Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen began its run in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump on March 4, 2018, in the 14th issue of the magazine that year. Since then, Gojo Satoru has been established as the face of the entire franchise. Even though Gojo was never the main character of the series, his popularity was incredible and saw him become a global icon.

However, eventually, Gojo Satoru's era had to end, and that officially came to be in the Shinjuku Showdown arc. Decades have passed since then, and finally, Gege Akutami has established his permanent replacement for Gojo Satoru in Japan, and it is none other than his own student, Yuji Itadori. Gege's latest release of Jujutsu Kaisen confirms that Yuji Itadori is carrying out the same job as Gojo Satoru and has inherited all his dreams, which he will see fulfilled until he eventually dies 300 years later.

Gojo Satoru ended up becoming the face of Jujutsu Kaisen immediately after the beginning of the manga due to his wild popularity. Eventually, his era came to an end with the release of Chapter 236 on September 24, 2023, in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 43. In this chapter, Gojo Satoru's battle against Ryomen Sukuna finally ended, and he ended up dying in the process. Gojo's death came as a shock to the vast majority of the fans of the series , but it is one that cemented his legacy even further. Gojo's character continued to be brought up in the manga in the subsequent chapters through a multitude of flashbacks, which went to show his incredible importance to the series.
