Another Six Eyes user, explained after Gozo's death

This article contains spoilers from the Shinjuku Showdown arc of Jujutsu Kaisen.

Key takeaways

• The six eyes in Jujutsu Kaisen are a unique feature in the Gozo family.
• Gozo's death must mean the birth of a new Six Eyes user.
• Another Six Eyes user on JJK will be from the Gozo clan.

Gozo was easily one of the most important characters Jujutsu Kaisen. Fans know him as an icon and more than just a face JJK series for many years. This is why fans were completely shocked when the strongest modern mage, Gozo, met his end at the hands of the strongest mage in history, Ryomen Sukuna. Fans knew that Gozo and Tsukuna would face off in Shinjuku, but few predicted that Gozo would die in battle against the King of Curses.

Now, even long after his death, many questions are being raised from this great loss. The biggest question on fans' minds is related to the power of Six Eyes, whose future is still a mystery.

What are the Six Eyes in Jujutsu Kaisen?

• A unique feature in some members of the Gozo family
• One of Gozo's strongest weapons

Six Eyes is not a cursed technique, contrary to what many fans may believe. Six eyes is a characteristic that is unique to members of the Gozo family. Even among members of the Gozo family, not all have six eyes. This is a trait that only a select few can achieve, and they can only be one user of the Six Eyes at a time. Essentially, Gozo was the user of Six Eyes in the modern era, and before him, the user of Six Eyes was unknown to fans.

Six Eyes stayed with Gozo for a long time, as the Six Eyes user must be present with Tengen, as the story tells, for the current sequence to work properly. The exact mechanism behind this isn't made clear in the story, but what fans do know is that the eyes are of some importance. There is a reason why Kenzaku tried to kill many Six Eyes users in the past, although he was unsuccessful with Gozo.

Essentially, this trait, known as the Six Eyes, allows the user to read curse energy at a much deeper level. The user can see cursed energy like no other, even from miles away, and study it infinitely better than anyone else. It gives the user an innate understanding of cursed energy, its flow, potential, and everything else about it. The user can also see, study, and react to cursed technologies and act accordingly when faced with a threat.

Perhaps, the greatest benefit of having six eyes is that it dramatically increases the user's curse energy efficiency. Essentially, the amount of curse energy needed to activate a technique is unlimited in Gojo Satoru's case, and Yuta attributes it to the straight six eyes. According to Yuta, Gozo can essentially never escape the cursed energy, and this makes the six eyes a great weapon for him. More than that, the six eyes are also incredibly special because they allow the user to channel absolutely unlimited power.

Without the Six Eyes, the Infinite Cursed Technique cannot be used properly. There have been many users of the unlimited technology over the years, but not all of them have access to six eyes at the same time. Gozo is one such person, and before him, the last user of both Limitless and Six Eyes existed around 400 years ago, which is a long time ago.

The Death of Gojo Satoru and the Legacy of the Six Eyes

Gozo's death means that the six eyes must pass

In JJK's Shinjuku Showdown arc, Gozo's death came as a huge shock to many readers, but it was something they had to make peace with. Gozo, although strong, would not live forever and fans knew that if he fought against Tsukuna, the possibility of his death was very real. Although the fight was neck and neck, Sukuna killed Gozo in the end, and at the end of it all, there was a scene where Gozo lost his eyesight. Gozo's death meant that a new user of Six Eyes would be born into the world at some point. And, it certainly makes for an exciting prospect for the future JJK.

Farewell, Gojo Satoru! I will never forget you as long as I live! – Sukuna

After Gozo who can get the six eyes, fans know that Yuta temporarily gained access to these eyes. This is because Yita fought against Tsukuna using Kenzaku's technique to control Gojo's body. It was short lived for Yuta, but he finally learned what the Six Eyes were, how they helped Gozo in the war, and how difficult it really was to control them. At the same time, he also got access to unlimited cursed technology for a short period of time, and it definitely made for an exciting battle. That said, Yuta was never going to be a permanent user of unlimited or six eyes, which essentially meant that a new person with these powers would have to be born at some point in the future.

Who will be the next user of six eyes in JJK?

A new Six Eyes user can be both in the JJK world

Currently, there will be no user of Six Eyes and Limitless technology at the same time. Given that Gozo is the first to inherit both at the same time in 400 years, a safe bet is that another person using both at the same time will not appear for a century or more. However, the six eyes must remain active and be inherited by someone else. Naturally, as it is a characteristic of the Gozo clan, anyone born into the Gozo clan will likely acquire this ability.

Who this person is going to be, fans don't know at this point. It's unfortunate that the writer didn't expand on the Gozo Clan at all, because if he had, fans would have had a clear idea of ​​where Six Eyes would show himself in the future. Perhaps the writer will focus on the Gozo clan later in some spin-off or one-shot, which will then explain who holds the six eyes.

At least, fans know that these eyes will appear again somewhere, and it will be of a member of the Gozo family. Perhaps, it will once again be a child of Gozo's parents or a distant relative of Gozo. Fans don't know the specifications yet, and can only hope that Gage expands on them sooner rather than later.

The final chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, JJK 271, was finally released on September 29, 2024. Fans can read the series on the Manga Plus and Shonen Jump apps.
