What I Rly Want To Know Is Why Gojo Doesn't Cover His Eyes Sometimes. [manga Spoilers Ahead Ig, Self
What I rly want to know is why Gojo doesn't cover his eyes sometimes. [manga spoilers ahead ig, self harm mention]
After he awakened with RCT in the hidden inventory arc, he went out to reclaim Riko's body without them. Maybe they broke during his fight with Toji, idk.
But after he leaves the prison realm, Gojo never covers his eyes again.
My main thought was that it's out of hypervigilance. He won't let his guard down, even if it hurts. Maybe he needs specific glasses /fabric (I think Gojo has sensory issues).
Maybe he felt fine without them when he learned RCT, and he seemed pretty high then anyway so I don't think that time rly needs to have a solid explanation.
But after leaving the prison realm, he rly looked different. Maybe it's in part from Gege's art style change, or the awakening of so many sorcerers during the culling game. People say he was always that muscular, just was covered by clothes but I disagree. His facial structure is wider, we saw his skeletal collarbones at least during the flashback in the yasohachi bridge arc (which happened after the exchange event, so not that long ago). I guess what I'm saying is that Gojo changed since getting sealed, and I'm not sure in what ways. I think that seeing Kenjaku in Geto's body altered his mind too.
Maybe he's doing it as a form of self harm. Like when Sukuna switched back with Yuuji in Shibuya, the first thing he did was scrape his fingertips on the street and tear them apart. Which he knew would be painful from the detention center, he hardly reacted to losing a hand but lost it when the other was burning away from the fingertips, which are rly sensitive. Whether to cover one pain with another or try to punish the shortcomings out of themselves, I'm not sure, but would guess that it's both.
That seems like the most likely answer. And now. I'm sad. Again
Anywayyyy Gojo Satoru do you no longer get headaches? Pls explain
EDIT TO ADD:
I think now that it was to practice running RCT stronger than usual. He'd need to do that for the fight with Sukuna.
Before I thought it would have been better for Gojo to not wear himself down leading up to it. Especially when as far as I remember, he's surrounded by capable sorcerers whenever we see him. It isn't like Gojo needs to protect anyone so intensely that he can't wear anything over his eyes.
Edit 2: updated since Gojo's schedule has come out

Kesha's new song is so Kenjaku coded,
you want kids? Well I am mother
It's so funny idk if I added anything to his playlist so fast
Should I go back to my era of making lyric edits? Oh god I might
Ok so if you've caught up on chapter 262: I have a relevant prediction for 263.
Yuta's hollow purple isn't going to make it (his red and blue circles haven't overlapped, and Gojo has several times reminded Yuuta to be mindful of his sloppy cursed energy). This means that Gojo is the strongest because he is Satoru Gojo, I think, bc Yuuta's been able to copy other techniques, even RCT heal other people, he comes from a lineage at least as legendary, and he has practice with the six eyes, and all the bodily memory of Gojo's CT, but still can't become the next Satoru Gojo, like Kenjaku had said.
But, going back to my fish theory - Gojo might be able to influence Yuuta, he might gain enough control over his own body - maybe it would take Kenjaku's technique wearing down first, if only half Gojo's soul has access to the tangible world.
I think it would be kind of neat for Gojo to possess Yuuta (tho it is his own body) the same way that Sukuna had possessed Yuuji, both of them are main protagonists from Sendai who knew nothing of jujutsu until being left with a curse so intense that jujutsu society got involved. So.
The other thought is that Gojo's soul would return to his brain, maybe Yuta's body, which no longer think makes as much sense but I can't rule it out completely.
I guess the less eventful possibility is for Yuuta to call on Gojo, whose body would react to protect his students like Geto's reacted go protect Gojo. It would still explain the images above, and preserve the fact that Gojo is entirely dead. (my heart and headcanons say otherwise)
But going back to "throughout heaven and earth, I alone am the honored one" - and suspecting that heaven represents the head, and earth represents the body, along with the living world and the afterlife.... Hear me out.
I saw the recent interview w gege but I stand by my theories on Gojo coming back, anyway I also have another one
You know that Sukuna took him down w the slice that cut the world
Do you think that his soul is also in two pieces?
I mean, sukuna was split between 20 fingies (and there are similarities between those 2 already)
I get the impression that the soul might reside heavily in the head, but it's definitely through the entire body.
So Gojo can be dead and alive at the same time.
His soul can be in the airport and in the living world.
Mazie speculates on this image and Nobara's return in this video, but I have a more Gojo-centric interpretation. (yes I did always believe that Nobara is fine, I have at least 4 reasons, but about Gojo):


The fish represents Gojo, cut in half, and the eyes could represent his six eyes - - but they also resemble Sukuna's marks, specifically when he is possessing someone else's body, not in his true form.
The nail could 100% be another clue about Nobara, but it makes me think of resonance, of the link to a soul.
Maybe this is all to show that Gojo is beginning to possess his own /Yuta's body, that he's half here and half not, learning to work with this new state.
I think that's all I had to say 🫡
Throughout heaven and earth, I alone am the honored one

Thinking about how Gojo kept addressing Yuuta's sloppy cursed energy and we saw this when his katana broke in JJK0, even Geto called him out on that, and
I can't wait to see how it applies to the next chapter kajdjjsjakd I hope gege writes something chaotic and unexpected pls
