gojo pretty much confirmed to be coming back. Sukuna mentioning Shoko and her inability to use RCT on his level wasn't just because. Utahime will boost Shoko's power and together they will revive Gojo.This is significant because it goes against the idea of Gojo never needing to rely on others. Shoko and Utahime will save him, and then Gojo will be truly enlightened.

Geto in his villain era was just voldemord…

I mean if this is it for Kenjaku then thats really disappointing but overall I take the brainzombie dude over just a a racist. His entire motivation in jjk0 to take Rika was also very unfounded… His backstory saved alot about his character. So here is hoping we still get more on Kenjaku. Or gege just ends jjk in 10 chapters who tf knows at this point

Story ruined if Gojo gets to join the fight again. However I been thinking couple years ago that gojo would be freed from the Prison Realm to fight the merger. Would be funny if it happens like this now

Naruto and Dragonball Z are one of those shows where if you didn't watch them as a kid, they passed you and it's aight no worries. That being said, you missed out man 😭.

you looking at it from a very surface level and also completely ignoring the dynamic with Gojo which is a big piece of him

it's important to realize that gojo was on geto's path and vice versa before gojo's "enlightenment". Gojo saw protecting the weak as something stupid and Geto saw it as a duty. It was only after seeing the horrors committed by the weak people he saved that Geto turned.

Also see how that ties into megumi/yuji. Megumi to Yuji "what are you going to do when someone you save kills someone else". Yuji was similar to Geto while Megumi was closer to Gojo

Gojo and Geto relationship still had plenty left in the tank and Geto had a lot of room for development, change in perspective, people understanding his motives, switching sides, etc

Kenjaku is uninteresting in comparison and geto has done less with kenny in like 100+ chapters

Sukuna going on about how yuji is the first person in 1000 years with larger than life ideals that actually believes them and he knows it because he lived in Yuji made me think of this

Agreed.

Could’ve still done what Kenjaku did with Geto and it would’ve had much more impact. But given how 0 ended it was impossible. If Geto escaped after the fight with Yuta it would’ve been feasible.

Additionally

don’t even get me started on what they’ve done with Megumi lmao. Awful writing with Tsumiki. His soul breaking that easily when he was shown to be the most mentally strong all series was baffling.

It wouldn't, depending on his role going forward. Gege has the chance to do something interesting, where Gojo returns but is no longer solely defined by his strength. He reaches his full potential as a character when he realizes the importance of being supported by others - in this instance, Shoko and Utahime, the only two remaining friends from his youth. Idk, I think there's something here, narratively speaking.

I know its basically impossible for Yuta to beat Sukuna for story purposes, but I need Sukuna to glaze my boy Yuta a bit.

He already did that in the airport afterlife scene. His character arc is done bro. You guys have to hang it up. This isn't MHA

He really didnt tho - because all his friends mischaracterized him (even Geto). We shall see, I still don't think shoko and her rct were mentioned just because. Like, why even bring that s\*\*\* up. Just leave him sliced up in the field, no reader would question it

He really did though. He already went through this arc back with Geto. That's when he decided to foster the strength of the next generation and not be alone anymore. Now it's their time to shine. Gojo's time is done, bringing him back would be bad writing. Sukuna deduces that Shoko wouldn't be able to do anything because of her form of RCT if you read the chapter. Fans just want their favorite character back without acknowledging that it narratively makes no sense. It's a good thing you guys aren't writing the story tho

It would only be bad writing if he returned to simply solo the big baddie. He can come back in another capacity. Remember that nanami told Gojo, to his face, that he only used jujutsu to satisfy himself, which is literally a lie. We've known otherwise since the beginning of the story. And Haibara and Geto agreed with Nanami. Gojo even makes an expression of discontent. Either this scene was written to leave room for development, or it's bad writing on Gege's part.

But the line is not wrong and actually shows quite well the duality of Gojo. He is an egotistical arrogant guy that loves to show off with his sorcery. He couldve easily protected all the people he loves or become the sukuna of this era. However due to the HI events we know that what he really wants is to have peers a feeling of longing that came from Geto. It may seem rude of nanami to point it out like that but its certainly not wrong. If it was only about protecting he couldve easily done that Yuji, Megumi and co. But instead he sent them to missions to risk their life and grow into sorcerers on his level. His ideal comes from his hate towards the system and his love for his students and their lost youth just like he lost his. But at the very core of the man stands the unbelievable self absorbed skill strength and the isolation that comes with it

Atleast thats my a***ysis as I said I wouldnt mind him surviving tho just because Yuji needs a dad and I like Gojo. But just because of that line I wouldnt say it is bad writing at all

The problem is Nanami's speech doesn't fully paint Gojo. like, I know he's doesn't really like Gojo but he came across as too much of an a\*\*\*\*\*\*. He knows first hand Gojo cares for others. I still think there was a deliberate mischaracterization of his character. And I'm no gojo fanboy. Honestly, him not returning doesn't take anything super important away from the story, I just think there's potential there for Gege to explore some interesting themes.

What's more important now is to see how he handles this Sukuna and Kenjaku situation, because I'm not too confident that he'll write a consistent outcome.

What is this supposed to mean?

Gojo proved Jogo's pov wrong, he killed the curses and saved ALL the humans within the domain by casting it for 0.2 seconds. He thought of a solution that didnt require him to sacrifice any lives.

The point is that Gojo doesn't care if humans are killed, he only cares if they're killed by his hands. That's why Jogo set up this trap which would force him to open the domain and kill all the humans by his hands. For Gojo, strength is first and saving humans is more like a job for him. He doesn't care for humanity in the way that someone like Nanami or Yuji does
