The Unforgettable Missed Opportunity in Jujutsu Kaisen That Fans Will Always Regret
Jujutsu Kaisen fans lament missed chance for epic encounter between Satoru Gojo and Yuki Tsukumo, leaving them disappointed and longing for an unfulfilled meeting
In the expansive world of Jujutsu Kaisen, the title of the Strongest has frequently changed hands. Before Gojo, Yuki Tsukumo, the Special Grade sorcerer, was considered the strongest sorcerer of the modern era. Fans were eager to see the two most powerful sorcerers of the Jujutsu society come together at least once in the series.
However, with the current state of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, it seems unlikely that fans will ever witness their interaction. This has led fans around the world to express their disappointment with mangaka Gege Akutami for missing out on such a significant opportunity.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Fans point out missed opportunity with Satoru Gojo and Yuki Tsukumo
In Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen series, Satoru Gojo stands out among the diverse cast as the most well-known character. He is respected as the most powerful sorcerer in the current time and acts as a mentor to the first-year students at Tokyo Jujutsu High.
On the flip side, before Gojo's reawakening, Yuki Tsukumo was hailed as the most powerful sorcerer of the modern era. Despite being one of only four Special Grade sorcerers in the Jujutsu society, Yuki did not align herself with Jujutsu High. It seems that she disagreed with the methods of the higher-ups and instead chose to work towards creating a world free from curses in her own way.
The two Special Grade sorcerers share remarkably similar personalities and have shown nearly identical charisma, leading fans to eagerly anticipate a potential meeting between the two in the story. As two of the most powerful sorcerers in the Jujutsu society with striking similarities, fans believe that their interaction would be incredibly memorable and impactful if it were to occur in the manga.
However, their much-anticipated encounter is now impossible as both sorcerers have met their demise in brutal ways at the hands of their enemies.
In chapter 236 of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, Gojo met a brutal end in a battle with Sukuna. Sukuna used a powerful Dismantle attack to bisect Gojo, targeting the very world itself.
Meanwhile, in chapter 208, Yuki met her demise at the hands of Kenjaku. In a last-ditch effort to take out the ancient sorcerer, Yuki turned herself into a black hole after suffering a fatal wound.
Fans express disappointment over Gojo and Yuki never crossing paths
It is worth mentioning that Gojo and Yuki met a similar fate, both being fatally slashed in half by their adversaries. The resemblance between their personalities and their deaths left fans longing for a chance to witness an interaction between the two characters before their untimely demise.

With both Yuki and Gojo being revered as the most powerful sorcerers in the Jujutsu society, it's only natural that fans were hopeful for some kind of interaction between the two. Sadly, it seems that this will never come to fruition, as both sorcerers met tragic fates in their respective battles.
Fans around the world felt that it was a significant missed opportunity, as a meaningful interaction between the two most powerful sorcerers would have been a standout moment in the manga. Many expressed their disappointment with Gege Akutami for not allowing the two characters to meet in the overall story.
Despite meeting an untimely end, Yuki Tsukumo and Satoru Gojo are two of the most beloved characters from the Jujutsu Kaisen manga.
Throughout the story, both characters consistently exude a bright and cheerful demeanor in their interactions with others, endearing them to fans who eagerly awaited their interactions in the manga. Their reassuring presence and playful personalities make them extremely likable.
Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I'm a huge fan of Jujutsu Kaisen and I was really looking forward to seeing an epic encounter between Satoru Gojo and Yuki Tsukumo. These two characters are incredibly powerful and charismatic, and I think their interaction would have been a major highlight of the series. I'm really disappointed that Gege Akutami missed out on this opportunity, and I feel like it's a major missed opportunity for the series.
I think the reason why fans are so disappointed about this missed opportunity is because Gojo and Yuki are two of the most popular characters in the series. They're both incredibly strong and have unique personalities, and fans were really hoping to see them interact with each other. The fact that they both met such tragic fates makes it even more disappointing, as it feels like we'll never get to see them reach their full potential.
