Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man fans bicker over Gojo Vs. Makima
Chainsaw Man fans wasted no time in debunking the reputation of Satoru Gojo, claiming he was not as formidable as believed. Despite his title as "The Strongest Sorcerer," Gojo suffered defeat at the hands of Ryomen Sukuna in the latest Jujutsu Kaisen manga. This recent turn of events provided fans with ample ammunition to question Gojo's abilities. Prior to this, the manga had depicted Gojo with unwavering confidence in his victory, only for him to be gruesomely dismembered.

Furthermore, fans of Chainsaw Man were convinced that Makima possessed the power to effortlessly defeat Gojo. As the Control Devil, Makima had entered into a contractual agreement with the Prime Minister of Japan, wherein the death of a randomly selected Japanese citizen would occur upon her own demise. Consequently, if Satoru Gojo were to successfully eliminate Makima, she would somehow survive and continue her battle.
Ultimately, the conflict could reach a critical juncture where eliminating Makima might inadvertently lead to Gojo's own demise. This arises from the fact that Gojo himself is a Japanese citizen and therefore bound by the terms of the contract. Moreover, in the world of Chainsaw Man, devils do not truly perish but rather undergo a process of reincarnation.

Jujutsu Kaisen enthusiasts anticipated that Chainsaw Man supporters would rally behind Makima. Therefore, they preemptively pointed out that if Makima were to win solely due to her contract with the Japanese Prime Minister, the outcome of the death battle would be considered biased. According to Jujutsu Kaisen fans, since they belong to different dimensions, the contract should not be applicable to Gojo, one of the characters in Jujutsu Kaisen.
Furthermore, fans asserted that Makima had no means to overpower Gojo because she lacked the capability to penetrate Gojo's Infinity. Moreover, they contended that if Gojo were to employ his Domain Expansion against the Control Devil, Makima would be swiftly defeated.

Fans were perplexed about how the Death Battle creators would determine a winner between the two contestants, considering the remarkable powers possessed by both characters. It seemed nearly impossible to declare a clear victor, so extensive research would likely be necessary to uncover the crucial piece of information that could shift the tide of the battle.
However, some fans speculated that there may be no definitive winner in the fight. Instead, they theorized that Satoru Gojo could end up with Makima and potentially have a child who possesses the combined abilities of both characters. This idea was met with immediate dismay by other fans. With that being said, fans will have to wait until October 23 to discover the outcome of the death battle.
