Gojo's Past Arc

The Gojo's Past Arc is the seventh arc in Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen.

Mission from Tengen
Utahime and Mei Mei are investigating a house when they figure out that a Cursed Spirit has trapped them. As the two discuss how they should make their escape, Gojo suddenly uses his technique to destroy the house and frees the two. As Utahime starts to complain about how she didn't ask for his help, a spirit suddenly appears behind her. Geto appears and has one of his spirits devour the spirit before it can attack Utahime. Suddenly Shoko appears and explains to them that they showed up because the two hadn't called for two days. As Gojo comments about how its rare for a spirit's barrier to affect time, but Mei Mei simply asks where's the screen which Gojo, Geto, and Shoko has a confused look on their faces.

Later at the Tokyo college, a news report is playing about the destruction of the house that Mei Mei and Utahime were investigation while Masamichi tries to figure out who forgot to put up a screen. Gojo says that they are better than pointing the finger at each other, but Shoko and Geto point the finger at Gojo and Masamichi punishes Gojo for his mistake.

Later Geto, Gojo, and Shoko are in a classroom, and they discuss how its important for shamans to protect the people from Cursed Spirits. As Geto comments about how it their job to protect the weak, Gojo responds that he has that righteous stuff. The two get into an argument which almost ends up in a fight but Masamichi enters the room. Masamichi asks where Shoko is, but Geto and Gojo say that they don't know. Masamichi says that it doesn't matter since Geto and Gojo will be going on a mission that was assigned by Tengen. Masamichi explains how The Star Plasma Vessel has a perfect match and that their mission is to escort the girl and erase her. As Geto and Gojo are confused why Masamichi assigning this mission. Masamichi explains to them that Tengen has the immortality Technique and how the technique will make Tengen ascend to a higher state. Gojo wonders what the problem is, which Geto explains that everything that Tengen strengthens will disappear. Geto also explains how in order to not ascend, Tengen has to merge with a Star Plasma Vessel to stop the ascension. Masamichi also tells them that the location of the Star Plasma Vessel has been leaked, and that the vessel is being targeted by the Cursed User Group Q and the Time Vessel Association. Masamichi finals tells them that the two will escorting the vessel in two days so that Tengen can merge with it, and send them on their way.

Escorting the Vessel
Sometime later, Geto and Gojo are on their way to the Star Plasma Vessel's location and discuss why the Time Vessel Association are after the Vessel. Geto comments about how the Time Vessel Association is not a threat since they are a group of non-curse users group that just worship pure Tengen, and that they will have to look out for the Cursed User group Q. As the reach the Star Plasma Vessel's location, an explosion happens and a Q soldier named Kokun tosses the Star Plasma Vessel out of the building. Geto quickly rescues the vessel, which Kokun notices this and demands Geto to hand over the girl. On the ground, Gojo is confronted by a Q soldier named Vayer and the two start to fight.

At another location, a member of Star Vessel Association is meeting with a member of the Zenin clan about assassinating the Star Plasma vessel. The guy says that he goes by Fushiguro now and that he accept his offer. Back at the Star Plasma Vessel's location, Geto and Gojo easily defeats the Q soldier, which results in the organization to disband shortly after. Elsewhere, Fushiguro is betting at a race track when he meets with the Mediator from the Star Vessel Association. The mediator asks Fushiguro is doing, which Fushiguro that he is using others to weaken Gojo before he can do anything. The mediator gets up to leave but quickly asks Fushiguro how Megumi is, which Fushiguro asks who that is.

Back at the Star Plasma Vessel's location, Geto and Gojo wonder what they do with the vessel Riko when she suddenly wakes up. Riko attacks them which Geto and Gojo are forced to restrain her. Kuroi shows up and explains to Riko that Geto and Gojo are their allies. After getting all the misunderstandings out of the way, Gojo notices that Riko is a lot chipper with what is about to happen. Riko explains how she won't be killed after merging with Tengen, and that she will continue living through him. Suddenly Riko realizes that she is late to school, which they all bring her to Renchoku Girls Junor High. While Riko is attending class, Gojo calls Masamichi about bringing Riko to the college but Masamichi tells them that they have to oblige Riko's requests. Gojo starts to complain about being soft on Riko, but Geto explains how Riko will be stuck under the college after merging with Tengen.

After talking, they decide to check on the surveillance, which Geto notices that two of his spirits have been exorcised. Elsewhere in the school, two Cursed Users have entered the school in order to collect the thirty million on Riko's head. As another location, Fushiguro is talking on the phone with the Mediator from the Star Vessel Association about how they are using the bounty on Riko to weaken Gojo since Gojo is a powerful shaman.

Back at the school, Gojo and Kuroi head off to get Riko while Geto goes to deal with the intruders. Geto suddenly comes across an old man using shikigami's which the old man easily manages to figure out what Geto is capable of. As the old man thinks about how to combat Geto, when Geto launches a spirit at the old man. The old man quickly exits the hallway they are in and enter from behind Geto but suddenly sees his pet when he was a child. The old man realizes that he has been defeated by Geto, which Geto explains how he had played the old man from the start. As the old man is laying on the ground, Geto asks the old man who he is working for.

Elsewhere, Gojo manages to pick up Riko and starts to bring her to the Jujutsu College. While on their way out of Riko's school, they are spotted by one of the intruders. As the intruder prepares to chase them, he is confronted by Kuroi. Kuroi manages to easily defeat the intruder. Geto shows up and asks were Riko is at, which Kuroi tells him that Gojo is taking her to the College. After hearing this, the intruder vanishes which confuses Kuroi. Geto quickly contacts Gojo and informs him about everything that he had learned from the old man.

At Gojo's location, he is confronted by the intruder that escaped from Kuroi and Geto. As the intruder creates more of himself to fight Gojo with, Gojo easily figures out that the intruder is cloning himself after he uses his ability to defeat two of the clones. The intruder asks Gojo how he manages to figure out his technique, which Gojo explains how his technique works. Gojo then manages to easily defeat the intruder, but Riko suddenly gets a message that Kuroi has been kidnapped. Geto meets up with them and informs them that Kuroi was kidnapped when he went ahead to meet up with the two. As they discuss on what to do, they all agree to go rescue Kuroi.

Days later they manage to rescue Kuroi, who was taken to Okinawa. After rescuing Kuroi, Geto, Gojo, Riko, and Kuroi enjoy their time in Okinawa while Nanami and Haibara watch them from the airport. The group even decides to stay an extra day, even through Geto is worried about Gojo constantly using his abilities non-stop.

The Invisible Enemy
On the day that Riko is to merge with Tengen, Geto and Gojo bring Riko and Kuroi to the Jujutsu College. As Riko and Kuroi thanks Gojo and Geto for their hard work, when Gojo is suddenly pierced by sword wielded by Fushiguro. Fushiguro thinks about how Gojo was able to see him when he went to go see Gojo as a child and he decide that that was the last time that someone would be aware of his presence. Geto launches one of his spirits at Fushiguro, which the spirit manages to devour Fushiguro. As Geto checks on Gojo, Gojo tells him that he is fine and tells Geto to take Riko to where master Tengen is at.

As Geto brings Riko to where Tengen is at, Fushiguro manages to cut his way out of the spirit. Gojo notices that Fushiguro is wielding a different sword and now has a spirit wrapped around him. As Fushiguro wonders where Riko has gone to, Gojo tells Fushiguro that the bounty on Riko's head has been lifted. Fushiguro tells Gojo that he had placed the bounty on Riko's head in order to weaken Gojo. Gojo attacks Fushiguro, but Fushiguro easily dodges it and takes this chance to switch his weapons. Gojo thinks about how he can't figure out Fushiguro's moves, but figures out that Fushiguro has zero cursed energy and that its all innate physical prowess. As Fushiguro goes to attack Gojo, but Gojo easily forces Fushiguro away. Gojo tries to figure out what Fushiguro is planning to do, but notices that he has lost trace of Fushiguro. Gojo thinks of a way to find Fushiguro and decides to clear the area by using his technique. Suddenly a swarm of cursed spirit surround Gojo. As Gojo thinks about what to do next, Fushiguro appears behind Gojo and stabbed him with his cursed tool. As Gojo goes for the weapon, Fushguro slashes Gojo and stabs him multiple times. Fushiguro then heads into the college, after he manages to defeat Gojo.

Inside of the Jujutsu College, Geto, Riko, and Kuroi reach the Tombs of the Star Corridor. Kuroi and Riko bid each other good bye, as Geto and Riko head deeper into the chamber. As the two exit a hallway, Geto explains to Riko where she can reach Tengen. Geto also explains to Riko that she doesn't have to go if she doesn't want to since he and Gojo agreed that they won't force to her to go. As Riko explains how she has always felt different from everyone else, and that she has changed her mind about merging with Tengen after she had spent time with Geto, Gojo, and Kuroi. As Geto plans to take Riko out of the college, but Fushiguro suddenly shows up and kills Riko. Geto wonders why Fushiguro is here, which Fushiguro says that he had killed Gojo. Fushiguro also explains how he was able to enter the Tomb of the Star Corridor since he has flooded the college with spirits and that he already knew were the entrance to the tomb was.

Geto attack Fushiguro with a spirit, but Fushiguro manages to dodge it. Fushiguro fires some shots at Geto but Geto blocks the bullets with a spirit. Fushiguro suddenly explains how he carries all his cursed tools within a spirit that can shrink itself by swallowing itself. Fushiguro also explains that he can hide the spirit by swallowing it. Geto tells says that he wants to know how Fushiguro was able to follow them. Fushiguro replies that he has sharper senses and that he followed the traces that they left behind. Geto then asks about Kuroi, which Fushiguro says that she is probably dead since he doesn't care if she survived. Geto attacks with his Rainbow Dragon spirit, but Fushiguro uses his cursed weapon to cut through the spirit. As Fushiguro prepares to fight Geto, he is confronted by another of Geto's cursed spirits. Fushiguro easily handles Geto's spirit and notices that Geto is about to absorb his spirit. Fushiguro thinks about how Geto's technique works and is able to repel Geto. Fushiguro then easily defeat Geto and all of his spirits. As Geto is laying on the ground, Fushiguro says that Geto is going to live and taunts him about all the shamans were defeated by someone like him.

Fushiguro then brings Riko's corpse to the Star Vessel Association's headquarters, which a representative of the association, Shigeru Sonoda, confirms that the corpse is real. Shigeru tells Fushiguro and the Mediator that they will give they extra for completing the task, which the Mediator is surprised that the association would complain more. Shigeru explains to them how their organization was started to give a voice to non-shaman in the shaman world, and that their organization would lose face if they did not stop the merging. Shigeru then takes Riko's corpse away, while Fushiguro and the mediator talk about how they were able to accomplice their task.

As Fushiguro is leaving the association's headquarters, he encounters Gojo and figures out that Gojo is using a reversing technique to heal himself. Gojo then explains how the reversing technique works and that he was able to figure it out when he was on the brink of death. Fushiguro then pulls out a weapon and starts to attack Gojo but Gojo easily dodges all of Fushiguro's attacks. Gojo uses his technique to blast Fushiguro into a build. Fushiguro gets up and thinks about what Gojo's technique is capable of. Fushiguro continues to attack Gojo, but Gojo easily dodges all of Fushiguro's attacks. Gojo thinks about how some information about technique may have been leaked, but only some know about his technique's ultimate capability. Gojo uses his purple technique on Fushiguro, which Fushiguro thinks about was a mistaken and that he only took the job to defeat Gojo. As Fushiguro is mortally wounded, Gojo asks his if he has any last words. Fushiguro says that his son will be sold to the Maki clan in a couple of years, so do whatever he wants.

Later Geto manages to get himself healed by Shoko and heads to where the Star Vessel Association headquarter is at. Once he arrives at the headquarters, Geto sees what had happened and manages to find were Gojo is at. Geto sees that Gojo has Riko's corpse, but wonders what had happened to Gojo. Geto then says that they will be leave, but Gojo asks if they should kill everyone here first. Geto tells Gojo that everyone here is not a shaman and that the one that is responsible has already ran away. Geto also says that their organization will also disband soon anyway.

A Year Passes
A year later in August of 2007, Geto and Shoko are helping Gojo with his training. The two find out that Gojo can now use his technique to automatically targets incoming objects. Gojo explains to the two how he is capable of using his technique automatically. Shoko worries that Gojo will harm himself by constantly using his technique, which Gojo explains how he is using a reversing technique to heal himself at the same time. Geto thinks about how Gojo has become the strongest and that he is heading on more dangerous missions alone. Gojo becomes worried at Geto and comments about how Geto looks like he is losing weight, but Geto replies that its just the summer weather.

As time comes on, Geto continues his work as a shaman but begins to question why he is doing this and for who. One day Geto and Haibara encounter each other, and the two start to talk. Geto asks Haibara if he can continue being a Shaman, which Haibara replies that he enjoy the things that he can do. Suddenly Yuji encounters the two and asks Geto what kind of girl is his type. While Geto wonders who Yuki is, Haibara easily answers the question. Geto asks why Haibara answers her, which Haibara replies that he doesn't think that Yuki isn't a bad person. Haibara then leave, while Geto and Yuki have a conversation. Geto asks Yuki who she is, which Yuki introduces herself and that she is the Shaman that doesn't go on missions. Yuki also tells Geto that she doesn't agree with the college methods and that she wants to create a world were spirits aren't born. Yuki then starts talking about Toji Fushiguro and what he is capable of but he had turned her down about research him. Yuki also says that Shaman doesn't usually create spirits and that if the world is only made of Shaman, then their would be spirits created. Geto comments about how they should kill all the non-shamans, which Yuki says that that is one way to do it. Yuki asks Geto if he hates non-shaman, which Geto says that he doesn't know and explains that he can't tell what he believes in an more. After finishing their conversation, Yuki get ready to leave but tells Geto that he doesn't need to worried about the Star Plasma Vessel since they most likely have another vessel for Tengen.

Later Geto is in the morgue with Nanami. Nanami comments about how it was supposed to be a simple mission but it was a high class spirit and Haibara had died. Geto tells Nanami that he can rest since Gojo would take over, which Nanami replies that can't they let Gojo take over all the work. Geto then thinks about how this marathon called shamanism, and how that their is nothing but a pile of corpses of Shamans at the end of it.

Geto Turns Traitor
In September of 2009, Geto is assigned a mission to investigate the strange deaths that are happening in a village. Once Geto arrives at the village, he finds out that the villagers are blaming two little girls for the deaths even though Geto already knows what is actually causing it. The girls try to speak up, but a villager tells them to shut up and that they should have killed them like they killed the girls parents. Geto remembers what Yuki and he had talked about and thus has the villagers come outside with him. Once outside, Geto begins to kill all the villagers in the village. Days later, the college finds out what Geto had done and announces that he is to be killed on sight. Masamichi also tells Gojo about this incident and that Geto may have killed his own parents as well, which Gojo just wonder how this could have happened.

Sometime later, Shoko encounters Geto and the two have a chat. Geto reveals that he did commit the act and that he plans to create a world that only shamans exist. After chatting, Shoko contacts Gojo that she has met Geto in Shijuku. Later Geto meets with Gojo, which Gojo wants Geto to explain himself. Geto tells Gojo that he is not him that he will have to find another solution to fix the problem with the world. Gojo prepares to attack Geto, but Geto walks away since Gojo won't attack him because their is no meaning is doing so. Afterwards Masamichi talks with Gojo and about how Gojo has become strong but only save through who are prepared to be saved by others.

Later Geto meets with the Mediator to the Star Vessel Association and the two talk about how the organization hasn't disbanded but just renamed itself. Geto has brought the two girls with him, and is having a meeting with the higher up of the organization. As Geto tells everyone that he is taking over the organization, the higher up don't like. Geto then kills Sonoda, and forces everyone to obey him.

Sometime later, Gojo meets with Megumi which doesn't start off well.
