In the realm of battle shonen, power scaling is a tradition as old as the genre itself. And when it comes to the modern titan of shonen, ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’, the debates around character strengths are as fiery as the battles depicted in the series. Among the plethora of powerful characters, two names often find themselves at the center of these heated discussions – Gojo Satoru and Ryomen Sukuna. The question that has been on every fan’s mind has finally been answered in a dramatic showdown. But before we delve into the details, be warned, the following discussion is a minefield of spoilers up to chapter 236 of the ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ manga.
The Prelude to the Battle
The world of ‘Jujutsu Kaisen‘ is no stranger to powerful entities, with characters like Gojo and Tengen often being the subjects of power scaling debates. However, the most tantalizing comparison has always been between Gojo, the strongest sorcerer, and Sukuna, the malevolent Cursed Spirit. The mere thought of these behemoths clashing has always been a tantalizing prospect for fans.
Initially, Gojo’s superiority seemed apparent, especially after their first encounter where Gojo effortlessly overpowered Sukuna. But it’s crucial to note that Sukuna was far from his full strength, with his vessel, Yuji Itadori, having consumed only one of Sukuna’s fingers. As the narrative progressed, Sukuna’s increasing power level became evident with each additional finger consumed, escalating the anticipation for a rematch.
The Clash of Titans
Gojo’s arsenal of abilities is nothing short of awe-inspiring. His Six Eyes, Limitless, and the domain expansion, Unlimited Void, coupled with his physical prowess, make him a formidable foe. However, as Sukuna inches closer to his full potential, the scales of power begin to tip.
The battle that fans had been yearning for finally unfolded in the manga, and just when it seemed like Gojo had triumphed in chapter 235, the following chapter turned the tables. Sukuna, employing Mahoraga, adapted to Gojo’s Infinity, devising a slashing technique capable of cutting through existence and space itself. This lethal technique overcame Gojo’s defenses, leading to a shocking and brutal end for the strongest sorcerer.
The Verdict
The aftermath of the battle left no room for doubt—Sukuna emerged as the stronger of the two. Even in the afterlife, Gojo acknowledges Sukuna’s superiority, expressing a sense of honor in falling to a stronger adversary.
This revelation not only settles the long-standing debate but also raises a grave concern. With Gojo, the strongest defense against evil forces gone, what hope does the world of ‘Jujutsu Kaisen‘ hold against the menacing threat of Sukuna?
