Satoru Gojo

Satoru Gojo is one of the main protagonists of Jujutsu Kaisen. He is a special grade jujutsu sorcerer and a teacher at the Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College.

Appearance
Satoru Gojo is a tall man, towering over his students, and is apparently considered attractive by many women. He has white hair that's often spiked up, but Gojo lets it down when he's in more casual attire. Gojo has bright blue eyes, but they're usually covered by his signature black blindfold or a pair of dark sunglasses.

While working, Gojo wears an all-black high-necked jacket with matching pants and dark dress boots. In the past, Gojo has worn bandages over his eyes rather than his simple blindfold. He has several different casual attires that usually include long-sleeved shirts and slacks. He even wears long-sleeved hoodies to the beach with black swim trunks.

Personality
Satoru is a complex individual. Due to his upbringing, he was extremely confident in his sorcerer abilities when he was younger, believing himself to be invincible. During his fight with Toji Fushiguro, his overconfidence almost resembles that of a god complex caused by a sudden burst of strength. In the past he was also very apathetic to anyone he deemed weak, going as far as telling Suguru Geto that looking out for weak people was 'self righteous garbage'. When tasked with protecting Riko Amanai, he forms a bond with her which causes him to start caring for and wanting to protect 'weak' people for the first time in his life. In the present, he is still very confident in his abilities and reputation as a powerful sorcerer, casually dismissing personal threats from Sukuna by saying that he could trounce the King of Curses at full strength. His overconfidence often causes problems, such as almost being killed by Toji due to letting his guard down, and, while destroying him in a fight, letting Jogo be saved by Hanami without getting any useful information out of him. He even allows Mahito to steal six of Sukuna's fingers because he's so focused on showing off his technique and strength. He has also not completely let go of his habit of judging people based on strength, constantly berating his superiors for being weak and cowardly while praising himself for being the strongest.

He is usually nonchalant and playful towards people such as his students, (close) colleagues, and friends, but unsympathetic and cruel with people such as the sorcerer executives. In a crisis, Gojo is capable of being very cold-blooded. He will prioritize his enemies' destruction over saving innocent people when he thinks that the sacrifice is unavoidable. However, this only extends to the people killed by his opponent; Gojo will not do any lasting harm to or kill anyone innocent to gain the upper hand.

Gojo wishes to reform jujutsu society as a whole from the bottom-up through education, wanting to finally make a meaningful change in the world. He fosters a new generation of sorcerers he hopes will be able to become his equals, which no one, except for Geto, has ever been. However, he is not a very good teacher, as he himself also admits.

Abilities and Powers
Overall Skill Level: Satoru is said to be the strongest sorcerer in the series, holding both immense amounts of cursed energy and a dangerously powerful technique. He has also demonstrated himself capable of utilizing the Domain Expansion technique. Satoru himself claims that if Sukuna were to regain his full power, he would win.

Immense Strength: Satoru possesses tremendous physical strength to fight against powerful curses without a problem, delivering powerful punches and throwing Jogo a considerable distance with a single kick during their fight.

Immense Speed & Reflexes: Satoru is an extremely fast fighter, managing to follow the movements of Jogo effortlessly and throwing almost imperceptible punches and kicks. He was shown to be able to move faster than the eye can perceive. Satoru can also eliminate a thousand transfigured humans in five minutes.

Tactical Intellect: Gojo is quite tactical and capable of figuring out his opponent's plan with minimum information. He has also shown to be extremely adaptable to any enemy he has ever faced so far, knowing precisely what to do to counter their techniques and find ways to defeat them. This is best displayed during his bout against Jogo, Hanami, Choso and Mahito where he was shown to be capable of conceiving multiple battle strategies while fighting at blinding speeds, protecting civilians, keeping property damage to a minimum, all while dodging and evading the attacks of the four curses.
