Suguru Geto. The name alone might conjure up images of a once-promising Jujutsu sorcerer turned villain, whose tragic arc reshapes everything we know about heroism, morality, and what it takes to truly fall from grace. Now, don’t get me wrong, this guy wasn’t just a villain for villain’s sake—there’s a whole lot more going on underneath all that power and eventual evil. He went from being a hopeful protector of humanity to the kind of guy who would manipulate cursed spirits to wipe out every human being. Yeah, you read that right.

So, how did Suguru Geto end up becoming one of the most tragic figures in Jujutsu Kaisen? Well, let me tell you, it’s a rollercoaster of betrayal, disillusionment, and, of course, some really bad decisions.

Anyway, here’s the kicker: his story isn’t just a case of “bad guy gets worse.” No, no. It’s a deep dive into his psyche, his internal struggles, and how one bad turn can send someone spiraling toward total darkness. And while it might seem like Geto was just another guy who “had it all” and then threw it away, his journey offers more than just lessons about the danger of unchecked power—it’s a reminder that sometimes, good intentions can pave the road to hell.

Suguru Geto’s Early Days: The Golden Boy of Jujutsu Sorcery

Let’s start at the beginning. Suguru Geto wasn’t always the villain we love to hate. Far from it. When he first entered the world of Jujutsu sorcery, Geto was a shining star—one of the brightest students at Jujutsu High. The man had serious chops. I mean, this guy could do things with cursed techniques that made even the best of them take a step back and go, “Wait, how did he pull that off?”

Geto was, for all intents and purposes, Gojo’s sidekick—if you want to call it that—alongside his buddy Satoru Gojo. At this stage, their relationship was tight. They were basically the sorcerer dream team, right? You had Gojo, the genius, and Geto, the grounded, methodical type. Together, they were unstoppable.

Now, picture this: a young, idealistic Suguru Geto, full of potential, walking through the halls of Jujutsu High, his future so bright you could almost see it glowing in the hallway lights. This wasn’t some guy with a tragic past or a guy struggling to find his way. Nah, he was a guy with a clear sense of purpose. Protect humanity, keep curses in check, and maintain the balance.

That was until reality started to throw him curveballs. I’ll be honest: no one’s perfect, and not even Geto could escape the harsh truths of being a Jujutsu sorcerer.

The Breaking Point: Why Geto Chose the Dark Path

Let me hit you with the moment that completely changed Geto’s life. He was on a mission with Gojo, doing the usual Jujutsu sorcerer thing—hunting curses, protecting the weak, and all that. But then, tragedy struck. Innocents, including children, were caught in the middle of one of their cursed battles. It’s that brutal truth that no one ever wants to confront: in the chaos of protecting humanity, it’s the innocent that gets sacrificed.

That’s the moment that shook Geto to his core. He thought he was fighting for something bigger, something noble. But seeing so many people—the very people he was supposed to protect—suffered for a system that didn’t seem to care, pushed him over the edge.

And I get it, honestly. I once tried to save my houseplants from an infestation of aphids. Spoiler alert: it ended with me getting sprayed in the face by pesticide and a ruined zen garden. If you’ve ever watched something you care about get destroyed because of a broken system, you’ll get why Geto snapped. Sometimes, you look at the bigger picture and go, “This isn’t worth it anymore.”

Once Geto started thinking like that, things went downhill fast. He decided that humanity wasn’t worth protecting anymore. Curses? Yeah, he thought they were far superior to humans. Curses were untainted by the weakness and failure of humanity. In his mind, they were the next step in evolution. Humans were just standing in the way. I’m telling you, once he hit that mental breaking point, there was no going back.

Geto vs. Gojo: Ideology vs. Friendship

Now, let’s talk about Gojo for a sec. Remember, Geto and Gojo were once best buds—two peas in a pod. But when Geto started seriously questioning everything, their relationship took a nosedive.

Gojo, being the idealistic powerhouse he is, could never get behind Geto’s philosophy. I mean, honestly, can you imagine trying to convince Satoru Gojo to abandon his mission to protect humanity? He’d probably laugh and then proceed to roast you with his six eyes. But Geto wasn’t laughing anymore. To him, Gojo was just another cog in a broken machine.

And y’all, that moment when Geto fully betrayed Gojo? It hit me like a punch in the gut. There’s something deeply unsettling about seeing someone you thought was a friend take a hard left turn into madness. But that’s exactly what Geto did. He betrayed everything Gojo stood for, and that’s when he fully became the villain. He joined forces with cursed spirits, manipulated them, and began plotting a world where humans were wiped out.

Fast forward a bit, and you’ve got Geto at the helm of a new army—cursed spirits like Jogo, Mahito, and Hanami joining forces with him. They were all on the same page: destroy humanity. And, oh boy, when you get cursed spirits that strong behind you? Well, that’s a recipe for disaster.

A Villainous Evolution: The Dark Path of Suguru Geto

So, where does all this lead? It leads to a Suguru Geto who’s lost any trace of the man he once was. This guy was no longer a Jujutsu sorcerer fighting for a cause—he became a figurehead for a revolution of cursed spirits. The guy was a master manipulator, controlling curses like puppets on strings. He was ruthless, calculating, and hell-bent on wiping out humanity.

But, and here’s the thing, Geto wasn’t evil in the way some villains are. He wasn’t just in it for the chaos or the power. No, his actions were driven by a warped ideology—one that he truly believed in. It’s the worst kind of villainy, honestly: the kind that comes from a place of conviction. He genuinely thought he was right.

Now, don’t get me wrong, the guy made some truly awful choices. His methods were brutal. But there were also moments where you could see a glimpse of the man he used to be, the man who cared. This little bit of humanity hanging on in the background made his transformation even more tragic.

The End of Suguru Geto: A Bitter Conclusion

Alright, we’re at the part where Suguru Geto’s fate gets sealed. Remember how I said that once someone goes down a dark path, they usually can’t come back? Well, this is where Gojo, the very man Geto betrayed, steps in.

The final confrontation between Geto and Gojo is nothing short of epic, but it’s also heartbreaking. Gojo defeats Geto, but it’s not a victory anyone can really celebrate. After all, what are you celebrating? The fall of a man who had so much potential but chose the wrong path? It’s a bittersweet ending that leaves you questioning everything—could things have been different if Geto had made different choices?

Now, we know Geto didn’t make it out alive, but let’s be real: his death wasn’t just the end of a villain. It was the death of a part of Gojo too. Losing a friend like that—it’s not something you just bounce back from.

The Legacy of Suguru Geto

Suguru Geto’s story is one of the most tragic in Jujutsu Kaisen. It’s about a man who was once full of promise, who had the world at his feet, only to be consumed by a belief that sent him spiraling into darkness. His legacy serves as a warning: it’s easy to become disillusioned, especially when the world around you seems broken. But that doesn’t mean abandoning everything you believed in is the answer.
