Jujutsu Kaisen: Was Gojo Wrong In His Decision to Save Yuji?

Jujutsu Kaisen: Was Gojo Wrong In His Decision to Save Yuji?

Why did he do that?

Summary:

  • We were all surprised by the extent of the tragedy in Shibuya.
  • Yuji became a time bomb after his merger with Sukuna.
  • The appearance of King of Curses was a foregone conclusion, and killing Yuji could have been a big mistake.

The controversy surrounding the latest episode of Jujutsu Kaisen continues to rage. Of course, most of them are related to the production moments and directorial decisions of the creators. But there are also those who, impressed by the mass slaughter in Shibuya, speculate about Gojo's decision to keep Yuji alive at the beginning of the anime.

Yuji's troubled fate

Jujutsu Kaisen protagonist got into a really unenviable situation. He was forced to eat Sukuna's finger and become his vessel due to a series of unpleasant circumstances. Yuji is a very kind character and is always ready to help others. However, the spirit that dwells in him is a real disaster and brings only destruction.

In Episode 17, we saw exactly what we were warned about throughout the anime. The scale of the tragedy that Sukuna created in Shibuya is impressive. Yuji himself can barely cope with the experience, which is shown at the end of the episode. Now the top sorcerers' desire to stop this threat at the beginning of the anime doesn't seem so illogical anymore.

Was it the wrong choice?

Answering the question, there are several points of view. Some say the decision was wrong because after the merger with Sukuna, Yuji became a time bomb that was bound to detonate, the only question was when. Throughout the series, Gojo shows himself as a very stubborn and irrational person who is driven by idealistic views of life. He has great power, and so the higher-ups listens to his desires, among them the wish to help all young sorcerers. However, his urges do not always mean stability and peace for others. His decision to keep Geto alive becomes a big problem for the students of the academy in the Jujutsu Kaisen movie.

On the other hand, many have remarked on Yuji's unique ability to restrain Sukuna. The coming of the King of Curses was foreshadowed by many events, and the death of the protagonist absorbing only one finger wouldn't have changed anything. In fact, it would have made the situation even worse, because the sorcerers would have lost their only weapon against a powerful villain. Killing a large number of people is an event that could have been predicted, but it could not have been foreseen that Gojo would be sealed during these events. Therefore, if Gojo was wrong somewhere, it was most likely about assessing his abilities.
