Few friendships in anime carry the emotional weight of Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto from Jujutsu Kaisen. As soon as inseparable allies, their eventual cut up despatched shockwaves by way of Jujutsu Kaisen’s narrative and its fandom. For years, followers have interpreted Geto’s defection as a private betrayal or rejection, a painful fracture in a as soon as deeply bonded relationship. However a current revelation from Gojo’s voice actor, Yuichi Nakamura, presents a extra nuanced perspective on their falling out.

Talking throughout a Japanese screening of the Hidden Stock compilation movie based on Jujutsu Kaisen fan @Go_Jover on X, Nakamura shared insights that peel again the emotional layers of their parting. Slightly than portraying Geto as antagonistic towards Gojo, he framed their separation as the results of diverging philosophies, not animosity. It was not about rejection, it was about reaching totally different conclusions about the right way to stay in a world riddled with cursed power and ethical ambiguity.

“Even in Jujutsu Kaisen 0, I don’t assume Gojo actually understood Geto’s ideas. However he understood the logic behind them. And even then, I consider Gojo arrived on the stance, “Even when I get the place he’s(Geto) coming from, I wouldn’t struggle the identical approach.”

It’s not like Geto was rejecting Gojo totally or saying “I refuse to acknowledge you.” He merely determined to behave based on the conclusions he got here to on his personal. So quite than a shift of their relationship, my impression is extra like, “Ah, they ended up pondering in fully other ways.”
