The reveal of Satoru Gojou's eyes was the show-stealing moment of Jujutsu Kaisen Episode 7. While Gojou's Limitless Cursed Technique is already impressive on its own, part of what makes him the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer out there is what's known as the Six Eyes. Gojou's default is to keep his enigmatic blue eyes hidden, so the decision to reveal them against Jougo points to them being a dangerous tool in his arsenal.
It's no mystery that when it comes to the most powerful character in Jujutsu Kaisen, Gojou unanimously takes the cake -- with other Sorcerers and Cursed Spirits openly attesting this as truth. Like Naruto's Kakashi Hatake before him, this white-haired sensei also initially keeps his eyes hidden because of the power they possess. Though the full details of Gojou's mysterious Six Eyes have yet to be revealed, they are crucial to utilizing his Limitless Cursed Technique to its full potential.
Exploring Gojo's Past
As shown in the manga's flashback arc and prequel series, Gojou hasn't always kept his eyes entirely covered, opting for sunglasses as a student of Jujutsu Tech instead of his now-signature black bandages. This shift over time is likely associated with the development of his Six Eyes, which allow him to detect the presence of Cursed Energy, even within cursed weapons, and analyze someone's Cursed Technique.
He has a heightened awareness of threats and the possible advantage of knowing how an opponent's attacks work. However, there have been instances of people exploiting the Six Eyes weakness, namely Megumi's father, Toji Fushiguro. He was renowned for being the only person to be utterly devoid of all Cursed Energy, making him a natural foil to Gojou's Six Eyes.
The Six Eyes & Limitless Cursed Technique
Gojou comes from one of the three prominent Jujutsu families -- Gojou, Kamo and Zen'in -- and inherited their Limitless Cursed Technique. However, he became the first person in over 100 years to be born with both the Limitless and Six Eyes. This rare combination pairs together so that Gojou gains a deeper understanding of his technique at such an atomic level he can unlock facets not reached before.
Gojou's Limitless Cursed Technique can manipulate the infinity that exists between him and anything that approaches, like never-ending decimals between numbers, stopping them from hitting him. Depending on how he uses his Cursed Energy and techniques, Gojou can both repel and attract objects. He can even completely erase something from existence.
These abilities don't come naturally to everyone in the famous Gojou family and is only possible due to the Six Eyes. With the Six Eyes extrasensory capabilities, Gojou can use them to dissect his technique's intricacies and calculate how to reach his full potential. It's such a devasting combination that Gojou's birth is said to have altered the world's balance.
Gojou Reveals His Eyes to Jougo
When looking at the various stages of Gojou's development, his eyes gradually become more covered as time goes on. By the time Gojou is introduced, his skills as a Jujutsu Sorcerer have advanced to a point where he may need to conceal the Six Eyes. Revealing his eyes during the fight with Jougo feels significant, a moment where he takes off his kid gloves to showcase what he can do with his Domain Expansion: Infinite Void.
With the exact truth still to be explored, fans speculate that Gojou's decision to keep his eyes covered could stem from an attempt to avoid sensory overload that could come with the Six Eyes. With the amount of information they're able to process and the nature of working with "infinity," a strong case could be made that Gojou must use the bandages to restrict and protect himself while conserving energy. Regardless of whether it's a necessity or merely a killer fashion statement, Gojou's signature look of keeping his eyes covered adds major significance to the moments he chooses to show them.
