Jujutsu Kaisen creator Gege Akutami reveals that some other character was supposed to seal Gojo inside the Prison Realm instead of Gojo.
Jujutsu Kaisen‘s Shibuya Incident Arc features the villains plungingShibuyainto chaos. One of Kenjaku’s main goals is to seal SatoruGojo, who is a force to be reckoned with. Soon after, the situation spirals down.
Thesorcerersare fighting villains way out of their league, but their main goal is Gojo’s rescue. Kenjaku lays out an incredible plan to catch Gojo off-guard. Ordinarily, he should’ve failed to seal the strongest sorcerer alive.
However, he uses Gojo’s friendship with Geto as a base for his plan. As soon as Gojo sees him, he confuses himself long enough to be trapped inside the Prison Realm. Just a few seconds of error on Gojo’s part changes the course of the entire story.
DAGON WAS ORIGINALLY SUPPOSED TO SEAL SATORU, NOT KENJAKU.THAT TRASH THEORY FROM REDDIT THAT DAGON = RICO WAS IN GEGE’S HEAD? (Joke, ofc)AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHpic.twitter.com/OvPOP6BvK9
A popularJujutsu Kaisen translatorshares that initially, Gege decided Dagon would seal Gojo inside the Prison Realm. Dagon is one of the disaster curses, who was defeated by Toji.
One fanadds, “It would explain why Dagon was together with Kenjaku while they waited for Gojo to be exhausted.”
The translatorfurther reveals Gege thought of having that plot after reading a random Reddit theory. However, that was only a joke and he decided Kenjaku sealing Gojo would be the best course of action.
