In the flashback section that encompasses the first arc of “Jujutsu Kaisen” Season 2, we see a very different version of Suguru Geto. While Gojo’s freewheeling devil-may-care attitude dismisses morality and righteousness altogether, Geto argues that it is their job as jujutsu sorcerers to protect regular humans from this hidden war.
This is a far cry from the character who Geto eventually becomes, a Magneto-like villain who sees sorcerers as the next evolution of humanity. As his personality and motivation begin to change, his moral code does an about-face, leading to the villainous character who we meet in “Jujutsu Kaisen 0.”
The main prompt for how Geto’s attitude changes toward humans comes from the selfish and prejudicial nature that he perceives in non-sorcerers. What seems to finally set him off for good following the death of Riko Amanai (Anna Nagase) is an event in which he witnesses villagers persecuting two curse users and decides to take out his rage on the denizens of the village. Here is where the character that we’re more familiar with first emerges, showing that Geto’s once-noble nature has been corrupted by these traumatic events.
