Chilean Jujutsu Kaisen Fans Used Crunchyroll’s Billboard As A Memorial To Satoru Gojo, “The Strongest Forever”: Watch

The Santiago de Chile Metro witnessed a heartwarming and unique demonstration on Thursday, September 21, that left anime fans in awe. At two key stations, Manuel Montt and Universidad de Chile, where promotional billboards for the second season of the anime “Jujutsu Kaisen” are prominently displayed, fans left behind flowers and heartfelt messages. What makes this gesture even more special is that these displays were in honor of Satoru Gojo, an iconic character from the series. The Santiago Metro’s official account even acknowledged and confirmed this touching event.

Fans Unite to Celebrate Satoru Gojo

The images of this touching tribute have rapidly spread across various social media platforms. These promotional billboards, courtesy of Crunchyroll, feature Satoru Gojo, who has grown to symbolize the essence of “Jujutsu Kaisen.” Recent developments in the manga have elevated Gojo’s status, and fans couldn’t help but come together to pay their respects. At one of the stations, an altar was lovingly constructed in his memory. Meanwhile, another station was adorned with stickers carrying messages in his image, a testament to the profound impact this character has had on the fanbase.

A Shocking Twist in “Jujutsu Kaisen”

In a recent leak from Weekly Shonen Jump, an earth-shattering revelation has sent shockwaves through the “Jujutsu Kaisen” manga community. It pertains to none other than Gojo, an immensely beloved character. The chapter in question takes an unexpected turn, as Gojo engages in a confrontation with Sukuna, sharing his innermost thoughts before a spine-chilling final scene unveils an image of Gojo seemingly torn in half. This shocking twist has left fans in a whirlwind of emotions and sparked intense debates about its authenticity.

Jujutsu Kaisen Fans Face An Emotional Week

Jujutsu Kaisen fans are grappling with an emotionally turbulent week, one that can arguably be described as the most heart-wrenching in the series’ history. The latest episode of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2, episode 9, marked a pivotal moment as fans witnessed the sealing of none other than Satoru Gojo himself. For devotees of the series, this event had been dreaded for some time, given Gojo’s immense stature as the strongest sorcerer. The emotional rollercoaster didn’t end there, as manga readers were also plunged into shock. Just as they were celebrating their beloved character’s triumph over Ryomen Sukuna, Mangaka Gege Akutami unleashed a plot twist that left fans, to put it mildly, furious.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 235 seemed to suggest that Gojo had emerged victorious in his epic battle against Ryomen Sukuna, signaling the conclusion of their monumental clash. With this premise, anticipation for chapter 236 wasn’t particularly high. However, Gege Akutami had a surprise in store for fans. As spoilers for the chapter emerged online, it was revealed that while the battle indeed concluded, it was Gojo, not Sukuna, who had met his match. The chapter meticulously unveiled Gojo’s unexpected defeat, initially appearing as a flashback but eventually disclosing Gojo’s gruesome fate, as he was literally chopped in half.

Fans were left in shock and disbelief, as Gojo’s demise was the last thing they expected during the same week they had anticipated his triumph over Ryomen Sukuna. To compound their grief, this revelation coincided with Satoru Gojo’s sealing within the Prison Realm in the anime adaptation. Consequently, Jujutsu Kaisen fans mourned the loss of their beloved character in both the anime and manga simultaneously.

Speculation and theories ran rampant among fans, with many directing their frustration towards Mangaka Gege Akutami, suspecting that the creator had intentionally orchestrated these events to coincide within the same week. This suspicion gained traction because Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 236 could have been released a week earlier, but the manga took a one-week hiatus, ultimately aligning Gojo’s manga fate with his anime imprisonment.

Some fans even speculated that Akutami might have planned this narrative twist from the very beginning. During the Hidden Inventory arc in Jujutsu Kaisen season 2, Gojo had just escaped the Prison Realm and was locked in a fierce battle against Ryomen Sukuna. However, fate had a cruel twist, as the same week he was set to be sealed in the anime, he met his demise without context.

The ordeal led some fans to label Gojo as a fraud, despite his claims as the strongest sorcerer. Previous assertions of victory against the King of Curses appeared hollow when he was confronted by Sukuna and ultimately fell. The perception emerged that Gojo, despite his incredible strength, was an overrated character, with few instances of him decisively defeating his adversaries, as most of them managed to survive and return.

For now, fans are left in suspense, eagerly awaiting Gege Akutami’s next moves regarding Gojo’s character. Nanami’s cryptic mention of choosing the path to the North or South adds another layer of intrigue, leaving fans to wonder if Gojo might resurface in the series in a different form. The Jujutsu Kaisen fanbase is bracing itself for what promises to be an eventful and emotionally charged journey ahead.

Final Thoughts

The Santiago de Chile Metro transformed into an unexpected hub of emotions as “Jujutsu Kaisen” fans united to honor Satoru Gojo, leaving behind tokens of their admiration and love at the Manuel Montt and Universidad de Chile stations. This heartwarming gesture serves as a testament to the profound impact of anime on people’s lives, reminding us that these fictional worlds and characters can become cherished symbols of inspiration and unity.
