Jujutsu Kaisen Six Eyes Mystery: What We Always Wondered
For years, fans have speculated about the true nature of the Gojo clan’s power. Several hundred years can pass before a bearer of the Six Eyes appears, and no two bearers can exist at the same time. This rare ocular ability, combined with the Limitless technique, made Gojo virtually unstoppable – but what happens when the impossible occurs?
Six Eyes vs Limitless: Understanding the Difference
| Ability | Type | Inheritance | Rarity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Six Eyes | Rare inherited gift | Exclusive to Gojo clan | Several hundred years between users |
| Limitless | Inherited technique passed down in Gojo Clan | Any Gojo family member | More common within clan |
| Perfect Combination | First sorcerer born with both in last hundred years | Extremely rare | Generational phenomenon |
Unlike the Limitless, the Six Eyes is not a technique. Instead, it is defined as being a very rare, inherited gift that is unique to the Gojo clan. This distinction becomes crucial when understanding what Gojo’s death means for the future.
The Death That Changes Everything
As of Chapter 236, Satoru Gojo has been confirmed to have died as a result of his fight with Sukuna. This seismic event doesn’t just remove the series’ strongest character – it fundamentally alters the supernatural balance that has defined Jujutsu Kaisen’s world.
The immediate implications:
- Gojo’s death at the hands of Sukuna means a new Six Eyes user should be born.
- The Limitless technique remains within the Gojo bloodline
- The Six Eyes were always bound to Master Tengen and the Star Plasma Vessel by fate.
Kenjaku’s Historical Fear: Why This Matters
The mystery deepens when we examine Kenjaku’s actions throughout history. At some point in the past, Kenjaku was defeated by two different users of the Six Eyes. After his second defeat, Kenjaku did not take any chances and killed another Six Eyes user a month after they were born.
This reveals the true terror that Six Eyes users represent to ancient curses and explains why Gojo’s existence was such a game-changer. His death removes this fundamental threat to Kenjaku’s plans – but only temporarily.
The Next Generation: Who’s Coming?
However, the Limitless ability can still manifest within someone from the Gojo clan in the future, and so can the Six Eyes. This creates fascinating possibilities for Jujutsu Kaisen’s future.
Potential scenarios include:
- A newborn Gojo clan member inheriting the Six Eyes
- Yuta Okkotsu briefly accessed the Six Eyes, hinting at possible inheritance or transfer of power
- The emergence of an entirely new power dynamic
Why This Revelation Matters for the Series
Known to be a technique of the Gojo Clan, the Limitless cursed technique allows the user to manipulate space around them and brings the concept of infinity into reality. It is, quite easily, one of the most overpowered techniques to exist in JJK, if not the most overpowered.
The mystery wasn’t just about when the next Six Eyes user would appear – it was about understanding the cosmic balance that governs the Jujutsu Kaisen universe. Gojo’s death proves that even the “strongest” operates within larger supernatural laws.
The Fate-Bound Connection Explained
In the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, these eyes are inexorably linked to the Star Plasma Vessel and Master Tengen, creating a fate-bound connection that shapes the destiny of those who possess them. This connection explains why Six Eyes users appear when they’re most needed – not randomly, but according to cosmic necessity.
The pattern reveals:
- Six Eyes users emerge during crucial historical moments
- Their existence directly opposes threats like Kenjaku
- Each death triggers the potential for rebirth

What Gojo’s Legacy Really Means
The reason why Gojo is so powerful is due to his combination of Limitless and Six Eyes – but his true legacy lies in proving that even ultimate power operates within larger cosmic rules. His death doesn’t end the Gojo clan’s influence; it transforms it.
The biggest mystery wasn’t whether Gojo could be killed, but what his death would reveal about the supernatural laws governing his world. Now we know: the Six Eyes will return, fate will find its balance, and the cycle will continue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the next Six Eyes user be as powerful as Gojo?
A: Not necessarily. While the Six Eyes grant incredible perception and allow mastery of Limitless, Gojo’s strength came from his unique combination of both abilities plus his exceptional combat experience. Satoru Gojo is the first sorcerer to be born with both the Limitless and the Six Eyes in the last hundred years, making his level of power extremely rare.
Q: Can someone from outside the Gojo clan inherit the Six Eyes?
A: Based on current canon, the Six Eyes appear to be exclusively tied to the Gojo bloodline. However, Yuta Okkotsu briefly accessed the Six Eyes, hinting at possible inheritance or transfer of power, suggesting there might be exceptional circumstances that could allow power transfer, though this remains largely theoretical within the series’ established rules.
