Why Gojo VS Sukuna Was NOT Close.

Goro Sato and R anduk the two individuals stand alone at the top of jusu society they are both so different and yet so similar they both seek out strong opponents but for different reasons Gojo wants to bring about a new age of judical Society with strong and intelligent Sorcerers to overthrow the previous ones who only see those from certain Clans or unique Bloodlines as special and the rest as garbage sua however doesn't care about that he simply eats destroys and fights whoever he pleases to satiate his own urges he has no goal he is evil

without a motive he brings about death and blood wherever he goes for the sake of entertainment but what about their battle intelligence battle IQ is different from normal IQ in the sense that it's more focused on applying your knowledge to battle things like battle strategy combat knowledge and your overall skill are some of the most important things to decide who's better in this category and what's a better way to figure this out and whose body IQ is better than to analyze the most important chapters covering Gojo veruka in Jud aizen's manga and before this i'

like to say Please Subscribe I'm close to 30k so if you enjoy this type of content Please Subscribe chapter 223 of judicia kaisen is the start of Gojo and suk's battle before we get into it however there's some things you need to keep in mind Gojo and Suk are both mutually agreed to give each other a month to prepare for their fight so Gojo and sukina have an equal amount of prep time as well as their allies sua was already aware of Gojo's move set and most notably Limitless and the six eyes this is because

of Kaku who has over thousands of years of EXP experience and knowledge about curses and curse techniques more importantly he's encountered 6 eyes/ Limitless uses in the past so Gojo shouldn't be any different but back to the chapter at the start we see Gojo head to the top of a building in Shinjuku where utahime and gaku ganji have taken their place now you're probably wondering why Gojo has a weaker sorcerer assisting him before his battle with sua weren't they both just be collateral damage well actually no it's revealed that Utah's curse technique is known as

solo forbidden area this allows the user to temporarily amplify the cursed energy of not just the user but any sorcerer within range it's elevated via a ritual which involves incantations music hand signs and dance following all these steps correctly allows the techniques Effectiveness to be raised by 120% but Gojo isn't done he strategically planned to raise the destructive capability and power of hollow purple by 200% however suket is on the opposite building and so if if he sees Gojo's Hollow purple he's just going to do everything he can to defend against it so what does

Gojo do he has a sorcerer by the name of ichiji set him up a barrier to Shield the attack in order to make sua misjudge the true strength of Gojo's 200% Hollow purple this plan works as by the time the attack is sent towards sua he's barely able to Shield himself fully without taking damage as the smoke settles sukna is injured but he used reverse curse technique to heal his arm so what was the point of the attack well first you need to understand and remember the hollow purple alone is Gojo's strongest attack but at

200% an attack at that level would kill any sorcerer especially sua Gojo essentially wanted to end the fight as soon as it started which is why he had ich put up a barrier so sua would be caught off guard Gojo wasn't pulling all his points on his strategy as essentially he thought of it like oh I'll just try this if it kills him it's disappointing since I wanted a good fight but whatever so no 200% Hollow purple wasn't pointless like a lot of fans thought it had a purpose we then move on to chapter 224

where Gojo and sua engage in hand-to-hand combat since the fight is happening so fast on the panels it's hard to actually analyze their fighting style we know that Gojo's fighting style has a lot of elements regarding Wing Chun which consists of Rapid Fire punches straightforward efficiency and overall close quarter combat sua doesn't have a set in stone fighting style though and this isn't to downplay him at all as he's still a master at hand toand combat and that is shown in the mahara fight sua simply fights freestyle and goes for a more brutish s overpowering

method due to his absurd level of curse energy and especially being in yuji's body which is already superhuman levels of physical strength however remember that sukuna in this fight is far different from Yuji Kuna sukuna in yuji's body sukuna has taken megami's body hence the black hair and sua has the ability of 10 Shadows however despite sua's upgraded body Goa absolutely dominates sukina in hand to hand and the power of his punches are even greater than normal as he's using blue to enhance his movements and power which is why go is moving around so fast

sua however doesn't let this bother him he still has a smile on his face and actually shows another good showing of his body IQ by using his two cutting techniques cleave and dismantle to his advantage in the high-rise Battlefield sua also uses his domain amplification in order to not only counter goa's Limitless but be able to touch him since chapter 225 just involves the Side cast talking it's nothing more than Exposition specifically Exposition on domain expansions but we can use this chapter to clear up a possible misconception that being megami's domain expansion is meant to

be a barrierless domain expansion some believe that megami's domain expansion is meant to be a barrierless domain but from everything we've seen Inu to Kaizen a barrierless domain is not affected by the technique but rather by the Mastery of a person's Jiu-Jitsu example one being sua himself and example two being Kaku so why couldn't Gojo do a barrierless domain expansion he's the strongest Sorcerer of his generation right based on how the modern Sorcerers react to the information that Suk and kaku's domain expansion are open and not enclosed it's safe to assume that no one in

the modern era knew that it was possible and such Mastery must have been so rare that the information must have died as even kusakabe refutes it moving on we finally see godra and suca engage in a domain Clash both of the sure hit effects of their domains are of equal strength cancelling each other out within inside the barrier but outside the barrier suk's domain expansion is still there and it breaks Gojo's barrier which is weak to outside threats and then we see sua taking the opportunity to dismantle Gojo inside of his domain expansion while Gojo's

reverse curse technique goes on overdrive healing him from every cut he gets while getting cut again and again and then we learn that goo's technique is better than suk's technique but this leads us to another misconception and that being Gojo should have just teleported out of the barrier and spamed Hollow purple from out of it well aside from the fact that the cast explains why that's literally not possible we can delve a bit deeper into this let's say that Gojo's technique is restored why doesn't he just teleport out well remember Gojo's entirely focused on his

reverse curse technique to keep him alive in the shrine and the fact that Gojo survived something that essentially raced the ground in Shia is insane but Gojo cannot use his technique because even if he were to do so for a split second he'd stop using reverse curse technique to heal himself and he would die even if he were to teleport out Hollow purple has a windup time and with the amount of time it would take to set it up sua would have caught up to him and not let him finish this isn't Dragon Ball where

the opponents let the other charge up their strongest attack so any scenario that involves teleporting out or using Hollow purple is essentially a lose lose scenario for Gojo and even the Cur explains why that's not possible as I stated previously moving on we see the two of them engage in hand-to-hand combat as goo and sua are keeping up with one another as Goa then uses simple domain to explain since simple domain does create a hole negating the sure hit effect but since a simple domain is much too weak it crumbles Inside sua's My Level and

Shrine but it buys goo ample time to regenerate they then go back into a fist fight then after the simple domain is destroyed goo is cut again but he does another simple domain but this time he does not use reverse curse technique to heal himself how come instead he uses it to heal his technique getting rid of its downtime and using red to launch sua towards the shrine letting Goa leave the range of Suk malevolent Shrine we then see the two in another domain battle but this time sua expands his domain expansion to its Max

while Gojo changes the conditions of his domain expansion to make its exterior strong enough to withstand the sh hit effect off the outside with both the sh hit effects neutralizing each other inside the barrier they switch back to hand-to-hand combat but this time sua uses domain amplification so as to be able to harm Gojo this also tells us a domain can be in play even if the user is not using that technique the two of them fight a bit but suddenly sua touches Gojo directly turning off the sh hit effect inside the domain th strengthening

the effect outside the domain resulting in Gojo's barrier breaking again domain battle score is 1 to sua but this time goo has a trick up his sleeve against suk's domain expansion falling Blossom and motion to explain unlike simple domain in which the user manifests their own domain to nullify a domain's expansions Auto hit attack falling Blossom emotion shrouds the US user in cursed energy that counters attacks the moment a domain's guaranteed hit makes contact the cursed energy defends the user automatically countering any attack with equal force to nullify it while falling Blossom emotion doesn't stop

him from being injured it does make the cuts shallow this allows Gojo to expand his domain expansion to its absolute Max limit before compressing it to something smaller than a basketball something he learned from being inside the prison realm for so long we then see sua reduce his domain expansion size to match Gojo's increasing the potency of his sh hit effect so from this we can conclude that the size of domain expansion is inversely proportional strength of the sh hit effect but then we see this time both Gojo and sua can't maintain their domains any

longer with Gojo's barrier being broken and suk's being too damaged which would be important later all of this happened in 3 minutes so now both sides have a time limit to beat if they want to gain another up hand domain expansion battle score is 20 with the last one being a tie and now the fight devolves into hand-to-hand combat again and this time we can see Gojo's inner thoughts we is confused as to why sua has been playing at risky in these battles even when he could have just done things faster in the second domain

expansion battle so from this we know that sua hasn't used any of his curse techniques at all for now other than the ones granted by his domain expansion and then we see Mahar ragas will turn in the next page from this we can safely assume that mahar's adaptation by asuka's body is possibly when he's not using any of his other techniques we then see the two of them go in for their fourth domain battle after they've regenerated with reverse curse technique they fight again long story short they both lose their domains at the same time

meaning it's a tie again but we can say that Gojo is the stronger fighter inside the domain compared to sua when they go in for a fifth domain battle we see that while Suk uses reverse curse technique to heal his technique it lags a bit as well as healing his body before his curse technique meaning that sua opened his domain expansion Z .01 seconds after Gojo which means that sua experienced unlimited void for 0.01 seconds but this also means that suk's domain lasts 2 minutes and 40 seconds inside of unlimited void instead of 3 minutes

which leaves him vulnerable inside of Gojo's domain expansion but this leads to mahara coming out already adapted to unlimited void instantly because of how adaptation works now here's some explanation on why adaptation and why mahara was instantly okay mahara can adapt in two ways by being out and taking the attacks to adapt to it or manifesting his will onto something that will take the damage for it to adapt to for example we see in chapter T the sua manifests mahar's will and in the later chapter taking on some of yoru's attacks to help mahara adaptation

in this battle we see two things happening when goo and sua were in domain battles their domains had slightly different targeting conditions goo's domain targeted everything inside of the domain while suk's domain targeted everything other than meami Soul which meant that meami received Gojo's domains sure hit effect but then why did suca get hit by unlimited void that one time if the damage is being dealt to Mega me as explained later Suk was using the 10 Shadows technique inside of the domain battles to help the adaptation process but during that one time he was using

reverse curse technique so he did not have the 10 Shadow technique active which meant he got hit full force with unlimited void moving on we get some Exposition on why sua did not use any technique since he was using the 10 Shadows technique to make meami bear the brunt of the adaptation process while doing this he could not use amplification so this is most what probably happened in the domain battles which we did not see inside of Goo realizes that it's not sua or Megami that have adapted to unlimited void but mahara and so he

can finish them off with another domain expansion but disaster strikes Gojo has been domain expansion in too much without much of a break while he used reverse curse technique to reset his technique after every domain expansion he's now suffering the after effects of too much domain expansion without breaks meaning his brain isn't fully healed enough to perform a domain expansion this is suk's win all Suk has to do is just open his domain once and it'll all be over and so he does but here's where we see suk's mess up he cannot open his domain

since he had taken direct damage from unlimited void his brain had been damaged enough for him to not be able to use his domain expansion anymore Su actually messed up big time here as if he had fought conventionally with with only domain battles he would have won but by hand capping himself with trying to adapt he took a big risk that cost him an early win they then switch back to hand to hand as the wind conditions for their battles have changed with both of their domain expansions off the table the winner is decided who

hits the hardest which we know is Gojo due to hollow purple if Gojo wants to win need to use attack that can kill sua faster than sua can perform an attack that can kill Gojo chapter 231 goes into detail as to how hard Gojo's punches are as previously stated he's been infusing his punches and movement with blue which is why he hits harder and he is so fast he hits so hard in fact that the raw power alone are on completely different level than even Toto and Yuji it's strong enough to make both Hikari and

UTA the former being special grade level depending on circumstances and the latter being an outright special grade sorcerer puke we then learn a bit more about mahar's adaptation process and its nuances when the wheel is experiencing the phenomena it's white but if so uses any other technique or domain amplification in this case the wheel turns black interrupting adaptation we also learned that the part of the brain that gets fried most probably deals with barrier techniques as Su can still freely use domain amplification we also see the will spin once again after the beating from Goa

from this the cast and Goa conclude that since Infinity is such a complex curse technique the will needs to spin multiple times for Mahar Raga to adapt and now the two have two different goals Gojo's goal is to kill sua before it spins three more times and sua's goal is to be damaged and stay alive for the will to spin three times godra and sua are fighting about with sua getting another spin on the Wheel to limit the speed of the adaptation Gojo is only using blue and to also take suk's guard off he uses

red but to also take Suk off guard he uses red we are then faced with a vital question what is need of adaptation time or experience we cannot tell for now as goer has only been using blue but if we were to use something else based on the outcome we can take a guess as to what is actually needed sua gets another spin meaning one final spin can turn the tide sua and Gojo then face off each other where Gojo throws sua by using red on him but sua realizes and uses domain amplification to minimize

the damage but he does not come out unscathed laughing while thinking he has the upper hand what he forgets is that it was all according to goo's plan by using the Builder's architecture he would take a full lap back to the same place where he would place a red in the beginning essentially a delayed Time Bomb this is an insane ft from Gojo considering he made this plan the second him and sua crashed into the building and began to fight each other this damages sua a lot and Gojo lands a final black flash which seals

the deal or it should have mahara comes out and is now adapted to infinity and suk's battle damage this lets Suk buy some time to heal himself while mahara takes on Gojo and now a sense of uneasiness spreads over everyone they see Gojo's cursed energy output is dropping everyone has a thought Gojo might lose Gojo is about to unleash a red on mahara using incantations to help with his falling curse energy output but the general explodes into a bunch of bunnies sua has healed and now Gojo has to go get sukuna while mahara is still

on his tail while sua has to protect mahara from any damage he hasn't adapted to yet while sukna has to protect mahara from any damage he hasn't adapted to yet we then see sua try and create openings for mahara to attack Goa we see sua use max elephant's water similar to piercing blood so sukna is also going in for the kill when mahara is erasing Gojo's Infinity with his attacks we also learn that mahara has adapted to Infinity but it may not have adapted to Red this is because Suk is using shikigami other than mahara

which means that mahar's adaptation is slowed a bit if things weren't getting harder for Gojo it's really getting tough now sua summons the merge Beast agito a combination of or Trang deer and mour tiger Gojo's Mission briefly changes as he now has to not only beat sua but all sua has to do is protect mahara and go in for the kill when he finds an opening and while fighting mahara Goa unleashes a red on it which slightly damages mahara from this he realizes that adaptation isn't instantaneous but gradual seeing the aggressiveness of the free and

the gradual adaptation of mahara godra reaches to a conclusion that they are done fighting defensive and now are going in for the kill his only way out would be to use hollow purple as it won't let mahara adapt to it at all since it would delete lead it sua and the merge Beast Goa comes to the conclusion that he should take out the fused Beast first as it hasn't adapted to Infinity but goer is being kept occupied by The Duo of mahara and agito agito and Suk have come to the conclusion that taking any sort

of purple at this close of a distance would be fatal and he needs mahara to come up with something to counter Gojo and suddenly the turn of the will signals the turn of the fate of Gojo Sato mahara slashes at him from a distance and Gojo has lost his right arm sua is extremely pleased by this and finally emerges from the Shadows to now fight Gojo but this doesn't deter Gojo who then launches a maximum output blue at agito destroying it it's now just Gojo veruka and mahara with some hand-to-hand combat Gojo creates a distance

between him and his opponents and he starts his chant when someone is about to use their technique the curse energy output Rises before being used as a technique that can be detected by by other sorcerers when Gojo starts to chant sua guessed that he was going to unleash the red and by no means was he incorrect he decided that he would have mahara take the red head on to adapt to it but this is where sua screws up again sua did not account for Gojo thinking ahead Gojo planned to have the red merge with his

max output blue that was just waiting once sua realized this he panics and orders mahara to stop the two attacks from merging to create a hollow purple mahara went for the blue something it had already adapted to but Gojo was quicker as blue is indiscriminate in its effect Gojo used its pool to propel himself toward it stopping between blue and mahara alas mahar's adaptation to Blue was what hindered it in a last it attempt sua shoots his max elephant piercing blood at Red the Gojo rechan the incantations for blue refreshing its output and swallowing the

piercing blood and as the red and blue get closer Gojo chants the incantations for hollow purple and then he unleashes it it is an indiscriminate purple kiding everything in its vicinity even Gojo is hit by it though he is in much better shape compared to sua who is still standing albeit with major injuries and now we see Gojo with his cursed energy output back to normal Kim healing thanks to the two black flashes versus sua with no mahara major damages and no way of damaging him without domain amplification this is Gojo's win but is it

time for another EXP a why the world slice wasn't an as pool as we know from the infamous chapter 236 sua has somehow bisected Gojo and turn the tables this chapter caused a lot of outrage as not only is Gojo a fan favorite he clearly beat sua who was so badly injured he could barely stand so what happened as we learned in chapter 236 mahara can adapt from one single attack with enough time but the more it is attacked the faster it can adapt and here's the thing thing the analysis just doesn't stop there what

sua wanted from mahara was something he could replicate because as we've seen Suk is a master at doing things after seeing it once with multiple cases such as sua making a cursed item after only seeing the process once so all Suk needed during the entire fight was a way to destroy Gojo but since he did not want to think too hard he decided to use mahara to come up with a model when mahara first adapted to Infinity it altered the essence of its own cursed energy be able to cut through Infinity something sua cannot do

so Suk had to wait longer for mahara to do something that sua could replicate to understand easily what's exactly going on think of Gojo as a really hard exam mahara being the genius of the class who's about to get straight A's and sua who didn't study the test hopes to copy the answers from mahara and he did just that by slicing goer in half by passing Infinity thanks to mahara this also means that mahara is more like an AI program rather than a late throwin of a game of rock paper scissors How did Gojo not

realize that suo would counter attack you may be asking as we've seen the explanation for how curse technique and curse energy work we know that before being used in a technique curse energy output rises in a sorcerer before it gets converted to either the innate technique or reverse curse Technique we can say that curse energy output needs to rise for reverse curse technique by looking at haki's Jackpot state where he gains Auto reverse curse technique because of his unlimited curse curse energy this shows us that for reverse curse technique you need quite a bit of

curse energy output before using it in reverse curse technique for healing SL technique purposes So based on how much curse energy sukna was outputting at the time which was a lot Gojo would have assumed sua was healing himself and since he knew suk's reverse curse technique output has been reduced he could go up close and personal to kill him and Savor his death so after all that whose battle IQ was truly better Gojo or sukus well the answer may shock you considering he wasn't the winner but it was still Gojo ignoring how long the battle

is as well as all the complex techniques that were being used we need to remember that not only did Gojo learn how to heal his burnt out curse technique invert his barrier conditions pull off the prison real basketball domain and use unlimited Hol purple he did all of this on the Fly well yes Gojo's hacks such as six eyes and Limitless contribute a good amount just think of it like this in terms of body IQ Goa and sua are fundamentally different sua ridiculously plans everything from the techniques he uses when he uses his domain expansion

and everything else involved in the battle he was even picking and choosing what mahara would adapt to obsessively like a human controlling the player in a game goo however doesn't fight like that as crazy as it sounds aside from the 200% Hollow purple everything I mean everything he did against sua was on the Fly even the crazy feat of crashing into a building analyzing its layout and using it to his advantage to catch sua off guard was not planned and despite pulling off everything on the Fly Gojo was still able to fight on par with

sua this isn't a can't play sua at all as he's able to pull off crazy battle strategies on the Fly too in fact every strategy he uses against goo after the first one was thought up of during the battle which I'll explain later but to explain how sukna cut Gojo we learned recently that suk's world cutting slash only needed the single in Matten hand sign but to put it simply the hand sign that Suk uses when he activates his domain expansion but because of Gojo's Hollow purple he lost a hand and couldn't weave the hand

sign so sua made a binding bow on the fly to make it so that he not only needs to do the chant but he also needs to point and do the hand sign every time he uses world slash what's interesting however is suk's own adaptability as I previously stated although it isn't his main method like Gojo he's able to improvise his plans plan a was to kill Gojo with open barrier domain Plan B was challenging Gojo to a domain Clash five times and have Gojo destroy his own brain plan C was to use mahara and

agito to kill Gojo Plan D was to learn world slash himself in order to kill Gojo and when that didn't work out he made a binding vow as a shortcut and if that all didn't work out he was planning on reincarnating into his he and era body however this just shows that sua's long-term planning fell apart if his plans were truly good enough he wouldn't need to rely on improvisation to beat Gojo but is Gojo simply improvised because that's how he fights he doesn't like to think for long periods of time he simply likes to

try a bit of this and that out and if that doesn't work out maybe this will it's sort of smart because a battle is never predictable it's very
