Gojo Satoru is one of the most loved characters in the Jujutsu Kaisen world. He is a special-grade jujutsu sorcerer and is “The Strongest Sorcerer”. He is also a teacher at Tokyo Jujutsu High School. However, a shocking situation has happened. This character was sealed. Many readers were asking the question: “Why was Gojo exiled?”
In this blog, we will find out the answer.
How was Gojo Exiled?
After his fight with Jogo, Choso, Hanami, and 1000 transfigured humans, a cube rolled toward him.
That cube is the prison realm. It will seal everything at 4m around it. With the reflexes, Gojo could easily stay back, but at that time…
Geto Suguru, his best friend – who Gojo killed – appears in front of his eyes.
He hesitated a little, but that was enough for the prison realm to be active. And finally, Gojo is trapped inside the prison realm.
Why is Gojo a Traitor?
After the Shibuya accident, the Jujutsu Society saw Gojo as an accomplice and exiled him. Everyone who wants to unleash Gojo is considered a traitor, and removing his seal is really a criminal action.
Many theories have been built, and one of them is that Gojo is really a villain. He intentionally gets trapped and is actually the final boss of the Jujutsu Kaisen world.
But theory is a theory, we need to follow Jujutsu Kaisen to know the truth.
How Long was Gojo Exiled?
According to a fan on Twitter, he has been sealed for 1013 days in real life while these lines are written.
But in the storyline, there are only a couple of months to a year since Gojo was sealed.
Why was Gojo Exiled?
Gojo is the strongest sorcerer and can beat enemies without a sweat.
If you’re a fan of this anime/manga, you would know how strong Gojo is. But if not, here are some facts about Gojo’s power to help you:
- He’s the strongest sorcerer.
- Six Eyes allows him to maximize the potential of Limitless, see the flow of cursed energy and a broad vision, handle a huge amount of information and more.
- He masters a technique to manipulate space called Limitless: he could push/pull a target object and teleport, too.
- He could create a ball to destroy everything in its path.
- Has a barrier that stops everything that wants to touch him.
- He has the strongest Domain Expansion of the Jujutsu Kaisen world.
- He has incredible physical strength and immersive speed.
The list is pretty long, right?
He is the person who is keeping the balance of the Jujutsu Kaisen world. He’s also the first target the enemies could think about when they try to do something.
So, we can easily understand why Gojo is always a thorn in their eyes and needs to be eliminated. They built a risky plan and paid the price to get Gojo.
But, that is also a reason why the Jujutsu Kaisen society is afraid and hates Gojo. Gojo’s appearance is a threat to their power and position. Gojo fears no one, but everyone fears Gojo because of his power.
And this was a great chance to eliminate Gojo from the Jujutsu sorcerer world.
That’s what happened and why Gojo is exiled. But I think you need to know…
The True Reason Why Gojo was Exiled
The reason is all because of this person: the author of Jujutsu Kaisen, Gege Akutami.
He appeared for the first time on TV on 30 January 2021.
In this show, he shared about his life, some stories behind the scenes of Jujutsu Kaisen, and also the reason why Gojo was exiled. The reason is like a joke.
He exiled Gojo because Gojo is too strong and interferes with the development of the story!
Besides that, Gojo is just simply perfect. Everyone loves him. Akutami-sensei is a bit jealous. So, he decided to let Gojo be exiled.
