As Jujutsu Kaisen nears its climactic conclusion, fans have been hit with the emotional fallout from the shocking death of Satoru Gojo. With just three chapters remaining, the supernatural shonen series has left readers in suspense, but not without moments of reflection and connection. Gojo, a fan-favorite character, left behind heartfelt and poignant final messages for two of his closest students, Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki, offering a bittersweet farewell.
Gojo’s Death and Final Farewells
As the battle against Sukuna reaches its tragic climax, Satoru Gojo’s death remains one of the most unexpected and painful losses for Jujutsu Kaisen readers. Known for his immense power and aloof personality, Gojo was an integral mentor to his students. While he was able to share final words with Yuji Itadori before his passing, his interactions with Megumi and Nobara were cut short due to their respective circumstances—Megumi’s possession by Sukuna and Nobara’s incapacitation following the Shibuya Incident. However, Gojo ensured that they weren’t left in silence by leaving them both letters that encapsulate his eccentric and honest character.
Nobara’s Tearful Response
Nobara, sidelined since the Shibuya Incident Arc, received a letter from Gojo that touched on personal matters she may have preferred to avoid. According to the Jujutsu Kaisen manga’s latest chapter (Chapter 268), Gojo’s message contained information about Nobara’s mother and her current whereabouts. Nobara’s reaction was swift—after reading the letter, she promptly destroyed it, explaining to Yuji that this was information she never wished to know. True to Gojo’s unpredictable nature, the letter delivered an uncomfortable but personal message, leaving Nobara grappling with emotions she would have rather left unspoken.
Megumi’s Bittersweet Laugh
While Nobara’s letter brought tears and frustration, Gojo’s final words to Megumi offered an unexpected moment of levity. In his typical irreverent style, Gojo’s letter to Megumi contained a blunt and humorous reference to Megumi’s father, Toji Fushiguro. “Sorry, Megumi, but your dad’s a goner! I wasted his ass! My bad!” the letter read. For fans of the series, this reference recalls Toji’s death at Gojo’s hands during the Hidden Inventory Arc. While Toji made a brief return in the Shibuya Incident Arc, he ultimately met his end at Gojo’s hands once again. Megumi’s reaction to the letter was surprisingly lighthearted, as he couldn’t help but laugh at Gojo’s directness—even in death, Gojo remained true to his unfiltered, humorous self.
Gojo’s Legacy Lives On
As Jujutsu Kaisen inches closer to its finale, the legacy of Satoru Gojo remains deeply felt. Despite his death, Gojo’s letters to Megumi and Nobara offer a final glimpse into the complex, caring, and often humorous relationship he shared with his students. While his loss leaves a void in the series, these final messages remind readers of the profound impact he had on those around him, even in his most casual moments.
For Jujutsu Kaisen fans, the journey may be nearing its end, but the emotional weight of Gojo’s actions—both in life and death—continues to resonate. As the remaining chapters unfold, readers are left to wonder how these final words will influence the ultimate resolution of the story.
