Since the tragic demise of Gojo in Chapter 236 of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, the heroes have been locked in a relentless struggle against Sukuna, the King of Curses. Despite their valiant efforts, Sukuna's unmatched strength has led to a series of defeats, underscoring the dire need for Gojo's return to the fray.
Fans have aptly coined this recurring cycle of battles as the 'Sukuna Cycle,' where each new challenger impresses Sukuna briefly before succumbing to his overwhelming power. The unparalleled performance of Gojo against Sukuna positions his return as a crucial turning point in the ongoing conflict.
The Post-Gojo Era
Following Gojo's fall, the balance of power shifted dramatically in Sukuna's favor. Despite a fierce battle, the Limitless sorcerer met his match in the King of Curses, who outmaneuvered him with a deep understanding of Cursed Energy and adept utilization of Megumi's Ten Shadows technique. Sukuna's mastery of Mahoraga's abilities proved decisive in claiming victory over Gojo.
Subsequently, Kashimo stepped up to challenge Sukuna, wielding Kamutoke, his ancient weapon. While Kashimo displayed remarkable prowess, Sukuna's resurgence in his Heian Era form ultimately led to Kashimo's defeat. The subsequent entry of Yuji and Higuruma saw a valiant effort against Sukuna, culminating in a failed attempt to vanquish the malevolent force.
As the confrontation unfolded with successive combatants like Yuta, Rika, and Maki joining the fray, Sukuna's dominance remained unshaken. The heroes' struggle against the relentless onslaught of Sukuna underscores the urgent necessity of Gojo's return to restore the balance.
The Imperative of Gojo's Revival
While Jujutsu High's efforts against Sukuna have been commendable, they pale in comparison to Gojo's formidable stand. The modern era's most potent sorcerer demonstrated unparalleled prowess in his confrontation with Sukuna, managing to unsettle the King of Curses and his allies simultaneously.
In a protracted battle spanning 13 enthralling chapters, Gojo showcased his mastery of techniques and Cursed Energy, instilling rare trepidation in Sukuna. Despite assertions that Sukuna held back and retained formidable abilities, Gojo's resilience and combat finesse posed a formidable challenge.
Gojo's strategic combat style and relentless assault left a lasting impact on Sukuna, limiting his restorative capabilities and temporarily incapacitating his Domain Expansion. The imminent return of Gojo to align forces with Jujutsu High may well tip the scales in favor of the heroes in their arduous battle against Sukuna.
The Path to Gojo's Return
The anticipation surrounding Gojo's resurrection has been a focal point of fan discussions following his demise. Clues hinting at his potential return, such as the symbolic lotus flowers observed during his passing, fuel speculation about his eventual comeback.
Noteworthy interactions, like Gojo's cryptic dialogue with Nanami, allude to a future decision that could pave the way for his revival. Recent developments, including Ui Ui's actions and the involvement of Shoko, have sparked theories regarding a possible method to bring Gojo back into the conflict.
