NEW YORK, NY — Residents of Manhattan were left stunned Tuesday afternoon when the world’s strongest sorcerer, Satoru Gojo, was spotted casually strolling through Times Square, blindfold on, hands in pockets, and somehow still avoiding eye contact with everyone.

Witnesses say the white-haired visitor appeared completely unfazed by the chaos of midtown traffic.

“He just walked straight into oncoming taxis, but they never actually hit him. It was like… there was space between him and the car? Honestly pretty standard MTA experience.”

Sources confirm Gojo arrived in New York “just to see what the hype was about,” adding that he had heard the city was home to “powerful curses.” Upon entering the subway system, however, he reportedly removed his blindfold, paused for a moment, and quietly muttered, “Oh. That’s just normal.”

The situation escalated when several finance bros in Patagonia vests approached him in SoHo. “Bro, the blindfold is sick,” said one man who identified himself only as Chad. “Are you like, a founder? AI? Crypto? Stealth startup?”

Gojo allegedly replied, “I teach,” before being immediately handed three business cards and invited to a rooftop networking event called “Sorcerers & Seed Rounds.”

Meanwhile, tourists in Times Square mistook him for a street performer and attempted to take photos. One child reportedly asked if he was “cosplaying Kakashi,” to which Gojo responded by briefly activating an incomprehensible domain expansion. City officials later issued a statement confirming that while no buildings were destroyed, “a suspiciously large number of negative vibes were erased near Penn Station.”

When asked about his overall impression of New York, Gojo shrugged.

“It’s loud, but I respect it. Strong energy. Mildly cursed. Good bagels.”

At press time, he was seen floating slightly above the High Line, sipping an iced coffee, and debating whether Central Park counted as “a low-level domain or just grass.”
