Jujutsu Kaisen has captured the hearts of fans worldwide, with Satoru Gojo standing out as one of the series’ most iconic characters. Recently, Gege Akutami, the creator of the series, participated in a comprehensive Q&A session with Shueisha, where he revealed the unexpected origin of Gojo’s famous sunglasses.

The Unexpected Backstory Behind Gojo’s Signature Sunglasses

During the Q&A, fans eagerly questioned Akutami about the origins of Gojo’s sunglasses, a significant element of his character design. Akutami explained that the shades were not just a stylish accessory but had a practical purpose from the beginning. He shared that Gojo began wearing sunglasses in middle school to help manage the overwhelming input from his Six Eyes.

“He had sunglasses on to prevent seeing too much with his Six Eyes, so it’s natural for him to wear them before high school. I hate imagining middle school Gojo with sunglasses, so let’s not go there,” Akutami commented.

Gojo’s Six Eyes and the Role of His Sunglasses

Gojo Satoru is a member of the prestigious Gojo clan and was born with the rare Six Eyes, a powerful ability that grants him enhanced perception and the ability to track cursed energy. This power allows him to use his Limitless technique to its fullest potential, but it comes with drawbacks. The Six Eyes give Gojo the ability to see things from kilometers away, similar to a high-definition infrared camera, which can cause severe headaches.

To mitigate this overwhelming sensory input, Gojo relies on his sunglasses, which he continues to wear even during the night. The glasses help block out excess stimuli, making them an essential part of his everyday attire.

Gojo’s Complex Character and His Power

Gojo Satoru is known not only for his signature shades but also for his complex personality and overwhelming strength. While he appears nonchalant and playful with his students and close colleagues, he is often cruel and dismissive towards sorcerer executives and enemies, as seen in his interactions with Principal Gakuganji.

Gojo’s confidence in his abilities is unmatched, as he considers himself nearly invincible. He assesses others primarily based on their strength, showing little concern for those he deems weaker.

Gojo’s physical prowess is another defining aspect of his character. He can easily handle powerful curses, as demonstrated in his brutal battles where he inflicted severe injuries on opponents like Jogo and Hanami. He has even dismembered transfigured humans without hesitation.

Gojo’s combat speed is equally remarkable. He moves faster than the eye can perceive, outpacing even formidable opponents like Toji Fushiguro. In his duel with Sukuna, Gojo’s superior speed allowed him to repeatedly force Sukuna into defense, showcasing his unparalleled agility.
