Although the Jujutsu Kaisen manga wrapped up in September 2024, the anime adaptation still has a long journey ahead. Following the impact of the Shibuya Incident, expectations for the upcoming arcs are sky-high, but not all fans will be satisfied with the pacing of future events.
Satoru Gojo's Absence in Jujutsu Kaisen
The main reason for potential audience frustration in Season 4 is the prolonged absence of Satoru Gojo. After being sealed by Kenjaku in the Prison Realm, the world's most powerful sorcerer remains out of the picture for an extended period. Since Season 3 is expected to cover the preparation arcs and the start of the Culling Game, it is highly likely that Gojo will only return at the end of Season 4 or even in a future project.
According to the manga's timeline, Gojo is only unsealed in chapter 221, marking the beginning of the decisive battle against Sukuna. Given studio MAPPA's adaptation pacing, this epic fight could be reserved for the climax of Season 4 or even adapted into a feature-length film, leaving viewers hoping to see the character in action with a long wait ahead.
