Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 5: Gojo’s Best Friend

Almost a year late since the death of Riko Amanai, Gojo is testing out his techniques with Shoko and Suguru. He has managed to completely master his Limitless techniques and now is the strongest in Jujutsu Kaisen High. 

After the whole Time Plasma Vessel Incident, Suguru became more conflicted with his ideologies. While Gojo was busy doing missions on his own, Suguru began to question why Jujutsu even exists in the first place. He looks back at the day he decided to spare the lives of the Star Religious Group and regrets it.

We finally see more of the special grade curse user, Yuki Tsukumo, in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2. Fans will remember that Yuki is the mentor to Aoi Todo, one of the strongest characters in Jujutsu Kaisen

She has a deep conversation with Suguru Geto regarding Non-Sorceres. She aims at irradicating cursed energy to which Geto offers a solution to removing all non-curse users. Yuki says that it is the easiest solution to her problem but the least sensible one as well.

After losing young Yu Haibara, Suguru’s enthusiastic junior, the unsure young sorcerer revised the idea that being a jujutsu sorcerer is like running a marathon where the end of the road is just a mountain made of his fellow sorcerers’ corpses. On a mission following that incident, Suguru finds two young girls being mistreated by non-sorcerers for having curse-related abilities.

Suguru makes his decision and kills 112 residents of the village. Masamichi Yaga who is their teacher, informs Gojo of the incident who is as shocked and confused as the rest of them at Jujutsu Kaisen High. Meanwhile, Geto meets up with Shoko in Shinjuku.

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 5: What happens to Suguru now?

Shoko asks Suguru if he is innocent to which Suguru denies it and tells her of his plan to create a world without non-curse users (humans). Shoko calls Gojo and tells him that Geto is in Shinjuku. Gojo tracks him down and the two have a pretty explosive standoff. 

Gojo asks Suguru to explain himself and reminds him that he told him they should not kill people if there’s no point to do so. Suguru tells him that there is a point and that he is doing it for the greater good. Geto tells him that he has decided how he plans to live and he can kill him if he wants to, but Gojo is not able to do that, since Geto is his best friend.
