However, the excitement has grown too soon as The first leaked page appeared online, revealing an attractive illustration of Satoru Gojo with wide eyes.
This unexpected glimpse sparked a flurry of speculation among fans about the fate of their beloved character.
The last time we saw Gojo was in the climactic battle against Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses, where he faced a devastating World Slash attack. While his fate remains uncertain, this leaked artwork has sparked hope for his return, albeit a bit vague.
The cover of Volume 26, featuring Gojo, initially disappointed some fans, but the illustration inside reignited their enthusiasm. The depiction of Gojo as seemingly awakened has sparked speculation that this could signal his resurrection from the dead.

However, there is a counterargument that the illustration may capture the moment Gojo was attacked by Sukuna, causing his eyes to widen in shock.
Fans reacted with excitement mixed with disbelief. Many people are excited at the prospect of Gojo returning, with many theories circulating online. Some enthusiasts eagerly await the series of theories expected to emerge when the official version is released.
The notion of Gojo's death disappointed some fans, especially considering his confident assertion of victory in the face of his apparent defeat. However, if his return is indeed imminent, fans believe that his aura will be restored to full strength.
However, there is a cautious segment of fans who remain wary of creator Gege Akutami's tendency to tease and subvert expectations. They urge fellow enthusiasts not to be too hasty in accepting theories without specific evidence.
Interestingly, not all fans are in favor of Gojo's revival. Some argue that the story flourished in his absence, allowing other characters to shine. To them, bringing Gojo back would disrupt the flow of the story.
Given these different perspectives, fans should approach the theories with skepticism and wait for further developments before drawing conclusions. The complex world of Jujutsu Kaisen is filled with surprises and only time will reveal Satoru Gojo's true fate.
