In addition to being the strongest, both Gojo Satoru and Hajime Umemiya are also good mentor figures. Gojo is a teacher at Jujutsu High School. He has the obligation to guide his students, such as Itadori Yuji, Fushiguro Megumi, and Kugisaki Nobara.

Unlike Gojo who works as a teacher, Umemiya is still attending school. Nevertheless, he has a great responsibility as the leader of Bofurin and to protect the city of Makochi.

Interestingly, Gojo and Umemiya share the same principle. They both strongly encourage their students to enjoy their youth. In one scene of Jujutsu Kaisen 0, Gojo even said that no one should take away someone's youth. When giving a speech to the first-year students of SMA Furin, Umemiya also encourages Sakura and her friends to enjoy their youth.

5. Likes to Do Silly Things

Instead of appearing fierce as the strongest sorcerer of the modern era, Gojo actually has an easygoing and quite silly nature. For example, in the first episode of JUJUTSU KAISEN season 1. When facing Sukuna inside Yuji's body, Gojo was busy explaining about mochi kikufuku to Megumi. In addition, Gojo often bothers other people. He enjoys teasing Utahime and pranking Nanami.

Hajime Umemiya has the same nature and personality as Gojo. Sakura was even surprised when she found Umemiya gardening on the school rooftop. Not only that, Umemiya's silly behavior worsened when he met Kotoha. Sakura was even more amazed.

Although they enjoy doing silly things, both Gojo and Umemiya will undergo a 180-degree transformation when they enter the battlefield. They are capable of transforming into serious and intimidating figures.
