The influence of the anime industry throughout the world is inexcusably large. Shows such as Jujutsu Kaisen have showcased their impact, especially through Gojo Satoru. The way in which he has grown worldwide made him more than just a character. Jujutsu Kaisen became a huge success ever since the manga came out but the anime helped it grow manifolds.
Moreover, following the event of his demise, things took such a turn that globally he became an icon and not just a fictional character. Gege Akutami has openly admitted that Gojo’s return is unlikely. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that the effect he had on people would fade away. In fact, the global outreach of the character is one that is commendable with how openly every single fan wears his honor.
Gojo Satoru Enters the Paris Olympics
Sam Reardon, Laviai Nielsen, Alex Haydock-Wilson and Amber Anning recently bagged the third position, winning the bronze medal in the 4×400 Mixed Relay Race. The team also set a national record by finishing with a record time of 3:08.01. Not only that, but this also marked the first athletic win for Great Britain in the Paris Olympics.
The Netherlands bagged the first position with the United States of America following second while also setting the World Record in qualifying with a 3:07.74 time stamp. As the four teammates of Great Britain went on to celebrate their win, there was one moment that captured not only every single viewer’s attention but all those who weren’t even keeping up with the events found themselves captivated by the scene before them.
As they celebrated their win, they started creating the hand sign for Gojo’s Domain Expansion. The very act caused an even bigger uproar as they shared their win with the one guy who bluffed his own. His impact wasn’t just on anime fans for their anime dreams but also on those who aim for the sky and soar.
The Impact of Gojo Satoru
Gojo Satoru has always been one of the most lovable anime characters. He isn’t just one to stand out in Jujutsu Kaisen but also one to hold his head up high amongst other bigger projects as well. His impact is one that has fans grieving his loss and celebrating his wins.

Whether it is through Megan Thee Stallion’s cosplays and music or the murals and shrines, he has always been one character whose popularity seems to grow no matter his status as dead or alive. Why that persists to be iconic is because other mangas and anime that have created such an atmosphere stand amongst the big 3 of Shonen or Dragon Ball.
It is through iconic poses and dialogues that the anime industry is ever-growing. The global impact helps it shine out in ways people couldn’t have even imagined decades ago. What anime was before cannot even be compared to what it is now.
Jujutsu Kaisen is available to watch on Crunchyroll.
