In its most pivotal phase to date, Jujutsu Kaisen portrays the intense battle between Gojo Satoru and Sukuna. This highly-anticipated showdown, teased from the series' inception, has finally come to fruition. Ever since Gojo's return, it was evident that a clash with Sukuna was inevitable. Both figures seek to establish themselves as the most revered beings across all realms, a title previously bestowed upon Sukuna.
The confrontation has been ongoing for a considerable duration, and the outcome remains uncertain. Both Gojo and Sukuna have earned the rightful title of "the strongest," harnessing immense powers and proving themselves to be well-matched adversaries thus far.
Gojo's Strengths
Gojo Satoru, hailed as the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer of his generation, has earned this acclaim rightfully. His astounding power and mastery over Jujutsu prove his dominance, as he effortlessly overcomes even the most formidable adversaries, unless they possess an immense power like Sukuna. Gojo possesses an extraordinary Innate Ability known as the Limitless, which serves as the cornerstone of his strength. Utilizing his domain expansion, the Unlimited Void, he easily overwhelms the majority of opponents.
This dominance is evident when he swiftly obliterates Jogo, reducing him to insignificance in mere seconds. Even Sukuna, despite his formidable might, struggles against the devastating force of Unlimited Void, as witnessed in chapter 229 of Jujutsu Kaisen. Gojo successfully lands an Unlimited Void attack on Sukuna, overcoming multiple failures of his Domain. Furthermore, Gojo's possession of the Six Eyes grants him enhanced efficiency in utilizing his Cursed Energy. Additionally, employing the Reverse Cursed Technique allows him to heal his body and replenish his Cursed Energy, further augmented by the Six Eyes. This synergy ensures that Gojo never truly exhausts his reserves of Cursed Energy, as suggested by Yuta. These formidable powers have served Gojo exceptionally well in his encounters with Sukuna, despite enduring lethal techniques.
Sukuna's Strengths
Sukuna, like Gojo, was once considered the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer a thousand years ago. He was feared for his immense powers and was eventually known as the Disgraced One. Sukuna possessed great mastery over Cursed Energy and his combat skills were so formidable that even when multiple powerful sorcerers tried to defeat him together, they failed. He managed to survive by dividing himself into Cursed Objects, and this is how he ended up in Yuji's body. Currently, he inhabits the body of Megumi Fushiguro and possesses several hidden tricks. While Sukuna's Innate Ability has not been fully revealed, his Domain Expansion, known as Malevolent Shrine, has been displayed multiple times in the story.
During the battle against Gojo, Sukuna successfully executed Malevolent Shrine on Gojo several times, causing significant damage. However, Gojo countered with his Reverse Cursed Technique, healing his injuries. Sukuna's Innate Ability is immensely powerful, allowing him to launch unseen slashes at his opponents, which are often fatal. Even someone as powerful as Satoru Gojo struggled to handle this ability.
Sukuna possesses exceptional skills not only in offense, but also in defense. In the initial clash, he effortlessly withstood Gojo's 200% Hollow Purple attack. Moreover, Sukuna has mastered the Reverse Cursed Technique, allowing him to heal his wounds. He even acquired the ability to restore his depleted Cursed Energy from Gojo. However, it is worth noting that Sukuna's proficiency in these techniques falls short compared to Gojo's expertise. This was evident when Sukuna's attempt to perform both actions simultaneously left him vulnerable to Gojo's devastating Unlimited Void technique.
Gojo Vs Sukuna Right Now
The battle between Gojo and Sukuna is currently reaching its climax, with both fighters evenly matched. They continuously attempt to utilize Domain Expansion in order to land a decisive blow, resulting in a prolonged and intense confrontation. In the previous chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, an opportunity arose for Sukuna as he demonstrated a weakness in his use of Reverse Cursed Technique compared to Satoru. This allowed Satoru to execute his Domain Expansion and successfully strike Sukuna with Limitless. Although it seemed like the end of the fight, Sukuna swiftly retaliated with his ultimate trump card, the Divine General Mahoraga.
Fans are already aware of the complexity of this ability, and now that Gojo has been affected by the Unlimited Void, he will adapt to it and ensure that this technique no longer works on him. Gojo finds himself in a challenging situation and must now rely on alternative techniques to defeat the Divine General. If Sukuna were in his original body instead of Megumi's, this battle may have already been concluded, with Gojo declared as the winner. However, that is not the current circumstance.
Despite the continuous bombardment of information from all directions within Satoru's Unlimited Void, Sukuna still relied on Mahoraga. While the two have been evenly matched for most of the fight, Gojo gained the upper hand in the previous chapter. However, the situation has now changed. With Mahoraga's entrance, it is Gojo who appears to be in trouble, especially since he can no longer utilize his Domain Expansion. For now, Gojo must focus on dealing with Mahoraga, which should not be impossible for him, considering Sukuna has previously defeated the Divine General alone.
Who Will Win Gojo Vs Sukuna?
The outcome of the fight between Gojo and Sukuna will be pivotal in the direction of Jujutsu Kaisen. Although they are evenly matched, Gojo possesses superior techniques, giving him an advantage overall. His expertise in using the Reverse Cursed Technique and his efficiency in utilizing Cursed Energy surpass Sukuna's. Additionally, Gojo's Domain Expansion is more powerful than Malevolent Shrine, as confirmed during their clash. Normally, a direct hit from Gojo's Unlimited Void would result in the defeat of even someone as powerful as Sukuna.
When Sukuna was struck by Unlimited Void, he was immobilized and left in a state of shock. This gave Gojo an opportunity to harm him, but Sukuna tapped into the power of Mahoraga to counter. If Sukuna were in his own body, it would be clear that Gojo would have emerged victorious. However, this is not the current situation. It appears that Gojo will now face challenges and setbacks, aligning with the plot's progression. If Gojo were to defeat Sukuna, it would mean an abrupt end to Jujutsu Kaisen. Therefore, for the sake of the plot, Gojo may actually lose this battle, allowing the threat of Sukuna to continue growing. While it may be difficult to believe that Gojo could lose a fight, it is a plausible outcome.
Fans should consider that Gojo seemed to be superior to Sukuna in every aspect of their clash. This includes their use of Cursed Energy, Innate Ability, Reverse Cursed technique, and domain expansion. Therefore, if comparing their skills in their original bodies, Gojo would be the only one to be revered across heaven and earth.
