Hi there, Junko from Japan here! Why do Jujutsu sorcerers such as Gojo Satoru and Nanami Kento wear sunglasses? They don’t wear glasses for fashion but cover their eyes for a reason.
General Reason Why Jujutsu Sorcerers Wear Glasses
Some cursed spirits try to attack Jujutsu sorcerers when they look each other in the eye. So some sorcerers wear sunglasses so that they can avoid useless battles. Nanamin is the exact example.
But it does NOT apply to Gojo Satoru. His strength is so exceptional that cursed spirits never challenge him. He has a different reason to cover his eyes. Why does Gojo cover his eyes?
Why Does Gojo Cover His Eyes Sometimes?
Gojo uses blindfolds to ease a physical burden.
He has special eyes called RIKUGAN (six eyes), which allow him to see through the flows of cursed energy in detail. But it stains his brain all the time with its massive amount of information.
So he covers his eyes and reduces the amount of information he gets from sight. In battles, he takes blindfolds off to take advantage of Six Eyes.
Gojo’s Sunglasses Are Made Specially
According to the author of Jujutsu Kaisen, Gojo’s sunglasses are specially made of jet-black material, and they’re different from the ones commonly sold.
Rikugan can catch cursed energy left in non-living things such as buildings, and Gojo can see even if he covers his eyes. I think it’s like a night vision scope or echolocation? Maybe he uses sunglasses and fabric as a filter that shut needless information out.
For your information, Gojo wore a white bandage in Jujutsu Kaisen 0. But it was replaced with black fabric to reduce the drawing cost. I agree the black fabric is easier to draw than a rolled-up bandage!
