As Kaien tapped the "Confirm" button, his heart tensed up with excitement.
On the system screen, a boundless blue sky dispersed, revealing a descending starry sky.
Countless streams of starlight gathered, forming ten shimmering stars.
They fell like meteors, trailing colorful comet tails—white, green, blue…
Even though Kaien knew the first few were always common trash, no one ever gave up hope on that very first pull.
What if… just what if it turned gold?
The critical moment came at draw number nine—
Blue!
"Damn!"
If the ninth pull had been purple, that would've triggered pity rate—guaranteeing a gold for the tenth. Even if it wasn't the jackpot, it'd still be worth it.
But now… no pity. He was sweating.
FWOOOSH—!
The final glimmer shot from the stars, trailing a brilliant golden comet tail.
"GOLD!!"
"Hahaha!! I got a gold!!"
Kaien jumped up with glee. Even though he'd drawn multiple legendary gold characters already, the thrill of seeing that golden flash never got old.
[...]
At that moment, the system itself felt like reporting this man for cheating.
How was this guy pulling gold every damn time?!
It even started doubting if there was a bug in its probability algorithm.
But upon inspection—nope! The odds were working as intended!
So how the hell was this punk pulling off such miracles?
Was he actually dating the Goddess of Luck?!
The draw animation ended.
Now came the real hype.
One by one, the cards flipped from back to front.
The early ones were just fodder—but Kaien was in a good mood. Even useless XP packs looked pleasing tonight.
Then, finally—
the golden character card flipped.
Kaien's breath hitched.
His heart raced.
His eyes widened with joy.
"It's him!!!"
The man on the card had a striking appearance—snow-white hair, white eyelashes, icy blue eyes misted like morning fog.
Tall, lean—over 190cm—dressed in sleek black uniform. Handsome to the extreme.
It was none other than—
Gojo Satoru from Jujutsu Kaisen.
The strongest jujutsu sorcerer of his era.
First-year homeroom teacher at Tokyo Jujutsu High.
A Special Grade Sorcerer—the man dubbed The Strongest.
From the very beginning, Gojo was set up as the top of the food chain.
And for the most part, he lived up to that hype…
Until the author butchered him in the manga.
Later in the series, Gojo—who once feared nothing—started chickening out against Sukuna.
By Chapter 236, he was shockingly defeated and cut in half.
And so, the fandom meme was born:
"Gojo Satoru? You mean… 2.5jo Satoru."
Honestly, Kaien was dumbfounded when he read that.
Who was the real protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen?
Yuji Itadori? Meh.
The trio's friendship and growth? Nah.
Everyone was reading for Gojo.
And yet, the author just cut him in half—and gave the final arc to some half-baked, pure-hearted mecha-riding latecomer.
From that point on, the story went off the rails.
Which, to be fair, was fine—because the series didn't last much longer.
Out of sight, out of mind.
For Kaien, JJK ended the moment Gojo admitted he wasn't as strong as Sukuna.
After that, it was just painful to watch.
Such a waste of potential.
Still… despite becoming 2.5jo, Gojo's power couldn't be denied.
Especially that iconic phrase:
"Domain Expansion!"
Possibly the coolest mechanic in the entire anime.
"Man… another guy who's almost as handsome as me."
Kaien admired the new card.
Power-wise, Gojo wasn't his strongest pull. But style-wise? Easily the coolest.
Officially described as a nearly perfect man—except for his personality. He could cook, clean, sing like a pro…
Kind of like Kaien, actually.
Plus, Gojo had unique abilities other cards didn't offer.
In certain situations, he'd be far more useful than even stronger characters.
Kaien carefully selected all the blue and lower rarity cards for recycling—double, no, triple checked to make sure he didn't accidentally click something important.
[Recycle selected cards?]
"Confirm."
[Recycle successful! Magic power increased!]
Kaien didn't feel much of a difference. In his system, magic ranks up in "half-stars"—like early, mid, and late stages in cultivation novels.
Going from six stars to seven stars required double the energy compared to the previous jump.
On average, it took three gold cards to move up a full star. Unless he was desperate, he wouldn't be sacrificing any of them.
He opened his Status Panel:
[Name: Kaien Blaze]
[Age: 19]
[Race: Human]
[Magic Power: ★★★★★★]
[Magic: Take Over Magic]
[Character Cards:
Ulquiorra Cifer (Gold),
Yoriichi Tsugikuni (Gold),
Toji Fushiguro (Gold),
Edward Newgate (Gold),
Minato Namikaze (Gold),
Gojo Satoru (Gold),
Portgas D. Ace (Purple)]
[Current Draw Tickets: 5]
Looking at that lineup of gold cards…
Kaien felt very satisfied.
Having a system truly made a man feel invincible.
With five tickets stored up, just five more and he could do another 10x pull.
And now came the best part—
"Full Take Over: Gojo Satoru!"
Kaien's body began to change.
First, his black hair turned snow white. His eyes shifted into misty azure blue, the legendary Six Eyes passed down through the Gojo Clan.
It was basically a Kekkei Genkai—just like in Naruto.
Functionally, it was similar to the Byakugan.
It granted 360-degree vision, could see far distances, and wasn't blocked by physical objects.
It let him instantly identify curses or sorcerers, see through techniques, and trace cursed energy flows.
Most importantly—it allowed perfect control of cursed energy, which made it a prerequisite for the technique Limitless.
Next, Kaien's clothes morphed into the Tokyo Jujutsu High uniform.
He walked to the mirror to admire himself.
The longer he stared, the more satisfied he became.
"Damn… I'm too good-looking."
