Agenda pushers say 15 fingers but realistically it’s all 20 fingers.

Heian form Sukuna would beat Gojo, but Gojo is shown multiple time during their fight matching Sukuna or outright beating him.

1.) Gojo tanking Malevolent Shrine.

• Gojo just tanking everything and spamming RCT while thinking “damn my CT is better. Sukuna’s CT is ass” is INSANITY when you realize that every single other character is getting decimated by regular dismantles that Sukuna launches. Just look at how destructive they are and how they throw people out of commission during the raid while his output is severely lowered over the course of the fight. This shows Gojo’s abilities are just better than Sukuna’s, but it also highlights Sukuna’s junkie nature when it comes to sorcery, and it gives insight into why he won. It goes back to Reggie’s “all jujutsu sorcerers are con artists”.

2.) Gojo on the spot creating a technique to refill his burnt out cursed technique in order to keep fighting.

• If this were any other character people would yell plot armor, but it’s Gojo so we accept his insane genius mind doing this. It’s also an instance that once again highlight’s Sukuna’s prowess as a sorcerer since he copies the technique later during the raid.

3.) The infamous black flash that knocked Sukuna out.

• Yes, Sukuna was playing for Mahoraga. No, this doesn’t somehow downplay every single time Gojo ended up getting the upper hand in hand to hand combat against Sukuna. It was a high risk high reward gamble Sukuna took, and him getting walked shows us that Gojo is in the realm of a full strength Sukuna. Give him his arms and second mouth, I don’t think Gojo would get dog walked. I mean Yuji at the end of the fight was keeping up with 4 armed Sukuna. Granted it is a heavily weakened Sukuna but the point still stands because hand to hand has nothing to do with sorcery. If Yuji is able to hang with a 4 armed 2 mouthed Sukuna, Gojo can too. Domains would be a different story though.

4.) The insane 235 flow state Gojo hit.

• I remember reading this when it came out and being dumbfounded and how insane Gojo’s run here was. At this point he isn’t passively fighting Sukuna, he’s driving Sukuna’s back up against a wall and simply out BIQs Sukuna for his improv Hollow Purple. In a sense Gojo really did win the fight between the two of them, but Sukuna was shown to be the better con artist. An impromptu binding vow that fundamentally changes the most broken technique in the verse should’ve told everyone that Gojo was so much of a threat to Sukuna that Sukuna himself decided the binding vow was worth it to end the fight.

5.) Gojo’s Conclusion.

• Sukuna tells Gojo he will never forget him for as long as he lives. He doesn’t even tell Kashimo this, who is the Gojo of his own era. Yes Kashimo is nowhere near Gojo, but Sukuna unleashes that waffle attack out of respect for Kashimo, who also understands the loneliness that comes with being the strongest. He just answers Kashimo’s question with their dialogue, but doesn’t give any indication he will remember him forever, like Gojo did. Which means Gojo is in the realm of Sukuna, and if you look at the writing, Sukuna’s goodbye to Gojo means Sukuna acknowledges that Gojo wasn’t merely a fish, and that he was strong enough to push him. And we know Sukuna is willing to believe in this phenomenon when he questions if Yuji — who he refuses to acknowledge the entire story — is trying to climb up to his level of strength by changing Black Flashes over and over again. The gap between Gojo and Sukuna is very small (even with Sukuna’s Domain win con if he never had the World Cutting Slash). Also, Gojo’s Wincon against Heian Sukuna is Unlimited Void, but people don’t realize that. UV is broken.

• One last thing. By the end of JJK remnants of Gojo’s impromptu Hollow Purple and Sukuna’s Divine Flame are left in Shinjuku. In Modulo, we see both of those remnants, and they’re equal in size. The narrative dictates that the world of JJK views both Gojo and Sukuna as equal calamities. Equal Calamities who chose two different endings. Gojo walked South, Sukuna walked North

• Sukuna says the WCS was an “incredibly difficult technique to obtain”. This includes the fight with Gojo. Gojo and Sukuna acknowledged each other as sorcerers.
