This film is set to be released as a movie in December of this year, and one of the characters that will be attracting the most attention is the antagonist, Geto Suguru. Geto appears as an antagonist in the main story and plays an important role in many scenes, but as a character who plays a particularly important role in this film, many fans will want to learn more about him before seeing the movie. In fact, Geto's appearance is slightly different when he appears in "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" than when he appears in the main story, and he is a character that can be confusing, so it can be said that he is a character that even those who are not watching this film for the first time should learn more about. So, in this article, we would like to give a brief summary of Geto Suguru, the greatest enemy that appears in "Jujutsu Kaisen 0." Whether this is your first time seeing this film with "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" or not, be sure to check it out.
Special Grade Sorcerer
First, let's talk about Geto's abilities. Even among the many sorcerers in existence, Geto is designated a special grade sorcerer. This title is reserved for only those with exceptional abilities in the series, so this shows that Geto possesses exceptional abilities, even within the series.
Exhausted Combat Prowess
As a special-grade sorcerer, he cornered the protagonist Okkotsu with incredible speed in "Jujutsu Kaisen 0." Not only Okkotsu, but most of Okkotsu's allies, including Zen'in, Panda, and Inumaki, were defeated by Geto's power.
He was once a student at Jujutsu Technical College
Though Getou displays overwhelming power as an antagonist, it appears that he was originally a student at Jujutsu Technical College, just like Okkotsu and the others. While Jujutsu Kaisen 0 doesn't go into detail, he enrolled at Jujutsu Technical College at the same time as Gojo and apparently worked together for a while.
Hatred for those below sorcerers
As mentioned above, Geto originally attended Jujutsu College and used his Jujutsu skills to help people live their lives. However, after leaving the college, he now seems to have a strong distaste for those who are not sorcerers, calling ordinary people who cannot use Jujutsu "monkeys." Let's take a closer look at why someone who once attended Jujutsu College, just like Gojo, has changed his mind so much.
Night Parade of One Hundred Demons!
In "Jujutsu Kaisen 0," Geto carried out a terrorist attack by sorcerers known as the "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons." The most notable event in "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" is when the members of Jujutsu Technical College, led by Gojo, confront this "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons." Here, we'll introduce how Geto and his gang play a role in this "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons."
Geto's gang is in action!
First of all, the activities of the Geto faction are particularly noteworthy in the "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons." While the activities of Geto himself are of course important in the "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons," the members of the Geto faction who work alongside him are also noteworthy. The Geto faction also plays an important role in the main story, so be sure to pay particular attention to them in "Jujutsu Kaisen 0."
Okkotsu's allies are cornered!
Not only Geto himself, but his allies are also cornered by his faction. Even Gojo's faction is joined in the battle by a sorcerer with such fighting power that he can hold him back for a long time. This clearly shows how meticulously prepared Geto was for this plan.
Stopped by Okkotsu
However, despite all the careful preparation, the "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons" was thwarted by Okkotsu, who sacrificed his own cursed spirit, Rika, and unleashed her full power. After his awakening, Okkotsu's powers were so far superior that he was portrayed as the villain himself.
Relationship with Okkotsu
Now, I'd like to introduce the relationship between Geto himself and the protagonist, Okkotsu. The negotiations between the protagonist, Okkotsu, and Geto in "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" are a particularly important element of the series, so let's pay particular attention to the relationship between these two characters.
Trying to Obtain Rika
The reason Geto approached Okkotsu in the first place was because he was trying to obtain Rika, who possessed Okkotsu's cursed spirit and possessed powerful cursed energy. It seems that Rika's cursed energy was absolutely necessary for his "construction of a political order by sorcerers, beings of a higher rank than ordinary humans."
He Attempts to Appease Her at First
As mentioned above, Geto wanted to get his hands on Rika at all costs, but initially he tried to appease Okkotsu and get him on his side. While there are likely various motives behind this, perhaps his true intention at the time was to see if he could avoid a conflict with Okkotsu, who wields Rika, a character with immense cursed energy. Geto is quite the strategist, so it's likely he was thinking about something like that.
Okkotsu Refuses Appeasement
However, Okkotsu, who had previously been misunderstood by those around him, finally connected with his classmates at Jujutsu Technical College and began to care for them. Naturally, he refused Geto's invitation, saying he could not betray his comrades. This made the conflict between Geto and Okkotsu inevitable.
Battle with Okkotsu!
And then, the most important fight scene in "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" begins: the battle between Geto and Okkotsu. This battle scene between these two characters is the most meticulously depicted in the series, so be sure to check it out in the movie. It will be particularly interesting to see what dynamic expressions are used to depict "Rika," whose gigantic body appears from behind Okkotsu.
A Huge Miscalculation
Geto was cornering Okkotsu with his overwhelming superiority in experience, but when he was cornered, Okkotsu offered himself to Rika and unleashed her cursed energy. Geto failed to predict Okkotsu's willingness to sacrifice himself to defeat Geto, and he ended up losing in this unexpected turn of events. Okkotsu's resigned gaze at this point is truly that of a madman. One cannot help but feel sympathy for Geto, who, despite being his enemy, had to fight such a far superior opponent.
Relationship with Gojo
Now that we've looked back at his relationship with Okkotsu, I'd like to introduce his even deeper relationship with Gojo. Geto and Gojo are such important friends in Jujutsu Kaisen 0 that they cannot be discussed separately. From here, I'd like to take a closer look at these two characters, who occupy particularly important positions in the story.
Classmates at Jujutsu Technical College
Getou and Gojo were apparently close students at Jujutsu Technical College. Getou was expelled from the school midway through, but up until then, the two often worked together and were truly inseparable. This episode between the two is carefully depicted in the main story, so fans who are particularly interested in it should definitely check out the main story!
Gojo's Final Destiny
That was the relationship between the two. In "Jujutsu Kaisen 0," they end up fighting as enemies. While a direct confrontation isn't depicted, Gojo does end up killing Geto himself in the end.
Also appears in the main story!
So far, we've introduced Geto's profile and key elements from "Jujutsu Kaisen 0." From here on, we'll introduce some key points to note about Geto's appearance in the main series, "Jujutsu Kaisen," after watching "Jujutsu Kaisen 0." Geto is an important character who appears as an antagonist in the main story, so be sure to understand him well.
Forehead Scar
First of all, the first thing that catches your eye is the large scar on his forehead. This scar wasn't present in "Jujutsu Kaisen 0," so it must have appeared between the timeline of "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" and the main story. Let's read this while thinking about what happened to Getou in these two works.
Watch "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" before watching the main story
Why is Getou alive in the main story, even though he was definitely killed by Gojo in "Jujutsu Kaisen 0"? And what is the scar on his forehead? If Getou didn't die there, why? If he did, who is acting as Getou in the main story? Just reading the main story after "Jujutsu Kaisen 0" will change your perspective on Getou.
His past with Gojo is also depicted
And best of all, the main story explores Geto and Gojo's past in even more detail than "Jujutsu Kaisen 0." It covers the story with Gojo at length, so if you're interested in Geto after watching "Jujutsu Kaisen 0," be sure to check out the main story.
Summary

He plays an important role in the main story, so be sure to keep an eye on him in "Jujutsu Kaisen 0."
