Hello, everyone! I’m KENTA, a Japanese manga enthusiast. This time, we’ll dive deep into the possibility of Satoru Gojo’s resurrection in the final battle of Jujutsu Kaisen. With Satoru Gojo featured on the cover of the latest volume 26, fans are buzzing with various speculations. Against the backdrop of intense battles with Sukuna and Megumi Fushiguro, we’ll explore why Gojo’s revival is so crucial. By reading this article, you’ll be able to predict the future of Jujutsu Kaisen and share the excitement with us!
Satoru Gojo’s Current State and the Dire Situation
First, let’s organize the current storyline concerning Satoru Gojo. In the latest chapter, Satoru Gojo was killed by Sukuna’s Dimension Slash. Following his death, the battle situation for the fighting group has rapidly deteriorated, with allies falling one after another.
In chapter 236, after Gojo’s death, the first to challenge Sukuna was Kashimo, who was also killed by Dimension Slash. Following that, Itadori and Hiromi Higuruma counterattacked against Sukuna using Fushiguro’s body, but Higuruma was defeated, and Itadori was seriously injured. Next up was the role of Mei Mei’s brother, Mechamaru, who was also repelled by Sukuna. To break this dire situation, Satoru Gojo’s resurrection is indispensable.
The Possibility of Satoru Gojo’s Resurrection
Next, let’s consider the specific methods by which Satoru Gojo might be resurrected. Firstly, it’s believed that Gojo’s body has been recovered by the Jujutsu High. At Jujutsu High, Shoko Ieiri is likely waiting, and her Reverse Cursed Technique would be key to Gojo’s revival.
However, it’s said that Ieiri’s Reverse Cursed Technique output isn’t very high. Yet, just as Itadori learned the Reverse Cursed Technique and mastered body enhancement techniques through gravity within a month, other sorcerers likely trained during this period. Thus, Ieiri might have strengthened her output as well.
Furthermore, regarding soul healing, using Yuki Tsukumo’s remaining soul research records could be considered. This would enable Ieiri to learn the high-difficulty technique of repairing the soul’s outline and, with the cooperation of Utahime and Gakuganji, significantly enhance the output of the Reverse Cursed Technique, making Gojo’s revival possible.
Messages Hidden in the Cover of Volume 26
Next, let’s look at the cover of volume 26. This cover features Satoru Gojo, with various elements hinting at his resurrection.
Firstly, Gojo’s outfit is the one he wore before the final battle, and in the upper right corner of the cover, plum blossoms are blooming. Plum blossoms are the birth flower for February 3rd, which is Megumi Fushiguro’s birthday. Additionally, the number of flowers matches the number of students who patted Gojo on the back, reminding us of how Gojo likened his students to flowers. Plum blossoms bloom at the end of winter and the beginning of spring, symbolizing Gojo’s resurrection.
Moreover, the cover includes the phrase “To the South,” echoing Nanami’s words: “If you want to become a new self, go north. If you want to return to your past self, go south.” This phrase suggests Gojo might be heading south to return to his past self.
Examining Satoru Gojo’s Resurrection Through the Story’s Development
Finally, let’s consider Satoru Gojo’s resurrection through the story’s development. In Jujutsu Kaisen, characters who appear on the cover of a volume often face defeat within that volume. For example, Itadori on volume 1 loses to a special grade curse at the Juvenile Detention Center, and Megumi on volume 2 loses to Sukuna.
Similarly, Satoru Gojo, who appears on the cover of volume 26, might again be defeated by Sukuna. However, this defeat could lead to him gaining new power. Gojo is a character who has appeared on the cover twice, and characters who appear twice often experience some form of enhancement or awakening.
For instance, Geto, who appeared on the cover of volume 16, was strengthened by absorbing an awakened Mahito. Likewise, Fushiguro, who appeared on the cover of volume 25, summoned and mastered Mahoraga, enhancing his shadow technique. This suggests that Satoru Gojo might also gain new power upon his resurrection.
In conclusion, we’ve explored the possibility of Satoru Gojo’s resurrection. His revival is essential to overcome the current dire situation. We’ve examined various aspects, including strengthening the Reverse Cursed Technique and hidden messages in the cover of volume 26, to predict his possible comeback. Let’s continue to enjoy Jujutsu Kaisen, anticipating future developments!
