Unveiling the Ultimate Revelation: Gojo's Inevitable Return in Jujutsu Kaisen Explained!

Since Satoru Gojo's demise in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, fans have been speculating about the possible return of the most powerful sorcerer. Numerous theories have emerged online, each one building upon the previous. However, the latest chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen introduces a completely new theory regarding Gojo's comeback.

In the previous chapter, the focus shifted to Kenjaku as he hunted down the remaining players of the Culling Game. He brutally eliminated a female participant and Iori Hazenoki. Soon after, Fumihiko Takaba approached him, challenging him to a fight.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 239 may have hinted at Gojo's return

Kenjaku was featured in chapter 239 of the manga, as illustrated by Shueisha.

In the most recent installment of Jujutsu Kaisen, Kenjaku embarked on a pursuit of the remaining participants in the Culling Game. However, just as he was poised to engage in a confrontation with Iori Hazenoki, Kenjaku opted to divert his attention to Sukuna's battle against Gojo, which he accessed via his mobile device. Although the ancient sorcerer expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the intense clash, his reaction left much to be desired.

One must bear in mind that Satoru Gojo was regarded as the most formidable threat by Kenjaku. To counter this, he orchestrated the Shibuya Incident with the intention of imprisoning the Strongest Sorcerer within the Prison Realm. However, surprisingly, when Satoru Gojo was ultimately eliminated, Kenjaku's reaction was unexpectedly subdued.

Kenjaku said:

"Heh! Lookin' Good!"

Upon discovering that Kenjaku's only response to Gojo's death was the aforementioned quote, fans became convinced that something was amiss with the ancient curse user. The reaction to the passing was excessively lackluster and ambiguous, hinting that Suguru Geto, in fact, must have been the individual reacting to Gojo's demise in that particular scene.

Following Geto's attempted choking of Kenjaku in Shibuya, Mangaka Gege Akutami dismissed the significance of the scene by likening it to a headless chicken displaying residual signs of life.

However, the recent scene featuring Kenjaku has left fans questioning the accuracy of the Mangaka's claims. They are convinced that Geto retained some level of control over his body, leading them to believe that he must have uttered the words, "Lookin' Good."

According to fan speculation, Geto presumably witnessed an indication that Gojo had not perished, but instead had somehow managed to survive. Consequently, it is assumed that he expressed his joy upon witnessing his friend's survival.

However, as Kenjaku began emulating Geto during the Shibuya Incident's climax, it is possible that the ancient sorcerer was unaware that he had spoken Geto's response aloud.

This has led fans to believe that Suguru Geto's subconscious may still exist within Kenjaku. Furthermore, there is speculation that Satoru Gojo might make a comeback in the manga soon. However, this could also occur later in the ongoing series as Yuji Itadori has just entered the battlefield.
