In the world of manga and anime, few characters have garnered as much attention and admiration as Satoru Gojo from ‘Jujutsu Kaisen.’ His reputation as the self-proclaimed strongest sorcerer has solidified his status as an iconic figure in the series. However, as fans of the series know all too well, the creator of ‘Jujutsu Kaisen,’ Gege Akutami, is not one to shy away from unexpected plot twists and shocking developments. Chapter 236 of the manga has left fans in disbelief, raising the question: Is Gojo really dead?
The Illusion of Victory
The rollercoaster of emotions in ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ reached a new peak in Chapter 236. It all began in Chapter 235, where fans were led to believe that Gojo had emerged victorious in his intense battle against Sukuna, the King of Curses. A momentary sense of relief and triumph swept over the readers as they celebrated what seemed like a glorious win for the sorcerer.
A Twist of Fate
Chapter 236, however, shattered these celebrations and brought a harsh reality crashing down upon fans. The chapter opens with what appears to be a conversation between Gojo and Geto, a character from his past. At first glance, this exchange might be mistaken for a flashback, but as the dialogue unfolds, it becomes evident that something is awry. Gojo discusses his battle with Sukuna and expresses contentment with having met his end in combat against a stronger opponent rather than succumbing to old age or disease. It becomes increasingly clear that this is not a flashback; Gojo has entered the afterlife—or so it seems.
The Demise of Gojo
The shocking revelation occurs when the story abruptly transitions back to the real world, revealing Gojo lying on the ground, blood seeping from his mouth. His body has been gruesomely severed in half by Sukuna, who stands menacingly over his fallen foe. Sukuna’s words of admiration for Gojo, coupled with the gory scene, leave little room for doubt—Gojo appears to have met his end.

A Shattered Illusion
This momentous event has left devoted ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ enthusiasts in a state of disbelief. For so long, Gojo was regarded as invincible, a seemingly insurmountable force. His unparalleled strength and charismatic persona made him a standout character in the series. However, Sukuna’s brutal act has shattered the illusion of Gojo’s invincibility, leaving fans reeling.
The Uncertain Future
The burning question now is whether Gojo’s demise in Chapter 236 is permanent or if there is a chance for his resurrection in future chapters. In the realm of fiction, possibilities are endless, and unexpected twists are the norm. The fact that Gojo was seen bidding farewell to his friends in the afterlife could suggest that his journey is far from over. The afterlife in literature often serves as a space for reconnection and reflection, leaving room for the unexpected.
Moreover, Gojo has survived numerous harrowing situations throughout the story, showcasing his resilience and resourcefulness. Could this be yet another instance of his incredible survival skills at play?
