GojoMei

"You wouldn't cry. You're strong."

- Gojo to Mei Mei

GojoMei is the het ship between Satoru Gojo and Mei Mei from the Jujutsu Kaisen fandom.

Canon
Satoru Gojo and Mei Mei have known each other for more than 10 years. When Gojo was accepted into Jujutsu High, Mei Mei was in her fourth year, which makes her his senior by three years.

Chronologically, the two first appear together during Gojo’s Past Arc. When Mei Mei and her classmate Utahime go on a mission and get trapped within a spirit's barrier, they disappear for two days. Gojo and his classmates Suguru and Shoko get sent to help them. When they arrive and get rid of the curse, Mei Mei asks Gojo if he would console her if she was crying and adds that she wouldn’t mind him comforting her. Gojo says that she is too strong and wouldn't cry. Mei Mei seems pleasantly surprised at that and she lets out a small chuckle. When they discuss the circumstances that didn’t allow Mei Mei and her classmate contact the college, Gojo says that the mansion must have been under some time manipulating barrier. He clarifies that they thought something was wrong even though such strong sorcerer as Mei Mei was handling the operation.

Ten years later, when Suguru Geto visits Jujutsu High in Tokyo to declare war on the jujutsu world, Gojo and Mei are both there to welcome him. Mei is seen with her battle axe standing behind Gojo, ready to fight.

In present day, the two are reunited again during the Kyoto Sister-Schools Exchange Event. Mei Mei, as an independent sorcerer, aids the college faculty with the event surveillance. She and Gojo, along with other faculty members, are seen in the teachers’ room watching young sorcerers. When Mei Mei notices Maki Zenin’s strength, she wonders why the girl hadn’t been promoted from grade 4, and Gojo says that he agrees with her on that. He explains that it’s all due to the Zenin clan’s interference. Gojo notices how video feed around Yuji seems to be inconsistent and asks Mei whose side she is on. Mei says that the animals are faulty and adds that she doesn’t believe in anything that cannot be exchanged for money. Satoru quips in saying that she must be talking from personal experience.

When Gojo’s first years finish their mission, Gojo contacts Mei Mei, transfers 10 million yen (around 91 thousand dollars) to her bank account and says that he relies on her. She receives the check and starts laughing. Some time later she visits principal Gakuganji in order to promote first and second year Tokyo students to first grade sorcerers.

Both Gojo and Mei Mei take active participation in the Shibuya events. When Mei, her brother Ui Ui, and Yuji discuss their plan, Ui Ui says that Gojo is too arrogant for making Mei go as a back-up. Mei says that Gojo is not an ordinary guy, and her brother tells her she isn’t ordinary either. When Gojo gets sealed by Fake Geto, Mechamaru contacts Yuji and Mei and breaks the news to them. Mei Mei doesn’t believe him at first. After Kokichi explains the situation and adds that they are being pursued by curses, Mei says they should get going to check on Gojo.

When Mei sees Pseudo Geto, she wonders how it is possible that he is still alive and whether Gojo could have been the traitor working with him all along. She, however, rejects this line of thought.

Fanon
GojoMei appears to be a small ship, as the two rarely appear together. Fans of the ship have noted Mei’s flirting in Gojo's Pasr Arc and their light banter during the Kyoto Exchange Event and believe she and Gojo could be having an on-and-off affair. Another thing that attracts fans' attention is Mei's outstanding tactical intellect and her fighting skills. She claims that she hasn't been defeated or injured for a very long time, which proves her to be a very proficient fighter. Unlike Gojo, who is considered the strongest sorcerer, Mei believed that her innate technique, crow manipulation, made her weak. However, just like him, she trained herself to her absolute limit to become the strongest version of herself, which made her very effective in fight, and granted her the status of grade one sorcerer. Interestingly enough, Gojo calls Mei "strong" in his Past Arc, a term that he doesn't often use in relation to other sorcerers and doesn't hand out to others easily. Fans believe that the two could make for a perfect battle couple.
