Suguru Geto hated non-sorcerers, usually referring to them as “monkeys”. He felt sorcerers are the superior race and humanity’s next stage of evolution. He was smug and extremely condescending towards normal humans, using fake personas to lure in vulnerable people who were cursed. Suguru found non-sorcerers disgusting enough to spray himself in order to disinfect the “monkey stench”. He believed monkeys only have two roles in association with him, money-collecting monkeys and curse-collecting monkeys. If they weren’t fulfilling their roles, Suguru would gladly allow curses to kill them without any remorse.
The arc begins with 16 year old Suguru Geto and Satoru Gojo rescuing sorcerers Mei Mei and Utahime Iori, who have not been in contact with college for 2 days and experienced certain difficulties on their mission. Back at Jujutsu High, they have a conversation on what happened, and it becomes apparents they have opposing views on the principles and objectives of the sorcerers. Satoru does not understand why they have to hide what they are doing from non-sorcerers, adding that it is very troublesome trying to save commoners all the time. Suguru does not agree, he is certain that its society’s obligation to protect the weak. In his opinion, jujutsu exists to defend non-sorcerers from curses. His friend expresses his displeasure with Suguru’s “righteous” rhetoric, even calling him weak for that. Suguru looses temper and proposes they settle it down physically, but Satoru teasingly puts him down. Before Suguru can answer, principal Yaga walks in and informs them they are both needed for a mission.
Gojo and Geto go on a mission to retrieve Riko Amanai who is to become Star Plasma Vessel, they have to escort her to Jujutsu High where she could fulfill her sacral role and merge with Tengen. Before they could head to the destination with Riko and her caretaker Misato, they decide to go to Okinawa for a day. On the island, Suguru notices that Satoru has been using his technique non-stop. He expresses his worry over Satoru’s mental and physical state, guessing the sorcerer plans on spending the night awake to be able to control his technique. Gojo dismisses his concerns saying they do not need to worry about that, since Geto is beside him and can help him if something goes wrong. When they arrive at Jujutsu High, Suguru thanks him for his hard work protecting them.
Upon their arrival, they are attacked by Toji Fushiguro, who pierces Gojo with his sword. Suguru immediately summons a curse and rushes to his side, but Satoru reassures him saying it is fine, as it did not hit any vital organs. Gojo missions Geto with escorting Riko to Tengen safely, while he assumes the responsibility of stopping Toji. Departing, Suguru asks the sorcerer to be careful. Left alone, Suguru admits to Riko that he and Satoru made an agreement even before meeting her: they will give her a chance to decide whether she really wants to become the Star Plasma Vessel. Risking everything, they would call it all off, if she refuses to merge, and face whatever consequences will arise to protect her.
After getting the upperhand and immobilizing Gojo, Toji finds Geto and Riko and kills the girl in front of him. Suguru is shocked to see the assassin as he believed Gojo would not have have let him go if he were alive. His concern is confirmed by Fushiguro — he informs Geto about having killed Gojo, to which Geto replies with “then die” and attempts to murder him to avenge Riko and Satoru. However, Toji proceeds to injure him and knock him out, like he did to Gojo.
Satoru comes to senses, uses reverse technique to heal himself, and fights Toji. After finishing with him, Gojo retrieves Riko’s body from the Time Vessel Association Headquarters, brought there by Fushiguro. Suguru arrives shortly after, surprised to see Satoru’s new aloof demeanor — at first he can hardly recognize him. Satoru makes sure Shoko had Suguru patched up after his stand-off with Toji — Geto assures him that he is alright and expresses his regret for how things went with Riko. Gojo believes it’s not his fault and tells him so. As the children of the star clap for Riko’s dead body, Satoru asks Suguru whether he should kill them all, but his friend reassures him that it would be meaningless, and there always needs to be a reason for a sorcerer to take a life.
A year later, in August of 2007, Suguru and Shoko test the abilities of Satoru’s Infinity Technique by throwing small objects at him. Over the year Satoru has perfected his technigue, now being able to keep it active at all times, simultaneously he is running a self-recovery Reverse Cursed Technique to keep his brain fresh from overworking. When before Satoru and Suguru were both the strongest, now it is only Satoru Gojo, leading Yaga to send him on more solitary missions. It leaves Suguru alone most of the time, and it must have caused the change in his mental stability, alongside with Riko’s death. It is confirmed later when Satoru notices that Suguru lost weight, however Geto dismisses his friend’s concerns saying that it’s all because of the summer stress. Suguru has been caught in an endless circle swallowing curses one after another all summer long; the amount and the repulsive taste of the consumed curses, aided by his loneliness, lead to him feeling isolated and depressed as he saw no way out.
When Yu Haibara, Suguru’s junior, is going on a trip, he visits Geto and asks him what he should bring back home as a souvenir. Suguru asks for something sweet, since he will be sharing it with Satoru. After having a conversation with him and Yuki Tsukumo (the third Special Grade Sorcerer along with Geto and Gojo), Geto decides that he does not feel that devoted to the version of this world where he has to fight curses all his life to save the lives of ordinary people. On one of his missions following the conversation with Yuki and Haibara’s death, Geto makes a desicion murdering a village of non-sorcerers who maltreated two girls for being able to perform sorcery. From that moment Suguru Geto chooses to stray from the path of humaity, starting his own fight for the world free of non-sorcerers and subsequently curses born from human vices.
Now Geto is on the run with Mimiko and Nanako — under Article 9 of the Jujutsu Regulations he is to be executed on sight as a curse user. Satoru’s initial reaction upon hearing the news from Yaga is stupor, as Geto did not inform him on anything of what has happened, and he certainly did not expect anything like that from his morally stable friend. Yaga explains that Geto, who is now considered a curse user, left his home and it is apparent that he killed his non-sorcerer parents. This information leads stunned Gojo into an even deeper state of shock and refusal. Some time later Suguru, apparently ready to have the conversation with his former classmates, appears in front of slightly amused Shoko, who instantly contacts Gojo on the phone and tells him she spotted Suguru.
Unnerved Satoru quickly finds him and demands an explanation for his actions. Geto says there is not much to it, besides what he already said to Shoko about his new vision of the world. Satoru pleads to his consiousness, mentioning his parents, but the curse user is sure that if he wants to make a change, he cannot make exceptions for anyone, even his own family. Geto adds that now he has another family to take care of. They argue and Satoru employs the same reasoning Geto himself did a year ago after Riko’s death: he says there is no meaning in killing innocent people, but Suguru adheres to the opposite point of view. Gojo heatedly proclaims that Geto would not be able to reach his goal anyway, so there is no point in trying, which leads to Suguru noting that this remark is very arrogant on Satoru’s side, considering he is now the strongest. Geto believes he cannot assume his plan to be futile and impossible as if he became Satoru, it would not seem so unfeasible. Gojo becomes agitated and is ready to use his powers against Geto, but when Suguru says that he is free to kill him if he wants, if he finds meaning in that, Gojo is ultimately unable to bring himself to kill his one and only best friend.
