The Appeal of Satoru Gojo

Throughout the current landscape of manga and anime, Jujutsu Kaisen has without question made itself a force to be reckoned with. From it's great fight sequences, excellent execution of darker themes and fast but well paced story, it without a doubt deserves the popularity that its amassed over the years. Though, in my opinion, one of the series most compelling aspects is it's great set of characters, and within that cast lies the unofficial poster boy for the series and arguably the most popular character, Satoru Gojo. Today, I'll be discussing the Honored One himself and why I find him to be such an appealing character.
As always, my opinion is subjective, so if you disagree or have a different take, your opinion is totally justified.
Hope you enjoy.

Gojo feels like hes the MC and the story is being told from the perspective of those around him. Everything about the story hinges on Gojo. Is based around Gojo and needs Gojo.

[@rumi1970dg]

I think Gojo being the mentor is the most important part of his character that gets forgotten sometimes. Gojo himself is kinda stuck, he's the strongest, always has been always will be, but he has no reason to live outside of keeping the status quo. The whole reason the bad guys are so hung up on getting rid of him is because he's so strong and they can't change the world with him in the way. He knows he can't really change anything so he becomes a teacher, which he sucks at, to try to raise a generation that can make some actual change.

I love Gojo because despite his outward appeal of cocky and stupidly overpowered, he actually has a lot doubts about himself and his ability to stand up to the challenge of being a pillar of Jujutsu world that holds everything in check. He also is very supportive towards weaker than him, despite not actually needing this kind of approach because with his power he could easily behave like Sukuna does, but instead he chooses much more dangerous and tough path of being a teacher who builds up people around him, instead of being a calamity that destroys everything on its path like Sukuna does.

[@Bunny11344]

Funny enough as strong as he is I actually always saw him more human than anyone else. All the silliness adds realness to his character. Him drawing penis note to annoy with Nanami is something I would do (or did when I was younger). Prob why I like him so much is his personality.

Nothing honorable about sukuna

[@rinseyong5202]

[Manga Spoilers below] In some ways, I think his appeal and charisma are so overwhelming that it blinds a lot of people as to what the actual intent of Gojo's character arc is, as a storytelling device. The characters in jjk are vessels to convey a particular theme or concept as much as they are fully fleshed out and believable personalities. It's what makes them so good, and I think you miss out on a lot by ignoring one in favor of the other. The fact that so many people got angry about his death chapter and called it a character assassination is telling. It was particularly the assertion that his primary motivation is strength, as opposed to mentorship, his dream, or anything like that. It was also him using a metaphor of caring for plants to talk about his students because there was a line between him and everyone else "as living organisms" that bristled a lot of people because of how much that implied he's been looking down on everyone all this time. But being a mentor or an agent for societal change has never been what Gojo's character has really been about. Gojo is conceptually about what it is like to be the strongest man in existence. Like he said, it's not that he doesn't care about his students. But he sees them, and everyone "below" him, as being inherently incapable of empathizing with him. And he's wrong. Gojo has a God complex. It seems people don't want to acknowledge this, or at least use those words outright, because again, his appeal makes a lot of people project what they want to see, so even his flaws get glossed over to be easier to stomach. Like yes, he was a lonely child who was unable to make real connections because people only saw him as a weapon, but focusing only on that leaves out the reasons for his isolation that are entirely his own fault. Being "the strongest" is extremely destructive to Gojo's sense of self, but Gojo still clings to it to the very end. His fight with Sukuna was the culmination of his ongoing identity crisis over the course of the series. The question that Geto asked him before he left, which was essentially, "Is power all that you are?" is one that he hasn't been able to answer, and has been actively running from. In fact, he misunderstood the reason Geto left in the first place. What he thinks is implied from what he said to Megumi -- that Geto left because he could no longer keep up with him. Gojo revels in his own power. It is the cornerstone of his worldview. He lives for it, and it's all that he has, because he thinks (wrongly) that it is mutually exclusive with making connections with other people who aren't on his level. Shoko even mentally berates Gojo for this when she says, "What do you mean, alone? I've been here all this time". After Geto defected, Gojo and Shoko were the only ones in their year left. He could've confided in her. But it's clear now that he probably didn't even try. He is like this for some reasons that aren't his fault and for some reasons that are. He was spoiled by his clan and literally told from birth that he was Built Different. Almost everyone he's ever met treated him like it too. But at one point he had an identity outside of being "the Strongest", and that's when he was Geto's friend. Then, after the trauma that Toji inflicted on him, he never let his guard down again. He became so inhuman that he isolated his best friend. Even so, he still chooses to be like this a full decade later. Gojo's agency in his own tragedy is the thing that makes him the most interesting and appealing to me. His belief that power makes him categorically different is affirmed by his technique. I really like Kenjaku's quote that "each technique is its own world-view", and how it applies to Gojo & Geto especially. Gojo's power means that he cannot rely on anyone. Those weaker than him only get in the way when he's fighting. The infinite space between himself and others is what makes him nigh unbeatable. All this translates to strength and solitude being one and the same. So of course it's what Gojo believes. But it's been shown on quite a few occasions now that Infinity can be breached. His technique doesn't make him a different species -- he is still human, and he dies in an incredibly visceral and human way to an attack that ignores his infinity altogether, as if it was just illusory. But because he is human, that means that he should have been capable of forming connections if he allowed himself to be vulnerable -- if he dropped infinity for long enough to let people in. But in the end he failed both at being the strongest and at making connections. He fought only for the sake of satisfying himself, but deep down, he was unsatisfied.

[@kalanielibrenoklinke9440]

I think that him being revived actually would tie a nice bow to that interpretation. In the sense that I think it's more interesting for Gojo to finally define himself outside of his power, than to leave that unanswered, I don't want him to beat Sukuna, I just want a proper conclusion to Geto's question to him

[@rinseyong5202]

@@kalanielibrenoklinke9440 I agree!! What I've really wanted out of Gojo's character this whole time was for him to be forced to contend with his weakness while he was still alive. I still have my doubts as to whether that will happen since Gege has not been one to deviate from his greek tragedy-esque method of writing character endings... People rarely get a second chance to fix their mistakes in jjk. Usually fatal flaws live up to their name. But I don't necessarily think him getting revived would be forced or cheap. One can always hope.

[@anthonybrito2610]

I interpret the flower thing as him being misunderstood by everyone but being looked in awe. All his actions have shown that he does care & he himself even had doubt during the Sukuna fight in losing and can acknowledge when something is troublesome or has potential, even lifting his students up and telling others that soon they’ll rise up and one day eventually surpassing him. Gojo seems to be very empathetic & tries to cheer everyone on but deep inside seems to be crumbling like when he had to off Geto but was being cheery for Yuta. Straining himself for Riko but putting on a facade he was fine & being pissed abt yuji dying

[@rinseyong5202]

@@anthonybrito2610 He does put on a facade, and it's because he thinks others aren't capable of understanding him. He cares deeply about his students, but he doesn't fully grasp the struggles they face on the path to getting strong, like how he can't teach simple concepts because of how naturally they come to him. He only sees the flowers, not the mud they grow from. Conversely, he also hasn't processed his own trauma that led to him shutting out the world (which in his mind is synonymous with strength). Gojo is kinda fucked in the head and that's why I love him ❤️

[@p1p1pupu]

Oh my god this was beautiful, an amazing character analysis Although im curious about your perspective on his goofy and aloof persona around the students and how that plays a part in his characterization and role in the story. Bc it seems so at odds with this densely complex and flawed man that we ultimately got. Bc some people just like him he’s an all powerful haha funny sassyman yknow? A lot of people say it’s a front or something along those lines, but I wanna hear your take

[@navyasingh3172]

I think the one thing about gojo that makes him really appealing in my eyes is that even though gojo has all the power in the world and is canonically blessed through the entire series, he has never won where it matters. he could do everything right but the odds where never in his favour and that makes his overpowered character so realistic and within reach

[@Bruh-kz1ph]

i think the thing that really makes him stand out is his humanity. he is the strongest but he has weaknesses not linked to him beings the strongest. geto? the most important person for him, one of his weaknesses, and is not something that can overpower him, but he surely can be used against him in the worst ways, because gojo is genuinely an human being who feels affection and can't deny it. what makes him really interesting is this human part of him, where he's not the strongest and he makes dumb choices because he decides to allow himself to act with his heart, always resulting in this being used against him.

​@@rushpatriot2866 he's literally one of the most multilayered characters out there. he has many flaws that balance out his strong qualities, he has both selfish and positive motives, he has power but can't save anyone which makes him tragic - it's a good complex character who is not black and white. because we have a lot of good guys who are pretty straightforward and simple. we have Sukuna who is a very basic villain in terms of motives because he just wants to fight, kill, and make everyone suffer (I hope Gege will give him a good backstory at least). thank god for Kenjaku, who's a more complicated villain, Geto who has a good downfall storyline and Tengen who's a grey character. out of all the "good" guys, i'd say Gojo is the most complicated. and his main role and goal in the story were to raise a stronger generation that would help each other out and be able to change the system.

Great vedio! Gojo is without a doubt one of my fav characters from recent anime. And whether you like him or not, you cannot deny he has become quite the iconic character, esp from among the new gen anime and took the anime community by storm. I read the manga only after watching S1 and he was already likeable from the get go but after reading the manga I just grew to love him. What I love about him most is his complexity. He comes across as perfect but he is not, he is flawed, he is humane. Then the burden that comes from the being the strongest and the loneliness he carries. Its easy to outlook all of it and mischaracterize him just as an arrogant, cocky op character (which many do as well) and see him only for his strength but there is just so much more to him than that. And that makes him well, quite appealing and interesting to say the least. (and yes i have read till the latest chp so those who wanna spoil can kindly keep that to themselves✌)

Another great video. I picked up the show and binged season one so I could watch season two while it was coming out. And it was awesome. Something you pointed out that really resonated with me was the fact that Gojo is so interesting to me is also because he is flawed. He has that edge to him and becomes as you said “a bloodthirsty animal” at times in battle and that just makes him so much more interesting.

[@thomb6829]

I think in a lot of ways Gojo captures the “superman” vibe of manga. He is this unstoppable force that by most measures is immeasurably strong, aside from Toji and Sukuna, weve never seen him struggle or really had any reason to doubt his status as the strongest and i think that is most of his appeal especially in comparison to current day American heroes

[@rushpatriot2866]

That's actually what he is. It's called the reconstituted Superman archetype characters like kenpachi and escanor are similar. It's a really new archetype such much so that the title isn't official. The issue with it is they attract the brain dead anime watchers or the little kids "he's so op and that's why he's my favorite my favorite is always the strongest and they never lose" real down syndrome type mentality. That's one of the many reasons why the gojo fans are so obnoxious the loudest are generally the dumbest,that's also why they were wrong about the outcome. Interesting how the psychology behind it works.

[@rercks1486]

Bro this is the first time I had to pause a video cause I was tearing up. I really didn’t know why I liked Gojo until you talked about his loneliness I’ve feel the same “lack of connection” my entire life and for one moment (almost 3 years) I had someone who I finally feel connected to (my ex girlfriend). In the last months she transitioned into becoming another person and she ended up cheating on me. Now I have seen her but it’s like, she looks the same in appearance but she’s a whole other person (Kenjaku-Geto) Now I’m actually surrounded by lots of friends but I am feeling this disconnection again… Even his dream is something like mine, I want to change society so I try to teach my values to my younger friends. I’ve never related to an anime character or any character in my life until this moment. And now I know why I like him. Thanks for this video.

[@semekiizuio]

"Good looking, charismatic, and overpowered" All right lets wrap this up 😂 But seriously the one thing I find admirable in his qualities is he doesnt let the negativity of his situation, the solitude and incomparable strength, stop him from pushing foward and making changes. He could have succumbed to power and control but he chose his own path. Edit: This did not age well... Gojo in his afterlife continued to care solely about power and strength. He did not change from his teenage years after Riko Toji and Geto death. Protecting the youth and changing sorcery was a lie, the real fraud.

[@mahogania5536]

I think what Nanami said in the afterlife is only half-truth, he's a decent judge of character when it comes to Gojo's flaws but not so much with his virtues, so he nailed it with the "battle junkie" but fumbled with the "doesn't care about anyone". Both are fundamentally different so it's no surprise this would happen I was also confused because I thought Nanami was a good judge of character in general, but then I remembered he has blatant blind spots

[@rahmatmanurung8133]

I think that's not a lie. Many weird symbolism in chp 236. His teen self. North and South. Mei Mei said those paths to Nanami? But Mei Mei did not die, so ... I think this is only in his dream, his smile is suspicious when sukuna complimented him. He destroyed Mahorga but in consequence he predicted he would get attacked by Sukuna. He did his own part first so Kashimo can continue the fight. I mean Mahoraga could adapt to any opponents technique so his possible "death" had impact. But I think we should see a few more chapters. Oh also there are a few of Lotus Flower. Symbol of Rebirth and Enlightment (like the name meaning of "Satoru"). I don't think it's coincident.

[@semekiizuio]

@@rahmatmanurung8133 Nanamin asked Mei Mei while he was alive deciding then but change it on the verge of death with Yu. He then shared his experience with Gojo after death. Im not sure that was a smile, i dont really see it just a change of angle and less blood Also the lotus was used to compare the gaps of strength between Gojo and people not about rebirth. If the lotus were used during Nanamins conversation I would understand but it wasn't.

[@semekiizuio]

@@mahogania5536 Unfortunately yeah you said it right. Nanamin pointed out his flaws and sympathized with Gojo but didnt mention any of his virtues as you said. That was sad and not good by Gege... he could have but chose not to add that mayhaps to sink in Gojo does have an awful personality or self, make us hate him like he does lol... but we know hes a complex character... Hopefully on the next chapters we ll get some form of Gojo saying his farewells to his students by leaving them behind his techniques and plans. A flashback would be nice showing what they planned or what Gojo said to Shoko and Ijichi... but Gege doesnt do flashbacks and Heian would be much more needed for lore. Idk hopefully make his fight be for not.

[@rahmatmanurung8133]

@@semekiizuio I meant before criticizing him to lie about all great stuff he said, probably we just should wait for more chapters, because all the symbolism have more than one interpretation to be applied later. It's like puzzle.

[@SoVidushi]

I like gojo so much because he has earned our respect. We know how much pressure he is under and how much power he holds yet he never lets it affect how he behaves towards others, he treats everyone with kindness and respect despite their weakness compared to him, he could be A LOT more conceited given who he is and that would still be well earned.

[@Ciel_Bleu4]

To think Gege just threw all that character development down the drain with so many things still left to explore.

[@BobbyZo43383]

*spoilers* I feel like gojo had a fleshed out and complete character arc. He was arrogant because he was the strongest, then he had a change of heart and mindset after Geto left the school. He focused on developing the next generation to make real change in jujutsu society while being a deterrent to curses and cursed users. Now that he’s dead, the next generation is primed to take over. Personally, I didn’t like how they killed him off, but I think it was time for him to go.

[@samaabood1730]

great analysis of Gojo's personality

[@rimimimimimimimim4170]

Genuinely I don't know if any character in anime has this much appeal. He gets the best fights, his personality is amazing and lovable, he has a really cool character design AND with all that, he is carefree and confident, charismatic. Such an amazing character and I 100% agree that the characters make the show. One Punch Man - one of the best shows ever without a doubt, carried by amazing characters like Saitama, Mumen Rider etc., everything the show has comes from that the best example is Great Teacher Onizuka. A good anime better than most but there's nothing really special to it, just only one really good character that the story does anything you can imagine around. Great video and I 100% agree, Gojo might have the best appeal in anime. The other characters are amazing too though in JJK, not only Gojo, but Itadori, Fushiguro, Nanami, Todo, just so many amazing, extremely well written and appealing characters, it deserves it's success. The animation is amazing but jjk goes so far beyond that. It's a show where everyone will have their favourites, because there is so many good characters, and Gojo, Itadori and Fushiguro are three characters that almost everyone will love and probably one of them will be their favourite. It's also amazing how every character is given everything, in a lot of shows characters other than the main character is neglected, but here how many times do we see every character, including characters like Maki and Nanami shine because they are always given that moment every time they are involved with the plot. Genuinely one of my favourite anime and it's just so good, deserves the love and it's amazing to see a good new shonen when a lot of the current ones are short or like demon slayer in the sense that they are boring or filled with generic characters, and carried by animation. Jujutsu Kaisen isn't nearly as predictable

[@Scarlet__23]

Without Gojo, there wouldn't be a new generation of the Jujutsu world. He is the plot, I don't think Jujutsu can end peacefully without him. And I see many people blame Gojo's death to the fact that it's for the "plot". And not because Gege hates him. What Plot? The Plot where Kenjaku wins? The Plot where Sukuna kills everyone? The villains win? If it's about that, then you're right. If you want the plot where the villains win then you really have to get rid of Gojo. But if it's about JJK having a Happy Ending.. You need Gojo for that.

[@MatthewBurns8]

I think you can see in the leaks, that Gojo and Sukuna are very alike, but went down different paths. Will be interesting if it ends in a way that doesn't like straight up murder Sukuna

[@Bebebebe22-]

I admire how you describe and try to prove on why gojo is appealing to readers. I wish I could read your commentary on a sheet of paper and study it, I suck at things like these.

Personally I think there's aspects I need to work on but I really do appreciate your kind words. Also, while you may think you're not great at something, never doubt yourself. As long as you work hard and consistently strive to better that skill or craft (whatever it may be), you're bound to eventually see improvement.

Part of why I love Gojo is that I could relate to his cockiness... when you share your worst trait with someone it helps you relate to them lol. In school I was always the best or close to the best in every subject despite never studying or even trying. So I felt that I could relate to a character who basically does the same but with Jujutsu. I felt that same confidence Gojo does and with it the same disrespect for many things. Everyone around me acting all serious about studying and all that and panicking about exams whereas I just showed up on the day like 'I got this' and outperformed all of them. That didn't carry into higher education so much though.

​@@restlessgambler8107gojo said his ass couldn't beat sukuna regardless. He said he wasn't the strongest and that he couldn't compete with sukuna. Sukuna and gojo couldn't relate because sukuna didn't need to go all out. The only reason he didn't get one shot is because of infinity without that pussies shield he's die admittedly. Jjk says sukuna is the strongest gojo says sukuna is the strongest gege says sukuna is the strongest and the community does as well. The only ones that don't agree are the fake jjk fans with their smooth brain coping and illiteracy 😂

[@rushpatriot2866]

It's canon that sukuna is the strongest there's a reason gojo was glazing after his bum ass got offscreened. "Sukuna is the strongest,I couldn't beat him even if he didn't have TS,sukuna didn't even go all out ,I couldn't relate to sukuna cause I wasn't strong enough.

What I like about Gojo is the perfect balance between him being useful to others and maintaining his own genuine self. His grand dream of rebuilding the corrupt jujutsu world solely revolves around the benefits of others, but he doesn't quite make his life all about them. Deep down he's a simple person who's just trying to have a good time and lives unapologetically without regrets.
