Gojo has always done whatever he pleases without regard to the powers that be in Jujutsu Kaisen but in a recent chapter of the manga, he takes this to the extreme. The popular Shonen Jump series by Gege Akutami is entering its final arc which makes drastic actions like this make sense on a narrative level. It also shows how scary Gojo can be despite his upbeat demeanor.
In chapter #223 of Jujutsu Kaisen, translated by John Werry, Gojo has an important chat with Yoshinobu. Yoshinobu has long served as an unpleasant representative of the sorcerers in charge of Jujutsu Society. As such he was also the one who killed Gojo's friend Yaga after Gojo was sealed. Surprisingly, Gojo doesn't hold this against him, saying that he was just acting on orders. He also mentions that he has always thought that Yoshinobu would be a much better leader of Jujutsu Society.
