How Strong Is Satoru Gojo?
In the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, only one is the strongest, with Satoru Gojo being the strongest sorcerer in history. His birth alone shifted the balance of the entire world. Gojo fights against monsters, cursed spirits, and even the devil himself, his power seems limitless, completely embarrassing Jogo, the strongest of the Disaster Curses. Jogo scales above special great curses like Dagon, who can create literal islands with his domain expansion. All of the Disaster Curses are ready to flee from Gojo’s presence alone. Their plan to bring about the age of cursed spirits involves sealing away Satoru Gojo and granting Ryomen Sukuna his full strength. This implies that they thought even if every curse in existence joined forces with a 20-fingered Sukuna, they would still lose to Gojo, who isn’t sealed.
Even sorcerers like Yuki Sukama, who can create black holes capable of destroying the entire world, are looked down upon by Gojo. But Gojo’s strength isn’t truly what makes him terrifying; it’s the fact that no attack an opponent throws at him will ever touch him because of his ability.
The Mathematics Behind Gojo's Power
In Jump Giga Summer, a lecture was given between 2 special grade mathematicians and the JJK editor, Mr. Takano. They theorized on how Gojo’s ability works using real-life math and science, concluding that Gojo creates an infinite space between him and his opponent. He rapidly slows down the movements of his opponent, making it impossible for them to touch his body. This is later explained as using the same concept from the Achilles in the Tortoise Paradox, which Gojo references in the manga. The paradox, proposed by the ancient Greek philosopher Zeno, suggests that if Achilles raced a tortoise given a head start, he would never reach it due to there being an infinite number of halfway points between him and the tortoise.
The Paradox of Gojo's Infinity
Since each time Achilles would reach the halfway point between him and the Tortoise, there would always be another halfway point in between that and another between that, all the way into the unreachable heights of infinity. However, this is not the case for Gojo, as his ability gives birth to concepts such as neutral and negative numbers and impossible situations like -1 apples, meaning Gojo’s ability can make impossible things possible. Meaning Zeno’s paradox is real and lives within Gojo’s ability. In the same way that you would need to take an infinite amount of steps to reach the tortoise, you would need an infinite amount of steps to reach Gojo with his ability of limitless, giving birth to techniques that he uses against his opponents.
Gojo's Techniques: Blue and Red
When Gojo encounters the sorcerer killer Toji, he uses his technique of blue, bringing the concept of negative space into existence.
When he does this, the surrounding area tries to fill up the negative space, creating an immense force of attraction that can make bodies implode and even amplify his stats. However, Toji prepared for this and was able to catch Gojo while he was fatigued and was able to kill him.
The Reverse Curse Technique
However, at the brink of death, Gojo was able to use a new ability. Gojo was able to return from the dead by using the Reverse Curse technique. This is a special type of curse technique that takes cursed energy, reverses it into positive energy, allowing Gojo to heal himself from death. And as Gojo and Toji fight, Gojo is able to use a curse technique that he’s never been able to use until now. With Gojo channeling, reverse cursed energy produces a new color, red, being twice the cursed energy of blue. This creates a repel effect that can send someone like Toji, who can defeat special grade sorcerers, flying.
The Power of Hollow Purple
And now for the best of both worlds, combining both infinities together, red and blue creates an imaginary mass, an imaginary technique, hollow purple. This technique that combines the infinities of red and blue erases whatever’s in his way out of existence, with this technique being argued to move faster than light, going off the theory of tachyons. Tachyons, being particles made of imaginary mass then move beyond the speed of light, with hollow purple functioning similarly.
Gojo's Domain Expansion: Infinite Void
But the greatest technique within Gojo’s arsenal is his domain expansion. A domain expansion is the most supreme technique of any jiu jitsu user. It is achieved by expanding one’s innate domain with cursed energy while using a barrier to construct it inside a separate space. With these domain expansions being a guaranteed hit on your opponent, meaning getting caught in one of these is an instant defeat.
Gojo's Battle Against Joko
However, it’s not completely over as when Gojo was fighting against the strongest disaster curse, Joko used his domain expansion on Gojo, allowing his attacks to bypass Gojo’s Infinity, meaning he can kill Gojo. However, Gojo explains that the only way to escape a domain expansion is to lay out your own Yoich Tenkai Infinite Void. Gojo’s domain expansion, Infinite Void, presents the target with limitless information, compelling them to see and feel all the information of the universe all at once, causing a state of paralysis as you slowly die. Gojo’s eyes, besides being absolutely gorgeous, allow Gojo to seek cursed energy from all others on an extremely detailed level, as he could see the soul of Sukhana inside Yuji’s body by looking at him only once. Additionally, his eyes allow him to have infinite use of his curse technique, which is why he decides to wear the blindfold. With characters like Naubito being rumored to be the fastest sorcerer.
Gojo vs Sukuna and Mahoraga
This includes everyone except for Gojo, with Gojo later taking on the King of curses to see who truly is the strongest in all of history. Sukuna possessing Megumi body and has 19 fingers and using Megamis 10 shadows. With this treasure, he summons Mahoraga. Mahoraga is a shikigami that has the ability to adapt to his opponent’s curse techniques and in this case Gojo’s Infinity, with Gojo and Sukuna fighting and Gojo releasing all of his strength using a 200% hollow purple and clashing domains with a king of curses. In the golden age of Jiu Jitsu with Gojo putting hands on Sukuna like I’ve never seen before with Sukuna knowing that the only way for him to be able to beat Gojo is to have Mahoraga adapt to his abilities with Gojo taking on a 3V1 with a single arm, Gojo needs to defeat Sukuna before Mahoraga can adapt.
The Ultimate Battle: Red vs Black Flash
Gojo uses Red and shoots it at Sukuna, with Sukuna smiling, getting ready to attack Gojo again. But that’s when red whips around the wall and slams into suit on his back, leaving him wide open. No sorcerer in history can perform this at will, but he just needs to do it once. Black Flash. Gojo hits the king of curses with a black flash, and this is enough to put his lights out. Black flash is a distortion in space that occurs when cursed energy is applied within a trillionth of a second. When a sorcerer is able to achieve this, their cursed energy flashes black. The destructive power of their strike is equal to a normal hit to the power of 2.5. Black Flash even heightens the senses of the user for a period of time afterward or essentially Gojo’s in the zone.
Gojo's Unmatched Strength
Overall, Satoru gojo would scale to planetary with hypersonic speed.
In the end, Gojo has come a long way since being born with the strongest abilities in history because this sorcerer is like no other. So, I guess it’s true throughout heaven and earth. He alone is the honored one.
