In Jujutsu Kaisen the Gojo clan has a long history that goes back over a thousand years, but despite that Satoru Gojo is the only one who gets any screentime. Because of this it’s easy to forget that the rest of his family even exists, which is why today, I’ll be explaining literally everything there is to know about them.

Alright so starting off 1000 years ago, the origin of Gojo’s clan can be traced back to a guy called Michizane Sugawara. According to Panda, Michizane was a big-shot jujutsu sorcerer during the Heian era, which is the golden age where sorcerers and curses were stronger than at any other point in history. To be a big-shot in those days means that Michizane must’ve been unbelievably powerful and in JJK volume 0, we got the reveal that both Gojo’s family and Yuta’s family are his descendants. This helps to explain why they each have nearly unlimited amounts of cursed energy, since their ancestor is legit one of the best sorcerers of all time. What makes this even crazier that Michizane Suguwara was a real person who actually existed, and the story of his death ties in nicely to Jujutsu Kaisen. Born in the year 845, Michizane was recognised early on as a child genius who could read and write classical poetry. By his mid-20s he easily passed the exams to become a government official, where he rose through the ranks way faster than a normal person would. Thanks to his many talents he earned the respect of Japan’s Emperor Uda, who rapidly promoted Michizane into important jobs such as ambassador to China. However, many of the other nobles felt threatened by his success and so in the 10th century they falsely accused him of treason. By this point Emperor Uda had retired and was replaced by his son who was more than willing to banish Michizane from the capital. Over the next two years Michizane was put through hell before dying in the year 903 and after his death that strange things started happening. For example, one of the nobles who’d falsely accused him was struck by lightning and killed, while another suddenly died of illness. On top of that, the politician who replaced Michizane passed away after falling in a swamp and the emperor who banished him lost his son and grandson within a short period of time. In fact on historical records, the cause of death for the emperors son was implied to be the “curse of Michizane”, as they believed his vengeful spirit was behind all the chaos.

This is what brings us back to JJK, where we know that humans can turn into curses after death depending on the circumstances. In Michizane’s case he had unfinished business with the nobles who framed him and since he wasn’t killed with cursed energy, his soul was able to return as a special grade vengeful spirit. In this form he became feared for causing natural disasters like floods and earthquakes, but his most well-known attack was lightning. On more than one occasion lightning struck different people who’d betrayed him and for that reason it’s my personal theory, that when Michizane was alive he had fully mastered the Limitless cursed technique. Season 1 of Jujutsu Kaisen implied that lightning can be a natural byproduct of Hollow Purple, and so if a sorcerer is skilled enough, they might be able to harness that lightning as an extension technique. An extension technique is when someone creatively uses their technique in a way that deviates from its normal purpose, with an example being how Megumi created flying toads by fusing two of his Shikigami together. Given that Michizane is a legendary sorcerer with 30 years more experience that Gojo currently has, I’d say that there’s a decent chance that Lightning could be one of many extension techniques, that he derived from the Limitless. If this theory is correct it would also mean he had the six eyes, which is a quirk that enables you to see cursed energy on a microscopic level. Throughout history only sorcerers from Gojo’s bloodline have had this mutation and according to the author, the six eyes is essential for using Limitless. Therefore as Gojo’s most famous and possibly most powerful ancestor, there’s absolutely no reason why Michizane couldn’t have had the same cursed technique and if he did then by default he would’ve had the six eyes as well.

Anyone else think Michizane might’ve had that six-eyes + Limitless combo? 🤔🤔

[blahfever]

There’s so much lore in JJK. Gege could have different JJk stories going on in those different periods to build even more on it. I think it would be cool to see the stories of the ancestors and see what was true and what are lies orchestrated by the JJK higher ups.

[DigitalFroxe]

oh please, don't fill me with the hope that Gojo's gonna pull off some sick lightning moves in the manga

[WRRRam]

I personally believe Kashimo to also be a descendant of Michizane, it make's sense with his lightning abilities matching up with Michizane's and it also helps that Kashimo is said to be extremely strong being the strongest sorcerer of the Edo period I believe. I also think he has some resemblance to Gojo.

[fullsilverbig]

I always tought that gojo being alone to represent the gojo clan was weird . Its clearly implied that gojo always felt alone and hate the jujutsu world gojo clan was probably like the zenin this why he was so serious when he said to megumi that tsumiki would never be happy with the Zenin clan. Gojo stated so strong that if he wanted he coulve kill every human on earth . Tbh it wouldt suprise me if satoru has killed every gojo clan member like maki did but on his side he hated his clan bc gojo through the 6th eye always had the ability to see the true intent of those who interact with him so since his birth he saw that his clan was obsessed with his stregth and wanted to use him . He could never trust anybody since his birth so like maki but at the opposite side he hated how he was treated by the other . A younger version of gojo clearly had the mental instabilty to go on rampage and kill everyone .

[BlackHoleForge]

Finally somebody talkin about Jiu-Jitsu that's not yelling or screaming. I didn't have to turn down my phone or anything.

[Imanul]

This is a stretch, but considering that Michizane sugawara had lightning related abilities, couldn’t there be a possibility that kashimo would therefore be distantly related to Gojo and yuta being an descendant of sugawara’s? He does have a large quantity of cursed energy, unrivalled in his era and has a technique that is alleged to be able to kill sukuna.

[thegamingcat]

"is it tight?.. does it grip?.. i just GYATT to know!!" - everyone in the gojo clan

[TheClassicMufasa]

If Gege decides that Michizane didn't have the six eyes + limitless combo and Gojo was the first to have it or Gojo was the first to push both to their limit. Gege is just giving himself more reasons to why he hates/dislikes Gojo.

[aguywithalotofopinions]

I think the limitless should be possible to use without the six eyes, but not nearly to the same degree. Like no red, purple, or teleportation and only using blue and infinity in short bursts.

[bdagamingx]

Imagine if the story is a metaphor for gojo vs sukuna and after gojo loses the "lighting " that strikes sukuna and potentially ends him is kashimo

[zombii]

I’ve also been wondering since they talk about mahoraga if Gojo was doomed from the start of the battle with Sakuna. Since mahoraga would of already seen the 6 eyes abilities in the past.

[bobdylan]

Don't forget, they are only talking about the totality of the golden age beings. Overall. Not individually. So those characters dont necessarily have to be stronger than some of the cast we know in the modern day. If that makes sense.

[AnkleBiter]

Where'd you get this info from? There's literally zilch, nothing on the Gojo clan at all in the manga...nor have I heard anything come out in interviews about it. The clan definitely needs to be explored, and so does the Inumaki clan (who are outlaws the author said in an interview?!?!?). That shit is wildddd and we must know more

[chrisvolcy]

i knew Kenjaku was behind all of it and i was hoping the gojo clan to be culling games

[Abdega]

If Gojo’s family looks like this, you just KNOW one of them looks exactly like Griffith from Berserk

[jisfine]

There's like three chapters left in the manga and i still wanna know more about the gojo clan not gonna lie! Thanks for this video btw!!!

[Telarius]

in other media, it's stated its possible for others to have limitless, and even non-gojo clan related sorcerers, but to full utilize it you need the six eyes.

This indirectly states that you can still use limitless without the six eyes.

[SatoruIyed]

I do not think michizane had the six eyes or limitless as i think those techniques started to appear after long time from the gojo clan first appearence and this clan started to appear in the heian era and since they are michizane decendants he himself have to be from a time even before the heian era and the fact that sukuna did not recognize the technique back up the theory that the inherited techniques started to manifest only after sukuna got turned into the cursed objects
Note : that is my headcanon and i could be wrong so if you think other wise i respect your opinion

[skullknight]

it would be cool to see an earlier form for the 6 eyes or limitless via the ancestor
i was worried we wouldn't meet the gojo clan but apparently the manga is far from finishing according to gege
