Fans ofJujutsu Kaisenhave long been eagerly speculating whether Satoru Gojo will come back or not, especially after Nobara Kugisaki’s unexpected return. As the manga approaches its climax. Fans are clinging to hope that Gojo might not be truly dead despite receiving no hints from the creator, Gege Akutami, whatsoever.
Even though recent events suggest otherwise, some subtle clues and hints have led to exciting theories that Gojo might be alive and waiting for the perfect moment to reappear. These theories revolved around the dialogues and behaviors of other characters, or some random moments, have captured the imagination of fans and reignited the belief that Gojo has already teased his return in the wittiest way possible.
Satoru Gojo’s Comeback Theories in the Upcoming Chapters ofJujutsu Kaisen
Satoru Gojo’s deathhas been one of the most controversial and debated topics on social media for a long time. Due to the killing of this fan-favorite character, Gege Akutami has received huge backlash, to the point where Akutami even received death threats and calls to boycott the manga. However, the situation has calmed down over time, but still, fans haven’t completely moved on from this shock.
Thus, since then, it has led to countless theories and assumptions from fans about Gojo’s potential return. Now as the manga is reaching its end, and with one of the primary characters, Nobara’s return, fans are hell-bent on this idea that Gege Akutami will probably surprise the whole fandom by bringing Gojo back at the perfect time possible. And, there are several clues in favor of this idea.
Despite Giving Sukuna 6 of Those, Gege Akutami Saved the Most Badass Binding Vow for Another Jujutsu Kaisen Character
The first clue involves a panel from the leak ofJujutsu Kaisen‘s upcoming chapter. In this chapter, a clock randomly shows the time as 2:21, which many fans believe is a reference toChapter 221itself; the chapter where Gojo was sealed in the Prison Realm.
the clock reads 2:21… and remember happened in 221.GOJO COMEBACK SOON#JJK269pic.twitter.com/yL9elurLzO
the seconds-hand appears to be about 28, moving towards 29 — recall gojo’s new age was confirmed to be 29 in the jjk exhibition, the age that buddha left to find enlightenment, instead of him being listed as dead…just like nobara.#JJK269
But the clues don’t stop there. Observant fans have noted that the clock’s second hand is at about 28, moving toward 29. This might seem like a minor detail, but in theJujutsu Kaisenexhibition, Gojo’s age was confirmed to be 29 – the age at which Buddha left his life of luxury to seek enlightenment. This symbolic connection between Gojo’s age and Buddha’s journey has led to the theory that Gojo’s story is far from over.
“why is no one is talking about gojo being dead, no one is acknowledging what he did for them, no one—”it is because….he is alive.#JJK269pic.twitter.com/hgec2EUqsF
and notice how hakari just said “gojo-sans defeat” not his DEATH
Another piece of evidence comes from Hakari’s statement. When discussing Gojo’s situation, Hakari says the word “defeat” but not “death.” Similarly, the way other characters have reacted to Gojo’s death, or we should say, the lack of reaction – has led to doubts. Surprisingly, no one seems to be truly acknowledging Gojo’s demise. This strange absence of grief has led many fans to wonder if this is because Gojo isn’t actually dead.
Idk if this has anything to do with gojo coming back but in season 2 ep 1 around the 17 minute mark when yaga is explaining tengen it shows a clock that’s 8 minutes past 6 and yaga mentions enlightenment, and evolving into a higher being could be alluding to gojo..pic.twitter.com/CrM0OvoQzh
Just like Nobara, Gojo has not been explicitly declared dead, and this intentional vagueness leaves the door wide open for a dramatic return. The fact that the manga doesn’t dwell on his loss suggests that his story is not finished yet.
Satoru Gojo’s Return inJujutsu Kaisen: Foreshadowing or Over-assumption?
For many fans, the question isn’t so much if Gojo will return, but when and how. The clues scattered throughout the manga by Gege Akutami hint that Gojo is biding his time, waiting for the perfect moment to reappear and turn the tide in the ongoing battle.
Gege is doing it on purpose to bait people I’m so sure of it.
NGL this shit may be real
AND THE 8 MINUTE REFERENCE LAST CHAPTER…..WE ARE SO BACKpic.twitter.com/M2GjftcKfb
GOJO IS NOT COMING BACK IN THIS CHAPTERBECAUSE NEXT WEEK IT WILL BE ONE YEAR AFTER HE DIED AND IT WILL BE IN THE CHAPTER 270 THAT HE WILL REVIVE.
Gojo’s character has always been known for his wit and intelligence, and it wouldn’t be surprising if his eventual comeback was planned with the same level of acuity and subtlety. His role in the story is far vital for him to simply fade away without a proper conclusion.
Jujutsu Kaisen Went in the Opposite Direction of Bleach as One of the Reasons Why It’s the Most Popular Anime in the World
Although these theories may be an instance of the fans reading too much into it, given the record ofGege Akutami‘s clever storytelling inJujutsu Kaisen, there’s still hope for Gojo to make his grand return. And if it happens,Jujutsu Kaisen‘s ending will be remembered for a long time within the anime community.
