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

Key Takeaways

  • Yuta Okkotsu and Yuji Itadori are top contenders for the title of the strongest sorcerer in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe.

The climactic chapter of “Jujutsu Kaisen,” titled the Shinjuku Showdown, has just concluded, leaving fans with divided opinions. While many admired the continuous display of impressive battles that have graced us over the past few years, it’s also evident that the final story arc could have been more polished and less rushed in several aspects.

In the finale of JJK, Sukuna suffered defeat at the hands of Yuji, initiating a new phase in the world. Despite the series leaving several plot threads unresolved and some character arcs being poorly concluded, fans have found much to admire in Gege’s work. Amidst numerous health issues and creative pressures, he delivered his best. The question on everyone’s mind now is: who will be the next strongest sorcerer, following the events of Shinjuku? While several characters could vie for this title, only one truly stands out as worthy.

The Death Of Gojo and Sukuna In Shinjuku Showdown

  • Gojo And Sukuna Clashed In Shinjuku
  • Gojo and Sukuna Both Died In The Same Arc

In the realm of Jujutsu Kaisen, two individuals stand out as the epitome of power – Gojo Satoru and Ryomen Sukuna. Of these two, Gojo is renowned for his extraordinary might. Hailing from the esteemed Gojo clan, Satoru was doubly blessed with the Six Eyes and Limitless cursed technique. These extraordinary abilities made him invincible, earning him the title of the strongest modern sorcerer. His birth alone brought about a shift in the world’s balance. However, it is important to note that Gojo did not simply become the strongest due to his innate gifts; rather, his rise to power was fueled by tireless training and unwavering determination. Gojo dedicated himself to rigorous training, pushing himself beyond the limits most sorcerers in the story have ever shown.

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

This was proven by Yuta when he took over Gojo’s body and realized how difficult Limitless is to control and why the Six Eyes make things harder than usual in the midst of battle. The precision and control one needs to fight using these powers can only be attained through severe training, and Gojo accomplished just that. All this led to him becoming the strongest. Not only did Gojo master the power of his cursed technique, but also of the cursed technique reversal, and at the same time, other incredible abilities, such as reverse cursed technique, and of course, the pinnacle of Jujutsu sorcerer, domain expansion. Gojo ended up becoming the strongest modern sorcerer, rivaled only by the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna.

Regarding Sukuna from JJK, it’s common knowledge among fans that he was an influential character, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Gojo as one of the most powerful entities. In battles, he effortlessly overpowered every sorcerer, earning a reputation as the strongest of all time. Interestingly, Sukuna transformed into a cursed artifact and reincarnated in the present era. Over time, he managed to regain his full power before engaging in a fight against Gojo.

In the epic clash against Gojo, spectators witnessed Sukuna reaching the pinnacle of his power, displaying authentic Jujutsu sorcery at its finest. Although Gojo’s attacks weakened Sukuna significantly, he still found a way to eliminate Gojo with Megumi’s assistance. Subsequently, Sukuna engaged in another fierce battle against numerous sorcerers, showcasing his incredible strength and resilience. Every aspect of him was nothing short of breathtaking in this confrontation. However, despite his remarkable capabilities, he was eventually overpowered by Yuji, who had been rapidly growing stronger throughout the fight, eventually bringing Sukuna down for good.

That’s right Sukuna! I can kill you! – Yuji

In simpler terms, Sukuna was effectively annihilated, while Megumi’s body was preserved. The demise of both Sukuna and Gojo has left a massive void in the present age, paving the way for a new most powerful sorcerer – a speculation that fans have been eagerly anticipating since the end of the series.

The Candidates For The Spot Of The Strongest Sorcerer

Yuji Itadori And Yuta Okkotsu Are Two Of Best Contenders

When one thinks of the strongest modern sorcerer, only two candidates come to mind. The first candidate is, of course, Yuta. Fans know Yuta to be an incredibly powerful sorcerer who has been labeled to be second only to Gojo on many occasions. Yuta was Gojo’s very own protege, and his strength is derived from the curse of love. Yuta, with Rika at his side, is almost unstoppable. Not only does he have even more cursed energy than Gojo, but Rika can essentially refill his reserves, and at the same time, hold weapons for him. His biggest strength lies in the Copy cursed technique, using which he can utilize various deadly abilities that he has taken from his enemies, or, at times, even his friends. His domain expansion makes him utterly unstoppable, and he could even have defeated Sukuna in his domain, had Megumi taken the helping hand given to him.

Yuta repeatedly has the ability to tap into all powers he’s copied within his realm, and his time spent in Gojo’s body made him even stronger and more adaptable when it comes to using cursed energy. It’s clear that Yuta is a strong contender for the title of the most powerful sorcerer currently, but there are others too.

With Yuta, another character in JJK is believed to be extremely powerful, and this individual turns out to be none other than Yuji Itadori, a character greatly admired by fans for his strength. During the Shinjuku Showdown Arc, Yuji significantly boosted his power, largely due to having muscle memory from Sukuna’s time within him. Yuji possesses immense potential, and it was suggested by Uraume that his potential is on par with that of Sukuna. If he ever fully realizes this potential, he could potentially reach a similar level in the future.

Currently, Yuji isn’t quite at the same skill level as others, but he does possess two unique abilities: Basic Blood Manipulation for healing and other uses, and the Shrine cursed technique which fans have recently witnessed. Yuji’s most potent asset lies in his soul-damaging strikes, which can be amplified by his Shrine. He also has the ability to create a powerful domain expansion with a precise hit.

Who Is The Strongest Sorcerer At The End Of JJK?

In the anime “JJK,” determining who the most powerful sorcerer is can be a bit confusing. For now, fans generally agree that Yuta holds the title of the strongest, as he currently outmatches Yuji in battle. However, Yuta’s strength may continue to grow, potentially reaching levels comparable to Gojo’s in the future.

At long last, the final chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, numbered 271, was unveiled on September 29, 2024. Enthusiasts can now delve into the series via the Manga Plus and Shonen Jump mobile applications.
