Season 2 of Jujutsu Kaisen the anime recounts a critical episode from Satoru Gojo's youth in which his best friend Suguru Geto decides that the world would be better without non-sorcerers. During a joint conversation with several members of Jujutsu KaisenThe cast and crew of Geto director Shota Goshozono explained the reason for what he calls Geto's “fall into darkness.”
In Jujutsu KaisenGeto is presented as a talented sorcerer with purely noble ambitions. However, his resolve falters after an eye-opening incident involving two child sorcerers and a city driven mad by grief and anger. According to Oricon, Goshozono explains how, for him, Geto's fall from grace is also tied to ongoing struggles within the larger community of jujutsu sorcerers. “For [Gojo’s Past arc]I had my theme in mind: how to interpret the reasons for Geto's fall into darkness and his actions and incorporate them into the anime… as a result, I came to the interpretation that Geto's actions in killing non-sorcerers and in creating a world of sorcerers by himself was not something he had done alone, but rather Geto's stress piled on top of the mountain of stress that the world of sorcery had been accumulating for a long time, until he finally broke through and to act. .”
The director of the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen explains the reason for Geto's final betrayal
According to Goshozono, his version of Gojo's past deliberately juxtaposes a “bright and entertaining” coming-of-age tale with later events to heighten the impact of the story arc's bleak conclusion. “I think one of the charms of Jujutsu Kaisen is that it defies expectations in a good way… the story goes from a smart and fun coming-of-age movie about Gojo and Geto to a complete twist with Riko's death, leading to a rift between Gojo and Geto. This is the greatest “betrayal” in history. [Once] we've come to that great betrayal,' I was conscious of giving it my all and creating the exact opposite of a brilliant and entertaining coming-of-age film to create an emotional gap.
The “Gojo's Past” story arc serves as a highly emotional preface Jujutsu Kaisen“The Shibuya Incident”, in which Gojo confronts Kenjaku, a powerful cursed entity who has taken control of Geto's body to create the world once imagined by the late sorcerer.
