The anime version of Gojo seems smaller than the manga one.
It might have been done to increase the contrast between his powers and his body.
It might also be just a clothes issue.
In the world of Jujutsu Kaisen physical powers are not as important and appreciated as the cursed techniques. It doesn’t matter if you’re 6 feet tall and have the muscles of Dwayne Johnson. If your jujutsu is of poor quality, you will be useless on the battlefield. However, it doesn’t mean that we can’t notice such things.
Gojo is smaller?
Redditors have commented on Gojo’s constitution and mentioned it looking much smaller in the anime than it was in the manga. He’s too scrawny, and they say he looked twice as big in the original source, while the anime made him lose 50 pounds or so.
Although it feels like such a dumb and unimportant issue (especially in a series like Jujutsu Kaisen), body types are crucial. We understand that the skills and sorcery do not correlate with weight, but it’s obvious that bigger characters look more dangerous. Imagine a bodybuilder and a scrawny kid in front of you. Both of them promise to kill you. Which threat will you take more seriously? Gojo is one of the strongest characters in the entire series, so fans just want his physique to match the threat he possesses.
Is it to increase the impact?
However, contrasts are also peculiar. That’s why a lot of horrors use an outdated trope of little girls turning out to be monsters or evil masterminds. You should know for now that if you’re driving in the dark and you see a little girl in a white dress on the side of the road, never stop.
So could it be the same with Gojo? He’s not ripped, but still extremely powerful. When he says that he’s going to win in his humorous voice, you don’t feel the instant danger. But then Gojo does something impressively badass, and you’re not so sure anymore. This contrast only makes it more spectacular. So maybe it’s a good thing that the anime changed his body a bit.
But a couple of fans add that the anime hasn’t really changed anything, and this is an issue of clothes, and not of the body type. Gojo’s anime clothes are just not as baggy as his manga ones, it’s as simple as that. So if you were worried about his body due to power (or horny) reasons, you might relax.
No bodyshaming, just an observation.
