Gojo vs Sukuna: A Dark Souls Twist

Ongoing debates among the fandom regarding the Gojo vs Sukuna fight continue, even after its conclusion in chapter 236. Since the battle wrapped up nearly a year ago, fans have speculated about different outcomes had Mahoraga and Sukuna’s adaptation of the Ten Shadows technique not played a role.

Meanwhile, discussions surrounding the outcome of the Gojo vs Sukuna battle have reignited, with some fans labeling Sukuna a “noob”for relying on summons during his confrontation with Gojo. Critics argue that the use of Mahoraga implies Sukuna did not truly best Gojo in an honorable fight.

“Sukuna is really a scrub for using summons,”one fan opined.

“Using summons? You didn’t beat Gojo,”another fan added.

Chapter 236 confirmed Gojo’s demise after Mahoraga allowed Sukuna to breach Infinity. Although fans continue to speculate about Gojo’s potential return, no developments supporting this theory have surfaced thus far.

Allegations of spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 269 suggest the possible return of Yuta and Higuruma, characters who were previously thought to be dead. This has led many in the fandom to theorize that Gojo might also come back in the final chapters, as the story is anticipated to conclude in chapter 271.
