Gojo vs Itachi — the cross-series ability debate that the anime community has argued longer than almost any other, and still has no clean answer.

This matchup captures something fundamental about how different anime power systems interact. Gojo's Infinity is a physical defence concept — it reduces force to zero. Itachi's Tsukuyomi and Izanami operate through visual and sensory channels rather than physical force. The central question is whether Infinity blocks genjutsu — which is not a physical attack but a technique applied through the senses. Gojo's Six Eyes give him extraordinary sensory awareness that may grant resistance to visual techniques. But Izanami requires no continuous eye contact once applied and cannot be escaped through power. If Izanami lands, Gojo's Infinity is irrelevant. If Gojo's Six Eyes prevent Izanami from landing, he wins through Unlimited Void.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who would win, Gojo or Itachi?
This is one of anime's most genuinely unresolvable cross-series debates. Gojo's Unlimited Void addresses Itachi's sensory techniques by overwhelming all senses simultaneously. Itachi's Izanami cannot be escaped through power once applied. The fight likely comes down to timing: who establishes their domain first. Most analysts slightly favour Gojo due to Unlimited Void's instant application, but the Izanami counter keeps this alive.
Can Infinity block Itachi's genjutsu?
Infinity reduces physical force to zero — genjutsu in Naruto is applied through visual and sensory channels rather than physical force. Whether Infinity applies to sensory-based techniques is the central debate. Most analysts consider Infinity insufficient to block Tsukuyomi or Izanami — they are not physical attacks that force reduction applies to.
Can Gojo resist Tsukuyomi?
Gojo's Six Eyes provide extraordinary sensory awareness and cursed energy precision. Whether this translates to genjutsu resistance is unclear — JJK's power system does not include genjutsu as a defined category. The argument is that Six Eyes' awareness may allow Gojo to detect the technique's application and break it before it takes hold, similar to how strong-willed characters in Naruto break genjutsu.
What is Izanami and why is it so powerful?
Izanami is a Mangekyō Sharingan genjutsu that creates an infinite loop of sensory experience. Once applied, the target relives the same sensory moment indefinitely with no power-based escape. The only way to break Izanami is to accept one's fate — a psychological resolution rather than a combat one. It cannot be overpowered, outlasted, or technically countered. This makes it one of the most broken ability-based techniques in Naruto.
