What Happens in Gojo’s Past Arc of Jujutsu Kaisen?
The arc takes us back to 12 years ago, when Gojo was a second-year high school student at Jujutsu Tech High School. He and Geto are the only special-grade sorcerers around and are considered the “strongest duo.” Despite their usual bickering, the two have absolute faith in each other’s abilities. Gojo comes from the distinguished Gojo Clan and is the inheritor of the Six Eyes. Master Tengen, an immortal jujutsu sorcerer who protects Jujutsu High locations by reinforcing their barriers, requests them to protect Riko Amanai, a Star Vessel.
Every five hundred years or so, a Star Vessel is born who can merge with Master Tengen and help them maintain their immortality. However, Riko has a bounty on her head as some organizations are against the merger that will make Tengen “impure.” Hence, it’s up to Gojo and Geto to ensure Riko gets to Tengen in one piece. However, things go awry when the Sorcerer Killer sets his eyes on the enormous bounty.
