Satoru Gojo, born December 7, 1989, into the prestigious Gojo clan, inherited both the Limitless technique and the Six Eyes for the first time in nearly four centuries. This rare combination granted him extraordinary perception and control over cursed energy, shifting the world's power balance from birth and attracting a massive bounty that proved futile against him. His exceptional awareness manifested early, detecting Toji Zenin's presence – the only person ever to notice Toji standing behind them, due to Toji's Heavenly Restriction eliminating his cursed energy.
As a second-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High, Gojo forged a close bond with classmate Suguru Geto. Dubbed the "Strongest Duo," they tackled formidable curses and sorcerers. During their mission to escort the Star Plasma Vessel, Riko Amanai, for fusion with Tengen, they overcame threats like Q before being ambushed by the Sorcerer Killer Toji Fushiguro. Toji exploited a momentary lapse in Gojo's Infinity technique, stabbing him through the chest and throat, then delivering fatal slashes. This near-death experience triggered Gojo's awakening: mastering reverse cursed technique to heal himself and achieving profound understanding of his powers. He killed Toji with Hollow Technique: Purple and retrieved Riko's corpse, only to witness the Star Religious Group applauding her death. Filled with rage, he suggested killing them all, but Geto dissuaded him, invoking reason.
The Riko incident sent Gojo and Geto down divergent paths. Gojo honed his abilities, becoming the undisputed strongest sorcerer. Geto grew disillusioned with protecting non-sorcerers, especially after seeing two young sorcerers abused by villagers and compounded by their junior Yu Haibara's death. This led Geto to massacre the village and defect. Gojo confronted Geto in Shinjuku but couldn't kill his best friend, allowing him to escape. This failure haunted Gojo, who later reflected he could only save those prepared to be saved.
Afterwards, Gojo took responsibility for Toji's son, Megumi Fushiguro, covering his expenses and mentoring him. He intervened for Yuta Okkotsu, a cursed teenager sentenced to execution, recognizing his potential. Gojo postponed Yuta's execution, enrolled him at Jujutsu High, and guided him to control Rika Orimoto's curse. Years later, he became the primary mentor to Yuji Itadori after Yuji became Sukuna's vessel, advocating fiercely to the jujutsu higher-ups for Yuji's survival. His teaching philosophy stemmed from a desire to reform the jujutsu world; he believed fostering a new generation of strong allies through education was more sustainable than forcibly overthrowing the corrupt system.
Gojo possessed immense physical prowess, mastering hand-to-hand combat that rivaled millennia-old sorcerers like Kenjaku. His strength allowed him to rip apart special-grade curses like Jogo and Hanami, and his speed surpassed even the former fastest sorcerer, Naobito Zenin. His endurance was remarkable, surviving near-fatal injuries via reverse cursed technique and later withstanding Sukuna's Malevolent Shrine.
His abilities centered on the Limitless technique for spatial manipulation: Infinity created an imperceptible barrier; Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue attracted objects via negative space; Hollow Technique: Purple erased matter by converging positive and negative space. The Six Eyes amplified these powers, granting precise cursed energy perception and near-infinite efficiency – recovering expended energy faster than he used it. He could deploy Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void repeatedly, overwhelming opponents with infinite information. He mastered anti-domain techniques like Simple Domain and Falling Blossom Emotion, and his reverse cursed technique enabled instant regeneration and restoration of his burnt-out cursed technique.
During the Shibuya Incident, Kenjaku, inhabiting Geto's body, sealed Gojo using the Prison Realm by exploiting his reaction to Geto's appearance. While sealed, Gojo instructed Yuta to protect Yuji from execution. Freed months later, he confronted Sukuna (inhabiting Megumi's body) in the Shinjuku Showdown. Though initially dominating the battle with superior hand-to-hand combat and landing four Black Flash strikes, Gojo was ultimately bisected by Sukuna. In his final moments, he reflected on his life alongside visions of deceased friends, including Geto. His body was later utilized by Yuta to aid the fight against Sukuna.
Personality-wise, Gojo displayed a playful, laidback demeanor with students and allies, often teasing colleagues like Utahime Iori. Toward enemies and jujutsu authorities, he exhibited ruthless arrogance, openly disrespecting figures like Principal Gakuganji. He frequently declared himself "the strongest," believing his power defined his identity. Despite callousness toward those he deemed weak, he showed compassion for students and individuals like Riko. Trauma over Geto's betrayal and Riko's death revealed a vulnerable humanity beneath his invincible facade.
