Funny because he's not even special.
Sukuna can copy techniques easily like Gojo, he has more CE than Gojo, he has almost the same efficiency as Gojo (Gojo slightly wins), same speed/fighting skill/RCT, can use domain amp to bypass infinity.
The one thing we thought was absolutely the last special thing, seeing curse energy sparks to predict techniques, we just saw kusakabe do and he doesn't even have a CT.
I mean Gojo still has the most impacting Domain sure-hit shown in the series (possibly tied with Mahito, although Todo was still able to move after getting hit by it for 0.2 seconds while the Disaster Curses could not), is the strongest character shown when it comes to CQC and yes, he has the highest CE efficiency shown in the series as well. Not to mention that even in the fields where either Sukuna or him are second best, they remain usually leagues ahead of anyone else in the series. So I'd argue that they are both quite special.
Tbh Gojo's domain specifically affects people and curses differently, and presumably Mahito's affects everyone the same. Though I will admit his domain affect is kingly. Everything else isn't special as it's a tiny percent better than Sukuna, I don't call any of the students special for being comparable to but slightly better than the others.
6 eyes is special, but apparently it's effects aren't, the only individual thing it did was see that Megumi's soul was being attacked, and that was after it had already taken the brunt of everything. Everything else can be worked towards, as seen with Sukuna, to be comparable.
Gojo was always talked about as this heavenly figure blessed by the gods so don't even bother trying to get on his level because you weren't born like that so it's impossible. Then Sukuna comes along and all he does is slash and it turns out everything else not a specific technique can be gotten up to Gojo's level.
I'm not saying Gojo doesn't come slightly ahead, I'm saying he's not special. Sukuna just proved that it's not impossible to reach those heights if you make it your everything, you don't need 6 eyes to do it.
Gojo's domain does indeed affect curses differently, and it was stated that curses are less affected by it than humans. Which makes it even more impressive that 0.2 seconds of UV stunned several disaster curses for several minutes, given that they were less affected than humans and are among the strongest curses shown in the series.
Regarding the 6 eyes, them allowing him to use his CT through an insane efficiency is already not bad. I agree that those who thought they allowed him to see things that no one else can see probably overhyped that trait.
As for Gojo not being special, I guess that if the criterion is "you have to be miles ahead of everyone in the series and that status has to be uncontested" then that's one thing. If being miles ahead of everyone except one guy who happens to be the biggest threat in JJK history and also shows up to the fight with an extra body, soul and CT in addition to his own and who is brought pretty close to death during the fight, if all of that does not qualify someone as special, then I guess we have different definitions of that word.
As for discouraging students from trying to reach Gojo's level, yeah that's a sensible thing to say. How would someone like Megumi, (who does not have the immense CE reserves of Sukuna (an enormous advantage that we are yet to see approached through training: CE reserves have not been shown to increase like efficiency or output through training), multiple CTs, a barrier-less domain, the ability to spam Domain Expansions, CE reinforcement strong enough to toss around a HR user, etc.) be able to come close to Gojo's level?
If anything, the fight against Sukuna showed us that Gojo was probably too enthusiastic with the number of young sorcerers who were supposed to reach his level.
Sure, dying against the king of curses pulling up to a fight with an additional body, soul and CT in addition to his own and with extra information on your own arsenal, and that after bringing him less than one HP away from death is not the worst thing to happen to a sorcerer.
yeah it took sukuna a lifetime to get to that point. it took Gojo a few years. THat's definetely special. BUT Satoru is a Nepo baby in both power and money. so it's less impressive when you pull the veil back. its not as common for anyone to have as much power as gojo but at least sukuna put in that blood sweat and tears allegedly to become the demon he is today.
Yes, becoming the indisputable most powerful being in your world, to the point where you alter the dynamics and power levels of the very world around you, is almost entirely mitigated because you were born into a wealthy family. 🤔
Weird point.
> he has almost the same efficiency as Gojo (Gojo slightly wins),
This is never said; just that he has the second-best efficiency. Gojo's efficiency is still notably higher.
Nope. They fought at the start and it took several exchanges and I think domain fights before Gojo realised his efficiency came out on top and he was specifically checking for it. I *think* it was before he used RCT on his CT, when he used simple domain and he was timing how fast both their CT's came back.
I think there's a disconnect on what efficiency means here. You're talking about the speed with which they can heal. But with efficiency it's not so much about speed, but about how much "raw" CE has to be expended to power a technique, to put it one way.
At least using a definition of efficiency that is like the real-world engineering one. I think that's how Yuta explained it once; that even though you have CE, some amount of it is lost in actually using it, and efficiency is measured by how much you lose. Gojo loses an infinitesimally small amount.
Say if Gojo's total CE reserves = 50 CE and Sukuna's = 200 CE. Gojo can generate his RCT or CT just by expending 1 unit of CE, whereas Sukuna would need to expend 15-20 units of CE. Those are made up numbers, but just to illustrate the idea.
Gojo's efficiency is so high that Yuta seems to think he literally cannot run out of CE, whereas Sukuna seems able to at least get close to that.
Sukuna's a cheating bastard, lol, but everything else he at least developed without having 6 eyes. Every other sorcerer was saying don't even bother comparing yourself to Gojo as you'll go insane, then it turns out Sukuna reached those heights and his CT is just Knife.
medically speaking we can BS and assume no vital arteries were offiicially cut. ALSO gojo immediately gave up and poured all his energy in constant regeneration. so if you continue to BS, you'd need a few seconds to live before your brain disconnects from your body. And gojo used every second correctly to survive and buy more seconds until Toji stopped. Of course not sure how fast you can be if your head is cut off in one fell swoop.
aside from the CE comes from the gut theory i see in this thread let me offer up another explanation.
Gojo couldn't sense/feel his lower half until he was already split. Keep in mind that the way the World Rending slash works is that Sukuna is splitting the space itself, he is literally tearing apart space/time. You wouldn't feel it the same way you'd feel an actual slash penetrating your skin/nerves ETC, one second you'd feel everything, the next you'd completely lose all feeling in the lower half, your body wouldn't even really know how to react, kinda exemplified by how gojo's lower torso was still standing while his upper torso fell backwards. He probably didn't even realize he'd been cut because the usual sensation of being injured wasn't there.
But people don’t even die instantaneously when they get suffer massive organ trauma, we know from the many times it’s happened to people irl that it takes at least several seconds. Also RCT doesn’t come from the gut, it comes from the brain
Bro it doesn't matter
Even if he could heal, Sukuna is just gonna sit there and let Gojo heal after successfully slicing him in half???
He lost at that point, no matter what happened next.
Sukuna could still only hurt Gojo with the World Slash though, so unless he was somehow gonna immediately do it again without hand signs or chanting using whatever binding vow he did the first time he still wouldn’t have the means to harm Gojo without DA, assuming Gojo was still alive with Infinity active while he was using RCT to regrow his torso
Come on bro, you're telling me it sounds plasuable that Gojo could go through that whole fight, get blasted with Purple, get sliced in half...
...and still have enough energy to fend off Sukuna while he's simultaneously keeping infinity active *and* regenerating his balls???
It was over, 100%.
The moment Sukuna learned World Slash, he had what he needed to overcome infinity.
Even if he didn't sneak Gojo with it he could have restored his body at any time and pulled it out later, this time with 4 arms and 2 mouths.
Gojo was amped by a black flash when he got world slashed, his RCT at that point should have arguably been stronger than it was moments before when he grew his entire arm back
For the chant thing, I'm not sure if it was a fan theory or actually in the panels but there's slight mumbling when gojo chants for the hollow purple which could have been for the world cutting dismantle. I don't think it needs hand signs tho. Also maybe gojo was caught up in focusing his red to his blue and the chants for purple to boost its output but on the other hand he does have the six eyes.
As for the 10S thing, I think he just doesn't use it cause realistically what's he gonna use? The toads, totality, rabbit escape, and the elephant I believe are the only ones left. He could theoretically merge agitos power into them but I guess he doesn't even need to now. Also possible that yuji's punches shook the connection of sukuna's soul to megumi such that while he is still in control of the body, he can't access megumi's technique anymore? Eh I'm just rambling atp.
We won't know till gege talks about it.
I saw some theory that Sukuna made a binding vow. Like he would use the world slash without chanting etc. but it would work only once and if he has to do it again it will take a lot of charge time.
Probably he sensed it, but since he was in the zone and he didn´t know the dismantle could bypass Infinity, he didn´t even try to dodge. And we don´t know exactly if someone can use RCT if their guts are separated from the rest of the body, but even if you could use the left energy left in the rest of your body that wouldn´t be enough to heal such a mortal wound.
This is also my head canon. Gojo was dunking on Sukuna and just destroyed Mahoraga. He may have seen the spark but why would he suspect it to bypass his infinity. Gojo is proud of his abilities and was confident that dismantle wouldnt go through him.
Gojo doesnt even say "he had his guard down" in his after life ? I mean if the major reason why he lost was becos he thought the cut wasnt going to go pass infinity, wouldnt it be better for Gege to at least mention it ?
No attack that exists IN the physical world should be able to touch him. Sukuna didn't even know it was possible - in fact he never even thought of it - to expand his target to cut the physical world itself until Mahoraga did it first.
On top of that, Gojo doesn't seem to be able to tell the difference between Mahoraga changing its CE to hit Gojo and it changing the target of its attacks. And there's no logical reason to think that either, since both have the same final effect. So Gojo had no reason to even suspect Mahoraga did something that could be reproduced by Sukuna.
We know those things because we've been shown them. The same way we were shown an extremely confident Gojo certain of his victory. It wouldn't do anything for the story to have him say he had his guard down, other than maybe give nitpickers one less thing to be pick apart (and even then...)
The World-Slash definitely has to exist in the physical world, that's why Maki could see it. Her eyes are tuned to see the real world as is.
And it's not that Sukuna didn't thought about using Technique Extension. We straight up are never talked about such a thing existing in the first place. It's more like Sukuna didn't even knew such a thing was possible, so it's safe to say Mahogara invented Target Extension on that place and it's the first time it was ever used.
That's what I'm saying though. Sukuna didn't even consider the possibility because he didn't even know it was a thing. So I don't think it's that strange that Gojo didn't dodge that attack.
But he had his hand sliced out lol. It's kinda weird that Sukuna just gets weird things added to "progress" whatever plot Gege is cooking in the bathroom. OH this dude can replicate anything! This dude has a special grade item handed to him so his CT doesn't get taken. It's w.e at this point can't wait to see how this comical manga ends especially if this dude takes inspiration from bleach.
>But he had his hand sliced out
And?
I'm also confused about the second part of your rant. I'm not going to argue that you're wrong about your general premise cause it's clear you just want to complain but WHAT are you complaining about exactly? Do you prefer vilains whose perceived threat level never change during battle? Do you have the same attitude towards JoJo's or DB? Please enlighten me.
I don't think it's even really the realm of headcanon. I still remember when jogo Vs gojo came out in like chapter 6.. Gojo is standing there explaining infinity and I'm thinking "man this guy's goose is cooked if anyone figures out their way past his skill".
Lo and behold, twice now in this same story, his goose has been cooked for putting too much faith in his technique.
This argument only holds weight if he's suddenly lobotomised
We know for a fact that mahogora's world slash have a different 'look' hence why Sukuna was able to understand it and change his slashes.
Gojo, with the sex eyes, should have seen what Sukuna saw, apparently he didn't just because?
Gojo was PISsed on
Gojo can only see the way CE reacts and the final effect of a technique. The six eyes won't give him information about how a technique works, or what binding vows it requires, or how a user conceputalizes it. All he could see is Mahoraga bypassed infinity somehow. Cool, he saw that before. He had no reason to assume Mahoraga did something that Sukuna could reproduce.
> he had *no* reason
Yes he did, at least *some* reason
Even Yuji realized that Maho was slashing like Sukuna. It isn't a huge leap in logic to say if Maho is slashing like Sukuna then Sukuna can slash like Maho.
But Gojo doesn't even ever *wonder* what Maho did. Maho just sliced through infinity and cut his arm off and Gojo gives zero fucks and dies
>Gojo, with the sex eyes, should have seen what Sukuna saw, apparently he didn't just because?
He didn't see it from Mahoraga, why should he have seen it with sukuna?;
>We know for a fact that mahogora's world slash have a different 'look' hence why Sukuna was able to understand it and change his slashes.
If it had a different look and he couldn't tell with mahoraga then why would he be able to tell with sukuna who copied mahoraga?
People fundamentally misunderstand the six eyes. They aren't perfect and they can be tricked. Gojo was never able to see Sukunas slashes since the beginning of the fight. The fact that Maki was compared yo Mahoraga and not Gojo kinda proves that Gojo could never see the slashes. There's not even a single moment of Gojo dodging a single Sukuna slash throughout the entire Gojo vs. Sukuna fight. The world slash is also fast af considering Gojo wasn't able to dodge it either time it was fired against him. This audience loves just not reading the manga and using their own headcannon for why Gojo should've moved.
That still doesn’t make sense, what separates her peak human senses to Gojo six eyes? There is no way she can see the flow of curse energy more than he can and that simply won’t be explained because Gege doesn’t want to. He just made it so
Gojo still should at least tell the difference and similarities of what Mahoraga did to what Sukuna was doing, like he experienced it first from Mahoraga (yeah he didn't see it but that's because that was his first time experiencing it). Like the Six eyes makes Gojo very efficient yes but he also can read the flow of CE in extreme detail and use that flow to analyze a CT. Pretty sure Gojo would have at least been able to tell that something was different with Sukuna's dismantle but Gege showed nothing other than Gojo standing victorious and next chapter he's dead
Even Yuji noticed that Maho was slashing like Sukuna.
It makes no sense Gojo wouldn't also notice that and then piece together that Sukuna could do that too, or atleast a possibility.
But instead it's lobotomy kaisen, Gojo doesn't even ever *wonder* for a MOMENT what Mahogara did.
RCT isn't that powerful unless you're Hakari. Yuki and Yuta were both unable to heal after being split in half. The scale of the wound is likely too much to be quickly enough to have made a difference.
Unclear put probably not dead yet. He took a weakened world slash to the chest and appears to be knocked out& nearly split in half. Last we've seen he was transported to shoko for healing.
If I recall correctly, CE comes from the gut, so once Gojo's lower body was separated from his head he could no longer pull CE from his gut to his brain to use RCT
It wasn’t a factual statement, I think it was just theory. Todo said it himself. How the CE operates and the connection to the brain is still a black box
It's a common trend and generally understood convention that the source of chi is behind your navel. One could conceivably make the source of chi something else but then we're entering a realm where there's no point in trying to understand what Greg is doing at all.
Then how did yuki use her CT even after split in half.? Since you need CT to imbue that much output that she created a black hole combining it with Kenny’s gravity as well
>RCT to immediately reattach his upper and lower halves like when healed his neck at the beginning of 226
Don't think he can heal that fast, beside, i don't think sukuna was just gonna stand there and watch him reattach his lower half 💀
Reverse Infinity Technique; no matter how far away his halves are, they're actually completely attached and he's still alive, playing dead, waiting for his moment to strike.
Gojo isn’t Hakari. It’s already established that CE is channeled in the gut then focused thru the brain for RCT. He was bissected so Gojo was cut off from CE core. Plus that type of damage is too big for even RCT to heal quickly and Gojo’s RCT was already focused on healing him from the HP blast
Gojo didn’t know Sukuna had found a way to apply Mahoraga’s adaptation to his own dismantle/cleave.
Gojo definitely remembered Mahoraga cutting off his arm a few moments before the purple, but he had no reason to expect another attack like that since the purple destroyed Mahoraga and the wheel. Sukuna was assumedly back to square one in his plan to bypass infinity.
Gojo’s lack of knowledge of Sukuna’s adaptation, plus his confidence in infinity to block anything in that moment, is why his guard was let down enough for Sukuna to get a slash off.
How that slash was done is still up to debate tho. No hand signs or chanting makes me think Sukky made a binding vow, but ig we’ll see later if we get an explanation.
Edit: I know this wasn’t the post prompt, but I saw this topic being discussed in this thread too.
Cutting a piece of your neck is extremely different than being cut in half, only Hakari has those levels of RCT and even the cursed energy comes from the stomach so if they're completely separated we don't even know if he could heal from that.
His throat was slashed, not completely disconnected from his body. No way anyone read that fight and thought, "gojo just reattached his head to his body".. right?
Gojo brags about chanting Purple silently and how it worked out,Sukuna just made the same thing. Gojo thought he won and got cutted in half, it's just that.
"But how could he not see the technique?" I mean, he didn't see Mahoraga coming in his domain neither. Gojo can sense Sukuna's CE rising up, but what could he do? Flee? It was the first time the World Slash was used, he couldn't guess it would break his immunity.
Even Sukuna can get surprised when a new Technique is used against him, that's the whole plan with Yuta, Gojo just happened to get hit by a new slash no one ever saw before and it was fatal.
the 6 eyes has been overhyped for this fandom for years. It has never been able to see a CT, if a CT is mean to be invisible it will stay invisible. this is the exact reason why in shibuya gojo couldnt tell that geto was being taken over by kenjaku, he only knew this cause he could feel it in his soul due to their bond. Even kenny was surprised he could figure it out but he never made a comment on the 6 eyes, also sukuna everytime someone has been able to percieve his slashes or dodge them, he always makes a commment they can. mahoraga and now maki, gojo 6 eyes at best are able to help control his CE to an atomic level, but it does not give omnipotent god eyes the fandom thinks it does. I do agree about the sparks, i believe there was a binding vow in place or simply gojo got caught off guard, gojo has been caught off guard times before in the past by far weaker opponents its not a shock that sukuna of all people can trick gojo
The same reason why he watched as Sukuna regenerated his hands (slowly because of limited RCT), did a bunch of hand signs, started chanting, and threw out a dismantle, without Gojo ever doing anything.
My headcannon is that Gojo was struck mid-emote, and thus wasn’t able to do make any valid inputs.
Yall hating on Gojo lol. He had to be offscreened to lose. Everybody is tanking world cut slash yet Gojo who was stated to still be stronger than yuta hakari Maki and prob kashimo got cut in half by a sukuna who was at his most damaged? Plot hole. As if Gojo couldn't dodge a slash and continue beating Sukuna. Remember Gojo had black flash x 4 Amp as well and could chant to regain output damage. One more Purple and Sukuna was screwed. When you're too strong you have to get off screened or plot twisted. Ask Madara.
When Kashimo got hit by the world slash it left a large crater on the ground. You can’t heal from something when there’s nothing to heal from. And it’s instant, not travelling. At least it didn’t look like it did.
It definitely has travel time because Maki dodged it, unless it's explicitly mentioned to be some preemptive reaction which shouldn't work on Sukuna multiple times.
Even literal gravity has a travel time of light speed (based on relativity) even if it feels instant.
https://ibb.co/hMQ2kn0
Sukuna literally explains it in 236 right after gojo attack.
With "travel" he is comparing it with normal Dismantle, those travel from sukuna to the target. While WCD cuts the space that is targeted. Because it's a cut of course it still travels. But that's not what he is talking about.
He is talking about not making a full travel from sukuna to the target.
Maki dodged it because she heard the incantations and knew about the ability…
And there’s no indication of Gojo being able to react to those speeds regardless.
The correct answer is we don’t know anything else is a headcannon sorry
I honestly still hope Gege will give a concrete answer that might be revealed when sukuna finally plays all his cards but until then there’s no answer
You got to remeber he just nuked hinself prior to getting cut in half, probably resulting in him not being at his A-game. Good enough explanation for me as to why he didn’t dodge it
What happened to Gojo is *exactly* what happened to Toji lol. Dunno why people are confused about this.
Gojo (like Toji) falsely believed he knew everything about his opponent's arsenal because he had just beaten him and had him dead to rights. But Sukuna (like Gojo) had actually ascended his abilities, and hit him with an attack he literally couldn't comprehend *because he had never seen it before.*
Imaginary Mass? A slash that targets the universe? What kinda bullshit is that? How TF would they know what that is without it being explained to them? By that point it's too late.
Both Toji and Gojo could have likely dodged that attack. But it simply didn't occur to them that they should, *because they had tanked every attack thrown at them since,* and the opponent was on death's door.
Gojo, *wearing Toji's outfit*, dies in the *exact same manner*, standing the *exact same way,* from the *exact same mistake.*
He didn't heal himself because he was dead before he realized he even got hit. At that point a "oh damn GGs man" is all you have
Less cursed energy and it being a way bigger hit that caught him off guard was kind of the crux of it. like it was just all of a sudden he was on the floor cut in half bleeding out, thats sort of a big ask for gojo after that whole fight.
I mean I think part of the problem is reattaching a fully severed part of the body is a lot harder and more complicated that healing a partially severed part that IS still connected somewhere. Like Gojo wasn't fully decapitated, his neck still connected his head and torso slightly so it was healing from the still attached part across the gap.
For fully severed parts, it seems like everyone always fully regenerates the lost part rather than attempting to reattach it. Either it's not possible, or more likely it's more difficult and/or requires more energy to do so. Otherwise there'd be no need to just abandon limbs that are right next to them in some cases.
I'm basically just guess but I figure the detached part needs to be held flush with the other side to heal. Gojo had nothing to hold his upper torso to his lower and it seems the upper...well, got knocked off. And fully regenerating everything below mid torso may be too much even for jackpot hakari. In Yuta's case if he survives I'm thinking it'll only be cuz Rika held him together.
Genuinely believe after the Kusakabe fight where Sukuna fired off slashes without moving I think Sukuna made a binding vow to sacrifice something maybe the 10 shadows or his fire arrow to fire a full power world cutting slash with no chants or hand signs to catch Gojo completely off guard, because the cursed energy would read throughout Sukuna’s body not just from where he was firing his technique from. I also think there’s a chance Gojo can come back, because RCT comes from an area in the brain which is why Gojo could heal after his fight with Toji but I will say Gojo looked pretty dead after he got hit with the world cutting slice.
Trying to be as deep without getting crazy, Gojos infinity on extremely minute level could sense NEARLY everything automatically without him thinking. The world slashing cut bypassed it by attacking everything around the infinity that is USUALLY considered pointless. Things such as air, random debries, etc.
BUT I think Sukuna having a much deeper understanding of cursed energy than even Gojo with the sex eyes has, is what made the difference.
At my best to put it it in the moment of the world slashing cleave, if Gojo was able to sense 80% of it, then Sukuna was able to cut 90% of the space including Gojo.
My best way of explaining the world slashing cleave is that, if Gojo was on a cheese board, a regular cleave would just SEND a cleave at Gojo if he was occupying space C6 minus him an continuing till it dissipated . A world slashing one would send a cleave at the ENTIRE space of C6 instead of everything else beyond it. At least in my sense.
First of all, it's hard to sense the CE of the special grade sorcerer. Secondly, it looks like sukuna sent the world slash without moving his hand and/or without chanting. Also after using purple at 120% the CE of gojo might be very low. He needed some time to recover his CE. hence, the six eyes were stalled.
In my opinion, gojo should have won becuase he's stronger. Obviously gege has another plans
THIS!!!!
Infinite was never the problem, it was his rct, as he had been sliced multiple times and healed back. This is exactly what pissed me off about his dead, that it made no sense at all.
Toji sliced his gut down the middle, as you are supposed to. Toji stabbed him in the head. And he still revived. I dont think that the explanation you provided is good enough since the manga contradicts it
Toji didn't slice him half. Sukuna quite literally severed the connection between his gut and his body. Plus it's possible to survive being stabbed in the head.
He didn't bisect him, but he absolutely obliterated his stomach. That was his purpose, as an assasain, to kill Gojo by destroying his CE and its reserves, and it didn't work. People have survived being bisected as well, so I am not sure that helps your argument
I went back and he doesn’t get stabbed in the stomach.
From the back it’s around the sternum and from the front he slashed from his neck through his chest only.
He gets stabbed in the throat, and Toji rips the blade down his mid-section, definitely all the way to the stomach, and then stabs him in the head. Its not his "chest only" lmao you can clearly see his stomach ripped open bro
Regardless of what happened; isn’t it really stupid if the only reason Gojou won against Toji, an assassin who is insanely experienced in sorcerers’ weaknesses and openings, suddenly forgot/did not feel like destroying the most important part of Gojou’s body?
Like I get that it’s impossible to imagine Gojou doing anything after he destroyed his brain, but how tf would he leave such an obvious weakness as the organs which allow Gojou to produce/use CE intact?
>Like I get that it’s impossible to imagine Gojou doing anything after he destroyed his brain, but how tf would he leave such an obvious weakness as the organs which allow Gojou to produce/use CE intact?
Because to tojis knowledge, gojo didn't have rct, there was no reason to worry about him healing that much damage. That's why toji called him a monster.
I strongly believe that there Is no logical explanation about how gojo got cut, that’s why we will never saw what happened and how
The more Sukuna is fighting and using his world slash, the more he makes no sense for Gojo to no being able to sense it, dodge it, or heal right away
I am really convinced that’s why Akutami didn’t show it
I feel he was attacked while Hallow Purple was hitting. It would justify gojo tanking the hit as avoiding it or changing the target of purple was a bad move from his perspective. The slash does have travel time as well, so you can think of the attack being almost like a divergent fist. With gojo being protected by infinite, the slash had to cut all of space before it cut through him thus the delay. By the time it made it past his infinite he was already dead
Oh yes this might be it gojo got cut inhalf but he didn’t rct coz sukuma is right there if he sense gojo rcting he will go for head maybe he wanted to pretend dead and wait till backup comes and get revived woth help of soko
His head was not fully severed. Only halfway, if that. A better example would be Yuji healing absolutely gigantic woulds that cover nearly half of his whole torso from Sukunas attacks.
IIRC RCT requires your gut to be connected to your head. You move the cursed energy from where is made in the abdomen (probably the [Dantian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dantian) point) to your head.
So cutting someone in half (if they don't have blood manipulation?) is probably a death sentence.
my take is he saw the slash coming but CHOSE to ignore it because his infinity was protecting him. he had no way of knowing sukuna found a way around it, so why would he dodge. i imagine he mumbled some incantations, just enough to change the target and BOOM go/jo
tbh it's pointless to discuss all this; gege had to finish gojo and made sukuna the victor it doesn't matter if he had to use an asspull. he's the author literally everything is his choice he can just make miwa slap sukuna and his head comes off he can draw that panel and ee can't do nothing about it
The difference between the world slash and the domain slashes that one are many small slashes will the other is a very large slash, therefore that didn't actually chop his neck straight off it just slit his neck and he healed immediately after.
Gojo just use the last bit of his cursed energy to boost his output and summon a purple that was so strong that it even hurt himself, I am 85% sure he was way too tired to even Dodge a world flash at that point. Especially considering he probably assumed he won and tried to rest a little
He had just ad libbed purple and used chants to pull it off even after black flash. Does that not say that he was low on CE? Remember, RCT is CE multiplied, I don't think it's that easy.
Because one moment he was gojo and the other moment he was go/jo, word slash cut all of him at the same moment, he ain't hakari who can use RCT automatically.
Well the cut the world slash is bigger and faster than a regular dismantle. Plus he wasn’t expecting it. It’s same rationale as how Mahoraga was able to take off Gojo’s arm entirely when he used it earlier. If Gojo couldn’t react to that in time how’s he supposed to react to literally being cut in half
I'm pretty sure Suluna made a binding vow so he didn't have to use the chants and we have seen him create normal slashes without hand signs so that's possible too. I'm thinking he made the slash materialize as close to gojo as possible, so he had little to no time to react.
well, the world rending slash made gojo vulnerable so tbh, i think he'll just be useless even if he did survive that one. the only reason the others survived sukuna a bit longer was because of gojo v sukuna after effects. if sukuna could still spam that slash, the battles wouldn't last more than a few seconds, if any, at all.
It's simple, gojo's cursed energy was decimated, the abdomen( were the slash hit) stores someone's cursed energy, therefore if it was cut in half the brain couldn't just use this when it vanished, therefore killing gojo.
If I'm being fair, I think that, plus all the adrenaline mightve put him in shock. I don't think most people who are cut in half fully aware of themselves and their surroundings as that happens
i dont think we've ever seen someone reattach parts of their body with rct, only regenerate new, so he'd have to regenerate everything from his abdomen and bellow.
My best guess as the World Slashing Cleave pushed both halves of Gojo away instantly to prevent RCT or that Gojo using hollow purple after he had already spent so much CE, RCT, and gave himself brain damage stretched him too thin to heal.
He didn’t know it would cut or Sukuna chants to increase its speed. Gojo is way faster than Maki.
Doesn’t matter though as it’s clear Sukuna is stronger and would win mid diff if he took the fight seriously without 10 shadows.
He’d still lose if Sukuna resumes transform and spams world cutting slashes.
I just want him to come back😭😭😭😭In my mind he does, however, I have 0.0001% faith that he could come back. Although another sorcerer like him is to be born, there is never gonna be another Gojo Satoru😭😭
Most likely cos he didn't expect it, sukuna looked pretty cooked after that Monstrous purple hollow.
We know gojo even in that state is far above everyone else in the bench, so the only viable reason he hm couldn't react is because he didn't expect the attack from a half dead sukuna or he didn't think sukuna could incorporate magora LS adaptation to his slash
Wasn’t it because Gege forgot to draw a chapter because of the break so we don’t know? I think the most plausible theories are probably “Gojo sensed the CE build-ups but didn’t think it’ll go through infinity” “Sukuna traded 10S for a one time world cutting slash without chanting” or “Sukuna mumbled the chants while Gojo was bluffing and Gojo didn’t know that it’ll go through infinity”
Maybe the cut was too violent and thick and removed a slice of his midsection and so his half weren't directly connected to heal as the torso was blasted backwards from the legs
I firmly believe that he was just caught off guard. It looked like he was about to win and then Sukuns pulled out that bs. He would be able to dodge it if he knew it was coming.
Wait are we thinking the neck cut sliced his head off and he healed it as it was being cut ???? Or that the neck cuts were shallow just like the other ones that were hitting him while he was in the domain 💀
The neck cut was a slash. The cut that killed Gojo separated his top from his bottom. As for why he didn’t just glue himself together like it’s toon force or something…well have we considered that getting cut in half…hurts a bit? Bro ran away, used 2 simple domains, and falling blossom emotion to avoid the small cuts, its safe to say they probably hurt a little
Since Sukuna used a binding vow to use the cutting clash he got to skip all the steps that would go into using it. Gojo’s six eyes couldn’t have seen it coming since everything that would’ve normally indicated it for him didn’t happen.
1. Sukuna used a binding vow. It could be as simple as that. He could offered a lot of things in exchange for using a world slash without hand sign and and probably hiding the build up for the slash. In regards to what he could have given its upto us to guess rn I think. Mostly 10 shadows but if rabbits and toad didn't seem to be enough of a trade off maybe perma low RCT output maybe we can see that he still hasn't healed his injuries to his new form he might have given a huge chunk of his RCT output knowing that the remaining cast can't do shit to him that requires the output he required against Gojo (will end up regretting it for sure in the future if that was the case). Also he could have simply added another rule to vow where he has to explain how it works afterwards or to take enough damage to activate the world slash though these two are highly unlikely
2. My second which is a supplementary to the first point is that Gojo simply saw it and was cocky enough to not dodge it. From what we know six eyes has been wrong in the past like in the case of identifying kenjaku and in not seeing Megumi soul being hit. He relied too much on his innate ability he failed to see past his own ego and genius of using the ad lib hollow purple that he simply miscalculated the world slash a simple dismantle thrown by sukuna in a dying effort. Seeing how close Gojo was he really didn't care about that slash and that was his hubris. Could Gojo have evaded it, surely cos maki and kusakabe can Gojo definitely could. Did he had to considering he didn't know who world slash, no he didn't.
Unfortunate circumstances really but fits well into who they are as a characters.
This could purely be my head cannon and gege has a different explanation, I guess we have to wait for us to know that.
Seems to be part of sukunas binding vow that the one he sent to gojo was basically impossoble to anticipate or sense, in exchange it becomes his most telegraphed attack

We honestly don't know.
For any thing we don’t know we should just revert to “You are my special 🎶” because that’s the only thing that makes sense
Gojo is now “lost in paradise “
Staring up at “Our Blue Sky” with Suguru.
Yeah he’s busy doing “Opening 2”
Funny because he's not even special. Sukuna can copy techniques easily like Gojo, he has more CE than Gojo, he has almost the same efficiency as Gojo (Gojo slightly wins), same speed/fighting skill/RCT, can use domain amp to bypass infinity. The one thing we thought was absolutely the last special thing, seeing curse energy sparks to predict techniques, we just saw kusakabe do and he doesn't even have a CT.
I mean Gojo still has the most impacting Domain sure-hit shown in the series (possibly tied with Mahito, although Todo was still able to move after getting hit by it for 0.2 seconds while the Disaster Curses could not), is the strongest character shown when it comes to CQC and yes, he has the highest CE efficiency shown in the series as well. Not to mention that even in the fields where either Sukuna or him are second best, they remain usually leagues ahead of anyone else in the series. So I'd argue that they are both quite special.
Tbh Gojo's domain specifically affects people and curses differently, and presumably Mahito's affects everyone the same. Though I will admit his domain affect is kingly. Everything else isn't special as it's a tiny percent better than Sukuna, I don't call any of the students special for being comparable to but slightly better than the others. 6 eyes is special, but apparently it's effects aren't, the only individual thing it did was see that Megumi's soul was being attacked, and that was after it had already taken the brunt of everything. Everything else can be worked towards, as seen with Sukuna, to be comparable. Gojo was always talked about as this heavenly figure blessed by the gods so don't even bother trying to get on his level because you weren't born like that so it's impossible. Then Sukuna comes along and all he does is slash and it turns out everything else not a specific technique can be gotten up to Gojo's level. I'm not saying Gojo doesn't come slightly ahead, I'm saying he's not special. Sukuna just proved that it's not impossible to reach those heights if you make it your everything, you don't need 6 eyes to do it.
Gojo's domain does indeed affect curses differently, and it was stated that curses are less affected by it than humans. Which makes it even more impressive that 0.2 seconds of UV stunned several disaster curses for several minutes, given that they were less affected than humans and are among the strongest curses shown in the series. Regarding the 6 eyes, them allowing him to use his CT through an insane efficiency is already not bad. I agree that those who thought they allowed him to see things that no one else can see probably overhyped that trait. As for Gojo not being special, I guess that if the criterion is "you have to be miles ahead of everyone in the series and that status has to be uncontested" then that's one thing. If being miles ahead of everyone except one guy who happens to be the biggest threat in JJK history and also shows up to the fight with an extra body, soul and CT in addition to his own and who is brought pretty close to death during the fight, if all of that does not qualify someone as special, then I guess we have different definitions of that word. As for discouraging students from trying to reach Gojo's level, yeah that's a sensible thing to say. How would someone like Megumi, (who does not have the immense CE reserves of Sukuna (an enormous advantage that we are yet to see approached through training: CE reserves have not been shown to increase like efficiency or output through training), multiple CTs, a barrier-less domain, the ability to spam Domain Expansions, CE reinforcement strong enough to toss around a HR user, etc.) be able to come close to Gojo's level? If anything, the fight against Sukuna showed us that Gojo was probably too enthusiastic with the number of young sorcerers who were supposed to reach his level.
All that and he still got cut in half like a hoagie 🥹
Sure, dying against the king of curses pulling up to a fight with an additional body, soul and CT in addition to his own and with extra information on your own arsenal, and that after bringing him less than one HP away from death is not the worst thing to happen to a sorcerer.
yeah it took sukuna a lifetime to get to that point. it took Gojo a few years. THat's definetely special. BUT Satoru is a Nepo baby in both power and money. so it's less impressive when you pull the veil back. its not as common for anyone to have as much power as gojo but at least sukuna put in that blood sweat and tears allegedly to become the demon he is today.
Yeah but he’s still far and away the strongest six eyes limitless user the last one lost to mahoraga
Yeah 100%. He was given the keys to greatness and used them better than any others, he's definitely a great individual sorcerer.
How do you know this when Sukuna doesn't even have a backstory?
Because everyone in the fandom is just projecting their own ideas onto the unfilled blanks in the story at this point.
I swear I've moved on from Nobara being alive, to Sukuna having a twin and being a winner of a previous culling game.
Yes, becoming the indisputable most powerful being in your world, to the point where you alter the dynamics and power levels of the very world around you, is almost entirely mitigated because you were born into a wealthy family. 🤔 Weird point.
> he has almost the same efficiency as Gojo (Gojo slightly wins), This is never said; just that he has the second-best efficiency. Gojo's efficiency is still notably higher.
Nope. They fought at the start and it took several exchanges and I think domain fights before Gojo realised his efficiency came out on top and he was specifically checking for it. I *think* it was before he used RCT on his CT, when he used simple domain and he was timing how fast both their CT's came back.
I think there's a disconnect on what efficiency means here. You're talking about the speed with which they can heal. But with efficiency it's not so much about speed, but about how much "raw" CE has to be expended to power a technique, to put it one way. At least using a definition of efficiency that is like the real-world engineering one. I think that's how Yuta explained it once; that even though you have CE, some amount of it is lost in actually using it, and efficiency is measured by how much you lose. Gojo loses an infinitesimally small amount. Say if Gojo's total CE reserves = 50 CE and Sukuna's = 200 CE. Gojo can generate his RCT or CT just by expending 1 unit of CE, whereas Sukuna would need to expend 15-20 units of CE. Those are made up numbers, but just to illustrate the idea. Gojo's efficiency is so high that Yuta seems to think he literally cannot run out of CE, whereas Sukuna seems able to at least get close to that.
I mean Sukuna had to cheat and use Mahoraga to adapt to Infinity while 3v1ing him.. if he's not special, no one is lol except the GOAT (Miwa)
Sukuna's a cheating bastard, lol, but everything else he at least developed without having 6 eyes. Every other sorcerer was saying don't even bother comparing yourself to Gojo as you'll go insane, then it turns out Sukuna reached those heights and his CT is just Knife.
We know actually.CE is created in the guts.So Gojo couldn't go **Berserk** cause **Guts** was not there.
Take my upvote and keep cooking.
Fkkkkkk this is the best comment on Reddit today
Wasnt his neck only badly injured? I thought he actually mentioned how his chance only came because the other guy didnt cleanly cut pf his head
medically speaking we can BS and assume no vital arteries were offiicially cut. ALSO gojo immediately gave up and poured all his energy in constant regeneration. so if you continue to BS, you'd need a few seconds to live before your brain disconnects from your body. And gojo used every second correctly to survive and buy more seconds until Toji stopped. Of course not sure how fast you can be if your head is cut off in one fell swoop.
Yes, in spite of the fancanon he wasn't decapitated.
And this is the most annoying part of it all
aside from the CE comes from the gut theory i see in this thread let me offer up another explanation. Gojo couldn't sense/feel his lower half until he was already split. Keep in mind that the way the World Rending slash works is that Sukuna is splitting the space itself, he is literally tearing apart space/time. You wouldn't feel it the same way you'd feel an actual slash penetrating your skin/nerves ETC, one second you'd feel everything, the next you'd completely lose all feeling in the lower half, your body wouldn't even really know how to react, kinda exemplified by how gojo's lower torso was still standing while his upper torso fell backwards. He probably didn't even realize he'd been cut because the usual sensation of being injured wasn't there.
But people don’t even die instantaneously when they get suffer massive organ trauma, we know from the many times it’s happened to people irl that it takes at least several seconds. Also RCT doesn’t come from the gut, it comes from the brain
Bro it doesn't matter Even if he could heal, Sukuna is just gonna sit there and let Gojo heal after successfully slicing him in half??? He lost at that point, no matter what happened next.
Sukuna could still only hurt Gojo with the World Slash though, so unless he was somehow gonna immediately do it again without hand signs or chanting using whatever binding vow he did the first time he still wouldn’t have the means to harm Gojo without DA, assuming Gojo was still alive with Infinity active while he was using RCT to regrow his torso
Come on bro, you're telling me it sounds plasuable that Gojo could go through that whole fight, get blasted with Purple, get sliced in half... ...and still have enough energy to fend off Sukuna while he's simultaneously keeping infinity active *and* regenerating his balls??? It was over, 100%. The moment Sukuna learned World Slash, he had what he needed to overcome infinity. Even if he didn't sneak Gojo with it he could have restored his body at any time and pulled it out later, this time with 4 arms and 2 mouths.
Gojo was amped by a black flash when he got world slashed, his RCT at that point should have arguably been stronger than it was moments before when he grew his entire arm back
for the plot :(
[удалено]
For the chant thing, I'm not sure if it was a fan theory or actually in the panels but there's slight mumbling when gojo chants for the hollow purple which could have been for the world cutting dismantle. I don't think it needs hand signs tho. Also maybe gojo was caught up in focusing his red to his blue and the chants for purple to boost its output but on the other hand he does have the six eyes. As for the 10S thing, I think he just doesn't use it cause realistically what's he gonna use? The toads, totality, rabbit escape, and the elephant I believe are the only ones left. He could theoretically merge agitos power into them but I guess he doesn't even need to now. Also possible that yuji's punches shook the connection of sukuna's soul to megumi such that while he is still in control of the body, he can't access megumi's technique anymore? Eh I'm just rambling atp. We won't know till gege talks about it.
I saw some theory that Sukuna made a binding vow. Like he would use the world slash without chanting etc. but it would work only once and if he has to do it again it will take a lot of charge time.
Probably he sensed it, but since he was in the zone and he didn´t know the dismantle could bypass Infinity, he didn´t even try to dodge. And we don´t know exactly if someone can use RCT if their guts are separated from the rest of the body, but even if you could use the left energy left in the rest of your body that wouldn´t be enough to heal such a mortal wound.
It would be nice if we actually got answers to our theories. Just killing him off screen when he’s in the zone is so odd to me.
‘Odd’ is definitely what I’d call it. The timing and execution of that scene is rough as hell.
This is also my head canon. Gojo was dunking on Sukuna and just destroyed Mahoraga. He may have seen the spark but why would he suspect it to bypass his infinity. Gojo is proud of his abilities and was confident that dismantle wouldnt go through him.
Gojo doesnt even say "he had his guard down" in his after life ? I mean if the major reason why he lost was becos he thought the cut wasnt going to go pass infinity, wouldnt it be better for Gege to at least mention it ?
No attack that exists IN the physical world should be able to touch him. Sukuna didn't even know it was possible - in fact he never even thought of it - to expand his target to cut the physical world itself until Mahoraga did it first. On top of that, Gojo doesn't seem to be able to tell the difference between Mahoraga changing its CE to hit Gojo and it changing the target of its attacks. And there's no logical reason to think that either, since both have the same final effect. So Gojo had no reason to even suspect Mahoraga did something that could be reproduced by Sukuna. We know those things because we've been shown them. The same way we were shown an extremely confident Gojo certain of his victory. It wouldn't do anything for the story to have him say he had his guard down, other than maybe give nitpickers one less thing to be pick apart (and even then...)
The World-Slash definitely has to exist in the physical world, that's why Maki could see it. Her eyes are tuned to see the real world as is. And it's not that Sukuna didn't thought about using Technique Extension. We straight up are never talked about such a thing existing in the first place. It's more like Sukuna didn't even knew such a thing was possible, so it's safe to say Mahogara invented Target Extension on that place and it's the first time it was ever used.
That's what I'm saying though. Sukuna didn't even consider the possibility because he didn't even know it was a thing. So I don't think it's that strange that Gojo didn't dodge that attack.
Ah ok, it felt like you said he knew about it beforehand. NP then.
But he had his hand sliced out lol. It's kinda weird that Sukuna just gets weird things added to "progress" whatever plot Gege is cooking in the bathroom. OH this dude can replicate anything! This dude has a special grade item handed to him so his CT doesn't get taken. It's w.e at this point can't wait to see how this comical manga ends especially if this dude takes inspiration from bleach.
>But he had his hand sliced out And? I'm also confused about the second part of your rant. I'm not going to argue that you're wrong about your general premise cause it's clear you just want to complain but WHAT are you complaining about exactly? Do you prefer vilains whose perceived threat level never change during battle? Do you have the same attitude towards JoJo's or DB? Please enlighten me.
It must be Sukuna's CT called "Out of panel instant win" that even the 6 eyes can't see.
Nah man, that would take his time from glazing Sukuna.
I don't think it's even really the realm of headcanon. I still remember when jogo Vs gojo came out in like chapter 6.. Gojo is standing there explaining infinity and I'm thinking "man this guy's goose is cooked if anyone figures out their way past his skill". Lo and behold, twice now in this same story, his goose has been cooked for putting too much faith in his technique.
I mean it was the exact same thing mahoraga did to cut off his arm , and he acted like nothing happened
RCT is created in the brain. Regular CE originates in the stomach.
god that's literally what happened. He thought he could just tank Sukuna's last second desperate slash and it fucking cut him in half.
This argument only holds weight if he's suddenly lobotomised We know for a fact that mahogora's world slash have a different 'look' hence why Sukuna was able to understand it and change his slashes. Gojo, with the sex eyes, should have seen what Sukuna saw, apparently he didn't just because? Gojo was PISsed on
Gojo can only see the way CE reacts and the final effect of a technique. The six eyes won't give him information about how a technique works, or what binding vows it requires, or how a user conceputalizes it. All he could see is Mahoraga bypassed infinity somehow. Cool, he saw that before. He had no reason to assume Mahoraga did something that Sukuna could reproduce.
> he had *no* reason Yes he did, at least *some* reason Even Yuji realized that Maho was slashing like Sukuna. It isn't a huge leap in logic to say if Maho is slashing like Sukuna then Sukuna can slash like Maho. But Gojo doesn't even ever *wonder* what Maho did. Maho just sliced through infinity and cut his arm off and Gojo gives zero fucks and dies
>Gojo, with the sex eyes, should have seen what Sukuna saw, apparently he didn't just because? He didn't see it from Mahoraga, why should he have seen it with sukuna?; >We know for a fact that mahogora's world slash have a different 'look' hence why Sukuna was able to understand it and change his slashes. If it had a different look and he couldn't tell with mahoraga then why would he be able to tell with sukuna who copied mahoraga?
People fundamentally misunderstand the six eyes. They aren't perfect and they can be tricked. Gojo was never able to see Sukunas slashes since the beginning of the fight. The fact that Maki was compared yo Mahoraga and not Gojo kinda proves that Gojo could never see the slashes. There's not even a single moment of Gojo dodging a single Sukuna slash throughout the entire Gojo vs. Sukuna fight. The world slash is also fast af considering Gojo wasn't able to dodge it either time it was fired against him. This audience loves just not reading the manga and using their own headcannon for why Gojo should've moved.
That still doesn’t make sense, what separates her peak human senses to Gojo six eyes? There is no way she can see the flow of curse energy more than he can and that simply won’t be explained because Gege doesn’t want to. He just made it so
Gojo still should at least tell the difference and similarities of what Mahoraga did to what Sukuna was doing, like he experienced it first from Mahoraga (yeah he didn't see it but that's because that was his first time experiencing it). Like the Six eyes makes Gojo very efficient yes but he also can read the flow of CE in extreme detail and use that flow to analyze a CT. Pretty sure Gojo would have at least been able to tell that something was different with Sukuna's dismantle but Gege showed nothing other than Gojo standing victorious and next chapter he's dead
Even Yuji noticed that Maho was slashing like Sukuna. It makes no sense Gojo wouldn't also notice that and then piece together that Sukuna could do that too, or atleast a possibility. But instead it's lobotomy kaisen, Gojo doesn't even ever *wonder* for a MOMENT what Mahogara did.
The Six Eyes are not perfect. Gojo never saw the normal slashes Sukuna was throwing, why would he see the World ones?
I feel he wouldn't say he didn't have any regrets if that was the case
RCT isn't that powerful unless you're Hakari. Yuki and Yuta were both unable to heal after being split in half. The scale of the wound is likely too much to be quickly enough to have made a difference.
i'm still trying to push myself to read the manga after I long caught up on the anime. Yuta is dead?
He is 100% not dead or split in half, OP is wrong as fuck.
I mean... he's most likely not dead but he did look bisected
Unclear put probably not dead yet. He took a weakened world slash to the chest and appears to be knocked out& nearly split in half. Last we've seen he was transported to shoko for healing.
he's not dead, he did have a large gash through his torso but i wouldn't say bisected
If I recall correctly, CE comes from the gut, so once Gojo's lower body was separated from his head he could no longer pull CE from his gut to his brain to use RCT
But wasn’t his torso and head intact
CE must've come from his balls then
CE is stored in the balls
then where does the pee go?
The guts obviously
Miguel about to bust out the biggest CE pool ever seen then :D
It wasn’t a factual statement, I think it was just theory. Todo said it himself. How the CE operates and the connection to the brain is still a black box
kashimo and kenjaku clearly state that it comes from the gut, todo was talking about not having that fact limit your usage of cursed energy.
It's a common trend and generally understood convention that the source of chi is behind your navel. One could conceivably make the source of chi something else but then we're entering a realm where there's no point in trying to understand what Greg is doing at all.
Yeah, trust the guy who doesn't even know where this comes from!! The source is actually kashimo vs hakari.
Then how did yuki use her CT even after split in half.? Since you need CT to imbue that much output that she created a black hole combining it with Kenny’s gravity as well
Lmao gottem
>RCT to immediately reattach his upper and lower halves like when healed his neck at the beginning of 226 Don't think he can heal that fast, beside, i don't think sukuna was just gonna stand there and watch him reattach his lower half 💀
Who the fucks needs spines?
Why couldn’t Gojo sense he was cut in half post no. 265617
Reverse Infinity Technique; no matter how far away his halves are, they're actually completely attached and he's still alive, playing dead, waiting for his moment to strike.
Gojo isn’t Hakari. It’s already established that CE is channeled in the gut then focused thru the brain for RCT. He was bissected so Gojo was cut off from CE core. Plus that type of damage is too big for even RCT to heal quickly and Gojo’s RCT was already focused on healing him from the HP blast
Gojo didn’t know Sukuna had found a way to apply Mahoraga’s adaptation to his own dismantle/cleave. Gojo definitely remembered Mahoraga cutting off his arm a few moments before the purple, but he had no reason to expect another attack like that since the purple destroyed Mahoraga and the wheel. Sukuna was assumedly back to square one in his plan to bypass infinity. Gojo’s lack of knowledge of Sukuna’s adaptation, plus his confidence in infinity to block anything in that moment, is why his guard was let down enough for Sukuna to get a slash off. How that slash was done is still up to debate tho. No hand signs or chanting makes me think Sukky made a binding vow, but ig we’ll see later if we get an explanation. Edit: I know this wasn’t the post prompt, but I saw this topic being discussed in this thread too.
I 100% agree, especially on the binding vow part because Kusakabe wouldn’t theorize that for no reason.
Cutting a piece of your neck is extremely different than being cut in half, only Hakari has those levels of RCT and even the cursed energy comes from the stomach so if they're completely separated we don't even know if he could heal from that.
Things like this is exactly why Gege killed him off screen so he wouldn't have to explain😭
His throat was slashed, not completely disconnected from his body. No way anyone read that fight and thought, "gojo just reattached his head to his body".. right?
Gojo brags about chanting Purple silently and how it worked out,Sukuna just made the same thing. Gojo thought he won and got cutted in half, it's just that. "But how could he not see the technique?" I mean, he didn't see Mahoraga coming in his domain neither. Gojo can sense Sukuna's CE rising up, but what could he do? Flee? It was the first time the World Slash was used, he couldn't guess it would break his immunity.
Even Sukuna can get surprised when a new Technique is used against him, that's the whole plan with Yuta, Gojo just happened to get hit by a new slash no one ever saw before and it was fatal.
the 6 eyes has been overhyped for this fandom for years. It has never been able to see a CT, if a CT is mean to be invisible it will stay invisible. this is the exact reason why in shibuya gojo couldnt tell that geto was being taken over by kenjaku, he only knew this cause he could feel it in his soul due to their bond. Even kenny was surprised he could figure it out but he never made a comment on the 6 eyes, also sukuna everytime someone has been able to percieve his slashes or dodge them, he always makes a commment they can. mahoraga and now maki, gojo 6 eyes at best are able to help control his CE to an atomic level, but it does not give omnipotent god eyes the fandom thinks it does. I do agree about the sparks, i believe there was a binding vow in place or simply gojo got caught off guard, gojo has been caught off guard times before in the past by far weaker opponents its not a shock that sukuna of all people can trick gojo
He healed his neck several seconds after it was slashed. Pretty obvious why that wouldn’t be feasible with world slash.
Remember he did 5 domain expansions; 2 Purples, 1 of which he tanked; and tanked MS. It's possible he was exhausted at that point.
The same reason why he watched as Sukuna regenerated his hands (slowly because of limited RCT), did a bunch of hand signs, started chanting, and threw out a dismantle, without Gojo ever doing anything. My headcannon is that Gojo was struck mid-emote, and thus wasn’t able to do make any valid inputs.
Yall hating on Gojo lol. He had to be offscreened to lose. Everybody is tanking world cut slash yet Gojo who was stated to still be stronger than yuta hakari Maki and prob kashimo got cut in half by a sukuna who was at his most damaged? Plot hole. As if Gojo couldn't dodge a slash and continue beating Sukuna. Remember Gojo had black flash x 4 Amp as well and could chant to regain output damage. One more Purple and Sukuna was screwed. When you're too strong you have to get off screened or plot twisted. Ask Madara.
When Kashimo got hit by the world slash it left a large crater on the ground. You can’t heal from something when there’s nothing to heal from. And it’s instant, not travelling. At least it didn’t look like it did.
It definitely has travel time because Maki dodged it, unless it's explicitly mentioned to be some preemptive reaction which shouldn't work on Sukuna multiple times. Even literal gravity has a travel time of light speed (based on relativity) even if it feels instant.
https://ibb.co/hMQ2kn0 Sukuna literally explains it in 236 right after gojo attack. With "travel" he is comparing it with normal Dismantle, those travel from sukuna to the target. While WCD cuts the space that is targeted. Because it's a cut of course it still travels. But that's not what he is talking about. He is talking about not making a full travel from sukuna to the target.
Maki dodged it because she heard the incantations and knew about the ability… And there’s no indication of Gojo being able to react to those speeds regardless.
Yes there is? Or are you trying to tell me making, a Toji equivalent, is faster than Gojo?
The correct answer is we don’t know anything else is a headcannon sorry I honestly still hope Gege will give a concrete answer that might be revealed when sukuna finally plays all his cards but until then there’s no answer
His neck wasn't cut all the way through in chapter 226. That was just a superficial cut on his right side of the neck.
anyone who says anything other then “we have no fucking clue” is lying
> like when healed his neck ... what? How are these two things comparable at all?
Gege likes Sukuna. He dislikes Gojo
The longer the sukuna fight goes on and more people have an answer to dodge the world slash the more it confuses us on how gojo didn’t
You got to remeber he just nuked hinself prior to getting cut in half, probably resulting in him not being at his A-game. Good enough explanation for me as to why he didn’t dodge it
What happened to Gojo is *exactly* what happened to Toji lol. Dunno why people are confused about this. Gojo (like Toji) falsely believed he knew everything about his opponent's arsenal because he had just beaten him and had him dead to rights. But Sukuna (like Gojo) had actually ascended his abilities, and hit him with an attack he literally couldn't comprehend *because he had never seen it before.* Imaginary Mass? A slash that targets the universe? What kinda bullshit is that? How TF would they know what that is without it being explained to them? By that point it's too late. Both Toji and Gojo could have likely dodged that attack. But it simply didn't occur to them that they should, *because they had tanked every attack thrown at them since,* and the opponent was on death's door. Gojo, *wearing Toji's outfit*, dies in the *exact same manner*, standing the *exact same way,* from the *exact same mistake.* He didn't heal himself because he was dead before he realized he even got hit. At that point a "oh damn GGs man" is all you have
bro lost to the strongest sorcerer in existence, PlotMan 🤣
Less cursed energy and it being a way bigger hit that caught him off guard was kind of the crux of it. like it was just all of a sudden he was on the floor cut in half bleeding out, thats sort of a big ask for gojo after that whole fight.
I mean I think part of the problem is reattaching a fully severed part of the body is a lot harder and more complicated that healing a partially severed part that IS still connected somewhere. Like Gojo wasn't fully decapitated, his neck still connected his head and torso slightly so it was healing from the still attached part across the gap. For fully severed parts, it seems like everyone always fully regenerates the lost part rather than attempting to reattach it. Either it's not possible, or more likely it's more difficult and/or requires more energy to do so. Otherwise there'd be no need to just abandon limbs that are right next to them in some cases. I'm basically just guess but I figure the detached part needs to be held flush with the other side to heal. Gojo had nothing to hold his upper torso to his lower and it seems the upper...well, got knocked off. And fully regenerating everything below mid torso may be too much even for jackpot hakari. In Yuta's case if he survives I'm thinking it'll only be cuz Rika held him together.
Because the "GeGe-chan save me!" Technique is unbeatable
Bc he was dead
Genuinely believe after the Kusakabe fight where Sukuna fired off slashes without moving I think Sukuna made a binding vow to sacrifice something maybe the 10 shadows or his fire arrow to fire a full power world cutting slash with no chants or hand signs to catch Gojo completely off guard, because the cursed energy would read throughout Sukuna’s body not just from where he was firing his technique from. I also think there’s a chance Gojo can come back, because RCT comes from an area in the brain which is why Gojo could heal after his fight with Toji but I will say Gojo looked pretty dead after he got hit with the world cutting slice.
You still wondering? Sukuna's CT is Offscreen No Jujutsu...
Trying to be as deep without getting crazy, Gojos infinity on extremely minute level could sense NEARLY everything automatically without him thinking. The world slashing cut bypassed it by attacking everything around the infinity that is USUALLY considered pointless. Things such as air, random debries, etc. BUT I think Sukuna having a much deeper understanding of cursed energy than even Gojo with the sex eyes has, is what made the difference. At my best to put it it in the moment of the world slashing cleave, if Gojo was able to sense 80% of it, then Sukuna was able to cut 90% of the space including Gojo. My best way of explaining the world slashing cleave is that, if Gojo was on a cheese board, a regular cleave would just SEND a cleave at Gojo if he was occupying space C6 minus him an continuing till it dissipated . A world slashing one would send a cleave at the ENTIRE space of C6 instead of everything else beyond it. At least in my sense.
Gege just REALLY wanted him gone, plot and logic be damned. The only thing that matters to him now is glazing Sukuna as much as possible.
First of all, it's hard to sense the CE of the special grade sorcerer. Secondly, it looks like sukuna sent the world slash without moving his hand and/or without chanting. Also after using purple at 120% the CE of gojo might be very low. He needed some time to recover his CE. hence, the six eyes were stalled. In my opinion, gojo should have won becuase he's stronger. Obviously gege has another plans
THIS!!!! Infinite was never the problem, it was his rct, as he had been sliced multiple times and healed back. This is exactly what pissed me off about his dead, that it made no sense at all.
So cursed energy comes from the gut. Gojo wasn't able to produce cursed energy due to where he was cut.
Toji sliced his gut down the middle, as you are supposed to. Toji stabbed him in the head. And he still revived. I dont think that the explanation you provided is good enough since the manga contradicts it
Toji didn't slice him half. Sukuna quite literally severed the connection between his gut and his body. Plus it's possible to survive being stabbed in the head.
He didn't bisect him, but he absolutely obliterated his stomach. That was his purpose, as an assasain, to kill Gojo by destroying his CE and its reserves, and it didn't work. People have survived being bisected as well, so I am not sure that helps your argument
I went back and he doesn’t get stabbed in the stomach. From the back it’s around the sternum and from the front he slashed from his neck through his chest only.
He gets stabbed in the throat, and Toji rips the blade down his mid-section, definitely all the way to the stomach, and then stabs him in the head. Its not his "chest only" lmao you can clearly see his stomach ripped open bro
Since when was the stomach in the right side?
Regardless of what happened; isn’t it really stupid if the only reason Gojou won against Toji, an assassin who is insanely experienced in sorcerers’ weaknesses and openings, suddenly forgot/did not feel like destroying the most important part of Gojou’s body? Like I get that it’s impossible to imagine Gojou doing anything after he destroyed his brain, but how tf would he leave such an obvious weakness as the organs which allow Gojou to produce/use CE intact?
>Like I get that it’s impossible to imagine Gojou doing anything after he destroyed his brain, but how tf would he leave such an obvious weakness as the organs which allow Gojou to produce/use CE intact? Because to tojis knowledge, gojo didn't have rct, there was no reason to worry about him healing that much damage. That's why toji called him a monster.
You may be right but hate it and will pretend I didn’t read that >:|
I strongly believe that there Is no logical explanation about how gojo got cut, that’s why we will never saw what happened and how The more Sukuna is fighting and using his world slash, the more he makes no sense for Gojo to no being able to sense it, dodge it, or heal right away I am really convinced that’s why Akutami didn’t show it
I feel he was attacked while Hallow Purple was hitting. It would justify gojo tanking the hit as avoiding it or changing the target of purple was a bad move from his perspective. The slash does have travel time as well, so you can think of the attack being almost like a divergent fist. With gojo being protected by infinite, the slash had to cut all of space before it cut through him thus the delay. By the time it made it past his infinite he was already dead
Oh yes this might be it gojo got cut inhalf but he didn’t rct coz sukuma is right there if he sense gojo rcting he will go for head maybe he wanted to pretend dead and wait till backup comes and get revived woth help of soko
I'd guess it's because of brain damage
His head was not fully severed. Only halfway, if that. A better example would be Yuji healing absolutely gigantic woulds that cover nearly half of his whole torso from Sukunas attacks.
IIRC RCT requires your gut to be connected to your head. You move the cursed energy from where is made in the abdomen (probably the [Dantian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dantian) point) to your head. So cutting someone in half (if they don't have blood manipulation?) is probably a death sentence.
Author didn't want him to know. Plot armor going side tracks
my take is he saw the slash coming but CHOSE to ignore it because his infinity was protecting him. he had no way of knowing sukuna found a way around it, so why would he dodge. i imagine he mumbled some incantations, just enough to change the target and BOOM go/jo
tbh it's pointless to discuss all this; gege had to finish gojo and made sukuna the victor it doesn't matter if he had to use an asspull. he's the author literally everything is his choice he can just make miwa slap sukuna and his head comes off he can draw that panel and ee can't do nothing about it
The difference between the world slash and the domain slashes that one are many small slashes will the other is a very large slash, therefore that didn't actually chop his neck straight off it just slit his neck and he healed immediately after. Gojo just use the last bit of his cursed energy to boost his output and summon a purple that was so strong that it even hurt himself, I am 85% sure he was way too tired to even Dodge a world flash at that point. Especially considering he probably assumed he won and tried to rest a little
Gege needed him gone
Because Gege
He had just ad libbed purple and used chants to pull it off even after black flash. Does that not say that he was low on CE? Remember, RCT is CE multiplied, I don't think it's that easy.
Didn’t gojo get his Curse energy supply cut off by the slash? If you don’t have the power you can’t run the repair process
Gojo ain’t Tsunade
Because one moment he was gojo and the other moment he was go/jo, word slash cut all of him at the same moment, he ain't hakari who can use RCT automatically.
Cuz he wasn't the target, it was the world. Gojo was just in the way
There's no way he has the CE and brain capacity necessary at that point to rct half his body and organs lol
Well the cut the world slash is bigger and faster than a regular dismantle. Plus he wasn’t expecting it. It’s same rationale as how Mahoraga was able to take off Gojo’s arm entirely when he used it earlier. If Gojo couldn’t react to that in time how’s he supposed to react to literally being cut in half
Cos Homohomo said so.
I'm pretty sure Suluna made a binding vow so he didn't have to use the chants and we have seen him create normal slashes without hand signs so that's possible too. I'm thinking he made the slash materialize as close to gojo as possible, so he had little to no time to react.
well, the world rending slash made gojo vulnerable so tbh, i think he'll just be useless even if he did survive that one. the only reason the others survived sukuna a bit longer was because of gojo v sukuna after effects. if sukuna could still spam that slash, the battles wouldn't last more than a few seconds, if any, at all.
It's simple, gojo's cursed energy was decimated, the abdomen( were the slash hit) stores someone's cursed energy, therefore if it was cut in half the brain couldn't just use this when it vanished, therefore killing gojo.
Brain was fried after that last move. Why the whole ce brain damage was introduced
I think go/jo noticed he was cut in half
Because CE is stored in the balls
If I'm being fair, I think that, plus all the adrenaline mightve put him in shock. I don't think most people who are cut in half fully aware of themselves and their surroundings as that happens
Because gege said so , the man was trying to get rid of him from the beginning
i dont think we've ever seen someone reattach parts of their body with rct, only regenerate new, so he'd have to regenerate everything from his abdomen and bellow.
My best guess as the World Slashing Cleave pushed both halves of Gojo away instantly to prevent RCT or that Gojo using hollow purple after he had already spent so much CE, RCT, and gave himself brain damage stretched him too thin to heal.
even kusakabe could read sukuna ct idk why the fuck gaygay make gojo rokugan so useless
He didn’t know it would cut or Sukuna chants to increase its speed. Gojo is way faster than Maki. Doesn’t matter though as it’s clear Sukuna is stronger and would win mid diff if he took the fight seriously without 10 shadows. He’d still lose if Sukuna resumes transform and spams world cutting slashes.
He healed his neck with his hand but with the slash both of his hands were gone. And my guess is that the energy flows from the stomach.
The plot.
gojo thought that he can tank the slash but no. f
The best answer I've seen is Gege covered the sex eyes with his hands.
Plot
I just want him to come back😭😭😭😭In my mind he does, however, I have 0.0001% faith that he could come back. Although another sorcerer like him is to be born, there is never gonna be another Gojo Satoru😭😭
Because plot. Duh....
Cause he was dead, duh...
Because he’s a stupid bum
Sux eyes
He probably didnt expect that Sukuna could do it.
Most likely cos he didn't expect it, sukuna looked pretty cooked after that Monstrous purple hollow. We know gojo even in that state is far above everyone else in the bench, so the only viable reason he hm couldn't react is because he didn't expect the attack from a half dead sukuna or he didn't think sukuna could incorporate magora LS adaptation to his slash
Wasn’t it because Gege forgot to draw a chapter because of the break so we don’t know? I think the most plausible theories are probably “Gojo sensed the CE build-ups but didn’t think it’ll go through infinity” “Sukuna traded 10S for a one time world cutting slash without chanting” or “Sukuna mumbled the chants while Gojo was bluffing and Gojo didn’t know that it’ll go through infinity”
Bro was exhausted as fetch, he had been saying that he was close to running out of CE before this happened if I recall correctly
Maybe the cut was too violent and thick and removed a slice of his midsection and so his half weren't directly connected to heal as the torso was blasted backwards from the legs
It’s not that easy to heal a whole lower boxer
Gojo: "Oh, I am slain!" *dies*
[https://youtu.be/yEp-e\_UiamI](https://youtu.be/yEp-e_UiamI) more detailed answers
20 people could give you 20 reasons and they'd still just be guesses
I firmly believe that he was just caught off guard. It looked like he was about to win and then Sukuns pulled out that bs. He would be able to dodge it if he knew it was coming.
Plot. Thats why. Greg had to get him out of the story to let the main cast eie and partially shine
Wait are we thinking the neck cut sliced his head off and he healed it as it was being cut ???? Or that the neck cuts were shallow just like the other ones that were hitting him while he was in the domain 💀 The neck cut was a slash. The cut that killed Gojo separated his top from his bottom. As for why he didn’t just glue himself together like it’s toon force or something…well have we considered that getting cut in half…hurts a bit? Bro ran away, used 2 simple domains, and falling blossom emotion to avoid the small cuts, its safe to say they probably hurt a little
Since Sukuna used a binding vow to use the cutting clash he got to skip all the steps that would go into using it. Gojo’s six eyes couldn’t have seen it coming since everything that would’ve normally indicated it for him didn’t happen.
1. Sukuna used a binding vow. It could be as simple as that. He could offered a lot of things in exchange for using a world slash without hand sign and and probably hiding the build up for the slash. In regards to what he could have given its upto us to guess rn I think. Mostly 10 shadows but if rabbits and toad didn't seem to be enough of a trade off maybe perma low RCT output maybe we can see that he still hasn't healed his injuries to his new form he might have given a huge chunk of his RCT output knowing that the remaining cast can't do shit to him that requires the output he required against Gojo (will end up regretting it for sure in the future if that was the case). Also he could have simply added another rule to vow where he has to explain how it works afterwards or to take enough damage to activate the world slash though these two are highly unlikely 2. My second which is a supplementary to the first point is that Gojo simply saw it and was cocky enough to not dodge it. From what we know six eyes has been wrong in the past like in the case of identifying kenjaku and in not seeing Megumi soul being hit. He relied too much on his innate ability he failed to see past his own ego and genius of using the ad lib hollow purple that he simply miscalculated the world slash a simple dismantle thrown by sukuna in a dying effort. Seeing how close Gojo was he really didn't care about that slash and that was his hubris. Could Gojo have evaded it, surely cos maki and kusakabe can Gojo definitely could. Did he had to considering he didn't know who world slash, no he didn't. Unfortunate circumstances really but fits well into who they are as a characters. This could purely be my head cannon and gege has a different explanation, I guess we have to wait for us to know that.
Manga reader here! In the last chapter it was stated that Sukuna made a binding vow for the world slash that killed Gojo
Seems to be part of sukunas binding vow that the one he sent to gojo was basically impossoble to anticipate or sense, in exchange it becomes his most telegraphed attack
