Jujutsu Kaisen: Is Satoru Gojo Rich? What Did He Inherit?
We all know that Satoru Gojo is the most popular Jujutsu Kaisen character, but while the majority of his popularity stems from the fact that he has a specific personality and is also exceptionally powerful, many other aspects of his character merit an explanation, and this article is going to talk about one of them. In this article, we will talk about Gojo’s wealth, as you will find out whether Satoru Gojo is rich or not.
As the only heir of the Gojo Clan in the series, Satoru Gojo is undoubtedly quite rich and is certainly among the richer characters in the series. The Gojo Clan is one of the great clans in the series, and there is no doubt that they are quite wealthy, like the Zenin Clan. This was confirmed during the flashback scene that portrayed Gojo as a child, and which showed the quality of his clothing, as well as the luxury of his life, but also when he paid Mei Mei a large sum of 10 million Yen, as was seen on the transaction paper in one of the episodes.
The rest of this article will be about Satoru Gojo and his family, i.e., his family’s wealth. We will give you all the known facts from the series and all the conclusions we managed to draw from these facts. The issue here is that Akutami did not explore this issue very deeply, so there are not too many facts here that we can work with, but we will try to do our best to provide you with as many facts as we can. Some spoilers will be present, but this article will not be as spoiler-heavy as some of our other articles.
Is Gojo’s Clan Rich?
The Gojo Clan is an exceptionally important part of the Jujutsu Kaisen lore. However, we know very little about them in general, as Akutami’s relationship to the history of his lore is lacking, at best. We are now going to reveal what is known about the Gojo Clan, but do not expect a lot of information, as Akutami hasn’t revealed much.
We know that the Gojo Clan is a very old clan from the series. Michizane Sugawara, one of the most illustrious figures in the history of Jujutsu sorcerers, is the ancestor of the Gojo Clan. This family grew as powerful and well-known as they have in recent times because of him.
Limitless and the Six Eyes are the two main cursed skills that are passed down in the Gojo Clan, and Satoru Gojo became the first person in many years to inherit both these techniques, which is why he is considered to be the most powerful person in the whole world.
We know that the Gojo Clan has been around for some time and that Kenjaku spoke of a clan member stopping him many years ago. We also know that the Gojo Clan is quite important, but that’s about it. No other information has been provided about the Clan, and we don’t really have much to go on here, although there is some information we can deduce from what we’ve seen in the series.
If we go back to Gojo’s Past Arc, we can observe a scene with a child Gojo; Toji is not relevant to this article. At the time, we saw that Gojo was dressed in a high-quality kimono and that he had some sort of a caretaker, as the woman with him did not seem like his mother, more like a maid or a nanny.
Also, Gojo seemingly had a very haughty attitude, all of which points to the fact that the Clan was quite rich and that Gojo’s social status was definitely a relevant factor. It has never been explained in detail, but the implications are there.
Later, back in the present timeline, another piece of evidence was presented that proves, undeniably, that Gojo is very rich. Namely, during the story, Mei Mei observed a list of payments to her account, and on the bottom, there was Satoru Gojo’s name next to the sum of 10 million Yen, which is roughly US$67,686.50, an amazing sum if you ask us. That was payment for a job well done, but the sum is more important than the story; namely, if Gojo had 10 million yen to give to Mei Mei, then it means that he was filthy rich, as this is a very large amount for an individual to give out.
As we’ve said, the story’s details are scarce, but from what we’ve seen in the series, Gojo is definitely very rich, and that is all thanks to his Clan. Obviously, he has inherited a vast fortune, which can be seen, although Akutami has not provided us with any details here.
What does Gojo do for a living?
Well, we have now established that Gojo’s wealth stems from the fact that he has inherited a vast fortune from his family, as the Gojo Clan is not only an important one in the series, it is also incredibly rich. But, unlike some rich characters who do not do much in life, Satoru Gojo is active and has a job.
Namely, as fans of the series will know, Satru Gojo is a professor at the Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College, teaching the current generation of first-years, which includes Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara. He is an exceptionally skilled jujutsu sorcerer, so it makes sense that he earns money by teaching. He is also paid when he goes on special missions, which is an additional income source for him.
