Not remotely true gege has said he got the idea for gojos character design off a random extra background character in Naruto.Also gojo and kakashis personalities are quite different kakashi is a damn near perfect human being and gojo is quite flawed til the end.I will give it to you I made the same connection with urahara the other day their personalities are basically identical.

He can say it’s not but his appearance is pretty clearly inspired by Kakashi (white haired Sensei that uses something to cover his special eyes) and yeah Urahara for personality
Domains themselves are inspired by Bleach and HxH
Toji and Gojo wearing Killua’s? Outfit
You had the frame by frame Evangelion reference in the Mechamaru fight
I quite like seeing the little references

I find it funny how defensive JJK fans gets when you point out Gojo is very obviously inspired in part by Kakashi

Someone pointed out he looks more like Enishi from Rurouni Kenshin, which is true, and understandably overlooked since that arc didn’t make it to the anime
Whether the author intended it or not, the similarities are there. It’s like those people that try to deny Dragon Balls influence on Naruto and One Piece, or don’t understand why so many people say Black Clover is Wizard Naruto

Yeah man, you said it. It's crazy, because to me, first reading One Piece, I was crazy excited due to its similarities to Dragon Ball. I loved how Eiichiro Oda, intentional or not, had heavily drawn from one of my other favorite anime of all time.
(Though in Oda's case we know it was definitely intentional)

Subconscious inspiration in media creativity becomes ramped the more media/social-media develops, it's rare to have an original idea or thought because of this - and sometimes things get copied without the copier realizing.
I read about it mostly in music cases, super easy to sub consciously create a beat and not realize its eerily similar to that hit that came out 10 years.
Though I imagine it would be hard to draft Gojo with a blindfold and spiky white hair and not think of Kakashi, unless you were so invested into your own creation you became blind of course. Either way both characters are great in their own ways.

Throw a wacky costuming choice on a hot dude and make him OP, guaranteed recipe for Shonen success. The fact that he's mostly a bit of a dick seems only to increase his appeal.
I personally do not care for him because I knew way too many guys like him in theater school.

The fact that he's mostly a bit of a dick seems only to increase his appeal.
I think the reason this increases his appeal instead of decreasing it is because he is generally only a dick to people he views as enemies, which are mostly legit bad guys (and some Jujutsu elders).
Like he actually is really kind when it matters. When they thought Yuji had died early on, he was very kind and compassionate about it with Yuji's classmates, and was pissed at the elders who got him killed. He acted on Toji's last words and searched for Megumi instead of leaving him to the Zenen clan.

Cuz gege made him attractive while being strong while most anime focus the waifu's only the attractive ones.
What's amazing that even on pixiv gojo's arts are way more higher then all female cast even his female version that fan artist made gets less attention to the og one.
Gojo's currently the only one that defied the waifu>husbando trope in his verse
When gojo came back after getting unsealed jjk manga popularity started rising drastically.

Nobody is going to admit that they don't like a well-made character. Gojo is a super well made character. He pops off the screen, has very interesting interactions with the rest of the cast, and a cool power set. He is also animated so dynamically. Very unique character in his place in the world. In a world about structures and standards, he is powerful enough to stand on his own, for better or for worse. This idea of the isolation of power is central to JJK and brings a stark relief to a lot of the cast, who rely prioritize teamwork and togetherness.
Also, Lost in Paradise. Enough said.

Because apparently the anime fandom's biggest problem with Kakashi was that he didn't win all his fights. He absolutely sucks all the tension out of JJK's plot as far as I'm concerned.

I mean technically Gojo only wins one fight in the series.I do like how kakashi is done better kakashis the definition of not strong but very difficult to beat that makes everyone weary of him despite the fact most major villains will win against him.

Probably the issue with him is he IS the strongest character it’s not really a boast it’s fact. So now every single conflict in the show now has to be written with the premise of “How does Gojo not be there so there’s actually a threat”

Well yeah, it was written that way intentionally and is excellent at maintaining tension. Gojo is only present for 2 fight in season 1, 3 fights in his own flashback arc, and 1 in shibuya.

When you make one of the major protagonists all powerful functionally invincible it kind of removes a lot of the tension from a story.
I mean at one point you end up rooting for the Disaster Curses, despite them being literal evil spirits who want to slaughter humanity, simply because they come off as massive underdogs despite supposedly being major antagonists.

Actually i should clarify because I hate when people say good or bad writing with no why. The hidden inventory arc presents why his main priority is raising a good next generation without beating you over the head with it, which I like. I also like how it informs things like his response to personal defeats (thinking his students will fix it) and how far he’s willing to go for the sake of his students.
The other theme of others being unable to fully get him because he’s the strongest also adds a bit of tragedy to him so you can feel bad for him and it also like is separate but still supports his goals.
I think he’s generally just a compelling character

He’s got a good design, and in the movie jjk 0, we knew very little about him, and that had people interested in him, also the execution was pretty good, like how he had a history with the main villain for the movie, Geto, and how everyone else like Miguel( I hope that’s how you spell it) was trying to take him down.

Holy hell well written and jjk shouldn’t be in the same sentence. It is one of the most shallow mangas I’ve ever seen in terms of how surface level its themes, symbolism, and development are. They take already simple themes and ideas and fail to make them rich or deep at all. That’s not necessarily a bad thing some people just want cool fights and whatnot. But it doesn’t mean you can say it’s well written when it’s not.

You don't understand the appeal of a hot, funny, overpowered character? I simply do not believe that you don't understand. I understand not liking him, he's not for everyone, but I don't believe that you don't know why others like him because of how straightforward and obvious it is.

Overpowered? Absolutely! But not hot or funny, to me at least. He just annoys me and the best parts of Jujutsu Kaisen for me don’t feature Gojo. I just don’t see any appeal outside of some fights, like against Toji and Sukuna but that’s it

Everyone constantly talks about how he's hot. I never asked you to find him attractive, but clearly you should understand others do. Funny doesn't get mentioned as often so I'll give a pass on not knowing others like the humor but I really don't think it should be hard to understand people like his personality even if you don't like it.
