Jujutsu Kaisen has delivered gut-punch after gut-punch in its latest manga chapters, but nothing could prepare fans for the tragic loss depicted in the latest JJK chapter 236 spoilers. In a crushing turning point for the series, the leaks indicate the mighty Satoru Gojo has been killed in battle against Sukuna.
This monumental death of the strongest Jujutsu sorcerer will have profound impact on the story going forward. As fans process their grief over losing one of the series’ most popular characters, what can the leaked events of chapter 236 tell us about Gojo’s final moments and legacy?
Recapping Gojo’s Epic But Doomed Battle Against Sukuna
Prior to the events of chapter 236, Gojo had been locked in a fierce combat with the sinister Sukuna in the ruins of Shinjuku. Despite Gojo’s immense power with his Limitless technique, the ancient evil of Sukuna paired with Megumi’s shikigami Mahoraga proved a formidable opponent.
In the climax of their battle last chapter, Gojo used a massive Hollow Purple attack that seemed to defeat Mahoraga and leave Sukuna heavily wounded. However, the tide shockingly turned against Gojo in the final pages of chapter 235.
Outmatched by Sukuna and Mahoraga’s adapting abilities, Gojo faced a terrifying vertical slash. But could the invincible sorcerer really have fallen? Unfortunately, the somber events of chapter 236 confirm Gojo’s defeat was no fake-out.
Gojo’s Bittersweet Farewells Set the Stage for Tragedy
Before depicting Gojo’s tragic end, chapter 236 opens with him speaking to the spirits of beloved deceased friends and colleagues including Geto, Nanami, Haibara, Yaga, Riko and Kuroi. Unaware these would be his final moments, Gojo laments to Geto that he always told his students a sorcerer dies alone, but this wasn’t entirely true.
He tells Geto about his epic battle with Sukuna, admitting the King of Curses proved incredibly formidable, potentially winning even without Megumi’s technique. While Gojo enjoyed the fight immensely, he regretted Sukuna didn’t go all out. In a bittersweet exchange, Gojo bids his friends group farewell, setting the stage for heartbreak.
Mahoraga’s Devastating New Ability Brings Gojo Down
In the leaked pages after Gojo’s farewells, the narrative returns to his fight with Sukuna. In a chilling scene, Gojo’s mutilated body is shown lying prone on the ground, confirming his death. Sukuna provides context by explaining how Mahoraga gained an ability to defeat even Infinity.
As Mahoraga adapts to attacks, Sukuna reveals it started to target the space around Gojo, nullifying Infinity by slicing through the fabric of space itself. In a gruesome panel, Gojo is shown with his body vertically bisected by Mahoraga’s unstoppable strike, bypassing his defenses. Sukuna acknowledges Gojo’s might, but Infinity couldn’t save him from an attack severing the very world.
The Legend of Gojo Comes to an End, But His Legacy Lives On
While Gojo boasted unparalleled power, his confidence ultimately proved his undoing against Sukuna and Mahoraga’s cunning evolution. With Gojo gone, jujutsu society has lost its mightiest protector and his students their beloved mentor.
But Gojo’s immense legacy will live on through those he trained and his ideology challenging jujutsu orthodoxy. As characters like Yuji, Megumi and Nobara continue their journeys, they’ll feel the impact of Gojo’s teachings and unfinished mission. For now, fans must grapple with losing the larger-than-life Gojo, though surely his presence will loom large even in death.
Kashimo Takes Up the Fight Against Sukuna in Gojo’s Stead
Sukuna may have eliminated his rival Gojo, but his celebration is short-lived, as chapter 236 leaks reveal a new fighter has stepped up to challenge the King of Curses – Hajime Kashimo. Nicknamed “Thunder God”, Kashimo is sure to unleash an electrifying battle against the overconfident Sukuna.

While Kashimo’s mastery of lightning magic will make him a formidable foe, Sukuna’s strength may be insurmountable following his evolution against Gojo. But perhaps teaming up with Yuji inside him can take Sukuna down. Kashimo versus Sukuna will be a heart-pounding battle carrying on Gojo’s resistance.
Deeper Meaning Behind Gojo’s Fate: No Sorcerer Can Stop Sukuna Alone
Stepping back, Gojo’s death reinforces a deeper theme – that no single sorcerer, even the strongest, can defeat a foe like Sukuna alone. Sukuna’s ancient evil has only grown more unstoppable by assimilating techniques and evolving.
To have any hope of victory, Yuji, Megumi, Nobara and friends will have to join forces. Gojo’s isolation as the top sorcerer prevented that unity. United against Sukuna, Yuji and company may finally avenge Gojo. But they must also resist the corruption of power that befell him.
How Will Gojo’s Students React to His Shocking Demise?
For Yuji, Megumi, Nobara and the other students trained by Gojo, his shocking death will leave them grief-stricken and forever impacted. Despite his aloofness, Gojo cared for his students in his own way. They must now find the resolve to carry on sans his guidance and protection.
Yuji as Sukuna’s vessel may feel Gojo’s loss most acutely. Despite their clashing personalities, Gojo put faith in Yuji’s pure goals. With Gojo gone, the burden on Yuji to somehow stop Sukuna from within only grows heavier. Meanwhile, Megumi looked up to Gojo as his mentor, and must now chart his own path forward.
Could Gojo Return? Will His Death Be Reversed?
While Gojo appears conclusively deceased in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 236, some fans cling to hope that he could return somehow. Perhaps a clever Cursed Technique could rewind time and save him. But that seems unlikely, and would undercut the gravity of Gojo’s death.
Sukuna’s gloating over his clear victory also doesn’t suggest any plot twists or reversal. As painful as it may be, readers must accept that the era of Gojo has tragically ended in Jujutsu Kaisen. The story will evolve in unexpected new directions without his overpowered presence to fall back on.
The Lasting Impact of Gojo’s Death on the Series
Make no mistake, the leaks indicating Gojo’s death in chapter 236 confirm a tectonic shift for Jujutsu Kaisen (JJK). Removing someone with Gojo’s strength and knowledge will allow threats like Sukuna and Kenjaku to advance their schemes. It also passes the torch to Yuji’s generation to find their own path.
While we mourn Gojo, we should also admire Gege Akutami’s bold storytelling in killing off one of his most beloved characters. The losses suffered will propel growth and change for those left behind. As the ripples of Gojo’s demise spread, one thing is certain – Jujutsu Kaisen will never be the same.
