Suguru Geto

Suguru Geto (Japanese: 夏油 傑, Hepburn: Getō Suguru) is a fictional character and the main antagonist of Gege Akutami's mangaJujutsu Kaisen 0. Suguru Geto is a Special Grade Curse User, who was classmates and friends with Satoru Gojo. He seeks Yuta Okkotsu, the protagonist of the prequel series, for his Special Grade Curse, Rika Orimoto. Geto also appears in the main Jujutsu Kaisen series, which, through flashbacks, develops his and Gojo's complicated relationship and their eventual antagonism toward one another. In the main series, his corpse is controlled by Kenjaku (Japanese: 羂索, Hepburn: Kenjaku), a Curse User with the Cursed Technique: "Brain Transplant," which allows him to take over the bodies of others; Kenjaku uses this on Geto after his death by Gojo at the end of the prequel series. Kenjaku's goal is to evolve humanity through Cursed Energy to create a new golden age of jujutsu sorcery similar to the Heian period.

Shinobu Sensui, an antagonist from Yoshihiro Togashi's manga series YuYu Hakusho, inspired Akutami to create Geto, wanting also to explore prejudice through his character. Kenjaku was influenced by Naruto antagonist Orochimaru, with both being immortal sorcerers who use vessels to continue living. In the anime adaptations of Jujutsu Kaisen, the character is voiced by Takahiro Sakurai in Japanese and Lex Lang in English.

The character was praised by critics for his role in Jujutsu Kaisen 0, coming across as a striking villain in his fights against Yuta and his class, while also developing a deep relationship with Gojo upon the revelation of their connection. The revelation of Kenjaku controlling Geto's body in the main series resulted in mixed responses due to its effect on the narrative and Geto.
