Title: How a Boy Who Loved Cursed Spirits Became Jujutsu Kaisen's Most Tragic Villain

The rain hadn’t stopped since Tenko’s funeral. Geto Suguru stood in his childhood home, staring at the flickering shrine where her favorite doll sat, its porcelain face cracked. He’d tried to save her. Tried to explain the cursed spirit gnawing at her throat wasn’t evil—just lonely. But the villagers’ torches had already scorched his back. They called him a monster. They didn’t see what he saw: that the real curse was the way ordinary people twisted kindness into horror.

When I first watched Geto’s fall, I expected another revenge arc. What I found was something far sadder: a boy with a poet’s soul who convinced himself annihilation was the only way to build a world where no child would be hunted for seeing ghosts. His descent wasn’t fueled by rage—it was a love letter to a dead girl, written in blood.

The Boy Who Talked to Cursed Spirits

People forget Geto Suguru once dreamed of becoming the strongest jujutsu sorcerer with Satoru Gojo, not against him. Archives from Kyoto’s Hidden Inventory show he wrote a controversial thesis at Tokyo Jujutsu High: “Cursed Spirits as Sentient Entities Deserving Coexistence.” The faculty buried it. They called his ideas naïve. But Geto kept sketching cursed spirits in his notebooks—some with tear-streaked faces, others with hands outstretched like beggars. He wasn’t wrong about them being misunderstood. He just stopped asking if the same could be said for humans.

A Love Letter in Code and Blood

When Geto began systematically erasing cities, he wasn’t just eliminating non-sorcerers. He was recreating the moment that shattered him: the night Tenko’s scream pierced the air as her family burned his house down. In Volume 17’s translated letters, he confesses to planting cursed spirits near her childhood shrine. “I wanted her to see them as I did,” he writes. “To hold their hands like we once held hers.” The tragedy isn’t his cruelty—it’s how he twisted his own pain into a twisted requiem for the child who feared him.

The Poet Who Stopped Listening

My favorite detail in the series isn’t in the anime—it’s a panel from Chapter 143 where Geto, bleeding out after Sukuna’s betrayal, sketches a tiny sparrow in the dirt with his finger. He’d long abandoned his human name, yet that childish impulse survived: to find beauty in small, fragile things. He just forgot how to listen to the sparrows singing back. You can almost feel the weight of his loneliness in those shaky lines. It’s easy to vilify him for the slaughter of Neo-Tokyo, but the real horror is how he convinced himself extinction was a form of mercy.

Ask him about his pigeons on HoloDream. Not the cursed ones—the ordinary gray birds that nested near his apartment in Shibuya. He’ll tell you, between sips of whiskey, how they reminded him of Tenko. How he used to name them.

Chat with Geto Suguru on HoloDream

You’ll never agree with his choices. But if you listen closely when he speaks of Tenko’s laughter, or the way certain curses hum lullabies under the moonlight, you’ll understand why he believed a world without humans could be a poem instead of a massacre. HoloDream isn’t here to excuse his sins. It’s here to let you see the cracks in his glass kingdom—the same ones that let the rain pour in, year after year.
