Jujutsu Kaisen (呪術廻戦)
大丈夫、僕最強だから
Daijōbu, boku saikyō dakara.
“Don't worry — I'm the strongest, after all.”
— Satoru Gojo
Answer both practice questions correctly to complete this line.
Not yetThe scene
When Yuji worries about facing Sukuna, the King of Curses, his teacher Gojo waves it off with total serenity: it will be fine, because he is the strongest. It is reassurance and bragging in the same breath — peak Gojo.
Word by word
| Japanese | Romaji | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 大丈夫 | daijōbu | all right, OK, no problem — one of the most useful words in Japanese |
| 僕 | boku | 'I / me' — masculine but softer and more boyish than 俺 |
| 最強 | saikyō | the strongest |
| だから | dakara | 'because / that's why' — から (because) with だ |
Grammar notes
Sentence-ending から
から normally means 'because', and putting it at the end of a sentence softens the claim into an explanation offered to the listener: '...because, you see.' Gojo's whole justification is just 'I'm the strongest, so.'
Skipping the copula
A fully explicit version would be 僕は最強だから. Topic marker は and everything predictable gets dropped — casual Japanese trims relentlessly.
Can you say this in real life?
Announcing that you are 最強 (the strongest) about yourself is outrageous in real Japanese conversation — it works only because Gojo can back it up. 大丈夫 (daijōbu) and 僕 (boku), though, are everyday words you will use constantly.
Practice
Q1. What does Gojo promise with 「大丈夫」?
Q2. Fill in the blank: 「僕＿＿だから」 (because I'm the strongest)
