The latest spoilers about Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 261 have left fans in disbelief with some shocking revelations. The previous chapter ended with an important plot twist and new spoilers will deal with that in a surprising way. Gojo Satoru has indeed returned, but surprisingly, it is Yuta Okkotsu in Gojo's body using Kenjaku's technique.
This chapter also clears up a major misconception about recent plot developments. Previously, it was believed that Yuta Okkotsu was responsible for the deaths of his superiors before the anticipated Gojo-Sukuna battle.
However, spoilers reveal that it was actually Gojo Satoru who killed them. This decision comes from Gojo himself, as he grapples with the ethical implications of his actions, choosing to keep his students unaware of this terrible mission.
The real culprit behind his superior's death
Gojo discussed his plan with Yuta, outlining the consequences of his actions. He believes that if he loses to Sukuna and the higher-ups are eliminated, Yoshinobu Gakuganji will take control of Jujutsu society. Gojo theorized that this change in power could prevent further chaos like the post-Shibuya incidents.
Despite Yuta's pleas for Gojo not to become a “monster”, Gojo feels this is a necessary step, suggesting he must “catch up” with someone he has left behind — possibly haunting him. refers to his best friend, Suguru Geto.

Suguru Geto, who changed significantly after the Star Plasma Vessel Arc, followed a dark path, earning him the titles “Worst Magician” and “Monster”. In a way, Gojo's actions mirror Geto's, as he chooses to bear the burden of killing his superiors.
This decision reflects Gojo's deep concern for his students and his desire to protect them from such horrors. By telling Yuta that “Love is the most twisted curse,” Gojo alludes to his own experience of losing Geto and the emotional turmoil that followed.
Gojo's loneliness is even more prominent despite being surrounded by students and colleagues at Jujutsu High School. His unique bond with Geto is irreplaceable, and without him, Gojo remains isolated. This loneliness and sense of responsibility cause him to take extreme actions to protect his students.
Ultimately, the fact that Gojo is responsible for the deaths of his superiors instead of Yuta is an important reveal. It emphasizes Gojo's protective nature and willingness to bear the consequences alone. By instructing his students to stay away when he commits that act,
Gojo ensures that they are not harmed, possibly predicting his own death in the battle against Sukuna. This self-sacrificing move was intended to free his students from the burden of guilt and allow them to move forward unhindered by his actions.
