An in depth satosugu analysis.

The Six Eyes and Limitless, two rare unparalleled cursed techniques unique to the Gojo Clan. One, that erases the boundaries of the human eye to allow the user to see cursed energy in high detail, and the other has the ability to control and distort space at will. Both of these techniques are extremely powerful on their own, but if they are to be brought together, the user will possess unfathomable and surreal power. Gojo Satoru, born with both the Six Eyes and Limitless, has been dehumanized since his birth. From the moment he was born, his very existence changed how the Jujutsu World worked. Never once being seen as something more than a title. Even without having infinity turned on, the undeniable power that he possesses creates a wall between him and everyone else. Untouchable, isolated, and forsaken. The strongest. 

Cursed spirit manipulation, a rare ability that allows the user to summon and control cursed spirits. Once a cursed spirit is exorcised, a user with this ability will then be able to consume the curse which in turn will grant the user control over the curse. This is Geto Suguru’s cursed technique. 

Both Satoru and Suguru possess rare and powerful techniques which, we can assume, brought upon their friendship. They understand each other, they are the only people to ever see one another for what they truly are. People. Together, they are “the strongest”, not because they are equal in strength, but because of how they are treated, only seen as weapons to be used.

 In Jujutsu Society, sorcerers are meant to exorcise curses, which are born from the negative emotions of humans. Fear, stress, worry, anger, etc. Knowing this, we can only imagine how painful it must be for Suguru, who lives in this endless cycle of exorcising and consumption. Geto Suguru, whose first letter GE uses a kanji character that means “summer”. Geto Suguru, whose birthday is celebrated during the transition of winter into spring, who, in the beginning, is generally associated with warmth. A character who is a representation of how trauma can affect even the kindest souls and turn them to ruin. Geto Suguru, who slowly loses his warmth as he loses his mind.

 Suguru spirals into insanity and forms a plan that will eradicate the world of curses—kill all nonjujutsu sorcerers. Throughout this, Satoru has been working on improving his cursed technique— unaware of this increasing gap between the formerly known “strongest duo”. Satoru, who was so caught up in getting stronger, failed to see his best friend begin to lose his sanity. 

 During their confrontation, Satoru tells him that what he’s doing is pointless and impossible. Yet from Suguru’s perspective, it can’t be impossible if Satoru is capable of achieving his ideals, for Satoru, this is something that is completely attainable if he wished to do so. He then goes on to ask, “Are you the strongest because you’re Gojo Satoru? Or are you Gojo Satoru because you’re the strongest.” These lines are tragic for multiple reasons; hearing this come from his best friend, who understands the loneliness Satoru has felt from being objectified since the day he was born— His best friend, who was the only person to see him for who he was and not his strength, is questioning his identity. Asking if his personality is what made him strong or if it’s his strength that made him. Geto Suguru is now viewing him as everyone else is, the strongest. Alone since birth, the one person who was supposed to be with him against everyone has dissolved into the majority. 

10 years later, despite no contact, and despite ending on bad terms, Satoru still refers to Suguru as his “one and only”, because to this day he is still the only person to ever truly recognize Satoru for who he is.

 December 24th, Gojo Satoru is ordered to execute Geto Suguru. 

“Someone who doesn't want to be saved is like the setting sun sinking into the mountains. No matter how you hold out your hand, there's no way to reach them. There was no way to reach him. It doesn't matter how strong you are”. Gojo Satoru who, although deemed the most powerful, will not ever be strong enough to save the people he cares for. 

Due to Satoru’s inability to dispose of his best friend’s body, a curse, by the name of Kenjaku, takes control of his corpse. Kenjaku’s plan of optimizing cursed energy cannot exist if Gojo is there to stop him, thus forming his part in the beginning of the shibuya incident. 

The prison realm is a living barrier in which there is nothing it cannot seal. However, this comes with a set of conditions. The target you wish to seal inside the barrier has to remain within a four-meter radius for one minute. The goal is to distract Satoru for one minute. Once the gate has opened, Kenjaku reveals himself to Satoru. In an instant, three years of Gojo’s past flood into his brain. Memories of his youth, the echoed laughter, the remembrance of joy, flashes of smiles. Memories of despair, isolation, helplessness, and death. A scene made up of shock and devastation plays out, the only person who could ever pull this sort of reaction out of the man with no weaknesses, his Achilles heel— Geto Suguru. In the horror of seeing his best friend’s body, something that is wearing Suguru’s deceased skin as a costume, he shouts “who are you.” In this moment, Satoru Gojo who basis his own self worth on his strength, rejects his power. His six eyes being the very thing that makes Satoru special, the root of his strength, without which he would be nothing; he rejects his strength for something as simple as a feeling. He sees that he has the same scent, the same aura, same cursed energy, everything is the same down to his mannerisms, yet Satoru knows deep within his soul that it is not him.

“My soul knows otherwise.”
