I’ve watched this show like a million times, and I have to say, I don’t think Gojo plays favorites. He has a weird way of caring about all his students. But if I have to guess, I’d say he’s closest to Yuji, Megumi, and Yuta. Also, I think Megumi has a special place in Gojo’s life.
Yuji just vibes with Gojo, It’s like he actually gets Gojo’s weird jokes and stuff. Not many people do. And Megumi, he’s been around Gojo forever. There’s history there. But Gojo treats them all pretty much the same.
Yuji Itadori
He’s our main character And you can just tell Gojo sees something in him. When Yuji ate that finger, Gojo was instantly all in on this kid. Even though Yuji knew nothing about jujutsu, Gojo saw his potential right away.
It’s great how much Gojo put the time to train Yuji. He believes Yuji might control Sukuna someday.
Gojo’s always got Yuji’s back. But he’s not soft on him either. It’s like he’s trying to toughen Yuji up. And the way Gojo believes in Yuji’s good heart, that tells you everything about how much he trusts the kid.
Megumi Fushiguro
That’s a whole other story. Their relationship is complicated. It all started with Megumi’s dad, Toji. After that whole mess, Gojo kinda became like a stand-in dad for Megumi.
Gojo’s super protective of Megumi. He’s been keeping him away from all that Zenin family drama. He knows everything about Megumi’s past, and that just makes them closer. He’s always pushing Megumi to be better, break his limits and all that.
Yuta Okkotsu
If you’ve seen the prequel movie you might know, he has strong power, and Gojo understands it instantly.
Watching Yuta grow under Gojo’s teaching is something else. He’s gone from this scared kid to someone who really gets what being a jujutsu sorcerer means. And Gojo, He trusts Yuta completely. Thinks he could be one of the greats someday. That’s saying something, coming from Gojo.
