Satoru Gojo’s bright and bold personality may be a bit too much for some Jujutsu Kaisen fans to handle. The grown man embraces the playful disposition of a child despite being primarily responsible for staving off a cursed spirit apocalypse.
Gojo’s cursed techniques combine to cement the oldest member of the Gojo family as the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer, but he does have other strengths and skills outside of limitless and the six eyes. The series is far from over, and yet, he’s already proven to be a character who can achieve a variety of great things, even without the powers of his cursed techniques.
10 At Any Time, Gojo Can Tap Into His Family’s Immense Fortune
Satoru Gojo is the most powerful jujutsu sorcerer for a reason. His cursed technique comes from one of the three most powerful jujutsu families in the world. Even without his inherited techniques, Gojo still has access to all the resources that his Gojo ancestors collected during their peak. This collection includes a boatload of money, powerful cursed items, and a knowledge of cursed energy that few other people possess.
9 Gojo Has Demonstrated Impressive Hand-To-Hand Combat Skills
Yuji is a good example to look at for fans trying to make sense of a Gojo without cursed techniques. Despite the fact that Sukuna is living inside Yuji”s body, the young Jujutsu Kaisen protagonist has no innate cursed techniques to utilize in combat. To make up for this weakness, Yuji pushes himself physically so that he can rely on his hand-to-hand combat skills against other sorcerers.
Gojo might not lack cursed techniques like Yuji does, but that hasn’t stopped him from showing off some impressive hand-to-hand combat. Though this type of combat is frowned upon in the world of jujutsu sorcery, much like Yuji, Gojo demonstrates some adept footwork and combat prowess when properly motivated.
8 Like Any Sorcerer, Satoru Gojo Can Create Barriers Without His Cursed Techniques
Barrier techniques are one type of cursed energy technique that does not require an innate ability to enact. That means Gojo could have learned to raise barriers even without his cursed techniques. His domain expansion is something else entirely though. Without an understanding of his limitless technique, the infinite void would be nothing more than a shell.
7 Even Without A Cursed Technique, Satoru Can Always Lean On Cursed Weapons Like Maki Zenin
On top of mastering hand-to-hand combat, it is fair to assume that Gojo has also mastered the use of weapons in combat. When faced with a special grade jujutsu sorcerer who was unable to hone his cursed energy, Gojo directs Okatsu toward mastering a katana before mastering his flow of cursed energy.
Furthermore, Gojo has access to some powerful cursed weapons as the head of the Gojo family. Even if he wasn’t trained with these weapons, they carry enough cursed energy to pack a punch on their own.
6 Satoru’s Smile Is Plenty Enough To Win The Hearts Of Anime Fans
Anime fans are ready to love any anime that lives up to the standards of the anime they grew up with. Unfortunately, this means modern anime series have to match the caliber of content that Naruto, Bleach, Dragon Ball, and One Piece were putting out 10 to 20 years ago, which is no easy feat.
Fortunately, Jujutsu Kaisen does this by introducing characters like Yuji, Nobara, and Gojo who are so easy to love that fans will have a harder time coming up with things to hate about JJK than accepting it into their anime bubble. Satoru Gojo, in particular, has won the hearts of many fans with his charm and smile.
5 Satoru’s Sense Of Humor Flows Freely Regardless Of His Cursed Techniques
Gojo’s confidence very clearly stems from his privileged position as the strongest jujutsu sorcerer, but the manga proves that Gojo’s sense of humor was developed long before he could claim to be the strongest. Even after Gojo is trapped in the Shibuya Incident Arc he is able to crack a joke at his own expense. It takes a special kind of person to maintain their sense of humor and confidence even after being rendered powerless.
4 Despite Satoru’s Immense Power, He Still Plans For A Peaceful Future
After Yuji passes in episode 5 of the Jujutsu Kaisen anime, Satoru Gojo explains why he chose teaching as a profession. While resorting to violence against the elders who stand in the way of a better world is always an option thanks to Gojo’s powerful cursed techniques, he chooses a more peaceful path instead.
By teaching, Gojo can usher in a new era of jujutsu sorcery without ever having to lay a finger on the higher-ups. Considering his immense strength, it’s a good thing that Gojo had the moral capacity to come to this conclusion over a more violent one.
3 Satoru’s Personality Is Enough To Pull In Powerful New Sorcerers To His Cause
Gojo has a knack for recruiting powerful young jujutsu sorcerers despite the fact that he is very clearly using them for his own selfish goals. Just looking at the way he looks down on Megumi while recruiting the young man makes it clear that Gojo has no experience working with children.
Still, his playful banter and boyish charm work wonders in terms of recruitment. Thanks to Satoru’s consideration, he was able to recruit four of the most powerful jujutsu sorcerers in the world to join him at Tokyo Jujutsu High
2 Satoru Doesn’t Need A Cursed Technique To Talk Down To His Elders
It does not take a vacuum of power to incite disrespect, but it is much easier to toy with someone if they are too weak to fight back. Still, Gojo is the type of person that would toy with others who held different beliefs than he did even if he were not the most powerful jujutsu sorcerer.
Of course, just because Gojo could speak disrespectfully to his elders doesn’t mean he should, especially if he ever found himself without his cursed techniques. Without the six eyes and limitless techniques, Gojo would have been ousted from the world of jujutsu sorcery before he ever had the chance to meet Yuji or Megumi.
1 Even Without A Cursed Technique, A Jujutsu Sorcerer Should Be Able To Trace Cursed Energy Residuals
Tracking the residual cursed energy left by a jujutsu sorcerer or cursed spirit is a skill that even Yuji has picked up since joining Satoru Gojo at Tokyo Jujutsu High. While it may be fair to assume that the six eyes and limitless techniques buff Satoru’s ability to pick up on cursed energy residuals, Yuji proves that they are not necessary.
