The bond between Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto in Jujutsu Kaisen is a captivating tale of friendship turned sour. Initially united by camaraderie, their divergent worldviews drive a wedge between them.
Amidst Sukuna's complex interactions with Yuji and Megumi, the clash of ideals between Gojo and Geto plays a pivotal role in Jujutsu Kaisen's narrative. As their beliefs collide, their once unbreakable bond starts to crumble, reshaping the dynamics of the Jujutsu realm.
Meet Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru
Gojo and Geto are formidable sorcerers with a deep friendship and exceptional abilities in Jujutsu Kaisen. Gojo, a playful yet arrogant sorcerer, is revered as the series' strongest character. Born with the rare Six Eyes and Limitless cursed technique, Gojo possesses unmatched analytical skills and mastery over spatial manipulation.
On the other hand, Geto is a skilled sorcerer proficient in cursed techniques and the manipulation of high-grade cursed objects. His unique ability to consume and harness cursed spirits' powers adds another layer to his formidable arsenal.
Diverging Paths from Shared Beliefs
Initially portrayed as childhood friends and standout students at Tokyo Jujutsu High School, Gojo and Geto share a skepticism towards the Jujutsu society's leadership. While their life philosophies differ, they maintain a profound mutual respect and understanding.
Despite their ideological disparities, the genuine bond and camaraderie between them transcend their conflicting viewpoints. Gojo advocates for reform within the Jujutsu society, whereas Geto, disillusioned by the suffering caused by cursed spirits, seeks a radical change.
Geto's loss of faith in the system's ability to safeguard everyone leads him to adopt radical beliefs, viewing sorcerers as superior beings. This ideological shift sparks his crusade to reshape a world capable of combating cursed spirits, setting the stage for a clash with Gojo, who believes in a different approach to protecting humanity.
The Crucial Turning Point in Gojo and Geto's Journey
The tragic demise of Riko Amanai during the Star Plasma mission, overseen by their mentor Masamichi Yaga, marks a significant juncture in the sorcerers' relationship. Assigned to escort Riko back to Tokyo Jujutsu High for a crucial ritual, Geto and Gojo face a devastating failure when Riko falls victim to Toji's attack.
Despite their formidable skills, they couldn't prevent Riko's untimely death, planting the seeds of despair in Geto's heart. Following this mission, Gojo opts for solo assignments, diverging from the usual Gojo-Geto duo. This decision leads Geto on a solitary path of continuous spirit exorcisms, triggering an internal conflict that propels him towards a dark descent.
As Gojo focuses on personal growth and resilience, Geto succumbs to darkness, questioning the ethics of protecting the vulnerable against cursed spirits. Witnessing the tragedies caused by cursed spirits deepens Geto's resolve to challenge the existing Jujutsu system, ultimately driving him towards extremist actions and a transformation into a formidable antagonist.
