Gojo might have known the secret of Sukuna's twin before Jujutsu Kaisen even began

In the latest twist from Jujutsu Kaisen, chapter 257 drops a huge revelation. The twist revealed that the relationship between Yuji Itadori and the dreaded Sukuna is not just a minor detail but a massive part of the story, much like the tales from Greek mythology where family ties often lead to big surprises and epic stories. Fans are now buzzing with questions.

The biggest question is whether Satoru Gojo, who is known as the most powerful sorcerer, already knew about this twist. If Gojo knew about the relationship between Yuji and Sukuna, it would change how we see his actions throughout the series.

This theory suggests that Gojo may have had deeper reasons for his decisions, especially those concerning Yuji. This reveal has fans excited and rethinking what they thought they knew about the characters and where the story might be heading.

Gojo is known for his striking blue eyes which seem to understand both people and curses very well. He's a mix of great power and sharp thinking in the world of Jujutsu sorcerers. Thanks to his constant curiosity and strong abilities, it's not hard to believe he would have looked into Yuuji Itadori's past.

We've seen Gojo look into the family history of Yuta Okkotsu before in Jujutsu Kaisen 0, showing he always wants to learn more about his students' abilities. So, it makes one wonder if Gojo already knows about the special talent Yuji had and his link to Sukuna right from the beginning.

While it might be a leap to suggest Gojo knew Yuji was Sukuna’s twin, the notion that he had already discovered a bloodline or family connection is compelling. With the revelation that Yuji is related to Sukuna through the Itadori family line, it stands to reason that Gojo, with his resources and acumen, might have uncovered a distant blood relation linking Yuji to the Curse. Perhaps Gojo didn't know the specifics, but he likely sensed that their fates were intertwined in some significant way.

This theory suggests that there's a cycle where twins are reborn within the same family. Since Sukuna didn't have kids of his own, the connection would have to be through distant relatives. There might have been brothers, sisters, or other family members we don't know about. And Gojo, being the detective that he is, might have followed the trail back to find a link between Yuji and Sukuna.

If Gojo had even a hint that Yuji was special because of his connection to Sukuna, it could explain his actions a lot. Gojo had always been protective of Yuji and had big plans for him. Knowing about Yuji's background might have made Gojo see him as an important part of their fight against curses.

This theory adds a new layer to the story. If Gojo knew about Yuji's secret, it would make us see his actions in a new light. Every decision he makes and everything he does could have a deeper reason behind it. It also makes Yuji even more crucial to the story.

While all this is just guessing, it's exciting and intriguing to ponder upon for the fans. It makes Gojo's character even more interesting and adds to Yuji's importance in the story. Whether or not the story will confirm any of this is something fans are excited to find out about Sukuna's twin. For now, these theories make the discussions around Jujutsu Kaisen even more engaging.
