The article “Jujutsu Kaisen Reveals What Gojo Has Been Up To While Locked Up” includes spoilers for the Jujutsu Kaisen manga. Reader discretion is advised.
Satoru Gojo is a crucial character of the manga and anime series Jujutsu Kaisen. She is the first person, in more than four centuries, to inherit the six eyes and the Unlimited Curse Technique simultaneously. Satoru believes himself to be the strongest wizard of his time, and most of the bureaucrats associated with the wizarding world stay away from him and try their best not to anger the white-haired knight.
After facing several cursed humans, he comes across a small box: the Confining Prison, capable of sealing someone as capable as himself. When he comes across his beloved best friend, apparently murdered, Gojo is bewildered and expects too much, brooding over nostalgia, causing him to be trapped by the cursed barrier.
Thus, Satoru Gojo was sealed in the Confining Prison in Chapter 91 of the original work, published on January 20, 2020. That’s right, it’s been more than three years since the beloved character was sealed and stopped appearing in the manga, and there is even a Twitter account called “@howlonginthebox”, which daily counts the days that have passed.
Finally, the Twitter user “@soukatsu_” shared a translation of the interview conducted with Gege Akutami on “Confining Prison“, where a wide variety of details of interest were revealed. This interview was included in the magazine JUMP GIGA EARLY SPRING 2023published on February 27 in Japan, and the text was as follows:
- You mentioned earlier that time doesn’t flow in the Confining Prison, but doesn’t the prisoner still go hungry? How do they use the bathroom?
- Since physical time does not flow, you cannot eat or defecate. I didn’t get a chance to cover this topic in the manga, but jujutsu sorcerers have special “something” inserted into their stomachs for long duration missions where eating is difficult and bathroom breaks are rare.
- So what is Gojo doing inside the Confining Prison?
- If he thought too much, he’d probably go crazy, so I think he’s doing his best to keep his head empty and not have thoughts.
- Gojo mentioned that he would like to add the Confining Prison to his “collection”, but what do you think that the Confining Prison Is it a collectible item?
- It’s a one-of-a-kind item (the back door is such a fun extra), and the fact that literally anyone can be locked in it as long as they meet the requirements is pretty big.
- It is said that the Confining Prison he is the last vestige of the Buddhist monk Genshin, but was he the one who created the Confining Prison?
- His cursed technique was a barrier technique, so after sealing many curses on himself, Genshin himself became a cursed item upon his death.
- Historically, has anyone been incarcerated before in the Confining Prison?
- Yes, there has been. Essentially, the Confining Prison can only hold one person at a time and cannot be used another time unless the person trapped inside commits suicide or opens the door to escape.
