”
Questions and Answers about Satoru Gojo
- Where
is he from?
- Kyoto.
- Is
the main house of the Gojo clan also in Kyoto?
- Yes,
in Kyoto.
- Although
Gojo usually speaks in standard Japanese, does he sometimes use the local
dialect in his hometown?
- Not
likely. Either, when he was a child, he was taken on missions as part of
an “Elite Jujutsu Sorcerer Training” from the three great clans, or he
moved to Tokyo when he was little.
- Was
it Gojo's wish to go to the Tokyo Metropolitan Magic Technical College or
did his family tell him?
- It
was Gojo's wish, he was fed up with his domineering family.
- Are
Gojo's parents still alive? Are they high-ranking Jujutsu sorcerers?
- They
are alive. They have gained a higher status within the Gojo clan by giving
birth to Gojo Satoru, but are not particularly strong as Jujutsu
sorcerers, so they were separated from Gojo at a young age. (Because they
cannot be involved in your education as a Jujutsu sorcerer).
- Is
Gojo an only child?
- He
is an only child. Since he belongs to one of the three great clans, he has
many relatives, but because he was treated in a special way, it is likely
that he did not have normal interactions with his relatives.
- In
chapter 96, Ogami and the others saw a young Gojo walking around the city
alone. What was he doing in the middle of the city?
- He
ran away from home and was just wandering around.
- Before
going to Tokyo Metropolitan Magic Technical College , were you
completely removed from worldly culture and trends?
- Not
really, although his training as a Jujutsu sorcerer and his education as a
member of one of the three great clans were rigidly implemented, he often
jumped and ran away, so he had quite a bit of fun.
- Before
entering the Tokyo Metropolitan Magic Technical College , did
you go on missions? Also, did he have any experience fighting curses and
exorcising them?
- He
had a lot of experience.
- The
uniforms at Tokyo Metropolitan Magic Technical College can be
customized by each student, but what are Gojo's specific preferences?
- Gojo
has a pretty simple uniform and hasn't customized it much. Geto's uniform,
on the other hand, makes you wonder how he came up with the idea of
doing it like that.
- In
his high school days, Gojo had a gravure idol as his wallpaper. Did you
always have a gravure idol?
- He
eventually stopped using it because Ieiri found it creepy and probably
didn't care much about it anyway.
- Did
you live in the dorms in high school?
- Yeah.
- During
his high school days, his round glasses were his trademark, but did he
have them before entering Tokyo Metropolitan Magic Technical
College ?
- He
wore sunglasses to avoid seeing too much with his six eyes, so it's only
natural that he had them before high school, but I hate imagining Gojo in
high school wearing sunglasses, so let's not go there
- How
did his older colleagues see him? Did they have any interaction?
- Probably
not many. He is a member of one of the three great clans and is also just
a very strong subclass, so he was probably difficult to approach.
- Do
you have a mentor in Jujutsu?
- The
basics of Jujutsu were completed within the Gojo family, so he probably
had a mentor there. As for his technique, he had to work hard to account
for it based on the remaining records of it.
- How
much is Gojo's fee per mission? Also, what are your total personal assets?
- You
receive a monthly salary, so you do not receive your salary as a lump sum.
Mei Mei is an exception. As a special grade sorcerer, she probably earns a
salary comparable to that of a minister. Furthermore, as the head of the
Gojo family, she also has considerable assets from that. In any case, Gojo
is rich.
- Have
you ever thought about stopping being a Jujutsu sorcerer?
- Probably
not.
- Do
you ever imagine yourself not being a Jujutsu sorcerer?
- Probably
not, it would be a parasite or a swallow (man financially cared for by an
older woman).
- Does
Gojo have any complexes?
- Probably
not. If he had to say it, it would be not being able to stop Geto.
- When
a comrade dies, do you get emotional, like getting sad or angry?
- He
was angry when Itadori died, so I think so. But I also think there is a
part of him that has resigned himself to the death of his comrades. He
sees it from the perspective that anyone other than himself could die at
any moment.
- What
does Gojo enjoy most? When do you feel joy?
- I
can't really imagine it, but he's probably happy when he meets someone
with talent as a Jujutsu sorcerer.
- Does
Gojo speak any languages besides Japanese?
- You
can probably speak a little English.
- What
happens when you accidentally drink alcohol that you're not very good
with?
- He
disconnects instantly, but the real problem is that the output of his
Jujutsu technique begins to fail.
- Do
you have a license for a car or motorcycle? Does he drive himself
sometimes?
- Very
improbable. Even if you have one, you'd probably pass with just one test
and would only be a paper driver.
- Born
and raised in high society and recognized as the “strongest” by both
himself and others, he seems to have lived without many inconveniences.
What do you think is his weakness?
- Your
personality.
- What
do you think are Gojo Satoru's true core strengths, beyond his innate
abilities and biological advantages?
- Your
personality.
- “He
can do probably anything.” You said this before about him, but does he
cook often?
- It's
not that he can't cook, but he doesn't cook very often.
- You
had a 250,000 yen shirt, but do you have any special preferences in your
personal belongings? Do you have any fashion preferences?
- It
feels like walking into an expensive store, buying things without looking
at the price, and after seeing its high price, thinking “well, okay” and
doing it again.
- Do
you like the mountains or the beach more?
- Probably
the beach.
- Dogs
or cats?
- It
seems like he would like cats, but I think he likes dogs more.
- Bread
or rice?
- It
seems like you would like the bread more.
In conclusion, “Jujutsu Kaisen” continues
to captivate its fans with its complex characters and deep stories. With the
manga in its final stretch , fans are eager to see how the
story of Satoru Gojo and his companions will culminate. Gege
Akutami's Q&A session not only offered greater insight into Gojo, but also
underlined the ingenuity and depth of the "Jujutsu Kaisen" universe.
