Then there’s a sudden cutaway to a flashback of Gojo talking to Yuji. Yuji asks to switch training with Gojo after Kusakabe finishes. What Gojo says in response is perfect:

Gojo is Jujutsu Kaisens anchor, and his end is his own
Gojo and Yuji’s relationship is crucial to the series in a complicated way
Considering the importance of Gojo Jujutsu Kaisens story, the brief flashback was controversial. Some fans were hoping for a full-fledged revival, and still others were at least hoping for a more progressive dedication to the powerful modern magician. However, Gojo’s farewell is a Perfect resolution that brings Jujutsu Kaisen Full circle.
Gojo has been there since the beginning, and his expectation of “great things” from Yuji has always been there. Impressed with his ability to contain Sukuna, Gojo has always been at Yuji’s side: defending him against execution, bringing him to Jujutsu High, training him up and serving as a mentor. More than anything else, it is possible to mark the actual beginning and end of Jujutsu Kaisens story through Gojo’s relationship with Yuji.

The stories of Gojo, Sukuna, Geto, Toji and Kenjaku meet at a crossroads when Yuji eats Sukuna’s finger and becomes his vessel. Gojo’s life also threads together through Yuji. The instant Sukuna dies, The story left ends. It fits Gojo to die putting his best fight against the personified crossroads of his life. When Sukuna was taken down by the combined efforts of Gojo’s descendants, it became clear that Jujutsu KaisenAll along, was not always about a single great hero, but something else entirely.
Gojo is passing the torch to a new generation
Like him and Jujutsu Kaisen Fade to black, the cast is set to move on
Strikingly, when in the flashback Yuji says that Gojo doesn’t sound like himself and seems fearful, Gojo responds that He is more confident than ever. Especially for Gojo, that’s a strange thing to say on the surface. After all, he famously called himself “The Honorable”. Gojo has always been the type to see battle as fun; A defensive person, whose confidence in his own unique power gives him a constant cool attitude, but also condemns him to loneliness.
To say that he is more confident than ever while saying others will surpass him Makes the message all the more powerful. Despite (or because of) his confidence in himself, their possible growth in his wake brings him more confidence than ever. Seriously dealing with the possibility of his death is a crushing recognition of Sukuna’s power as his opponent (even though he never expected to begin with). But it’s also a moving way to pass the torch to those who follow, redefining strength in their own image, potentially eclipsing his legacy entirely if that’s what it takes.
Since Jujutsu KaisenThe narrative has always been anchored by Gojo, His declaration that the world has had enough of him provides a sense of closure. Reviving Gojo or giving him tremendous fanfare would only repeat the trend of treating Gojo as an object. Gojo’s appearance in the final chapter, however brief, instead shows him at his most human, and it perfectly completes Jujutsu Kaisen While paying homage to his legacy.
