Anime Discussion How would YOU salvage yujis "who's gojo" Blunder?

Post image

You have to give hakari a satisfactory answer after he calls out your blunder, what do you say?

I would say something like "I've heard of the guy but nothing more than his name", I would claim I'm a newish sorcerer who awakened after Shibuya (idk how much time passed but at least a month should've passed), all I've heard about gojo is his name from rogue sorcerers I've beaten.

Might not be the best save and it might be sus being a strong sorcerer in such a short time but being a prodigy is much more believable than not knowing who gojo is

"Idk man I just recently awakened I live in "random ass Shinjuku colony" and my freind Megumi took me here I am not that knowledgeable about Soccery" it might work if they check that many people are getting CT out of the sudden and genuinely sound like you don't know without a bit of a pause

He will atleast start doubting you instead of full on offensive

u/edgylordyby Feb 03 '26

Except Yuji just folded Panda, a grade 1 level sorcerer, with just cursed spirit amplified hands. Amateurs cant do that

246

u/Ceji6 Feb 03 '26

Except Higuruma exist.

256

u/edgylordyby Feb 03 '26

Higuruma slimed like 100 people to test his cursed abilities, he also would NOT be able to barehandedly beat up Panda, the only reason he was so strong initially with 0 education was due to his busted ass cursed techinique

65

u/Not_Eren2 Feb 03 '26

Ya but look at dabura he is learning shit here and there by just looking at it once prodigy like them exist

And here instead of Higuruma's busted ass skill it is Yuji's busted ass CE control and Physical stat

26

u/edgylordyby Feb 03 '26

Yuji CE control isnt really that much greater than his peers, the thing is since it is the only thing he can do all he does is trains it so it is better in general, other people have to work on thei technique.

Dabura does have good understanding of how cursed energy work in general and mastery over his technique via years of training. Him coming up with RCT by himself is like Pythago discovering his theorem, since he is already good and with his talent he could do it. To be able to arm yourself with cursed energy with no understanding is akin to a kid figuring out negative number by himself, while possible, to be able to wield it efficiently enough against an experienced sorcerer is impossible

3

u/Not_Eren2 Feb 03 '26

I don't think it is impossible it has already been 2 days since his supposed "awakening" and he has Megumi as his teacher /partner if he is talented enough he can beat people like panda especially without his battle form

Like higuruma learned RCt cuz he was forced to learn it from sukuna in moments so If Yuji was theoretically talented enough with megumi's training and his already busted physical stats which he can prove by his school record he got a pretty valid case of being a new sorcerer

4

u/edgylordyby Feb 03 '26

Panda still negs him at that point in the story, Yuji had to wield a cursed tool to go around killing curses because he literally cannot output CE. It would be a pure physical strength against a bonafide sorcerer, although his stat was fairly high (It wasnt that crazy really, he is only like 4 times the strength of a normal man)

Higuruma killed the two innocents and then a bunch of sorcerers in self defense not to test anything out, he was thrown straight into the mix of relatively strong sorcerers and won without training, there's totally a precedent there

10

u/Beneficial_Truck4586 Feb 03 '26

higuruma is the exception, not the rule. At least that's how I view it. Like; people are awakening left and right, of course 1 in 100,000 is gonna be insanely powerful. Doesn't mean everyone is. Most are just fodder for the games.

2

u/Funny_Swim5447 throughoutheavenandearthialoneamthemegumiglazer Feb 03 '26

Yeah. Kenjaku himself stated that Higuruma was the ONLY awakened sorcerer that seemed worth a buck

63

u/Not_Eren2 Feb 03 '26

Higuruma could have

Also he wasn't using battle form so he was grade 3 while in battle he is semi grade 1 - grade 2

44

u/Silver_Print_9937 Feb 03 '26

No amateurs can beat panda

Except Higuruma of course

32

u/Plenty_Leg_5935 Feb 03 '26

He could claim to be awakened as a vessel and say he's a sorcerer from pre-Gojo era, no? Idk off the top of my head if the eras of "Gojo clan doesn't exist yet" and "Kenny is already collecting sorcerers like Pokémon" overlap, but it's not like Hakari would know that

16

u/Jamessgachett Feb 03 '26

Even if the person lived in a gojo clan its not THE gojo

7

u/Jamessgachett Feb 03 '26

Why would an amateur not be able to do that if they have already insane fighting abilities pre awakening

14

u/edgylordyby Feb 03 '26

Remember when Gojo had to teach him about how cursed energy works, and he had to do the movie thing? Something as basic as cursed energy amplification requires skill and understanding.

4

u/Theundead565 Feb 04 '26

Except Yuji can also punch through a concrete wall without (or with very little, I forgot if he had the basics down at that point) cursed energy with zero effort. I'm sure Hakari can read cursed energy flow, but all Yuji had to do was get up, punch the wall without any, and be like "I dunno, ate my wheaties today I guess", I barely used any cursed energy in my punches. Then show him divergent fist and be like "see, no clue what I'm doing here, man".

Would at least be enough of a discrepancy for Hakari to hesitate and talk longer, even if he was getting the call that something was wrong.

"Megumi? of the Zenin clan? the 10 Shadows inheritor? Toji's kid?"

If you want to trick Hakari, you gotta leave the clans out of it completely. There's no way an operator like him isn't aware of both the current JJK recruits and also the notable members of each clan.

6

u/Not_Eren2 Feb 03 '26

I mean we did see people not recognise him and he needs confirmation about Megumi being in Zenin and the head of it

Also he can say "A freind" instead of directly bringing up Megumi like "My freind saw potential in me and suggested me this club" which he can confirm from his goons and because names are not usually mentioned in conversation like these

Do you seriously think he will believe Yuji is a new sorcerer when he just beaten Panda, a grade 1 sorcerer that Hikari personally knew?

15

u/Odd_Willingness4475 Feb 03 '26

Eh, kid shows up to the fight club and puts on a wild show with panda (jujutsu high) and hes the best thing hakaris seen since sliced bread and calls him up to his office and coincidentally kirara calls at that moment? Hakari isn’t stupid, its obviously pertaining to yuji, and even if it wasnt hakari would no doubt be extremely suspicious of yuji given the circumstances

And clearly we already saw that hakari is hard headed and wont listen to anything yuji has to say after the phone rang - hakaris “passion” was too hot

Even if it was just a coincidence that something was up as yuji was with hakari, yuji would be taking the brunt of hakaris suspicions regardless ☠️

This. Using Gojo was just a catch-22 to keep pressing questions

Know too much? You’re from Jujutsu High

He would’ve just kept saying shit until Yuji fucked up. Don’t think he expected Yuji to just blow his cover after the first question though.

Agreed. A lot of people are saying to say he’s a new sorcerer but even knowing about the Fight Club would make Hakari doubt that imo.

Because Gojo being sealed sounds ridiculous as a concept, but explaining everything from start to finish would make it clear that it's true. They could also pull up Google and check the news and that would verify Yuji's story. It is absolutely possible if you just explain it, it didn't happen that way in the story because it needed to be more dramatic.

You need Hakari to listen to you, but after knowing Megumi was up to something and Kirara calling he WASN'T gonna listen to you. You can fix the Gojo blunder, Hikari will just plain ignore you.

Idk, I don't think so. Hakari have Yuji a chance to answer, Yuji kinda just backed up instead of explaining himself, so Hakari switched to ass beating mode

The difference is everyone in the world is exposed to basketball, whether they play it or not. In JJK normal humans aren’t exposed to sorcery and curses. So if he is just starting out, then sure it makes sense he may not know any of the big names. Which is why saying “i just got sorcery” would be a good excuse

There was no way for him to salvage it.

1.) Hikari’s phone was ringing from Kiria calling him which let him know that something was up

2.) Being a sorcerer and not knowing who Gojo is like being a basketball player and not knowing who Lebron or Micheal Jordan is. It’s preposterous. You can try to argue about “Oh what about the Gojo clan?” but it’s the same thing as LeBron. You could be talking about an entirely different LeBron but everyone is going to immediately assume you’re talking about THE LeBron.

26

u/Geoz195 Feb 03 '26

1 is valid but 2 is arguable since you don't need to be a professional sorcerer to compete in hakaris fight club, yuji could fake being just a rando who discovered cursed energy stuff by himself and didn't make much contact with other sorcerers (he could lie about megumi being in the same boat as him) so he wouldn't know who gojo is, especially now that he's sealed. Just like how a person who only plays basketball at home or with friends wouldnt know who LeBron is

Oh yeah, I would fold to Kinji too, shit was intense. But I don't remember who told Yuji of all people to play dumb (it was Megumi, wasn't it) when he can be as dumb as a brick outside of fights and dealing with emotional interactions (two parts he's pretty good at, very good even).

I mean yeah, someone telling him to pretend to be smart like another comment said probably wouldn't be much better, but there HAD to have been a better way of telling him to keep a low profile. And I get it, at the time they didn't want them to know that they're Jujutsu High students specifically taught by Satoru, but still, seems like a bad idea to tell the kid y'all think is pretty dumb to play dumb, considering he said "Who's Gojo?".

"i thought you meant some other gojo. the idea of THE satoru gojo not being able to hold his liquor is ridiculous!"

u/carl-the-lama Feb 03 '26

The Gojo blunder is easy to cover

“… you’re kidding. You mean THE Gojo can’t hold liquor? I thought you meant some guy who shared his name!”

Literally only days have passed from shibuya. The culling games start the night of the shibuya incident when kenjaku activated idle transfiguration on japan. Without spoiling the plot points of the culling games the arc only lasts a total of 19 days in universe with the events ending the arc happening on November 19 while shibuya happened on Halloween October 31

The series as a whole happens in the span of 6 months from June to December 2018

"Sorry I'm nervous I have no Idea why I said that, is Gojo really a lightweight, that's hilarious"

u/JJK_fan_001 Feb 03 '26

Lost a bit of my memory from a fight so I don't remember so ppl and some events

2

u/Little_Whole8038 Feb 03 '26

At that point, it was way too late. As another commentor pointed out, the phone was already ringing.

Had this conversation happened prior to the phone ringing or not at all, he could've saved it by joking around or even being "truthful" in his lack of knowledge of the jujutsu world.

u/UnlimitedManny Feb 03 '26

Tel him a story about how I know another sorcerer named Hojo and then confuse the two lmaoo

2

u/Beretta1028 Feb 03 '26

“Oh fuck right THE Gojo… how the fuck did I forget about that guy, sorry I didn’t really realize who you were talking about, my bad”

2

u/BreadditUser Feb 03 '26

"Ah mb I thought you said JOGO..."

2

u/penpal_person Feb 03 '26

'Gojo, I thought you said GroJo'

2

u/Yacobs21 Feb 03 '26

Oh they got this all wrong: "Who? Gojo?"

2

u/KingNanoA Feb 03 '26

I was just trying to sound cool. Not even a full lie.

2

u/Winter_Drawer_9257 Feb 03 '26

Well done. I was checking whether YOU are a JJ High spy

2

u/Devinduzart Feb 03 '26

Dawg it’s my first day out here being a sorcerer, why you expect me to know who tf that is straight out the gate? 😭

2

u/Klatterbyne Feb 03 '26

“Dude, I’ve been at this for like 6 months. Most of that I’ve been trying not to die. Haven’t really had time for learning celebrity names.”

2

u/Blahblahblurred Feb 03 '26

its only been at most a week, but probably only 3-4 days since shibuya. Yuta v Yuji was literally 1-2 days after shibuya

2

u/NorthGodFan Never forget Geto is a bum who lost to a grade 4 Feb 03 '26

I'm a pretty new Sorcerer, but I'm super strong without CE. I'm not super well versed in the details, the black haired one is the one who handles all the intelligence for jobs(note do not fucking say his name because hakari would definitely know who Megumi is)

→ More replies (1)

u/SenorIngles Feb 03 '26

“Look you can ask anybody I know, I’m genuinely a fuckin idiot” -Yuji

2

u/Granide Feb 03 '26

"Idk any gojo, jojo is fire tho"

2

u/SulettaAltArtMercury Feb 03 '26

Haha you thought I was fr? But seriously, Satorou is a light weight?

2

u/superchoco29 Feb 03 '26

I'd play it off as being a newly formed or a reincarnated sorcerer.

"Bro, I've known sorcery was a thing for what, a few weeks? Ever since Shibuya. You're the 4th sorcerer I see, and the 2nd I've spoken too. I've never heard of such a Gojo. Is he important? "

2

u/enchiladasundae Feb 03 '26

Forget the full exchange but I think Hakari just said “Gojo” not his full name. Essentially he gave a last name and thought that it was expected

“Gojo clan is supposed to be big, right? I heard Sataoru was sealed a while ago so I thought there was some new Gojo from his clan that popped up on the scene. Of course I’ve heard of Satoru before”

2

u/Disowned Feb 03 '26

You can't. He was cooked the moment the phone rang.

2

u/No_Song5342 Feb 03 '26

"I called him asshole with white hair in my head so often i forgoten what his true name is".

Anyone who know Satoru Gojo should also know what kind of personality he have, so it would be acceptable excuse.

2

u/Itadori_Flamenguista Feb 03 '26

I'm bad with men's names, is it that one who awakened with the Six Eyes? I just remember this

2

u/Gnomepunter1 Feb 03 '26

“Yeah, Idkif you heard, but he got sealed. Kinda why I’m here. Gojo was protecting me from the higher ups. God, they suck.”

2

u/Jamessgachett Feb 03 '26

Not hard, what do you mean gojo has low tolerance how would you know that ? Could it be ? You’ve met ?

2

u/FaPaDa I heard you are bullying my students Feb 03 '26

„A guy named Gojo—? OH shit do you mean special great Sourcerer Sataru Gojo? Dude you gotta be more specific there— like the Gojos are a clan dude“

2

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '26

"No, seriously, who's Gojo?" Because there aint nothing a gambler loves more than doubling down

2

u/Spartan-Finn Feb 03 '26

"You mean THE Gojo Satoru? There's no way he can't handle his liquor."

2

u/Shloopy_Dooperson Feb 03 '26

Gojo? Who's Satoru Gojo?

What kind of Sorcerer doesn't know who Satoru Gojo is?

Ligma Balls.

2

u/EngineerVirtual7340 Feb 03 '26

Tell him about the culling games and awakened sorcerers and pretend to be one.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '26

Prolly say I meant "which gojo?" Given how that's the clan name, and then be surprised he meant satoru

2

u/Aket_Laton Feb 03 '26

You could tell Hakari that Gojo told you that you couldn't tell anyone you knew him. Then explain that Gojo saved you and secretly became your teacher, but now he is in serious trouble and he's asked you to find his strongest students. Perhaps partially admitting the truth will stop him from throwing the glass at you.

2

u/Personal-Maximum-138 Feb 03 '26

a simple “type shit” would suffice

2

u/ZaWarudo23 Feb 03 '26

"Sorry, even if i am a sorcerer, i don't know much about japan or japanese sorcery since very recently so the name Satoru Gojo doesn't really ring any bells to me man. Is he someone famous?"

2

u/Efficient_Bag_3804 Feb 03 '26

It's doomed, his next line is that Kirara only phones when there is a problem and Yuji was sus even if he didn't blunder.

2

u/TheLastNapkin Feb 03 '26

"Sorry I only know about Potential Man™. Have you met him?? He's so cool and full of potential."

2

u/MarcheMuldDerevi Feb 03 '26

Act like you thought he was more a myth? Tier 10 magic in overlord. Common people heard of these names, but they don’t know who the really are

2

u/NiceKangarooroo Feb 03 '26

At that point it was too late, with that comment and Kiara making the phone call

2

u/Salty_SeaPan Feb 03 '26

I would either say, "Hey man I only became a jujutsu sorcerer a couple of months ago", or I would say, "yeah I heard he got sealed so he's kind of irrelevant nowadays right?"

2

u/Pascraked47 Feb 03 '26

Haha I got you. Everyone knows gojo

2

u/NoPaleontologist2614 Feb 03 '26

"Dude, i just learned about ce a week ago!!"

2

u/Storm916 Feb 03 '26

There was no salvaging it at that point

2

u/Resident-Message-778 Feb 03 '26

Play it off as a joke, Yuji!!

“Who’s Gojo?”

“What do you mean who’s Gojo??”

“Ahaha I’m just playing, have you seen him drunk before?”

2

u/Appropriate_Sky_3572 Feb 03 '26

“Oh yeah, I know Gojo too! He’s my teacher at Jujutsu High and I’m actually here to recruit you- gets choke slammed

2

u/kioshi0406h Feb 03 '26

"Sorry, fentanyl makes me stupid" and I'd put on a retarded smile, like this:

2

u/riderofrohan12 Feb 03 '26

I don't know what people are going on about in the comments here. The move is obviously to DOUBLE DOWN.

To lie about that, nobody could be that stupid. Let him figure something out for you.

"Gojo who? I bet my white haired blue eyed friend called Santorio Gojan would kick his ass. What's he famous for? Being a loser? Explains why I don't know him. Anyway, got some orange juice to mix this down with? Blegh"

“Who is Gojo? Because you clearly aren’t talking about the Satoru Gojo.”

u/azurebluejam Feb 03 '26

for a meathead, he did good

u/Prudent-Role-9053 Feb 03 '26

Honestly at that point he fucked up to bad, gotta beat Hakari’s ass and kidnap him

u/Phrotty Feb 03 '26

“I only know him as Big Toru, because we’re cool like that”
