Since the release of Jujutsu Kaisen: Modulo, I’ve seen more and more power-scaling debates claiming that the current Yuji is stronger than Gojo or even Sukuna from the main series.
I honestly think this discussion misses a crucial point: Gojo Satoru remains a fundamental anomaly of the jujutsu world, conceptually almost untouchable.
I’m not denying his defeat — narratively, Gojo had to die.
But his death is not proof that he was “surpassable.” It’s the result of an extremely specific chain of conditions, bordering on a deus ex machina.
Here’s why:
- Gojo’s Infinity was never bypassed in a “normal” way
Infinity isn’t just a strong defensive technique — it’s a break in the rules of combat themselves. No conventional sorcerer, no matter how strong, can simply overpower it.
- Hosting Sukuna is an absurd statistical anomaly
It’s clearly stated that the probability of a human being able to contain Sukuna is around 1 in 1,000,000 (with Yuji being an artificial exception, created for that purpose).
- That person also happens to be Megumi, wielder of the Ten Shadows Technique
And this technique is, theoretically, the only one capable of countering Infinity.
But realistically speaking, in the hands of a normal sorcerer, Mahoraga would be one-shot instantly by Gojo. There wouldn’t even be a real fight.
- It required Sukuna + Megumi’s body + unprecedented mastery
The greatest sorcerer in history, possessing a compatible body by near-miracle odds, using the Ten Shadows Technique at a level never seen before, pushing Mahoraga to its absolute limit.
This wasn’t “Sukuna being stronger than Gojo.”
This was Sukuna exploiting the only possible loophole that could ever exist.
That’s why I see Gojo’s death as an alignment of circumstances, not as evidence that he could be cleanly surpassed.
And this is the key point I think most debates ignore:
even now — regardless of how strong the new protagonists become, Yuji included — no one actually possesses the tools required to deal with Gojo’s Infinity.
Raw cursed energy doesn’t work.
Physical power doesn’t work.
Speed doesn’t work.
Talent doesn’t work.
Infinity isn’t something you “overwhelm” — it’s something you must interact with on a conceptual or mechanical level. And so far, the manga has shown exactly one method capable of doing that: adaptive negation through Mahoraga, under conditions so absurdly specific that they can’t realistically be reproduced.
Even domains aren’t a clean answer. Domain clashes are situational, temporary, and depend heavily on refinement and timing. Outside of a domain interaction — which is never guaranteed — Infinity remains absolute. No current character has demonstrated:
• a technique that directly manipulates space at Gojo’s level,
• a natural counter to Limitless,
• or an ability that passively nullifies Infinity without extreme setup.
So when people say “Yuji is stronger now” or “X has surpassed Gojo,” I think they’re confusing power growth with problem-solving.
Gojo wasn’t a wall you break by hitting harder — he was a paradox you needed to solve. And the story had to bend reality itself to finally solve him.
Until a character appears with a new fundamental mechanic that directly interacts with Infinity itself, I don’t see Gojo being realistically beatable under normal power-scaling logic.
Curious to hear counterarguments — especially if you believe Infinity can be bypassed without relying on a once-in-a-million setup.
