Top 15+ Most Emotional Jujutsu Kaisen Deaths (Manga Series)
17) Game
It's unusual for antagonist deaths to be emotional in most anime, but this is one of the exceptions to that. It was an unrecorded cursed spirit of special quality, born from fear of volcanic eruptions. The curse had a strong hatred for humanity and wanted the curses to dominate the world.
Jogo may have been a villain but he had always been loyal to his companions and his species in general. He died after fighting at Shibuya. In his final moments, he was overwhelmed by the fact that Sukuna recognized him as strong and thought of his companions in his last breath.
16) Misato Kuroi
In Gojo's Past Arc, we can see him in his school days. During their second year, he and he were assigned to accompany Riko Amanai to Tokyo Jujutsu High. During their mission, they also met Misato Kuroi, the girl's servant and guardian.
The whole arc was very sad and it became even sadder when Kuroi died as well. She died off-screen at the hands of but the idea is just as sad. Kuroi was the only thing that resembled a mother to Riko and they considered each other family.
15) Cursed Womb: Death Painting Brothers - Eso and Kechizu
Two of the Cursed Womb: Death Painting brothers, Eso and Kechizu, were the antagonists of the Death Painting Arc. Upon reaching the Yasohachi Bridge, they fought and lost their lives.
Their deaths seemed pitiful, paralleling the struggles that one comes to sympathize with over the love between siblings. As Kechizu falls, Eso sadly and regretfully tries to escape in a truck but he too is eliminated by Nobara. Their deaths are then felt by Choso.
14) Nagi Yoshino
A cheerful and vivacious woman, Nagi Yoshino was a loving parent and only family member of Junpei Yoshino. In the series, she appeared after Junpei befriended Yuji and she invited him to dinner. After what seemed like a satisfying, calm and happy gathering and bonding, Yuji left and a cursed spirit attacked Nagi.
This unexpected scene was saddening. The cursed spirit was attracted by Sukuna's finger, which was planted in Nagi's house. Ruining Junpei's happy family was part of Mahito's cunning plan, and Nagi was innocently dragged into it.
13) Nanako and Mimiko talk
The two sisters, Nanako Hasaba and Mimiko Hasaba, were antagonistic characters. But their deaths were hurtful considering their innocent and naive intentions.
They were chased from their village because they possessed cursed energy. Ever since Suguru Geto took them in and became a beloved father figure to them, they wanted to defeat Pseudo-Geto and retrieve his corpse.
During the Shibuya Incident Arc, their plan was to help Sukuna by bringing his fingers to him and asking for help in return. But to their misfortune, after recovering his fingers, Sukuna made them his first victim.
12) Yu Haibara
Another painful death that happened in Gojo's past arc is that of Yu Haibara. He was a student at Tokyo Jujutsu High and a classmate and friend of . This also made him a student of Gojo, Geto and Ieiri.
Haibara was an energetic and cheerful young man with a strong sense of justice. He also had a friendly and kind personality, similar to Yuji's. He died during his second year while he and Nanami were on a mission.
Nanami and Geto took Haibara's death very hard and it motivated Nanami to leave the world of jujutsu after graduation and increased Geto's hatred towards non-cursed users, causing his mass murder later.
11) Tsumiki Fushiguro
has always been a very serious guy for his age, but the only person he seemed to love and care for wholeheartedly was his older half-sister Tsumiki Fushiguro. At some point in the past, Toji married Tsumiki's mother but eventually abandoned them. Tsumiki's mother also ran away at one point, leaving both children behind.
Tsumiki's tragic end came during the initiation and incarnation of the ancient sorcerer Yorozu into his body. Yorozu and Sukuna fought and the latter inevitably defeated and killed her, also killing Tsumiki in the process.
His death was a shock to Megumi and the grief made him so hollow that it gave Sukuna the chance to completely regain control of his body without resistance. Megumi's reaction makes this one of the most emotional deaths in Jujutsu Kaisen.
10) Yuki Tsukumo
was one of the four special grade jujutsu wizards and one of the strongest characters in Jujutsu Kaisen. She never accepted many missions because she disagreed with the higher-ups in the jujutsu world and had a different motivation. Yuki wanted to eradicate all curses from the world so that jujutsu sorcerers would no longer have to die in vain.
His end came after his fight against Kenjaku at Tokyo Jujutsu High. Both Yuki and Choso fought Kenjaku but ultimately lost. While Choso survived, Yuki was grotesquely injured and died.
9) Toji Fushiguro
Toji Fushiguro was once a member of the Zenin clan and also a father. He was the main antagonist of Gojo's Past Arc. His initial appearance had suggested that he was a money-minded person. For the money, he murdered Riko.
After a violent confrontation with Gojo, he reveals that his son would soon be sold to the Zenin clan before dying. He told Gojo that he could do whatever he wanted with this information. This revealed to us a broader picture of his personality.
Somehow, Toji was a caring father who didn't want Megumi to be sold to the cruel Zenin clan. In his final moments, sensing the mere possibility that his adversary could save his son, he took his chance. It was a moving and moving scene to see a father fail to find his son.
8) Masamichi Yaga
Masamichi Yaga was the principal of Tokyo Jujutsu High. The superiors ordered Gakuganji to push Yaga into revealing the method of creating independent cursed corpses. Yaga refused to say a word about it; taking his last breath, he let out all the information in order to curse Gakuganji.
Masamichi Yaga was a character that fans still have a soft spot for. He was a good teacher who always thought of his students and also a good person. His cursed technique had allowed him to create a family of stuffed animals as well as his son Panda. And no one can deny how precious and innocent their existence is.
7) Get Suguru
Suguru Geto was once the comrade and best friend of Gojo Satoru, who studied at Jujutsu Tech with him. His role took a villainous turn when he lost the sense that non-shamans needed to be eliminated for the good of the world.
Geto takes his last breath in the manga Jujutsu Kaisen 0: Jujutsu High. Defeated by , Geto's life is ended by Gojo. The short but final conversation between the two friends was deeply sentimental. Despite having distinct beliefs, both men were on a high note. Seeing them share the same affection towards the bond that united them was nostalgic.
6) Rico Amanaï
Riko Amanai was a young girl who was a stellar plasma vessel destined to merge with Master Tengen. In Gojo's Past Arc, Gojo and Geto were given the task of escorting him to safety.
Before long, readers grew attached to Riko's frank and innocent personality. She had even made friends with her two temporary bodyguards, who also did everything possible to protect her.
But despite this, they fail to stop him, who assassinates him thanks to a bounty from the Time Vessel Association. Seeing our main characters' efforts turn to dust and seeing such a brilliant character lose his life was discouraging and discouraging.
5) May Zenine
Mai Zenin was a student at Kyoto Jujutsu High and she was the twin sister of. Of the two twins, she was the only one to possess cursed energy.
The two sisters were beaten, injured by their father, and thrown into a room where they risked being crushed by many cursed spirits locked there. In order to save Maki, Mai committed suicide, releasing all the cursed energy between them.
Mai's death was another unforeseen sign of death as a character who was still young and alive; many looked forward to its growth and success.
4) Kokichi Muta
Kokichi Muta was a student at Kyoto Jujutsu High and was known as Ultimate Mechamaru. His original body had a celestial restriction, so it was damaged. He was able to live in the outside world thanks to Mechamaru's machine body.
He had made a deal with Mahito to act as a spy for him in exchange that Mahito would heal him using his inactive Transfiguration technique and stop him from hurting his friends.
Later, he overtook Mahito. But in a rash fight with him, Kokichi lost his life. He had formed an attachment with his classmates, especially Kasumi Miwa, and wanted to return to them in his original human form. But his wish remained unfulfilled.
3) Yoshino Junpei
Yoshino Junpei was a young high school student. A victim of bullying and loneliness, he was filled with feelings of discouragement and disgust towards society. This only led to him becoming an easy target for Mahito's manipulation and false empathy.
His death was one of the most heartbreaking. The boy wanted to be saved and just needed a place to belong. Yuji, his first and only friend, made him realize his true identity and brought him back. However, it was too late and Mahito used his idle Transfiguration technique and playfully warped him to death.
2) Kento Nanami
This death in this list of Jujutsu Kaisen deaths was excruciating for the fans. Nanami Kento had, since her first appearance, accumulated a considerable fan base. Her tsundere ranging from serious to fun personality and her cool fighting styles are always appreciated.
But unfortunately, during the Shibuya Incident arc, we lost him. In a state of defeat, Nanami's inner thoughts were revealed. He had regretted and felt guilty for failing to save his first year friend Haibara during his student life.
Throughout his latest fights and struggles, he continued to grow stronger keeping in mind Haibara's determination as a wizard.
It was pitiful to see him being transfigured by Mahito. He smiled his last words to Yuji to tell him that his time was over and that now Yuji could take him where he was leaving from.
1) Satoru Gojo
The most emotional and shocking death in Jujutsu Kaisen is none other than the death of Satoru Gojo, the most powerful jujutsu wizard of modern times. He was a special level wizard and the teacher of the first years at Tokyo Jujutsu High.
After being released from the Prison Realm, Gojo challenged Sukuna to a fight in Shinjuku on Christmas Eve. Their fight was the biggest fight of the series thus far. After a long and exciting fight, Gojo was finally killed, leaving Sukuna to be the winner and the strongest character in Jujutsu Kaisen.
It's redundant to reiterate how shocking Gojo's death was to the fandom. He was a fan favorite character and the characters fans wanted the most. Gojo has also always been the strongest character in the series, so seeing him die was very painful for fans. His scenes with Geto and his other fallen comrades are equally painful and moving and did not fail to bring fans to tears.
The deaths that have appeared in the Jujutsu Kaisen series seem to be just the beginning. We will surely witness more painful and emotional disappearances in the coming chapters.
