Why Jujutsu Kaisen Fans Mourn on Christmas Eve: The Cursed Legacy of Dec. 24
For Jujutsu Kaisen fans, December 24th is a day of mourning, not celebration. We explore the tragic in-universe events of Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru that created this unique fan tradition.
Why does the internet turn somber on Christmas Eve? Instead of schmaltzy holiday content, timelines are filled with fan art and devastating posts. For fans of the hit series Jujutsu Kaisen, December 24th isn't a day for celebration—it's a day of collective mourning.
The Cursed Date: Why December 24th?
For the Jujutsu Kaisen fandom, December 24th is a loaded date. In the story's timeline, it marks the deaths of two central characters, Geto Suguru and Satoru Gojo, former best friends turned ideological opposites. Geto dies on this date, and exactly one year later, Gojo meets the same fate in the manga. This has led fans to unofficially dub the day 'SatoSugu Day,' a time to remember their tragic, parallel story.
A Quiet Grief Shared Through Spoilers
While Geto's death is common knowledge for anime viewers, Gojo's remains one of the manga's biggest, most closely-guarded spoilers. This creates a unique dynamic on Dec. 24. Manga readers engage in a quiet, shared wake. They post edits, screenshots, and subtle references that say everything without explicitly revealing the spoiler. It's a form of collective grieving that respects anime-only fans while strengthening the bond among those who know what's to come.
This year feels particularly charged, with the anime's highly anticipated third season set to premiere on January 8, 2026. There's a shared awareness that this may be the last year this grief is confined to a specific part of the fandom. Soon, everyone will know.
