The manga scene is abuzz with the latest revelations from Jujutsu Kaisen’s chapter 238. With the recent on-screen confrontation between Kashimo and Sukuna, and the unprecedented event that almost claimed Gojo, fans are fervently discussing the power hierarchies among sorcerers.
Kashimo’s Showdown: Setting the Records Straight
In the aforementioned chapter, Kashimo’s ability to evade the lethal attack that almost took down Gojo sent shockwaves through the fandom. Such a feat raised a pivotal question: “Could Kashimo be stronger than Gojo?”
However, as gripping as this twist was, the dynamics of the battle offer clarity. Sukuna, an enigmatic and dominant cursed spirit, had just faced off with Gojo. The clash left Sukuna in a less than optimal state, with a diminished strength reservoir. But even in this state, he managed to overpower Kashimo by unveiling a potent form.
Limitations of Kashimo’s Technique vs. Gojo’s Limitless Barrier
Kashimo’s own cursed technique, Mythical Beast Amber, undoubtedly stands out for its prowess. But, comparing it to Gojo’s Limitless Barrier showcases its boundaries. Sukuna, despite his vast reserves of strength, had to devise a strategy to surpass Gojo’s unsurpassable barrier by resorting to Mahoraga.
This clear demarcation in power dynamics indicates that Kashimo, although formidable, doesn’t surpass Gojo in terms of sheer indestructibility.

Unpacking Gojo’s Unexpected Defeat
One might argue that Kashimo’s dodge demonstrates a tactical acumen superior to Gojo’s. But Gojo’s demise came from a sudden, almost alien technique, powerful enough to warp space. Such a technique, being unpredictable, could easily surprise and overwhelm even the elite sorcerers, making it less of a testament to Gojo’s vulnerability and more of an attestation to the technique’s lethality.
Further, Sukuna’s transformation during his duel with Kashimo doesn’t inherently offer the latter an upper hand. Instead, Sukuna’s evolution to his true form was an ongoing process, leading to the eventual downfall of Kashimo, once revered as the God of Lighting. This comparison puts Gojo, who posed a significant challenge to Sukuna, on a pedestal that Kashimo has yet to reach.
Jujutsu Kaizen’s Upcoming Intrigue
While Kashimo’s valiant fight met a sorrowful end, the plot thickens with the entrance of Higuruma and Yuji onto the stage. Observant fans have noted similarities between Yuji’s arms and Sukuna’s, leading to myriad speculations on Yuji’s evolving cursed techniques.
The narrative continues to weave an entrancing tapestry of curses, sorcery, and unending mysteries. Each chapter’s unveiling further entices readers, leaving them yearning for more, eagerly speculating and discussing the next narrative twist.
