The Enigmatic Death of Satoru Gojo and His Clash with Ryomen Sukuna

In Jujutsu Kaisen, the sudden and shocking death of Satoru Gojo against Ryomen Sukuna has left fans speculation and deduction running wild. However, the exact details are as mysterious as the characters themselves, making their battle all the more intriguing.

The Battle Dynamics

The fight between Gojo and Sukuna was nothing short of a masterpiece of jujutsu strategy and execution. However, what happened in the moments leading to Gojo's death has evaded clear explanation. The narrative provided Gege Akutami doesn't fully explain the transition in the balance of power, leaving much to the reader's imagination.

Factors in Gojo's Defeat

One of the key factors in Gojo's downfall lies in his reliance on his Cursed Technique (CT) output. Gojo's greatest strengths, his CT abilities, were also his downfall. His defeat by Ryomen Sukuna can be attributed to a few critical moments and strategic choices:

Gojo's return to form, with his Cursed Technique re-tunining, didn't give him the upper hand as it might have against a less experienced opponent. The limited use of Curse Expression (CE), as speculated by Takuma Ino, might have been a factor in his exhaustion. The unique nature of Sukuna's Divine Eyes (DE) allowed him to neutralize standard counter-attacks, including those of Mahoraga and Uraune, and even Gojo's Divine Restriction (RCT).

While Gojo regained the RCT output and fought with vitality, the suddenness and magnitude of Sukuna's attack still puzzles many. The question remains: did the new slash bypass RCT's mechanism? Did Gojo tire himself out too much? Or did he run out of CE to invoke RCT, as guessed by Takuma Ino, during the fight?

The Clarity of Sukuna's Strategies

Though the battle between Gojo and Sukuna is enigmatic, the analysis of Gojo's death reveals the genius of Ryomen Sukuna's tactics:

Sukuna's Divine Eyes allowed him to counter Gojo in ways that no other opponent could. Mahoraga, designed to adapt to any attack, couldn't keep up with the infinite adaptability of Sukuna. Sukuna showed remarkable proficiency in close-quarters combat (CQC). He engaged with Gojo in CQC while dampening Gojo's CE output and movements, using just his Dark Ash (DA) in some instances. As previously demonstrated, he managed to fight skilfully against Realized Maki despite her heavenly restrictions and Yuji's assistance. The CT master principle worked both ways. While Gojo's Cursed Techniques were powerful, Sukuna's mastery over new skills and strategies was equally formidable. Sukuna's new skill, learned mid-fight, allowed him to overpower Gojo by neutralizing his strengths.

Titles 'King of Curses'

The title 'King of Curses' is well-deserved. Not only did Sukuna master a new CT, but he also showcased an unparalleled understanding of jujutsu. His victory was virtually certain, even to Satoru Gojo himself:

Gojo himself recognized Sukuna's overwhelming mastery and acknowledged the inevitability of his defeat. Other powerful sorcerers, such as Kenjaku Kashimo, share this sentiment, further cementing Sukuna's legendary status. Given the threat posed by Gojo, all powerful sorcerers have made plans for their next move, highlighting Sukuna's role as a looming future threat.

Thus, while the specifics of Gojo's death remain mysterious, the strategic brilliance of Ryomen Sukuna is undeniable. The battle serves as a thrilling and profound exploration of the power dynamics and strategic acumen in the world of jujutsu.
