Satoru Gojo is undoubtedly the most popular character of Jujutsu Kaisen. It wouldn\u2019t be an exaggeration to say that Gojo contributes a lot to the series\u2019 global popularity. After all, he has every quality that Shonen fans adore: he\u2019s a teacher, unparalleled in battle, has an eccentric personality, and is kind enough to help anyone in need. He may come off as arrogant at first, but he only shows off his superiority in front of his enemies \u2013 which isn\u2019t necessarily bad. To top it all off, Gojo has the kind of appearance fans will always love. In Crunchyroll\u2019s poll, he was the anime crush of 2023. However, Gojo wasn\u2019t always meant to be so attractive. He wasn\u2019t this popular before revealing the face hiding behind his blindfold. Why Gege Akutami made Gojo so \u201cstunning\u201d in Jujutsu Kaisen Lightning, a former JJK translator, shared: \u201cIt\u2019s so hilarious to think that Gege drew this spread of Gojo looking absolutely stunning early in the story to help avoid cancellation, then paid the price by requiring he look hot at all times from here on out LMFAO. In the same post, he also shared Gege\u2019s Q and A where the interviewer asked, \u201cPlease tell us what you care in particular when drawing Gojo.\u201d The mangaka replied, \u201cI make sure to draw him handsome after some point in the story.\u201d For those who don\u2019t know, Jujutsu Kaisen was at risk of getting canceled during the initial phase. The series started publishing in 2018 in the Weekly Shonen Jump, but was about to get canceled after a few months. According to leaker JJK Mya, \u201cDuring its initial phase, Jujutsu Kaisen manga was in danger of getting canceled\/axed due to low reception from the audience. So, Gege was ready to permanently kill Yuji when he died in Chap-9 and wrap up the manga in a few more chaps before it gets axed.\u201d From making a visually appealing character to killing off the protagonist, Gege Akutami pulled out all the stops to make his series a success \u2013 and it worked. Jujutsu Kaisen is currently one of the most successful anime and manga franchises thanks to Gege and of course, Gojo. Even in the anime, JJK characters are often attractive, earning lots of attention from fans. Needless to say, Gojo always stands out among them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jujutsu Kaisen: Why Gege Akutami made Gojo so \u201cstunning\u201d YouTube\/TOHOJujutsu Kaisen\u2019s Satoru Gojo wasn\u2019t always a heartthrob, but Gege Akutami made him \u201cstunning\u201d for a reason.
