Why Does Gojo Close His Eyes?

Gojo closes, or more accurately, covers his eyes to manage the immense power of his Six Eyes ability, primarily to prevent overwhelming fatigue and maintain stable energy levels throughout his day.

The Power and the Price of Six Eyes

Satoru Gojo possesses the rare and exceptionally powerful Six Eyes, a unique ocular Jujutsu that grants him incredibly enhanced perception and the ability to process vast amounts of information. This includes seeing cursed energy in extreme detail, enabling him to use his limitless cursed technique with unparalleled precision.

However, such immense power comes with a significant drawback:

• Intense Fatigue: If Gojo's eyes are uncovered and actively processing information for too long, he experiences profound mental and physical fatigue. This constant, unfiltered input from the Six Eyes is overwhelming.
• Energy Conservation: To counteract this, Gojo covers his eyes with a blindfold or dark glasses. This serves as a way for him to maintain stable energy levels on a daily basis. By obscuring his vision, he can regulate the sensory input from the Six Eyes, preventing unnecessary energy drain.
• Strategic Utility: The Six Eyes are most potent and useful when dealing with cursed energy and combat situations. It would be inefficient and a waste of his reserves for him to have them fully "uncovered" all the time, especially during mundane activities. Therefore, covering them allows him to conserve his power for when it is truly needed.

Key Reasons Gojo Covers His Eyes

To summarize, Gojo's decision to cover his eyes is a strategic necessity for managing his formidable abilities.

By covering his eyes, Gojo ensures he can deploy his full power effectively and without debilitating consequences when facing the gravest threats in the Jujutsu world.
