I have read the manga until the last chapter and I still not understand why Satoru had to kill Geto. I think the better option would be to put him in a jail and keep him alive, trying to make his best friend realize the things he did weren't the right way to solve sorcerer problems. I don't feel like Geto could kill Gojo.

He had killed way too many humans by that point - no way the higher-ups would have allowed him to be spared.

Remember that Gojo couldn't even convince them to spare the innocent kid Yuuji - just DELAY his execution.

His death sentence at that point was suspended for a decade, after the parade he caused too much public disturbance and caused the deaths of many sources and those involved in the jujutsu world, along with major damages to both the High School, shinjuku and Kyoto. In his condition he was half death anyways, Gojo opposing the execution would’ve been met with great pushback from everyone including Yuta. The choice was to kill him (objectively deserved) or uproot all of Jujutsu Society drastically.

The top dogs wouldn't spare Yuji, who as innocent so why would they spare Geto who killed thousands

The other thing too is that Geto was already on his last legs so he would’ve died a painful slow death if Gojo didn’t do it right there

I think it's because he's too dangerous and Gojo had already disregarded the assignment so it was kinda showing his change. Plus a bit of a mercy killing with those injuries.

But yeah I think the main thing is his threat level. Just like how Yuji and Nobara said they wouldn't have been able to hold the two Death Paintings so they would've been killed either way

Pretty sure Geto was on the verge of death
It was more of a mercy kill to end his suffering

It was really brief, but (spoilers) in Season 2 of the anime, when Geto first killed the humans, he was sentenced to execution. It is an obvious crime in Jujutsu world to hurt let alone kills those who you need to protect.

So Gojo really had no choice but to kill him, because he needed to be executed.

The only way for Geto to redeem himself is through death he killed far too many ppl to be kept alive🤷🏽‍♂️

@Arjun_Manoj I agree but he said he would fight agaisnt Tengen and all the sorcerer society if Riko didn't want to merge with Tengen, but he can't fight for his best friend? The only answer I find in this is that he changed his mind along the years, but I remember Gojo saying he wanted to destroy all the higher-ups in seasson 1

Riko was an innocent child. Geto had killed SO many innocent people by that point. Can't believe you don't see the difference.

Think of the person you love the most in real life - if it turns out that he/she was secretly a serial pedophile or something, would YOU still do everything in your power to save them from the punishment they deserve? If you WOULD, then it would be incredibly wrong & unjust to their victims. What the higher-ups think aside, Gojo himself (along with those whose opinions he actually cares about - like Principal Yaga, Yuuta etc) is mature & has a decent enough moral compass to know the same.

I'd like to add to what the others said and point out that the final thread snapped for Gojo once Geto went for the young ones. They both sort of strive for the well being and nurturing of younger sorcerers in their own ways, but Geto kinda lost it for Rika and her potential.
Gojo first and foremost voices his disgust at Geto for not even caring about the young sorcerers anymore, when they meet at the end.

I'd say Gojo finally realised then that the friend he knew back then was too far gone.

The guy literally wanted to kill all non-sorcerer humans and his scheme actually did get some people killed, not to mention the sheer amount of destruction in Kyoto and Shinjuku that was caused because of his plan. Considering how dangerous he was, killing him was the most practical solution.
