Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 236 took an unexpected turn, leaving fans in shock. It was expected to kickstart a new arc following Gojo’s epic victory over Sukuna in the previous chapter, but the spoilers revealed something entirely different. Brace yourselves because here’s a glimpse into what went down.
Before we dive in, a quick heads up: This article contains spoilers from Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 236.
Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 236 – Gojo’s Emotional Farewell
The chapter begins with Gojo in what appears to be an illusion or vision. In this surreal encounter, he reunites with Geto, and their exchange is both poignant and surprising. Geto casually greets Gojo with a simple “Yo,” leaving Gojo taken aback.
In this moment, Gojo reflects on his earlier words to his students about Jujutsu Sorcerers meeting their end alone. However, as he stands there facing Geto, he realizes that this may not hold true in the end.
Gojo confides in Geto, sharing his concerns about the consequences of his death, particularly in relation to his father. However, he’s entrusted Shoko with handling that matter. Geto, curious about Gojo’s battle with Sukuna, inquires about it.
Gojo’s response is revealing. He acknowledges Sukuna’s formidable strength, even speculating that Sukuna might have emerged victorious even without Megumi’s Cursed technique. What’s surprising is that Sukuna didn’t fight at full strength, and Gojo feels that he couldn’t truly savor the battle.
Gojo expresses his wish for his friend (Geto) to have been there, standing alongside his students, cheering him on during this epic showdown. The chapter also brings back Nanami, who reminds Geto about Gojo’s commitment to living life to the fullest.
It’s not about protecting the Jujutsu Society; it’s about the sheer joy Gojo derives from battle. Gojo is content that he met his end at the hands of someone stronger, sparing him from a fate at the hands of disease.
Nanami, although critical of how Gojo met his end, can’t help but feel sympathy. Gojo’s question about how it was for Nanami brings back Mei Mei’s advice about “going north” to discover new facets of oneself and “going south” to stay true to who you are. Nanami chose the latter, expressing gratitude to Haibara for being there for him.
Gojo bids farewell to Geto, Yaga, Nanami, Haibara, Riko, and Kuroi, and the setting shifts to an airport waiting room, likely in Okinawa.
The Mysterious Ending
The chapter then takes a mysterious turn as it cuts to Shinjuku, where Gojo’s lifeless body lies on the concrete, presumably lifeless. It’s a shocking and emotional cliffhanger that leaves readers with many questions.
As we eagerly await the official release on Monday, September 11, 2023, in Shueisha’s Shonen Jump issue 41, the fate of Gojo and the direction of the story remain uncertain.
