Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 236 unites the fandom against Gege Akutami

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 236 spoilers have just been released, and fans on X (formerly Twitter) are in a state of uproar. Following Gojo's demise and Sukuna's triumph, numerous fans have resorted to expressing threats and disdain towards Gege Akutami. Many have taken to cursing Gege, while also suggesting that Gojo's defeat solely stems from Gege Akutami's personal animosity towards him.

It can be observed that while it's become common to criticize mangakas for certain plot points these days, similar occurrences took place following the conclusion of Attack on Titan, Naruto, and various other series. However, there have been instances where manga authors have considered ending their works due to the hate and backlash they face.

In chapter 235, it was expected that Gojo would emerge victorious in the fight's finale. However, chapter 236 opens with Geto surprising Gojo by saying "Yo" and expressing his disappointment. The following panel transitions to their conversation, where Gojo informs his students, "You will be all alone when you die."

Gojo expresses his desire that his encounter with Geto is merely a figment of his imagination, thereby confirming that it is not a flashback. Geto responds nonchalantly with a dismissive "Who cares?" Gojo then attempts to broach the topic of his father, but ultimately abandons it, stating that he entrusted Shoko to handle such matters.

Subsequently, Geto inquires about Sukuna's condition. Gojo acknowledges that Sukuna is incredibly formidable, despite not fully exerting himself in their battle. Momentarily, Gojo displays a trace of uncertainty, expressing doubt as to whether he would have been able to prevail against Sukuna even without Megumi's cursed technique.

Gojo then expresses his sympathy for Sukuna, as he acknowledges that Sukuna's defeat didn't require him to exert his full power, which sparked some envy in Geto. This particular scene provoked a strong reaction from numerous fans due to the fact that Gege Akutami had previously established Gojo and Sukuna as being evenly matched. Several fans have speculated that this choice to have Gojo experience a loss came as a result of the overwhelmingly positive feedback received after chapter 235.

The confirmation of Gojo's demise in the following panel resonates as he expresses gratitude for being defeated by someone more powerful, rather than succumbing to the grasp of time or illness. This profound sentiment has deeply touched numerous fans, particularly those who wholeheartedly support Gojo.

In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 236, Gojo is depicted as being cut in half, with his upper body lifelessly lying on the floor. The narrative then transitions to Sukuna who elaborates on Mahoraga's adaptation and expresses his anticipation for Mahoraga to surpass Gojo's ability of infinity.

Gojo's confirmed demise left fans devastated. Numerous individuals expressed frustration towards the author, Gege, for constantly teasing Gojo's survival. Certain fans even went as far as stating that they would cease reading the manga entirely.

Sukuna then looks at Gojo's lifeless body and says:

"Infinity doesn't matter if the entire world can be cut"

Final thoughts

The subsequent section of chapter 236 depicts Sukuna bidding a heartfelt farewell to Gojo, assuring him that he will forever remain ingrained in his memory. Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 236 concludes with Kashimo's unwavering approach towards Sukuna, exhibiting no trace of sadness over Gojo's demise.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 236 concluded the much-anticipated battle between Gojo and Sukuna, resulting in Gojo's demise and the entrance of Kashimo to take on Sukuna. While this chapter confirms Gojo's death, there remains the possibility that his fate is not yet sealed, and he may be revived or somehow preserved through RCT, considering that his head is still intact and attached to his body.

Although it is customary for manga fandoms to unite in criticizing the mangaka for their choices regarding the story, similar to what occurred in the Attack on Titan fandom, it is important to emphasize that issuing death threats to the author over a fictional narrative is never acceptable behavior from fans.
