The clash between Gojo Satoru, the “Strongest Sorcerer,” and Ryomen Sukuna, the “King of Curses,” represents the peak of power in Jujutsu Kaisen. Both stand at the top of their respective worlds—Gojo as an unmatched jujutsu sorcerer with divine talent, and Sukuna as the most feared curse in history. Their battle is not just physical; it’s a confrontation of technique mastery, innate talent, and philosophical approaches to power.
Below is a complete, deeply detailed analysis of who is stronger, based on canon feats, abilities, domain expansions, and overall combat potential.
1. Raw Power & Strength
Gojo Satoru
- Possesses Limitless, granting absolute control over space.
- Six Eyes enhances precision and energy efficiency, allowing near-infinite cursed energy usage.
- Displays overwhelming physical speed and reflexes, often appearing to “teleport” due to spatial manipulation.
- Has defeated powerful threats like Jogo, Hanami, and handled multiple special-grades with ease.
Sukuna
- Known as the strongest sorcerer-turned-curse in history.
- Even at 15–20 fingers, he showed monstrous physical strength surpassing most characters.
- Vast cursed energy reserves with terrifying destructive qualities.
- Lethal attacks that distort flesh, slice through dimensions, and cause large-scale destruction effortlessly.
Winner (Raw Power): Sukuna
When it comes to brute strength and destructive capability, Sukuna’s curse nature and centuries of battle experience give him an upper hand.
2. Cursed Techniques
Gojo Satoru — Limitless & Six Eyes
- Infinity: Creates an untouchable barrier slowing all attacks to zero.
- Blue: Attracts matter, causing implosive destruction.
- Red: A high-output repulsive force causing explosive damage.
- Purple: Combines Red + Blue to erase everything in its path.
- Six Eyes reduces cursed energy usage to almost zero, allowing endless technique spam.
Sukuna — Dismantle, Cleave, and Unrevealed Techniques
- Dismantle: A universal slash cutting through nearly anything.
- Cleave: Automatically adjusts power level to slice through the target’s durability.
- Fire Arrow: A high-speed flame attack stronger than Jogo’s own flames.
- Possesses domain-restricted techniques that remain mysterious.
- Adaptable fighting style with unpredictable moves.
Winner (Techniques): Gojo
Gojo’s Limitless offers more versatility and utility than Sukuna’s slashing and fire-type techniques. Infinity especially gives Gojo a defensive advantage that almost no one can bypass.
3. Domain Expansion Battle
Gojo — Unlimited Void
- Overwhelms opponents with infinite information.
- Instantly paralyzes and destroys mental functioning.
- One of the strongest domains in the series.
- Extremely precise and fast domain activation.
Sukuna — Malevolent Shrine
- Open domain (no barrier), giving it a massive 200m lethal slashing radius.
- Can repeatedly strike inside the domain with sure-hit effect.
- One of the most lethal domains ever shown.
- More efficient due to not forming a closed barrier.
Domain Winner: Depends on Situation
- Closed-space duel: Gojo’s Unlimited Void is overwhelmingly fatal.
- Large-scale environment: Sukuna’s Malevolent Shrine’s barrierless nature creates massive area destruction Gojo must handle carefully.
4. Speed, Reflexes & Battle IQ
Gojo
- Uses teleportation-like movement via spatial manipulation.
- Exceptional reflexes; reacts faster than special-grade attacks.
- High battle IQ, reading opponents instantly and countering efficiently.
Sukuna
- Ancient warrior with unrivaled combat insight.
- Can instantly analyze techniques and adapt mid-battle.
- Speed and agility exceed most special-grade curses and sorcerers.
Winner (Speed + IQ): Draw
Both are masters of combat intuition and technique adaptation. Their fighting styles differ but match in effectiveness.
5. Stamina & Durability
Gojo
- Six Eyes allows near-infinite cursed energy usage.
- Strong durability but relies heavily on Infinity to prevent damage.
Sukuna
- Pure monster-level durability even without special defenses.
- Immense regeneration and cursed energy pool.
- Can heal others and himself exceptionally well.
Winner (Durability): Sukuna
Sukuna can tank far more raw damage physically. Gojo’s defense is amazing, but if Infinity is bypassed, he becomes more vulnerable.
6. Overall Battle Result
The fight between Gojo and Sukuna depends on specific circumstances. In a pure 1v1 fair battle at full power, both operate at such a high level that the smallest detail could decide the outcome.
Why Gojo Can Win

Why Sukuna Can Win
- Has more raw power, durability, and destructive capability.
- His slashes can adapt to durability, threatening Gojo if Infinity is imperfect.
- Larger-scale domain with huge kill radius.
- Ancient experience gives him endurance in prolonged battle.
Final Verdict: Who Is Stronger?

In raw destructive power, durability, and adaptability, Sukuna is superior.
Both characters represent different forms of strength:
- Gojo = Perfection of sorcery, limitless technique, and spatial control.
