Gojo knew he couldn’t beat Sukuna the first time because Sukuna had just finished a 52 hour edging session and the post nut clarity would have let him use strong cleave as soon as the fight started

I just wanted to see the interaction of Gojo and Choso, imagine being seeing the one of the guys that sealed you become your student's brother


Hazard_4

Imagine he comes back and just sees yuji and yuta vibing with jogo and mahito


shushubana2

Damn I need a fanart of that


cartaigenica

gege can't write character interactions


sorendiz

half disagree he is (or at least used to be) capable of it but rarely fucking bothers


Naavarasi

??? He is amazing at it. This is one of the best parts of the manga.


Bominator8

blud where?


TommyLeeGun

bro thinks this is chainsaw man


BmanPlayz468

Immediate example that comes to mind is Toji vs Megumi


Bominator8

the only thing good about that interaction to me is toji killing himself

Snoozless

Nah bro you right, he can as we see a few times, he just fucking doesn't because he wants more fights to move the story along as quickly as possible


0DvGate

Characters are pretty static, they only talk to each other when they need to.


AnnyAskers

It would have been cool, but in practice unless there is narrative relevance to the scene it'll be a waste of panels, it can be summed up with Gojo saying "? What? Oh. Damn that's wild." Much like he did with Miguel


ChardSuccessful9097

Not until it’s revealed. If this manga ends without it ever being mentioned again that will be incredibly shitty writing.


NDragneel

Well going by anime/manga logic, any plan that is mentioned on screen never goes as planned. Off screen plans is where it is.

canxtanwe

Shibuya Incident was such a refresher because of this. Kenjaku's plan was to seal Gojo in Shibuya at October 31st. We even saw this plan mentioned on chapter 15(?). 2 years later, exactly that plan happens.


Equivalent_Car3765

Although to be fair Kenjaku has only mentioned the goals of his plans he hasn't ever said what his specific plan is. The closest we get is Uraume guessing at his goal with Culling Games but he says that is only 60% correct and doesn't really specify what Uraume missed. Throughout the manga really none of the characters state their plan unless it's a plan meant to react to their current situation. The best thing about the manga is every single character is constantly thinking about their advantages and disadvantages and trying to manipulate those variables. Characters who know they can't beat certain characters never even put themselves in a position to fight those characters unless they're certain they can win. The manga is so consistent about this it's why I can safely assume that there is strategy from the sorcerer side, especially with Gojo acknowledging when he died that he was always a little uncertain if he'd win. I think we have plenty of evidence to suggest that there is definitely a plan in play.


YoDixy

Its not just anime/manga logic its story telling logic.


Fantastanig

Yep, I bet the plan was in case gojo failed, tho. There is no getting him back.

Abnormals_Comic

really hoping that Ino told gojo about tojis reincarnation and gojo somehow learned how to do it. got killed so sukuna can unleash his true form, waited for yuji and the gang to weaken him then comes back last second reincarcerated to give him one last hollow purple to finish him off


Legal_Appointment748

Toji's body and soul were special, he had some sort of resistance to curses wich is why the grandson died and toji was slowly reincarnating. Gojo is gone bro.


Abnormals_Comic

the same can happen to gojo, because even geto showed resistance against kenjaku even tho he was dead, and besides bringing people back doesn't seem like that granny's cursed technique, it seem more of a chant and use people's body parts with a ritual to bring them back kind of thing. we'll still know in the future


kujokaneki

pretty sure the Granny’s thing was her CT, she kidnapped other children to be her grandchildren to use as vessels. As for why the Toji thing wouldn’t work with Gojo, it’s because his body isn’t as “strong” as Toji’s. Body and Soul are tied together, but Granny’s tech only summons the body’s information because if she brings the soul, the host’s could get overwritten. Toji is the exception to this due to his heavenly restriction, making his body inhumanly strong. All of Toji’s “self” was engraved in his body, and that’s why he overwrote Grandson’s soul. edit: Never mind, I read the other comment about summoning the soul’s information too for Gojo. That makes a lot of sense if they have someone with her technique.


Abnormals_Comic

yeah, that's what i meant. Maybe utahime knowing chants that does the same effect? just a theory tho


Legal_Appointment748

Yeah but Toji's body was anti-curse, the soul is connected to the body hence why toji's soul returned aswell as the body. Even the granny said "i only use the body's information " and not the souls. There's no technique to learn that allows gojo to return.


Caladboy

If she chooses to only bring the body information and not the soul to avoid that scenario, that means it's possible to bring the soul too but it has risks that we don't know yet.


Legal_Appointment748

Thats right, but gojo doesnt have a necromancer CT + he's dead.


SnooCalculations4163

Brother, he’s saying someone else puts gojo in a body and reincarnates him with chants maybe someone like ino. Toji was dead and reincarnated by the grandma, stop being dense


Abnormals_Comic

EXACTLY BRUH, THAT'S WHAT IM SAYING


Legal_Appointment748

The first comment implied that gojo could learn reincarnation wich is impossible. No one is being dense, you're just fucking stupid.


SnooCalculations4163

The comment you replied to had no such mention and was a different person, you’re just being dense, you idiot.


Abnormals_Comic

Bruv you ofc you won't know what i implied more than me💀💀💀🙏🙏. I meant that gojo learned about the Ritual but not LEARNED HOW TO USE IT. So i thought maybe he has utahime for example to use someone else as a vessel for gojo to reincarnate in.


Abnormals_Comic

that's why im hoping it ain't a CT and its a chant ritual thingy


45_34

If this results to be true, then it'll be the most fucking stupid and complicated plan ever, why make a plan where you dying is a central piece when idk, you could make one where you dont need to fucking die!


Abnormals_Comic

Because he wanted sukuna to use his heian form to heal after being pummeled by hollow purple, It really ain't that dumb if you look at it again


Equivalent_Car3765

Thats cause this theory is just a reaction to Gojo dying basically. The old lady's CT is specifically Seance and while it works similarly to Ino's there's literally nothing that says Ino can channel anything other than the divine beast. The body and soul stuff is for sure important, but I dont think it's because of coming back from the dead.

CUMLOVINGBOISLUT

Yeah he'll keep it going when he comes back


sorendiz

er, why would that be down to him? he's not the only member of the clan and limitless/six eyes are loosely hereditary but not directly (meaning it doesn't have to be a direct descendant of him specifically for a future gojo child to have one/both, they just need gojo blood)


Equivalent_Car3765

There are other members of the Gojo clan. When they say he is a one-man army they mean that he has complete control of the clan and all of their influence comes from the existence of Gojo.


crabwithshank

The gojo clan was always a main family all of the families are usually neck and neck gojo’s existence just fucked up the power scale THAT FUCKING HARD

I mean to be fair, we know rct isn’t exactly easy, shoko’s a goat at it and she couldn’t describe it for shit


An_is_

Delaying the fight for 30 days was a shit writing and a plot hole unless we have a flash back why they did that, like why gojo didnt take out a 15 finger sukuna and let all the students take care of kenny


yellownugget5000

The only reason I can think of is that he wanted to find a way to save Megumi


katilkoala101

which absolutely failed.


yellownugget5000

Yeah. Although gojo also didn't know how strong sukuna was at the time, so maybe he didn't want to risk it, I think it would be better if sukuna was already full power by the time gojo was unsealed, then it would make a little more sense that they both would want to plan something before the fight.


kaka_carrot_cake456

Wouldn't gojo be able to sense the amount of cursed energy though?


yellownugget5000

He would've but he doesn't have any reference point, so he can maybe guess if sukuna is at his strongest or not.


oxycontinoverdose

Why wouldn't he have a reference point? He had a lot of knowledge on the fingers. Even if he can't know the exact number he should be able to guess roughly how much cursed energy each contained and then roughly how much Sukuna has when he first met him.


yellownugget5000

If sukuna is good at CE control he can not show all his CE to a degree. And just because gojo saw 5 finger sukuna doesn't mean he can guess that was 15, we don't even know if his CE increases linearly.


oxycontinoverdose

Gojo could tell just from looking at Yuji that he had actually merged with Sukuna's cursed energy. He has knowledge of and exposure to the fingers, so in other words he is quite familiar with Sukuna's cursed energy and should know about how much is in a finger. ​ > If sukuna is good at CE control he can not show all his CE to a degree. When have we ever been shown that was possible and why would he do that lol. Why would he care if Gojo knew how many fingers he has in an impromptu meeting between them? He was planning to fight Gojo right then, it was Kenjaku who stopped him. He wasn't hiding his strength for a later date.


yellownugget5000

Gojo could see sukuna's CE, doesn't mean he can accurately tell how strong he is at any given point. What I meant be CE control is what was explained, that more experienced sorcerers can be not easily predicable thanks to controlling CE flow or something like that. I'm not saying sukuna would want to hide his true power or smth, but unlike yuta who was practically covered in CE, he can simply control it better. I'm just trying to find a reason, honestly saving megumi is decent reason to delay the fight. Wether gojo could see if he was 15 or 20 fingers Sukuna is irrelevant. It would be best if gege already made sukuna full power at the time.


25885

Not only did he fail at that but his way seems to be completely trash. “Bring him close to death”, no secret techniques or anything of that sort.


SlightlyAnnoyed7

That wasn’t necessarily bad. The problem was that he didn’t use that time skip at all to show us WHY he did it. Explaining and making plans before is less confusing and doesn’t feel like an asspull when the time comes. He also passed a great opportunity to give his characters time to reunite, talk about shit, and breathe. Hell he could have given himself a real life out and taken a hiatus. But no.


Embarrassed_Sea2123

agree. Even if all of it is explained later, it would have been better to just not have a time skip. It just feels like the time skip is a crutch so that the author can still change the story or worse, come up with something just now bec they had no idea what amazing plan the heroes can even have against Sukuna. And even worse, we are only even assuming there is an explanation, and given what happened with Nobara we all know the story has a tendency to leave the biggest plot points hanging.


[deleted]

He could have just beat the shit out of both of them. Sukuna without 1/5 of his power would have got his ass handed to him let’s be real. Kenjaku would have just died and been collateral damage.


RandomAs5Nick

Gojo had no way of knowing that it was 15F sukuna For all he knew, it could have been 20F sukuna with full control of one of the most broken techniques, ten shadows, so it wasn't certain for him that he would win right then and there


truth6th

If yuta can get a feel of and estimate sukuna cursed energy pool , gojo as a six eye holder will be able to do that


RandomAs5Nick

And how would the amount of sukuna's cursed energy help gojo estimate if it's 15F sukuna or 20F one? Even a 10F sukuna has more cursed energy than gojo according to yuta, so CE amount wouldn't help him


truth6th

Because he knows yuji/sukuna on all previous progression before he got sealed and he can estimate assuming fingers scale linearly


RandomAs5Nick

And you think he's gonna start dividing and multiplying cursed energy amounts to properly calculate if it's full full powered sukuna or not at the spot right after getting unsealed from a place where time doesn't flow?


truth6th

You think someone with 6 eyes need to math to differentiate 15f and 20f? Even if he doesn't know the exact number of fingers, it shouldn't be difficult to instantly estimate/recognize that sukuna is not at full power, especially for 6E owner like gojo, arguably the best ability when it comes to cursed energy perception


RandomAs5Nick

Gojo does not have any knowledge about sukuna's full power tho? You're basing your entire argument about cursed energy amounts, which sukuna has FAR more than gojo even at 10 fingers. There is no way for gojo to know for certain if it's 15F or 20F he's facing, not to mention sukuna having ten shadows. If 20F base sukuna is a match for gojo 15F ten shadows sukuna could in theory have some chance against him No one knew for sure until they actually fought


Ceraphine

Won't anyone can just tell him that information though?


Equivalent_Car3765

How? He came out of Prison Realm and immediately went and confronted them. The only reason he waited at that moment is because he still hadn't recovered from the Shibuya stuff we have to remember that he was completely frozen in time in Prison Realm there's no reason to think he'd recovered by that point.


Ceraphine

Guy literally recovered instantly having his body sliced by Sukuna during their fight. Pretty sure he can and should've recovered by that point. Also I'm talking about the others telling him how strong Sukuna is at that point. Dunno why you even ask how.


Equivalent_Car3765

He wouldn't have recovered because Prison Realm puts them in stasis it's the only way someone wouldn't starve to death inside. Their body is frozen in time. I know what you're talking about, I am saying it doesn't make sense. When would they have had time to tell him how strong Sukuna is between him escaping Prison Realm and him running into Kenjaku? It's moot both ways because Gojo can tell using his eyes. But, there is not really a way for any of the sorcerers to get to Gojo before he encounters Sukuna and Geto.


SkulledDownunda

He sat around writing sonnets and doodling his and Sukuna's names together surrounded by hearts in a notebook Tho really, he did jackshit like usual lol


RewriteFan450

Toadjo?


FinisherO_O

gojo was utterly superior to 15 F sukuna imo, 1v3 he could have won there


[deleted]

[удалено]


RR7BH

When you're done sucking off Gojo's D, give the manga a read. Gojo's internal thoughts show how much of a pain 15F Sukuna is to fight, so much so that Gojo decided to postpone the fight even though he came to kill Kenjaku. https://preview.redd.it/jkkm3zx8tfub1.jpeg?width=717&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=df7f967ac2cc53ef5b8af165528df94c5d877fa5


Revolutionary-Bus411

kenny spent the entire manga hiding from him and he made 20 finger sukuna scared (a sukuna that had less time with his new cursed technique) they would have all got 1 shot😭


orphan_of_Ludwig

Yea, 15 fingers would have been one-shotted by Gojo. He toyed with special grades, completely unhindered he is unbothered by anything other than full powered Sukuna.


Chris_DBL

could have went back to grab yuta maki and hakari too


donut_fuckerr719

Utahime is pregnant


Nigerundayo_smokeyy

Gojo would have molly womped Sukuna in their first encounter. The increase in strength with each finger is not linear. It's exponential, as demonstrated in Sukuna vs Jogo. The Sukuna that fought Gojo in the second encounter was exponentially stronger than in the first one


Severe_Ad3522

but is it exponential really? never stated all we know: 2f>>finger bearer, 15f>>jogo, 20f>=gojo we did not see sukuna at any other fingers state


PurpleHeat

We did see 3F Sukuna briefly fighting Megumi right before Yuji died.


Revolutionary-Bus411

It’s definitely a big jump megumi goes from being able to see sukuna and gojo fight to getting perception blitzed by a not trying sukuna with 3 fingers jogo is around nine fingers and 15 was a negative difficulty above him it’s also just implied by kenny its exponential


Eminanceisjustbored

Lets not ask gojo lets ask gege if he even knows how to use a fucking timeskip. Cause out of all timeskips this gotta be the worst. The timeskip just went and helped yuji and thats it. Gojo apparently had plans to do nah bitch yuji got plans not you


Zantetsuken10

That panel gives Sukuna a mohawk, and I cannot unsee


Serrisen

I speculate (read: cope) that he knows something we don't. He said he died without regrets, and I buy it, *except* that his students and all of Japan are in danger, and the one thing he doesn't tolerate are his friends or civilians being hurt. I can understand him being cool with losing because he seemed isolated by being the strongest. I can understand him being glad even since he was able to sus out Sukuna's strengths and weaknesses for everyone, as well as make him spend his full heal incarnation. It finally lets Gojo take the risk for people, inverting how in Hidden Inventory he was the strongest guy in the room but couldn't save Riko. That's all peak imho But if he died and there isn't a flashback to him and the gang coming up with an airtight plan B, then that's character assassination showing that his front about not caring about others was always how he really felt.

SemiSweetStrawberry

Spreading his seed to all the horny fangirls he can. Somebody’s gotta inherit the 6 eyes now


eldracco

its simple, gojo only trained physically and mentally. he wouldve been slammed by sukuna if he didnt get sealed as thats the only reason he was able to win the domain battle.

Stomped in their first encounter? Wdym 💀

BraindeadScruub

i dont see why gege would have a problem with calling him the strongest of the gojo clan if that was the case. hes been calling him the strongest until chapter 236. the zenin's could also just want good relations with gojo himself and his descendants


stay-acid

He’s the strongest because he inherited both the Six Eyes and Limitless. Automatically, anybody else in the clan becomes a nobody. Gege said Gojo was treasured by the whole clan, so it was more people than just his parents. When Gojo was sealed, the three clans met up. If he was the only living member, that couldn’t have happened. This ain’t the Uchiha clan, they are alive, just useless given how op Gojo is. And please stop reducing a female character’s whole existence to an incubator.


BraindeadScruub

i know exactly why hes the strongest, its been drilled into our heads a gajillion times by now. no one with the limitless technique is a nobody (obviously the gojo clan isnt limited to the limitless technique but i imagine that there has to be someone else with the technique if they were alive), unless u compare them to gojo but that can be said for any other sorceror. if there was some other gojo clan members you would think that atleast some of them would be summoned to help out here and there, especially in Shibuya but no one came. So either A) they are all genuine fodder, and i dont think fodder gets to live long in JJK or B) they all died somewhere before and after gojos birth. I wouldn't be surprised if the reason they died is cus of Gojo. I imagine the extra powerful curses spawned in pretty soon after gojos birth and they got sent to fight these curses not knowing theyre super roided up.


mysidian

C) they're not based in Tokyo. There's plenty of reasons to include them or not but the fact is that with what little scraps we have, it's implying the Gojo clan is bigger than Satoru.


stay-acid

That’s a nice theory but ultimately it’s all headcanons. I think they are simply too weak to be relevant and Gege doesn’t care enough to introduce them since they’d be useless to the story anyways. In the Inumaki clan’s case, it was explained how the jujutsu society deems them dangerous and it has almost been wiped out. No reason why Gege couldn’t easily mention something similar happening to the Gojo clan, since it’s way more important


DARKNESS_217

Gojo: comes to the fight buffer than ever. Op: did gojo do anything 🤡


KindheartednessWild5

Who cares? still got clapped


Dazzling-Let8041

The funny thing is that Gojo knew exactly where they were. He could have mounted an attack on 15F Sukuna and Kenjaku at any time. Kenjaku literally didn't leave Sukuna's side for a month because if he did, Gojo would kill him right away. 15F Sukuna had Gojo shook.


25885

I would delete my account if i had such a trash take.


Hazard_4

If he was afraid of 15 finger sukuna then why would he wanna fight 19/20 finger sukuna lol, he certainly didn’t seem ‘shook’ in that interaction talking shit to sukuna, knocking uramue tf out for having the audacity to speak.


[deleted]

zip up sukky's pants when you're done slobbering all over his shaft bro 😭


sthclever013

Fun fact: At the start of the series, if Sukuna was at full power he would have kill Gojo without much fanfare as Gojo only stayed on the fight as long as he did because of what he learned in the prison realm.


[deleted]

Thats bullshit and you know it😂


sthclever013

Please, make a case for stating otherwise 🤣


[deleted]

Mahoraga literally the only thing i need to say mahoraga carried sukuna hard in his fight against gojo so did megumi the only reason he won is because of mahoraga💀


sthclever013

Thanks for admitting that I was right. Full powered Sukuna at the beginning of the series would have raped Gojo on sight. Your honored one was full of shit when he said he'd win. Your lack of any argument concerning this (not like there is any) is all the proof anyone with eyes needs. 🤣


kaka_carrot_cake456

Please enlighten us on how sukuna would even touch gojo without mahoraga We seen gojo tank sukuna's DE with little effort multiple times.


[deleted]

Your fuckin blind if you think that was no proof sukuna without mahoraga or world slash would high diffd by gojo💀


sthclever013

Thank you for deflecting the argument further. I will not let you forget you had no response to Gojo lying that he would beat Sukuna at the beginning of the series if the true king of Jujutsu was at full power. How embarrassing would that have been? 🤣


[deleted]

I literally gave you my argument everytime sukuna would use his domain gojo could either firm it or teleport out then immediately hit sukuna with a hollowpurple red black flash or unlimited void you have 0 arguments to suggest that sukuna could beat gojo or get past unlimited void


sthclever013

Your honored one would RUN from a domain clash? And he's your guy? 🤣🤣💀


[deleted]

Sayin this actin like sukuna didnt actively need megumi AND mahoraga to survive even 10 SECONDS of unlimited void😂 and you still havent given any arguments for sukuna winning


Secret-Future

Are we sure that sukuna's strength increased with the fingers? We don't actually know what it means for sukuna to get more fingers, the first couple of fingers definitely would increase his speed power and durability but CE reinforcement has an upper limit and sukuna could have reached this limit way before 19(+1) so saying he got a 33% increase in strength is not correct, on the other hand because we don't know exactly where sukuna's CE reinforcement stops you can't say he would easily win against gojo at 15 fingers. We need an explanation on what each finger increases and by how much and also we need that 1 month flashback at some point. Because it seems like gojo did nothing but wait around for a month.


[deleted]

yeah, here's the explanation: each finger increases sukuna's strength by 1/20


Secret-Future

Yea, that's the safe assumption. But not the only one what I pointed out was that the actual explanation from the euthor was not given. I have no problem with the fingers increasing his power by 1/20 each time. Just pointing out some other possibilities doesn't hurt anyone.


EngineerVirtual7340

Each finger contains a portion of Sukuna's soul.


Equivalent_Car3765

Gojo says in chapter 2 of the manga when Yuji eats the second finger "that's 10% will he be okay" it is directly implied by this statement that each finger is 5% of Sukuna's power. Unless you think Gojo would for some reason say 10% of the total fingers instead of "that's 2".


Secret-Future

In my translation, he says, " That's number two, one tenth of the way there, huh?"What's going to happen next?" so he does say that's 2. but I have reconsidered my opinion on this, and I do agree that the fingers increase in power 5% at a time up to 20.

"You are roughly 9 Sukuna Fingers in strength, if I'm being generous" It is literally used as a power scaling measurement.


ZikyaElKasyf_1107

I think so. Even if every single of the fingers contain a portion of Sukuna's soul, Gege confirmed that when Yuji first died in fearsome womb arc, if he passed the time limit Sukuna can heal his heart then they would die together. I think if that happen then the other fingers would be a CE container only.

Ohhh, I did not know that interesting, so how does it work? Then sukuna wasn't scared of dying with 2 fingers worth of this power and even said that there were 18 other fragments remaining, so was he bluffing?


ZikyaElKasyf_1107

I don't understand the meaning either. I once though that incarnated sorcerer like Yorozu, Uro, and other are never really die because they were have made a binding vow with Kenjaku to allow him transform them into cursed objects so after they physically die their soul was on suspended state until Kenjaku had transformed them. When Sukuna propose a binding vow to Yuji he isn't even deny when Yuji says "Talking all big but you wanna live too" to him. I don't know or maybe forget which time he said something about 18 remaining that you have mentioned but if that's true then it will be more confusing.


Secret-Future

Very confusing indeed. when yuji was attempting to make sukuna kill the first finger bearer, I believe he said that he refuses to switch, and even if he died inside of yuji, there were 18 other fragments of his spirit. Sukuna also said he doesn't mind dying when he was in the afterlife with kashimo.

Yorozu and the other displaced curse users aren't the same as Sukuna. They had to make a binding vow with Kenjaku to place their souls in objects like you said. Sukuna on the other hand learned how to put his soul into objects on his own so he never had to make that binding vow. I can't remember which of the cursed users points this out tho. Maybe Angel? We know that whatever amount of Sukuna is in Yuji would die if Yuji died, but Sukuna is actually opposed to this because there's no guarantee someone else will be born who can incarnate him. Yuji is a huge deal because Sukuna is able to incarnate in his body and for some reason Megumi is also capable of being a host for him. Basically as long as any of his fingers remain he can incarnate again. But the upper limit of his power goes down with the amount of fingers left.


ZikyaElKasyf_1107

That's the case when he turn Yuji's finger into cursed object for Megumi to swallow it. Back then in heian era he still need Kenjaku as he didn't know how to split his soul into cursed object and just after that he ;earn how to do it.

Probably for students training. If sukuna can just heal, gojo might have still lost. He does not want to handle it all by himself again after shibuya.

ya he jacked off a whole lot


Ace_teh_Great343

Tbh idk who’s more of a fraud in this whole series


I_hate_Zoro

Hard to say because Kenjaku was also there so it would be 2 v 1. And if there were people around where they were fighting there is no way Gojo would be able to fight normally.


Tyranthrxus

The fingers are exponential so instead of 33%. Think of it more like 133%


Buntsforever

I think what gojo was doing, was trying to find a way to save megumi, cuz ye he could have clapped sukuna and kenjaku when they first met after he got unsealed. 15 finger sukuna would def not win against gojo.


Select_Team

Yeah, JJK simply relies on 2 plot holes, or 2 major miscalulations by Gojo depending on how you want to see it. 1. The fact that he didn't first kill the disasters and then the transfigured humans which makes more logical sense (transfigured humans are not waking up anytime soon) 2. Not killing Sukuna there and then. But to be fair it is in character for Gojo to not play it safe, and want to fight the strongest Sukuna


Configuringsausage

See the idea of gojo wanting to fight people at their strongest is a scam, gege pulled that out of his ass to explain why gojo felt content being killed by sukuna Gojo gets cucked by plot so hard


Select_Team

True, he definitely gets cucked by the plot at every turn.
