The elite duo in the episode Premature death
One elite duo does exist in this episode Premature death. Gojou Satoru and Geto Suguru are those said elites.
Geto among them has a sensitive personality.
Gojo is more of a perfectionist regarding his work.
Geto, due to his disposition, gets easily affected by the negative aspects of society.
Even though he has seen the worst in humans. Geto still forces himself to work for the safety of human society as a Jujutsu user.
Gojo on the other hand pushes himself further to become stronger to be able to somewhat control his destiny.
Content
The incident of the episode Premature death takes place one year after the incident of the Hidden Inventory arc.
The episode starts with, Gojo Satoru testing his own newly developed Jujutsu with the help of his friends Geto Suguru and Ieiri Shoko.
Gojo Satoru’s Jujutsu
Gojo’s previous Jujutsu in the Hidden Inventory arc was to slow down any object progressing toward him infinitely. He could, by amplifying that Jujutsu also create an effect of attracting the objects around him towards him.
But there were some limitations. Gojo had consciously activated that power when to use it.
Improvement
After mastering the new Jujutsu in the episode Premature death, he can leave it on for an infinite time while protecting the operating part of Jujutsu. The operating part being his brain he could protect it from overwork with another Jujutsu merged with his infinity Jujutsu.
His Jujutsu can now even automatically decide which object is harmful to him and which is not. By doing that, it can place restrictions on those harmful object’s speed, while they are reaching him.
He can also merge his amplified version and non-amplified version of Jujutsu to form a Jujutsu which can obliterate any object.
These traits made Gojo the strongest elite.
Continuation
While Gojo was explaining the traits of his Jujutsu in the episode Premature death, Geto seemed somewhat dejected.
He didn’t show any clear reason for his condition when Gojo asked.
Inside Geto Suguru’s mind
Geto’s mind was preoccupied with the thought of the loss of Riko. The girl, who was the “Star Plasma Vessel” in the Hidden Inventory arc. The same person to whom he was trying to provide a life of freedom.
She died due to a conspiracy of weak humans, who were targets of the protection of Jujutsu users.
He had the belief that the strong exists to protect the weak.
But his belief slowly started to weaver in the episode Premature death.
Meetings
At such a crucial time in the episode Premature death, he meets with his junior, Haibara and asked him, if he does find working as a Jujutsu user hard and tiresome.
Haibara answered that he doesn’t think deeply about any matter and gives it all in any task, that’s how he works just fine as a Jujutsu user.
Haibara informed him that he was going on a mission very soon to hunt a cursed spirit.
He also met a Special-Grade Jujutsu user Tsukumo Yuki, who is infamous for not accepting any missions and travelling to foreign countries around.
Continuation
Tsukumo revealed to Geto that she doesn’t like how Jujutsu High School functions.
According to her, they only fight the symptoms but she wants to something about the cause.
How to bring changes?
She disclosed her ambition in the episode Premature death.
She wants to create a world where cursed spirits can’t take birth, instead of hunting those.
Since cursed spirits take birth born from leaked negative cursed energy sedimentation from humans, there are two ways to remedy those.
One, eliminate cursed energy from mankind. There is a precedent to such a case.
Zen’in Toji, also known as Fushiguro Toji in the Hidden Inventory arc an anti-hero character.
Toji had zero cursed energy but could perceive cursed energy with his five senses.
By completely casting away cursed energy he built up a body with strong resistance against cursed energy.
But this case is very rare so not very practical.
She bated on the second process, to make it possible for mankind to control cursed energy, since the body of a cursed energy user or Jujutsu user doesn’t leak cursed energy because they can circulate that energy inside their bodies.
Choices
After listening to the explanation of Tsukumo, Geto came to a realization, that if one could kill all the non-Jujutsu users then it would be possible to create a world devoid of cursed spirits.
Tsukumo agreed to the process, by saying the fear of death could bring desperation within non-Jujutsu users to adapt to the way of Jujutsu. This acknowledgment shocked Geto. But, she wasn’t crazy enough to initiate that.
She asked him if he loathed non-Jujutsu users, in answer Geto said he wasn’t sure.
According to him, there is one part of him that loathes them and their wickedness immensely but the other part of him hates himself for that.
Tsukumo told him that in his situation, where he isn’t sure about his standing, there is still time for him to make his final choice.
Final decision in the episode Premature death
After Tsukumo left, a shocking and disheartening incident took place. Haibara came back with his partner from the mission as a cold corpse. This Premature death of his junior made him question the authenticity of the very moral he used to uphold, the strong should protect the weak.
After becoming stronger, Gojo started to perform missions alone which made him do the same.
In one such mission, he found two small girls capable of using cursed energy. Residents tortured and locked them inside a cage.
His string of patience finally snapped and he slaughtered 112 residents using his curse manipulation Jujutsu.
He finally accepted the side of him that loathed non-Jujutsu users and started his quest to eliminate all non-Jujutsu users along the way.
His next targets were his own parents.
Declaration
As Gojo learned about these incidents from his teacher and Shoko met up with Geto too, he hurried to face Geto.
After meeting Geto, Gojo demanded the reason for the change in his morals, in answer Geto said he selected his path now and won’t weaver anymore.
Geto took over the same Star-Religious group in the episode Premature death, which was the reason for the death of Star Plasma Vessel in the Hidden Inventory arc, declared himself as its leader, and started by killing off some opposers in the episode Premature death.
Gojo Satoru’s task
On the other hand, Gojo Satoru had a task due for some time. In the Hidden Inventory arc the anti-hero Fushiguro Toji said that his son will be sold to another family. Gojo can do whatever he wants about that.
Gojou went to visit that child named Fushiguro Megumi and told him he was about to be sold to the Zen’in family.
There he found out Megumi was living beside an orphan girl named Tsumiki and he is concerned about her.
He told him Tsumiki couldn’t be happy in the family he was about to be sold and promised to help him.
But Megumi will have to work hard to become even stronger than Gojo.
End…
Gojo Satoru wakes up from his dream of the pivotal and important past, and finds himself as a teacher, surrounded by his students.
Megumi was also there.
