Satoru Gojo and Ryomen Sukuna embody the pinnacle of immense power in Jujutsu Kaisen, as both sorcerers were regarded as the strongest in their respective eras. The gap in strength between these two and the other characters is so vast that even a severely weakened Sukuna was able to dominate any sorcerer who confronted him.
As fans reminisce about the legendary clash that unfolded during the early stages of the Shinjuku Showdown arc, it’s evident that both characters are unmatched in their capabilities.
Despite Sukuna and Gojo’s status as the most powerful characters in the series, a comprehensive examination of their cursed techniques reveals that their greatest strengths are strikingly different.
Jujutsu Kaisen: Contrast Between Sukuna’s Strength and Satoru Gojo
The Shinjuku Showdown arc was the anticipated battle of titans as Satoru Gojo faced the unrivaled King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna, to determine the strongest jujutsu sorcerer ever.
This confrontation was not just a test of strength or jujutsu mastery but a measure of wits, knowledge, and strategy. Ultimately, Sukuna triumphed, showcasing his proficiency as he eliminated Gojo with a single, world-bisecting strike.
Each character leveraged their unique strengths throughout the fight, employing techniques refined over time. However, a detailed analysis of their moves reveals that Sukuna’s greatest strength stands in direct opposition to Gojo’s.
To understand this better, let’s examine their respective cursed techniques.
Sukuna’s Cursed Technique – Shrine
Ryomen Sukuna’s cursed technique, known as Shrine, allows him to unleash slashes at various ranges and summon destructive flames. His primary slashing attacks are Cleave and Dismantle, while his fire attack, Divine Flame, can only be used after executing the previous two attacks.
Sukuna’s slashes are among the most devastating in the series, having laid waste to the city of Shibuya and decimating other Special Grade cursed spirits.
While one might assume Sukuna’s slashes or Divine Flame to be his greatest strengths, the reality is that his true power lies in his profound understanding of jujutsu sorcery.
This has been illustrated multiple times throughout the series. Sukuna’s extensive knowledge of jujutsu sorcery enables him to exploit loopholes in Binding Vows and manipulate them to his advantage. His experience as a sorcerer in the Heian Era provided him with the ability to learn and perfect any technique he witnessed even once.
For instance, Sukuna modeled his enhanced Dismantle attack after Mahoraga’s second adaptation to Gojo’s Limitless, extending its range to bisect the very world itself. This power allowed him to defeat Gojo in a single stroke, rendering it potentially the most overwhelming attack in the series.
Satoru Gojo’s Cursed Technique – Limitless
In contrast, Satoru Gojo’s greatest strengths lie in his innate cursed technique, Limitless, and his Six Eyes, both inherited from his clan. Limitless grants Gojo absolute control over space through cursed energy manipulation at an atomic level, allowing him to distort the space around him at will.
This technique is incredibly powerful, leading to Gojo’s development of the Infinity barrier, which slows down approaching objects and makes him virtually untouchable to most attacks.
The Six Eyes, while less detailed in explanation compared to Limitless, serve to reduce Gojo’s cursed energy consumption to zero, ensuring he never exhausts his energy, regardless of how much he uses.
A Brief Comparison of Gojo and Sukuna’s Greatest Strengths
Clearly, Satoru Gojo’s greatest strength stems from his highly potent cursed techniques inherited from his lineage.
Conversely, Sukuna’s greatest strength arises from his extensive knowledge of jujutsu sorcery and his experience in the ruthless Heian Era, regarded as the peak period of sorcery.
In summary, Sukuna’s strategic mindset and profound understanding eclipsed Gojo’s formidable abilities, cementing his status as the Strongest Sorcerer in History.
