Summary

Enthusiasts of the series “Jujutsu Kaisen” now have something exciting to anticipate as creator Gege Akutami delves into a Q&A Session focusing on the epic battle between Gojo Satoru and Sukuna. Fans had been eagerly awaiting this significant encounter since April, and gradually, the answers to intriguing questions surrounding the event are being unveiled in the narrative piece by piece.

Gege shared a lot of thrilling details with fans, including why Gojo lost to Sukuna, as well as other intriguing insights about the main characters. Most notably, Gege revealed that two characters had the potential to defeat Sukuna during the Shinjuku Showdown, which was something Sukuna himself acknowledged.

Gege Confirms Only Two Characters Could’ve Beaten Sukuna

  • Gojo Satoru Could’ve Beaten The King Of Curses
  • Kashimo Could’ve Taken Down Sukuna As Well

According to Gege himself, two characters in the Shinjuku Showdown had the potential to overcome Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses. This revelation might surprise some fans, but it’s quite logical once you consider the facts. Firstly, it’s no secret that Gojo Satoru matched Sukuna in power. Given his immense strength, defeating Sukuna would have been relatively straightforward for Gojo.

From my perspective, it became apparent as the battle reached its climax that Gojo held the advantage. However, it seemed premature for Sukuna to depart from the storyline, and it was always intended for Yuji to be the protagonist. Consequently, Gojo’s immense power necessitated his temporary exit from the plot. Thus, Gege, the author, orchestrated a moment where Gojo lowered his defenses, which Sukuna exploited to deliver the fatal blow. This sequence of events was corroborated by none other than Gege himself. Furthermore, Gege also shared that Sukuna held the belief that Gojo could’ve overcome him in combat. Similarly, Sukuna entertained the notion that Kashimo might have triumphed against him as well. In a nutshell, these are the insights provided by Gege regarding the unfolding of events.

How Kashimo Could’ve Beaten Sukuna

It shouldn’t shock anyone that Gojo may overcome Sukuna, but some fans might find it perplexing how Kashimo could have defeated him. The plausible explanation for this is his cursed technique called Mythical Beast Amber. This cursed technique made him exceptionally lethal and enabled him to deliver unavoidable strikes against Sukuna, however, at the expense of his own life.

In Megumi’s physical form, Sukuna would have undoubtedly been defeated by Kashimo if the fight had persisted in its current state. It was impossible for him to emerge victorious against Kashimo, which is why he had to revert back to his original form. This suggests that Gege might have been talking about the Sukuna who had already been completely drained by Gojo and left on the verge of death. Only in his full form could Sukuna have stood a chance against Gojo.

Could Anyone Else Have Taken Down Sukuna?

Yuji, Yuta, and Higuruma Had A Chance

Although Gojo and Kashimo potentially had a chance to defeat Sukuna, there were several others who had opportunities too. For example, Yuta had numerous chances to defeat Sukuna. If Megumi had taken Yuji’s hand in Yuta’s domain, Yuta would have emerged victorious. Similarly, if Yuta had managed his Hollow Purple more effectively within Gojo’s body and not lost control, he could have triumphed. Higuruma also had a chance to strike Sukuna with the Executioner’s sword, and if someone had assisted him in landing a precise hit, he might have won as well. Ultimately, it was only Yuji Itadori who managed to defeat Sukuna in the end.

It’s important to clarify that this doesn’t mean these characters were stronger; rather, Gojo was the only one who could truly match and potentially defeat Sukuna in a fair fight. Kashimo came the closest after Gojo, particularly against a weakened Sukuna. The rest of them were weaker individually, but they could have emerged victorious through teamwork.

At long last, the final chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, numbered 271, became available to readers on September 29, 2024. To catch up with this captivating series, fans may access it via the Manga Plus and Shonen Jump mobile applications.
