Following the apparent death of Satoru Gojo in the Killing Game arc of Jujutsu Kaisen, fans are speculating about the potential return of the series' strongest wizard. What's surprising is that the spotlight is now on Shoko Ieiri, a previously overlooked character whose unique healing abilities may hold the key to Gojo's resurrection.

Shoko's Reverse Curse Technique (RCT) grants the rare healing power of curses and magic, making her a key figure in this desperate situation.

As fans analyze Gege Akutami's clues and hints, they theorize that Shoko's abilities, along with support from her team, could lead to a daring rescue mission to bring Gojo works again. But how plausible is this scenario?

Shoko's healing ability

Shoko's healing abilities are impressive, but they do have limitations. Healing requires compatibility between the healer's Cursed Energy (CE) and that of the recipient, raising doubts about her ability to heal someone as formidable as Gojo. However, the concept of substitution training—a technique used by witches to share experience and energy—can enhance the synergy between Shoko and Gojo's Cursed Energy, increasing the chances her success.

Furthermore, if Shoko had previously integrated her CE with Gojo during her training, she may have possessed intimate knowledge of his energy pathways, reducing the risk of rejection in healing efforts.

Collaborations with other witches such as Arata Nitta and Utahime could also strengthen Shoko's efforts. Nitta's hemostasis ability and Utahime's cursed energy production enhancement skill could complement Shoko's healing abilities, creating an effective emergency team dedicated to Gojo's recovery.

However, theories surrounding Gojo's possible resurrection through Shoko's intervention have raised questions about narrative balance and credibility. Some have argued that Gojo's absence serves a storytelling purpose by allowing other characters to shine and add to the suspense.

However, Jujutsu Kaisen thrives on unexpected turns. Sukuna's ability to underestimate the witches, including Shoko's abilities, adds further complexity to the story. If Sukuna's miscalculations become a recurring theme, Shoko could emerge as a surprising solution.

Gojo's students, much in love with their mentor, refused to give up on him. The stakes attached to his return, coupled with the persistent threat that demands his presence, make a compelling case for Shoko's pivotal role. The absence of Gojo's body after his disappearance hints at important developments behind the scenes, possibly related to Shoko's intervention.

The debate over Shoko's ability to save Gojo revolves around complex plot points and character development. The narrative trajectory of Jujutsu Kaisen is unpredictable, but with teamwork and a deeper exploration of abilities, Shoko's potential as Gojo's savior cannot be dismissed.
