Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen has shaken the entire world with the Shinjuku Showdown arc featuring Sukuna, the King of the Curses fighting against the Jujutsu Sorcerers and defeating them one by one. The series recently featured one of the biggest fights where the King of Curses fought Yuta Okkotsu and Yuji Itadori.
However, even Yuta could not stand up against Sukuna and was defeated by him. But the fight did not end there as Maki Zenin entered the battle and is currently fighting Sukuna. But looking at the sorcerers being defeated by the King of Curses one by one, fans have once again started missing the only character who had a chance against Sukuna.
The character in question is Gojo Satoru, the most loved individual in Jujutsu Kaisen. Fans have been hoping that Akutami might bring Gojo back but they have not given hints about the sorcerer coming back. But fans do get to see Gojo in the upcoming Chapter 253, but not in the way they would have hoped for.

Gege Akutami Brings Back Gojo Satoru in Jujutsu Kaisen Manga
According to the spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 253, the chapter begins with a little flashback that explores who the strongest first-grade sorcerer is. According to Mei Mei, Atsuya Kusakabe may be the most powerful sorcerer in the first grade. Meanwhile, Kento Nanami weighs in, saying that it depends on the circumstances, but he feels that Kusakabe is the most likely candidate.
In the flashback, a similar question is posed to Gojo Satoru, who responds that while it is likely Kusakabe, it would likely be an entirely different story if the three major clans were also involved. This is the first appearance Gojo Satoru has made after a long time in the series. But this is not what fans had hoped.
According to the various theories and notions that fans have developed about Gojo Satoru’s returning to the series, they hoped that he might make a comeback and the fans would get to see him fighting Sukuna and ultimately defeating the King of Curses, thus marking the conclusion of Jujutsu Kaisen.
