Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 253 spoilers revealed how the upcoming chapter was set to start with a flashback scene that mirrored the infamous "Who is Satoru Gojo to you?" scene. However, this time, the question was, "who was the strongest Grade 1 Sorcerer?" Some of the people who were shown to respond to this question were Mei Mei, Satoru Gojo, and Nanami Kento.

This scene left fans ecstatic as they hadn't seen either character since Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 236. That was the chapter in which Satoru Gojo passed away. While Gojo was bound to appear in his death chapter, fans also got to see Nanami Kento, although he died back in the manga's chapter 120.

Fans were overjoyed that Satoru Gojo and Kento Nanami made their return to the manga as they completely chose to ignore what the two characters were talking about.

They were so happy that many fans even chose to forgive manga creator Gege Akutami for all the moments the manga left them depressed in the previous years. This proved how desperate fans were to see the two characters in the manga.

One fan even joked about how they were thinking of doing something irreversible to themselves. However, after receiving crumbs of Gojo and Nanami, they decided to postpone their decision.

The reason why they said that they postponed the decision and not canceled it is because they were certain that manga creator Gege Akutami was capable of making them depressed again.

Meanwhile, other fans were happy with the manga series' progress in 2024. Not only did they get to see Gojo and Nanami again, but also witnessed the first Jujutsu Kaisen cover for Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. Hence, they were hopeful for a great 2024.

Fans of other series were astonished to see how much Jujutsu Kaisen fans cared about Satoru Gojo and Kento Nanami. The sheer number of fans that were expressing their joy on X (formerly Twitter) was just crazy.

Other fans were so fixated and happy about the two characters that they did not care about the other developments in the rest of the chapter.

That said, some fans were angry at manga creator Gege Akutami for showing Satoru and Kento in the chapter. This is because their appearance reminded them of their death scenes, forcing them to sob for them all over again.
