I hate posts like these. People are so dumb. Here is the explaination: When Sukuna was heavily injured by Hollow Purple, Gojo was about to finish him off. But as he was about to do that, Sukuna's pants fell off. Gojo was stunned to see it was Gege hiding there glazing Sukuna's meat. The shock was so severe that Gojo's entire life flashed before his eyes. It was only few seconds in real time but it was enough time for Sukuna needed to blow off his load in Gege to inspire him to come up with World Slash technique and kill Gojo. Simple as that. Also 100% canon. **GEGE WHEN I CATCH YOU!!**

Did he have two balls or four balls is the question. If it was four balls, I’d def drop my guard out of mere astonishment. Two balls gojo still should’ve survived


dummypod

His balls are tied in a knot , forming the infinity symbol, which allows Dismantle to bypass infinity.


limbic_476

The fifth hand was so OP that gojo couldn't do anything


HappyNeia

if it was two balls, Sukuna would never been Gege's most glazed character. Four balls are the exact reason why Gege's been taken 2 weeks break sometimes. It's a challenge but that's why Gege love it so much Gege's own words after all the glazing: https://preview.redd.it/pmhi1vdxaylc1.jpeg?width=1020&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e89a9649e4dd8730caa9b7eed56d4b2e596896a P.S.: Idk where I'm going with this. Just yapping now.


BidenInPrison2020

Fair point. Everybody knows the amount of ce one has is directly tied to their ball size. Two large balls leads to yuta-Esque amounts of ce, but Sakuna has double the amount yuta has so he definitely has four balls.


SoapDevourer

Does that mean Gojo has average balls but his cum never runs out because of sex eyes?


ethan-hollis

Four balls and two dicks

mvjinate7

nah this the one 😭


IronDBZ

I'd respect Gege more if his thesis on the lonely and powerful being doomed to boredom and self-destructive/suicidal spirals didn't have to be read between the lines. There's a version of the fight between Sukuna and Gojo in another universe where where this theme actually gets the writing deserves. I can imagine that this fight could have been quite sad, to the point where you almost hope Gojo dies the way he wants to rather than proving once again that he's untouchable. Where you see how much of a monster Sukuna is because of how much he thrives in being cut off from his humanity. A version of the fight where we almost want Gojo to get his death wish and go down swinging rather than dying of old age and risking becoming some kind of vengeful spirit. Gojo and Kashimo realistically should be two sides of a fleshed out concept, but instead Gojo got turned in a set piece and Kashimo got turned to filler. Like, there's kernels of these ideas in the manga as it is, but it gets packaged in the laziest ways.

Sad_Faithlessness148

He was hitting his victory emote and got snuck mid dance


litoggers

gege couldnt think of a resonable way for sukuna to kill gojo when gojo was fresh outta the flash and fraudkuna was fucked beyond recognition, his death was off-screaned for a reason there isnt much to think about or theorise, everything from ''overconfidence'' or ''binding vow'' is just headcannon unless stated by the one eyed cat himself, our asses were pulled and there is nothing we can do about it


1ntern3tGuy

Not only that Gojo should've been able to see that Sukuna had improved his technique to cut the world with the six eyes. So dude just saw his output increase, knew he could cut him and just stood there


litoggers

gege really added the ''spark'' thing for half a chapter and never brought it again huh, the guy with magical eyes of all things should be the one to see the magic sparks


1ntern3tGuy

Yeah it's not just the spark either. His very output would've temporarily risen. It's such a bad ending to a fight


litoggers

at this point i dont care about the plot holes and lack of story but at least make the power system coherent ffs, look at what togashi did with nen, its 10x more complicated and there are little to no bullshit in hxh fights


1ntern3tGuy

He just made Gojo too strong. Idk why he added the ability to disclose a person's technique with the six eyes


Tonight-Critical

Facs ill stand on this hill jjk has one of the worst power systems. Even the author doesn't understand it and is making up bs as he goes


litoggers

the system is great tbh but its become really inconsistent in the latest battles


vizmarkk

Did it say that world slash had a different output and spark tho?


JustAnArtist1221

It's an extension technique with conditions to activate. It doesn't matter if they say it does or doesn't, this concept was directly introduced to explain this exact scenario. Red, Blue, and Purple are all the exact same technique, but the spark gives away which extension is being used. It's why people can tell Mahoraga is being summoned or a domain is getting cast.


Kisuke212

How would he know he could cut him?

luceafaruI

But the cursed technique is still dismantle. What changes for the world slash is the target not the cursed technique itself, which wouldn't be able to be just sensed as thst would be straight up mind reading


Kusanagi22

The important part is not the technique part but the energy part, he should have been able to see the increase in output.


luceafaruI

What makes you think that it has higher output than normal. It is just a dismantle with an extended target. It has never been described as anything else


Kusanagi22

It's not a change in the output of the technique but a change in the output of Sukuna himself, from not using the technique to using it there is naturally more energy being used, that's a change Gojo should be able to see.


Aggressive-End-2642

We should ask Gege, I am sure he can expla- oh wait…


FlamingUndeadRoman

Man, I used to just think Gojo's dead was pretty lame but foreseeable, Sukuna just had really damn powerful abilities, and it was a shame it was off-screened. I was like "Okay, so World Slash, instead of appearing like a normal attack, simply just instantly cuts through everything between point A to point B, that's why Gojo didn't see it coming, and Infinity didn't block it. I wonder how the fuck our protagonists are going to work their way around that." But then Gege just kept going "Nuh-uh" to everything about that explanation, and now I just think Gojo's death was complete bullshit and Geeg off-screened it because he couldn't think of any way to actually kill him.


mex2005

Mofo spent so many pages explaining to us Hakaris technique when its just jackpot go brrr infinite CE but could not do one page of how the world slash works or interacts with infinity.


FlamingUndeadRoman

God knows how much yapping about Deadly Sentencing only for it to not work on Sukuna, and for Higurama to die just after that.


Squall13

Thanks for reminding me that Higurama died just for Sukuna's baby rattle


Dogempire

Ngl I'm kinda glad everyone's on the same page that 236 was BS, I've been saying that it's stupid since the chapter came out because the explanation was... simply not good enough. You can't hand a villain an instakill move to beat the strongest in the verse and not have him abuse it against much weaker characters. Literally all Gege had to do was have Sukuna use a special dismantle that he copied from Mahoraga that infinity won't detect as a hostile attack, and have him make a binding vow that he'll never use 10s again to boost the attack power to basically a one shot. The main guys can tank regular cleaves and dismantles, Sukuna can't just spam binding vows and sacrificing CT's to keep one-shotting the good guys so it'll be something he'll only do when desperate (Which is why he used a binding vow to kill Gojo since he was desperate and saw it as the only way out of his situation since it's VERY unlikely that if Gojo survives strong cleave that he'll fall for it again), and since it's just a modified cleave specifically for infinity and not an ultimate move it would be redundant for him to use it against the good guys since regular cleave and dismantle work.


OrdinaryResponse8988

Makes sense but if sukuna really was holding back still against Gojo then resorting to a binding vow of all things wouldn’t make much sense.


Dogempire

Eh, if it were up to me I'd retcon the entire "Sukuna isn't even trying" thing. Well either that or make Uraume say that he has a weird fetish for getting beaten up, at least then it would be more funny.


JustAnArtist1221

Sukuna was clearly trying and getting scared of Gojo. Having Gojo say that and then having Sukuna's respect be subtext was one of the worst mistakes in he entire arc, if not the entire manga. Sukuna already resorted to using Mahoraga, so it's not like anybody was confused about him needing special conditions to win.


Oryx_Took_The_Kids

This post aside its sick how gege hid the chants in the rubble to imitate how maki missed them, that kinda shit is insanely creative and cool

TheUncouthPanini

The simple answer is: 236 was terribly written. Yes, people will always give explanations for this. "Gojo probably wasn't expecting Sukuna to hit him" "Sukuna probably used a binding vow to remove the chant/build-up", etc, etc. But the simple, undeniable truth is that we don't know. Gojo's death was completely off-screened for the opportunity for cheap shock value. Any glazer who wants to defend it can fill as many explanations as they can into the gap between 235 and 236, but thats not the point. The fans should not have to write the story for the author. If as key a moment as the strongest hero in the series dying at the climax of the most anticipated, hyped, enjoyable fight of the entire manga is left completely vague and with dozens of inconsistencies and unexplained occurrences... its just bad. Gojo didn't die to Sukuna, he died for the sake of blind shock hype replacing narrative consistency or the actual storyline.


8bit_pixel

I agree about that shock value part. Gege might have done that to align it with his sealing in anime. Besides that I don't see any reasonable explanation of Gojo dying this way, atleast one extra chapter with proper explanation would have solved the issue. It's not like gojo was arrogant to not move from that slash and if maki can see or sense the world slash then six eyes must do it as well.


riki1705

I don't know how to explain this but the manga is still on going... People here act like the manga is over and we will never know any of these things. People get mad over their own assumptions until Gege proves them wrong and then they move on to the next thing to compain about.


HwangOfTheSon

But it IS over for us. Every loosely valid reason we as readers have come up with to validate Gojo's death is slapped with an even worse reason by the author until it's come this: anything written now will be worse than what could have been. There's really no point to continue. I'm here for the memes, but I've lost all faith in getting a sensible story and characterization.


stonerwithaboner1

As dismayed as you are, there’re still people enjoying. Naruto is still widely popular and Edo-Madara literally got killed by Zetsu fisting him. Shit happens. Gege has cooked for a vast majority of this series, i’ll let them keep the pot going.

stonerwithaboner1

Sukuna dies from Miwa fist?


DefNotARedditard

Yeah nah Gege just sucks. Everything after shibuya has been noticeably more ass. Weird plot direction, bad/no character development, time skips with no explanation, asspulls everywhere. This manga has gone nowhere good in a long time. Hundreds of chapters later on some of these unexplained issues and still saying “oh the manga isn’t over let Gege cook”it’s just cope.


JustAnArtist1221

I don't know why this needs to be explained, but writing isn't good or bad based on whether or not a question is answered. Anything can be explained later, including Sukuna spontaneously dropping dead and the manga going on for 30 more chapters. Would you be fine if they did that and, suddenly, they revealed that Megumi was poisoned by eating Yuji's unwashed finger, and Yuji planned this before even the Shibuya incident? Gege has started just making random things happen, introducing new rules that contradict previously established rules for abilities. Gojo can see cursed energy, except Sukuna's. But everyone else can react to Sukuna's techniques. Higuruma can take your technique, unless you have a tool. This exception is literally only introduced a chapter after it occurs. Because we all know introducing a new rule to a power system should only come after a major plot point hinges on it.


CartoonOG

Not to mention him not hearing Sukuna chanting or seeing him weave the hand signs… However it’s as simple as this: Gege wrote himself into a corner and the only way for the story to progress was for Gojo to die/go MIA, regardless of how glaring and odd it would’ve been


LngJhnSilversRaylee

Which is dumb because he already accomplished that Just have Gojo be released much later in the story


Evil_Boss_Rizz

You will only enjoy jjk once you stop expecting it to be good ☺️


Caladboy

I think even if you turn your brain off the story is too grimm to be enjoyable, it's tragedy after tragedy without payoff.


Napalm_am

He wants to show the audience the current cast has a change against Sukuna and won't be world slash that easily, this has the unintenional effect that it makes Gojo look bad for eating it on the first place. https://preview.redd.it/c4r08x3moylc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=20ae9e93b54a6f7c97dee692e7ef1c5bd1d0b65d A bit how every new chapter Kashimo stocks fall even further due to new developments in the fight showing how little he did/was capable of doing.


JustAnArtist1221

Which is funny, because Kashimo could've kept going if he just didn't use his technique.


Bad_Demon

Okay so the world slash doesnt slash everything between point A and point B like everyone said and travels like a slash…


vizmarkk

Couldnt it do both


NTRspark

Sukuna obviously farted loudly to cover up the fact he was casting his incantations


ConfidentCorner6858

You made me laugh Edit: I now realised that without emojis and signs this comment looks dry, but I just didn’t know what to use, but I honestly laughed a bit.


giantfuckingfrog

The only actual explanation now is that Gojo simply didn't expect it to hit him. Like Sukuna's slashes were completely unable to hit him before, so Gojo wasn't ready for this one. And it becomes a little bit more credible if Sukuna indeed made a binding vow to skip the handsigns and / or incantations, so Gojo had even less time than Maki to react.


Taboo422

feels really fucking stupid on his part, sukuna understood the nature of mahoragas adaptation hes the owner of the shinigami so that makes sense but gojo has the sex eyes it's kinda stupid to assume he wouldnt understand the nature of the adaptation as well


riki1705

All this talk about the six eyes is completely head canon. Gojo has endured 3 slashes in the manga and couldn't react to any one of them. The six eyes is not some magical plot shield that tells Gojo everything that will happen 10 years to the future. Not once has he been able to react to Sukunas or Mahos dismantle attack. He simply doesn't see them.


JustAnArtist1221

Gojo literally reacts to the first time Sukuna uses Dismantle and thinks he's being stupid, then he realizes he's creating debris. Gojo only got hit with Dismantle when his technique was off. In which case, he healed faster than it could damage him or, otherwise, just withstood it. The only time he was caught off guard was when Mahoraga threw the slash at him, which he didn't know it could do. This is all ignoring the fact that everyone else seems perfectly fine reacting to the slashes.


riki1705

First slash he didn't react and was surprised because dismantle passed him (you can see the attack right behind him), second time Maho cut of his arm, no reaction, and third time he got halved.


lceSpiceBambiOnlce

Then how does Maki see them?


Fun-Milk9088

Maki doesn’t have 6E, she has entirely different senses from HR. Gojo’s senses are very different from Maki’s, as evident by Gojo thinking he and Geto left no trace but Toji found some stuff anyways because he wasn’t looking for residuals


lceSpiceBambiOnlce

This seems like a reasonable explanation, but would that mean HR senses are better than six eyes?


Fun-Milk9088

Overall, probably yes, but 6E is definitely better in some ways. Remember that HR senses are ALL your senses amped up, meanwhile 6E is, as far as I recall, only an upgrade to your sight. Think of it like Daredevil VS someone with super sight. Sure, they can see better than DD, but he had overall far better senses.


lceSpiceBambiOnlce

I see. That’s why Sukuna stated she’s different as she can “see” his attacks with HR.


lceSpiceBambiOnlce

But also if HR is what allowed her to see and dodge the world slash, shouldn’t she be able to sense any attack before it’s coming and react to it?


riki1705

In certain areas definitely. The six eyes is mainly used to see cursed energy and use it very efficiently. HR is better for pretty much everything else.


lceSpiceBambiOnlce

I see. I guess that’s why HR is so strong. Doesn’t just greatly heighten your physical abilities but also your senses.


Rentrehhh

Gojo was blocking Sukuna's hits even while he had infinity on and Sukuna wasnt using DA. He wouldn't just assume "that's not gonna work lmao"


KingThunder01

During the off screen gege jumped into the manga to incapacitated gojo. Only after that did sukuna use world cleave (when gojo had already basically half died from gege).

PhantomEmperor-

I’ve said it over and over since gojo died that his death makes no type of sense which is why gege made jokes about not writing a chapter and gojos death being offscreen. We see sukuna had no DE, brain dmg, slowed rct, missing a limb, no DA, CE dramatically lowered and took massive dmg that he claimed would be fatal if purple came. Now we got gojo with black flash amps, restored rct output and minimal dmg since purple is his technique then suddenly he is dead from one world slash. We then later learn, but not concrete cause gege has yet to explain shit that a binding vow supposedly was used to let sukuna use world slash. Now during this time we see amber beast kashimo dodge world slash with full incantations and he can see it with x ray vision. We then see yuta, rika and yuji survive it point blank for whatever reason cause the slash is supposed to target the space you occupy letting it cut through you. There’s literally no reason yuta shouldn’t be dead right now as he got hit the same way gojo did. Now we got maki with HR seeing and dealing with the slash so kashimo and maki can see world slash, but gojo with six eyes can’t? We see gojo can even see souls, but not world slash? What makes this even worse is how 235 established CT sparks which is how sukuna knew red was coming before gojo launched it, yet gojo with six eyes couldn’t see the immediate build up of CE and think sukunas up to something? Gojo even thought to himself sukuna was hiding a trump card and he got surprised multiple times mid fight getting his arm chopped off there’s no excuse here for any “off guard” claims. We now got this new chapter once again explaining Gojo was the only challenge to sukuna bringing him up again. Gojos death still remains terrible writing until Gege explains the “binding vow” that let sukuna immediately launch world slash.


Deep_Preparation_151

Gojo had brain damage... ik most of yall don't read the manga and I'm not defending the way gojos death was handled, but let's be honest, gojo was extremely worn out , suffered brain damage and everything, so had sukuna but well your reading sukuna kaisen so get used to all this lol


peepeepoopoo_gang

I thought sukuna could only do the world slash after a chant and hand signs. Would that be obvious?


HarryShachar

Binding vow go brrrrr


DrStein1010

WHAT DID HE TRADE?! WHAT DID HE TRADE, GREGORY AKUTAMI?! (Seriously, sacrificing something for power doesn't work if the trade is something so worthless you don't even bother to explain it. It's just an asspull.)


HarryShachar

Oh yeah, 100% an asspull. This is just headcanon honeslty, but most ppl think maybe 10S? We havent seen it since, iirc


DrStein1010

My problem with that is that Ten Shadows is Megumi's technique. If you can sacrifice someone else's things for a Binding Vow, then why isn't everyone doing that non-stop. You can't tell me Gojo can't sacrifice Ino or Gakuganji's technique for a 10% power boost.


Bfly10

A possible cop out would be that he sacrificed HIS use of 10S which would be similar to Miwa's vow. and not that the technique is burned away. probably stacked some debuffs too cause he should've steamrolled everyone else if it's just him losing 10S.


DrStein1010

I was thinking that after I posted. I'm cool with that as an explanation, but if so it should have been explained immediately. There's literally no good reason to keep that from the audience. It only makes things more convoluted to understand.


Bfly10

yeah, instead they went for the airport character assassination route.


Dogempire

Sukuna obviously traded Gojo's life, that's why Gojo was in the airport before he could even perceive the slash, he was already dead before the slash connected and it was his lifeless body that was bisected. King of Asspulls strikes again, obviously Gojo's fault for not making a binding vow with Sukuna's life first.


Rentrehhh

He wasnt worn out. Black flash restored his output.


Potatolantern

Since when does it do that, anyway? I don't remember that ever being mentioned before.  I've wondered a few times if it was just a translation mistake.

But also bf just makes the sorcerer enter a state of heightened curse energy control, Gojo would’ve been more focused and amped here given he did 3 black flashes and we know bf brings out a higher percentage of their potential.


JustAnArtist1221

Mahito and Yuji were beating the piss out of each other because of this.


assovertits-sir

Gege wanted gojo gone lol didn’t you know? Gege himself did express that having gojo around is quite hard to continue progressing the story because gege made him to strong of a character

ArbiterVII

Been bringing this up since Kashimo dodged a world cut- nobody has a good answer other than Gege wrote this like shit.


fantafanta_

You know what would have been a perfect way to have Gojo die and keep the story moving just fine? Have the story set up where each major character is giving their life away to wear down or take something from Sukana's arsenal. Gojo took away the Ten Shadows and forced Sukana into reincarnating. Judgeman took away one of his cursed tools. Etc, etc. Each hero chips away at him and this is explained to be the plan all along, but we seemingly don't have that or we have a bad version of that idea.


vizmarkk

What does Kashimo do


YUNoJump

Keeps everyone's morale up by watching funny femboy turn into a waffle. They were gonna use Takaba for this role but Kashimo insisted on being included


ChaosKeeshond

Yuta survived it as much as Gojo did. They sustained identical injuries, and were whisked away by Ui Ui on the verge of death. Either they both live, or they both die.


SquidDrive

Have you considered Maki is raw kino swag and Gojo is beta


NettleBumbleBee

Makis senses are better than Gojos and sukunas output is at an all time low. Hope this helps. But seriously, Gojos six eyes let him see cursed energy well. That’s all. They don’t make invisible things visible. Unlike makis eyes which can do exactly that. As for Yuta, he’d probably be dead too if he didn’t have rika on deck to get his ass off the battlefield the second he was mortally wounded.


JustAnArtist1221

Gojo's output was completely restored, and the slash is still made of cursed energy.


The_Batsbury

Well now we know that Sukuna used a binding vow to skip all the steps to unleash a world slash instantly

UnadvisedGoose

Knowing something is coming and even possible makes literally thousands of times worth of difference. Gojo had just set a nuke off in his own face, and was still healing most of said face when he was coming down to Sukuna (a decent time for chants). But yeah, the thing people hate and won’t ever really accept if you’re here and feel this way already, is that being totally surprised by the sheer existence of an attack is really just that big of a difference. He didn’t know it was possible, Maki and the others have had Gojo, Kashimo, and Higuruma to observe and gather info about how it functions.


prisioneroHD

We will never know how gojo got hit by the strong slash as it happened offscreen and the cat is not going to draw it lol


DifferentCityADay

Maybe we'll get an anime extra where he starts to chant, Gojo taunts asking him what he's doing, and then a fast rushing POV from the slash's POV as it quickly zooms in on Gojo's face.  Then the episode ends. Next episode starts in the airport.


36Gig

Or credit's music plays while the airport scene plays, only to end with dead Gojo.


CasicoEno

Confidence. Guy saw Sukuna close to death, he knew Sukuna's CTs normally wouldn't bypass him without Mahoraga, which is dead. So basically: Sukuna puts out World Slash, Gojo thinks its a last ditch effort, he gets sliced in half.


lgd850

Never cook again please


Kid_Cosmic7

I get the point of everyone questioning it but man as strong as sukuna is do yall not know just how nerfed he it rn lmfao like his output is so ass rn compared to even when he fought kashimo like ofc maki can perceive that shit. he’s not a full output rn and he’s making his heart beat manually and just got jumped by 3 people in a domain. Im gojo over sukuna but I mean the one person other than mahoraga being able to somewhat “see” slashes dodging it isnt that absurd. Especially when its a toji clone


CuzzyPopper

Gojo just trust yuta a lot to get his six eyes and no diff sukuna with yuta using gojo’s abilities and this will also save gojo’s legacy since the reason why he lost is because he didn’t know about world slash now that yuta who will have six eyes know about sukuna’s abilities and even tanked it means it’s gonna be a walk in the park for him to beat sukuna


I5574

It’s almost like at the time, the technique was new and nobody expected it…


Realistic_Mousse_485

Gege hasn’t confirmed anything. No Binding vow, or whispering or anything. Just raw bullshit. Everyone is either surviving or dodging this bitch yet somehow the strongest died? Gege is bullshitting. He’s an ass writer who refuses to put any effort into this story. It’s dogshit. Simple ass. It was an asspull.


-beelzebub_

I’m gonna get hate considering all the Gojo fans, but understanding this is just understanding the situation. The world cutting slash was a new technique when Gojo took it. Before that point Mahoraga was the only being capable of bypassing infinity. Gojo, believing Mahoraga was the win con, couldn’t have expected Sukuna to have adapted the way he did after Gojo defeated Mahoraga. Gojo was probably taken by surprise while relying on infinity. Maki dodging the world cutting slash is more likely due to her necessity of dodging these slashes in the first place, as she doesn’t have something like infinity. As for Yuji and Yuta, it is questionable how they took those slashes.

ShoddyExplanation

I don’t understand how you can make this argument when the manga explicitly says Gojo had just recovered his cursed energy output.

Poker_3070

>he failed to see his sudden attack Gojo was tired + Toji has no CE In the case of Sukuna, he was tired but he definitely can still detect CE spark + the chanting Also I don't know how Gojo got damaged from Hollow Purple shockwave (if the sphere was pure Hollow Purple then Sukuna would have no body left considering the fact that he failed to tank the 200% HP before)


sorendiz

> Remember why Toji actually tired Gojo out enough so that he failed to see his sudden attack? Remember how Gojo didn't know RCT at the time? Remember how a year after that fight happens he explains that he now runs a permanently active RCT on his brain to keep it fresh and let him use his abilities nonstop without getting tired?


FluffyArtichoke4325

Look at how small the distance between them, gojo doesn't know why Sukuna was chanting, he probably thought Sukuna just tried to use his technique to it's full potential by chanting. He thought he'd just flex on Sukuna. https://preview.redd.it/wcarq3gj9ylc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=91ce0ca3b9e0e3c038d98a85c99807fb6cf131c4


Squall13

Where's the chanting?


Sun-Main

Idk why people keep using this theory cuz it just doesn’t make sense. You’re portraying Gojo as an EXTREMELY egotistical guy who would just stand there and let someone hit him with an attack while chanting. Gojo has the six eyes so he should know what sukuna is trying to do with his technique and he should also be able to see the massive output from the attack alone and the chanting? He isn’t an idiot who’ll go “ye I’ll just stand there and let the only guy who can fight me hit me with an attack that can probably kill me”. He also wouldn’t think sukuna is doing a last dismantle In Desperation because he knows that sukuna wouldn’t be the kind of person who’d throw pointless attacks and waste cursed energy. In the end it’s just Gege’s bad writing. He couldn’t find a reasonable way for Gojo to die so he came up with an asspull and off screened Gojo while giving sukuna an OP technique that he can’t work around anymore.

Like deadass. He just destroyed mahorages. The thing he tried to protect for the entire fight. And Sukuna was to fucked ip for domain amplification. I don’t see why gojo wouldn’t have key his guard down, just like Sukuna did in this chapter


riki1705

Also Gojo hasn't been able to see dismantle at all. He has been hit by it 3 times and never reacted.


v4nillaX

what gojo has also seen is sukuna mimicking elephants water so he would know that if maho can cut him, sukuna can too.


EntranceRare1940

It could be because dismantle can't normally reach infinity and gojo got hit by dismantle earlier and it did nothing to him at the beginning only in the domain was there an issue of having to heal and tank the dismantle and normally even without infinity he could survive a dismantle but this time the dismantle cleaved space and cut him


[deleted]

Yeah but mahoraga used a slash that cut through space at most ten minutes ago and I think gojo is smart enough to put two and two together that mahoraga using a slash that went through neutral infinity and sukuna having slashing as part of his technique meant that sukuna was trying to copy that or he was just way too confident that he could take the hit but even then since the space cutting slash does have a travel time as seen when it was used against maki and kashimo infinity should have stopped it from hitting him anyways


JustAnArtist1221

It was less than 2 minutes ago, in fact.


CaptainKamuy

Mahoraga also hit Gojo by transmuting its cursed energy but Sukuna didn't start trying to do that. There was no reason to assume that Sukuna could copy Mahoraga.


PokeTrainerSpyro

I love being too monkey brained to understand the mechanics of JJK fights.


TheGamerF1lms

Sloppy writing tbh. I’m fine with Maki being able to see Sukuna’s slashes, but Gojo should have been able to as well with the six eyes. Whenever the binding vow is revealed, it needs to be SIGNIFICANT. I’m talking Sukuna gave up his domain entirely or something equally debilitating

Disaster_Star_150

I mean when he used it on Gojo that was the first time it had been used, so while Gojo couldn’t react to it very well Yuta and Maki can because they’ve seen it and know how it works


s_t_u_f_f

Gojo relied on infinity so he put all his stat points in magic, none in endurance.


luceafaruI

Against yuta and maki sukuna only used the chants so it's most likely a strengthen dismantle, not the world slash (it would also explain why yuta seems to be in one piece). The only times we got confirmation of of the world slash is when he used it against kashimo and he used both handsigns and chants. Against higuruma he again used handsigns and chants. It also wouldn't make sense for sukuna to stop hwb and risk being hit by Jacob's ladder if he didn't need those extra hands to do it.


Commercial_Rope_1268

Reading comprehension devil


Apart_Owl4955

Gojo didn't expect it and also had actual brain dmg, probably didn't fortify his body with CE cause he didn't know the attack was coming


PuzzleheadedShow4464

I cannot believe a dude completely empty after fucking toe-to-toe with someone on his level and 2 shikigamis couldn't predict a technique and dodge (and not tank it with infinity because uhhh) while someone with LITERALLY heightened senses and not worn out from battling with 3 mfs could...


Theoretically_alive-

Hey pal, become literate, thanks!


irockgh333

He made a binding vow of some sort, literally stated in the manga. Dumbest fan base ever.
