna:
The slash that hit Gojo happened right after he said ‘This is Gojo’s win.’ I think he let his guard down after defeating Mahoraga. At that point, he believed Sukuna had no way to counter Limitless anymore. - Akutami Gege
In short,Gege reveals that the only reason Sukuna wonis because Gojo was not paying attention after he believed he had won. This is definitely a disappointing way to explain Gojo’s death, as it was easily preventable.
One thing this proves, however, is that Sukuna wasn’t stronger than Gojo, and that he was only able to defeat Gojo through Gojo’s own lack of focus. Gojo could have won the battle had he stayed focused, and that’s what makes this reveal even worse.
