Jujutsu Kaisen: Satoru Gojo gets an underwhelming death CrunchyrollJujutsu Kaisen\u2019s beloved Satoru Gojo dies in the battle of the strongest \u2013 however, his death remains underwhelming even to this day. Jujutsu Kaisen is currently one of the most popular new-gen shonen anime and manga series. Written by Gege Akutami, the series instantly became popular among fans thanks to its complex power system, incredible character designs, and spell-bounding fight sequences. It wouldn\u2019t be an exaggeration to say that Satoru Gojo contributes a lot to the series\u2019 global popularity. Jujutsu Kaisen reaches its peak during the Shinjuku Showdown Arc when the strongest sorcerer of the past and the strongest sorcerer of today fight against each other. However, the manga ends the battle of the strongest in the most tragic way possible, with Gojo dying. Here\u2019s how the fan-favorite character gets the most underwhelming death in Jujutsu Kaisen. How does Satoru Gojo die in Jujutsu Kaisen? Satoru Gojo dies in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 236 after fighting against Sukuna in the battle of the strongest in Shinjuku. When the Shinjuku Showdown begins between Gojo and Sukuna, it is inarguably the biggest and most hyped fight of the series. With two of the strongest characters fighting each other, the outcome is unpredictable, and the mangaka doesn\u2019t help it by adding one twist after another. After multiple nail-biting twists, Chapter 235 seems to confirm Gojo\u2019s victory, with Gojo shooting his Purple Hollow, which destroys everything in its path. However, before fans can celebrate for long, Gege Akutami drops a huge bomb in the next chapter. The cliffhanger is followed by Chapter 236, which starts with a teenage Gojo talking with his deceased friends, Geto, Nanami, and Haibara. The subject of their conversation makes it clear that no matter what the previous chapter makes it seem like, Gojo dies. He also meets Yaga, Riko, and Kuroi and bids them farewell before the scene changes to his lifeless body lying on the ground. The chapter reveals that not only is Gojo dead, but he also has a brutal death. His body is cut in half, with the lower part of his body still standing. One of his arms is amputated, too. It is also revealed that while Mahoraga perishes in the Hollow Purple attack, Sukuna survives, even after losing a hand. Sukuna explains how Gojo\u2019s death is thanks to Mahoraga\u2019s adaptability. After Mahoraga is hit with an attack, it takes a certain amount of time to process and adapt to it. Being hit by the attack again speeds up the process. Since Sukuna has no way to bypass Gojo\u2019s Infinity, he has to use Mahoraga as a \u201cmodel\u201d. As Mahoraga adapts to Gojo\u2019s inviolability, it neutralizes its own cursed energy to nullify the effect of Infinity. Using the Shikigami\u2019s adaptability, Sukuna hits Gojo with a world-slashing Dismantle. However, the attack\u2019s target isn\u2019t Gojo but the space around him. Just by being in the space, Gojo is cut in half and killed by Sukuna. Hence, the crown of victory is immediately passed on to Sukuna. Gojo declared his victory even before the battle Gojo\u2019s arrogance and confidence stem from his unparalleled strength. In Chapter 3, Yuji asks Gojo if he can win against Sukuna. Gojo says that if the King of Curses had the power of all 20 fingers, the fight would be challenging, but he would win in the end. Even moments before the battle, Gojo declares his imminent victory. This shows how much Gojo believes in his own strength. What\u2019s odd about it is that Sukuna only has the power of 19 fingers, whereas Gojo\u2019s abilities are amplified to 120% thanks to Utahime\u2019s cursed technique. However, during his conversation with Geto, Gojo claims that Sukuna is too strong and doesn\u2019t need Megumi\u2019s powers to defeat him. The strongest sorcerer alive even feels sorry for the King of Curses, who didn\u2019t have a chance to display his true strength \u2013 meaning Sukuna held back while Gojo was going all out. But in a large part of the fight, Sukuna has to rely on Mahoraga\u2019s adaptability, and that\u2019s how he managed to get the upper hand. The battle between Sukuna and Gojo confirms that the King of Curses is the strongest of them all. But that doesn\u2019t change the fact that he has no way to bypass Gojo\u2019s Infinity without using Mahoraga. If he has, it hasn\u2019t been hinted as of yet since Sukuna himself confesses his inability to counter Infinity. Why is Gojo\u2019s death in Jujutsu Kaisen so underwhelming? Gojo\u2019s death is off-screened, so being unable to see his final moments is unfair. Considering Gojo\u2019s influence, his death could be executed in a much better way. First off, he literally dies off-screen. We don\u2019t even see how and when the attack hit him. Seeing the end result was shocking, but at the same time, it didn\u2019t make sense at all. It was difficult to process what transpired in the battle, which resulted in our beloved character ending up in such a horrible state. We don\u2019t even get to see Gojo saying his final words to his students. Furthermore, the fight between the two wasn\u2019t some personal vendetta, but the future of the Jujutsu society rests on the outcome. Therefore, Gojo\u2019s death fails to meet the level of impact it should\u2019ve created. As one of the most popular characters, he didn\u2019t manage to accomplish any of his goals. Not only that, but we don\u2019t see reactions from his students and the other sorcerers. The fight is being broadcast to everyone thanks to Mei Mei\u2019s cursed technique. We only see Yuji\u2019s heartbroken expression and Yuta drawing out his sword while Maki tries to calm him. But what about the others? The lack of reaction fails to create the emotional impact needed to follow up with the tragedy of Gojo\u2019s death in Jujutsu Kaisen. Despite that, the entire fight had a perfect pace until chapter 235, but the ending seemed rushed. The only good thing was that Gojo didn\u2019t regret dying at the hands of someone stronger. Even in Chapter 251, the series has yet to show any reaction from Gojo\u2019s students to his death. Jujutsu Kaisen had already set the stage for Gojo\u2019s death Gege had foreshadowed Gojo\u2019s death several times. Nonetheless, Gojo\u2019s death wasn\u2019t suddenly incorporated into Jujutsu Kaisen. The series hinted Sukuna was stronger than Gojo in the Shibuya Incident Arc. After sealing Gojo in the Prison Realm, Kenjaku revealed if the sealing didn\u2019t work, he had Sukuna as a \u201ccontingency plan,\u201d meaning he had faith that the ancient sorcerer could defeat Gojo. Additionally, there are also reasons to believe that Gojo\u2019s death may have been pre-planned. Gojo\u2019s Six Eyes allowed him to see the flow of cursed energy in extreme detail and to use that flow to read cursed techniques. Hence, there\u2019s no way he didn\u2019t know the difference in their power during the fight. In Chapter 250, Sukuna also reveals he has low cursed energy due to his fight with Gojo. Yuta also knows that if Gojo hadn\u2019t damaged the King of Curses so much, he and Yuji would\u2019ve died by now. This gives rise to the possibility that maybe Gojo intended to clear a path for his students all along. After all, he has immense faith in his students and considers them to have the potential to surpass him maybe someday. Whatever the case may be, it is irrefutable that Gojo is the strongest character Sukuna has defeated. Maybe that will change soon after Yuji awakens his powers. Until then, the title of the greatest opponent has been Satoru Gojo. Here\u2019s a quick guide if you want to know more about the Jujutsu Kaisen manga ending.
