Why Is Christmas Eve Sad for Gojo and Geto? the Jjk Holiday Lore Faq
By Marcus Vance
The tragedy originated in the pages of Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical School, later canonized as Jujutsu Kaisen 0. On December 24, 2017, Suguru Geto unleashed thousands of curses across Shinjuku and Kyoto in an operation dubbed the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons. The terror campaign was a tactical diversion. Geto intended to draw sorcerer forces away from Tokyo Jujutsu High so he could isolate Yuta Okkotsu and consume the Special Grade vengeful cursed spirit, Rika Orimoto.
The plan collapsed when Okkotsu manifested Rika’s full strength, critically wounding Geto in their duel. Severely injured and missing an arm, Geto crawled into an alleyway on the school grounds. Gojo intercepted him there. Their final conversation lacked malice, defined instead by a weary recognition of who they once were during their youth. Gojo uttered unvoiced parting words, confirmed by Akutami to be a reaffirmation of their unique bond, before delivering the lethal blow.
Sorcerer protocol demanded that high-ranking curse users be incinerated immediately under supervised barrier techniques to prevent cursed energy residue from attracting scavengers. Gojo ignored the protocol. Driven by lingering affection, he left Geto’s remains intact, creating an opening that destabilized the modern jujutsu landscape.
