Spoiler Warning: This article includes spoilers from the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, so proceed with caution.
Jujutsu Kaisen’s popularity is so grand that it can’t be questioned. The series that started with a straightforward story has taken a drastic and dark turn in the manga. Gege Akutami has snatched several fan-favorite characters from us; be it Gojo, Nanami, or Nobara. Megumi is also trapped by the King of Curses in his own body.
To be honest, only a few JJK characters are left in the picture who are the last hope for humanity. Recently, an illustration of the Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Clash DLC started making rounds on social media, flexing some of our favorite characters, but unexpectedly, fans aren’t pleased seeing it.
JJK Fans Aren’t Happy with the Latest Game Illustration
The new Jujutsu Kaisen illustration features Geto, Gojo, and Toji. However, it has nothing to do with the anime or the manga series; instead, the Illustration is for a DLC of the JJK Cursed Clash game. The characters are seen in their fighting poses and we can see curses in the background.
Geto, Gojo, and Toji are among the prominent characters of Jujutsu Kaisen, but unfortunately, all of them are dead in the story. Geto was killed by Gojo in Jujutsu Kaisen 0, but Gege decided to bring him back from the dead. He gave Kenjaku (the most wicked curse) the authority to possess his body and use him as a pawn.
Similarly, the mangaka brought Toji and Gojo back from the dead but without giving them control of their bodies. Toji was possessed by Granny Ogami and her grandson after his death while Yuta has been using Gojo’s body in the latest manga chapters.
By bringing our beloved characters back in the form of vessels, Gege has provoked worldwide JJK fans to dislike him beyond limits. That’s also why fans are visibly frustrated after seeing the recently released illustration, even if it has nothing to do with Akutami.

A comment from an X user states, ‘All three are dead and came back without control of their body. Gege is Cruel,’ ‘the way they’ve all been possessed after death 😭’ says another.

Gege is cruel
I can’t lie I’m having fun with Young Gojo on this game— Joe (@_NotJ0E_) May 31, 2024
However, several fans are also happy seeing a young Gojo in the game. So, there are at least some people who aren’t cursing the Mangaka after laying their eyes on the new artwork.
