Gojo vs Sukuna EXPLAINED

[@wumbojet]

A bit of a correction that's not really important, Megumi's domain is not an open barrier type, it's an incomplete domain that requires a physical barrier for it to manifest like the cave where he fought the finger bearer or the gymnasium. He cannot conjure a barrier so he needs a physical limit to contain his domain.

[@jerome.walters]

You are correct 👍🏾

[@TeamAtrocityDakota]

Buttt we have seen sakuna perfect the 10 shadows, maharaga and some wicked fusions. Who's to say he had completed megumis domain? Granted like we will even see it if sakunas brain is fried lol

[@ClayMatu]

@@TeamAtrocityDakota Not mentioning sukuna but megumi's domain which when used by megumi is still incomplete. Sukuna probably could have perfected it since he off screen mastered 10 shadows but it doesn't matter at this point since he, and gojo, can't activate domains due to brain damage.

[@vhsalotl3406]

@@TeamAtrocityDakota i dont think sukuna, or anyone else for that matter, can make use of other people's domains because a domain expansion is supposed to be a realization of your inner self/innate domain. so if anything, i think what he could've done instead was imbue the ten shadows into malevolent shrine like how kenjaku imbued the reversal of anti-gravity systems into his domain

[@winstonoak2726]

😊

[@hikothe14th]

Minor correction: Gojo and Sukuna refreshed their burnt out CT using cursed energy to damage the right prefrontal cortex after expanding their domain and THEN using RCT to heal that part of their brain. So yeah, Gojo purposefully gave himself brain damage 5 times to accomplish this domain feat.

[@vitlaska]

sounds like me when I purposefully whack my head with a ruler to stay awake and keep up with demands

[@Lil_McBigs]

This is a very important distinction IMO. The analogy of the engine is perfect in a lot of ways. The part of the brain that allows for domain expansion isn't injured. Its burnt out or over heated and needs time to recover. What Sukuna and Gojo were doing is essentially destroying the "engine" and rebuilding it even though their understanding of that "engine" was on a "black box" level. This means that they did not have a deep enough level of understanding of the structure of that "engine" and could never rebuild it perfectly each time. So every time Gojo disassembled and reassembled that part of his brain it ran the risk of little imperfections piling up until it became too risky to keep doing the domain expansion.

[@christopherbronson3275]

​@@Lil_McBigsI wouldn't Totally agree. Yuta did say it best with the engine analogy. But I use this: They over clocked their processors. You can only do that for a certain amount of time before the whole thing breaks down entirely. You have to let it cooldown before you can red line it again. Neither Gojo nor Sukuna let it cool down. They just cranked the fans on high in an attempt to compensate. Which DOES work, for a while. But the board and the processor are still under Intense stress that they just simply aren't built for. And, like anything else, they broke. Honestly Sukuna's biggest fuck up in this fight was trading Yuji's insane body for Megumi's incomplete domain. Sure it helped him keep up in DE battles, but when Gojo started throwing hands, Sukuna in Megumi's body were utterly outclassed

[@ChiggnNumgets]

There’s a misunderstanding on 9:08. In a domain battle, the primary determination in a domain clash is the person’s refinement of their domain, while strength and other factors are consider secondary. What it means is that even if a person was weaker than the other, if that person has a much refined domain than the other, than that person would win the domain clash despite being weaker. This fact is confirmed by many domain explanation videos and quote from Jojo himself when he was explaining domain to Yuji.

Only 2 things are bailing Sukuna out right now 1. Yorozu’s gift 2. Kenjaku’s intervention

[@Szhusma]

There is a pretty good theory about the tattoos on Sukuna being stored cursed tools or techniques and the "Open" brings them out. The picture we have of Sukuna, with his four arms, holding a trident and a knife/bell thing in his hands is thought to represent the tattoos on his forehead and nose, as he does not have these on his face when he has them out. These two items also represents some important divine items in hinduism (the trident being the trishula). The tattoo on his forehead being the trident. This could also explain his "Black box" that brings out the fire arrow. As the black box is actually just a black square tattoo on his body (which Sukuna is shown to have on his shoulder area - But we could not see this when he used the arrow, because of his clothes. So the clothes was able to hide that this "open" made one of these tattoos disappear while being used. If this is true, it is possible Sukuna has a cursed tool or technique stored that just straight up heals him and perhaps another that can actually bypass Infinity. This could also be a reason for why we have Gojo seemingly winning with his cursed energy now restored, it is to have Sukuna do a twist and then make that win be more impactful with his revealed technique, by showing that this new trump can beat Gojo, even when he is not drained from cursed energy. It could also explain that his title as "King of Curses" actually might have come from him having a vast mastery of different techniques and cursed tools. It would weird that Sukuna made such a legend of himself in the Heian Era by only using Cleave/dismantle and his Shrine. This is just a theory of what could happen, but I think there are good arguments for it being possible.

[@jono7406]

One minor mistake at the beginning was the need for a chant for Hollow Purple. HP doesn't need a chant to function, the same way Red and Blue don't, but by adding the chant it increases the output of purple. Jujutsu sorcery is addition by subtraction, and by adding in a chant(subtracting the ability to quickly and quietly use a technique) you gain increased output. Most likely Utahime's ability works the same way, where she doesn't NEED to do the dance, but its so much more worth it for her to use it in a supporting role

[@15codys]

Loved this fight, even though Sukuna did take over Megumi’s body with his own power- this showed that with his one power he wouldn’t have pushed Gojo as far as he did. Heck, it was a 3v1 fight with Gojo against King of Curses, OP Majoraga and a somewhat immortal Shinigami mix with Gojo wiping the floor against all 3. Now, Sukuna might have a trump card but wow was Sukuna humbled heavily agajnt GoJoat (Gojo and Goat lol)!!!! Gojo did spend an innumerable about of time in a pocket dimension of a probably hellish realm- I think a number of people thought he’d come back buffed as hell after all that time training. This fight animated will be epic, but I don’t think this fight is really over.

[@chidubemnwanisobi6037]

Definitely not over even tho Goatjo slammed sukuna, sukuna is going to get his true four armed form plus he’s in megumi, who has the ten shadows which is the technique that beat the last six eyes infinity user. Especially how gojo has stated that he can’t really sense poison attacks with infinity, (sukuna isn’t really the king of poisons techniques he himself is a poison.) which that plus ten shadows could be wraps in a upcoming chapter. A lot of this is info I’ve scattered found so I may be wrong or inconsistent but this is what I believe is the lead up to gojo losing to sukuna, and sukuna entering gojos body…😬

[@Flowy69734]

I have a feeling of whats going to happen. It seems Sukuna has been adopting the 10s techniques for himself. With him acquiring the powers instead of having them as Shikigami. What i mean by this is with the 10 shadows dying, instead of the power being passed onto to another shikigami, its passed onto him. Hes able to use it. Hence why he was able to use max elephant water and make a "piercing blood" without summoning the max elephant shikigami. This could also be the reason why HE was able to adopt the mahoraga wheel on himself beacuse hes slowly applying the 10s powers onto himself with his final goal being him having all the powers of the 10s AND mahoraga adaptability. We also see mahoraga use cleave which is HIS technique which is suspicious. Almost as if sukuna is able to exchange or swap techniques. With all the shikigami dead including mahoraga sukuna may adopt ALL their powers making him almost invincible which is what could be happening right now with mahoraga presumably dead via purple.

Gojo's sure hit attack covered (hit) everything inside the barrier, sukuna's covered everything except himself. Megumi soul is still in the domain expansion and across all 5 domain expansion, megumi was getting hit by gojo's surehit, since sukuna didnt protect megumi from gojo's surehit and gojo's surehit hits everything inside his domain. Sukuna put the darmachraka on megumi's soul so he can bare the burden of adaptation so mahoraga can be summon already adapted and protected from gojo's domain.

[@WearyExile_]

I know what you have written here is true, but this is the most bullshit thing that Gege wrote in this fight. How can UV attack the soul, where was it ever established? How can Sukuna both protect his own soul and not protect the soul of the body that he inhabits? Is it not that the soul is the body and the body is the soul? How can Sukuna transfer the damage from the brain attacking type of technique to the soul of the body that he inhabits in hopes of getting Mahoraga adapted to it, in which he succeeds but still the damage from UV backfires. How did he summon Mahoraga when he was hit by UV, how is it that when Mahito attacks the soul of Yuji, he touched both souls of Yuji and Sukuna, but Gojo's seemingly brain/soul attacking domain attacks only one soul at a time?

[@artypyrec4186]

@@WearyExile_ because the mind, megumi is aware of what Sukuna is aware of. So it hit his soul, by hitting his mind.

NICK!! I fell asleep during this video 5 times trying to at least somewhat understand it. But that's not on you, the concept is so difficult and complex. When I listened while intentionally staying conscious, it made complete sense. This is genuinely one of my favorite videos of yours because it perfectly encapsulates why you have become such an important figure in the anime community. The concepts are getting more elaborate, and when the world needed a hero, we got you homie

TLDR; Rituals are not necessary for casting techniques, but they make your technique stronger the better you are as a sorcerer. Side note on how techniques work, since MC explained it a little incorrectly. Solo Forbidden Area and Hollow Purple do not require a ritual to be cast. However, verbal or semantic casting is not the only way to cast a technique. As explained in the same chapter, a sorcerers skill is determined by how effectively they can cast a technique without actions. Meaning if a sorcerer can cast a their technique by simply saying the name, as opposed to another sorcerer casting theirs by using hand signs, then the first sorcerer is more skilled. However, you can cast a domain or a technique with gestures and symbols as well. We see this in Volume 0 when Gojo sends Panda and Inumaki to JJK high through a circular seal on the ground. So, with that being said, when that happens, suddenly the opposite becomes true. The better you are at casting a technique without using gestures or music or actions, the stronger your technique becomes when you DO use gestures and actions. Which is why Utahime’s technique was so strong in Gojo. Because she turned it into a ritual using gestures, music, and dancing. Which boosted the effectiveness of her technique to 120%. Similarly, Gojo using gestures and a chant, combined with Utahime’s 120% technique, brought his output up to 200%

I'm so grateful for this explaination. I was kinda hoping you'd make a video about it to be honest xD. I've replayed some parts to be sure to grasp the concept of the whole thing and i'm happy to say that i do now. Thank you !

[@perkol8er314]

I feel like the absolute worst thing that could come out of all of this would be the death of either gojo, or sukuna. The reason I say or is because with everything we know about kenjaku, not only does he get access to the curse technique and cursed energy reserves of the body he’s inhabiting, but he can also take a select number of past cursed techniques from past bodies that he’s inhabited with him to future bodies. We don’t understand the mechanisms of kenjaku’s technique in terms of conditions that allow him to body swap, or how long it takes for him to do so, but if he is able to take the body of gojo, or sukuna, he would then have the techniques of either of the strongest sorcerers in history, along with access to cursed spirit manipulation, the anti grav technique, and whatever else that dirty brain kun has in store for us. Assuming gojo did actually win, and kenjaku doesn’t try and pull the sukuna switch, he should also have the capacity to use reversed curse technique on sukuna, and in the event that gojo does end up losing, I’d assume there’s no chance on gods green earth kenjaku is passing up the chance to take his body. Also the fact that we know he’s a body swapper, yet we haven’t actually seen him do so once in the series, and he’s a main antagonist and all, it would shock me if we don’t see him take someone else’s body before the series ends.

Nice analysis mate! Really like it. I have doubt tho. In 12:13 you say cleace and dismantle go through infinity cause its a guaranteed hit within the domain. If that's true, how come Jōgo couldn't hit Gojô when he used domain expansion?

[@antonycharlier3721]

he deflected the attack with cursed energy. He explained it during the episode or chapter whichever you know what i mean.

[@chiiyon]

[@yaboio3048]

28:40 got me WEAK

[@that.canadian.vaper.guyTCVG]

The most insane feat in my opinion, was Goju using his RCT to RECOVER his Cursed Techniques. HOW!?!?! That's some Ash Ketchum using a counter against a counter type of anime bullshit, but it was *amazing!* And the fact that Sukuna learned how to do this just by *watching Gojo do this,* also blew my mind! But let's face it, Sukuna would have been smoked had Sukuna and Gojo fought at full power without any pre-fight battle tactics. Sukuna took Megumi hostage in the hopes that if he lost, Gojo wouldn't want to kill his basically adopted son. Which also gave Sukuna access to the Ten Shadows technique. Sukuna essentially had an entire page full of pre-game preparation ready to go against Gojo and he still lost while Gojo used most of his own strength and intellect, aside from using his friends in the beginning to give him a 200% buff to purple. And that was only to set the stage, which meant Gojo just walked up to Sukuna, slapped him in the face and told Sukuna that he was the challenger to Gojo's title of "The Strongest."

[@GiRR007]

It wasn't his whole cursed technique that he was healing just his domain expansion.

[@yargolocus4853]

he didn't recover his cursed techniques. RCT cannot do that, it only heals. What he did was destroy the burnt out part of his brain, then regenerated it with RCT healing, which as a side effect created a bodypart that didn't have its cursed technique burnt out. It's a completely lunatic and reckless way to do it, but perfectly within rules

[@KeacePeeper]

Why is Nick refering to Sukuna as Fraudkuna if it was Gojo who brought like 3 People and started with an suprise attack in this 'Duel' ? Seems like Gojo is the greater fraud here.

[@not.acronym]

he didnt use 3 people to fight fraudkuna, it was an opening statement as any anime top tier fight would start with somewhat of a test or worthyness from 1 character to the other, just as he said to him right after. "to make things clear, you are the challenger here" but instead your "GOAT" clearly relied on "daddy-raga" to guide him to victory. he required a borrowed/stolen CT to win this fight, Gojo didnt he just used those 3 to make a heavy opening statement. its not like he had his curse energy amplified throughout the whole battle like the way sukuna was relying on the shikigami majority of the fight.

[@KeacePeeper]

@@not.acronym Well Gojo brought 3 people to up his output and get a sneakattack in. Cheapshot Just before the first round. Sukuna using another persons Body is the most basic thing we knew about him from the very beginning. And yes Sukuna took the 10 shadows for himself but Gojo was just handed most of His power with good genes, not his archivement. So one could argue Suk did more to earn the CT than the off-brand-kakashi ;) Oh and to be clear I don't particularly Like sukuna. He's one of the less interesting Antagonists in JJK imo. I just think calling him a fraud when Gojo opend by "playing dirty" was strange. Oh and for the record: The GOAT is my Boy Aoi To-Do and His 350.000 IQ mental CPU.

​@@KeacePeeper and your point of on being born into greatness while one working his way to it is so irrelevant cause essantially its the reason why gojo lost since unlike sukuna he never had a reason to become stronger/hone his abilities since no one was near his level/challenging him as much as the competition was back in sukuna's time forcing him to have to constantly improve it doesnt make him a fraud. he cant do anything about what he was born with so its crazy to say his a fraud cause he got good genes 💀
