By You know those villains that make your stomach twist a little—not because they’re just pure evil, but because they kinda make sense? Yeah, that’s Geto Suguru in a nutshell. In Jujutsu Kaisen, he’s this super complicated character that doesn’t just walk the line between good and evil—he trips over it, rolls around, and then finds a whole new philosophy for life. Anyway, let’s talk about this cursed sorcerer, shall we?
Who is Geto Suguru?
So, here’s the thing about Geto Suguru: he’s not your average bad guy. If you’ve watched Jujutsu Kaisen 0, you’ve seen him go from being a goofy, top-tier jujutsu sorcerer to a guy who believes only sorcerers should exist. Talk about a major shift, right?
Back in the day, Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru were basically the Batman and Robin of their class. Best friends, kicking butt, saving people. You couldn’t find a better duo at Jujutsu High. But then, well… life happened. And things got complicated. His descent from “hero” to “villain” is a slow burn that, honestly, kinda breaks your heart.
Early Life and Training at Jujutsu High
The Dynamic Duo: Gojo and Geto
Okay, picture this: two top students, a lot of talent, and a school that teaches you how to fight curses. Sounds like a dream, right? That was Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru during their time at Jujutsu High. They were unstoppable, like peanut butter and jelly, or—I don’t know—cheese fries and ketchup. If you ever need an image of how strong these two were together, just think of Gojo’s charm and Geto Suguru’s brains. A duo for the ages.
But as we all know, nothing stays perfect forever.
The Turning Point: Riko Amanai and the Downfall
Ah, Riko Amanai. You remember her, right? The whole “Star Plasma Vessel” mission was meant to be a high-profile mission that would be a huge win for the good guys. Gojo, Geto Suguru, and Riko—what could go wrong?
Well, a lot, apparently. Things got twisted when Geto Suguru started questioning everything. He looked at the world and thought, “Why am I protecting these non-sorcerers who don’t even know curses exist?” And bam—his entire view of the world flipped. Not long after that, he was burning villages down like it was Tuesday. Real talk: things went sideways fast.
Geto Suguru’s Philosophy and Villainous Path
A Whole New Worldview
Look, we’ve all had that moment when you’re frustrated with everything—whether it’s work, friends, or just the state of the world—and you think, “What if I just burned it all down and started fresh?” Okay, Geto Suguru took that idea a little more literally than most, but his philosophy wasn’t just about anger. It was about what he saw as a broken system, and a belief that only jujutsu sorcerers could truly understand the world.
Once upon a time, he was protecting the weak. Now? Now he’s ready to eradicate every non-sorcerer in the world. His ultimate goal was a utopia where only sorcerers existed. Sounds a little… twisted, right? But, there’s a certain logic to it.
Anyway, here’s the kicker: instead of helping people, he began seeing them as obstacles. Why save humans who could never comprehend curses? So, yeah, that led to a lot of destruction on his part.
Cursed Spirit Control: Not Your Average Sorcerer Skill
One of the things that made Geto Suguru stand out was his ability to control cursed spirits. This wasn’t just a party trick—this guy could manipulate cursed spirits like a puppet master. While Gojo was out there doing his flashy thing with the Six Eyes and Limitless, Geto Suguru was quietly building an army of cursed creatures.
You know, the first time I watched him control all those cursed spirits in Jujutsu Kaisen 0, I was like, “Okay, yeah, that’s overkill.” But then I remembered my high school talent show and realized maybe I’d do the same if I had that power… (but probably only for karaoke).
The Night Parade of a Hundred Demons
Here’s Where Things Get Wild
Fast forward to the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons—this is when Geto Suguru really kicks things up a notch. He’s not just sitting in a room plotting, no. He’s out there, commanding an army of cursed spirits like some kind of evil emperor. Over 4,000 cursed spirits? Yeah, that’s how much of a threat Geto Suguru really is.
But here’s the twist: It wasn’t all about raw power. Geto Suguru was strategic. He wasn’t just throwing curses around; he was a tactician, playing 3D chess while the rest of us were still stuck on checkers.
Bullet Points: The Essentials of Geto Suguru
Let’s break it down, because I can hear you thinking, “Okay, but what do I really need to know about Geto Suguru?”
- Name: Geto Suguru (obviously)
- Status: Dead. (Well, his body’s not dead, but his mind is long gone, thanks to Kenjaku.)
- Specialty: Cursed Spirit Manipulation
- Goal: Make a world where only jujutsu sorcerers exist
- Notable Mentions: Former bestie of Gojo Satoru, master manipulator
Now, just to drive the point home, here’s another list:

- Notable Event: The Night Parade of a Hundred Demons
- Messed Up Part: Was manipulated by Kenjaku post-mortem. Talk about a plot twist.
Geto Suguru’s Role in Jujutsu Kaisen’s Themes
Villain, Hero, or Both?
If you’re like me, you probably watched Geto Suguru and thought, “Wait a minute, am I supposed to like this guy or not?” His philosophy might be completely off the rails, but you can’t help but understand where he’s coming from. He wasn’t just an angry dude looking to wreak havoc—he genuinely believed in a twisted form of justice.
And here’s where it gets complicated. Geto Suguru was once a friend to Gojo, and seeing their relationship fall apart is one of the saddest parts of Jujutsu Kaisen. Gojo had to face off against his best friend’s body—again, but this time with someone else in control. That, my friend, is heart-wrenching.
The Price of Power: What Makes a Villain?
It’s not just the power, though. It’s the internal struggle. Geto Suguru wasn’t just a power-hungry maniac. He was a guy who wanted to fix things—just in a really messed-up way. And that’s what makes him such a memorable villain. His downfall is a reminder that power can easily corrupt, especially when you lose sight of what you’re fighting for.
Fan Reactions and Cultural Impact
Geto Suguru is one of those characters who sticks with you, like the smell of popcorn at a movie theater you can’t shake for hours. Fans love him. They hate him. They feel bad for him. And they can’t stop talking about him.
I mean, you can’t hop onto Reddit or Twitter without seeing some debate about Geto JJK. People love to discuss whether he was really the villain or just someone who’d been pushed too far. Personally, I think Jujutsu Kaisen hit the jackpot with this character. He’s flawed, layered, and utterly fascinating.
Geto Suguru’s Legacy
What’s crazy is that Geto Suguru’s legacy isn’t just in the destruction he caused—it’s in how he changed the course of the story. Every major event, from Yuta’s rise to Gojo’s inner turmoil, has a little bit of Geto Suguru in it.
Yeah, he’s gone. But his influence? Oh, it lingers. Just ask Gojo.
Final Thoughts on Geto Suguru – The Cursed Sorcerer of Jujutsu Kaisen
Here’s the thing: Geto Suguru isn’t just a villain in the traditional sense. He’s a tragic character who believed he was doing the right thing. And maybe, in his mind, he was. If only the world had seen things his way… but alas, that’s not how the story goes.
In the end, Jujutsu Kaisen doesn’t just give us cool fight scenes—it makes us question what’s right and wrong. Geto Suguru is one of the characters who truly embodies that struggle. He’s a villain. He’s a hero. He’s… well, both. That’s what makes him unforgettable.
