Wait… Yuji going to Gojo’s storehouse to meet Panda actually changes everything.
In Chapter 23 he said he’ll create a deterrent for future generations once cursed energy is erased.
Meaning no real sorcerers anymore.
And this ties back to something people forgot.
That whole cursed corpse plotline just… vanished in OG JJK.
But now it clicks. Yaga cracked artificial life.
And the higher-ups killed Yaga because You can make an army.
Now look at Yuji’s plan.
Self-sustaining guardians that eliminate the few remaining spirits without creating more negativity.
Some details in the manga and from Gege (analysis)
For Gojo, becoming a teacher truly made him happy.Even though he was very busy, his greatest joy was discovering people with potential. According to the booklet, Gege said that Gojo’s happiest moments are when he encounters someone talented. Gege also mentioned that Gojo actively seeks out gifted individuals. I think every time he does this, it’s not just about gaining what he has always wanted,strong and intelligent Nakama, but also about nurturing a new generation that brings him one step closer to his dream.( he has hope for future )
There is a Q&A in the booklet saying that Gojo is actually very philosophical about death among his Nakama. That means he doesn’t become stuck or depressed because of it. In a Q&A, Gege described him as someone very accepting. Gege said Gojo would feel angry about Yuji’s death, but when it comes to the deaths of his Nakama, he is able to accept it. He is someone who sees such things with a broad perspective.( that’s why Gege said he pull himself together after what happened in HI)
However, because students represent the future and his dream, when the higher-ups harmed the students, he became furious. At that time, he clenched his fists and even thought about killing the higher-ups. But for the sake of a long-term vision, he endured it. ( Yuji’s death)
Don’t be fooled by how humorous and carefree he seems on the surface. In reality, whether it’s teaching, his ideals, or his long-term goals, he has his own thoughts and convictions. He may look indifferent and frivolous, but he is actually facing life in his own deliberate way.
As for Sukuna, he is a rare worthy opponent. In a Shueisha promotional PV, the narration stated that Gojo had never before had someone who could stand on equal with him. (唯一手に入れなかだものは、自分と対等の存在)Yet in that same visual, the one shown alongside him was Sukuna. This implies that, for Gojo, Sukuna is that rare opponent with whom he can truly have a proper battle ,someone strong enough to let him fight , someone who makes the fight interesting. That’s why, at the airport scene, Gojo described Sukuna as “interesting.” When facing an opponent close to his own level, he feels happy because he can finally enjoy an interesting fight.
So in a certain sense, although Sukuna cannot understand everything about Gojo, they strangely reach a kind of balance at one point, a resonance between the strongest. This isn’t about arguing power levels, but about the fact that for someone as overwhelmingly strong as Gojo, it’s extremely rare to meet an opponent who can genuinely challenge and excite him. Sukuna is one of the few who can.
This may also be why Gege arranged the story that way.
The only person Gojo tried to teach about love was Sukuna. And that attempt is built upon a unique resonance that exists only between the strongest and the strongest.
It’s not about romance or sentimentality, but about something that can only occur at that level when two overwhelmingly powerful beings recognize each other.

I don’t know. This isn’t something I’ve discussed with the company or anything. It’s just that I’m feeling a bit frustrated. I know saying this will probably cause me more trouble, but… I don’t know.
I’m just someone who really loves singing, loves music, loves the stage, loves hearing your cheers, loves seeing you all. I’m someone who wants to be candid/frank. If I’ve done something wrong, I want to be able to admit it. I don’t know. You guys, the people who support me—(*talking to himself) so bad at talking, you idiot—there are many people who support me, and there are also all very diverse people out there. But, still, there’s ARMY, right? And within those who are part of ARMY, there are many different kinds of people. What I want to tell you is this—though I can’t say it directly, it’s sensitive.
There’s nothing that can replace you. What I mean is, without you guys—ah, damn, I don’t even know how to put this, I’m sorry everyone—if I didn’t have ARMY, if ARMY didn’t exist… even so, sure, I might still feel h—no not happiness���, I might still feel joy in certain moments, I might still have pleasure, in certain moments, just in those fleeting moments. Of course, in the grand scheme of things, there must be lots of things I learn as I live my life. Even if you don't understand, I don't know, I'll just put it in my way of saying it.
The reason I want to sing well, is it for my family? No. Is it for the people I like? No. Is it because of the members? No. The reason I want to dance well, the reason I listen to music—it’s not because of the members, not because of the people I like, and not because of my family. I’m a very simple person. I don’t really listen to music in my daily life. I only listen to it because I want to get better. Because I don’t want to fall behind. I don’t even know what I’m talking about anymore. I’m just stuck. There’s really only one reason why I want to do well. Just one. You guys love me, and naturally there are more who do. But putting that aside, the people who actually make me want to do something, who create that desire in me… it’s really only you guys, the people watching this live right now.
I know there are many people who don’t support me, who hate me, who want to tear me down, or even want me dead. There probably are many who hate me. So what? I don’t care. I have those who have supported me—those who recognize that I think for myself and that I’m a person with a sincere heart. No, but, if I say it that way, it feels like I’m being too selfish. That’s not it either. People can get hurt, they can get hurt because of me. It’s not that I don’t understand that, so I don’t know how to say this. I’m not good with words like Namjoon hyung. I don’t know what to do. I’m not someone who reads a lot, and I’m not someone who speaks logically and precisely. I just want my heart to be delivered—f*ck—what should I do? This is so annoying. These days, while preparing things, my thoughts and my personality have changed much. I’m just feeling overwhelmed. I don’t know how I should say what I want to say. This is driving me crazy. It's annoying.
The reason I sing and dance—like I’ve always said in interviews—is because there are people watching. If no one’s watching, why would I sing or dance? That’s true, isn't it? If no one’s watching, why would I write songs? There’s no reason to. That’s the one thing I wanted to say. Everything I do—how I move, what I want to do, what I have to do—it’s not because I’m completely free* (Note: doing whatever I please). It’s because you guys are waiting for me. I’m not asking you to acknowledge this. I just wanted to say it. That’s all. You don’t even have to understand.
I should probably delete this live. I just… I don’t know. Let’s delete it. It’ll probably end up on YouTube. Ah, I shouldn’t have done this live, why did I? So annoying. I’m sorry, everyone. I don’t know. I guess I was just holding a lot in. I’m human too. I’m someone with a limit to how much I can handle. I’m the type of person whose frustrations overflow once time passes. I don’t know. I just want to enjoy. Though it’s probably not possible. I know all too well that I live a more comfortable life than others. I’m sorry for starting this live before I had my thoughts organized. I wish I could say it clearly, but I don’t fully understand my emotions. Anyway, putting all that aside. To all ARMYs who have come to this live and are leaving comments, and even to those who might be leaving hate comments—thank you all, because it’s still a form of interest. I’ll leave this here. Is it because the comeback is coming soon that I have so many thoughts? I don’t lack confidence. The music turned out great.
