Gojo Satoru is one of the supporting characters from Jujutsu Kaisen. He is a teacher at Tokyo Jujutsu High where he nurtures and protects prominent Jujutsu Sorcerers from the influence of the conservative Jujutsu Society executives.
What is Gojo’s power, you ask? Well, he has a handful. Let’s talk about them one by one.
What is Gojo’s Power?
Gojo is introduced as the strongest character from Jujutsu Kaisen. With all the fighting scenes the stories have shown so far, Gojo is without a doubt, the strongest jujutsu sorcerer. The sheer destructiveness of his Jujutsu Technique compared to other Jujutsu Sorcerers is like heaven and earth. His strength made it so that he can do anything he pleases. Even the Jujutsu Sorcerer Society can just grit their teeth when Gojo demanded the cancellation of the execution of Yuta Okkotsu (Special Grade Sorcerer) and Yuji Itadori (Sukuna’s Vessel) and threatens them that he could overthrow the entire society and kill them all had he wishes to.
Gojo’s Cursed Energy
In terms of the amount of Cursed Energy, Gojo doesn’t have a vast amount of it like one would expect from the strongest. Yuta Okkotsu, his Special Grade Sorcerer student and a distant relative, has a far greater amount of Cursed Energy than him. This makes Special Grade Cursed Spirit like Jogo or anyone who has not seen him fight yet and his Cursed Techniques belittle him thinking that the infamous strongest is just an overstatement.
Gojo’s Powers: Limitless
Limitless is a hereditary technique passed down through generations within the Gojo Family. This Jujutsu Technique brings forth the concept of “Infinity” into reality. This allows the user to distort and manipulate space at will.
Gojo’s Powers: Infinity
Infinity is the neutral form of Gojo’s Limitless Technique. This technique made Gojo Satoru untouchable. The common misconception about this technique is that Infinity creates an invisible tangible shield that protects Gojo. In the Assault episode, Jogo claims that he felt his attacks land on Gojo’s body so he was in disbelief when he saw Gojo unscathed.
Infinity is a technique that slows down anything that approaches Gojo. The concept behind this technique is simple. Gojo can manifest the Infinity around him. The infinity will then bend the space where it is manifested creating an infinite space within a few inches of space for those approaching it. This results in the approaching object slowing down.
Gojo’s Infinity: Before
Before, Gojo Satoru had to activate Infinity manually. This means that it is turned off most of the time to not strain Gojo and he has to perceive the danger first before deciding whether to activate it or not. This creates a good opportunity for the enemy to approach him before he activates the Infinity. After learning the Reversed Cursed Energy, Gojo pushed his Infinity to another level wherein it is now activated automatically and sorted out what kind of stuff it would block and not. This of course results in more mental strain for Gojo but he makes up for it by constantly applying Reversed Cursed Energy to his brain.
Gojo’s Infinity: Now
Now, Gojo can spread Infinity out to a few feet away from him and even shield himself from other forms of attack like heat. In his fight against Jogo, Gojo nonchalantly blocked all of Jogo’s powerful Cursed Technique (attacks in the form of physical, heat, sound, and explosions) with just his Infinity. Infinity can also be extended to another person. In Jogo’s Domain Expansion, normal Jujutsu Sorcerers should have been burnt the moment they were caught in the technique but Gojo and Itadori are still fine. Even though Itadori is Sukuna’s Vessel, he is still susceptible to such attacks since he is still an ordinary Jujutsu Sorcerer (Grade 4) during that time.
Gojo’s Powers: Six Eyes
Six Eyes is a rare ocular Jujutsu Technique inherent to the Gojo Family. It is so rare that there should be just one user born with it per generation. It gives the user the ability to see Cursed Energy in fine detail which lets Gojo perceive his surroundings even when blindfolded. This also boosts the vision of the user.
Six Eyes optimizes the use of Cursed Energy by the user. According to Yuta Okkotsu, Six Eyes let Gojo use Cursed Energy infinitesimally close to zero. This means that he pretty much doesn’t run out of Cursed Energy. This lets Gojo use a lot of sophisticated and overpowered Cursed Technique that would normally require a lot of Cursed Energy. This also supports Gojo in his constant consumption of Cursed Energy to keep the Infinity automatic and in multiplying two Cursed Energy to create Reversed Cursed Energy to keep his brain fresh.
Gojo’s Powers: Cursed Techniques
Gojo’s title of being the strongest isn’t just for a show. He has a variety of powerful Jujutsu Techniques in his arsenal that are in another league with others. He was born gifted with Limitless which let him manipulate space at will and Six Eyes which has a great synergy to his Limitless, unlocking stronger Jujutsu Techniques.
Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue
Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue is an attractive force or a vacuum brought forth by Gojo’s Cursed Energy. Cursed Energy, by nature, is negative energy. When Gojo uses his Cursed Energy to manifest the infinity, the infinity itself becomes negative thus converting the concept of positive distance to “negative distance” creating a vacuum. The vacuum will attract surrounding objects to fill in the gap of the lost space.
Gojo Satoru first uses this Cursed Technique to help Mei Mei and Utahime when they are trapped inside the house that is home to a Cursed Spirit capable of manipulating space to create an endless hallway.
Cursed Technique Lapse – Maximum Energy Output: Blue
Cursed Technique Lapse – Maximum Energy Output: Blue is the Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue’s most supreme art. It is the same attractive force or vacuum but with a larger area of effect and more destructive power. Maximum techniques
The most effective way to deal with opponents with extreme agility is to destroy the surroundings. Gojo used this technique against Tojo Zenin as a countermeasure to his immense speed.
Cursed Technique Reversal: Red
Cursed Technique Reversal: Red is a technique that creates a repulsive force against the opponent. Gojo tried to use it against the unnamed assailant with the cloning jujutsu technique but ultimately failed because he lacks an understanding of the principle behind it.
Cursed Energy is negative energy by nature. And multiplying two negative Cursed Energy together can create positive energy. Using this positive energy to manifest the technique, the attractive force is reversed into a repulsive force giving birth to the technique.
Gojo, on the brink of death, realizes the concept of reversing the negative cursed energy into positive energy ultimately makes him capable of the Cursed Technique Reversal: Red. Cursed technique reversal outputs at least twice as much energy as cursed technique lapse.
Hollow Technique: Purple
Hollow Technique: Purple is a combination of techniques Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue (force of attraction) and Cursed Technique Reversal: Red (force of repulsion). Combining these two techniques creates a round purple force that leaves destruction in its path. The Red and Blue is a well-known technique that even outsiders know of but unlike the two, the Purple is known to only a few people within the Gojo Family.
According to Gojo, when infinity collides with forwarding and reversed rotation, the expulsion of imaginary mass is born. It requires precise manipulation of Cursed Energy and Reverse Cursed Energy at the same time. The amount of Cursed Energy should be equal to avoid one force, (attraction and repulsion) overwhelming the other. This results in removing the mass of the object it hit shredding and erasing everything in its path.
When did Gojo first use Cursed Techniques?
In chronological order, Gojo Satoru first used this technique back when he was still a student at Tokyo Jujutsu High against Toji Fushiguro. He was able to beat Toji Fushiguro by surprise since no one knows outside the Gojo Family the existence of this devastating Jujutsu Technique. When Gojo used it against Hanami during the Kyoto Goodwill Event Arc, this Jujutsu Technique created a few kilometers long and deep fissure reflecting how Gojo improves his Jujutsu Techniques.
Gojo’s Powers: Hand-to-hand Combat
Many would think that Gojo is the strongest because he is born with special eyes and powerful Jujutsu Techniques and he would be nothing without those. But that isn’t the case because Gojo Satoru has proven us otherwise. He was also a master hand-to-hand combatant. During the Shibuya Incident, Gojo is placed in a very disadvantageous situation. He has to fight three Special Grade Cursed Spirits that cooperate in a closed space with a lot of humans.
Activating his Domain Expansion can easily end the battle but by doing so, innocent people will be either caught within it or will be squeezed to death between the Unlimited Void and the veil. This forces Gojo to fight with just his Cursed Energy since his Infinity can also be nullified using Domain Amplification. But even with two-versus-one scenarios (one Cursed Spirit is not actively participating) Gojo still manages to overwhelm them and even kills one before being sealed.
Gojo’s Powers: Domain Expansion – Unlimited Void
Domain Expansion is the peak of Jujutsu Sorcery and the ultimate form of Jujutsu Techniques. Gojo’s Domain Expansion is called the Unlimited Void. Gojo’s Unlimited Void is so fatal that an ordinary person would need two months of rehabilitation to go back to normal after being exposed in just 0.2 seconds. Upon casting, the opponent is injected with a great amount of knowledge in a small amount of time rendering them incapable of moving. The victim will feel and see everything and nothing at the same time rendering them unable to move.
His Domain Expansion looks like a black hole that looks like an eye at the same time amidst the void. Gojo’s authority is absolute within this space. The enemy is overwhelmed by the information that they’re unable to move and even after realizing what had happened, they can’t still move. Unlimited Void is so powerful that even the Special Grade Cursed Spirit is sure of their loss in the battle of Domains against Gojo.
