Fans Point Out Potential Error in Gojo vs Sukuna Fight in Jujutsu Kaisen

Gege Akutami, the creator of Jujutsu Kaisen, has gained a reputation for including plotholes in his work. It is not uncommon for his manga to lack crucial information or leave certain aspects unresolved.

It is unclear whether Gege is aware of these plotholes, but fans of the sorcerer-centric series definitely are. They are quick to notice and question these inconsistencies. The most recent plothole revolves around Gojo's Six Eyes.

The claim is quite bold considering the events of the story. It refers to a seemingly insignificant detail that could have a significant impact on the entire plot. During the intense battle between Gojo Satoru and Ryomen Sukuna, there was a moment that puzzled fans. Sukuna's swift slashes were undetectable, causing his opponents to suddenly disintegrate. Even though Gojo had the ability to see and dodge these attacks, he was unable to do so in this case.

Fans unhappy and claim "Gojo was nerfed"

Despite being struck by them repeatedly, according to Jujutsu Kaisen, Six Eyes has the ability to perceive Jujutsu at the molecular level. This suggests that nothing infused with Cursed Energy can evade its detection, or so it was believed. This raised doubts among fans about the ability and prompted them to point out a potential inconsistency.

Fans of Jujutsu Kaisen wasted no time in reaching out to the mangaka on social media to bring attention to this. User y0unGeezer was the first to raise the issue, and it gained traction rapidly.

With the information available on Gojo's Six Eyes, as mentioned, it is capable of seeing Cursed Energy in extreme detail, down to the flow of individual atoms.

This ability also grants the user extraordinary intelligence and analytical skills, allowing them to quickly assess situations and perform complex calculations in less than a second. It also drastically reduces the use of Cursed Energy, ensuring that he never runs out of it during a battle.

Maybe Gojo Satoru is not completely invincible after all

However, Gege has only given limited information about Six Eyes. There is no explanation of how it is used when encountering other techniques, such as Sukuna's Cleave slashes.

While many joined the "Gojo was nerfed" discussion, there were others who held a different view, and they had compelling reasons for doing so. One prevailing theory was that Gojo's Six Eyes did indeed detect the incoming attacks, but for various reasons, he either chose not to or was unable to evade them.

Being human, there is a natural reaction time that was unable to keep up with the oncoming slashes, resulting in him being hit. Additionally, he intentionally allowed the slashes to connect in order to observe how Limitless and his Infinity would react.

Lastly, Sukuna is not solely human or Curse, having transcended both to become a mix or hybrid. This could explain the uniqueness of his attacks and why the ability to perceive only Cursed Energy missed them due to their distinct nature.

Was Gojo actually nerfed?

Only Jujutsu Kaisen creator Gege Akutami can realistically answer this question. Both sides of the debate raise valid points which support each side of the argument.

Gege may have weakened the most powerful sorcerer in the battle but made mistakes in the execution. On the other side, Gojo may have anticipated the approach and wanted to observe the interaction between his Limitless and Infinity abilities.

Furthermore, it is possible that Gege was fully aware of this situation. The mangaka might have orchestrated the Gojo vs Sukuna fight to favor the latter in order to allow characters like Yuji, Maki, Hakari, and others to progress. Gege had expressed his disapproval of Gojo's immense power.

The narrative should move forward, and Gojo's likely absence may be the catalyst for this. As a result, Yuji may awaken a new technique to become stronger, and Hakari would have an opportunity to shine in a battle against Sukuna.

Editor's P/S

As an enthusiastic fan of Jujutsu Kaisen, I am intrigued by the recent debate surrounding a potential plothole in the epic battle between Gojo Satoru and Ryomen Sukuna. The discussion centers around Gojo's Six Eyes, which are believed to possess the ability to perceive Jujutsu at the molecular level, making it seemingly impossible for anything infused with Cursed Energy to evade detection. However, fans have pointed out an instance where Sukuna's swift slashes managed to strike Gojo despite his extraordinary vision.

This inconsistency has sparked a heated debate among the Jujutsu Kaisen fandom, with some arguing that Gege Akutami, the creator of the series, nerfed Gojo's power, while others believe there may be a logical explanation for this apparent oversight. Some fans suggest that Gojo's human reaction time might have been the limiting factor, preventing him from evading the attacks despite his ability to perceive them. Others propose that Gojo intentionally allowed the slashes to connect in order to observe how his Limitless and Infinity techniques would react.
