Will Gojo Satoru Be Unsealed? Can He Escape The Prison Realm In Jujutsu Kaisen?

Will Gojo Satoru be unsealed, is something that every Jujutsu Kaisen fan wants an answer to right now!

Without any doubt, the Shibuya Incident riddled the jujutsu world with calamities. What felt like days were just the ravages of a few hours at the hands of a few cursed spirits. Non-shamans suffered damages at the hands of both cursed spirits and shamans in this huge battle.

However, shamans themselves took the worst of it, as was the plan by Kenjaku (brain-kun) & Co. A lot of them succumbed to death while fighting or took severe damages, some even fatal. All this was collateral damage in Kenjaku’s plan to achieve certain goals.

And one of his goals was to seal the Six-Eyes user – Gojo Satoru – in the Prison Realm.

Perhaps Kenjaku’s success in sealing Gojo was the biggest catastrophe of the Shibuya Incident (um, I am still crying over Nanami too). After unprecedented recent developments, the lack of Gojo’s presence in the plot is quite pronounced.

While Chapter 145 finally gave us a glimmer of hope to free Gojo, chapter 214 kind of diminished it too. So as things currently stand, is there a way for Gojo to escape the prison realm? Keep reading to find out!

However, before you proceed, we’d aske you to check out the following article first if you haven’t read it!

Can Gojo Escape From Prison Realm?

Yes, Gojo can escape the seal and get out of Prison Realm. That is if a certain character is still alive.

Megumi’s choice to meet Tengen to find answers to multiple questions proved correct in Chapter 145.

Tengen is an all-knowing being, and so, they knew the detrimental impact of Gojo’s sealing. Without Gojo, there is a severe imbalance between the shamans and curses and discord amongst shamans.

Kenjaku’s real intention behind the culling game isn’t very clear yet, but it has to be prevented anyhow. While all the others will be trying their best to fight, it is the obvious truth that Gojo’s unsealing is a must for winning. Sukuna possessing Megumi’s body and unleashing himself has only made it even more necessary for it to happen.

Fortunately, one can be rescued from Prison Realm after being sealed. Tengen was the one who revealed this.

Let’s see how, too!

How can Gojo Satoru Be Unsealed?

Tengen showed Yuji and the others the back of the Prison Realm in Chapter 145. Even though Kenjaku sealed Gojo using the front of Prison Realm, it is possible for him to escape from the back.

The “back” is essentially like the back door of the cursed object, so Gojo can escape from the isolated dimension of Prison Realm from here.

The back of the Prison Realm can be opened both at the will of the front’s bearer or forcefully breaking it open. But, only if it were that easy.

Even if Yuji and the others want to break open the Prison Realm’s back forcefully, they need one of two cursed tools Tengen mentioned.

The two tools Yuji and the others can use to open Prison Realm are the Inverted Spear of Heaven that nullifies cursed techniques or the Black Rope that disrupts and cancels cursed technique effects.

Using either of these on the back will open it up and free Gojo.

Well, talk about Gojo making people’s lives difficult, including his own! In all possibility, his past self sabotaged his own escape.

For the Inverted Spear of Heaven, he either sealed it abroad or worse, destroyed it while he fought Toji. And he also got rid of the Black Rope sometime in the last year while he defeated Miguel.

Okkotsu and Miguel even looked for the Black Rope overseas but couldn’t find anything left.

There is a very minute possibility that the Inverted Spear of Heaven may be found. But it is not realistic to try banking on this minuscule chance.

So…will Gojo remain sealed?

The answer depends on the last resort!

Just like Tsumiki, another person in the culling game overtaken by an ancient cursed spirit is this last resort to save Satoru.

Hana Kurusu, Gojo Satoru’s last hope of getting unsealed:

This player is Hana Kurusu, and she calls herself “angel.”

Her cursed technique can extinguish any cursed technique. Therefore, her cursed technique will play the same role as the cursed tools in getting Gojo Satoru unsealed from the Prison realm.

While her introduction and image are quite intriguing, to say the least, Hana turned out to be an ally to Megumi and Itadori over the course of Culling Game, mostly due to her crush on the former. On the other hand, Angel, who co-existed in Hana, wished to kill Sukuna, who himself was termed as a fallen angel.

It all seemed to be going on track for Gojo to be unsealed, until Sukuna decided to interfere.

Sukuna plays party pooper:

In chapter 214, after taking over Megumi’s body, Sukuna landed a gut punch to whatever hopes there might have been to unseal Gojo. Taking advantage of Hana’s feelings for Megumi, he lures her in and gravely injures her.

He rips off her arm and damages her wings, before proceeding to throw her off the roof of a building.

As of now, we don’t know if Hana is alive or dead. She could have used Reverse Cursed Technique and healed herself if she survived the fall. However, there is also a chance that Sukuna might closed the chapter.

This is what I meant at the start, when I said Gojo can only be unsealed if a certain character is alive.

If Hana is indeed dead, then Gojo’s chances of getting unsealed from the Prison Realm are almost zero, as there would be no way to open the back of the prison realm. And with Tengen too seeming to be out of picture, it seems that Itadori and his group are going to have a hard time figuring out a solution.

The back of the prison realm is with Choso at the moment, however, there isn’t much use without knowing how exactly to open it.

Now that we have this down, it is time to address the elephant in the room.

Akutami’s comments

Gege Akutami has been quite cruel in dealing with the characters until now.

Take killing off Nanami or maybe Nobara’s death (is she dead though?) at Mahito’s hands, for example. Even Mai couldn’t escape her fate at Akutami’s wishes.

These exploits make us wonder if Gojo will actually ever come out of the Prison Realm or not.

However, on second thought, it is evident that Gojo will escape Prison Realm. His escape is a must because he still has an important role to play in the story.

Moreover, Akutami knows how to drain narrative potential from a character very well. In fact, the mangaka has also said that Gojo is yet to tell Megumi about Toji.

Also, we all have been waiting for that last fight between Gojo and Sukuna, no?! The real question is WHEN will Gojo escape Prison Realm.

The faster he gets out is the better for Yuji and the others, but Akutami might delay this event to increase the stakes!

For now, we can just wait and see what these young shamans do in the absence of their sensei!
