His meticulous timing of a 0.2-second Domain Expansion safeguards civilians while completely obliterating all enemies. The scale of eliminating 1,000 foes in under 300 seconds underscores Gojo’s unmatched dominance in manipulating cursed techniques while effectively neutralizing predominant threats.
