Satoru Gojo's victory was expected. On Crunchyroll in 2023, Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 revisited Gojo and Geto's past and adapted the Shibuya Incident.

In numerous chapters, series author Gege Akutami added unexpected twists. Weekly Shonen Jump resumes in 2024. Jujutsu Kaisen and anime fans love Gojo.

Fans like several facets of Gojo's personality. Though he's Jujutsu Kaisen's most powerful sorcerer and strong mentally and physically, he struggled to succeed.
