Who is Masamichi Yaga ? He is a fairly important character in the Jujutsu Kaisen series, holding the position of principal of the College of Magic. He holds quite a lot of power in the wizarding world and is one of the few people who understands Gojo Satoru. The principal's death has a huge impact on the plot. So does he have a chance to live again, or is he really dead?
Is Masamichi Yaga dead?
It may sound hard to accept for fans of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga, but Masamichi Yaga is actually dead. He was killed by Principal Gakuganji in chapter 147! It seems that the possibility of Yaga transferring her soul to another body is very low, almost impossible.
Although Masamichi Yaga is someone who can put souls into puppets to create puppets with powerful magical powers, sending his own soul seems impossible in a situation where there is no other person. Prepare like this. Honestly, if author Gege Akutami keeps letting characters die at this rate, Jujutsu Kaisen will probably end soon.
How did Masamichi Yaga die?
Yaga was on the Special Ranks' execution list after the Shibuya Incident. They were determined to sentence him to death. His death was not related to the Shibuya incident, but came from his own technique. Because Masamichi Yaga can create his own puppets with independent personalities and emotions. This technique is so terrible that he was previously arrested by his superiors for the same reason.
Since the execution order was issued, Yaga has been hiding in a forest protected by Tengen's barrier. This is also where he hides his puppets with souls. Unfortunately, the Agents decided to use Panda to lure him out. Even though he knew this was a trap, Masamichi Yaga still decided to appear. He said goodbye to the comedians in the forest and went to rescue Panda. However, what was waiting for him was Principal Gakuganji. Although battle scenes were omitted, the end result was Yaga lying mortally wounded before Gakuganji.
How will Masamichi Yaga's death affect the plot?
At this point, it's hard to tell the impact on the plot after Principal Yaga's death. He was the first victim to fall by the Special Rank of Magicians. So it's very possible that Gege Akutami is building up the Specials as an evil force and giving Panda and the others a solid reason to take them down.
Besides, Masamichi Yaga is one of the rare people who understands Gojo Satoru's personality. After his departure, whether Gojo will continue to be a good teacher or lose his will is still a mystery. Or perhaps, he will be the one who massacres high-ranking people to avenge Masamichi Yaga?
Masamichi Yaga cannot really be resurrected, the other characters of Jujutsu Kaisen are having to fight both the spirit and the Special level. Please continue to follow Gege's work to see if the main character's side can win.
