Apparently, some fans think Gojo Satoru is \u201cthe anime fandoms princess diana.<\/a>\u201d And the title seems to fit now that people have built a sprawling public shrine in his honor.<\/p>\n

Gojo is a leading character in the manga and anime Jujutsu Kaisen<\/em>. In the series, he\u2019s a slightly immature and cocky but well-intentioned mentor who leads the series\u2019 main posse of three youngsters. He looks like your typical anime pretty boy and has a lanky build and icy blue eyes. In the fictional world of the show, he\u2019s famous for being one of the most \u2014 if not the<\/em> most \u2014 powerful Jujutsu sorcerer. But like all the best anime characters, Gojo has become a real-world icon in his own right.<\/p>\n

Even if you don\u2019t care about anime, manga, or the latest obsession with a fictional character, it\u2019s highly possible you\u2019ve bumped into him digitally. Whether it\u2019s social media trends using an augmented reality filter with him in it, memes that turn pets and landmarks into him, or audio clips using his lines from the show, Gojo has become a regular fixture of internet culture. The tag for his name has over 21 billion views on TikTok alone. <\/p>\n

The character became notable once again when leakers shared images of chapter 236 of the manga in September. The contents \u2014 which we won\u2019t get into now for spoiler purposes \u2014 prompted a massive show of support for the character. Now, love for the character has poured over from TikTok and other social media feeds and onto the streets of Santiago, Chile as fans convened to build the character a shrine to celebrate him. <\/p>\n

[Ed note:<\/strong> Spoilers ahead for the content of the leaks, including major spoilers for the Jujutsu Kaisen<\/em> manga.]<\/p>\n

Last week, leaks of the manga showed that Gojo Satoru died in the mainline series. The fan response has been intense, to say the least. While some fans have been content to make memes and share art of the character, others have sent death threats to Jujutsu Kaisen<\/em> creator Gege Akutami. On a much more positive note, Chilean fans in Santiago responded to the news by building shrines for the character. <\/p>\n

According to Fernanda, a fan who visited the shrines and spoke to Polygon for this article, fans have built two main shrines in Santiago located in subway stops running Crunchyroll and Jujutsu Kaisen <\/em>ads. The ads feature Gojo, so the walls made the perfect canvas for fans to express their love and the sense of loss that came with the character\u2019s death. Over the past week, viewers have flocked to the ads and have decorated the subway walls with hundreds of pieces of fan art, notes, and candles dedicated to the character. Fernanda shared images of the shrine with Polygon below. <\/p>\n
