Warning: SPOILERS for chapter #226 of Jujutsu Kaisen A fundamental theory of physics holds that time is relative, and this is especially true for how long Jujutsu Kaisen Sorcerer Supreme Satoru Gojo sealed in Hell. Whether his “containment” lasted 19 days, measured in manga time, over three years in real time, or anywhere from a moment to an eternity in theory, Gojo clearly became a changed man, and that clearly made the difference. in a duel with Sukuna.
Gojo was sealed in the Prison Kingdom in Chapter #90 (October 31 in the manga), by Kenjaku with a little help from his “friend” Mahito. Kenjaku sees Gojo as the most serious threat to his plans to bring about a new “Golden Age of Magic”. Believing that even he cannot defeat Gojo, Kenjaku chooses to eliminate him by sealing him in the Prison Realm, a special level cursed object with the ability to seal a person in pocket size. its forever. Once sealed, the reference in the story is given to how the time inside its bounds differs from the time outside it. Gojo himself suggested in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter #91 that “time does not pass” in the Prison Kingdom. He was finally freed from the Prison Kingdom in Chapter #221 or November 19 manga time.
Gojo gains unexpected powers from his time in prison
Surely, as soon as Gojo came out of the Prison Kingdom, he was ready to take on Kenjaku and Sukuna. His confidence was on an astronomical level, and it was clear that he had really upgraded his abilities. As Gojo’s students made clear in Chapter #221, while in the extra-dimensional space of the Prison Kingdom, Gojo learned the ability to manipulate analog dimensions. He uses this ability to shrink his territory to the size of a basketball, thus not only limiting Sukuna’s physical attacks but also reducing his abilities.
One ability he “learned” or developed while isolated in the Prison Realm is the increasing controllability of his Blue and Red Curse Technique. Considering the threats he already knew he would face if freed from the Prison Kingdom, another ability he might consider improving, if possible, is “Six Eyes” . These are just a few of the ways he uses his time in the Prison Kingdom to improve himself. However, there is one truth that can be certain: Satoru Gojo has escaped the Prison Kingdom better than ever.
Gojo used his time “in prison” to become even stronger
Gojo is definitely fearless in the Prison Kingdom. Furthermore, as a strong and dedicated wizard, no matter how much time he actually spent in the Prison Realm, Gojo certainly made the most of the bad situation. Whether that means improving your own skills, reflecting on your opponent’s skills, learning new skills from his environment, or all of the above, joyous definitely escaped from confinement more concentrated and stronger than ever Jujutsu KaisenIt’s almost like he’s experienced his own “skip time” – the common tool in manga for characters to level up.
