This article contains spoilers from Jujutsu Kaisen’s Shinjuku Showdown Arc.

In today’s age of Jujutsu magic, spectators have witnessed a multitude of gifted and potent sorcerers. While it’s true that the Heian period boasted an impressive average power level among sorcerers, the current era has demonstrated countless times that these practitioners are equally formidable. At the pinnacle of this modern era stands none other than Gojo, the most powerful sorcerer.

In a remarkable display of strength, he was powerful enough to compete with Sukuna. The two seemed almost equally potent, yet in their confrontation, Gojo emerged the loser. If circumstances had been different, say without Megumi and the 10 Shadows Technique aiding Sukuna, Gojo might have triumphed. However, the outcome of the battle was such that it paved the way for a new dominant sorcerer to emerge in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen.

The Death Of Gojo Satoru Left The Room For A New Strongest

  • Sukuna Killed Gojo
  • Yuji Had Advanced Greatly

One pivotal moment in the anime “Jujutsu Kaisen” was undoubtedly the demise of Gojo. His sealing by Kenjaku during the Shibuya Incident Arc was just the beginning; he was later unsealed in the Culling Game. Following this, Gojo geared up to confront Sukuna, the King of Curses, and their showdown started in Shinjuku following a brief pause in the narrative timeline. The battle between Gojo and Sukuna was nothing short of spectacular, and it’s safe to say that it ranks among the best battles presented so far in the series. This epic fight saw some of the most thrilling events unfold throughout the entire anime, as both characters displayed an impressive balance of power despite Sukuna having a significant edge in combat.

Farewell, Gojo Satoru! I shall never forget you for as long as I live! – Sukuna

He did incredibly well against the King of Curses, even dealing severe damage to him. However, at the end of it all, one slight mistake from Gojo led to his downfall and eventually, he was killed. Sukuna expanded the target of his domain and bypassed his infinity, thanks to help from Mahoraga. Eventually, Gojo ended up losing the battle and with it, his life as well. Following Gojo’s death, a raid on Ryomen Sukuna began, which forced many sorcerers to take him on in battle and, at the same time, grow stronger in the midst of it.

Among all characters in the series, it’s clear that Yuji has experienced the greatest impact. Given the demise of Gojo, there’s a strong possibility that he will eventually emerge as one of the most powerful contemporary sorcerers.

How Yuji Became The Strongest Modern Sorcerer

Initially, Yuji’s potential wasn’t immediately apparent, making him seem less powerful compared to others at the outset of the tale. However, this phase was crucial for his development, particularly in Shinjuku where he experienced significant growth. He mastered the Reverse Cursed Technique and acquired two potent cursed techniques – one being blood manipulation from consuming death paintings 4 to 9, and the other being the Shrine cursed technique. This transformation occurred when Yuji clashed with Sukuna, triggering his hidden abilities to emerge. From then on, Sukuna began treating Yuji with greater respect, even acknowledging that Yuji possessed similar potential as himself.

That’s right! I have the power to kill you, Sukuna! – Yuji Itadori

In a unique connection, it’s worth noting that Yuji shares an intimate bond with Sukuna since Yuji’s father was the reborn form of Sukuna’s twin brother, who Sukuna had consumed within his mother’s womb. This means they are deeply intertwined, and due to muscle memory, Yuji recalls various experiences when Sukuna inhabited his body.

Currently, Yuji’s mastery over sorcery is relentless, surpassing conventional limits. He has achieved an unprecedented milestone, grasping the peak ability in Jujutsu Sorcery, known as Domain Expansion.

As a devoted fan, I’ve come to realize that during the time skip, Yuji honed his skills to an exceptional level in utilizing Simple Domains, a talent that was meticulously instilled in him by Kusakabe, one of the most formidable practitioners of the New Shadow Style techniques. With all these powers amassed, I marvel at the fact that Yuji can now even manifest domain expansion!

Within the story, it’s evident that Yuji is invincible, despite his powers remaining undisclosed within the narrative. He’s gone as far as threatening Sukuna, asserting he can kill him – a claim likely not empty. Given Yuji is the main character, it’s unlikely he would bluff at such a critical juncture of the series. If he claims to have the ability to kill Sukuna, then it’s probable that he does. We’re excited to see how Yuji progresses and ultimately conquers Sukuna.

Can Yuji Surpass Even Sukuna?

Currently, it’s undeniable that Yuji is the most formidable modern sorcerer within the realm of Jujutsu Kaisen. He boasts an impressive arsenal of abilities including immense power and durability, blood manipulation, a highly advanced reverse cursed technique, the capability to create a Simple Domain, the potency of the Shrine cursed technique encompassing both Cleave and Dismantle, and a Domain Expansion. To make matters worse for his opponents, Yuji possesses an unusual ability that makes him a potential danger to nearly every character in Jujutsu Kaisen – the power to inflict harm upon souls. This power can be amplified when combined with his Shrine cursed technique, allowing him to cause damage to Sukuna’s very soul. In one instance, by striking the space between Sukuna and Megumi’s soul, he even forced Sukuna to lose three of his fingers.

As a gamer, I’ll admit that if I keep taking hits like these, I’d surely lose grip over my buddy’s character and get defeated – that’s how potent Yuji is currently. But here’s the catch, this isn’t even close to his peak power. Yuji’s just warming up to his newly acquired skills. He’s still a fresh talent waiting to be honed.

In the forthcoming years, Yuji is poised for significant growth in power. If he manages to slay Sukuna at this moment, his future potential could be even more extraordinary. It’s plausible that Yuji might outshine Sukuna in the future, given his current formidable prowess. Yuji is expected to vanquish the king and subsequently grow further as a sorcerer. He will likely become the most powerful sorcerer ever seen in JJK, potentially even the strongest character overall, once the series concludes or in the ensuing years.

As a long-time fan of manga and anime, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news with fellow enthusiasts! If you’ve been eagerly waiting for the next chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, mark your calendars because JJK chapter 267 is set to drop on August 25, 2024. I’ve been following this series since its inception and can vouch for the fact that it’s a must-read for anyone who loves action-packed stories with captivating characters and intricate plotlines.
