Gege Akutami hating Jujutsu Kaisen’s most popular character, Gojo, isn’t a secret among fans – but the series just proved that isn’t the case at all.

Jujutsu Kaisen is a popular dark Shonen anime and manga series. The series has several iconic characters, but fans are mostly drawn toward Satoru Gojo. However, despite Gojo’s global popularity, not everyone seems to like him – especially the series’ creator.

Time and again, the mangaka would drop comments and hints about fans’ beloved Gojo, making them speechless with the evident dislike toward the strongest sorcerer of the modern era. Nonetheless, Gege always has something to say against him.

The mangaka is popular not only for his dark story but also for his hilarious comments every chance he gets. Despite all of Gege’s comments against Gojo, the recent chapter of the series just proved that he never really hated Gojo after all. Warning: This article contains spoilers from the manga!

In Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 252, Uraume mocks the sorcerers for being unable to produce the same results as Satoru Gojo. Hakari is confident the sorceres will win, earning a mockery from Uraume, who knows Sukuna is still not taking them seriously.

In Uraume’s words, the sorcerers should be ashamed for not being able to show better results than Satoru Gojo. During the battle of the strongest, Gojo didn’t die in vain. He reduced Sukuna’s overall cursed energy, rendered him unable to use Domain Expansion, and made his Reverse Cursed Techniquee significantly ineffective.

This is a feat that not even the combined efforts of Kashimo, Yuji, Higuruma, Choso, Ino, Kusakabe, Yuta, and Maki accomplished. Furthermore, the story is already in its final stretch, so it’s safe to say the fight between Gojo and Sukuna will always be the best one-on-one in the series. The fight continued from Chapters 222 to 236, showing some of the most incredible moments in modern Shonen.

We can only imagine fans going crazy when it will be animated. Gojo may have died, but he had a significant role in the series. Responsible for saving the lives of many, being a father figure to Megumi, being the only character to have a backstory arc, and the only one whom Sukuna enjoyed fighting against – all these facts further solidify that Gege doesn’t hate Gojo.

After all, Gojo is a character he created. Despite fans’ dissatisfaction, Gege proved time and again that Gojo’s influence in the story is incomparable.
