The alleged spoilers and raw scans for the upcoming issue of author and illustrator Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen manga series were released on Wednesday, May 24, 2023. Therein, fans saw the fight between Satoru Gojo and Ryomen Sukuna continue, with each seemingly giving their best shot to defeat the other, despite the circumstances.
In fact, Gojo himself even confirmed this, according to the latest alleged spoilers and raw scans. In the Jujutsu Kaisen leaks, fans saw Gojo flat out say that he was okay with hitting Megumi because he looks so much like his father, Toji Fushiguro. Even more shocking is that, Gojo admits this of his own volition, rather than being goaded into saying this by Sukuna.
Unsurprisingly, Jujutsu Kaisen fans are going absolutely crazy over these latest words from Gojo, responding with a mix of astonishment, disbelief, and hilarity. As a result, the series’ fandom has been put into a very interesting position, with every fan involved in discussing the latest leaks seemingly having a different opinion on Gojo’s statement.
Gojo’s promise that he can hit Megumi owing to his resemblance to Toji has Jujutsu Kaisen fans traumatized
Fan reaction
The latest spoilers and raw scans for Jujutsu Kaisen claim that the issue exclusively focuses on Sukuna and Gojo’s fight, showing the two going at one another mercilessly. Likewise, this demonstrates that Gojo’s bravado in claiming he can fight Megumi with no problem was far from a lie. Per the raw scans, Gojo can be seen smiling the entire time as he dukes it out with the body of his adoptive son.
While Sukuna is also clearly and obviously enjoying this fight, this factor goes somewhat under the radar, due to how expected and unsurprising it is. After all, no fans questioned Sukuna’s resolve while going into this fight, as they instead focused on Gojo and whether or not he can commit to killing Megumi. Obviously, based on the latest leaks, this appears to be of no concern whatsoever.
That being said, future Jujutsu Kaisen issues could reveal that Gojo has an actual, legitimate plan to kill Sukuna without destroying Megumi’s body or killing his soul. Likewise, this may create a situation in which both Sukuna’s death and Megumi’s revival can be achieved in one fell swoop. Although fans feel this is certainly optimistic and borderline idealistic, it’s nevertheless possible, as of this article’s writing.
For now, fans are more focused on sharing their reactions to Gojo’s unbelievable mentality heading into this fight. Some fans are responding simply by making hilarious memes which highlight the ridiculousness of Gojo genuinely being willing to kill Megumi because he looks like Toji. Most of these reactions use meme formats to express displeasure or deep concern with this latest development.
Others are instead pointing to source material to explain why they feel that Gojo isn’t actually okay with killing Megumi. While he may choose to do so anyway out of necessity, such source material is being used to argue that it will actually be a very painful and displeasurable act for Gojo. Nonetheless, he must be the person to do it, as he’s the only one in the series currently strong enough and willing to oppose and defeat Sukuna.
