I've noticed some areas of the video that could've been better communicated so I want to include this as a pinned comment for clarfication. If there is anything else you would like to be further explained, please reply to this comment & I'll try my best to elaborate.
Extra thoughts on 42:40 - Sukuna's domain being described as revolutionary through artistic terms is significant for this comparison, because modernism as a revolution is reflected in various art forms. And along with this parallel, it also carries the inherent limitations of modernism. The symbolic Shrine within the domain is representative of the Establishment, which is a term used to describe the influential or the authoritative group of any era. In this case, the authoritative group of the era would be religious insitutions. Couple this with how Malevolent Shrine has no barrier; it offers you a very simple escape path, which is probably your best bet to survive the domain, since you can't fight back against Cleave as it adapts to your toughness. The domain literally gives you a path, and if you don't adhere to it, you are punished. This is entirely reminiscent of how the Establishment itself functions. If you don't adhere to its given path, you are disqualified in its eyes; hence modernism attempting to be a revolution against the Establishment but having some inherent limitations in its largely rigid views on certain things. In a lot of contexts, the Establishment IS the Roman Catholic Church, hence Sukuna, the representation of modernism, being regarded as the Fallen One by Angel.
Regarding the segment about subjective experiences shaping the reality of characters, Gojo is an obvious example, and I figured it also extends to Jogo and Kashimo considering the similarity in the deaths of all three characters. But I should probably explain it more explicitly. I said in the video that Jogo's vision might be fake. And since Kashimo's vision was shown, many people think Jogo's couldn't possibly be fake. The thing is, Kashimo's vision doesn't seem exceedingly “real” either. They shift landscapes twice, Kashimo goes from looking like an old man to his young self, etc. The only constant is Sukuna, much like in the Jogo scene. What you have to keep in mind is that even in the Jogo vision, what Sukuna was saying, except for the bit about reaching Gojo's heights, entirely makes sense for Sukuna's character. Burning away everything that you don't like, being true only to yourself and not to anything so vague as “becoming human”, that sounds entirely like Sukuna's ideology. Much like what Sukuna told Kashimo. In both the scenes whose authenticity is quite intentionally called into question via their framing & presentation, the only constant is Sukuna's character. Considering what I've said about the status of Sukuna as a deity who is independent of subjective perceptions, the fact that his character cuts through the ambiguity of the death visions of characters only makes perfect sense. You can think that Jogo and Kashimo scenes actually happened. Like I say in the video, it doesn't matter. The subjective experiences of Jogo and Kashimo shape their respective realities as they die; Sukuna's character remaining constant, Sukuna's character pervading someone's subjective experience, only adds to Sukuna's characterization.
This is easily top 5 best analysis videos I've ever seen on TH-cam.. and I've watched FNAF lore vids..W vid bro
Only problem with this video is you said gojo is a natural influence while sukuna is a unnatural force yet it seem sukuna is more natural to the verse than explain how gojo is more forcing in the verse than sukuna. Minus how yuta and being for people is a natural force to sukuna
What about Sukuna's mentality you mentioned? It does not make sense for him... Especially after Gojo vs 10S (Meguna).
@@Tojiii it does since he didn’t want to simply beat Gojo since he could already do that
The whole fight was to improve an ability
@@thebigdoginthisbitch4733 I thought he said in the video that Sukuna's mentality is fighting for yourself. But, during Gojo vs 10S (Meguna), Sukuna relies and needs someone else's help. Such as Megumi soul, memories, face, and technique... Megumi quite literally needed Megumi's soul for Gojo's DE. He needed Gojo's memories so that he could know all Gojo's techniques secrets. He needed Megumi's face to play a role when Gojo went to hit him he'd see Megumi's face which is basically someone he raised. Also, he needed Megumi's technique so that he could copy Mahoraga...
I just love how the "Are you strong because you're Gojo or are you Gojo because you're strong?" was such a mindfuck for Gojo but Sukuna doesn't even care when asked the same question
They’re not in the same league is why Gojo is tethered to his earthly attachments and deprivation of being understood with not having people on his level. Sukuna may be arrogant but he’s like a king of war who’s priorities lie in constant improvement of strength and conquest with no care for how people view him
honestly sukuna would just reply "I am the strongest because I am sukuna, and I am sukuna, because I am the strongest"
@@Masakrealm He leads the kind of existence where even doing nothing, so long as that's his whim, for lengths of time unimaginable to regular people would tickle his fancy in the greatest sense. There is no disappointment for him to find where others would think it would be, because at the top there is nothing but Sukuna, and what Sukuna wants. So what if it's the same thing a million times? Sukuna declares what is the truth at the top, and that isn't a factor. It's so simple, and at the same time it's entirely out of reach. Just like Nirvana.
that's so fucking weird how people think this is deep
brain rot kaisen
Thats because Gojo is still human, Sukuna denied that part of him long ago
Narrator: And so, Satoru Gojo, died an ordinary death...
Sukuna: You were magnificent, Satoru Gojo.
Narrator: As I was saying, he was magnificent and died a magnificent death.
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
Gege in a shellnut 😂
I love how Gojo stans cry about Sukuna
@@thebigdoginthisbitch4733 sukuna stans do the same shit 💀
@@thebigdoginthisbitch4733both of the fans base crying like babies just accept the facts the fight wasn’t fair but still Sukuna would win !!
Just want to say Sukuna didn’t kill Mimiko and Nanako because their offering wasn’t enough. He killed them because they expected him to do something for them in exchange for a finger. That’s not how you ask a local deity for a favor.
This whole comment is like saying sukuna didn’t cut gojo in half because he wanted to, he cut gojo in half because he wanted to.
@@Yuri10475 no, because you’re implying it doesn’t matter why he did it, but it does for understanding his character. He didn’t kill them on a whim he killed them because he felt disrespected
@@Yuri10475that sounds like a dragon lord line
@@Yuri10475 Or maybe you need to read it again.
Agree. Gege stated Sukuna of Jjk is a direct implementation of God of Calamity and War Sukuna.
Gojo vs Sukuna did not only split Gojo in half but also the fanbase.
The true universal dismantle
Take it back
@@hypernova9215I mean, he's not wrong.
Even though it hurts so bad its so true rip
😭😭😭 a 1/2 a year too soon
I think this is a great analysis and it’s actually kind of providing a lot of context for the past couple weeks too with all of the absurdity surrounding takaba vs kenjaku. Since sukuna showed up in full the intensity of the story ramped up dramatically and the expectations are totally out the window. Takaba is just another example of how the things we think we know, we don’t. Exemplified perfectly by kenjaku, the seat of knowledge in this world, realizing his 1000 years of knowledge won’t be of any use to him against such a force. I think dramatically cutting away from that intensity to go off the walls here is almost proving the entire point of this video honestly. It also makes sense in the context of why kashimo got so little compared to takaba in terms of like, character development screen time. His entire arc was basically the shonen essence distilled(basically the Goku archetype. I’m strong and want to fight the strong)and sukunas entire ramble to him at the end about how his way of expressing love was basically to display his power before them is the perfect backdrop to Takaba. Is that not what the most recent chapter basically showed? Takaba starting round 2 of this fight is basically him about to show Kenjaku his meaning of love. He’s acting in sukunas way now, focused entirely on his goal selfishly even though the goal is to make people laugh. It’s about to get real as hell.
Couldn't agree more
I always loved Gojo, but everyone slept on the detail between he and Sukuna’s monikers of the greatest sorcerer in History vs Today. Sukuna was Not pressed by that Young man Gojo
He only got nervous right at the end, the moment that Purple failed the fight was over. Gojo was strong, just not quite enough.
@@unoriginalandunfunny1563and that nervousness was due to a random occurrence of luck on black flash
Like, yah
Suddenly your opponent is back at 120% power after a hard fight when u aren't and it was unexpected and random
Ofc u would be nervous
Unless u are an dumass
Facts
Dude….”he is independent even from the narrative that consistently serves him” !? That is fire essay text right there. And I never thought about how he contradicts the narrative text in saying he will remember gojo. You were on a roll this video.
0:21 saying that battle is of history proportions is insane that farming bum lasted 1.5 chapters
Casually tried to put Kashimo on the same pedestal as Goatjo
Out ot those 1.5 chapters, 1 chapter was prettymuch dedicated to kashimo glazing sukuna
And man, mahito even explicitly talked about this post modern theme! He told kenjaku that his cursed technique didn’t determine the universal truth of the soul because techniques determine the world you live in. Subjective experience determines individual reality.
Radman you have yet again saved my life
It’s interesting to apply this framework to the 7 lotus 7 gojo appearance theory. To me I think it would be crazy, but it’s possible that gojos latest appearance could be the final ascension which allows these cycles to be broken as gojo finally fully seizes the previously self proclaimed divinity
The way you described Sukuna I think helps me develop a framework with which to analyze Yuji with. There's always been the hints to Yuji's character that imply that he's designed to be the antithesis to Sukuna, if by nothing else besides the fact that he seems to have been born from Kenjaku to explicitly be a vessel for Sukuna, however he winds up being one that can contain Sukuna. I think his journey is taking a human experience to realize that he is both born special as Satoru was and just is a transendental life force like Sukuna, and I think that will explain why Yuji will likely be the only one able to finish the fight with Sukuna. Idk if what I just typed makes sense though lol
25:19 I don't think sukuna killed them because of what they asked but because they tried to bargain with him "If you kill kenjaku for us, we'll tell you the location of another finger"
Great work! Always had suspicion this was all deeper than it seemed. Well researched my guy.
From this video, I have grasp some awareness on Sukuna's real power.
(Paragraph Warning)
- While other's domain is to bring dreams into reality, Sukuna domain is to become reality itself.
- Gojo goal is to end his solitude, Sukuna with his power to bring reality, provided what Gojo wanted. "An ordinary death" which remove Gojo from the position of the strongest and allows him to connect with ordinary people.
- Him being a force of calamity is no exaggeration. He defies JJK's logic.
- Gojo is a fraud in terms of THE strongest. I don't mean it like "he lost so he ain't one" kinda thing. As you have stated, the narrator established Sukuna as the honoured one while Gojo self-affirm himself as the honoured one.
- Ironically, although Gojo took the honoured one title by himself, Gojo looked up to the honoured one(Buddha) while Sukuna did not and never will compare himself to anyone.
- Sukuna is the real "Nah I'd win". As you have described, Sukuna always achieve what the audiences was never expecting. The countless biding vows he has been making till to the latest chapters to avoid damage proves it.
- Because Sukuna is an uncontrollable calamity and what you have stated in the video, we can predict that 2nd Jacob Ladder will not kill Sukuna and that when we expect him to die, he won't. But when we don't, he will.
EDIT: Spelling errors
He accidentally proved why gojo isn’t dead
Wdym?
@@1brytastiche means nothing
The scene where jogo spoke to sukuna was confirmed to have actually happened btw
Thank you for this legendary video. You made me appreciate so much more JJK with it. I would never have known about all thoses details without it, so many thanks for all these researchs and explainations. It was a pleasure to watch.
Peak video, my guy! Great points and editing all around. Subscribed :D
Incredible video as always. Watched it twice now and during certain parts i can really feel det critics’ words 😭
Read his sukuna write up months back.
You misinterpreted an important fact. Tengen looks like that because of all the people he’s consumed and the long lifespan the transformation gives the body. Human life in JJK has a natural lifespan and going beyond that humans begin to evolve into something other than. Almost like a regressive evolution of the mind of progressive for the body. Hence why him and sukuna both have 4 eyes and arms etc
I thought Gojo only said that, "someone with Yuji's talent comes along once in 1000 years", not that Sukuna's vessel is rare, but that someone with a talent / skill like that is rare.
Most underrated anime youtuber keep it up brotha much love
Comment of appreciation for the effort and or knowledge to include the part about akutami asking for no narrators in the anime. Contributes so much to speculation on authors intent and I probably never would have learned that otherwise
Nice video man, how do you analyze so well?
He got that Haki vision 👁️👁️
Fans are not grateful Gege could have packed gojo in worse ways by disrespecting his character but chose to show him strong and then kill him by logic. The fight shows sukuna is better he can beat anyone with his limited options without going all out.
he was killed offscreen after he had a 3v1 wdym
I love watching videos like this because it's so long I can keep going back and forth to watch it so keep up the good work
Fantastic video!
Incredible video, you’ve put words on feelings I experienced following the fight and even made me understand beyond these feelings, ty for the food work chief
Dude you have some of the best analyses I've seen on these things. Absolute banger.
My man beat the prison system but the first day on parole he got a one way ticket to death row. My dude cant catch a break.
The end is sukuna will kill everyone but yuji because it’s his binding vow with kenjaku, yuji will complete merger because sukuna allows him to for the ultimate fight. Yuji wins and everyone gains curse energy
Yuji cannot have anything 💀
What a freaking great video! Very insightful analysis that made me appreciate the series a lot more. Tbh I was kinda frustrated with the direction of the manga but you talked about a lot of important points and now things are much more understandsble to me.
Thank you for taking the time to create this analytic masterpiece!
Music/OST/Song/Instrumental at the towards end of the video?
need this
although i had believed i understood the purpose behind sukuna vs gojo, your review on us not understanding sukuna's attacks from a literal reading perspective has really made me think about everything gege has given us about sukuna.
He truly is a villian i don't understand. This makes me really curious.
The JJK fandom might be cooked, but I can always trust Radman to see the vision😌
Incredible work. Really. Youre really good at what you do. Keep it up.
Best mangas Fight analysis ever
47:13 I like the HxH music
It’s funny because it’s almost like a commentary on society, It’s relatable to me and it’s because of gojos resistance of authority is what I love the most about his character. He has the strength given to him but it was up to him to make something of it and everyone hates him for it because he won’t submit to their false sense of superiority he only respects people for who they are as people and will help them grow as people and show them how to reach their potential. He such a great written character which is why it sucks that he ended up eating the big one in the end. Still was a pretty satisfying conclusion
Video SLAPS!
Woah, I love that Sukuna is a constant throughout the show and his ideals stay the same in serving self. He is an amazing representation of a fallen angel, I never realized how deep it went, very good breakdown!
"Stand proud Sukuna, you're strong."
-Jogoat the great
I have a question? Why do you think that Sakuna has ever switched vessels. This has to be the first time since he split himself into 20 fingers. Hence why there are 20 indestructible fingers spread out through Japan, his original fingers. If he has ever been brought back through a vessel then why is it not mentioned. It makes no sense...
Phenomenal work. Am I the only one that has issue with Sukuna being written this strong. No one in JJK history has come close to his level. Even when teamed up on by multiple clans. The fact that Jujutsu hasn't progressed to the point where Sukuna has been stumped or legitimately surprised and caught off guard makes be believe Gege is writing himself into a corner. There's been no setup for his defeat that will feel earned or satisfying.
Gojo was pretty close
its gonna get crazier when yuji ,a kid that just joined the jjk world a while ago will kill the strongest being in history
gojo 1v1's him without that treasure on his head lmao
Trully Genius narrative analysis
i figured all the character bits. but the history and mythos helps this a lot. it can be interpreted that gojo, in trying to "let sukuna give it all he's got" (he failed and for that hes sorry) shows gojo might have understood sukuna a fair bit himself. like, gojo understands the selfishness needed to advance jujutsu (he told megumi). but he rejects that, because he wants to change jujutsu.
two things about that
1. id like to think that sukuna "resolving" gojos identity crisis is intentional. its his gift to gojo, for gojo's offering to him of this fight
2. sukuna and his selfishness represents the very aspect of jujutsu gojo tried to change, however gojo still loses because he fought alone. despite... wanting to change that solo nature of jujutsu
Jogo was it imagining anything, I feel like people always forget about the cursed realm, like when yuji dogwalked Mahito or when geto made that guy see his dead dog
All I see is Toji’s prep is on another level. Man made Gojo raise the element of his own death. Another win for the monkeys
Isubscribed the heck out of that button. Easily the top of top tier anime critics. Fabulous content man! Keep it up!
If people have to make 1 hour long videos to explain the ass pull... Then it was definitely bad writing
If you want more copium, I'm available to deliver 😂
If people need an hour long video to know it wasn't an asspull then they're clearly retarded.
Its not really that deep. 1+ hour lenght is because he is explaining while fight
Basically maharoga was finding a way to bypass infinity after he done so Sukuna slowly learned it as well, bang
If you cant bypass it just spawn the attack on Gojo himself making Infinity useless
Your video is a work of art
This video is kinda moot in its point because when Toji fought selfishly…he died…lmfao also people complaining about Gojo being “oFf sCrEENeD” are fucking stupid and part of the reason why Gege hated Gojo so much, I was so happy Gojo died lmfao
So you think a character who believes in an extremely rigid hierarchy based on strength, and kills people for not recognizing their place while respecting those that are strong enough to even attempt to stand up to him is post modernist? And the guy whose using his nearly unlimited strength to attempt to upheave the status quo and reshape the world for the benefit of everyone whose constrained by arbitrary rules that cause untold pain and suffering is... not?
I feel like you fundamentally misunderstand the material and theories. Even viewing Sukuna and Gojo as literary devices doesn't support your thesis. Functionally, there is very little post modernism in JJK, maybe I'll give you the dichotomy between Sukuna and Gojo's views on hierarchy.
I'm telling you gege def not thought about post modernism
This video broadened my horizons for sure
I still cant get over how gege times gojo's death to be the SAME WEEK as him getting sealed in the anime. Truly the meme lord we deserve.
If you’re going off of that then Gojo will return
@@MindlessMenace he won't it's just funny he got sealed on the same week. Correlation doesn't mean causation. Though he could have done it on purpose I seriously doubt he'd ring him back especially that far down the line since it'll be years b4 we get the return animated
imagine gege brings him back when he comes back in the anime 💀
@@FlawsomE999 honestly, possible. Unless Kenny dies, I really do not see our cast defeating Sukuna or Kenny's curse. I just do not at all.
Their level of understanding of CE and CTs is just not at the necessary level to do much right now.
@@MindlessMenacewould find it funny if by some unlikely way sukuna or kenjaku get defeated when gojo dies in anime
I just realized that Gojo in 1st half was adapting to Sukuna’s DE while Sukuna was adapting to Gojo’s CT. You could infer that Gojo was merely targeting Sukuna’s strongest ability as the strongest in history while Sukuna was targetting Gojo’s whole range of abilities. Seeing Gojo for everything he was, a sorcerer.
I think you summarized it really well
you forgot gojo's 2 other half
@@abdimuhaymanhassan6013cringe
@@dachristiangamerliterally
@@abdimuhaymanhassan6013we get it he’s dead, now add to the discussion
I believe Sukuna REALLY almost died a few times... but, only bc he took intentional risks. Killing Gojo was not top priority in that fight.
He wanted to 1) see 10 Shadows' limits, 2) analyze Mahoraga's Adaptation, and 3) dissect Infinity. Note, these are ALL in service of learning / becoming stronger.
Ofc he was extending his love, but he also saw opportunities to grow, risking his life to do it.
EDIT: Learning could be the ENTIRE goal, honestly. That kind of mental stimulation - it might be how he enjoys himself, whether he benefits from it or not.
great observation. I agree too
yeah, basically he just wanted to upgrade his CT. Otherwise Gojo would have died in the first domain battle
Wow amazing this might be the only chanel we're the jjk fans actually like the story and can analyze what was really happening, with out calling a character a fraud or be biased
@@neb2777 IDK if i would go as far as to say he would have died in the first domain clash but I see what youre saying. Sukuna wasnt learning in the fight because he was purely trying to get stronger. He was trying to learn so that he could kill gojo. I think theres a big difference to be said there. Sukuna needed to grow in order to kill gojo, thats not say gojo wouldve killed him without sukuna growing, but he literally couldnt hit gojo without learning from mahoraga
@@brodyestes2376dude he could of killed him in the early domain clashes reread the manga jeez
I don't know if it's fair to reduce Sukuna's ideals to rejecting companionship and bonds. He has those with Uraume for instance. I think it's more the rejection of putting others before yourself, of lacking the confidence to go it alone. Sukuna doesn't need others to fulfill him, but if he enjoys them he'll keep them around. It's less about rejecting others and more about placing yourself and your pleasures as central, something humans struggle to do (hence his criticism of Jogo and the disaster curses).
Ouuuu I really like how you worded this and tbh I think you’re right alot of people struggle with that exact thing like jogo
Well said
and now he's beefing with a teenager, cause "his willpower irritates me", truly the greatest character
@@kalpeshbhoir7372he beefs with Yuji because Yuji is literally the personification of the opposite of his beliefs
This sounds like the same thing that the philosopher Max Stirner expressed in his book The Unique & Its Property
man, what a fucking banger this has turned out to be. so glad to have worked with u on this
@SUPERNOVA0360 only your comment was cringe 🤣
@SUPERNOVA0360Stop the cap
Did you edit the video?
@SUPERNOVA0360 smoking that dead dog pack lmao
@SUPERNOVA0360 i dont think any of you guys know what cringe means
Sukuna evolved his sorcery in the fight beyond what Gojō could evolve his own techniques to. Sukuna’s mindset and devotion to his pleasures is quite something incredible to witness. And that’s saying a lot since Gojō was also a jujutsu freak
It's the difference in self. Jjk implies selfishness makes up a sorcerer's ability to grow. In reality, it is having such an overwhelming sense of oneself that fuels this selfishness, which in turn leads to strength.
"Above heaven and earth, they alone are the Honored Ones."
gojo is 28 years old sukuna has 1000s of years of experience if gojo even had 100 years of training or expirence he would no diff sukuna
@@Toddles my guy Sukuna was sealed for 1000 years he did not live those 1000 years also it doesn't help your argument that Gojo was sealed in a space where time was wonky and it is specifically stated that Gojo could have been sealed for an infinite amount of time from his perspective and no one would know because Gojo was the only one to experience it. Basiccaly the story goes out of its way to show that both Gojo and Sukana have very similar circumstances and experiences yet Sukuna has been the superior sorcerer every step of the way.

@@Toddles chopped 🤭
This might be the greatest breakdown video on JJK ever put out. Breaking down Gojo's character and how he never moved past his time as a teenager is perfect, and it irks me when other people disregard that fact. Gojo's death even confirms how he never grew as a person because he imagines himself and everyone else from back when he was still in highschool. His mind never truly changed, he was stuck
Trauma does that to people
You get mentally stuck at a certain age when traumatized
Which sets up perfectly for his comeback !!! Nanami said if you want anew you head north . Gojo is going to mirror the Buddha , achieve his second awakening, and clap Sukuna !
*inhales ungodly mass of copium
I think gojo did grow out of it, but he still greatly viewed it as his moment of subjetivation (alienation of his maturity of sorts). Gojo's reality was turned upside down as he found someone who has stronger, his only identity being destroyed. Gojo simply was not himself anymore, he suffered an ego death after he fought toji. However, he found humility in it, while geto delved deep into his own ego (a very dialectical narrative, which plays well into gege's style). From there, gojo strived towards power, not because he was told to be powerful, but because he seeked a sublime trascendental purpose (overthrowing the jujutsu higher ups) similar to yuki. In the end, his fight with toji is what gave him a fully realized character, while on the outside retaining his regular self as a way to protect the fractured egos, not coming from a place of narcicism anymore (not fully atleast)
@@jonathanruiz8723 my guy this isn't Dragon Ball 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He imagined what he was before he became the strongest
This deep analysis of JJK really raises up Gege as a writer for me. I hope others realize this as well
I don’t care what anyone says, Akutami is a genius 📿🙏🗿
He's him! Gojo stans stay mad lmao.
(Listen I'm just trolling Gojo was one of my favorites in the series but to say what Gege did was wrong or bad is just plain wrong in itself).
@@InvisibleMan-tb8keat this point i think people dont like gege because he doesn't really actually use his characters.
like, most of them live and die just to gas up, or be character development for the ones he actually cares about (Gojo, sukuna, yuta and a few others)
(like yeah nanami had it good, megumi had his moments, but like. nobara, mai, miwa, inumaki, hell even fucking Todo)
@@illuminoeye_gaming thats the point of the characters, no? they arent real people but tools of the author to deliver the story
@@Ozone946 always, yes, but a character, to not feel wasted, needs to do more than forward the plot. they should have relationships with other characters, motivations, and maybe most importantly, their own story. a character arc
like nanami, even though most of his arc was pre-events of the show, its delivered through flashback and most importantly its shown very explicitly how its impacted the nanami we see today. and, when it finally concludes his arc with death, he managed to answer every question he had. moreover, it answers questions for US thematically and philosophically as well. then when you add on how he does plot stuff (saving ichiji etc) and his relationships with gojo and yuji, he is the epitome of what im NOT complaining about.
meanwhile nobara, her backstory is right before her death, it doesn't really mean anything to how she behaved, and while yes, she brought great chemistry to the trio with good interactions, she simply did not have an arc. MAYBE theres the whole "i cant sit around idly while yuji and megumi go to work in shibuya" but that... doesn't inform anything? in the end, she is a fun interaction vehicle, but not much else. death is meant to mean something major. its so impactful, so it needs to have weight behind it. like for nanami, it concluded his story. and yet for nobara, all it serves to do is traumatise yuji (and i guess emphasise the danger of sorcery and how noone is safe since she was supposed to he part of the "main trio")
theres a rule of thumb that writers tend to use. if a character can be replaced by an object of sentimental/plot relevance, they're not a good character.
tldr, characters are more than just story advancement, they have their own stories too
the poison resistance from sukuna was a mistranslation, sukuna himself is a poison, so since yuji can withstand him just means that he himself has a resistance to poison
I love how when sukuna says he "cut the world" he LITERALLY cuts the WORLD of jjk by splitting the pages, chapters and volumes. Like he split the verse of jjk which has Gojo inside of it to kill him. Crazy shit.
Split the fandom too
Would be fire if that slash actually takes up two panels with Gojo's body in the middle. But instead we got Strong Offscreen.
I disagree that Sukuna would use himself as a comparison for Jogo. Sukuna has said multiple times (more specifically in the kashimo fight) he does not believe he can be compared to. At the very least, he doesn’t bother himself with comparison of others. He simply doesn’t care about.
So it makes more sense for Sukuna to tell Jogo he could have been on Gojo's. For Sukuna most likely believes that Jogo could never get on his level but thinks being on Gojo's level as a good participation award.
Precisely!!!!🏆
Well said
Yes, and actually in manga(in the anime too, I assume) Sukuna says ''I don't understand it either.'' outside what jogo was personally seeing.
I think that sequence of jogo and sukuna was actually the moment where the brain shows you the happy happy memories or something that you would wanna see before dieing is what that sequence was i guess?
He wasn't comparing jogo to shite.
He just said he could grow stronger if he removed the mental blocks. It doesn't mean he thinks jogo can beat gojo or himself.
I’m actually giving you a standing applause because I’ve never looked so deeply into the fights or the way the story was unveiled. You actually opened my eyes
I also wonder how people get so good at creating complex plots at such degrees when making their literary worlds bc as I’m striving to do something of my own but I usually struggle to come up with something as exciting as Gege’s or other authors to give people an exciting time reading my stuff
Good luck that’s what it’s all about!
This fight will be THE best fight in anime when it gets animated. It’s got that Hisoka vs Chrollo chess game energy. Sukuna had the Batman level pre-planning and understanding Gojo’s abilities observing thru Yuji. Gojo being the prodigy he is, kept up with every adjustment Sukuna made on the fly.(besides the last one.)
The repeated domain expansion battle was awesome since it showed that in a fight between the strongest, rules for the average don’t apply. Switching between domain amplification and rct mid-combat. Just crazy amazing stuff.
I always thought Gojo would come out on top but the fact he never had to use the fuga flames shows Sukuna didn’t play his all of his cards. So while the airport scene might’ve had the Gojo stans bothered, it wasn’t false.
It’s like Sukuna went into a fight with a self-placed win condition in getting the infinity-cutting slash, not just getting the W because why not add a stupid OP property to your already OP technique? So yes, Gojo had many close chances to win but I think too many people are downplaying Sukuna’s tactical ability because they’re salty but he proved to be superior to Gojo.
Hell I’d say all the foreshadowing Sukuna has shown with his interest throughout the series towards Megumi was genius writing by Gege. And Gojo telling Megumi their ancestors’ history. The writing was on the wall for us this whole time. Sukuna showed patience, preparation and perseverance were the keys to his victory.
I dont see it that way at all, I just kinda thought Megumi-Sukuna just abused Mahoraga and got an Easy W vs Gojo. I even read the later chapters and it just seemed like Sukuna could shake off everything that happened this whole arc, like Gojo was just a light stepping stone and not a full blown arduous and hard fought battle one would need to recover and recoup from
@@lilbroomstick7914 I mean in current manga, Sukuna is getting his shit rocked by fodder BECAUSE of Gojo. Gojo is singlehandedly the reason that every single major character in the fight (Maki, Yuta, Yuji etc) hasn't been instantly killed by Sukuna. He weakened him to such a degree that even Yuta ''I'd only get in Gojo's way while he fought Sukuna'' Okkotsu was able to keep up, not to mention Yuji and Maki who are both even weaker.
Yeah SUKUNA won the battle of the strongest, and there's no doubt about it. But SUKUNA will lose the war of the strongest for sure, as GOJO alone can be defeated by using lame trick or something, but the modern will struggle but in the end of the manga, SUKUNA will die with end of this whole fucking Shinjuku
6 months later, and the furnace point actually just turned into more praise for gojo. i guess he was just referring to his true form
Great video and I agree that the fight did wonders for both Sukuna and Gojo in terms of characterization, particularly when you add Kashimo's fight on top of it. Of the strongest, Gojo is the most human, the most willing to push others forward to match him because he feels that isolation from humanity and - through various developments like those depicted in Hidden Inventory - has found a solution in bringing others to his level. Kashimo never had this development in his life time, he was never able to come up with a plan to bridge the divide, to conquer the loneliness. In a way he is what Gojo would have been if he had never pursued helping the students and revamping Jujutsu society. In defeat, Kashimo finds the answers he is looking for and is at peace.
Then there is Sukuna. Who is exactly what we have been told all along, a calamity, a force of nature. His solution to the loneliness of his strength was simply to abandon humanity and focus on himself. His continued quest for strength is shown to be a vehicle for his hedonistic desires, a necessary step towards maintaining his agency. Interestingly, he sees humanity as less of something to be a part of, and more as something to snack on for its variety and flavor (both metaphorically and actually) - which explains why he never stops and why he will continue to be a danger to all who cross his path. There is still more to be revealed on his front, as we still don't have his backstory (including his "fall" in the Heian period), or even his curse technique, but we now have an explanation on how he sees his fights and his outlook on the problem of strength.
I think once the people still in shock over Gojo's death look at the fight as whole, and in the larger context of the series, they will appreciate it not only for what it did for the story, but how it fleshed out and concluded Gojo as a character.
btw sukuna died of natural causes he didn't really fall he was a diety til the end
True, but also, I still miss Gojo. ),:
Also now I know that the natrator is not allways reliable, but they can't stop glazing sukuna and it got anoying 30 chapters ago.
@@Seloliva1015 Narrator didn't say Gojo won Kusakabe did. Please understand how to read the manga before spreading incorrect information. Anything that isn't a box/rectangle is NOT the narrator. Moreover, if one was just paying attention to the context - a conversation between Yuji and Kusakabe - you could understand that the comment was Kusakabe's analysis according to what they knew. They did not know that Sukuna had already gotten the model for the world slash in 234.
I disagree with the statement that jogo’s afterlife vision is fake. The same thing happens to kashimo and I find it funny that you didn’t mention his afterlife vision thinking you’d debunk that too.
I find his reasoning for Jogos convo being fake pretty good, if you could give a rebuttal to those that would be neat. Also he probably didnt try to debunk Kashimos convo because he thinks it to be real, which I also agree with.
@@unoriginalandunfunny1563I didn’t watch the vid but Ik you’re wrong
@@unoriginalandunfunny1563 I disagree with the reasoning that he would never use Gojo as a point of comparison and use himself.
The entire point of the Kashimo death scene is to show off that Sukuna believes himself to be UNcomparable. He would never use himself as a measuring stick for Jogo because he believes he could never reach him.
@@cake6851that’s a good way to look at it. It also makes sense for him to use Gojo because while he thinks he is the strongest he does give gojo respect and believe him to be strong. Like how he said he was surprised he didn’t rule because of his strength
I've written a more extended clarification of this in the pinned comment but I'll explain here too; I said in the video that Jogo's vision might be fake. And since Kashimo's vision was shown, many people think Jogo's couldn't possibly be fake. The thing is, Kashimo's vision doesn't seem exceedingly “real” either. They shift landscapes twice, Kashimo goes from looking like an old man to his young self, etc. The only constant in both scenes is Sukuna. Even in the Jogo vision, what Sukuna was saying, except for the bit about reaching Gojo's heights, entirely makes sense for Sukuna's character. Burning away everything you don't like, being true only to yourself and not to anything so vague as “becoming human” in the case of Jogo, that sounds entirely like Sukuna's ideology. Much like what Sukuna told Kashimo, he should have burnt everything to a cinder, been satisfied only with himself instead of trying to "find love to alleviate his loneliness". In both the scenes whose authenticity is quite intentionally called into question via their framing & presentation, the only constant is Sukuna's character. You can think that Jogo and Kashimo scenes actually happened, I myself think we've yet to receive the full picture and they are deeply entwined in the true nature of cursed energy. Like I say in the video though, for now it doesn't matter. The subjective experiences of Jogo and Kashimo shape their respective realities as they die; Sukuna's character remaining constant, Sukuna's character pervading someone's subjective experience, only adds to Sukuna's characterization.
The comparison between the Gojo V Toji and Sukuna V Gojo fights blew my mind. And then you added how the two fights together, complete the cycle started by the original Ten Shadows V Six Eyes/Limitless fight, in which they both died.
A 1hr long analysis on one of my favorite animanga fights?? Less go I'm hyped.
15:06
15:28 😊
25:12 😊😅😮😊 25:54
😊😅😅i😅
We saw that Sukuna won domain battle twice and gojo won it once and the remaining was always a draw. Sukuna lost only 1 battle only by less than 0.01 sec. If he used his heinan form, Gojo would take longer to beat him in hand combat and Sukuna would just win the domain battle everytime. that's much easier for Sukuna , but he still chose this method to get "stronger" even tho he is already the "strongest" but gojo was trying to be the strongest. Sukuna is a terrifying antagonist. He needs to die otherwise he will keep getting stronger. He doesn't care about human life. Making someone like him fight against Yuji who struggled throughout the series to become strong enough to save others is a really good set up.
I agree he had to die but if yuji making a power jump like that is a asspull you don’t just jump to the level of Gojo and Sukuna. But idk something that stuck with me was Gojo telling Toji he should of cut his head off so idk.
yeah but gojo could still operate within his domain using simple domain and rct, sure it'd be a little harder for gojo but not much because most of the time the fight was one sided, without without mahogora sukuna could not finish the fight, with hein form the fight would be less one sided but gojo ultimately would have won due to sukuna not being able to get passes infinity without his domain, and then in the domain he cant just one shot gojo
@@GabeSolos buddy, heinan form sukuna will win the domain battle everytime. gojo ain't winning
@@shotboy-kw9vu gojo can still operate In sukunas domain?
@@GabeSolos he will keep getting slashes. everyone knows that gojo will lose if he continue to lose domain battle. reread. sorcerers who were watching the fight said that as well. continuous domain expansions + continuous RCT takes abnormal amount of curse energy. its more than gojo can generate.
I noticed that both Gojo and Jogo had their fight ended with a desperate attempt on their side to destroy everything aroun them (Maximum Meteor and the unbound maximum purple) only to fail and then getting hit by something they didn't expect.
Gojo wasn't desperate he was fighting with time cause mahoraga ended up adapting to gojos ability
Gojo clearly wasn't desperate.
@@jimohabdulqudus4283 if try to nuke yourself without knowing that you would survive. thats kinda of desperate
@@yamsbeans He didn't thunk he wouldn't survive?
He knew he would survive lol...He said, this is the first time I tried it.
10/10 video I loved the hour long analysis depth to it.
26:00 cant believe people still think Gojo was carried by his Infinity when during the fight, time and time again he was shown to adapt and think outside the box, getting cut up during Sukunas DE and able to endure and RCT it. There is alot in the fight to look at and dissect, it wasnt solely Sukuna waiting for Mahoraga toadapt but for both Gojo and Sukuna to learn from each other and become stronger. For Gojo he was finally pushed to his limits and be creative, for Sukuna is was to upgrade his Cleave and Dismantle.
1:00:00 This gave me literal chills... its different reading the manga physically and by volume then chapter by chapter to fully grasp the story. Also it brings foward the theory that the narrator is the merger...
I am curious now how Yuuji counters Sukuna far beyond power but as a character. I look foward to a video analysis of Yuuji vs Sukuna fight from you ❤
Any long fight needs to be binged to get it fully
You’re too dumb to analyze
The fight might have been great, but gojo's death really felt cheap... I'm not against killing Gojo, i think he was a flawed character, and there are a lot of themes to explore upon his death, but at the end of the day you can't tell me his death wasn't just a huge Deus Ex Machina... Sukuna didn't have enough time to develop that ending, Gojo had clearly won, and than Sukuna just "cut's space" out of nowhere like that's something we should just shut up and accept. All of that and Gojo never faced the facts that he was a teenager his whole life, that he closed himself to others after Geto died, that he couldn't grow as a sorcerer because he never grown as a person... All of that was never really pointed at during his final battle. His death was underwhelming on his character development, it felt like pure shock value.
And they told me Gege "hates Gojo"
Some people just can't read
Just as they hate Yuji. Gege came out and said they just have difficulty writing Yuji, and I assume Gojo was too powerful to include through most of those arcs, or like 2 years in real life time.
Great analysis. I feel like this whole clash of ideologies between strength of an individual vs as a team will be resolved when Yuji* shows off the combined strength of himself and his “brothers”.
You mean Yuji?
@@Noone-we9vbwhoops! Thanks 😅
In my opinion, Gojos' death is a perfect ending to his character. I was dying to someone strong and finally freeing him from the endless and unending loneliness that he had since Geto leaving. I think nothing says this more than the final panel we have of Gojo sukuna. Smiling on the ground as Sukuna praises him. And while I am and have been of the opinion that Gojo is stronger than than the Sukuna of the Heian era, it is Sukunas ability to turn himself into a cursed object, his greed and Neverending desire for strength as well as his planning that allowed him to steal Megumi's body and then use said body to defeat the strongest character.
I Also would love your opinion on the idea that Gojos own mindset is the reason he failed. Not only did he see Sukuna as an equal but before that he saw Geto as an equal as well as knowing that Megumis 10 shadows once killed Someone identical to himself. I think these two factors made him doubt his own strength, thus limiting his ceiling.
This is what I was thinking he completed his wish and fulfilled his desire and that’s perfect + he gets to chill with his friends
I couldn't help but think that Gojo going into the fight seeking to do something for Sukuna that he's always wanted for himself was not the correct mindset to enter the fight with. After watching this video, it just supports how fucking busted Gojo is to be able to do all this with that mindset. In Shibuya, if he prioritized preventing his sealing or death understanding that it would lead to more deaths than all the people in Shibuya combined, he would have won. But again, he did what he wanted and damn near succeeded, just like in his fight with Sukuna.
@@MetalSolidCrisis gojo is human at the end of the day, its why i like his character so much, his personality is pretty trashy but he is a good human being when it counts, gojo takes L's the entire series and everytime its not because of how strong he is, its because of how imperfect he is, he still thinks and feels like a human being
@@spectron5012 exactly one hundred percent. It makes his character so much more likeable to me, when I read Gojo vs Sukuna and I see those panels where he makes quips and jokes and Sukuna is staring at him with softer eyes- he knows what's going on, he knows what Gojo is aiming for and he plays along with it, almost like he appreciates the effort and attempt to push him further than anyone has. Sukuna views Gojo as a flower, he appreciates its bloom but know it will never understand him. It's a magnificent fight but it's clear to me Gojo would always lose- he never had the mentality required to win or he'd stop being himself, he wouldn't be Gojo. You get the answer to Geto's question too, and the answer is both. Excellent work by Gege 10/10 will read again.
@@MetalSolidCrisis i mean gojo would never win that fight because of plot realistically, itadori needs to be the one to play a major role in killing sukuna, gojo has no plot armor sukuna has a fuck load, the fight prolly shouldnt have happened in the first place, but at least it was cool
reading these comments i am so glad there are people in this fandom that actually read this manga with their eyes opened especially this fight and appreciate it its a shame a lot of people are attacking gege saying he doesnt know what he is doing or that he is a bad writer just because they didnt understand it at all
Not really bad writing just a really stupid mistake gege could’ve easily handled better.
If gege didnt off screen Gojo and didn’t have Gojo meat ride in the end it would’ve been an amazing end to Gojo
A final clash where Gojo lost because sukuna finally learned how to tear through his technique and Gojo dies with no afterlife scene would’ve been better 100%
i think the story went really downhill after the culling games porperly began, from a pacing perspective the series decreases in quality quite tremendously, and after sukuna took over megumi's body there was really no going back, the back of the prison realm being a thing, angel being a thing and sukuna being in full control meant that gojo had to be brought back, which was by far the biggest mistake gege has ever made with the writing of JJk. It also just sucks off sukuna way too hard, he is a pretty lame villain all things considered and the story had to go out of its way so many bloody times just to make him win, hell we didnt even know mahoraga could give someone else its adaptations, but lets say it can, mahoraga is a walking "it works this way because the author says so" card, it doesnt give a single fuck about whats possible and reasonable and whats not, it simply breaks every law of the series to do whatever dafuck it wants
@@spectron5012 i think what you are saying is mostly how you personally feel about the story like you didnt want gojou to come back you didnt like sukuna taking over megumi and things like that but you know what thats ok the writers write the story however they want it and not everyone can like their decisions but you have to differentiate that from writing because just because you didnt like the directions the things that went down it doesnt mean its bad writting from gege's side , look at the other corner so many people absolutely loved the things you didnt like and maybe the fact that you view those things in a bad light is affecting your judgment of the writting i have read many series i didnt personally like but i could see why many other peolple liked and why the writing was actually good yeah anyway sorry for yapping but maybe if you were to reread you might see things differently bc the second time you read the story you have the advantage of already knowing the surface of it now you can go beyond that... and maybe understand somethings else about why things happened the way they did
@@luckypuffs7463 i understand how things came to be the way they were, i still think creating angel as a character was a very big mistake, because she was the biggest walking mucguffin in the whole show, you literally just sealed gojo an arc before so you could finally create plausible threats, and then you release him back out with very minimal difficulty without ever upscaling your existing characters, and then you kill him off right after because you wrote yourself into a corner with sukuna, it really just leaves me thinking "what was the point of that?" same with yuki to be honest, sukuna and kenjaku are just walking plot armor with very boring goals, hell at least kenjaku has one i guess, but i dont really care about it anymore because of the amount of times the story had to bail him out, like escaping a blackhole? fuck off with that. we havent even seen kenjaku and sukuna really... fail? i guess kenjaku got decapitated by yuta but we dont even know if thats gonna matter. i honestly like the idea of sukuna taking over megumi's body, i dont like how it was done tho, it was far too early in the story to commence an end game scenario, the characters are just nowhere near strong enough to even have a fighting chance against both kenjaku and sukuna, just kenjaku would have been a problem, so now we are stuck in a spot where anything that gege comes up with will most likely feel very unsatisfying, like yuji getting a soul killing technique or whatever
It was a bad ending to a good fight no matter how it’s framed
When gojo got split in half it symbolise gojo being dead
Obviously
No way ?
😲
32:21 I think the "stand proud" scene is real, especially when you consider the compassion one shows enemies that Sukuna was talking about with Kashimo.
Life is good man yes
Ya can’t be a post-modern traditionalist, bruh
This is undoubtably not only my favorite fight in the series, but 236 is also my favorite chapter in the series. 236 was clearly a chapter that divided the fanbase, some having reasonable thoughts and others not so much. I haven't finished your video yet, but I can already tell how much work you've put it.
Man I love this series, the fanbase not so much. Im hoping that a year from now, similar to how alot of people seemed to hate Yuji VS Mahito and even Shibuya. They can look back and say "That was a serious Masterpiece."
A lot of people hated Yuji vs Mahito and Hakari vs Kashimo when those fights initially aired and now everybody acts like they loved those fights from the beginning. I hate the JJK fanbase so much.
@@FirmlyGrasp_IT EXACTLY! Those are many peoples number ones now but the fanbase was UNBEARABLE during it. I'm sure these newest chapters are gonna be the same.
There were/are sheep who wanted Gojo to live and were delusional he was going to live, the other side were people who werent against Sukunas W but couldnt phantom how Sukuna executed Infinity and the one off panel leaving a bitter taste, it seems from this video that it was done intentionally as no one really knows Sukuna and his capabilities fully which is true as Gege has been keeping everything of him unwraps and the information we were given was from characters not Sukuna himself... so this brings a bit more understanding in what Gege is trying to show. It will definitely take more time and for JJK to finish to fully grasp what Gege intentions were in this fight and Gojo death being this way.
@@SemekiIzuioSo if people wanted Gojo to live, they’re “sheep” but everyone else are normal? Y’all glazers be killing me man
@@MindlessMenaceThis had nothing to do with glazing anyone.
i may be missing something, but if the Sukuna guy can generate a cut in the world on Gojo Position, in a way that even gojo wasnt able to dodge, why he dont just do the same with every other sorcerer in the anime ? Gojo was tha fastest and died by this ...
i also didn't get the reason Gojo gave sukuna a month to prepare ...
I think kenjaku represents pure unrestrained rationalism. Sukuna is hedonism, while gojo is modernism .
Kenjaku being an enemy to modernism makes sense. As modernism seeks to "have its cake and eat it too".
Hedonism, at the very least is a consistant philosophy, while modernism stands in contradiction to itself.
Despite all pretense, modernism still places power at the top.
Thats why itadori is such an interesting character. I believe we are seeing the last vestiges of the "cog" mentality fade away. No matter how much itadori tries to be a cog, the story reminds him that he is a real person, with real conections to people that are being killed right in front of his eyes.
I believe itadori will represent vitalism.
The persuit of Life, with capital L. Unlike gojo, itadori will persue ideals with out self indulgance. He will give himself entirely to Life .
Thats why only he can stand in oposition to sukuna, to hedonism.
Modernism indulges in hedonism, while vitalism is a holistic rejection of both rationalism, and hedonism. Vitalism seeks that which goes beyond rationality and self interest. That which truly makes us feel Life.

Yuji is immune to poison not because of Sukuna. But because it is his innate trait to be resistant to poison. Sukuna is the poison which Yuji is immune of hence why he is able to cage Sukuna.
Homie fucked around and wrote a mf thesis on this shit. 10/10. Really really nice job. You are a talented writer and storyteller keep doing what you do!
Reminds me of Gouken vs Akuma. Gouken was not enlightened, he was just empty, while Akuma considers himself absolute due to his own selfishness and disregard for others, while wearing a mark that says Heaven in Japanese
Can you expand upon Akuma's part?
@@Ouriithe23rd I don't really know much more. the back of Gouken's shirt says null or void or something like that, while Akuma's says Ten(=Heaven in Japanese)
essentially you're saying that sukuna is perfect right and that everything goes his way and if you have even a little bit of his ideals, you'll be in the top tiers of the whole verse
He addressed this. The characters aligned with his ideals **a little bit** & **temporarily**. Even a little bit can give characters a big buff but it doesn’t instantly make them the top of the verse for reasons mentioned above & in the video. Now before you say it yes. Meimei may completely embody Sukuna’s selfish mindset but **they have vastly different desires.**
I may have misunderstood your comment. I just wanted to clear up any misunderstandings you may have
Not perfect, just right. Since he understands the core of true jujutsu he understands that hedonistic ideology grants said power. He's obviously not perfect since he's hedonistic but even God's aren't perfect.
This video kinda makes no sense to me. Especially when he is talking about how Yuki lost because she didn't just rely on herself. But in the battle Gojo vs Meguna, Sukuna does the same thing relying on Megumi, his souls and technique... So did Sukuna go against his ideals???
@@Tojiiinowehere near the same. Yuki was relying on Tengen to take care of Kenjaku’s domain and back her up if it came to it. Sukuna doesn’t rely on Megumi, he is utilizing Megumi body sure, but he isn’t relying on Megumi himself to do anything for him.
@@undeadlegionare3643 No. He relied on Megumi. Do not try to change it to fit this videos narrative. He relied on Megumi's face, soul, and technique which played a HUGE part in his win. The only difference is the plot was on Sukuna's side and not Yuki's. Because if Sukuna died then it'd be he died because he relied on Megumi and not himself.... This is why thinking too much about specific topics can blur the actual meaning behind things. Not everything has to have some deep meaning.

This video was fantastic, genuinely the best thematic analysis I've seen of this fight.
It's genuinely a shame the more "shonen mentality" of fans can't appreciate this masterpiece.
Yeah, people too quickly give up on searching for a deeper meaning in stories when they find out that "oh its just a battle shounen". Some of the most celebrated series in terms of their quality have been shonen.
@@fuffythegreatunless the deeper meaning is handed to them on a silver platter in the first 10-20 chapters, "its just another battle shonen". those that do explicitly make that meaning obvious are pushed up onto a pedestal while all other shonen are seen as "just shonen" because it takes actual contextual analysis (jjk), dedication and awareness (one piece) or philosophical thinking (jojos) to understand.
and yeah, while JoJo's is gassed up that's mainly cuz the fights are insane. like its just " *the* battle shonen" when theres so much more to love (as much as the fights could be argued to be the best part)
right, "i had to think not only consume" = masterpiece

Sukuna used gojo as a reference towards jogo only because he thinks that nobody can reach sukkuna strength, and here we can jump to question sukkuna was asked "were u born strongest or u became strongest?"
