0 0

Summary Gojo's iconic quote has become a meme, while simultaneously showcasing his unwavering confidence and power.

Yuji's determination to fight evil curses highlights his growth and strong character development.

Nanami's quote on the challenges of adulthood emphasizes his philosophy and selfless sacrifices.

Jujutsu Kaisen is filled with inspiring, heartfelt, and memorable quotes. The dialogue can get surprisingly deep and thought-provoking, revealing a lot about the characters and their relationships with each other. An anime series may not be where most people would turn to hear truths about human life or philosophical musings, but Jujutsu Kaisen is certainly packed with these kinds of quotes.

From iconic quotes from Gojo, to impactful statements on the reality of growing up from Nanami, Jujutsu Kaisen covers a variety of important topics. The series' mangaka, Gege Akutami, has been praised for handling emotional subjects so well and with such understanding and insightful commentary. Aside from the expected action sequences, the series features relatable themes such as love, the clash between good and evil, finding one's purpose, and the necessity of protecting human lives. The fight scenes are incredible indeed, but in many instances, the dialogue hits even harder.

10 "Nah, I'd Win."

Spoken by Gojo Satoru

This iconic quote has become somewhat of a meme, with fans taking the phrase and pasting it into all kinds of humorous situations. "Nah, I'd win," was spoken by Gojo in chapter 221 of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga. The villain Kenjaku questioned Gojo's chances of victory against Sukuna in the midst of a tense fight. Remembering what he told his students before, Gojo's response was uttering this astoundingly confident line.

Unfortunately, he was ultimately defeated by Sukuna a few chapters later, in chapter 236. However, this quote proves that the strongest sorcerer's confidence in his abilities never wavered, and he fought with all of his might until the bitter end, holding his own against the intimidating cursed spirit for quite a while. Sukuna is the most powerful curse, and even Gojo could not survive a fight with the evil being, but his efforts were respectable and prove his bravery and sorcery skills. Regardless of Gojo's eventual loss, the quote still reigns supreme as one of Jujutsu Kaisen's most memorable.

9 "Throughout Heaven And Earth, I Alone Am The Honored One."

Spoken by Gojo Satoru

Arguably the most famous Jujutsu Kaisen quote of all time is Gojo's bold proclamation: "Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am the honored one." He proclaimed this phrase during a battle with the menacing assassin, Toji Fushiguro, after awakening to his true power. Toji believed the Jujutsu sorcerer was dead, but Gojo was undefeated and took down the assassin in the end, proving his overpowered status.

This quote is actually not an original Gojo quote, but originates from the Buddha. As the character rose into a golden sky, hovering above a stunned Toji, he felt truly free and empowered and thus, quoted these words. At this point in the series, the hero was virtually untouchable, able to take down anyone he pleased. This quote only goes to further prove this fact and warn Gojo's enemies that he is not one to be messed with.

8 "And I'll Keep Killing Curses Until I Rust Away. Because That Is My Role In This War."

Spoken by Yuji Itadori

Yuji Itadori is one of the most passionate and driven protagonists in anime. Even Sukuna himself has called the boy "unbreakable" as nothing seems to diminish his spirit and dedication to taking down evil curses. This quote comes from a speech he delivered during a fight with the evil cursed spirit, Mahito. During the impassioned monologue, Yuji revealed his true intentions to Mahito, asserting that he would "keep killing curses until [he] rust[s] away."

Mahito was one of Jujutsu Kaisen's most horrific villains with a sky-high death toll, including beloved sorcerers like Nobara and Nanami. However, in season 2, Yuji finally managed to back the curse into a corner he could not escape from. Yuji began his journey as a fairly timid individual who was hesitant to kill, so this moment marks a true turning point and sign of growth in his character journey. Gone are the days of Yuji holding back when fighting curses, because going forward, he promises to annihilate as many as possible in the hopes of saving humanity from evil.

7 "Finding More Fallen Out Hair On Your Pillow, Watching Your Favorite Stuffed Bread Disappear From Convenience Stores... The Accumulation Of Those Little Despairs Is What Makes A Person An Adult."

Spoken by Nanami Kento

The transition from childhood to adulthood is often a difficult and emotionally taxing one. No quote better sums up this fact of life than these profound words from one of the most popular Jujutsu Kaisen characters, Nanami Kento. At this moment, Nanami listed a handful of frustrating and disheartening parts of growing up and explained that becoming an adult does not consist of one big moment, but rather the amalgamation of these small annoyances.

One of Nanami's greatest goals throughout the series was protecting the youth from danger and from losing their childish joy. He even sacrificed himself to Mahito to protect the younger sorcerers, passing on the torch to Yuji in a heartbreaking final moment. Out of all of Nanami's quotes, this one perhaps summarizes his philosophy the best. His sentiment is that adulthood is often thankless and truly difficult, so shielding the youth from those harsh realities of life for as long as possible is crucial and must be prioritized.

6 "Love Is The Most Twisted Curse Of All."

Spoken by Gojo Satoru

The most poetic quote in Jujutsu Kaisen was spoken by none other than the series' strongest sorcerer. The quote comes from Jujutsu Kaisen 0 and was the result of Gojo witnessing the complex love between Jujutsu sorcerer Yuta and the reborn curse Rika. This attitude also applies to Gojo's own life, particularly his traumatic ordeal with his previous best friend, Geto Suguru.

It is quite obvious that Gojo cared for Geto more than anyone in the world and was absolutely crushed to have to witness the downfall of his fellow sorcerer. Although this quote was not uttered in relation to that situation, it is certainly easy to also apply Gojo's musings to his tumultuous relationship with Geto that "cursed" him emotionally and mentally, leaving long-lasting trauma. Love is a complicated, but necessary and meaningful part of life, and Gojo is clearly no stranger to this fact.

5 "Are You The Strongest Because You're Satoru Gojo, Or Are You Satoru Gojo Because You're The Strongest?"

Spoken by Geto Suguru

Gojo's previous closest friend and fellow Jujutsu sorcerer, Geto Suguru, asked him an intense and thought-provoking question. This scene is often misinterpreted and can definitely cause some confusion, as opinions on the true meaning behind Geto's riddle-like question vary. However, it seems as if Geto was asking Gojo if he is powerful purely because of his status as Gojo, who is known as the strongest sorcerer.

If that is the case, then that would mean that his physical strength and Jujutsu powers are his only assets, reducing his entire identity as a person to what he can do on the battlefield. When the layers of Geto's words are peeled back to reveal these insinuations, it becomes clear why the simple question impacted Gojo so heavily. Although he carries himself with an air of cocky confidence, he is insecure at his core, and Geto knew how to hit him right where it would hurt with this remark.

4 “I Don’t Know How I’ll Feel When I’m Dead, But I Don’t Want To Regret The Way I Lived.”

Spoken by Yuji Itadori

This Yuji Itadori quote provides some solid life advice that anyone could apply to their own situation. Since his first introduction to Jujutsu Kaisen, Yuji has proven that his greatest passions in life are protecting those who need it and sticking up for his friends and family. Inspired by the final words of his grandfather, Yuji vowed to build a life that would make himself and his family proud.

This bold quote further solidifies that point, showing Yuji's unstoppable resolve to face danger head on. The hero doesn't want to leave the world with any regrets, and it is this determination that leads him to pursue the path of a Jujutsu sorcerer, so he can help others. A less purposeful individual would have been too terrified to consume Sukuna's fingers, but Yuji sees actions like these as his duty to the world and to himself. He never stops pushing his own limits and relentlessly saving others, transforming into a curse-killing machine who shocks even the curses themselves.

3 "There Are Only So Many Seats Open In My Life, And I Don't Want To Let My Heart Be Swayed By Anyone Who's Not Sitting In One Of Them... Of Course, There Are Also People Like You Who Bring Their Own Seat And Sit Down."

Spoken by Nobara Kugisaki

Nobara Kugisaki is one of Yuji Itadori's best friends. Although her demeanor was somewhat cold and reserved at first, she quickly warmed up to him and Megumi, and the trio of Jujutsu High classmates became inseparable. This line was spoken to Yuji, as she expressed her appreciation to the boy for taking the time to get to know her and earn a place in her life.

Nobara is unsurprisingly pretty choosy with who she allows into her inner circle, because she has lost friends and suffered in the past. She takes a somewhat standoffish approach to life and relationships, not letting those who aren't close to her affect her self-perception or feelings. However, Yuji is someone she can let her guard down around, care for, and truly relate to, and this quote shows how grateful she is for that unexpected and special bond in an otherwise cruel world.

2 "My Six Eyes Tell Me You're Suguru Geto, But My Soul Knows Otherwise."

Spoken by Gojo Satoru

This Jujutsu Kaisen quote is positively heartbreaking and reveals how close Gojo and Geto really were before Geto fell into the clutches of evil and Kenjaku got his hands on him. Gojo spoke these words during the emotionally distressing and violent Shibuya arc. He was stunned to meet "Geto" and realized it was not actually his previous best friend, but Kenjaku using his body as a vessel. Gojo noticed almost instantly that the man before him was not who he claimed to be due to his keen senses, specifically his Six Eyes ability.

This moment is one of the few times in the series where Gojo has completely lashed out in a passionate display of anger. Once his Six Eyes skill revealed Kenjaku's true identity, Gojo was horrified and shocked to his core. This quote reveals his true care and never-ending love for Geto, as well as his desire to keep Geto's body free of the evil curse and his malicious actions, so his best friend may rest in peace.

1 "Nonetheless, I Must Walk Ahead Of My Little Brothers. That's Why I'm Strong."

Spoken by Choso

Choso Kamo is a perfect example of what a caring sibling should be, and this quote gets that point across perfectly. The powerful Death Painting Womb fights relentlessly to protect his brothers. Even after the deaths of his younger brothers, it was his love for them that spurred him on. Once he met Yuji and realized they were brothers as well, he began to strive to provide a good example, shield him from danger, and mentor him.

Choso is selfless nearly to a fault, and allows his devotion to his role as big brother to motivate him to become the best version of himself. His words are certainly inspirational and will definitely resonate with anyone who has a sibling, especially those who are slightly overprotective and extremely loving siblings like Choso. Although he was introduced to Jujutsu Kaisen as a villain, he quickly morphed into one of the most heroic and kindhearted characters in the series, fighting for good alongside his beloved brother, Yuji.
