Amid the chaos of the Shibuya Incident arc in Jujutsu Kaisen, there is a brief flashback featuring Ogami and other curse users who are filled with fear upon seeing Gojo. At that time, young Gojo was alone on the streets, and the curse users sought to eliminate him so they could commit their crimes freely. However, Gojo’s overwhelming presence forced them to retreat.
Gojo was able to intimidate them with just a glance. Nevertheless, fans are still puzzled as to why a child would be alone in the city.
In a recent interview, the author, Akutami, addressed over 30 questions related to the beloved character Gojo, shedding light on this perplexing scene.
Specifically, one of the questions posed was: “In chapter 96, Ogami and others see young Gojo walking alone in the city. What was he doing in the middle of the city?”
Gege responded, stating: “He ran away from home and wandered around.”
Gojo is the first to use the Six Eyes (Rokugan) in 400 years. As a result, he was separated from his parents at a young age and trained to become the next leader of his clan. In the same Q&A session, Gege also revealed that Gojo decided to enroll in Jujutsu High School after becoming disillusioned with his oppressive family.
Fans have been deeply moved to discover that young Gojo ran away from home out of frustration. One person remarked: “Oh my, in chapter 96 when young Gojo was alone, it was because he ran away from home. I wonder how many times he has done that?”
Another fan shared: “The most captivating character you’ve ever encountered escaped from a home with a traumatic past, making you rethink the author’s mental health.”
