Jujutsu Kaisen stands out as one of the most notable anime to emerge in recent years, originating from the manga created by Gege Akutami, which first appeared in 2018. The show’s first season premiered in 2020 and garnered immense acclaim from anime enthusiasts, quickly elevating its status in the Shonen genre. It garnered admiration for its compelling narrative and its stunning, fluid animation quality.
Among the prominent figures in the manga is Gojo Satoru. He is introduced in both the inaugural chapter of the manga and the premiere episode of the anime, acting as a mentor to the student protagonists throughout the storyline. As the most formidable Sorcerer in existence, Gojo is both revered and feared due to his extraordinary abilities. While many fans are familiar with the fundamental aspects of his character, there are fascinating details known to only a select few.
Updated on November 1, 2024, by Rei Penber: Gojo Satoru remains one of the key figures in Jujutsu Kaisen and arguably the most beloved character within the narrative. Identified as the strongest sorcerer of modern times, Gojo has received significant narrative focus, especially in the latest arc, Shinjuku Showdown, where he faces off against Sukuna. Though previous lists of trivia covered intriguing facts regarding the King of Curses, new information has surfaced about Gojo’s combat abilities that will enhance fans’ understanding. Hence, this list has been revised.
18 Expert in Barrier Techniques
Gojo’s Mastery of Barriers
Gojo excels in Barrier Techniques, demonstrating impressive versatility. His ability to fabricate and manipulate barriers allows him to redefine their inherent rules in ways that defy human understanding. In his engagement with Sukuna, he modified the domain’s rules at such a rapid pace that observers, including Yuta, struggled to comprehend his actions.
This showcased an extraordinary level of skill with barrier techniques that Gojo has honed over the years. His expertise places him among the elite, likely rivalling only Sukuna in utilizing this art form.
17 Motivation to Teach
Gojo’s Desire to Transform Society
Initially, Gojo exhibited a rather indifferent attitude towards the weak and marginalized. Though opinions may vary on whether he remains callous, his perspective underwent a notable shift post-Hidden Inventory.
Witnessing Riko’s untimely death made Gojo acutely aware of the corrupt system he opposed. Rather than simply eliminating the higher-ups, he recognized the necessity for sustainable change. He resolved to become an educator, molding the next generation of sorcerers to drive the change he sought.
16 Remarkable Reverse Cursed Technique
Gojo’s Proficiency in High-Level RCT
Gojo is among the most proficient users of reverse cursed technique (RCT) witnessed in the series. His ability to heal at astonishing speeds is almost unmatched. For instance, he recovered from near-death during his youth in combat against Toji and demonstrated miraculous healing during his battle against Sukuna, even after enduring the Malevolent Shrine multiple times.
Remarkably, Gojo was able to mend his wounds simultaneously while facing severe attacks, illustrating his phenomenal regeneration capabilities. Furthermore, he possesses the unique ability to replenish his drained cursed technique, a skill that even adept users like Sukuna initially struggled to grasp.
15 Practitioner of Black Flash
Gojo’s Proficiency with Black Flash
Gojo stands at the apex of jujutsu sorcery in the series, showcasing formidable combat abilities comparable to Sukuna. Notably, proficient sorcerers often employ black flashes to enhance their power, and Gojo’s usage in the Shinjuku Showdown arc was nothing short of exceptional.
He executed four black flashes during his confrontation with Sukuna, evidencing his unparalleled control over cursed energy. While very few sorcerers can achieve such feats, delivering four black flashes in a single encounter is a remarkable achievement.
14 Specialist in Anti-Domain Techniques
Gojo’s Tactical Use of Anti-Domain Techniques
While Gojo is famous for his Limitless ability and refined reverse cursed technique, his adept use of anti-domain techniques often goes unnoticed. He has mastered both simple domain usage and the Falling Blossom Emotion Technique, both of which are potent counters to Domain Expansions.
This versatility enables Gojo to navigate domain clashes effectively, underscoring his status as a nuanced fighter capable of adapting to varied battle scenarios. His mastery of anti-domain techniques cements his position as one of the most adaptable sorcerers throughout the series.
13 Special Grade Sorcerer
In the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, sorcerers and curses are categorized into grades based on their proficiency and power levels. A Grade 1 sorcerer is more capable than a Grade 3 one. The Special Grade category, however, signifies an even higher echelon of power, indicating that these individuals warrant a distinct classification. Gojo stands as one of the few known sorcerers to achieve this prestigious rank.
12 The Limitless Technique
This remarkable technique is a legacy of the Gojo Family, enabling its users to manipulate and warp space. The Limitless concept indicates that anything divided forever approaches, but never truly reaches zero.
This manifests in the way attacks come close to Gojo but never make contact, as they are perpetually caught in a state of infinity.
11 Vast Reserves of Cursed Energy
Recognized as an unparalleled user of cursed energy, Gojo is often considered to possess some of the highest levels of cursed energy in the narrative. While figures like Yuta and Sukuna may have greater raw energy reserves, Gojo is celebrated for his exceptional efficiency in utilizing cursed energy.
This efficiency is believed to be intrinsically linked to his Six Eyes, allowing him to conserve and regenerate energy at an astonishing rate, effectively enabling him to maintain a near-endless supply of cursed energy during combat, a fact confirmed by Yuta himself.
10 Changed the Course of the World
Gojo embodies a monumental talent within the Jujutsu realm. His birth is said to have altered the very fabric of the world, indicating that his strength is formidable enough to influence global balance. He is the first individual in 400 years to inherit the Six Eyes and Limitless simultaneously, rendering him a significant threat to nearly every character in the narrative.
This uniqueness reinforces why Gojo is so exceptional, as even a mere glance from him can instill fear in those who dare to oppose him, a reaction repeatedly observed throughout the storyline.
9 Can Repeatedly Use Domain Expansion
Domain Expansion represents the pinnacle of Jujutsu sorcery, a technique that few characters in the series have truly mastered. This ability guarantees a direct attack within a user-defined domain imbued with their cursed technique, with Gojo’s Domain Expansion known as Unlimited Void.
While most sorcerers can perform this maneuver once a day due to the immense energy required, Gojo stands apart by his capacity to utilize Unlimited Void numerous times. In his clash with Sukuna, he executed it at least five times, a feat that underscores his exceptional ability to maintain control over cursed energy. Were it not for his limitations in using Reverse Cursed Technique, his potential usage would have been even greater, allowing him to unleash Domain Expansion virtually without restraint, marking him as the most formidable sorcerer.
8 Can Restore Exhausted Cursed Technique
One of Gojo’s most fearsome capabilities lies in his ability to replenish his drained cursed technique, showcasing a mastery of reverse cursed technique unmatched even by Yuta. This skill was a revelation even to Sukuna during their encounters, indicative of Gojo’s superior command over this power.
This grants Gojo an effective means of accessing vast reserves of cursed energy, enabling him to continuously recharge and employ his techniques repeatedly. While he cannot sustain this indefinitely—suffering collateral damage, such as brain strain during extensive battles, like the one against Sukuna—he can restore his RCT output after landing crucial hits, refreshing his abilities and solidifying his dominance in fights. In essence, Gojo’s reverse cursed technique ensures his supremacy in combat.
7 A Taste for Sweets
Satoru Gojo’s interest in sweets blossomed after he began consuming them to enhance cognitive function, eventually developing a penchant for sugary treats like candy and desserts.
He frequently indulges in sweet delicacies such as cakes and ice cream, though the motivation behind this self-stimulation remains unclear.
6 A Fan of Digimon
Digimon, standing for Digital Monsters, has gained immense popularity across various media formats including anime, manga, video games, and more.
Satoru Gojo was reportedly an admirer of this franchise during his high school days. Intriguingly, both the Japanese and the English voice actors for Gojo have also portrayed characters within the Digimon universe, a fact acknowledged by Kaiji Tang on his Twitter profile.
5 The Six Eyes
The Six Eyes is a rare ability inherited through the Gojo line, significantly enhancing the efficacy of the Limitless technique due to its unparalleled perception capabilities.
Gojo stands as the sole individual in 400 years capable of wielding both the Six Eyes and the Limitless technique concurrently, cementing his status as an extraordinary Sorcerer.
4 Connection to Masamichi Yaga
Masamichi Yaga, a powerful Grade 1 Sorcerer and former instructor at Tokyo Jujutsu High, played a pivotal role in sculpting Gojo’s skills despite Gojo’s natural capabilities, including his Limitless and Six Eyes.
3 Significance of His Name
Satoru Gojo’s name bears significant meaning in Japanese, derived from the verb representing ‘to understand’ or ‘to know.’
Depending on the Kanji used, it can also imply ‘to gain higher perception,’ reflecting the capabilities endowed by the Six Eyes, which enhance his extraordinary perceptual acuity and powers.
2 His Theme Songs
Gege Akutami, the creator of Jujutsu Kaisen, has expressed that Gojo Satoru’s thematic music aligns with “Mada Minu Asu Ni”by Asian Kung Fu Generation, released in 2008, and “Shame on Me”by Avicii from 2013. These tracks encapsulate the essence of Gojo’s character.
1 His Widespread Fame
Satoru Gojo is introduced as one of the foundational characters in the series, appearing in both the first chapter of the manga and the corresponding episode of the anime. His captivating blend of power, charisma, and aesthetic has won over a vast audience, establishing a devoted fan base.
His popularity skyrocketed, earning him the title of the third most popular character in Jujutsu Kaisen during the initial popularity poll, gathering an impressive tally of 16,923 votes.
