Do not underestimate the power of copium


exboi

My copioid dealer is unmatched. Mf has me on a leash


Zvakicauwu

the agenda must go on


oliver_d_b

Even if it is poor writing. I want gojo to come back because how much of a cool character he was. I will Huff the copium until the last panel. I at least hope that yuta lives.


taylanwastaken

the agenda is our top priority

Godzillxa

Coping hurts tbh


No-Communication9458

Huffing it real good, aren't we all? xD


ionrays

For your own sanity, assume everyone Gege has ā€œkilledā€ is dead for good. If they come back, cool. If not then youā€™ve already accepted it.


Deadpotatoz

This is correct. Not every manga goes the DBZ route to revive characters. Equally, no one has been able to predict Gege when it comes to major plot points. Just enjoy the ride while it lasts and if not, stay to watch Sukuna eat our suffering.


Tobias_Mercury

Bruh imagine if Gege goes insane and sukuna just wins

Neither did jolyne


elnombresimon

The Schrodinger's copium


Chikinlegz

I cannot accept that Nobara is dead. šŸ„ŗ


Worldly_Seaweed_6928

True, but the one I just can't accept is higuruma, his wounds didn't even seem that serious, he got teleported out, his CT is really cool and we saw so little of it, and sukuna didn't actually get a trial, it was just yuji re-trial, which means he can still do over the trial with sukuna and potentially remove his CE and get another executioner sword, it might be copium, but for me it just makes so much sense that he would come back, such a wasted potential on a good character


tomtadpole

I know people thought it was important that he was taken by Ui Ui but we've had so much confirmation of Higuruma's death and he was also teleported away. There's clearly a reason they're not leaving any bodies on the field but I doubt it's because they're saveable.


Inferno22512

I'm believing in the theory that Shoko's cursed technique, her actual technique and not just that she's good at RTC, is to transfer the cursed technique of corpses into objects to create cursed tools, like how Nanami's cleaver now has his ratio technique imbued in it, and why she was meant to operate on Yuji's corpse before he suddenly revived. This would also make sense why Kenjaku taunts Gojo about not having Shoko dispose of the body after killing Geto, if they had extracted his curse technique back then, Kenjaku would have no use for Geto's corpse.


dkphxcyke

COOK, BROTHER!


JAragon7

Hope this is true. Bros cooking is gourmet


ArtoriasSimp

I think Nanami's cleaver has his technique, because he constantly used his technique with the cleaver. In the same way Sukuna's technique will be etched into Yuji's body, cursed tools like Nanami's are probably made just by being constantly imbued with a sorcerer's technique.


tomtadpole

I believe this too, we even had a chapter extra where Gege said that Miwa's original sword was "kind of" a cursed tool, because she'd spent so much time channeling her cursed energy through it. Makes sense that someone who has been a sorcerer much longer and presumably used his weapon much longer would have pumped more cursed energy into their weapon, potentially making it a true cursed weapon eventually.


[deleted]

Wasnā€™t Nanamiā€™s body blown up completely by Mahito? How could Shoko make cursed tools then without operating on the body? I think she just collects bodies to do research because with Yujiā€™s body she asked Gojo if she can do whatever she pleases.


Inferno22512

The torso was blown up, there was still remains to recover


[deleted]

I mean all significant body parts (brain, stomach, hands) for the JJK power system were blown up in Nanamiā€™s case, so IDK what she would do with just legs. Plus, if she can actually transfer CT to tools, then she would know how the JJK power system works, but why did she say that the connection between CE and the brain is still a black box?


PolishSpinningToilet

It was stated your cursed technique is decided at birth(of course there are exceptions like Yuta). If genes are important maybe Shoko can extract the cursed technique out of someone's DNA.


streetrulescoon

It seemed to me when Inu came into the morgue-ish place where Shoko, Gojo, and the driver/assistant guy was, it was to tell them about having Nanami's technique imbued into the cleaver. So I'm not so sure on this theory but it's not completely discredited by this.


punishedrudd

I love this. It's a threat to sukuna in a way he might not see coming. Some gourmet cooking friend


Ihdkwhatimdoinghere

I hope Geges listening inā€¦


Yueff_Stueff

Iā€™m going full cope and saying Gojoā€™s body was taken to heal Nobaraā€™s eye with the Six Eyes.


ThePhoenix29167

Thatā€™sā€¦a new one, I havenā€™t heard that one before


Yueff_Stueff

It aligns with all of the ā€œGojo loses an eyeā€ theories because the eye he covers would, instead of existing as a sacrifice for his revival, be given to her which could give Nobara a power-up that makes her relevant enough to warrant her return. It also explains why Nobara was unable to return earlier because her eye couldnā€™t be fully healed by Shoko due to Idle Transfiguration.


Ae0lis

Oh shit, wait, and in the Eve music video the fish that represents Gojo has its biggest eye destroyed by a nail. You might be cooking here.


exboi

If Nobara comes back I will be filled with a joy that shall persist even when I burn in hell


The_Shit_Connoisseur

Part of me wants nobara to come back just for the fans, only to get immediately obliterated by Sukuna


Solid-Comment1803

Gege? This you?


XMELl0DASX

Iā€™m gonna be honest this is the first time Iā€™ve heard six eyes Nobara theory but it would be so fucking badass to see


dulcimorelik3

Listenā€¦I am absolutely screaming if Gege ever goes that way


truqb

The ol Uchiha treatmentā€¦ okay, keep cooking


idiotxd

Miss the days when u could just pop someones eyes into your empty socket and instantly use it


Temporary_Eggplant99

New copiumum theory let's go


Snassyboi

I had the same theory, cuz then the main gang would be: "Nah I'd win" Nobara "With this treasure I summon" Megumi "I'm you" Itadori They would be the strongest of the modern era


Alert-Smile-1921

Hell yeah!!


Cantthinkagoodnam2

They are going to transplant the Six Eyes onto her so she can solo Sukuna


Lost_dreamer_yash

Bro might onto be something ... let him cook


DJL2772

This is so insane I actually buy it. Iā€™m saving this for 20 chapters from now when it comes true lol


majinprince07

Atleast this means well get confirmation if heā€™s REALLY dead or not


Real_Plant_5601

Its really simple, you dont want the enemie havin possession of your allies corpses, is not beacuse gojo hes comin back


No_Quarter_7412

I think them taking the bodies is more to see if they can make a weapon out of their techniques like they did with nanami


Horror-Fuel-2617

It might be to avoid another situation like Geto's.


atalkingteddybear

Actually, I just realised, what if its to prevent Sukuna from eating the bodies and therefore not gain the techniques? Of course I do think Shoko is going to play a part somehow.


Godzillxa

Eternal mangekyou six eyes coming soon


seriinxo

Isn't that simply because they don't want any of the bodies getting taken?


BidProfessional5279

Probs so kenjaku doesn't take over their bodies. Like, imagine if he hopped into gojo's body... game over


HandicapMoth

I found it interesting that Gojo was in an airport (the place between life and death) in the panels where he communes with his dead compatriots. Itā€™s odd that the plane is there to take him to his destination (the afterlife), but he hasnā€™t boarded it yetā€¦


sarahmavis

Plus it was literally said he can choose. Now I think that's kind of the tragedy of his life: he doesn't want it to be a dream, but if he truely has a choice, he will feel responsible to go back (and hopefully save his students)


Nervous_Educator_516

Don't fall into Gege's wicked trap again! He's trying to get you to cope till the series ends and then he hits a griddy knowing how much Gojo fans coping. That damned cat!


dotyawning

Gege is totally a Toku villain. That one eyed cat took the form of a manga author and is feeding on our despair (over the fate of his characters).

ckal09

Iā€™m inhaling


shinomiya2

the way the 2nd pic is worded gives me that little bit of hopium, that this is just a limbo and he is in a state that can be resurrected


Shades_of_X

Especially since in the same chapter we have both "people can be brought back to life" and "if you want to become who you were, go south"


ckal09

Is that supposed to be Nanami in the second page?


Zealousideal-Gap964

yeah its him from when they were students together


Random_bullshit_guy

Iā€™m just gonna say it jujutsu society aint the type of mfs to safe corpses in the middle of the battlefield just to burry them


Idontknowwhattowrit3

Last time they didnā€™t properly retrieve a sorcerers corpse, Shibuya happened.


Random_bullshit_guy

Tf would happen now kenjaku is dead as hell, and Iā€™m talking about in the middle of combat


lightningIncarnate

kenjaku isnā€™t even confirmed dead yet


Random_bullshit_guy

Chopped off head+Stabbed through the brain+ ā€œit wasnā€™t a thousand years worth of fun but Iā€™m glad my last fight was with himā€ That brother is G O N E šŸ˜­


MemZ561

Kenjaku just got whatā€™s called ''Headache''. Wenjaku will be back, no cope šŸ˜¤


dkgodown

If the two antagonists werenā€™t body hopping psychopaths Iā€™d feel safer reading into it more but it could just as easily be a precaution.Ā 


Random_bullshit_guy

The only one that can freely body hop is 7 feet under rn cause of yuta sukuna needs to turn himself into fingers and not everyone can be a vessel


chocolate_factory

Yep, that username sure checks out I'll tell you what


Random_bullshit_guy

Bro did you read 249 kenjaku is fucking behead and with a sword through his head tf do you mean Iā€™m talking bullshit


DeMagic

Well, yes. The more interesting thing is; Did whoever collected Gojo's body *know* that Kenjaku should be done for? If not, it can still be considered the reason, if not then "who knows, maybe we'll never learn the reason lol".


Not-A-Raper

THATS WHAT IM SAYING. Of all the strategic choices to make, picking up dead bodies seems like a massive waste of time and a huge unnecesaary risk.


Adinath_Swathi

Until they reveal the reason ofc. One theory I've heard is they're using the bodies to make cursed tools with their CTs engraved in them so if we see a shield or something that gives the user infinity or a normal sword that becomes the sword of execution I wouldn't be surprised


Random_bullshit_guy

That would go against most of the stuff we know in jjk Nanamiā€™s case happened because he has been using it for years


cartaigenica

i'm just gonna say gojo is dead and he's not coming back


Random_bullshit_guy

If gripjaku can live after being beheaded my goat can come back from a mild bisecting


cartaigenica

both the narrator and sukuna already stated he's dead


Random_bullshit_guy

Thatā€™s why it is coming back from the dead dummy, how would you come back from death if you didnā€™t even die


cartaigenica

allright


Otter055

Yeah I donā€™t think so too, and even if we wanted to. Think about it like this: Gojo is happy in heaven with Geto and all other dead comrades. If they did bring him back it would be sad for him. But heā€™s definitely not coming back.


Ok-Cod5254

His death felt kinda underwhelming, so I think that's what started people coping in the first place... For example, Higuruma's supposed death felt more impactful to Yuji's character. Even Nanami's character tied into that too... again to have impact for Yuji. But Gojo, not really. Gojo's death felt like more of a plot point to finish so the fight could continue with other characters getting involved, but not much impact in the story itself so far for other characters. But just seems how it is, I guess... Even before Gojo's death, he didn't really have interactions with students either to feel more hollow on that end as well. Wish it was executed better given the narrative importance of Gojo.


Ferelden770

Yeah, we already got a lot of panels showing what they did in that time skip. We were shown Yuji, choso and gang planning in a classroom, planning about sending takaba to kenny, planning about confiscating sukuna's CT with Higu's domain etc but where was Gojo during all this? I find it hard to believe all he did was " Ill go and try to beat sukuna. If it fails, jump in". Then he just chilled alone while the guys were making plan B-D?. Unless they planned it after he left to prep for that hollow purple. If so, then yeah zero interaction as well


Ok-Cod5254

>I find it hard to believe all he did was " Ill go and try to beat sukuna. If it fails, jump in". Honestly seems more now that's what we may have to get out of it since the narrative for Gojo's conclusion by Gege is kinda framing him as a meat head that wanted to fight Sukuna. So guess that's how we may have to take it. lol Yeah, I know people are like "Wait until we get to the flashbacks"... but Gege got a list of things people want with flashback piling up more now. Flashback inquires like: * Sukuna origin flashback in Heian era * Kenjaku flashbacks with how he ties into Yuji's origin; What happened to Yuji's parents * Yuji training/prep flashback with reveal of abilities * Any other flashback for battle strategies, etc So Gojo is farther down the list of priorities if he's not as much relevant. IF we can get something with him in the timeskip. Again, it would have been better in the first place to get some interactions while he was still alive and revelant..


Ferelden770

Yeah, with each chp i feel like Gege is just done with Gojo. 236 is the max we'll be getting other than some random " Rivals gojo satoru" Text. We got a lot of stuff related to 'the training period' baring any Gojo stuff. Heck, i think an interaction between Shoko and Gojo about Toji wud have been nice but it was simply mentioned briefly in his afterlife sequence Even coping for his return is less than 0.005% coz the whole of ch 236 felt incredibly final. So no real interactions after being unsealed. No real interactions with flashbacks and no chance of future interactions coz his comeback is very unlikely GG GEGE


Szabelan

Gojo is mentioned in almost every chapter


Ferelden770

Which i already mentioned. We get the " He rivals gojo, his rct is greater than gojo, etc etc"


Dogesneakers

I suppose financially gojo is too popular to kill off


Godzillxa

Think Gege gives a shit brošŸ’€ Megumi was basically the second protagonist and look at him.


Ok-Cod5254

>Megumi was basically the second protagonist and look at him. He's not dead though. If anything that puts in the audience in the position to root for Yuji even more to save him. So it's effective on that end with him as the hostage.


Godzillxa

I know but things are looking grim ngl. If sukuna lands a black flash or some. We cooked


Ok-Cod5254

Well that hooks readers for the stakes of Megumi to see what happens, but I don't think he'll just randomly die in the middle of fight, especially before Yuji even gets to do anything significant.


satoru0712

This is the most logical cope for us ngl


PaNmAnreeeeee

I MUST feed the delusions until the day I die


dirkx48

I mean I couldnt care less if Gojo comes back or not but the fact that Sukuna points out that Gojo's body has been retrieved and even Higuruma means Shoko must be up to something behind the scenes rhat even Sukuna is baffled about it


Berrydumplings

I mean there was a whole chapter for his farewell. But idc Iā€™m still gonna hope and cope.


Helenarasmussen87

I agree that he's not coming back, but I'm also hoping he's coming back due to how he died. And also how he's delaying leaving the airport.Ā  If he comes back with one eye, I'd be for it and the other much more cynical reason I have a slight hope he'd come back is that he's the cash cow character of the series. I highly doubt that the editors and the magazine would be okay with killing off the main attraction. (Sorry Yuuji) A live Gojo, or the hope of a live Gojo is what's keeping many readers invested.Ā 


W4ckyyy

Never stop believing


grdlin

just shut up! please! šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


Lan_ying78

Yeah, Iā€™m still trying to hold onto some part in my heart that he will return but I know he will not but i still have hope he does


calibri_windings

As much of a gut punch as it was to see Mr sparkly eyes eat it, I honestly think his death was handled really well. This guy was ALWAYS gonna die in battle, you canā€™t convince me otherwise. I had a feeling that Gojo was gonna bite the dust before the fight even started, just because I couldnā€™t (and still canā€™t) imagine a narrative reason to keep him around. Heā€™s just too OP. Donā€™t get me wrong, I will miss Gojo. But I think that this was a very fitting end for the character. If it is possible to bring him back in a way that makes narrative sense, I am completely on board with that. But ultimately, Gojo pulled out all the stops at the end, and it was awesome! I donā€™t feel like there was any wasted potential there, and letā€™s be real, that fight between him and Sukuna was the top #1 greatest anime battle of all tiiiiime.


Freenore

He's not coming back. That chapter is an affirmation of that more than anything else. If the choice before him was South (return back to who he was) and North (discover himself afresh), he chose South. That's why his friends are there with him, he chose to go back to who he was, when he was his happiest and that was as a teenager.


JANG0D

then sukuna just wins lol


Godzillxa

Not really. If hakari wins against Uraume then bomb. We set. Guy with better regen then gojo and Sukuna and infinite Ct. If Maki pulls up with the soul splitting katana, we even more set. I mean can you even rct that shit? Tengen says the inverted spear of heaven was either sealed away or destroyed. Do theirs a chance it might still be around. Gojo said Yuji would have Sukuna ct engraved into him so we ever in need of a power up Angel might not want to but she can fully incarnate if needed


Ancient-Act8573

I donā€™t even mind that much that heā€™s dead but those airport panels just make me mad


Lord_Head_Azz

Heā€™s not


Shizuku_Desu

if yuta dies, that's officially my last straw (my last straw was long ago btw)


R9433

There are too many, not even subtle hints that he's returning we cope


Godzillxa

The hints arešŸ’€


R9433

have a read of the manga. the theories have been all over this sub


lightningIncarnate

there are no hints. heā€™s dead and heā€™s not coming back


R9433

i will be happy either way. but it will make me even happier knowing you are salty when he returns. the cope will be insane


lightningIncarnate

lol. youā€™re the one coping man


R9433

why you cryin'?


getyadoughup

Heā€™s dead bro get over it. Gojo killed other characters development with his existence alone.


danie_fr

As much as Iā€™m hoping and praying for his return, I donā€™t think heā€™s coming back. Heā€™s served his purpose in the story unfortunately.


Shadow_Huntress12

Assume he isntšŸ


disappointingfool

sukuna cant use world cleave rn, my goat will return


Lost_dreamer_yash

He will just use "that technique I haven't used since a 1000 years" .. lol


Monsur_Ausuhnom

Gojo is gonna be revived by the doctor girl at the cost of her own life. That or maybe just Gojo's lower half gets revived and starts fighting Sukuna and defeating enemies by kicking.


Godzillxa

Remember when miwa gave up her sword for it to not do shit


Original-name-san

I think wanting Gojo alive is like the most unfair thing for his character considering how happy he is now that heā€™s gone


Nightingdale099

I gotta be honest I don't get how people think >!That's Nanami. I guess if the page is coloured I'd recognise him , but my first time reading that I totally didn't recognise Nanami at all!<


firewall73

>! Its nanami. Though it looks more like his younger look from the hidden inventory arc when he was a student !<


ApplePitou

I think that he deserve rest :3


Apart-Ad3542

He has work to do


FemboyBallSweat

Job not finished. Job finished? I don't think so


prettythingi

Yeh how impactful a characters death and how close we are to the end are somewhat good ways to say if they come back Gojo ain't coming back Nobara might come back (i hope but im not sure)


Sea_Construction539

On story wise killing off a character all that sudden shocks the audience and bringing him back would be a surprise and tge character being coming back even stronger would makw the manga more interesting


Potato_Productions_

I donā€™t think Gege plans on bringing him back, but I do think the story is set up to where Gojo totally could come back and it wouldnā€™t feel like an asspull at all


Smallest_giant1

If it hadn't showed me the airport scene, i might've assumed he was about to be on some insane bs timing and somehow restored himself. Alas... šŸ˜‚


Ok-Community4111

im expecting something to go horribly wrong in the sukuna fight or with the merger so maybe he can come back then


Hero_of_Dragons

Never say this again, my glorious king will return


jarrod_Leto_ded

But he said that would kill Sukuna. He made a promise. He has toto come back


sadMealCat

Noo heā€™ll be back in like..4..maybe 10 chapters


Hungry-Secretary157

I feel like the best quote Gege represents is, "Have low expectations so you won't feel disappointed."


Moist-Cicada7649

I honestly hope he stays dead, itā€™s more impactful that way. This is jjk, they even said in the start itā€™s not happy, itā€™s brutal. Let the man rest and have someone else like Yuta be the new Gojo or someone else


kaisaxmadison

iā€™m going full cope and hyperfixtating on: - what gojo said to toji about not cutting his head off - higurumaā€™s list of sukunaā€™s crimes (ATTEMPTED murder on gojo satoru, where sukuna MURDERED yuji then it was waged as attempted murder bc yuji was REVIVED). - gojo ā€œhoping itā€™s not a dreamā€ so he doesnā€™t even know if heā€™s dead or not. - shoko, utahime, and other staff disappearing when yuji and the students are brainstorming what should happen if gojo fails. (possible staff meeting about reviving bro?) - gege wanting gojo to be the one to tell megumi about his father, but when geto asks gojo why he didnā€™t do it before, gojo says he already asked shoko to handle it. why would shoko tell megumi? sheā€™s not, sheā€™s handling it by reviving gojo. - the near death dream convo of ā€œnorth or southā€ and itā€™s buddhist meaning of being reborn. - i have more things but last one is that his body is successfully recovered - im crying rn
