The conclusion of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga has brought with it a wave of both closure and profound change for the series’ world and its characters. While the focus of the final battle was on the epic confrontation between Gojo Satoru, Sukuna, and the new generation of sorcerers, the aftermath has revealed a seismic shift in the power structure of the jujutsu society. One of the most significant lingering questions was the fate of the “Big Three” sorcerer families, particularly the Gojo Clan, after the death of its most powerful member, Gojo Satoru. In the final epilogue and supplemental materials provided by creator Gege Akutami, the fate of the Gojo clan is officially sealed, with a surprising and fitting new leader taking the reins, signaling the dawn of a new era of jujutsu sorcery.

This article will delve into the revelations from the manga’s conclusion, breaking down exactly what happened to the Gojo clan and how this outcome was a direct result of Gojo’s own vision for a reformed society. We will examine the role of the new leader, Okkotsu Yuta, and how his ascension not only provides a powerful conclusion to his character arc but also represents the final dismantling of the old, oppressive system that Gojo had long sought to destroy. The end of the manga isn’t just a victory over a physical threat; it’s a social and political revolution, and the Gojo clan’s new direction is its most potent symbol.

The Annihilation of the Old Order

For centuries, the jujutsu world has been governed by the “Big Three” sorcerer families: the Zenin, the Kamo, and the Gojo. These clans, built on tradition, inherited power, and a rigid hierarchy, were a constant source of conflict and stagnation. The series explicitly showcases the deep corruption within these clans and the Jujutsu High higher-ups, who were often an extension of their will. Gojo Satoru, the sole inheritor of the Limitless and the Six Eyes, became a one-man army, his immense power a constant check on the families’ influence. His dream, as he explicitly stated, was to raise a new generation of sorcerers strong enough to finally dismantle the old system. The final battle, and the events leading up to it, perfectly set the stage for this vision to be realized.

The destruction of the Zenin clan, largely at the hands of Zenin Maki, was the first domino to fall. Her brutal and decisive action against her own corrupt family effectively erased one of the pillars of the old system. Similarly, the Kamo clan’s influence and numbers were decimated in the events of the Culling Game. With the other two major families in shambles, the fate of the Gojo clan, the strongest of them all, was tied directly to its leader.

The Official Succession: Yuta Okkotsu

The final chapters confirm that following Gojo’s death at the hands of Sukuna, the Gojo clan did not simply dissolve. Instead, it underwent a complete structural change, and its new head was officially declared to be none other than Okkotsu Yuta. This is a monumental reveal for several reasons:

  • Fulfilling Gojo’s Vision: Yuta’s rise to power is a powerful and fitting conclusion to Gojo’s legacy. Gojo had long considered Yuta his successor, recognizing his immense cursed energy, his exceptional technique copying ability, and his kind heart. By passing the leadership of his own clan to a non-family member, Gojo’s dream of a meritocracy—a world where sorcerers are judged by their abilities and character, not by their bloodlines—is finally realized.
  • A Symbolic Bridge: Yuta’s new role represents a bridge between the old and new generations. As a special-grade sorcerer with a profound understanding of the jujutsu world, he can navigate the complexities of what remains of the system. However, as an outsider to the clan system, he can lead with a modern sensibility, free from the biases and traditions that plagued the previous leaders.
  • The End of the Old Guard: With the leadership of the Gojo clan now in the hands of an outsider, the authority of the “Big Three” as a collective governing body is officially and definitively over. The old system, which was the source of so much pain and suffering for characters like Megumi and Maki, has been completely dismantled. The future of jujutsu society is now in the hands of the young sorcerers Gojo and his allies raised and protected.

In the final epilogue, the surviving members of the cast, including Yuta, Maki, Yuji, Megumi, and others, are shown together, seemingly working to create a new, fairer system. The death of Gojo Satoru was a tragic loss, but it was also a catalyst. His sacrifice and his vision ultimately gave his students the opportunity to build the world he had always dreamed of. The Gojo Clan, once a symbol of archaic power, is now a testament to progress, led by the person Gojo himself believed could change the world for the better. The journey of Jujutsu Kaisen was not just a fight against curses, but a battle for the soul of a society, and the final fate of the Gojo clan is a clear sign that the good guys won.
