word of advice : Contains major spoilers for chapter # 260 of Jujutsu Kaisen .
Summary
Jujutsu Kaisen ’s previous chapter teases the potential return of Sukuna ’s strongest antagonist , Gojo Satoru , who may have returned to get the last laugh . Gojo ’s return inJujutsu Kaisenhas been a highly argue topic among fans of the series ever since his tragical dying in chapter # 236 . While some have been extremely dismissive of the possibility , others have been patiently expect Gojo ’s eventual resurrection , and the late chapter has effectively fueled these hopes with one remarkable board .
Chapter # 260 ofJujutsu KaisenteasesGojo Satoru may have return to make one last stand against Sukunaor to bring through Megumi . In the chapter , Sukuna is momentarily overcome byYuji and Todo ’s rag team duowhen he sees a faint silhouette in the aloofness which the storyteller describes as a vision of the man Sukuna had buried with his own men and a spook of immense strength .
While it is morelikely that Sukuna is simply hallucinatingwhile on the sharpness of frustration , Gojo ’s replication may have been prefigure through clever symbolism ever since the chapter of his death . Chapter # 260 also ends with a foggy close - up of what appear to be Gojo ’s face with one of his optic cast in phantasma , resurrecting a popular theory that Gojo may render re - enlightened much like he did after initially losing to Toji .
Jujutsu Kaisen brings back a beloved character and also hints at another rooter - pet submarine sandwich ’s yield , which could be the key to winning against Sukuna .
Jujutsu Kaisen Opens the Door for Gojo’s Return
Created by Gege Akutami, chapter #260, “Inhuman Makyo Shinjuku Showdown, Part 32”
Other than the facial expression at the end looking eerily similar to Gojo , the narrator ’s verbal description of the physique as one of " immense strength"can only refer to Gojo Satoru , who is famously known as the Strongest Sorcerer . Considering the lengths Sukuna had to go to for defeat him , only Gojo could sincerely unnerve Sukuna at this point . Gojo even finagle to make Sukuna awkward once before in chapter # 230 , and his return now would for certain write bother for the King of Curses .
That enunciate , Yuji can be seen trying to claw out Sukuna ’s affectionateness right before the King of Curses visit the persona of Gojo , suggest that Sukuna may simply be seeing a mirage as he seesaw on the edge of death . The fact that the chapter come to to it as a vision also supports the idea that Sukuna may be excited and that Gege Akutami may simply be play with fan .
One ridiculous yet not entirely out of the question option is thatTakaba may have something to do with the visionas part of a cruel joke on Sukuna and reader likewise . The comedian has n’t been seen or heard from ever since thebattle against Kenjakuconcluded , but even though Takaba may still be primed to move into the fray against Sukuna , it does not make signified for him to enter the disturbance and get in Todo and Yuji ’s way of life .
It is alsonot possible for Gojo to return as a cursed spiritlike Naoya Zenin as he was killed using jujutsu . Chapter # 236 also make it quite clear that Gojo has die without any declination , which closes the room access on him returning as a vengeful spirit for good . If Kenjaku had still been active , one might have debate the possibility ofKenjaku take over Gojo ’s body , but reckon as Kenjaku was shoot down not long after Gojo and the injuries that Gojo suffered , this too seems unlikely . Having said that , considering the various hints scattered across the manga and other media , it is difficult to entirely dismiss the idea that Gojo may have in truth render .
Gojo’s Return May Have Been Subtly Foreshadowed by Nanami’s Message
The True Meaning of “Go North” Supports Gojo’s Resurrection
In chapter # 236 , Nanami interrelate a funny conversation with Mei Mei wherein she advised Nanami on leaving the land by telling him togo south to rest his old ego and principal north to start anew . The meaning of Nanami ’s words is dual and supposedly presents Gojo with a choice of whether he want to embrace death and fall out on ; satisfied with the person he was during his life , or return and become a new person .
The concept of " going north " has interesting connotations in Buddhism , as Buddha is say to have postulate seven stone’s throw face Second Earl of Guilford after his nativity , with a lotus bloom blooming wherever he step . Interestingly , exactlyseven lotus flowersmake an appearance in chapter # 236 . The bloom appear in the background as Gojo excuse how his status as the strongest mean that no one could really understand him , but only admire him for his strength , just as people admire flowers for their beauty .
A promotional video posted by Shōnen Jump for the release of Volume # 26 also prominently feature the lotus flower in the thumbnail before it premier . The lotus is heavily associated with reincarnation and enlightenment , so the control panel boast the seven flowers together with Nanami ’s talk of the town about going N may hint at Gojo going through the seven stages of enlightenment and returning toJujutsu Kaisenre - enlightened .
" Satoru " also quite literally means enlightenment , or better yet , " to make out " or " to understand . "
Shōnen Jump’s Peculiar 12-Hour Long Video Also Hints at Gojo’s Rebirth
There May be More to the Airport Scene From Chapter #236
The promotional video posted by Shonen Jump drops many more intimation about Gojo ’s rebirth and enlightenment by expanding on the airport scene from chapter # 236 in the post - credits . The video designate the empty airdrome and the planing machine seen in the concluding jury of the airport scene in the manga . first of all , it is important to notice that theairport itself does not represent the hereafter but a oblivion between biography and deathmuch like King ’s Cross Station in Harry Potter .
Having established that , according to an rendition by YouTuber @ManganimistYT , the empty airport which was not shown in the manga may mean that Gojo has already made his choice of whether to go Second Earl of Guilford or south . This is further evidenced by the fact thatGojo is seen waving goodbye to Getotowards the conclusion of the prospect in the manga . As such , the fact that the planer has n’t yet taken off at the end of the view might also typify that Gojo has n’t drop dead on to the other side yet .
Chapter # 230 also hints at Gojo ’s likely Renaissance through Sukuna . In the prescribed translation , Sukuna simply call Gojo mediocre , but in Japanese , Sukuna uses the word " bonbu(凡夫 ) " which is used to touch to an uninstructed someone in Buddhism .

Granted , chapter # 236 is titled " Go South " and Gojo expresses both his expiation and his lack of regret quite clearly . However , as Gojo restate in the chapter using the doctrine of analogy of flowers , Gojo has spent his entire life wondering whether it is his forcefulness that defines his identity .
As Geto puts it , he has never been certain whether he isGojo Satoru because he is the strongestor whether he is the solid because he is Gojo Satoru . Now that Gojo has lose to Sukuna , hisidentity as the secure has been undress away . Gojo can now let go of his old self that was defined by his strength , chief Frederick North , as Nanami explained , and be born anew .
Overall , it is still indecipherable howGojo may have returnedafter being ignore in half bySukuna ’s stroke that cuts the world . Subtle hints in the manga currently channelize to Gojo sacrifice the Six Eyes or at least one of his optic in a binding vow . Gojo ’s right eye in especial may be the one he sacrifices , seeing as his right eye is hurl in shadow in chapter # 235 as well as the latest chapter . An singular instance featured in book # 26 also focuses heavily on Gojo ’s good oculus , and no context is provided for the exemplification at any full stop in the bulk , leaving thing up to speculation . Nonetheless , only the coming chapter will be capable to shed Christ Within on whetherJujutsu Kaisen ’s beloved hero has truly riposte or not .
