Jujutsu Kaisen Creator Unpacks the Origins Behind Gojo's Glasses

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of immersion into the world of anime, I can confidently say that Jujutsu Kaisen is one of those rare series that transcends the boundaries of fandom. From casual viewers to die-hard enthusiasts, this shonen title has managed to captivate audiences worldwide, and Satoru Gojo stands as its undisputed poster boy.


As a long-time anime enthusiast with over two decades of watching and reading manga, I can confidently say that “Jujutsu Kaisen” is one of those series that simply cannot be ignored. Whether you’re a diehard fan or someone who hasn’t yet dipped their toes into the world of shonen titles, this show has managed to captivate audiences worldwide, thanks in large part to the charisma and skill of characters like Satoru Gojo. I myself have been following the series since its early days, and it’s been a joy to watch as its fanbase continues to grow. That being said, I was thrilled to learn that series creator Gege Akutami will be sharing new information about the character’s backstory, including the origin of his iconic shades. As someone who is always eager to learn more about their favorite characters and the worlds they inhabit, I can’t wait to see what insights Akutami has in store for us!

The origin of this matter stems from Akutami, who participated in a large-scale Q&A session conducted by Shueisha. During this event, fans inquired about Gojo, among other things, and one reader specifically asked about the sunglasses worn by the sorcerer during his high school years. Much like other enthusiasts, this fan was curious to know why Gojo chose to wear those sunglasses. It is revealed that Gojo started wearing them in middle school, and he has continued to do so ever since.

Akutami mentioned that the character he was discussing had sunglasses because he didn’t want to see too much with his “Six Eyes.” It makes sense for him to wear them even before high school. Akutami also expressed that it’s hard for him to picture middle school Gojo wearing sunglasses, so let’s avoid thinking about that scenario, as shared through Myamura.

As a devoted fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, I’ve always wondered about Gojo’s sunglasses and their connection to his clan technique. It’s no secret that he hails from a lineage with the powerful Limitless ability, but what truly sets him apart is his Six Eyes. This extraordinary eye power enhances his ability to trace cursed energy like never before and manipulate it in ways that maximize the potential of Limitless.

Gojo’s Six Eyes grant him extraordinary vision, similar to a hawk. These eyes are rumored to reveal objects from kilometers away, functioning as an advanced infrared camera. Essentially, Gojo perceives everything with his Six Eyes, but this ability often triggers headaches. His sunglasses help filter some of this overwhelming information, which explains why Gojo is fond of wearing them—even during the night.

Interested in learning more about “Jujutsu Kaisen”? That’s easy! Below, you’ll find a brief overview of the series from its official synopsis. After that, feel free to dive into the manga through the Shonen Jump app:

In a universe where malevolent spirits thrive on unwitting humans, remnants of the infamous and dreaded demon Ryomen Sukuna have been misplaced. If any demon swallows Sukuna’s physical fragments, the power they acquire could bring about the annihilation of our reality. Luckily, there’s a secret academy of jujutsu practitioners who strive to safeguard the fragile life of humans against supernatural forces!
