SATORU GOJO

"SATORU GOJO" by 7 Minutoz is a profound exploration of the isolation that accompanies absolute power, using the character Satoru Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen as a vessel for the artist's own introspection. Unlike typical "Geek Rap" tracks that glorify strength and abilities, this song delves into the psychological toll of being the "Strongest."

The lyrics draw a parallel between Gojo's fictional solitude—born from his untouchable "Infinity" technique—and the real-life pressure felt by the artist, Lucas A.R.T. As one of the most prominent figures in the Brazilian geek rap scene, Lucas uses the character to express his own exhaustion with fame ("the top") and the dehumanizing effect of being an idol. The line "Te falaram que excelência não tem nada a ver com ego?" (Did they tell you excellence has nothing to do with ego?) challenges the perception of confidence as arrogance.

The climax of the song breaks the fourth wall. By transitioning from Gojo's struggles to the explicit admission "Eu só quero ser o Lucas" (I just want to be Lucas), the song asserts that stripping away the persona (the "God" or "King") is the only way to find peace. It essentially argues that being "invincible" leads to being "invisible" because people stop seeing the human being behind the power.

The song opens with a confession of an expanding void within, filling the narrator's heart with a "purple infinity." While the view from the summit of power isn't described as inherently bad, the narrator admits that solitude has become their true domain. There is a sense of resignation as they describe the precipice they stand on; a single step separates them from the rest of the world. The soul screams to break this cycle, urging them to look upward and forget everything below, yet they feel they are tasting their own sin.

A central theme emerges regarding the paradox of power: the burden of being "invincible" paradoxically makes one "invisible" to others, as no one can truly understand or reach them. The narrator plays with their own name, declaring they are "saturated" (fed up) with the expectations and the role they play. They reject the idea that their excellence is merely ego, suggesting instead that it is a necessary armor. However, this armor isolates them, creating a world where they are unbeatable but also unseen.

The narrative takes a sharp turn towards meta-commentary, addressing "Gege" (the author of Jujutsu Kaisen) and admitting that living at the mercy of this ego was always a death sentence. The narrator expresses a desire to shed the titles of "King" and "God" that have been forced upon them. In a moment of raw vulnerability, the persona of the sorcerer Satoru Gojo fractures completely. The narrator apologizes and confesses that beneath the blindfold and the infinite power, they are "just a man" and ultimately, "just want to be Lucas"—revealing the artist behind the character who is equally tired of the pressure to be greater than human.

This track was released on December 9, 2025, featuring vocals by Henrique Mendonça alongside 7 Minutoz members (credited as Lucas A.R.T., Gabriel Rodrigues, and Pedro Alvez). It serves as a spiritual successor and a mature contrast to the group's earlier 2021 hit, "Rap do Satoru Gojo." While the 2021 track was a high-energy brag anthem focusing on Gojo's combat prowess, this 2025 release adopts a somber, trap-infused tone reflecting the darker turns of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga narrative (specifically the Shinjuku Showdown arc).

The song was produced by WB and Dakvir, with mixing and mastering by Peu028. The creation of the song was driven by a desire to humanize the character of Gojo following the conclusion of his character arc in the source material, while simultaneously allowing Lucas A.R.T. to address his own feelings of burnout and the weight of expectations from the group's massive fanbase.

The lyrics are dense with double entendres linking the anime lore to emotional states:

• Purple (Roxo): Refers to Gojo's destructive technique "Hollow Purple," but here it symbolizes a bruised heart or a void that consumes the narrator from the inside.
• Infinity (Infinito): In the anime, this keeps things from touching Gojo. In the song, it represents the emotional wall that prevents genuine connection with others, enforcing his isolation.
• Blindfold/Eyes: Gojo covers his eyes to dampen his sensory overload. The song uses this as a metaphor for willful ignorance or hiding one's true self from the world to function as a "god."
• Saturated (Saturei): A clever pun on the name "Satoru." It signifies being overwhelmed, full to the brim with pressure, and tired of the repetitive cycle of fighting and winning.
• Lucas: The ultimate symbol of humanity. By naming himself, the artist strips away the metaphor entirely, grounding the song in reality.

The song is drenched in bittersweet melancholia and resignation. It begins with a calm acceptance of the "void," transitions into frustration and anger regarding the misconceptions of others, and resolves into a vulnerable, almost whispered confession of humanity. The atmosphere is cold and spacious, evoking the imagery of a lone figure floating in an infinite empty space. It evokes empathy for a character usually seen as arrogant, revealing the tragedy beneath the confidence.

As one of the premier groups in the "Geek Rap" genre (Rap Geek) in Brazil, 7 Minutoz influences a massive subculture. This song represents a maturation of the genre, moving away from simple retellings of anime plots to using pop culture icons as vehicles for personal expression and mental health awareness. The song resonated deeply with fans of Jujutsu Kaisen during the manga's climax, providing a soundtrack to the fandom's collective grief and complex feelings towards the character Satoru Gojo. The "Saturei" pun likely became a catchphrase or meme within the community due to its cleverness and relatability.

The rhyme scheme is often AABB or varying internal rhymes common in modern trap. For instance, the pairing of "invencível" (invincible) with "invisível" (invisible) and "compreensível" (understandable) creates a tight, rhythmic flow that emphasizes the logical progression of the narrator's despair. The rhythm is slow and heavy, dragging slightly behind the beat in the verses to convey lethargy and depression, before speeding up in the "Satoru, Satoru" hook to mimic anxiety or frustration.

Literary Techniques: The song relies heavily on pun and paronomasia, most notably in the hook "Satoru, Satoru, eu saturei," which plays on the phonetic similarity between the name and the Portuguese verb for 'saturate' (to get fed up). Irony is used when discussing "invincibility" leading to "invisibility." Apostrophe is employed when the narrator directly addresses "Gege" (the manga author).

Musical Techniques: The production utilizes a melancholic trap beat with deep 808s and atmospheric synthesizers that mimic a feeling of emptiness or "space." The vocal delivery shifts from melodic singing (autotuned crooning) to a more aggressive, desperate rap flow, mirroring the shift from composure to emotional breakdown. The use of silence and reverb creates a sonic "void" around the vocals, reinforcing the theme of isolation.

What does the phrase 'Satoru, Satoru, eu saturei' mean?

It is a wordplay in Portuguese. 'Saturei' means 'I saturated' or 'I got fed up/tired.' The phrase phonetically sounds like his name, Satoru, effectively saying 'Satoru, Satoru, I'm done with this' or 'I'm exhausted by being Satoru.'

Who is Lucas mentioned at the end of the song?

Lucas refers to **Lucas A.R.T.**, one of the main members of 7 Minutoz and the writer/performer of the verse. By saying 'I just want to be Lucas,' he is breaking the fourth wall to express his desire to be seen as a normal person, not just the persona of the 'strongest rapper' or the character he is portraying.

Is this the same song as the 'Rap do Satoru Gojo' from 2021?

No. 7 Minutoz released a popular track in 2021 titled 'Rap do Satoru Gojo: Mais Poderoso Desse Mundo Todo,' which was confident and upbeat. This song, simply titled 'SATORU GOJO' (released late 2025), is a slower, sadder, and more introspective sequel exploring the character's loneliness.

What is the 'Infinite Purple' mentioned in the lyrics?

It refers to Satoru Gojo's signature technique, 'Hollow Purple' (Vazio Roxo), which combines attraction and repulsion to erase everything in its path. In the song, it metaphorically represents the emotional void erasing his happiness and filling his heart with emptiness.
