This was a character whose birth changed the world. When he was a baby had a multimillion dollar bounty on his head, grew up in harsh conditions, constantly training, wasn't allowed to have his parents around, who are still alive and never got to be with. Grew up constantly having to train, would run away from home just so that he could do normal things. Forced the clan to let him go to jujutsu tech because he was sick of their shit. Made one friend and one friend only, who turned around betrayed and abandoned him, left him behind to carry the burden of being the strongest alone, would push himself to the brink every single day. All for the world who didn't know him, and for the people who did know him only saw him as a tool. Took in two kids to raise. one of which got sick, possessed, and died and never got to acknowledge any of it himself because, it all happened before he was released from the prison realm. Then the other kid only ever saw him as a benefactor, despite the fact that he raised him since the age of 6. Everyone else around him, couldn't stand him, did not care about him, only saw him as the strongest, as a weapon and he knew that. He truly had no one, he was lonely, lost his humanity, even questioning himself who he was. And the only one who truly did care died, he had to kill him. He was tired, he was ready to let go, he was done being Gojo the strongest. Then along came the main villain, who he had the time of his life fighting with, and at the very end of it all, it's the villain alone who fully acknowledged Satoru Gojo as a person. Respected him and fulfilled his final wish of not being forgotten. Letting him die with a smile. Satoru was a beautifully written character who, in the words of Kaneki "his story was truly a tragedy". In my final stages of grief and with this new found acceptance, I hope Satoru is finally at peace with himself, and the one who he cares for the most. To follow the words of Sukuna, 'You did well Satoru Gojo. I won't forget you for as long as I live.'
