Although Jujutsu Kaisen may have concluded the battle between the strongest, it continues to have an impact on the story – Sukuna’s use of a technique learned from Gojo is evidence of this.
The final arc of Jujutsu Kaisen began with an epic showdown between the two strongest characters. Although the manga’s depiction of Gojo vs Sukuna only spans about 14 chapters, it has a profound impact on the story’s direction. Despite his eventual defeat, Gojo’s formidable skills keep Sukuna on high alert for a significant period of time.
Despite feeling completely drained during the battle, Gojo refused to show any signs of weakness. Overusing his powers had caused serious damage to his brain, but he persevered and even came up with a solution to reset his burned Cursed Technique – a method of scraping and rebuilding his brain.
In Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 265, Sukuna employs a method reminiscent of Gojo’s to combat the sorcerers. Like Gojo, he resets his exhausted Cursed Technique. The popular Jujutsu Kaisen translator takes note of this similarity and elaborates on how the King of Curses has learned from his powerful opponent.

The translator noted that it was surprising that Gege answered the question of how Sukuna learned the CT reset method and revealed that it came from Gojo. It was also mentioned that Sukuna immediately grasped and replicated Gojo’s unconventional ideas, such as the tiny barrier, which remained significant until the very end.
They exclaimed, “Gojo is the sole individual who has successfully merged CT Lapse (Forward) and Reversal to form a Hollow/Void technique. We should consider ourselves fortunate that Sukuna has not yet mastered his Hollow technique. I can’t even imagine what it would entail.”
In addition, fans have also chimed in on the discussion, with one individual stating, “Gojo possesses great foresight as he is able to improvise on the spot. On the other hand, Sukuna is a natural talent when it comes to mimicking and mastering techniques, making their fight a risky move for both of them. While Gojo may weaken Sukuna, he also has the potential to learn new tactics from him.”
“It’s remarkable that he was able to perfectly replicate the technique after seeing it just once, and even more impressive that he grasped its limitations and capabilities, which the creator of the technique may not have fully understood,”another commentator wrote on Twitter.
The release date for the final chapter of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga will be announced in the coming weeks, so be sure to stay updated.
