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.
