The spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen 261 were simply mind-boggling. While it was widely speculated that Yuta killed the ones who ran the Jujutsu world. Contrary to popular belief, the spoilers raised several questions, the biggest being: Did Gojo kill the higher-ups? In short, Gojo Satoru slaughtered them.
From the beginning of the series, Gojo’s disdain for the higher-ups of Jujutsu society was palpable. They held the reins of power, dictating the course of events in the community, from managing the schools to assigning missions to sorcerers. Yet, their misguided orders led to numerous tragedies, fueling a deep-seated resentment within Gojo. This bitterness, however, transformed into a resolve to guide the next generation of sorcerers, leading him to become a teacher.
What happened to Gojo?
Satoru Gojo once mentioned in Jujutsu Kaisen that he wouldn’t have a problem caring for the higher-ups. Although they run the entire Jujutsu society, killing them would be rather easy. However, he believed that the absence of those higher-ups would throw the society into absolute chaos. One of the major reasons why he decided to become a teacher was to help the upcoming generation of sorcerers in his way.
Jujutsu Kaisen 261 spoilers answered the question, “Did Gojo kill higher-ups?” clearly. Before his battle against the King of Curses, the spoilers revealed that he killed all the higher-ups. He wasn’t sure of his actions, so he didn’t want his students to witness them. The only student who was aware of the situation was Yuta, as Satoru Gojo explained the entire ordeal to him.
Gojo was still determining the outcome of his battle with Sukuna. He elaborated to Yuta that if he were to lose the battle, the higher-ups would cease from existence. This implies that Yoshinobu Gakuganji would rise to the ladder of Jujutsu society.
The Shibuya Incident shook the Jujutsu world significantly, and Gojo didn’t want a similar catastrophe to happen again. Yuta expresses his opinion and asks Gojo not to become a “monster,” but he believes it is necessary for the greater good.
