Chapter 78

Premature Death, Part 3 (--) is the seventy-eight chapter of Akutami Gege's Jujutsu Kaisen.

Summary
Yaga tells Gojo about Geto killing the villagers and fleeing, as well as probably having killed his own parents. Gojo is in disbelief.

Outside in Shinjuku, Geto has a conversation with Shoko, confirming the kills and declaring his goal to make a world of only Jujutsu sorcerers. Shoko calls Gojo on the phone to tell him Geto is in Shinjuku.

Gojo finds Geto and demands that he explain himself. Geto answers, and Gojo angrily tells him that killing all non-sorcerers to make a world of only sorcerers is impossible. But Geto points out that Gojo could do it. Gojo gestures as if to use a cursed technique on Geto. Geto tells Gojo to kill him if he wants to. Geto starts walking away and Gojo can't bring himself to do it.

Yaga finds Gojo on some stairs later and asks why he let Geto go. At the end of their conversation, Gojo states that being strong isn't enough; he can only save those who are prepared to be saved.

Geto takes over the Time Vessel Association, violently killing Sonoda in the process.

Gojo finds Megumi (a child at the time) and notices how he looks just like "him" (Toji, his father).
