The Calculated Destiny: Sukuna’s Target and Gojo’s Fate
From the very first page, Akutami had a vision that would tear the Jujutsu Kaisen fandom apart. Two characters – Megumi Fushiguro and Satoru Gojo – were always destined for extraordinary and tragic paths. Sukuna’s obsession with Megumi wasn’t a random plot twist, but a meticulously planned narrative arc that had been brewing since the manga’s inception.
Megumi Fushiguro: The Potential Unrealized
Dubbed the “Potential Man” by fans, Megumi represents a character whose depth was deliberately left unexplored. His complex background – from his relationship with Toji Fushiguro to his connections with the Zen’in clan – was intentionally kept at the periphery. Akutami’s approach suggests a deeper strategy: leaving just enough breadcrumbs to tantalize readers while maintaining an air of mystery.
Satoru Gojo: The Inevitable Sacrifice
Gojo’s journey was always heading towards a predetermined conclusion. As the most popular character in the series, his death was both shocking and somehow inevitable. Akutami deliberately constructed Gojo as the ultimate safety net for the other characters – a protective force whose removal would fundamentally alter the story’s landscape.
The Fandom’s Divided Reaction
The revelations have split the Jujutsu Kaisen community. Some praise Akutami’s long-term storytelling, while others criticize the seemingly rushed handling of these pivotal moments. The epilogue’s treatment of Gojo’s death, in particular, has been a point of heated debate.
Jujutsu Kaisen is more than just a manga – it’s a masterclass in calculated storytelling. Gege Akutami has proven that true narrative power lies not in shocking moments, but in the careful groundwork laid long before those moments arrive.
