#JJKSPOILERS Gojo Satoru’s return is all but officially confirmed... But...he may not return in the way you want him to. This post will be divided into parts. It is LONG, and thoroughly detailed. The parts need to be read in chronological order for best understanding. So, lets begin. ————————————— Part 1: The Spark ————————————— A week ago, a new music video was released by Eve, created for JJK specifically. There is one extremely important detail—sprinkled along CANON details, as the MV is FULL of them—which is necessary for you guys to understand. "Avant" contained all sorts of CANON references: expressed with detailed, spooky imagery. The MV contains CANON references. ONLY. So, this music video was created with intention to represent canon, pre-existing JJK references. Feel free to watch it for yourself. ALL references that manga readers are familiar with. Except ONE (which I will talk about soon)... Here are some of the references we see, just to further support the point that everything shown is CANON: • Yuta, Rika’s ring, and the power of “love” that we saw in JJK 0 • The box with Sukuna’s finger that was in Yuji’s school (Many Sukuna references in general throughout the video: his eyes, fingers, “teeth”, etc.) • The Cursed Techniques of: Megumi, Nobara, Inumaki, Hanami, Nanami, Mimiko, Sukuna, and Yorozu • The Prison Realm (shown many times) • Sukuna’s Domain Expansion hand sign • The Death Womb Paintings • The Door of Death that appears before Hanami, Jogo and Dagon in Shibuya • An image meant to resemble Noritoshi Kamo • When we see Yorozu’s CT shown, we also see hearts for the theme of “Love” she presented, as well as the heart being broken at the end • Domain Expansions of: Megumi, Kenjaku and Sukuna • A fish chopped in half (meant to symbolize Gojo, as Sukuna calls him a nameless fish at the beginning of their fight) with “Six Eyes” on it • The barrier for the domain battle that Sukuna & Gojo have • The Prison Realm being split in half Etc… So, we agree we have seen all of these, right? But, there was ONE part that stuck out to me… The single part in the entire video, that held a very important detail... That wasn’t confirmed “canon” / didn’t really make sense in terms of “canon” (which once again, I do not exaggerate when I say EVERYTHING ELSE in the video did). In one part of the video, there’s a clip of Gojo’s eyes… and when you realize WHAT happened, you realize what it MEANS The clip fades in from a black screen: • And right away…CHAINS appear, hovering over a portrait of GOJO’S eyes (as we can see they are his, from the sky imagery that moves dynamically inside them) • After they are on screen for a few seconds, they disappear and his eyes just stare ahead • And then, ONE of them is destroyed. ONE SINGLE EYE of the pair that are clearly Gojo Satoru’s • To reiterate: One eye is destroyed, AFTER we see chains over them.... And what is the one thing have we seen constantly associated with chains in JJK (in the manga AND the anime)? BINDING VOWS. The MV scene following the aforementioned clip (in the same sequence of clips), is meant to reference Mei: • A hand with a coin, and bird feathers appearing “over” the portrait, the way the chains did for Gojo's eyes... • And we already know that birds are associated with Mei, due to her technique. So, this tells us that the choice of chains being put over Gojo’s eyes was INTENTIONAL: it’s not like chains were shown during any other point in the video. If you don’t believe me, in the thread is a clip from JJK S1 (screenshots are attached to this tweet), where Sukuna is explaining how binding vows work to Yuji. You can see that even in this clip, that is literally Sukuna explaining binding vows, the chains move across the screen in the EXACT SAME MANNER as the chains move over Gojo’s eyes… and after that, one of them is destroyed. We’ve also seen chains used in imagery talking about binding vows at multiple points in the manga. Once again, this ENTIRE video is FULL of CANON REFERENCES that are all explainable by details of the story…except the choice for putting BINDING VOW CHAINS over the eyes of Gojo Satoru. Gojo Satoru is going to ACTUALLY give up one of his eyes to continue living. He will either return: a) unable to use cursed energy at all b) able to “use” cursed energy in combat, but unable to use his cursed technique itself c) with a temporary boost, caused by giving up one of his eyes / his technique, and then never being able to use his Six Eyes power/CT/CE again… We know this is a real possibility as well, because we have seen foreshadowing of Gojo losing an eye / constantly being drawn with one eye • in OPs, the manga... • even a bonus chapter has Gojo his blindfold on, and there's ONE single eye drawn on it (it was a funny face bonus chapter) • AND: in fact, we saw Gojo’s left eye darkened out when he used his Hollow Purple against Sukuna...his VERY last move And we know this binding vow is possible, because this feat is very relevant at the moment....it was JUST mentioned in JJK 244….cause it happened to MIWA. ————————————— Part 2: The Binding Vow ————————————— Since Gojo’s death, there have been numerous references to him, in all sorts of ways. Chapter 244 of Jujutsu Kaisen brought the latest one—and reading everything above, a HUGE one. Miwa has barely spoken this entire fight. But all of a sudden, she is discussed in a flashback from Chapter 244— because she made a BINDING VOW in Shibuya. A binding vow where she would use her “katana" one more time, at her maximum potential… at the cost of never using it again. Us readers had ABSOLUTELY NO EXPLANATION for Miwa and what happened with her, since she disappeared from the story for so long…until now. And Gege did this on purpose, to give us a hint on what Gojo did.... WHY do you think it was SO randomly brought up in Chapter 244 that Miwa made a binding vow in Shibuya. And WHY do you think that was added in the first place? There could’ve been many reasons Gege made up to excuse Miwa from battle. AND....... RANDOMLY during the fight between Gojo and Sukuna, Sukuna thinks to himself how Gojo’s Hollow Purple is about 120% strength with a binding vow… But… We’ve never seen Gojo make a binding vow. So WHY WOULD SUKUNA randomly say that. ONCE AGAIN, WHY would SUKUNA randomly mention GOJO USING A BINDING VOW TO INCREASE HIS POWER…when we have NEVER SEEN GOJO SATORU MAKE, OR EVEN MENTION MAKING, A BINDING VOW BEFORE IN THE ENTIRE SERIES AND it was JUST mentioned that Miwa lost her powers due to a binding vow… WHEN WE HAVE NEVER HEARD of a sorceror creating a binding vow AT THE COST OF LOSING POWERS in the SERIES… until THAT moment. These were all hints for Gojo making his own binding vow, to save his life. A few subtle connections between Gojo and Miwa to strengthen the argument, that all of this was purposeful by Gege: • Miwa was always to be very kind to him. She’s one of the only characters that don’t appear to ever be annoyed by Gojo • Miwa is the first person we see using Simple Domain in the series, and we see Gojo use it for the first time (since childhood) against Sukuna, out of the blue • And another detail that I think held more merit to it than we realized: During the “What is your type” Jujusanpo, Gojo says………Miwa? And NO ONE understood why (obviously it wasn’t in an infatuated way, he is a grown man) • But after this, I think it might’ve just been another subtle hint to show that maybe they were just similar type of people— • Both being the type of person that would end up making a binding vow that ended with them both losing their fighting capability Bringing me to my final point: ————————————— Part 3: Gojo Satoru will come back as...Gojo Satoru ————————————— All of this circled back to: Geto and Gojo splitting ways in Hidden Inventory arc. And Geto asking Gojo: “Are you the strongest because you’re Gojo Satoru? Or are you Gojo Satoru because you’re the strongest?” • Even in THIS panel below, the focus is on Gojo's RIGHT EYE......(the same eye that was oddly darkened while Gojo used Hollow Purple: it's HIS right side, even though it looks like his left side to us) It was foreshadowing for a day that would eventually come, of “The Strongest” Gojo Satoru losing his powers Narratively, this also serves as a firm reason for the students to get more shine. As the theme of the younger generation taking over has been mentioned since the start of the series, BY Gojo • This is why Gojo would not mind losing his powers to live. His DREAM was never to be “The Strongest”, it was to cultivate a new generation • If he does come back with a temporary power-up, he’ll probably kill one enemy and then it will fade away, and THEN he will be powerless/unable to use CE/CT Back when Choso and Yuki faced Kenjaku, Yuki said to Choso right before death: • “You died here today, as a curse…. Now go on and live, as a human” And when Sukuna faced Gojo, he said to Gojo… • “Goodbye, THE STRONGEST…”, calls him mediocre and (attempts) to expand his domain. • But fans learned that, in true Japanese language, Sukuna actually used the word for “UNENLIGHTENED” Sukuna literally did KILL (or almost kill) "The Strongest"... But his binding vow allows him to return, as Satoru Gojo Gojo thought he was the “honored” / “enlightened” one in Hidden Inventory. • But this is when Gojo will attain his TRUE enlightenment—which is letting go of his ego and his powers • And he will choose to come back to the world as Gojo Satoru rather than the strongest Nanami said by going north, you become ANEW. Gojo would need to let go of his old identity as "The Strongest" (his powers) to go north. And to top it all off, I noticed something the other day that I was unsure of sharing… But after this theory it makes sense: If Gojo really performed a binding vow to sacrifice one of his eyes to live, we may have already started to see one of his eyes start to fade….. Because when you look closely at the panel that revealed his “death” in 236, you can see Gege purposely drew subtle, thin lines over his RIGHT eye. • These lines are meant to depict the eye losing its light • And if you look closely, these lines are NOT over his right eye at all. This is the same eye that we saw darkened right before Gojo used his Hollow Purple against Sukuna. This was all paved out from the beginning by Gege.... Geto’s question of “Are you the strongest because you’re Gojo Satoru?” shows it was always meant to come. It makes TOO much sense. And we also see Yuji ask Gojo how to be "The Strongest" when they first begin training together. His title was always meant to be passed on • Gojo’s final battle was put against Sukuna, so we could see our glorious king truly shine before his powers were put to rest (Unless we get lucky and he has a temporary power-up upon return, so we can see him go crazy one last time) • And as much as I’d love to see our glorious king be able to come back and wipe the floor with his enemies, I also know it doesn’t make as much sense narratively, as THIS does. I would rather him be able to live a long life, and find his true happiness, than die as “The Strongest” Kashimo even says while he watches the battle, that Gojo vs. Sukuna is a battle for Gojo’s SAKE. Was Gojo’s sake his "death"? • No. It was to free him from the curse of “The Strongest”, always feeling lonely and misunderstood by others That is why we see the events happen in this sequence: • Gojo is IN the airport • And we see "the end" of the airport scene... • Then, we see Gojo on the ground • One of his eyes are starting to lose its light (he has already made the binding vow at this point, because he is alive) • He smiles at Sukuna's praise (once again, showing he's alive) But wait... If being in the airport meant that he's dead like everyone says.... How did he smile AFTER we saw the airport scene?... HE IS COMING
