This article contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen.
When it comes to the strongest characters in Jujutsu Kaisen, fans know very well that Satoru Gojo stands out. Right from the very beginning of the series, fans were told that Gojo was the strongest sorcerer in the modern age, and that nobody even came close to him.
In fact, Gojo was so strong that the author had to nerf him on many occasions or even just remove him from the plot, shocking as that may be to many. But, come the end of the Jujutsu Kaisen story, fans know that Gojo died. At the same time, other sorcerers started to step up, and it is quite clear to see that Jujutsu Kaisen is essentially setting up the next generation of overpowered sorcerers who will, inevitably, go on to surpass Gojo Satoru.
Gojo Was The Strongest Modern Sorcerer In Jujutsu Kaisen
- Gojo Had The Limitless And The Six Eyes
- He Was Matched Only By Sukuna
The strongest sorcerer of the modern era, Gojo Satoru was quite obviously the strongest in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen at the beginning. Fans saw Gojo fight against the likes of Special Grade Curses and absolutely dominate without even going all out, and this was largely down to the powers that he was blessed with. Gojo Satoru had access to the Limitless Cursed Technique, something that only a few in the history of the Gojo clan inherited. At the same time, Gojo also had the Six Eyes, a trait that allows one to study cursed energy down to the most intrinsic level. The last sorcerer to be born with both existed around 400 years ago, and, as such, Gojo’s birth shook the whole world.
Don’t worry. I’m the strongest after all. — Gojo Satoru
Over the years, he grew into his powers and honed them the best he could. Gojo then went on to hit his peak, and his fight against Sukuna, where he pushed back the King of Curses shows his immense power. In fact, Gojo was fighting a handicap battle here, given that Sukuna not only had Megumi’s body, but also the Ten Shadows Technique, and above all, Mahoraga. Yet, Gojo almost won the battle, and only lost due to plot armor, as confirmed by the author. Now that Gojo is dead, a new generation of sorcerers is coming to surpass him.
A Handful Of Sorcerers Can Surpass Gojo
Gojo Raised A Bunch Of Strong Sorcerers
Gojo was the most powerful in the modern era in Jujutsu Kaisen before his death, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that he can’t be surpassed. In fact, there are quite a few who can easily accomplish this.
Yuta Has The Potential To Reach Gojo’s Level
Yuta Okkotsu was always projected to reach Gojo’s level one day. With Rika at his side, Yuta can grow incredibly powerful. At the same time, fans know very well that Yuta spending time in Gojo’s body also allowed him to better himself, and when he reaches his peak, he can very well rival even the strongest of sorcerers.
We’ve all had enough of Gojo Satoru, don’t you think? — Gojo
Megumi Has The Potential To Rival Gojo, and Sukuna Made Him Stronger
Similarly, Megumi Fushiguro was canonically stated by Gojo to have the potential to reach his level. On top of that, Sukuna spent time in his body. If he inherits any of Sukuna’s powers, he can actually go beyond Gojo’s level.
Yuji Itadori Has The Potential To Go Beyond Sukuna
Finally, there is Yuji Itadori. Yuji is confirmed to have the same potential as Sukuna. On top of that, he has Blood Manipulation at his disposal. Once Yuji grows into his powers more, he will definitely surpass both Gojo and Sukuna.
