Jujutsu Kaisen: What Clan Is Satoru Gojo From?

The storyline of Jujutsu Kaisen allows us to see some of the strongest Jujutsu sorcerers coming from the most prominent families or clans. That’s because a person’s cursed energy and technique are things that they inherit and are born with. This is exactly why Satoru Gojo, the strongest and most overpowered Jujutsu sorcerer in Jujutsu Kaisen, is as strong as he is. But what clan is Satoru Gojo from?

Satoru Gojo hails from the Gojo family, which is currently the strongest clan in the world because it has Satoru. The Gojo clan hails from Michizane Sugawara, one of the strongest Jujutsu sorcerers in the history of Japan. Limitless and the Six Eyes are the primary inherited techniques of this clan.

Like much shonen anime, the world of Jujutsu Kaisen focuses a lot on bloodlines and clans, as only those who belong to a certain family can inherit some of the strongest techniques and innate powers. Satoru Gojo, in fact, is a product of this kind of tradition in Jujutsu Kaisen. Now, let’s try to learn more about the Gojo clan that Satoru Gojo belongs to.

Gojo Family Explained

One of the things that were made clear in the early part of Jujutsu Kaisen was that no one was stronger than Satoru Gojo at that moment. In fact, he is currently the strongest character in Jujutsu Kaisen, as no other character can match the power of his Limitless and Six Eyes. Of course, we know that Gojo acquired his powers at birth because he comes from one of the three most prominent families in the world of Jujutsu sorcerers.

In Jujutsu Kaisen, Jujutsu sorcerers focus a lot on bloodline as the cursed techniques and powers of the different families are passed on from one generation to another. The different powerful families also want to keep their techniques within the family so that the family can remain strong for generations to come. And this is important because the world of the Jujutsu sorcerers can be quite political.

As such, Satoru Gojo was a product of such a society because he hails from the Gojo family, one of the three most prominent clans in Jujutsu Kaisen. The Gojo family descends from Michizane Sugawara, one of the most legendary figures in the history of Jujutsu sorcerers. Through him, this family was able to become as strong and prominent as they have become in modern times.

The main cursed techniques that are passed down in the Gojo family are Limitless and the Six Eyes. Limitless is the power to control time and space down to an atomic level and is one of the most overpowered cursed techniques in the entire storyline. Meanwhile, the Six Eyes cursed technique is still quite mysterious, but it is said to be related to a person’s ability to control the flow of cursed energy used whenever they are using cursed techniques.

Satoru Gojo is the first person in centuries to inherit Limitless and the Six Eyes. That is why he is the most powerful Jujutsu sorcerer in the world and is basically a one-man army that can defeat any cursed spirit or sorcerer without much effort. And it is the very fact that Satoru Gojo is so overpowered that makes the entire Gojo clan the most powerful family in the storyline of Jujutsu Kaisen.

In fact, Gojo is so powerful that he does whatever he wants without fearing the repercussions of his actions. He loves to defy the wishes of the Jujutsu elders because he knows they can’t do anything about him. The fact that he is the strongest character in the storyline makes the entire Gojo family the most powerful clan in the world. 

Gojo is so powerful that the elders simply cannot do anything whenever he does something that is against their will. For example, he decided not to execute Yuta and Yuji during certain periods of the storyline even though the elders wished him to kill them. He even threatened to kill all the elders when he told them he didn’t want to kill Yuta, as Satoru knew he could easily take over the entire Jujutsu sorcerer society without much effort.

Who Are the Members of the Gojo Clan?

At this point, the only true member of the Gojo family is Satoru Gojo himself, as the other clan members are yet to be revealed or named. This makes Gojo such a powerful figure in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen as he alone already shifted the balance of power in the Jujutsu sorcerer society. His presence as a member of the Gojo family makes the clan the most powerful family in the world of Jujutsu sorcerers, and the other members of the family aren’t even being considered in the conversation as Satoru is already enough to make the clan as strong as it is.

We don’t know if other members of the Gojo family are still alive. But if more of them are going to be revealed in the manga, they may also be quite powerful but not nearly as powerful as Satoru Gojo himself.

However, during the Jujutsu Kaisen 0, Satoru Gojo revealed that Yuta Okkotsu was a distant relative of the Gojo family because they both have bloodlines that can be traced back to Michizane Sugawara. This explains why Yuta was so innately strong and is said to be the second strongest character in Jujutsu Kaisen, behind only Satoru Gojo.

Yuta isn’t exactly a member of the Gojo clan as his bloodline branched off many generations ago. Still, the fact that he is second only to Satoru Gojo proves that the bloodlines that branched off from Sugawara are the strongest in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen.
