During a pivotal conversation between Gojo Satoru and Yuta Okkotsu, a revelation reveals the connection between the protagonist of the prequel film, “Jujutsu Kaisen 0,” and some of the most powerful sorcerers in the series.
When Yuta regained consciousness after the intense battle against Geto Suguru, Gojo Satoru nonchalantly acknowledged the theory Yuta proposed, expressing curiosity. Gojo then drops shocking news: Yuta Okkotsu is a descendant of SUGAwara Michizane, thus making Yuta and Gojo distant relatives.
This revelation shocked their colleagues, including Maki Zen'in, Panda, and Toga Inumaki, as SUGAwara Michizane was revered as one of the three great incarnations of Japan.
Gojo Satoru's relatives in Jujutsu Kaisen?
The implication that Yuta's powers may stem from this lineage would add an intriguing layer to the depth and backstory of his character. However, it seems that Yuta Okkotsu is not Gojo Satoru's only relative, as hinted in a recent post on X.
According to user @Incr3dibl3Sauce's theory, Uraume is likely Gojo Satoru's ancestor and a member of the SUGAwara Michizane clan.
The theory draws attention to Uraume's name, which means “plum in the dark,” which may refer to her secretive nature. Furthermore, Uraume's association with plums resonates with SUGAwara Michizane's own obsession with these fruits, evidenced by his poignant farewell poem to the plum tree when he was exiled.
????I think this board confirms Uraume as Gojo's ancestor. She may be a member of the SUGAwara clan.
Obviously you have white hair which may or may not be suggestive.
But her name is also its greatest gift. pic.twitter.com/enkWISt6s2

Furthermore, Uraume's distinctive white hair and plum blossom stripes serve as visual cues that support the theory. If she truly serves as SUGAwara Michizane's “plum tree,” then the possibilities regarding her relationship with him are intriguing: she could be a lover, relative, or even is his student.
If this theory is correct, it would place Uraume as a distant relative of Gojo Satoru, deepening the family connection in the series' lore.
Uraume's name translates to Plum in the Dark. Generally. And if you divide them, “Ura” means working behind the scenes, in the shadows and in the background.
“Ume” means plum.
Plum trees are something that Michizane SUGAwara is obsessed with.

One of the most mysterious and formidable curse users in the series, Uraume's loyalty to Ryomen Sukuna spans over a millennium, demonstrating her steadfast loyalty and formidable strength.
Her mastery of cursed energy, demonstrated through techniques such as Ice Formation and Frost Calm, cements her status as a formidable foe. Despite her puzzling motives and mysterious past, Uraume's presence looms large in the ongoing story, hinting at her pivotal role in Kenjaku's grand plans.
As the complications of Kenjaku's plans unravel, Uraume emerges as a steadfast ally, ready to play a key role in the series' escalating conflicts. Her ambiguous origins and formidable abilities cement her status as an iconic villain, shrouded in mystery and intrigue, promising intriguing developments as the story progresses.
