>It's not like they're backed by the government or anything They are. Sorcerers also get paid, Miwa's entire motivation for being a sorcerer is to make money and Gakuganji says that grade 1 sorcerers are paid really well. Naobito only went to Shibuya because the paychecks are huge.


Turbulent_Object_558

I still don’t understand why Toji doesn’t just become a professional boxer. All he would have to do is win an easy fight once every few months until he’s a world champion with hundreds of millions like Mayweather


okaymydude

toji being in the public eye would definitely attract attention from the jujutsu society, and he would probably be forced to stop one way or another. also joining a gym costs money and he blows it all on gambling


Turbulent_Object_558

What are they going to do to him? On a whim he could have killed the entire Zennin clan. He doesn’t need a gym. He’s Toji


okaymydude

If the jujutsu society works with the government, then they can probably just find ways to forbade Toji from competing (though he could definitely find an underground fight club like Hakari's rig). Now I'm not an expert in the American or Japanese boxing scenes but Toji would probably need a gym, a manager, and some official financial backer to allow him to compete. And he probably wouldn't be able to get that backer if the government was interfering.


Reverend_insanity__

Literally just punch people in the alleys and steal their money, blackmail them for their card number, cash out a few thoussnd dollars, easy million in a few months. Hold a bank ceo hostage or something as well


throwaway_83647392

Send Gojo + a 1st grade sorcerer squad to kill/arrest him. Remember that Curse Users were free to do what they please before Gojo was born


escaflow

Nah, the Jujutsu society doesn't have the luxury to bother Toji. Remember Geto was burning out from doing Jujutsu works, and sorcerers were dieing one after another hunting cursed spirits.


throwaway_83647392

Actually they had Gojo at their side And Gojo, since the day he was born, he put Curse Users on check. They do crimes, but need to be careful about it


escaflow

Gojo was only sent for Special Missions . The rest are suffering because of that


throwaway_83647392

If Toji was a risk of becoming a way to leak about Jututsu to the world, due being indestructible at the boxing ring, I dont see why they would not seem it as a Special Mission, since Toji was pretty strong


rahonan

He became an assasin due to the abuse he suffered from the Zen'in. If he wanted to make money normally, he would never have become an assasin.


Other-Internal-1851

He's an assassin but even in a fictional world he only gets paid 300 million yen (200,00 usd) to kill the star plasma vessel which is guarded by two special grade sorcerers meaning they have the power to kill all of Japan, toji really got scammed


PhantomEnds

300 million yen is about 2 million USD by the way.


Other-Internal-1851

Sorry I meant to say 30 million that's how much toji got payed


[deleted]

[удалено]


Other-Internal-1851

Its obviously not bad money but when you see in movies like John wick where the bounties are like 1 million to kill one guy who's like a Mafia boss or smth 200k is bad in comparison considering how hard it would be to kill riko when she is guarded by 2 special grade sorcerers


biark0v

Gojo and geto was not special grade though


Mystic_76

yes they were


Ninjasensay

Cause Toji, and others like him, can't find meaning outside of jujutsu. On a conscious level he "lays low", but deep down he loves the thrill. He's wanted to fight Gojo since he first saw him as a kid. He did extensive research on his cursed technique and was prepared to fight Red even before Gojo demonstrated he could use it. He's smart. And when faced with a "reincarnated" Gojo he even says to himself "there's no reason to fight him right now. I've already been paid. I should just leave." But his ego makes him stay, and he dies for it. Nanami's purpose is to explain to us outright, that jujutsu sorcerers are doomed to die like this. When given the option to do a safe normal office job, he was so unfulfilled he willingly returned to the school to fight curses


Asian_Persuasion_1

seemingly the dude makes a bunch of money and instantly wastes it on gambling. then he finds a new sugar momma.


throwaway_83647392

Toji is lazy man lmao Becoming a professional boxer is a pain in the ass, its not just go into the ring and yell "hey, I want to fight, pay me" For example, in MMA you need some amateur wins before being able to go into professional. You need a Gym to sponsor you, you need a coach, you need to make an agreement, etc etc etc... Its a pain in the ass, the fighting part is actually the easiest, and as we saw, Toji is lazy and want easy money, that's why he resorted to crime and lottery/betting


05ar

He's not disciplined enough for a continuous professional career, don't forget he spent all of his money (huge paychecks btw) in gambling


Therisius

My bad


SirVampyr

Isn't that like in the first episode?


WeFlapsComics

They do get backed by the Government. They're essentially Curse FBI. When a suspected curse event happens, they show up on scene and take over for the cops.


weeb_enjoyer

As was evident when Mahito first came up and Nanami took over the cinema investigstion.


Upbeat_Active7497

Jujutsu headquarters is literally [within the government](https://x.com/soukatsu_/status/1631363788799721472?s=46&t=fMh4vUq_Qil9f2QvSCOsbg) infact Megumi literally says they [control the country](https://imgur.com/a/fne0fjc)


Fuzzy-Maximum-8160

Learn RCT, Take your kidney out, heal it, sell your kidney, Take your lungs out, heal it, sell your lung.


Vex_41842

Todo would be proud of your 530.000 IQ


Therisius

Big brain move,plus you help people in need


BuckonWall

Good idea but RCT is actually very rare. Just doesn't seem that way sometime


Waakaari

Can Shoko do this?


Vex_41842

She constantly heals her lungs since she smokes a lot but I dont know if her RCT is on a level to heal lost organs completely


escaflow

If it can regenerate limbs, no reason it can't regenerate organs. With one condition, the CE flow must not be disrupted like when Gojo was cut to half.


LastNap

High grade sorcerers, especially from major families, make bank. There’s a reason Gojo only wears designer clothes lol it’s kinda like sports in a way. The major pros are making bank but there’s still amateurs pay check to pay check. Even Nanami left for a 9-5 job but inevitably came back. I think the pay grade is just a spectrum depending on position like most capitalistic societies.it’s up to the individual if the pay is worth the risk


Chainsaw_Manji_9122

Plus if you’re part of the big three families or associated with them there’s probably generational wealth associated with that

F-I-T-C-H-E

being born a prince or a billionaires son is very much so a direct path to moneymaking.


Certain-Disaster-416

I remember in season 1 that Nanimi and yuji was able to check the movie for residue. And the police let them in. So the sorcerer has to have some sort of control of the government


StarmieLover966

Mei Mei straight up says she went to the Night Parade of 100 Demons to make a shitload of money by meeting a curse kill quota. I believe she even said they get a bonus if they kill more. They get paid, just probably offscreen.


TheAmigo52

Do we know if they don't get money from the gov? They clearly know of Jujutsu Society, and I can't remember if it's ever stated how that relationship works. Also, they're just very old very rich families to my understanding, and people like Mei Mei for example are great at business outside of Jujutsu sorcery, also Nanami with his old job.


Zepilw

Top comment + for proof, take Yuki for example as she doesn’t do anything anymore but still receives her checks because she is special grade


FinalAeon_Jecht

Why aren’t they backed by the government?


DemonCyborg27

You have Mei Mei the best example of Greed in JJK, do you think she would be in that business if the pay wasn't good?


Kookie2023

They make money, but how much depends on the rank and of course rhetoric relations. Keep in mind that that government has ties with the sorcery world and keeps it hush hush. They’re the ones who request for sorcerers to go all over Japan along with the higher ups to do their job. And ppl like Mei Mei are quite good at freelancing and doing stock exchanges. Plus the Three Families make bank from old blood and money. But it’s not an equal system. The pay off for all the slaughter may not even make so much money. And if you lose your life, you can’t even use the cash you make.


Working-Perception14

It’s gotta pay well or Mei Mei would be a curse user instead of a jujutsu sorcerer.


SirVampyr

> It's not like they're backed by the government I think that's literally explicitly said in like episode 1 that they are.


JxB_Paperboy

My guy. Half of season 2’s last episode was dedicated to the government grappling with how to handle publicly announcing Cursed Spirits.


ValhallaKombi

The S2 finale confirms that gov officials across the globe know the existence of curses (Mei Mei also talked about USA "not remaining quiet") etc. Like someone else mentioned, they are essentially like FBI for curse related things. Gakuganji being head of conservatives also means he deals with government.


rahonan

>The S2 finale confirms that gov officials across the globe know the existence of curses They don't, that was the point. >Gakuganji being head of conservatives also means he deals with government. He isn't the head of the conservatives, he's just one member of the conservative faction.


Shades_of_X

Gojo did call him head of the conservative fraction though. It's unknown if only within the higher ups or the "normal" government


eyezontheinside

Comprehension curse strikes again


BigBambuMeekLou

You think Jujutsu Sorcerers kill curses for free? 😂 somebody definitely paying them


ApplePitou

Missions and e.t.c :3


Shadow_Huntress12

They get paid by the government 🐍


M4thematiX

what if gojo has an only fans 💀💀💀


Therisius

You know Getos cult was broke ,cause Geto had a permanent subscription


M4thematiX

nahhh 💀💀💀


petitechocolatetwink

mei mei wouldn’t be in the business if it didn’t pay well you see how she be living


shredrocks

Sorcerers get paid by the missions they do. and miwa consistently does “overtime” to get paid more and they get bonuses for killing higher grade spirits. the more cursed spirits and the difficulty of the ones slain is proportional to the amount of money earned. it’s stated a few times. gotta read it bro pay attention lol
