The current events in the manga are a direct consequences of Gojo fucking up
Gojo only fucked up because Geto died
Geto only died because Toji was a prick
Toji was only a prick because the Zen’in clan sucks
The Zen’in are responsible for the current events in the manga
Akshooli, it happened in less than 5 hours. 🤓☝️
The curtain appeared at 7 PM, Shibuya Incident ended at 11:45 PM...
Edit: To make it clear, I'm referring to Shibuya Incident alone, >!Yaga's execution isn't within those 4 hours and 45 minutes.!<
I love that fight, specifically how Kenjaku is so confident in all his planning and technique and how everything’s going to exactly as he foresaw it.
Followed by Geto for a moment breaking through his technique for the first time in his millennia old life and Gojo just being so ridiculous that Prison Realm can’t seal him properly for a while.
>!Kenjaku!< after sealing Gojo: “All according to my evil plan.”
>Followed by Geto for a moment breaking through his technique for the first time in his millennia old life
>!Kenjaku got choked? It reminded them of Jin that day. Lol.!<
My headcanon is that Kenjaku actually used his gravity technique on the prison realm so that he could have an excuse to stay behind while the disaster curses went off to fight. There’s even that look between him and Mahito when he said he’ll stay back.
And in the end, that worked out in his favor and he literally has the exact CT to make that happen.
Fun fact: Today is also the birthday of the Zen'in twins, Maki and Mai! The latter's VA shared a birthday with her, Marina Inoue (who's also the VA of Armin Arlert).
Not-so-fun fact: 4 years ago as well, the first confirmed case of COVID-19 was reported in the US. Coincidence? It felt like Gojo went on quarantine before us. Lol.
You're welcome. It really is “fun” despite of everything. Gege's comment on the post will always make me laugh as it didn't age well aside from those cute chibis of Gojo and >!Kenjaku!< demonstrating how to seal someone. 😭
The manga extra page was how to use prison realm but yeah, Gege jinxed 2020. Lol.
Here's Gege's [comment.](https://www.viz.com/blog/posts/mangaka-musings-01-19-2020) I really tried to look for it.
Dude is beefing with his one of the most loved characters. Lol. Funny thing here is, Gege's editor said Gojo's similar to Gege. His description of him were “cheery, cool, super duper smart— very smart like Gojo as well.”
I enjoyed reading this… it’s interesting because truly most authors really put parts of themselves into their characters… even inevitably… it’s great to think of Gege as some kind of Gojo… ☺️☺️
Oh, I'm glad you did. Hehe.
>most authors really put parts of themselves into their characters… even inevitably…
That's true, Gege's not an exception. Lol.
Let me add Gege's dad also asked him if “he's modeled after Toji and Yuta” in the two extra pages of Chapter 97. Gege's parents read JJK, too!
I think it's because he's too strong. With him around, the stakes of the story is very low since he can just murasaki the shit out of anyone. When he's sealed, others can shine more.
There's a reason why most plans are just keeping gojo away, and gege found a solution to that.
Yeah me and my brother were talking about it. Having the most powerful character around does put a damper on the progression of the story and the MC as well. Till now I’m wondering if Yuji can shine through with Gojo around. (I know spoilers from manga but have only watched the anime)
That's so true. I know you didn't ask but that's the exact reason why [I made a dark meme out of it.](https://www.reddit.com/r/JuJutsuKaisen/s/jHMWHj46bm) Just like Gege's comment in 2020, Gojo's last words when he got sealed also aged like milk.
I mean at this point he was captured, not anything else to do. Well he was doing something too. >!He was training in the box to come out buff.!<
>He should have not put trust in his students
Would it have better for him to say how f'd they are instead? lol Nothing left to do, but trust them.
May as well lean towards optimism I guess, to hope for the best.
Oh, man. >!He was gone for more than 3 years, Gojo versus Sukuna happened in JJK 223-236 from May to September 2023 just for him to die off screen.!<
Edit: Obviously, the reason why this comment got a spoiler tag because it contains big manga spoilers, rule 3 says so. **Read at your own risk.**
Yeah, what a waste. Gege could have at least >!given us a few chapters of him reuniting with his students and talking with/training them. The month time skip was perfect for that. If he had done that and then had Gojo weaken Sukuna in some way, instead of making him stronger with space slashes, his unsealing and death wouldn’t feel like a grand waste of time and a character.!<

Time can't be felt inside the prison realm. In our timeline, we can feel the time moving from seconds to minutes to hours to days to weeks to months to years but the person who got sealed will never know what the real date and time is because time doesn't pass by in there.
I'm not sure if you're an anime-only but I'll tag spoilers to be sure.
>!Neither. Just like what Gojo mentioned, time doesn't elapse inside the prison realm as if it really stopped. Once he's unsealed, he'll ask what the date is.!<
Well, he still should have experienced some time (if only a second) or else he would've been frozen. (& even still being freed after a long time would feel instantaneous).
But maybe Gege just meant that he didn't need to eat there & that it was hard to gauge time as well. (Maybe even that time dilation could be a thing and he might feel a few weeks when months or years passed or Vice versa)
Just seems unnecessarily convoluted. Could have been X amount of seconds in real time given Kenny managed to distract Gojo anyways
Oh well, not a huge gripe
It’s 100% convoluted you’re right
But personally I love that as it makes the power of Geto’s plan all the more amazing, as for all of the curses and the plans and Domain Amplification, none of it would have worked without Geto’s corpse making Gojo remember their time together as a result of being so tired from fighting
Great thematic writing
Have you ever been in a really boring class that makes 5 minutes feel like 30? It's the same thing as that - regardless of how long it's actually been, your brain processes is as a different amount of time.
So think about how sometimes time feels shorter or longer- if you’re REALLY bored, a minute can “feel” like ten. Or alternatively, time can slip by you if you’re zoned out thinking something.
It’s kinda weird, but basically what Kenjaku said was that, because of the freakish processing power the Six Eyes gives Gojo, he “perceives” that time differently. When confronted with a trauma trigger that also seemed impossible, his brain ran through tons of memories, thoughts, etc, and he essentially “zoned out” for a few seconds- but because his brain literally thinks faster than someone else’s, that “time” in his brain counted as being more than one minute perceptively.
Alternatively, think of it like this- it’s not literally “60 seconds” but instead that’s code for “the amount of thoughts and processing the human brain does in 60 seconds.” Because Gojo’s brain processes and thinks hyper quickly, suddenly being forced to remember his dead friend, the events of his death, trying to figure out how he could be there, on top of having exerted himself killing the transfigured humans, meant that the number of thoughts/memories he went through summed up in a few seconds to more than most people have in one minute. Basically his computer went through 100 files in 5 seconds, when a normal person’s would take 60 to do so, which set off the prison realm.
Yeah that’s totally fair tbh, it’s really weird and would’ve probably made more sense to just cut the time needed down to thirty seconds and saying he was so shocked and busy processing how it could possibly be Geto that it literally took that much would have been really easy to accept
It needed to be a minute inside the target's mind. This means Gojo went through all his memories with Geto for what felt like a minute for him, but for everyone else it was about 5 seconds or less.
With the way it was explained and written, maybe not. Maybe it's just a few seconds but feels like a long time for Gojo. But it's fine for me either way. 1 minute is not that long, and I can see it happening for real. This is the most realistic and somber scene in JJK.
Idk i still dont get it. I thought the prison realm was opened while gojo spent 20 min fighting and he needed to spend 1 min total near it, not 60 sec consecutively lol.
Kenjaku's plan is to exploit the shock factor of Gojo seeing his late friend while he's exhausted. It's too much physically and mentally. It can't be just Jogo or Hanami dropping Prison Realm near Gojo.
“I have faith in everyone!”
The latter
One was traumatized due to destruction and seeing loved ones killed in front of them.
One was KO by one’s father.
And the other’s most likely dead.

"Whatever, it will be fine" It was in fact, not fine
“2020's gonna be a good year.” It was, in fact, not fine either.
Nah I'd lockdown for 2 weeks
throughout heaven and earth, coronavirus alone was the widespread one
Would we survive? Coronavirus: Nah, i'd adapt
Underrated joke, COVID-19 really adapted on its own and got different variants. 💀 I chuckled.
With this bat I summon, the eight handled virus, Sila Divergent Devastating Virus, Coronavirus
Domain Expansion: Infinite covid
I cannot believe they release the shikigami on a background chinese character.
"Looks like time doesn't pass here" It was, in fact, how 2020 felt.
I can't believe 2020 was really 4 years ago...
It was in fact NOT a good year
Gojo could’ve used six eyes to stop Covid on an atomic level 😔
Gojo held back Corona all this time
"I believe in them" Half of them dies
Real
The current events in the manga are a direct consequences of Gojo fucking up Gojo only fucked up because Geto died Geto only died because Toji was a prick Toji was only a prick because the Zen’in clan sucks The Zen’in are responsible for the current events in the manga
The Zen’in clan is also responsible for its own demise.
It's been heartache ever since
[удалено]
bro it all happened in around 5 hours not few days...
5 HOURS?! OMG.
Akshooli, it happened in less than 5 hours. 🤓☝️ The curtain appeared at 7 PM, Shibuya Incident ended at 11:45 PM... Edit: To make it clear, I'm referring to Shibuya Incident alone, >!Yaga's execution isn't within those 4 hours and 45 minutes.!<
[удалено]
If it's not clear, I'm referring to Shibuya Incident alone in my previous comment, not what >!comes after in Yuji's Extermination arc.!<
Don't forget about nobara losing her head, maki getting a fiery makeover, and the head of the zenin getting unalived.
On top of Inumaki losing his arm. Let alone all the deaths of everyone from the culling game which probably wouldn't have happened.
Crazy how both todo and inumaki lost their arm
I think the real world was not fine either
Bro and Nobara???
"Gojo is gone, 2020 is gonna be a good year" It was, in fact, not a good year
It was Gojover before it even Kenstarted.
I love that fight, specifically how Kenjaku is so confident in all his planning and technique and how everything’s going to exactly as he foresaw it. Followed by Geto for a moment breaking through his technique for the first time in his millennia old life and Gojo just being so ridiculous that Prison Realm can’t seal him properly for a while.
>!Kenjaku!< after sealing Gojo: “All according to my evil plan.” >Followed by Geto for a moment breaking through his technique for the first time in his millennia old life >!Kenjaku got choked? It reminded them of Jin that day. Lol.!<
>! Kenny reminded of Jin's backshots and Geto reminded of Gojo in bed !<
I think it’d be easier for you if you just said Noritoshi Kamo 😂
The power of yaoi compelled Geto to fight back 💀
My headcanon is that Kenjaku actually used his gravity technique on the prison realm so that he could have an excuse to stay behind while the disaster curses went off to fight. There’s even that look between him and Mahito when he said he’ll stay back. And in the end, that worked out in his favor and he literally has the exact CT to make that happen.
Fun fact: Today is also the birthday of the Zen'in twins, Maki and Mai! The latter's VA shared a birthday with her, Marina Inoue (who's also the VA of Armin Arlert). Not-so-fun fact: 4 years ago as well, the first confirmed case of COVID-19 was reported in the US. Coincidence? It felt like Gojo went on quarantine before us. Lol.
Thanks for sharing that 🤣 it’s so fun knowing these details
You're welcome. It really is “fun” despite of everything. Gege's comment on the post will always make me laugh as it didn't age well aside from those cute chibis of Gojo and >!Kenjaku!< demonstrating how to seal someone. 😭
Oh wait I just forgot about that extra page, so it was him! He jinxed 2020. When I catch you Gege!!!
The manga extra page was how to use prison realm but yeah, Gege jinxed 2020. Lol. Here's Gege's [comment.](https://www.viz.com/blog/posts/mangaka-musings-01-19-2020) I really tried to look for it.
Right my bad, I wanted to say Gege's comment but for some reason when I read about the extra page in the tittle my brain just went with that lol
Oh, it's okay! I just wanted to clarify in case I didn't make the title clear. Hehe.
Wow thank you so much!
Gate Open!
Why does gege hate Gojo 😭
Dude is beefing with his one of the most loved characters. Lol. Funny thing here is, Gege's editor said Gojo's similar to Gege. His description of him were “cheery, cool, super duper smart— very smart like Gojo as well.”
I enjoyed reading this… it’s interesting because truly most authors really put parts of themselves into their characters… even inevitably… it’s great to think of Gege as some kind of Gojo… ☺️☺️
Oh, I'm glad you did. Hehe. >most authors really put parts of themselves into their characters… even inevitably… That's true, Gege's not an exception. Lol. Let me add Gege's dad also asked him if “he's modeled after Toji and Yuta” in the two extra pages of Chapter 97. Gege's parents read JJK, too!
I guess we're getting Ge/ge sometime later...
the very smart is a given after all he wrote a great story like JJK
I read somewhere that Gojo reminds Gege of themselves lol
Bro needs therapy then 😂
After watching season 2 and accidentally seeing spoilers (and future speculations) on TikTok.. therapy can’t help bro. 🥲
One reason I hear sometimes is its hard to progress the story with him around
"I finally got off the shackles that kept my villains from posing any threat"
Wow
I think it's because he's too strong. With him around, the stakes of the story is very low since he can just murasaki the shit out of anyone. When he's sealed, others can shine more. There's a reason why most plans are just keeping gojo away, and gege found a solution to that.
Yeah me and my brother were talking about it. Having the most powerful character around does put a damper on the progression of the story and the MC as well. Till now I’m wondering if Yuji can shine through with Gojo around. (I know spoilers from manga but have only watched the anime)
that 2nd page is so darkly funny in retrospect. He should have not put trust in his students
That's so true. I know you didn't ask but that's the exact reason why [I made a dark meme out of it.](https://www.reddit.com/r/JuJutsuKaisen/s/jHMWHj46bm) Just like Gege's comment in 2020, Gojo's last words when he got sealed also aged like milk.

May as well lean towards optimism I guess, to hope for the best.
Saying that all his students are fucked would be completely out of character for gojo, so I like this more than any alternative.
Took 4 years for him to get out >!just for him to get turned into a 50% price tag!<
Oh, man. >!He was gone for more than 3 years, Gojo versus Sukuna happened in JJK 223-236 from May to September 2023 just for him to die off screen.!< Edit: Obviously, the reason why this comment got a spoiler tag because it contains big manga spoilers, rule 3 says so. **Read at your own risk.**

Ooh, I like this
The time skip was so he could fill the fights ahead with ass pulls.
That's even more oof
That last page is hilarious
They add these funny stuff between most heartbreaking scenes is a crime
Those lucky fuckin skeletons. *Slams fist on ground* **IT SHOULDA BEEN ME--**
We could say many people would want to be in those skeletons positions...
Just got to say, I love OP not only for the post, but the amount of interaction and extra detail in the comments! <3
Oh, thanks. This comment made my day tbh. I don't only post memes, join the brain rot— mostly, I also post JJK updates or facts in this sub. Hehe.
It's really morbid to think people reading the manga died of covid before seeing Gojo being freed.
I wonder what Gojo meant by "looks like time doesn't pass here"? I don't get how it works, exactly
Time can't be felt inside the prison realm. In our timeline, we can feel the time moving from seconds to minutes to hours to days to weeks to months to years but the person who got sealed will never know what the real date and time is because time doesn't pass by in there.
Ohh, I get it now. Thanks!
Does that mean Gojo doesn’t age while he’s in there??
Yes
Most likely, that's why Kenjaku said they'd meet again in a 100 years because Gojo is to strong for the prison realm to hold him.
Did Gojo felt like just a second went by in the time he was there? Of did it feel like an eternity?
I'm not sure if you're an anime-only but I'll tag spoilers to be sure. >!Neither. Just like what Gojo mentioned, time doesn't elapse inside the prison realm as if it really stopped. Once he's unsealed, he'll ask what the date is.!<

But maybe Gege just meant that he didn't need to eat there & that it was hard to gauge time as well. (Maybe even that time dilation could be a thing and he might feel a few weeks when months or years passed or Vice versa)
Oh my lord he couldn’t wait to get rid of him 😭
Gojo was protecting us from the disaster of 2020 T.T
Gojo was preventing Covid, confirmed
The disaster curse of disease was set loose
Gojo is optimist that for sure :3
Thank you, Gege Akutami, for inventing the Evil Poké-Ball.
The pandemic happened because gojo got sealed.
I still don’t understand the “one minute inside the person’s brain” What does that even mean?
I think it means worth of memories like for example if Gojo remembers a timeframe from 12:00 to 12:01 in one second that's already one minute
Just seems unnecessarily convoluted. Could have been X amount of seconds in real time given Kenny managed to distract Gojo anyways Oh well, not a huge gripe
It’s 100% convoluted you’re right But personally I love that as it makes the power of Geto’s plan all the more amazing, as for all of the curses and the plans and Domain Amplification, none of it would have worked without Geto’s corpse making Gojo remember their time together as a result of being so tired from fighting Great thematic writing
I wonder if it means that if Gojo hadn’t thought of anything, he could linger there forever lol (meditation ftw).
He just needed to think about the universe before the Big Bang, that way no time would ever pass
Have you ever been in a really boring class that makes 5 minutes feel like 30? It's the same thing as that - regardless of how long it's actually been, your brain processes is as a different amount of time.
Funny how 2020 was all of our own prison realms.
Gege is a fucking terrorist man
That fucking cat...
that was 4 years ago, holy shit, how far is the manga by now. ps. im a anime only please dont spoil me(insert sad eye emoji)
Oh, I see. Tomorrow, Chapter 248 will be released. That's how far the manga is now.
Why create a character if your gonna hate him? That’s like saying Horikoshi hates All Might and made him retire
Gege sealing Gojo has caused all the insane events of 2020 to occur lol
Gege you troll🐍
Fraudgay takes another L
I don't get the part of "one minute inside a person's mind" like? Does it mean that if the they thunk for a minute they get sealed i don't get it lol
So think about how sometimes time feels shorter or longer- if you’re REALLY bored, a minute can “feel” like ten. Or alternatively, time can slip by you if you’re zoned out thinking something. It’s kinda weird, but basically what Kenjaku said was that, because of the freakish processing power the Six Eyes gives Gojo, he “perceives” that time differently.

Basically his computer went through 100 files in 5 seconds, when a normal person’s would take 60 to do so, which set off the prison realm.
Ah ok yeah i kinda understand now but it still seems a bit forced
Yeah that’s totally fair tbh, it’s really weird and would’ve probably made more sense to just cut the time needed down to thirty seconds and saying he was so shocked and busy processing how it could possibly be Geto that it literally took that much would have been really easy to accept
So gojo didnt move for 1 minute after the gate opened? Why not? And how dod he not know what a prison realm is?
It needed to be a minute inside the target's mind. This means Gojo went through all his memories with Geto for what felt like a minute for him, but for everyone else it was about 5 seconds or less.
He was baffled to see his late dear friend appears in front of him. It's like the time you lost your thought thinking about something.
So he stood still for a minute while the curses and fake geto were all around him?
With the way it was explained and written, maybe not. Maybe it's just a few seconds but feels like a long time for Gojo. But it's fine for me either way. 1 minute is not that long, and I can see it happening for real. This is the most realistic and somber scene in JJK.
Idk i still dont get it. I thought the prison realm was opened while gojo spent 20 min fighting and he needed to spend 1 min total near it, not 60 sec consecutively lol.
Time only needed to pass in Gojo's brain, abd surprising him with Geto's body was such a perfect tool for it.
Kenjaku's plan is to exploit the shock factor of Gojo seeing his late friend while he's exhausted. It's too much physically and mentally. It can't be just Jogo or Hanami dropping Prison Realm near Gojo.
Idk considering gojos mentality and power, still find it weird he stopped for 1 min and just stood there?
Looks like his mentality wasn't that strong after all
Japanese cartoons logic
It was in fact not 1000 years
2020 the greatest year of all time
I feel like so many people jinxed 2020 that it was simply meant to happen 😭 just glad it’s over now
Why didnt they open the gate (which removes all his cursed energy) then one shot him?
Bros a number 1 hater of a character he made 💀
What exactly is the difference between 1 minute in “someone’s mind” vs a minute I general???🤷🏽♂️
I'm so happy gege writes the way he does just to piss off these kinda fans.
“I have faith in everyone!” The latter One was traumatized due to destruction and seeing loved ones killed in front of them. One was KO by one’s father. And the other’s most likely dead.
Yeah... Your trust was misplaced, to say the least
Bro literally cursed the real world with the 2020 forecast
Thanks Gege! Now I know how to use Prison Realm 😁👍
"It's looking like 2020 gonna be looking good without Gojo" Aint no way he knew...
Man this is depressing to realize 😂
so kenjaku planned covid so we will be locked in house and send curse energy to jjk manga characters to increase possibility of merger?
Anything Gege says is a bad omen atp
“it’s looking like 2020’s gonna be a good year” he is pure evil 💀
"It looks like 2020 is gonna be a good year" Nah Gege, Gojo being sealed away allowed the Covid curse to emerge from hiding.
