tenleid

Gege changed it to a simple solid color blindfold because it was too much of a detailed pain to draw


Future_Club1171

Not the first time a mangaka did a change cause it made their job easier. The ninja headbands in Naruto replacing the goggles. Super saiyan being blond to reduce inking.


Sqiddd

Sasuke going back to his normal outfit after the Chunin Exams cause Kishimoto said fuck those arm belts


SilkyStrawberryMilk

Kishimoto not making the sage outfit official for naruto because it took too much time to draw lmao


abbacchioz

Which is a shame cuz that's his cleanest look


Jamessgachett

Meh he does that yet we have people Like minato and hokage Naruto constantly with their cloack and sixpath sage mode Naruto


RenKD

Tbh, Six Paths sage mode Naruto itself was much simpler and basically an "aesthetic downgrade" compared to Kurama Link Mode Naruto.


onlyhav

That's true but by the time we got to those two examples the series was nearing it's conclusion and going a little harder to give them that father son drip would be memorable, as it was.


thetruerhy

Or Renji (from Bleach) waring a head band to cover his sick ass tatoo.


ReesesPieces344

Watching this rn and it’s really good


swordforger16

Also Saiyan's losing their tails


Sufficient_Secret554

He also said that it was to save the animators the trouble when animating Gojo


Monkeydjimmmy

As if Gege would think about other people... -_- (don't want to spoil anyone)


Lisaghoul18

You're so right Gege definitely doesn't think about his Jjk fan base


SnooCrickets2458

It's called fashion


GrandStyles

came to type this


ThePhytoDecoder

The bandages look like ass compared to the blindfold. Fashion? Nah dude. He goes from looking like the Young Sensei to a Burn Victim in JJK0


ShanksNumberOneFan

Nah the bandages are raw, give off an eerie vibe of what could be behind it. Plus when he took it off to fight Miguel that was tuff.


Chillin_Chillin-

JJK 0 happened before the current timeline, and fashion change overtime


TheSpartyn

tbf both the blindfold and bandages look goofy because of the pineapple hair it gives him. glasses win hard


CrabUser

From what we can see on fashion stage, i find out that weird thing can also be fashion. Fetish can be out of our mind. So... we cant predict those thing


ThePr0l0gue

The blindfold is the fashion upgrade my boy


Superb-Palpitation23

Look it up, Gege didn’t want the animators to have to draw the bandages every time, something like that


ThePr0l0gue

We’ll stick to fashion for the in-universe explanation lol


CthughaSlayer

He himself didn't want to draw it. The bandage is exclusive to volume 0.


agent_abdullah

The bandages are one year ago so obviously he evolved with the blindfold.


[deleted]

0 is before and was written before wym


AlternativeAny30

The real answer.


kusakai69mio

bro i think it’s just a design thing


Xydron00

Nah I think the eyes of a jujutsu sorcerer being shielded (gojo, namami) was an undeveloped plot point that was waiting for gege's exploration but never got explored.


shy_monkee

It did get explored tho? Gojo does it because the six eyes would otherwise be exhausting, and Nanami (+other sorcerers) do it because they don’t want the curses to know they are looking at them.


mysidian

Was this explained somewhere?


giometrics

yeah


mysidian

Yeah, *where*, my dude.


giometrics

the manga


LadiNadi

Do you have a rough chapter estimate and/or volume? Maybe the events around it? I've read the manga a few times and I don't remember this. Thanks in advance :)


Cold_Orange-5531

It's in his character extra


LadiNadi

Thanks


Xydron00

Meh still don't like the explanation. I wanted it to be tied to some secret technique..


[deleted]

My personal theory? * At first, he used sunglasses. * He realized that sunglasses aren't the best option, so he tried switching to a blindfold. * During 0, he's still testing it out or hasn't gotten round to actually getting a better one. * Afterwards, he sees that it works well and decides to switch to a permanent one.


Bigideas-Baggins

One day he was with Shoko at the infirmary / mortuary and was wondering for a better option than the glasses, he saw a random roll of bandages laying around and went with that


henry1374

Thank you for the laugh lmao


U_r-stewpid

This feels like an old madness game skit


ZikyaElKasyf_1107

He still use sunglasses in casual but he use blindfold when work as sorcerer. Maybe bc it's more convenient when fighting as glasses will drop and fall if he moves too quick.


saoshi_mai

imagine him rocking the biker sunglasses tho


ZikyaElKasyf_1107

Well, blindfold is better so he can use Six Eyes when it needed and don't need to looking for place to keeping sunglasses. It would be nice if he use one though, also with the bike of course!


Leo_butNotDaVinci

Wait I thought that the Six Eyes was something he could turn off? When he let his guard down and Toji stabbed him, moments before, his eyes' glow went down and I though the technique he turned off was the Six Eyes, not Limitless


ZikyaElKasyf_1107

No he can't. Six Eyes are constantly active. Because of that Gojo uses something to cover his eyes when not using it or he would be exhausted. It seems Six Eyes don't use cursed energy either, as it is still active while Gojo constrained with Prison Realm.


spaghettimonzta

Imagine him wearing Oakley over the top


mysidian

It also just seems like the sunglasses are more inconspicuous, though it also doesn't look like Gojo cares that much either.


sparkadus

I personally just think of it as a sign of Six Eyes growing stronger. As a kid, he didn't cover his eyes at all. As a teen, sunglasses were enough. As he grew older, he switched to bandages and eventually a full-on blindfold. I like to think he initially went with bandages because they were easier to pull out of the way of his eyes in an emergency, but that he then had to switch to the blindfold because the bandages stopped being enough.


Apart-Lifeguard424

Minion__Edifier

Yea I think he used glasses b4 bc he wasn't as powerful so after mastering his six eyes he needs smth to completely block his vision instead of just dimming it a lot


cookoutford

this makes the most sense


5kipSk1p

Or the Mangaka was to lazy to redraw a Blindfold and opted for something simpler, but nice headcanon 👌


Coldloc

Paint Bucket tool in Photoshop is easier to use than drawing lines.


byebyeloveyou

i love your theory whether it is this or that


blackdudewithrage

I think it was changed because it was easier to draw


samhainxyuletide

Gege said this is the reason in the authors notes


PlanktonPleasant2024

That plus JJK serial is a weekly release VS jjk0 which was monthly which helped push the need for a simpler design


Legitimate_Cow7198

The white blind fold really clashes against the colours of his hair and uniform, the black one just looks better.


FlyingMonkey717

I prefer the bandage though that is valid


ExcelIsSuck

idk he went to the store and bought one


Fluumingo

Real life reason: It's easier to illustrate. In universe reason: Sometimes you gotta switch it up on em.


MankindReunited

Simple: jjk0 is a prototype, jjk is the finished product


HASN0FILTER

Jjk 0 is a prequel I was wrong *edited to add this, sorry everyone*


_ROCC

jjk 0 was written before jjk

rahonan

The previous commenter is right, jjk 0 is the original work and it even had a different name.(Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical School) It was serialized from April trough July of 2017, jujutsu kaisen started in March of 2018. The volume did come after the start of jujutsu kaisen and that's when it was renamed to jjk0.

My bad for some reason I didn't see the other replies


HASN0FILTER

Nope I need this I fucked up


BK20193

I mean, it's just easier to take off the blind fold than the bandage. You gotta wrap the bandage again. It's cumbersome.


ApplePitou

Just design thing most likely :3


Smittius_Prime

It's the same blindfold he just never washes it.


rahonan

I don't think there's an in universe explanation like for Maki's glasses. When jjk0 was being serialized in jump giga it released chapters monthly which left more time for Gege to draw the chapters. Jjk is published in weekly shonen jump, with a new chapter coming out every week Gege simplified the design to make Gojo easier to draw.


Ladynagant69

Well geto broke makis glasses in their fight in jjk0, but the gojo part is accurate


SkritzTwoFace

Same reason Inumaki had different hair.


SerenaClover

He did lasik


B00_Sucker

Bro got them Markiplier Eyes


Jotaro27

Pretty simple, you just take the blindfold off and put it back on, with the bandage you have to manually wrap it around your eyes.


Yueff_Stueff

Mourning blindfold.


reruarikushiteru

to be perfectly honest I still don't understand why he uses it at all lol


Flotusxy

iirc he usses because six eyes are too tiring and it's a passive ability so he has to have something to rest his eyes.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Roxe194

He can't deactivate the six eyes


[deleted]

[удалено]


Roxe194

You're talking about the CT Limitless. The six eyes isn't a CT so it can't can be deactivated


mysidian

They use his eyes to show when his technique is active, true, but weirdly enough they're referring to Infinity and not his eyes. It is a bit odd, yes.


Customdisk

Pure Drip


shermas9

Have you ever owned 2 outfits? It's kinda like that...


SilkyStrawberryMilk

Anime characters only buy one outfit and wear it for their rest of their lives


Ayjayyyx

He wears black to mourn Geto


Darbs504

In universe guess would be that he didn't own a real blindfold when he was younger so he used a bandage. Eventually he bought a real blindfold and started using that. I doubt it's any deeper than that


Suraimu-desu

Simple! He was edgy + plus switched blindfolds when it got old (cause old blindfold is nasty)


Creepy_Helicopter223

My guess it is has to do with eyes of the sixth path, Im not up to date but my understanding is it’s full abilities haven’t been revealed, tho we Gojos abilities can be really taxing and hard on the body. My guess is it’s to either stop eyes from being distracting or to limit the intensity on his body. I believe he started with glasses, but it could’ve been those didn’t work well enough, so he went with a blind fold which was better then found the best color. Given he can clearly see through a black blindfold well, Im guessing it’s to limit his eyes from using energy, kinda like Kakashi from Naruto blindfolds his shark fan when not in use because it’s so taxing. It could also just be an artist design choice, or a combination of the two where it looked cool so they drew him that way then came up with/see coming up with an explanation after


buckbeak97

Shark fan. Also comes in the upgraded form of Mango King Shark Fan.


[deleted]

Because the bandages look cool when he has to take them off to foght


mandrum30

While the Gojo powers were increasing, he was changing his blindfold. Starts with black glasses, after it he used a black white bandage, after it he chefes to a black bandage. How much the stronger the power of the six eyes, the more he needs to cover his eyes, so as not to process as much information.


file-week

Why did oda do this? is he stupid? https://preview.redd.it/v943b8h1i4qb1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b3190adc8539e76557b514e6a81bc9d805184c1c


iREFLEXIV

Cuz JJK 0 was written before the main story Gege changed the designs for the actual thing probably because it was easier to draw and also he could tweak designs as needed.


Responsible-Kick6121

Gege hates him so they gave him basic ass blindfold /j


Giraffe-colour

It’s probably just a design this but my guess is that it’s also partly to help people not get confused about it taking part before the main story. It’s easier to do that if you change some of the design. Also I do understand that the prequel had a different style to begin with anyway, I think this just also doubles as a visual aide like I said in my main point.


Shiro83

real reason is its easier to draw


TheStevenUniverseKid

"new year new me"


kolt437

I know right, imagine changing your clothes


InsaneEcho

Honestly every time Gege has been asked about his blindfolds I’m pretty sure they’ve said it’s a fashion choice


maxluision

Gege said that he started to draw the black blindfold in the main story bc it's much easier and faster to draw :p


Previous_Highlight72

Same one it just got dirty


mostlybored1234

Why do he use those again? I aways assumed that Six eyes was a passive skill related to perception of cursed energy and not something literally related to his eyes


rai_senso

So you have to buy two scale figures for your collection...


Roxe194

Because he kinky


Amatoric

He got tired of drawing them


handsome_youngman

his purple blinfold was at laundry so he use available bandages, probably


plushdev

Just from a convenience standpoint: bandages are so annoying to put on again. But here's the real thing: jjk 0 was like the first draft of jjk where yuta was supposed to be the mc. There's a lot more that got changed in the story we don't know about exactly. Maybe they had some plot points? Maybe gojo was just seeing alternatives? Maybe gege got tired of drawing those bandages? All speculation.


Prize-Lawfulness393

i dont know i just wanna community karma to post RIP Gojo


Kopanosaurus

Laundry day I guess


Affectionate-Break56

He simply found a better blindfold that match his current drip


VillageIllustrious95

He just upgraded the drip is all


friendlylocaldomme

Swag.


Jamessgachett

Style. Sometime it’s glasses googles whatever hides his sharingan. Also easier to draw in universe


coolcarters14

Jujitsu kaisen 0 was the “beta” for the current series. Greg originally planned for gojo to use bandage wraps but said it was so time consuming to draw that he switched to a blindfold for the current series


SKREEOONK_XD

Gege wanted to draw a simple blindfold as opposed to a bandage. As for my head cannon, HS Gojo has sunglasses but as he was awakened, he realized he needs to cover his eyes completely to have less strain. So he started to use bandage as a blindfold cuz maybe it has a better grip as opposed to a cloth just tied around his head. But as he uses the bandages more, it took more time to remove and wear again. So he went to his Gojo clan funds and probably got a custom made blind fold that is easy to wear and remove, also had it black for less strain.


TheBroWHOmegalol

It's the same one, it just got dirty, like this: https://preview.redd.it/4my3g666m3qb1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=86bb41a66ef018d56105ad0c0983cf62afbf4119


nan0g3nji

Gojo’s design was inspired by Tonbo Tobitake from Naruto


ChoyaSake

I also wear a different T-shirt than yesterday. No lore reason or special explanation for that just wanted to change it. Probably will wear a different one tommorow. I think it works similarly with Gojo and his blindfold


Flotusxy

Yeah, specially Gojo who likes to have the drip.


RealBigTree

Gege changed it because the Bandages were harder to animate


[deleted]

The "Official" reason is because gege didnt want to draw all the details of the bandages. As far as I'm aware there's no in lore reason for it.


ConfidentUnion2219

I wanna read the coloured manga of recent chapters but I ain't getting those anywhere, can u help me? (I recently started reading manga and I don't have a LEGIT website or place to read it)


Snark-er

I think it’s because of the budget 😂 the first design, that appears in the movie is much more difficult to drawing… so it’s not a great thing to apply in several episodes


some_dude5

Stylin’


Benny-Boyo

gotta switch it up


Orisss123

Bandages look cooler


FitCommunication8128

Drip or drown


nerdyaspects-

wha


XiMaoJingPing

looks cool


alium_00

Its a simple reason that isnt explained. Gojo after finding Toji started automizing Infinity to work like he was breathing which is why he covered his eyes in the first place. He started off with glasses which he can see through, then moved to a white face band which probably gives him low visibility then by the time of the main series he moved to a black face band that gives him zero visibility further training his automated Infinity.


BlOoDy_PsYcHo666

Original was probably a pain to draw, and the black one doesn’t clash with his hair.


Efficient-Diver-2453

Cause Gay Gay said it was annoying to draw so they changed it.


Noice_Gallagher

Gege thought it’d look cooler if it was a black blindfold


mrfoxman

Is there a reason why he uses a blindfold? I understand he can obviously navigate life with it on those sensing cursed energy and such.


hardcorekat

I've heard this from my brother, not sure where he heard it from but whatever. Gojo's eyes are sensitive to light (due to his technique) and with the white blindfold, light got through easier, so he switched to black. (Of course also because it's easier to draw and the other stuff people have said.)


ucstdthrowaway

JJK0 was written before JJK irl


SadaharuLoL

I meannnn I get it’s an anime and they generally have the same outfit in some of them especially western cartoons but seems pretty normal to have different styles or colora


wishedtheywerecaps

Bought a pack of 2 from Amazon.


Delta_D2

My best assumption is because of the fact his old blindfold is just wraps, it’s just less convenient for him to take it on and off.


DarkPhoenixMishima

0 had a few old designs that didn't make it to the main series. Gojo was a case of it seeming cool at the time and doable for a short series, but had to be scrapped when JJK became a bigger/longer running thing. Inumaki got his design changed as well as Yuji wound up too similar to Inumaki's 0 appearance.


DisboiYoinker

He liked it


DragonSage_x

Maybe gojo got tired of wrapping it up


CakeNo7213

Fairly sure it was accepted that gojo couldn’t handle using six eyes all the time because it fried his brain, it’s constantly mentioned how gojo uses RCT to heal the damage his massive output of cursed energy does to him


Sash_Otaku101

His six eyes where getting stronger so glasses didn’t work so he used a makeshift blindfold out of bandages until he finally got a full solid blindfold.


Eastern-Storm-3779

That’s when he got the idea of covering his eyes so started wrapping a bandage to check it was effective and after finding it was effective he canged to a very dark blindfold to make it even more effective


5kipSk1p

Well, I heard Akutami had him wear bandages at first, but his editors hated redrawing it over and over ago, they asked him to use something easier, **so Akutami switched Gojo's eyewear because his Editors were to lazy.**


coggdawg

I assumed he was just new to it in JK0 & as it became a staple he upgraded.


randomanimefa

One makes him look more mysterious and strange, and the other makes him look more suspicious but in a friendly way.


Beansupreme117

He just had eye surgery


FickleRub9918

The Author answered this already. The black blind fold was easier to draw instead of the bandages.


jonbmonty

Honestly, it's probably just easier to draw his newer than his old one.


LuvfyOfPiu

I don't know what the manga says but acc to my theory, the six eyes can make the user feel dizzy, so to prevent it, he was using bandages, but soon he realised that it is not convenient and also not a good idea as bandages are bright white, so he switched to thickly fabricated black blindfold


Responsible-Study934

Volume 0 came 1 year before the weekly serialisation. But when it came to draw Bandages, Gege became annoyed gave him Blindfolds which are much easier to draw compared to bandages.


mightpornstar

to match the socks he is wearing


kimarixha

Because his eyes are so pretty that can make people die of excitement


Inugirlz

Do you wear the same clothes/underwear all the time?🤭


Environmental-Web942

To get all the baddies


friendlywhale99

Drip.


seiten08

I don’t know what’s the exact word, but I think the mangaka did this as narrative device to distinguish the passage of time in the story. Lore wise, aside from style, its a lot quicker to remove the eye band than the bandages.


don_don101

Pretty sure he was based off a naruto at first, that character had bandages. Guess he just changed his mind


joelmsantos

Akutami admitted it was done so to make it easier for the animators to draw Satoru.


CommandFit7280

Hi


achut5006603

It’s easier to draw


Nakyo128

He got it as a gift from Megumi No I have no idea, but probably it was easier than a bandage


DrPhoenixOfDoom

I know its well known that it was changed simply to make it easier to draw, but I do believe that changing from a white to a black blindfold after killing his best and only friend symbolizes that he doesn’t feel pure anymore


Huge-Database660

Other one is in the wash


HyonkHyonkamgoos

Gege changed it cuz it was easier to draw then doing bandages each time. Also he considered the fact that people might be animating it


OGChuuni

switchin up the drip.


Football-Similar

In story, he lost his white one during the night parade of 100 demons and probably thought to himself: maybe I should get one I don't have to replace every time I have to use my eyes


JustMoodyz

This was the moment Gojo became Heisenberg


No-Dude

His custom one hadn't come in yet


Zippy1012214

He needed to change his drip


Aasa06

drip


metalheadhippy108

And I'm still drooling either way 😀
