Jujutsu Kaisen has established itself as one of the most thrilling and intricately written shōnen manga series of the last decade. With its blend of intense action, layered characters, and a constantly evolving world of curses and sorcerers, it consistently pushes the boundaries of storytelling. However, as the series barrels forward with major developments and massive lore drops, there is one crucial arc that fans cannot help but feel robbed of, and it is one that could have added much-needed clarity to some of the story's most mysterious elements.

At the heart of this missing narrative is the story of the Six Eyes preceding Gojo Satoru. Mentioned in ing during an exposition-heavy moment, it is revealed that Kenjaku eliminated this individual just after his birth. But with little elaboration and no accompanying visuals or flashback, fans are left to fill in the blanks. The absence of this arc does not just leave a hole in the timeline, it clouds some of the most pivotal events in Jujutsu Kaisen’s mythos.

Who Was The Lost Six Eyes in Jujutsu Kaisen

This Missing Piece or Arc Could Have Added a lot to the Jujutsu Kaisen Story

Jujutsu Kaisen manga  - missing arc and Six Eyes  discussion

The Six Eyes and the Star Plasma Vessel are crucial to the ritual involving Master Tengen, a being whose existence underpins much of the sorcery world. According to Kenjaku, he killed the Six Eyes right after birth to prevent the ritual’s success. But somehow, both the Six Eyes and the Star Plasma Vessel still appear on the day of the merging. This contradiction leaves more questions than answers, and without an arc to explore this mystery, the narrative feels incomplete.

Gege Akutami, the creator of Jujutsu Kaisen, finally revealed who is the strongest character out of Gojo and Sukuna, and fans might be surprised.

Was it truly the same Six Eyes reborn, or did another individual awaken the Six Eyes mid-life? The implications of either scenario would have massive consequences for understanding the nature of the Six Eyes itself. If someone can suddenly manifest these abilities later in life, it drastically alters how special Gojo is, and how his power fits into the larger lore. It is exactly the kind of twist that deserved an entire arc, not a few lines of cryptic dialogue.

A Missed Opportunity for World-Building

This Would Have Been a Great Opportunity for Jujutsu Kaisen to Improve the World Around Its Characters

This missing arc also feels like a squandered chance to expand on the world of jujutsu sorcery. Fans have seen how layered and politically complex the higher-ups and cursed families can be, so exploring the events surrounding the Six Eyes' mysterious reappearance could have provided deeper insight into how these ancient systems truly operate. It might have even given fans a glimpse of Kenjaku’s earlier plans in motion, enriching his role as one of the series' main antagonists.

Instead, fans are expected to piece together this lore puzzle with minimal information. The exposition lands in the middle of Hakari’s domain fight, making it harder to absorb and interpret. This kind of storytelling shortcut feels out of place in a series that usually excels at intricate plotting. A full arc could have elevated the tension, fleshed out key characters, and deepened fans understanding of Tengen’s immortality and the true significance of the Six Eyes in Jujutsu Kaisen. Without it, fans are left with speculation instead of resolution.
