Gojo Satoru stands as Jujutsu Kaisen's strongest sorcerer, capable of being rivaled only by the Demon King, Ryomen Sukuna. Throughout the series, he has demonstrated why such a title was bestowed upon him and the weight it carries.

From Limitless to Infinite Void, Gojo has showcased a range of Jujutsu that have wowed viewers and opponents alike. Among his arsenal of abilities is the Six Eyes, something highly revered in Jujutsu Society. While little is known about it, a certain theory about the Six Eyes could link back to their origins.

This theory classifies the Six Eyes as an acquired ability rather than something one is born with. It pushes the argument that the Gojo Clan bestows such an ability on the most suitable individual to ensure that it is protected and responsibly carried on.

The Six Eyes is a fascinating concept in Jujutsu Kaisen. The abilities it grants its user are seemingly unparalleled and quite powerful. However, they are also shrouded in mystery in terms of physical characteristics. This is where an interesting theory hints at their exclusivity to the Gojo Clan and their origins.

According to the theory, the Six Eyes could be an inherited technique that is passed down through generations. The chosen individual acquires it when their eyes and overall optical system are imbued with Cursed Energy (CE).

The theory continues by stating an interesting fact - CE, whenever it has materialized, has appeared blue. Simultaneously, the Six Eyes have a blue hue, which is quite similar to the color of CE, which drives home the above-mentioned point.

This theory seems quite plausible, considering the limited knowledge of the Six Eyes and their exclusivity to the Gojo Clan. Moreover, this theory ties into another speculative belief that the Six Eyes are nothing but a string of Binding Vows that the chosen Gojo Clan individual makes.

This would mean that Gojo, through these Binding Vows, possesses something similar to Kento Nanami. Nanami uses a Binding Vow known as Overtime, which boosts his Cursed Energy (CE) output by 110%-120% when he begins working overtime.

However, if it is indeed similar to Overtime, that would put a restriction on Gojo's CE output until a certain condition was fulfilled. But that doesn't seem to be the case, as Gojo has always used his abilities uninhibited. So a speculation such as this might not hold that much weight.

Final thoughts

Jujutsu Kaisen might be drawing near to its ultimate bit, but there are still a few questions that need answering. Gojo's Six Eyes stands as one of these questions, and interestingly, Gege Akutami has refrained from revealing much about them while displaying them as a highly enviable asset.

No doubt, given the abilities of those blue eyes, they would be a great tool in any arsenal. Barring the fact that they are a double-edged sword with how much of a drain they can be on the user, they provide benefits that are seemingly second to none. Hopefully, the creator sheds some light on this intriguing mystery soon.
