The return of Satoru Gojo from the dreaded Prison Realm was arguably the most anticipated moment in modern manga history, marking the end of a sealing that lasted over three years for real-world readers and countless chapters for the *Jujutsu Kaisen* narrative. As of December 20, 2025, the dust has settled on the immediate aftermath of his unsealing, revealing a Gojo who was not only mentally intact but also instantly ready to reclaim his title as the strongest sorcerer.

The events following the unsealing in *Jujutsu Kaisen* Chapter 221 were a whirlwind, immediately catapulting the manga into its final, most intense phase. Gojo's reappearance was not a quiet reunion; it was a seismic event that instantly shifted the power balance, leading to the legendary confrontation known as "The Battle of the Strongest" against Ryomen Sukuna. Fans were left reeling by his shocking actions and unwavering confidence.

1. The Instantaneous Confrontation with Kenjaku

One of the most satisfying moments for fans came immediately upon Gojo's release. He didn't waste a second to process his surroundings or catch up on the events of the Culling Game. Instead, the first entity he faced was Kenjaku, the ancient sorcerer possessing the body of his best friend, Suguru Geto.

The unsealing itself was a tense affair. The back gate of the Prison Realm, which Hana Kurusu and her allies managed to locate and open, was submerged underwater. As Gojo emerged, he was met by Kenjaku and his ally, Uraume.

Gojo's reaction was a mixture of shock and immediate aggression. He paused briefly, momentarily thrown off balance by hearing the voice of 'Geto' speak to him—the only moment of weakness Kenjaku could exploit. However, this hesitation was fleeting. Gojo quickly stabilized, confirming his mental fortitude had not been compromised by the Prison Realm's isolated space. He immediately declared his intention to take down Kenjaku, showcasing his unwavering focus on the mission.

2. His Unwavering Mental State and Physical Readiness

A major fan concern throughout the sealing was the potential for psychological damage. The Prison Realm is a space of infinite isolation, designed to break the will of its occupants. Gojo, however, emerged completely unfazed.

The manga strongly suggests that Gojo used his time inside the realm constructively. Theories abound that since the realm seemingly suppresses Cursed Energy usage, Gojo may have spent the entire time training his physical body to kill time, emerging in peak physical condition.

His first words and actions post-unsealing demonstrated absolute confidence, a trait that had been missed by his allies. He was immediately ready to fight the world's strongest threats, proving that even three years of isolation could not diminish the power of the Six Eyes or the spirit of the strongest sorcerer. His first priority was not a debriefing, but a declaration of war against the forces that had sealed him.

3. The Immediate Challenge to Ryomen Sukuna

The most consequential action Gojo took upon his return was setting the stage for "The Battle of the Strongest." After a brief, high-tension exchange with Kenjaku, Gojo made a direct challenge to the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna, who was currently inhabiting Megumi Fushiguro's body.

This was not a long-term plan; it was an immediate, decisive move. Gojo understood that Kenjaku’s plan, the Culling Game, and the fate of the jujutsu world hinged on the confrontation between the two strongest entities. He didn't hesitate to give Sukuna a specific date for their battle, which would take place in Shinjuku. This move was a tactical masterstroke, forcing the final confrontation on his terms and preventing further escalation of Kenjaku's scheme.

The resulting battle, spanning numerous manga chapters, became a showcase of their respective abilities, including multiple Domain Expansions, advanced Reverse Cursed Technique usage, and relentless hand-to-hand combat. Gojo's first major act post-sealing was to engage in a fight that would determine the entire future of the jujutsu world, proving his readiness to face the ultimate threat.

4. A Newfound Respect for Toji Fushiguro's Legacy

While Gojo's power is rooted in the Limitless and the Six Eyes, his time in the Prison Realm may have subtly shifted his perspective, leading to a quiet acknowledgement of the late Zenin clan outcast, Toji Fushiguro.

Toji, the "Sorcerer Killer," was the only person to ever truly defeat Gojo in his youth, a feat achieved because Toji possessed zero Cursed Energy. This lack of CE made him invisible to fate and Gojo's Six Eyes, allowing him to break the cycle of jujutsu power. Gojo's reflection on this concept became a part of his internal monologue post-Prison Realm.

By being sealed, Gojo was momentarily removed from the flow of Cursed Energy and the world's fate, mirroring Toji's unique existence. This subtle connection suggests that Gojo may have gained a deeper appreciation for the concept of 'breaking fate,' a theme that resonated as he prepared to face the ultimate destiny-defining battle against Sukuna. This intellectual shift showed a more mature and reflective Gojo, ready to face an opponent who was also a master of sorcerer-vs-sorcerer combat.

5. Reaffirming His Role as the Pinnacle of Power

Gojo's return wasn't just about a fight; it was about re-establishing the hierarchy of power. For over a hundred chapters, the world was allowed to descend into chaos because its strongest pillar was absent. The Culling Game was only possible because Kenjaku had successfully removed Gojo from the board.

Upon his unsealing, Gojo’s mere presence immediately negated Kenjaku's tactical advantage. His first words and demeanor—cocky, powerful, and utterly confident—reminded every character, and every reader, that he was still the undisputed strongest. He didn't need time to power up or recover; he was at 100% capacity the moment the Prison Realm opened.

This instantaneous return to form was crucial for the morale of his allies like Yuta Okkotsu, Maki Zenin, and Yuji Itadori, and a necessary psychological blow to his enemies. His role was not merely to fight, but to be the symbol of hope and the ultimate deterrent, a role he immediately and unapologetically embraced by scheduling the final, decisive battle.
