One of the manga’s main characters is Gojo Satoru. He is introduced in the first manga chapter as well as the first anime episode and goes on to act as a mentor to the students throughout the story. He is recognized as the most powerful Sorcerer in the world and with his immense powers and skills, he is feared by everyone. While most fans know the basic stuff about him, there are things only a handful of fans will know.

Updated on November 1, 2024, by Rei Penber: Gojo Satoru is one of the most important characters in JJK, and arguably the most popular character that fans have seen in the story. Known to be the strongest modern sorcerer, Gojo has received his fair share of focus, and that is especially true in the latest arc, Shinjuku Showdown, where he finally ended up fighting against Sukuna. While this list already goes over some of the most interesting facts and trivia about the King of Curses, there are other things, especially those related to Gojo’s fighting prowess, that have now been revealed to the fans. As such, this list has now been updated.

18 High-Level Barrier User

Gojo Can Use And Manipulate Barriers

When it comes to Barrier Techniques, Gojo is absolutely incredible. Gojo can manifest incredibly versatile barriers, and he can also change the rules of his barriers at a level that is beyond human comprehension. During Gojo’s fight against Sukuna, he kept changing the rule of his domain at a rate at which even the spectators, including the likes of Yuta, could not tell what exactly he was doing and how he was doing it.

This was a spectacular display of utilizing barrier techniques at the peak of their abilities, and that is something that Gojo has mastered over the years. This just goes to show how skilled he is with Barrier Techniques, and likely the best alongside Sukuna, when it comes to utilizing this art.

17 Reason To Become A Teacher

Gojo Aimed To Change The World

Gojo was once quite a careless individual who did not particularly care about the weak and the downtrodden. Although one can argue that Gojo is still quite callous, his way of thinking certainly changed after Hidden Inventory.

When Gojo saw Riko die, he knew the system that he was fighting against was corrupt. Eventually, Gojo decided to change the world himself. While he could have killed the higher-ups all by himself, Gojo deemed that it was not sustainable. According to him, the best option would be to become a teacher and raise the next generation of students, which would then help him change the world.

16 Incredible Reverse Cursed Technique

Gojo Possesses High-level RCT

Gojo is one of the most incredible users of reverse cursed technique. It can be said that, in some ways, he’s the best user of reverse cursed technique that the fans have seen in the story. Gojo can use this power to heal at an incredibly fast rate. In fact, Gojo can heal from nearly anything. He healed from a near-death state in his fight against Toji when he was quite young, and in the battle against Sukuna, he was even able to heal from Malevolent Shrine multiple times.

In fact, Gojo was able to heal at the same time as he was being inundated by powerful slashes, which just goes to show his instantaneous regeneration rate. If that wasn’t enough, Gojo can also refill his burnt-out cursed technique, which is something that even experts of reverse cursed technique like Sukuna did not know how to do at first.

15 User Of Black Flash

Gojo Has Hit Many Black Flashed

Gojo is certainly at the pinnacle of jujutsu sorcery and, along with Sukuna, he has displayed incredible fighting prowess. Of course, any sorcerer worth their salt has utilized black flashes every once in a while. Fans have seen quite a lot of powerful black flashes being utilized over the years, and the ones Gojo used in the Shinjuku Showdown arc were certainly up there with the best.

In fact, Gojo actually managed to do four black flashes during this fight against Sukuna. This just goes to show how incredible his control over cursed energy is. Of course, no sorcerers can hit black flashes that will, but, still, hitting them four times in a single fight is absolutely amazing.

14 User Of Anti Domain Techniques

Gojo Has Many Anti-Domain Techniques

While Gojo has quite a lot of powerful abilities that he gets a lot of credit for, such as his Limitless ability, along with his heightened reverse cursed technique, one power that often goes under the radar is his amazing usage of anti-domain techniques. Gojo is quite skilled when it comes to anti-domain techniques, and he has mastered the usage of a simple domain, and also the Falling Blossom Emotion Technique.

Both of these are effective in countering a Domain Expansion, as fans have seen on multiple occasions in the story. The fact is that Gojo’s a more versatile fighter because of cursed techniques and domain clashes are not the only way he can emerge as a winner out of a domain battle. Being a master of anti-domain techniques as well just goes to show that Gojo is a master of many arts and quite easily one of the most versatile sorcerers that fans have seen in the entire series.

13 Special Grade Sorcerer

In the Jujutsu Kaisen world, both Sorcerers and Curses are assigned grades based on their abilities and overall power. The lower the number, the higher the grade, so a Grade 1 sorcerer is more powerful than a Grade 3 one.

There exists a special grade however, this special grade signifies that the Sorcerer is even above the rank of Grade 1 – so powerful they need a whole different classification, and Gojo is one of only a few known to hold this grade.

12 The Limitless Technique

This iconic technique is actually inherited from his family, the Gojo Family. It is a technique that allows its users to manipulate and distort space. Limitless is based upon the concept that anything divided will never really reach zero, no matter how many times it gets divided, and will instead become a smaller and smaller number.

This reflects in how attacks get close to Gojo but always seemingly stop. This is because even though they are so close, they are still stuck in infinity.

11 Near Unlimited Cursed Energy

Gojo is one of the very best users of Cursed Energy in the story. In fact, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that he is the very best user of cursed energy in the Jujutsu Kaisen. Gojo is believed to have immeasurable amounts of cursed energy. While these cursed energy reserves are not the highest, given that the likes of Yuta and Sukuna definitely have more cursed energy than him, he is known to be the best user of it in the sense that his efficiency at using cursed energy is incredibly high.

This is believed to be connected to the Six Eyes that he possesses. Thanks to them, Gojo uses so little cursed energy that he can easily recover more than he actually ends up using. This means he is the best user of cursed energy and that he can, technically, never run out of it, even though he does not possess the most amounts of it. This has been confirmed by Yuta himself.

10 Shifted The World

Gojo is a generational talent in the Jujutsu world. It is believed that when Gojo was born, the world itself shifted. This means Gojo was so strong that he alone could tilt the balance of the entire planet. Gojo was the first person in 400 years to be born with both the Six Eyes and the Limitless at the same time. This makes him an incredible threat to nearly anyone in the entire story.

This also goes to show why Gojo is so special and why he is as strong as he is. Even a simple glance from him is enough to send shivers down the spine of those who wish him harm and fans have seen that on various occasions throughout the story.

9 Can Spam Domain Expansion

Domain Expansion is the ultimate art of Jujutsu Sorcery that not many fighters in the universe have mastered. Domain Expansion grants a sure-hit attack that can be delivered inside a domain that the user creates and then imbued with their cursed technique. As fans might know already, Gojo’s Domain Expansion is known as Unlimited Void.

Most domain expansion users can use it simply once a day and the energy required to pull off such an intricate technique is so great that they end up running out of it shortly afterwards. However, Gojo can effectively spam Domain Expansion many times. In his fight against Sukuna, he managed to utilize Unlimited Void at least five times. He could use it even more times if he saw fit, however, he had run out of the ability to use Reverse Cursed Technique, which meant that he could not replenish his burnt-out Cursed Technique. Essentially, as long as Gojo has his RCT, he can use Domain Expansion infinitely, which makes him the scariest sorcerative of all time.

8 Can Replenish Burnt Out Cursed Technique

One of the scariest abilities that Gojo possesses is the power to replenish the burnt-out cursed technique. This shows unprecedented control over reverse cursed technique that not even the likes of Yuta could use. In fact, even Sukuna did not know this ability existed when he first saw it being utilized by Gojo, which suggests that his mastery over this skill was at a higher level.

Essentially, Gojo can use reverse cursed technique to refill his exhausted cursed technique. This is, simply put, like a hack. It gives Gojo access to near-unlimited cursed energy as he can simply keep on refilling his tank and spamming his techniques again and again. Of course, Gojo cannot keep on using reverse cursed technique forever. For instance, in his fight against Sukuna, he hurt his own brain while trying to replenish his cursed technique after using Unlimited Void too many times. However, shortly after he managed to land a bunch of Black Flashes on Sukuna, his RCT output was refilled and this meant that he could once again replenish his burnt out cursed technique multiple times before running out again. Simply put, Gojo’s RCT makes him invincible.

7 Sweet Tooth

Satoru Gojo used to be less interested in sweets until he began eating them to stimulate his brain. After that, he developed a sweet tooth and an undeniable love for candy and anything sweet.

He is often seen dedicating some of his time to appreciate and consume sweet food, such as cakes or ice creams. It’s not exactly clear what he was trying to attempt by stimulating his brain.

6 A Digimon Fan

Digimon is short for Digital Monsters, and is a very famous Japanese franchise that is composed of media such as anime, manga, video games, movies, trading cards, and toys.

It is very popular and it is said that Satoru Gojo was a fan of the franchise when he was younger, especially in high-school. To add to that, both his Japanese and English voice actors have voiced Digimon characters. Even Kaiji Tang said as much on his Twitter account.

5 Six Eyes

The Six Eyes is an extremely rare ability that can be inherited within the Gojo Family. Inheriting it is only to use the Limitless technique to its absolute fullest potential, as it grants its holder unrivaled perception.

Satoru Gojo is the only person in around 400 years to inherit both the Limitless ability and the Six Eyes at the same time, making him a one-of-a-kind Sorcerer with extraordinary power.

4 Relationship To Masamichi Yaga

Masamichi Yaga is a powerful Sorcerer ranked as a Grade 1 Sorcerer and a former teacher for the second-year students at Tokyo Jujutsu High. He went on to become the school’s principal and created Panda, a powerful Sorcerer in his own regard.

Most interestingly, Yaga then acted as a mentor to a younger Satoru Gojo and helped him evolve and advance, despite Gojo already having immense potential and pre-dispositions such as his Limitless technique and the Six Eyes.

3 Name Meaning

Satoru Gojo’s name, ‘Satoru,’ is a Japanese name given to boys and it holds a lot of meaning. It comes from the Japanese verb ‘to understand’ or ‘to know.’

The name can be interpreted differently based on the used Kanji characters. An interesting one is ‘to attain higher perception’ which would reflect his ability of the Six Eyes, which allows him to have superhuman perception and use his powers to the fullest.

2 His Theme Music

Gege Akutami, the author of Jujutsu Kaisen, has come out and said that he/she believes that Gojo Satoru’s theme songs would be ‘Mada Minu Asu Ni’ by Asian Kung Fu Generation, which was released in 2008, but also “Shame on Me” by Avicii in 2013. These songs are supposed to reflect Gojo’s character and personality.

1 His Popularity

Satoru Gojo is one of the first characters the readers and watchers are introduced to, being presented in the first chapter and episode of the manga and anime respectively. Ever since then, his power, personality, and looks have captivated everyone and given him a strong and loyal fan base.

He is so popular he ended up as the 3rd most popular Jujutsu Kaisen character, as voted by the fans during the manga’s first popularity poll, with an impressive 16,923 votes count.
