Jujutsu Kaisen: Who Wins Between Gojo vs Sukuna? (2024)

We are in for a wild ride as Jujutsu Kaisen draws to a close and Gojo is finally unsealed from the prison realm. In JJK chapter 221, Gege Akutami, at last, gave a taste of the much eagerly awaited Gojo vs Sukuna showdown. The fans went crazy right after this chapter, which reminded me of Michael Scott’s “It’s Happening!” scene of The Office TV show. However, the Gojo vs Sukuna debate has been ongoing ever since the series first aired, even before Gojo set a date for their fight. In order to determine who will ultimately win the fight between the King of Curses and the strongest Jujutsu sorcerer, let’s look at the information we have at our disposal thus far in the battle between Gojo Vs Sukuna in the manga.

Heavy Spoilers Warning: This article has spoilers about Gojo Satoru, Sukuna, and the ongoing story of Jujutsu Kaisen. We suggest you watch the anime and read the manga (up to chapter 229) to avoid ruining your experience.

Gojo vs Sukuna: What Happens When an Unstoppable Force Meets an Immovable Object?

Do you remember the first time Gojo was introduced in Jujutsu Kaisen, and he instantly went on to clash against Sukuna (in Yuji’s body)? We have come a long way since then. And finally, we’re going to witness the godly battle between two supreme beings in the Jujutsuverse. On one hand, Gojo is said to be the world’s strongest Jujutsu sorcerer of today. On the other, Sukuna is called the King of Curses and the strongest sorcerer in history. As Tai Lung from Kung Fu Panda says, “Finally! A Worthy Opponent! Our Battle Will Be Legendary!” It is indeed gonna be legendary!

Technically, during the first Gojo vs Sukuna battle, Sukuna wasn’t at his full power as Yuji had only consumed one of his fingers. That’s not the case anymore, as Sukuna has regained most of his powers. So, everyone is madly waiting to witness this battle, and we are hyped to the core. Gojo was questioned by Itadori in JJK Season 1 Episode 2 (manga chapter 3) about who was stronger between him and Sukuna. Then, Gojo remarked that it might be a little difficult for him to defeat the King of Curses if Sukuna ate all his fingers and regained his full power. So, Itadori, being the simpleton he is, asked Gojo if he would lose, to which he said, “No, I would win.”

In the very same scene, Sukuna expressed that Gojo will be the first person he’ll kill for sure once he makes Itadori’s body his own. To which Gojo funnily replied, “It’s an honor to be targeted by Sukuna.” These exact phrases get repeated in Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 221, and this throwback makes us feel the long journey we have taken to reach here. These two powerful characters in Jujutsu Kaisen have been waiting to beef against each from the start and it’s about to happen soon.

Now, before we start talking about the Gojo Vs Sukuna battle in the manga and how their fight might go, let’s assess the powers and abilities of both of the supreme beings.

JJK Gojo Satoru: Power and Abilities

Warning: The below sections carry the latest information about Gojo and Sukuna’s powers and abilities. So, you have been warned about the spoilers, and do read the manga up to the 229 chapter to avoid ruining your experience.

Let’s now look at a breakdown of the powers and abilities of the strongest sorcerer in existence in the JJK world for the Gojo Vs Sukuna battle in the manga. We not only talk about Gojo’s jujutsu techniques and domain expansion but also his physical combat skills.

Intelligence

Let’s remark on Gojo’s intelligence first. Many of us are incapable of appreciating Gojo’s tactical acumen. Gojo is so skilled at devising new plans of action and putting them into action to fit any circ*mstance. He has triumphed over countless challenging circ*mstances that have been hurled at him.

He, for instance, conquered the one flaw Toji exploited to his advantage (which we will see in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2) and became the strongest. Another excellent example is how, in a matter of seconds, he devised a more effective strategy to fight against opponents like Choso, Hanami, Jogo, and Mahito and save the citizens at the same time in the Shibuya arc. Thus, Gojo’s tactical knowledge will be a key factor in his fight against Sukuna.

Physical Abilities

• Exceptional Strength: Don’t let Gojo’s appearance fool you, he doesn’t have a sturdy body. Yet he possesses incredible strength to give anyone a hard time. This was seen in his battle with Jogo in Season 1, where he totally toyed with him using his mighty strength.
• Unreal Speed and Teleportation Power: Gojo is exceptionally fast and has superb reflexes, which come in handy during battle. Additionally, Gojo also has teleportation powers that allow him to warp in and out (although it hasn’t been explained properly until now).
• Substantial Cursed Energy Reserve: Gojo is regarded as the strongest sorcerer because he has an incredible amount of cursed energy reserves. This allows him to perform feats that seem impossible to others, such as multiple daily instances of using Domain Expansion.
• Hand-to-Hand Combat: Gojo Satoru is extremely skilled in hand-to-hand combat and can punish anyone if they are not careful. The aforementioned amazing strength and speed greatly elevate his hand-to-hand combat skill.
• Six Eyes: Gojo Satoru possesses the treasured “Six Eyes,” which he inherited from his Jujutsu clan. It allows him to see the world in a totally different way and process all the information much faster than anyone else. It significantly helps in utilizing the other inherited technique called the “Limitless.” That’s also the reason we see Gojo wearing a blindfold in Jujutsu Kaisen at all times.

Jujutsu Techniques

• Limitless: It is a natural technique of the Gojo family, which allows the user to manipulate cursed energy in a precise way at the atomic level. As a result, the users gain complete power and control over space. This technique gave birth to Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue, Cursed Technique Lapse – Maximum Cursed Energy Output: Blue, Cursed Technique Reversal: Red and Hollow Technique: Purple.
• Infinity: It is the ability to create an infinity space (like an invisible defensive shield) between the user and the others. Only the user can decide what can enter and what cannot. For example, if someone attacks Gojo, they strike the infinity and not the user directly. It is how Gojo remains untouchable. Furthermore, it is considered the basic form of the Limitless technique.
• Reverse Cursed Technique: It is the ability to convert cursed energy to positive energy to heal oneself, and Gojo uses it around the clock. Gojo mastered this technique after his battle against Toji Fushiguro. It is not confirmed if Gojo can heal his allies like Yuta or Shoko or Sukuna did.

Domain Expansion

Unlimited Void: This is Gojo’s great domain expansion, capable of destroying anybody. He creates an abstract-like environment where the adversaries are constantly exposed to various sensations and information, which inhibits their ability to think and act freely. Furthermore, if wanted, Gojo can activate his Domain only for 0.2 seconds because of how perfectly he can handle it.

JJK Ryomen Sukuna: Power and Abilities

Note: As of now, Sukuna has consumed 15 out of 20 fingers and has great control over Megumi’s body with the completion of the Bath ritual in manga chapter 216.

Just like we did for Gojo, let’s quickly examine the prowess of the King of Curses for the Gojo Vs Sukuna battle in the manga. Sukuna too boasts a lot of incredible powers like Gojo, and here’s everything you need to know:

Intelligence

Sukuna is by far the most intelligent cursed spirit of all time. He holds immense knowledge about curses, cursed energy, cursed techniques, etc. As he is highly knowledgeable, his understanding of how everything works in this Jujutsu world has helped him greatly. He can quickly devise brilliant plans to defeat his opponents, which was seen in his battle with the shinigami, Mahoraga.

Physical Abilities

• Incredible Strength: Sukuna possesses tremendous strength compared to all the special-grade spirits we have seen so far.
• Godly Speed and Reflexes: Sukuna is invincible with his insane speed and reflexes. Sukuna can strike his opponents even before one starts to realize his move.
• Great Resilience: Sukuna was able to withstand mighties blows thrown against him. Even when he was sent flying and collapsing with multiple buildings.
• Massive amount of Cursed Energy: It’s only natural for the King of Curses to possess a gigantic amount of cursed energy inside him. With this, he can perform any feat without even getting a slight feeling of exhaustion.

Jujutsu Techniques

• Dismantle and Cleave: It is an automatic adjusting slash attack that adjusts itself based on the enemy’s skills and cuts them off in one single slash rapidly.
• Unknown Fire Power: Red-hot fire attacks are created by Sukuna, who has complete control over them. In comparison to Jogo’s fire blasts, it is more fierce and potent.

Domain Expansion

Malevolent Shrine: As implied by the title, Sukuna leads the opponents to a shrine that is covered with skulls. The biggest catch here is that, unlike other domain expansions, this one doesn’t have its own enclosed space. As a result, it is stated that Sukuna can execute any strike and be certain to hit the target within a 200-meter radius.

Gojo vs Sukuna Battle in the JJK Manga

As every fan must already be aware, the much-awaited Gojo vs Sukuna battle has kicked off in the manga. After Gojo was unsealed from the Prison Realm in Jujutsu Kaisen, these two sorcerers first came face to face in Chapter 221. Then, the two started to duel starting in Chapter 223, and their fight is still ongoing in Chapter 229. This section will be updated weekly until we have ourselves a winner, so bookmark this article and grab your popcorn!

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 223

• Gojo commenced the fight by coming up with a sneaky move called Boosted Hollow Purple (200% output) to obliterate Sukuna in one go. This was done with help from Utahime and Kiyotaka Ijichi. And well, Gojo was able to catch Sukuna off-guard and landed his maximized Hollow Purple. While we expected this to deal a heavy blow to Sukuna, he momentarily lost an arm and recovered quickly using his reverse cursed technique.

Jujutsu KaisenChapter 224

• Next up, both sorcerers get co*cky and pass some comments on each other. As a result, they get into intense hand-to-hand combat exchanging serious blows and destroying everything in their surrounding. But they both are having their times of lives and quite literally enjoying this battle.

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 225

• This chapter is where things start to heat up for real. In this chapter, the much-awaited clash of the Domain Expansion between the two sorcerers happens, and it certainly blew our minds. As the clash was even, their barriers overlapped each other and got canceled out. As a result, both were fighting with their domains open. It was stated that if one user received heavy damage or one of the domains collapses, the result will be that the other user’s guaranteed hit will strike the collapsed user immediately. One should know that Sukuna’s attack range extends to the outside of the exterior of Gojo’s barrier, and Gojo’s barrier is weak against outside attacks. Thus, Sukuna was able to perform a quick slash attack, which nearly decapitated Gojo’s head.

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 226

• In this chapter, things get worse for Gojo as his domain gets obliterated by Sukuna. Sukuna dealt massive slashes to Gojo which made him bloody in appearance. Sukuna once again proved how he is overwhelmingly stronger than Gojo in domain clashes. Gojo suffered severe injuries but comes up with a way to fight him with the simple domain. Although it did buy him some time, things get bloody again for Gojo but he secretly healed his burnt-out cursed technique with reverse cursed technique. And thunderously strikes Sukuna with a Red technique to destroy Sukuna as well as his Malevolent Shrine together. Gojo suddenly gained the upper hand at the end of this chapter

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 227

• A bigger chapter where Gojo pulls back his domain “Infinity Void” again after getting crushed last time. This time also the result stays the same but he is trying out something different. Sukuna as he got more familiar with this domain can easily break it as many times as he want. Gojo once again while suffering fatal cuts decides to go for a domain challenge again but this time with a super tiny barrier.

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 228

• In the comeback chapter of Gojo, he brilliantly takes advantage of the time he spent in Prison Realm. By creating a small size domain he knows how to proceed inside the compact as he spent days there. Although Sukuna once again thrashed Gojo’s domain, with that opening Gojo landed a massive blow that will restrain Sukuna from using his domain. While this clash gets heated up further by exchanging fists again, Gojo begins to wonder why Sukuna hasn’t used the Ten Shadows technique, especially Mahoraga. He begins to question just like us (the fans)

Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 229

• In this chapter, Gojo perfectly made use of an opening to deal a deadly blow to Sukuna in yet another one of their Domain clashes. He was able to pierce through Sukuna’s body. As a result, Sukuna, stunned by Gojo’s overflowing powers, used the much-awaited trump card and summoned the Mahoraga, which is a big twist in the battle. When Gojo planned to eliminate the general within a single move, General Mahoraga adapted to Unlimited Void instantly!

At this moment, Sukuna is rapidly falling on the losing side while Gojo is soaring high on adrenaline as he paves his way to victory. Let’s see what Gege has in store for us more for the Gojo Vs Sukuna battle in the manga, and we can’t wait for the next chapter release!

Gojo vs Sukuna: Who Will Win the Fight (Our Prediction)

It’s the most hyped/ expected fight in the series, I’m sure the author Gege Akutami will have surprising factors ready up his sleeves, which will serve as an important factor in this mighty clash. Gojo and Sukuna both are at their peak right now. Furthermore, Sukuna is now in control of Megumi’s body, which will serve as an added bonus for him.

Sukuna’s Advantage

Sukuna is already overpowered with cursed energies and techniques, but he now also has control over the Ten Shadows technique and has tamed the huge shinigami – Mahoraga. It is mentioned that Mahoraga can read enemy attacks, adapt to any situation, and overcome it without any difficulty. Moreover, not a single person from the Zenin clan has been able to tame Mahoraga, and a member of the Gojo family was defeated by it in the past. But Sukuna used Malevolent Shrine to achieve this feat in the Shibuya Arc.

In addition to that, Sukuna has also tamed the Round Deer, which is capable of healing itself and its user. The main advantage of having control of this shinigami is that it can ruin the opponent’s control over cursed energy with its positive energy (reverse cursed technique). This combination is just ridiculous, and we can’t predict which direction the fight will go. But, the combination of these powers certainly makes Sukuna the most powerful curse user for the time being.

Blast From the Past

During a flashback in the Shibuya Incident arc (manga chapter 117), Gojo mentioned that a Ten Shadows technique user was able to successfully defeat a Limitless cursed technique user with Six Eyes. The same battle is about to break out on December 24 in the manga, but this time Sukuna has his own cursed techniques in his arsenal along with the Ten Shadows technique.

So was this a foreshadowing and the history will repeat again? It’s a clear and reliable answer to the question – who will win this fight? But, let’s not underestimate Gojo sensei. Gojo has grown a lot in terms of power. He is the strongest there is after all and is pretty confident and sanguine about this power. He is that guy and only he can rewrite the history by defeating Sukuna.

Gojo vs Sukuna: Final Result in Jujutsu Kaisen

We will not only see Gojo employ his hand-to-hand combat skills but also techniques more powerful than Hollow Purple to possibly defeat Mahoraga (it’s difficult but possible) before moving on to take on Sukuna head-on. As we mentioned, the Sukuna vs Gojo battle can go in any direction, as both of them are utterly powerful. But still, Gege can surprise us in many ways and have our jaws touch the floor with a plot twist or remarkable fight panels in the manga.

And that’s everything we know about the battle between these two godly characters. We have come to this conclusion based on all the facts that were presented to us so far over 200+ chapters. With that said, we will frequently update this article with new information that we get in new chapters in the upcoming months. So, stay tuned and follow this battle with us to learn who will emerge victorious at the end in the Gojo Vs Sukuna battle in the manga. In the meantime, who do you think is stronger between these two — Sukuna or Gojo? And why? Let’s discuss all the possibilities in the comments below.
