Sukuna
In the manga's canon, Sukuna defeats Gojo during the Shinjuku Showdown — but the circumstances make this one of the most disputed outcomes in anime history. Sukuna required Mahoraga, a shikigami from Megumi's Ten Shadows Technique, to adapt to and break through Gojo's Infinity. Without that specific counter, most powerscaling analysts argue Gojo wins cleanly. Gojo's Six Eyes give him perfect cursed energy efficiency, his Unlimited Void domain guarantees a hit that incapacitates any opponent, and his Infinity makes direct physical attacks functionally impossible. Sukuna's counter-arguments are real — his Malevolent Shrine attacks outside barriers, his regeneration is near-limitless, and a thousand years of combat experience gives him angles no modern sorcerer can anticipate. The question fans keep returning to: was Sukuna's win a genuine power victory, or a specific counter that won't apply in every scenario?

Frequently Asked Questions
Who would win, Gojo Satoru or Sukuna?
In the Jujutsu Kaisen manga canon, Sukuna defeats Gojo during the Shinjuku Showdown. However, most powerscaling analysts argue the outcome depended entirely on Mahoraga's adaptation to Infinity — a condition-specific counter. Without it, Gojo's Infinity, Six Eyes, and Unlimited Void domain make him extremely difficult to defeat. The debate is genuinely contested with strong arguments on both sides.
Is Gojo stronger than Sukuna?
At their absolute peaks, Gojo and Sukuna are the two closest characters in Jujutsu Kaisen's power hierarchy. Gojo's Infinity and Six Eyes make him technically the more defensive fighter, but Sukuna's Malevolent Shrine and Ten Shadows Technique give him more offensive versatility. Most analysts place them within the same tier, with the edge determined by fight conditions.
Why did Gojo lose to Sukuna in JJK?
Sukuna used Mahoraga — a shikigami from Megumi's Ten Shadows Technique — to adapt to and eventually break through Gojo's Infinity, the normally impenetrable barrier that makes Gojo untouchable. Many fans argue Gojo's loss was conditional on this specific counter, and that Sukuna without access to Ten Shadows Technique could not replicate the outcome.
Did Sukuna beat Gojo?
Yes — Sukuna kills Gojo in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 236. However, the circumstances are heavily debated. Sukuna fought with the aid of Mahoraga and effectively engaged Gojo in a 3v1 scenario. Gojo later returned in a modified form through Yuta Okkotsu's body, suggesting the fight is not fully resolved narratively.
