Japan: Gojo’s body, setting the stage for a gripping showdown with Sukuna in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 261 and fans are not happy with Gojo’s “return”.
In the Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 262, the highly-anticipated fight between Yuta and Sukuna starts up, being that is in Satoru Gojo’s body currently.
Some fans were excited about what they still consider Gojo’s “return,” while others were left confused and in a state of mixed feelings, given the contrast between what Gojo has become now and what he was before all that happened.
After beating Kenjaku, Yuta forces Rika to eat his ashes, which enables her to utilize the brain-hopping curse technique. The confrontation itself, or at least part of it, which will be discussed further, is expanded in Chapter 261 in fairly detail and is a hidden highlight of the series’ plot despite being initially presented as an episodic element of the entire performance.
Stealing Kenjaku’s technique enables Yuta to enact his backup plan: placing his consciousness in Gojo, thus aiming to make it cooperate with the unique character whose body had a stitched-up appearance—a dead one at that. However, most of the sorcerers comprehend this versatility, yet Yuta still has some questions and interests about how it will work.
Another element that contributes to the show’s intense intrigue is the hint at Gojo’s possible revival; this happens in Chapter 260, in which the viewer sees the shadow of Gojo. But this changes rather quickly, as elementary distinctions creep in, revealing that Gojo’s soul is no longer contained within the flesh.
Yuta’s dark brown hair, mannerisms, motionless facial features, and somewhat slower fight action contrast greatly with the Gojo stereotype.
Many fans express discomfort and unease at the uncanny situation, they are missing Gojo’s confident charisma.
