Do a jujutsu It ended relatively recently, and although fans were somewhat satisfied with the ending of the series, they acknowledged that the ending itself was rushed in many ways. At the end, a lot was left unresolved, and some of the interesting details the author had previously established were not explained in detail. Fans understand that the author is currently suffering greatly from health issues and has had to deal with several health-related issues.

However, this certainly does not mean that the author cannot continue to expand on the events of the story in other ways in the future. While some fans are waiting for a proper sequel, others believe JJK will get a spinoff mini-series at some point, or at least as a one-shot. It's unlikely that the series will receive a sequel, but a one-shot or spinoff isn't such an impossible idea. If the series continues in any way, fans will want to know what the role of the Gojo clan will be going forward and how the writers will explain it.

What fans know about the Gojo clan so far

The Gojo clan is shrouded in mystery.

It's clear that Gege Akutami is a pretty good writer, and he delivered one of the most exciting stories in recent times: J.J.K.. But it goes without saying that his handling of many aspects of the story was low. The way Gege expanded the concept of three large families was definitely not a good thing, no matter what die-hard fans thought. In fact, fans know very little about how the three clans operate, especially the Gozo clan. Much of this clan's relevance comes from Gojo, who fans know as the face of the entire franchise. Taking Gojo out of the equation, fans know little to nothing about this clan. This is definitely a problem and shows that the world-building in this particular series, with its multiple factions and clans, is not up to standard.

He is the head of the Gojo clan!!

What fans know about the Gojo clan is that they were one of the most important powers in Japan, while also having a level of monopoly over the jujitsu society. Thanks to Gojo, they enjoyed considerable power and, in many ways, immunity. Goja himself has utilized this immunity on several occasions, using his influence to save people like Yuji and Yuta from certain death. At the same time, the only thing fans know about the Gojo clan people is that they originate from Sugawara Michizane, known for his vengeful past. Other than that, it's a shame that the author doesn't reveal any information about the obviously powerful Gojo family. The Gojo clan (五条氏), one of Japan's three major families in many ways. J.J.K.It exists purely for Satoru.

If Gojo is left out of the equation, this clan will essentially fall on its own, at least based on what the series has told fans so far. At the same time, if this clan were removed from the story, not much would change in the world of this clan. J.J.K. This just shows that the author didn't do a good job of explaining it in detail, while at the same time, a sequel series in some form would have to explain it properly.

Why Satoru's death is important to the Gojo clan

Satoru's death puts the Gojo clan in danger.

It won't be difficult for fans to understand the plight of the Gojo clan now. JJK is definitely over, but the results of the Shinjuku showdown will leave fans open to discussing the politics of this world at any time. Of course, the biggest event of the Shinjuku confrontation was Gojo's defeat and death. Gojo fought Sukuna in a very exciting battle, and he definitely matched him in this fight.

In fact, in this battle, Gojo gained the upper hand several times, showing his immense power. In fact, Gojo not only fought Sukuna and his Gentleman's Curse techniques, but also Megumi and his Ten Shadow techniques. Resisting two of the strongest techniques was once too much for him, but thanks to Mahora, he was able to win this battle forever.

Hello, Gojo Satoru! I will never forget you in my life! – Sukuna

After his death, other wizards also entered the battle and took care of Sukuna. It was Yuji who finally defeated the King of Curses once and for all and dealt him the final blow. Obviously, everyone was happy after the main battle. J.J.K. And the fact that the majority of the characters survived.

But at the same time, fans need to look at the repercussions of the Shinjuku Shodown episode. Gojo's death in particular will change the world significantly, and fans know this means the consequences for his family will be absolutely devastating. Sotoru was the leader of the Gojo clan, and his death left the clan in need of a new head. Not only that, but now the Gojo clan will be stripped of much of its power, which essentially means they will have to find an alternative in some way.

What role could the Gojo clan play in JJK's future?

The Gozo clan can reassert its dominance.

As previously mentioned, fans know absolutely nothing about the Gojo family. They were one of the three major clans. J.J.K. This means that Gozo, for what it's worth, is not their only source of political influence and power. Certainly he gave them a great advantage, but they are not powerless without him. They must be members of the Gojo Clan, who are quite powerful even without the use of Six Eyes and Limitless. At the same time, it must be remembered that members of the Gojo clan will always have access to these special powers.

The trait known as the Six Eyes would appear in others even after Gojo's death. Because this trait must continue to appear no matter what. Likewise, some of the other members of the Gojo clan will eventually inherit the Limitless curse technique, which is also inevitable. The most likely outcome here is that the Gojo clan will mostly try to continue their lineage in an effort to produce a Limitless, or at least someone with the Six Eyes. Considering that Gojo is the first person in 400 years to possess both powers simultaneously, it would be very difficult to produce someone with both abilities.

Nonetheless, luck may shine on the Gojo clan, and at the same time, another individual may be born who possesses the powers of both Six Eyes and Limitless. Nonetheless, if they only had one of these powers, it would still give them a huge advantage and save face for this clan, at least politically.

It is possible that there are other influential members of the Gojo clan that fans do not know about. Nevertheless, if J.J.K. Moving on, the author will have to elaborate on the Gojo clan and show fans exactly how it works, especially after Satoru's death. Moreover, fans will probably get to see how these major families fare against other families. This was probably part of an effort to take over the overall Jujutsu society and become the sole ruling force.

JJK 271, the final chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, was finally released on September 29, 2024. Fans can read the series on the MANGA Plus and Shonen Jump apps.
