Gojo’s Peak And His Potential, Explained

First Appearance Jujutsu Kaisen, Chapter 0-1, “The Cursed Child”
Debut Date April 28, 2017
Story Arc Cursed Child Arc

In the realm of Jujutsu Kaisen, it’s hard to find a sorcerer as talented and dedicated as Satoru Gojo. Despite being born with extraordinary abilities due to his innate skills with the Limitless Cursed Technique and the Six Eyes, he continually refined his powers and deepened his understanding of Cursed Energy to emerge as the world’s top fighter.

In terms of showcasing his maximum potential, there’s no need to search further than his epic battle against Sukuna. This encounter between the two powerful sorcerers was a display of sheer might, leaving fans in awe. Gojo utilized Limitless to its fullest extent, while Sukuna leveraged his own Cursed Technique and that of Megumi’s. Remarkably, despite Gojo ultimately losing this battle, many spectators argue that he was stronger than Sukuna. They claim that Sukuna’s victory was primarily due to Mahoraga and the Ten Shadows.

You did well, Satoru Gojo. I won’t forget you for as long as I live.

The skillfulness in hand-to-hand combat that Gojo possesses significantly surpasses Sukuna’s abilities in this area. While Sukuna is recognized for his unparalleled comprehension and mastery of Cursed Energy, coupled with immense energy reserves and formidable techniques, he presents a terrifying challenge to those weaker than him. However, it’s important to note that Gojo, the only one on an equal level with Sukuna (the King of Curses), excels in combat skills far beyond what Sukuna demonstrates.

In many parts of their fight, their expansions, enhancements, and dark powers counteracting each other left them engaged in close-quarter combat more often than not. However, Gojo consistently outmatched his adversary in these situations, a result of his lifelong dedication to mastering every aspect of combat. This proved advantageous for him.

Beyond his Domain Expansion, known as the Infinite Void, Gojo stands out as one of the most powerful characters in the series, and his command over it adds to his lethal capabilities. His exceptional understanding and skill in manipulating all forms of Cursed Energy is unmatched, which explains why he was the sole character capable of challenging Sukuna. In fact, without Gojo’s intervention, the surviving students of Jujutsu High would not have been able to vanquish the King of Curses.

During the final battle, Sukuna sustained the majority of his injuries from his confrontation with Gojo. When Gojo utilized all of his abilities to their maximum extent, Sukuna experienced severe mental and physical distress, leaving him significantly weakened. As such, when Jujutsu High’s collective forces attacked, they likely wouldn’t have been able to harm Sukuna if not for the damage inflicted by Gojo first.

Would Sukuna Have Lost Without The Ten Shadows?

How Would The Fight Have Played Out?

It’s uncertain whether Gojo could have defeated Sukuna under normal circumstances because Mahoraga interfered with Gojo’s Limitless Sorcerer’s Cursed Technique. Many fans speculate that in the absence of Mahoraga, Gojo would have emerged victorious due to the fact that Sukuna wouldn’t have had a way around Infinity, leaving Gojo’s impenetrable defense intact.

On the contrary, some argue that Sukuna could have found a way around it given his extensive understanding of Cursed Energy and the formidable power at his disposal. It’s also worth mentioning that throughout his fight with Gojo, Sukuna refrained from using his full form, suggesting that he had more hidden abilities, possibly too powerful even for our beloved sorcerer to handle.

Jujutsu Kaisen can be streamed on Crunchyroll and Amazon Prime.
