Gojo Satoru’s Key Traits in Jujutsu Kaisen
After understanding his biography, let’s explore some fascinating traits of Gojo Satoru.
Personality
Gojo’s personality is quite complex. He appears easygoing with his colleagues, friends, and students but is extremely cold and ruthless toward the higher-ups in the Jujutsu society. His blatant disregard for Principal Gakuganji is a prime example.
Gojo is highly confident in his reputation and “invincible” strength, which sometimes makes him arrogant.
Powers
Gojo’s confidence and arrogance are justified by his immense power.
- Six Eyes: This rare ability is considered a precious gift. Yuta has stated that the Six Eyes allows Satoru to reduce his cursed energy consumption from technique activation infinitesimally near to nothing, and that he will never run out of cursed energy in a fight as a result. It is heavily implied that Six Eyes allows for the user to perceive the world in terms of mass, speed, energy, and so forth alongside its other effects.
- Limitless: This technique grants its users nigh-absolute control over space through cursed energy manipulation at an atomic level, resulting in multiple subsequent results and techniques within the overall ability. With the manipulation of space as just the base level of the technique, Limitless has three standards and one “non-standard” form beyond this.
- Black Flash: A phenomenon that occurs when the user applies cursed energy within 0.000001 seconds of a physical hit, creating a spatial distortion that causes their cursed energy to flash black and amplifies the destructive power of the strike to the power of 2.5.
- Curse Technique Lapse: Blue: The reinforced version of the neutral limitless; Blue is the byproduct of Gojo amplifying the Limitless and negative energy, producing a vacuum. Through these, Gojo creates a scenario where the world itself is forced to correct itself and fill in the negative space, causing all matter in the range of the commanded space to be pulled together.
- Curse Technique Reversal: Red: Being an inversion of Blue, Red has the opposite effect. Using his reversal technique to invert the properties of Blue, Satoru activates the divergence of his infinity and causes an extremely powerful repulsive force, repelling all matter in its vicinity. Being an ability that is powered by positive cursed energy and formed as a reverse curse technique, the ability has two times the destructive ability of Blue.
- Hollow Technique: Purple: An advanced technique that collides the Lapse and Reversal of the Limitless, resulting in an imaginary mass that is launched at the target to deal destructive damage.
- Reverse Cursed Technique: After being put on his deathbed during his first fight with Toji Fushiguro, Satoru, tapping into the core of cursed energy, was finally able to unlock the ability to not only heal himself, but also make the positive energy flow into the Infinity, giving him access to his Red and Hollow Purple attacks.
- Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void: Gojo can create an infinite space, causing opponents to experience endless information, with no end to their perception. Satoru’s skill with his Domain Expansion is so great that he can precisely control the range and time of its activation for only 0.2 seconds, limiting its lasting effect on those he traps within it, and is able to freely change the conditions of Unlimited Void’s barrier. Those he makes physical contact with are also immune to its effect. This ability is considered the most powerful domain expansion in the series.
- Barriers: Gojo can create barriers to isolate certain areas from the outside world.
6 Lesser-Known Facts About Gojo Satoru
Let’s dive into some lesser-known facts about Gojo Satoru.
1. Shifted The World Since His Birth
Gojo is a once-in-a-generation talent in the world of Jujutsu. It’s said that when he was born, the very fabric of the world shifted. His immense strength alone has the power to tip the balance of the entire planet. As the first individual in 400 years to inherit both the Six Eyes and the Limitless simultaneously, Gojo stands as an overwhelming threat to almost anyone in the series.
This highlights just how extraordinary Gojo truly is and why his strength is unparalleled. Even a single glance from him is enough to strike fear into the hearts of those who dare to oppose him—a fact that has been demonstrated numerous times throughout the story.
2. Nearly Killed by Fushiguro Toji
Although Gojo is the strongest special-grade sorcerer, he was nearly killed by Fushiguro Toji, who possessed no cursed energy. However, Toji had mastered the use of cursed tools and had immense physical strength.
Surviving this encounter helped Gojo perfect his techniques, allowing him to develop new abilities like Hollow Purple and the Black Rope, which severely injured Toji and ended the battle.
3. Belongs to One of the Three Major Clans and Is Extremely Wealthy
Gojo belongs to one of the three most powerful families in the Jujutsu society. Due to this immense influence, giving 10 million yen to Mei Mei for investigative purposes is just a trivial matter for him.
With his arrogance and unmatched strength, Gojo often acts independently, disregarding the political power of other conservative sorcerer families.
4. Sealed but Still Faces Punishment
If you’re celebrating Gojo’s escape from the Prison Realm where he was sealed by Geto, don’t rejoice too soon. Gojo still faces a severe punishment from the Jujutsu headquarters.
Because Geto Suguru is still alive and the Shibuya Incident, orchestrated by Mahito and Geto, caused widespread damage in Japan, Gojo is also seen as an accomplice.
5. Gojo Satoru Loves Sweets
Despite his arrogant and somewhat cold personality, Gojo has a sweet tooth! His favorite food is the Kikufuku mochi, specifically the green tea and cream-filled ones from Kikusuian, a specialty of Miyagi Prefecture.
6. Not Entirely on the Side of Good
Yes, you heard that right. Even though Gojo is a teacher at the Tokyo Jujutsu High School, he isn’t considered entirely on the side of good.
His character is quite complex, but his ultimate goal is to reform the Jujutsu world through education. To achieve this, Gojo aims to nurture the next generation of sorcerers, hoping they become as strong as him and can cleanse the corrupt Jujutsu society.
