Geto's transformation into a villain was not an instantaneous event but a gradual process, stemming from a series of profound and traumatic experiences that reshaped his worldview and ultimately led him to embrace a darker path as a curse user.
The Path to Disillusionment
Suguru Geto, once a gifted and idealistic jujutsu sorcerer, began to question the world he inhabited and the sacrifices demanded of sorcerers. His experiences chipped away at his initial beliefs, pushing him towards radical ideologies.
Key Influences and Traumatic Events
Several critical incidents profoundly affected Geto, serving as catalysts for his moral decline:
- Discussions with Yuki Tsukumo: A pivotal conversation with another special grade jujutsu sorcerer, Yuki Tsukumo, likely introduced or reinforced radical ideas about the future of jujutsu society and the fundamental nature of the conflict between sorcerers and curses. While the specifics of their discussion are not detailed, this interaction undeniably played a role in shaping Geto's evolving philosophy.
- Yu Haibara's Death: The tragic death of a younger, optimistic sorcerer, Yu Haibara, who died in action, deeply impacted Geto. This loss served as a stark reminder of the immense burden and often fatal consequences faced by jujutsu sorcerers, particularly when protecting non-sorcerers (known as "monkeys" in Geto's later lexicon). Haibara's death likely fueled Geto's growing resentment towards a world that demanded such sacrifices from sorcerers for those he perceived as ungrateful or unworthy.
| Event | Impact on Geto's Worldview |
|---|---|
| Conversation with Yuki Tsukumo | Introduced or solidified radical ideological shifts. |
| Yu Haibara's Death | Intensified disillusionment and resentment towards non-sorcerers. |
The Tipping Point: A Radical Decision
The culmination of these experiences led Geto to a decisive, horrific act that cemented his transition to villainy.
- The Village Massacre: Geto reached a critical breaking point where he chose to commit an act of extreme violence, murdering 112 people in a village. His stated motivation for this atrocity was to rescue two young girls who were being held captive and abused for their cursed energy, seen as "monkeys" by the villagers. This act was not merely one of cruelty, but a radical solution born from his twisted ideology that non-sorcerers were the root cause of the world's cursed energy problems and that purging them would lead to a better world for sorcerers.
Following this horrific massacre, Geto made the conscious decision to fully embrace his new path. He was immediately expelled from the jujutsu school and swiftly became known as the worst of all curse users. His transformation from a protector of humanity to its perceived enemy was complete, driven by a profound disillusionment with the existing world and a radical, violent vision for its future.
