Gojo’s return from the Prison Realm in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 221 was intentional, Gege Akutami said in a comment reported by multiple outlets. The remark does not explain exactly how Gojo escaped: it jokes that Yuji Itadori’s right ear returning was Akutami’s mistake, but that Gojo coming back was not.
How did Gojo come back in Jujutsu Kaisen?
Gojo returned after escaping the Prison Realm in Chapter 221. ComicBook.com describes the route as a “backdoor,” but that is its account of the chapter’s events—not an explanation Akutami gave in the reported author comment. ComicBook.com’s report and Hindustan Times’ report both identify the comment as confirming that Gojo’s comeback was not an error.

What did Gege Akutami say?
As quoted by ComicBook.com, Akutami wrote: “Itadori’s right ear returning is my mistake, but Gojo coming back isn’t a mistake.” Hindustan Times reported matching wording. The line distinguishes an admitted continuity mistake involving Yuji’s ear from Gojo’s planned return; it does not provide a detailed creator explanation of the escape.
The distinction matters: the comment is a witty confirmation of intent, not a technical account of how the Prison Realm was circumvented. The available reports are secondary coverage, rather than the original Chapter 221 text or the original author-comment page.

Is this the same as Akutami explaining Gojo’s loss to Sukuna?
No. A separate Meristation story from April 2025 covered Akutami’s reported explanation of Gojo’s defeat. It said that after Mahoraga was defeated, Gojo believed Sukuna no longer had a way to get around Infinity; a more alert Gojo might have sensed danger and avoided a fatal wound. That later comment concerns the Sukuna fight, not Gojo’s return from the Prison Realm. Meristation’s report presents the statement in English translated from Spanish, not as a verified English original.
