So as it stands, One of the Pride and joys of the Gojo family the Six Eyes currently
[20]
stands at the pinnacle of the Jujutsu world as being the most powerful ocular jujutsu
[24]
in the entire series while also just making its users completely broken.
[30]
Because of its immense power, its appearance and its the feats of its users, the Six Eyes
[34]
have captured the undivided attention of both the characters in the series and Jujutsu Kaisen's
[39]
audience.
[40]
This busted little ability made its debut in chapter 15 of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga
[44]
and Episode 7 of the animated series.
[46]
With Sotaru Gojo unleashing them on his opponent to serve as a teaching moment for his student
[51]
Itadori Yuji.
[52]
The debut of the Six Eyes was explosive to say the least, with Gojo using its abilities
[57]
to outright immobilize his opponent with minimal effort.
[60]
His Six Eyes coupled with the usage of Domain Expansion granted him an unavoidable instant
[65]
victory.
[66]
Even though Gojo already outclassed his opponent in every way immaginable, the power of the
[70]
Six Eyes allowed him to do away with fighting entirely and just casually walk up to his
[74]
opponent and rip his entire head off.
[77]
Unlike eye abilities in Shonen such as Naruto, while the Six Eyes can be inherited by any
[82]
member of the Gojo family along with The Limitless, only one user of the Six Eyes can exist at
[87]
a time.
[88]
With the one who possesses the Six Eyes being the only person capable of truly mastering
[92]
everything that The Limitless has to offer.
[93]
Given that the user has some level of combat prowess possession of both the Six Eyes and
[96]
The Limitless almost automatically makes someone one of the most powerful and capable Jujutsu
[101]
Sorcerers of their generation.
[107]
All of this serves as a direct explanation to Gojo saying “Throughout Heaven and Earth,
[112]
I alone am the honored one.”
[114]
Even though the current wielder of the Six Eyes Satoru Gojo holds many smiliarities to
[118]
Naruto's Kakashi, the creator of the series Gege Akutami assures his readers that this
[123]
is not where he draws his inspiration from.
[125]
The significance of the Six Eyes can be found in its alternative name of the Rikugan, Which
[129]
takes its origins from the words Rokujintsu and Gogan.
[132]
Rokujintsu represents the six divine powers in Buddhism that are said to be held by Buddha
[137]
and the Buddhist saints.
[138]
These powers include The Divine Foot power which allows you to move freely wherever you
[143]
want to go.
[144]
Divine ear power which allows you to hear all sounds on earth.
[148]
Divine mind reading power, Divine fate telling power to know the history and fate of all
[152]
people, and Divine Enlightenment power which is to know everything and arrive at a deep
[157]
awareness of the world.
[159]
With Gogan meaning the eyes that contain the five senses needed to know the truth.
[163]
Some of these can be applied to our current Six Eyes user directly based on some of his
[167]
feats in the series.
[168]
All of these things considered, if there is a direct correlation between these concepts
[171]
and the Six Eyes, it would mean that we can still expect to see some growth and new abilities
[176]
from them as the series moves forwards.
[178]
Although this does give some insight as to the general concept of the Six Eyes, it doesn't
[182]
give you a complete picture of its abilities in the series.
[185]
As mentioned before the Six Eyes has the ability to amplify the capabilities of one that uses
[190]
The Limitless down an atomic level, allowing their mastery of The Limitless techniques
[194]
to reach levels not possible otherwise.
[196]
The Six Eyes essentially makes it so that their wielder never really runs out of cursed
[200]
energy which is an incredibly powerful advantage to have in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, this
[204]
is because The Six Eyes processes cursed energy so proficiently that the amount of cursed
[209]
energy that's lost when a user activates an attack is basically close to zero, being outpaced
[215]
by their own natural rate of cursed energy regeneration.
[217]
The Six Eyes also allow their users to not only see cursed energy in extreme detail,
[222]
but also allows them to see the flow of cursed energy itself.
[225]
This essentially gives them a head start on recognizing the upcoming attacks of an enemy
[229]
by being able to pinpoint where their cursed energy is being focused in their bodies.
[234]
It's kind of like being able to see slightly ahead in the future in all of your fights
[238]
forever.
[239]
One of the other Broken abilities of The Six Eyes are that they grant you increased mental
[243]
and visual prowess.
[244]
Turning your brain into nothing short of a super computer with them being able to see
[249]
people, objects and cursed energy signatures clearly from several kilometers away and processing
[256]
the positions and identities of everything in view instantly.
[259]
The user's mind becomes so adept at processing the vast amount of information that the Six
[264]
Eyes is constantly feeding them that one moment in reality for a normal human being is equivalent
[269]
to one minute worth of time in the users brain.
[273]
Though the incredible amounts of work that a person's brain would have to do to keep
[276]
up with The Six Eyes would usually cause an immense amount of stress, this is offset by
[281]
The Six Eyes ability to calculate a reverse cursed technique to automatically keep their
[285]
brain fresh at all times.
[287]
So long story short when paired with The Limitless, the user basically becomes God.
[292]
Even though all of this sounds absolutely wonderful, and honestly it is.
[298]
There is one drawback to having this God like power bestowed upon you.
[302]
Even with all of the benefits listed above The Six Eyes can still tire out its user a
[307]
bit more easily unless their eyes remain covered, only being fully unleashed when their true
[311]
power is needed.
[314]
This is the reason why characters such as Gojo and presumably other users of the Six
[318]
Eyes are frequently seen wearing blindfolds, shades or something heavy enough to cover
[322]
their eyes from constantly exerting such an immense amount of power.
[332]
We could go much deeper into the interactions that The Six Eyes has with The Limitless and
[337]
all of the possibilities that there are there, but for the sake of time I'll save that for
[340]
another video in the future.
[345]
Make sure to comment below on any kinds of breakdowns that you'd like to see next, and
[349]
as always have a great day guys.
