Satoru Gojo is one of the most powerful sorcerers in Jujutsu Kaisen. He is an all-rounder with immense amounts of cursed energy, high intellect, and impressive battle prowess. But given the recent events in the manga, is Gojo dead in Jujutsu Kaisen?

Spoiler Warning: This article contains possible spoilers for the Jujutsu Kaisen manga!

The only person who wanted to defeat Gojo is Pseudo-Geto. He knew that Gojo could easily defeat him and his allies, so his plan was either to seal or kill Gojo.

He and his team already picked an exact date to do this, and as expected, Gojo intervened. The plot twist was that Gojo got sealed in the prison realm.

While it is true that Gojo was sealed in Chapter 91, he was still alive inside.

As he was sealed, he was deemed an accomplice during the Shibuya arc and would be exiled once he got out of the seal.

Eventually, Gojo was finally unsealed in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 221.

Ahead of the latest manga chapter's release, leaks for Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 236 show that Gojo dies while battling the King of Curses, Sukuna.

Even if Gojo is the most powerful sorcerer, he is still human, and anything can happen in the series.

The leaks suggest that Gojo is seen engaging in conversations with his dead comrades in the afterlife, and the chapter ends with a panel showcasing Gojo's body cleanly bisected.

Earlier, there were also a lot of instances when Gojo could've been killed, but he always found a way to be safe.

One instance was when he faced Jogo. Jogo was able to trap Gojo in his Domain Expansion called Coffin of the Iron Mountain, but as expected, Gojo used his Infinite Domain to break free.

Now, Sukuna has proved that he can actually take out the strongest jujutsu sorcerer during the Shibuya Incident Arc.

In the manga, Gojo explained to Megumi that a wielder of the Ten Shadows techniques was able to kill one of his family members in the past who had the same cursed techniques (Six Eyes and Limitless) as Gojo.

In addition, that Gojo clan member was defeated by Divine General Mahoraga, the strongest Shikigami. And guess who was able to defeat Mahoraga? It's none other than Sukuna.

This could mean that, between the two strongest sorcerers, the King of Curses still prevails over Gojo's innate power and abilities.

Sukuna is way too powerful by himself and with Mahoraga on his side, even Gojo is unable to stop his rampage.

Still, take these spoilers with a grain of salt. Until the official release of Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 236, Gojo's fate remains uncertain.
