Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 236 hits fans hard as they mourn Gojo's death

Excitement among fans peaked in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 236 as they eagerly anticipated Gojo's triumph over Sukuna. However, according to leaked spoilers, the story took an unexpected twist. The chapter opens with Gojo engaging in conversations with figures from his past - Geto and Nanami. Within this exchange, Gojo reveals details about his intense battle against Sukuna.

As the conversation progresses, it becomes increasingly evident that Gojo may no longer exist in the realm of the living. He confesses that Sukuna's power surpasses his own and he cannot allow Sukuna to unleash his full potential. Closing in on the concluding moments of Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 236, Gojo's lifeless body is unveiled, affirming his downfall at the hands of Sukuna.

In the wake of Gojo's heartbreaking demise, Jujutsu Kaisen enthusiasts in Santiago, Chile, joined forces to establish a deeply moving tribute. This reverential shrine was embellished with heartfelt messages, paper cutouts featuring scenes from the manga, anime stills, captivating fan art, and flickering candles.

The impact of Gojo in Jujutsu Kaisen's global acclaim cannot be emphasized enough. Many fans consider his narrative to be the most pivotal aspect of the series. It is possible that his immense sorcery abilities led his creator to despise him, as evidenced by frequent online criticism. Nevertheless, readers possess the freedom to decide which characters they adore and stand by.

It's an understatement to say that people all over the globe were left in disbelief by Gojo's untimely demise, leaving manga readers utterly heartbroken. Just a chapter ago, Gojo had managed to inflict severe injuries on Sukuna, gaining the upper hand and showcasing the pride of the Gojo family—the sole individual in four centuries to possess both the Limitless and Six Eyes. Now, fans are anxiously counting down the days until the next chapter is released, desperate to uncover the truth behind this unexpected twist.

Among the widespread grief, it seems that the altar has stirred up controversy among Jujutsu Kaisen fans. It has been reported that the memorial was created by repurposing a train station advertisement for season 2, possibly without the proper permissions. This has caused some unease within the community. A circulating video shows a staff member removing the notes and images from the advertisement.

While Gojo's popularity and his tragic demise have undoubtedly been heart-wrenching, some fans believe that the overwhelming display of emotions for fictional characters is excessive. Additionally, if the mangaka were to resurrect the character, all of these intense emotions could lose their significance.
