Who Are The Big Three Families In Jujutsu Kaisen?

Who are the Big Three Families in Jujutsu Kaisen

The Big Three families in Jujutsu Kaisen are the elite Sorcerer clans that everyone either fears, respects, or totally despises. These families are a huge part of how the Jujutsu world works. They’ve got history, crazy powerful Techniques, and a lot of drama. Honestly, once you dig into their stories, you start to see how much they’ve changed everything behind the scenes.


These Big Three families are Zenin, Gojo, and Kamo, and each one of them represents different ideas, from outdated traditions to raw power and even some pretty dark secrets. Each one has produced some iconic characters and left a big impact on the story.

The Zenin Clan – Power And Pride

The Zenin Clan is known for its strict traditions and obsession with strength. They believe that only those with powerful Cursed Techniques are worthy of respect. If someone is born without one, they are treated as trash, even if they have great potential. This mindset created a lot of pain for characters like Maki and Mai Zenin.


The Zenin Clan has produced many strong Sorcerers, including Naoya and Toji. Toji Fushiguro, also known as the Sorcerer Killer, left the family because he was born without Cursed Energy. Ironically, that made him one of the most dangerous people alive. Maki, who was treated poorly by the clan, eventually destroyed them, showing how far she had come without needing their approval or their rules.


The Gojo Clan – The Strongest Bloodline

The Gojo Clan is home to one of the most important characters in Jujutsu Kaisen — Satoru Gojo. This family is known for the Six Eyes and the Limitless Cursed Technique. These two powers combined make Gojo almost unbeatable. He is seen as the strongest Sorcerer of modern times and a key figure in keeping balance in the Jujutsu world.


Not much is shown about other members of the Gojo Clan, but even without them, the name carries weight. Satoru Gojo's power and attitude often clash with the traditions of the Jujutsu higher-ups, and that puts a spotlight on how different he is from the rest of the world. Despite being a part of the system, Gojo also stands against it when needed.


The Kamo Clan – History And Controversy

The Kamo Clan is considered one of the oldest and most traditional families. But their history is also the darkest. The biggest stain on their name is Noritoshi Kamo, a past member known for being one of the most evil Sorcerers in history. He experimented on humans and was linked to the creation of Cursed Wombs and the Death Painting Wombs, which later became powerful Cursed Spirits.


In the present day, Noritoshi Kamo (a different person with the same name) tries to live up to his family's name without falling into the darkness of the past. He is serious, skilled, and loyal, but also carries the heavy weight of his clan’s history. The Kamo Clan’s story shows how the past can define a family, even generations later.


Final Verdict: More Than Just Family Names

Zenin, Gojo and Kamo clan Jujutsu Kaisen

The Big Three Families in Jujutsu Kaisen represent different ideas. The Zenin Clan teaches us how pride can destroy even the strongest, the Gojo Clan shows how a single person can change the world, and the Kamo Clan reminds us that the past is not easy to escape.


Each family plays a big role in the story, either by supporting the system or standing against it. And as the series goes on, it becomes clear that being born into a big name does not decide your worth. What really matters is what you do with your life, your power, and your choices.
