Sukuna Didn’t Fight Alone: The Power Of Megumi’s Body

One of the biggest reasons Gojo lost was that Sukuna wasn’t just using his own powers. He had already taken control of Megumi Fushiguro’s body, which gave him access to the Ten Shadows Technique. This allowed him to summon powerful Shikigami like Mahoraga, who played a huge role in the final fight. Mahoraga’s ability to adapt to any technique, even Limitless, turned the tide.

While Gojo was busy dealing damage, Sukuna was testing him the whole time, learning his moves and preparing a counter. Gojo didn’t realize Sukuna was saving Megumi’s abilities until it was too late. Sukuna used Mahoraga as a tool to analyze Gojo’s Infinity and Domain, and once that data was complete, it became a deadly game of chess; one Gojo couldn’t win.

Domain Battles: A War Of Territory And Timing

Gojo and Sukuna Domain Expansion battles

Another major part of this fight was the Domain Expansions. Gojo and Sukuna didn’t just throw hands; they clashed with high-level Cursed Techniques. At first, Gojo had the upper hand. His Unlimited Void was strong and hit Sukuna multiple times. But Sukuna never panicked. Instead, he began using a clever trick: repeated Domain clashes.

By constantly breaking Gojo’s Domain, Sukuna forced Gojo to keep burning through his Cursed Energy and healing his brain using the Reverse Cursed Technique. Eventually, Gojo became slower, and his healing couldn’t keep up. On the other hand, Sukuna waited patiently and struck when Gojo was most vulnerable. The moment Gojo’s Domain was weak, Sukuna landed the killing blow using a slashing technique Gojo couldn’t defend against.

Gojo’s Confidence Vs Sukuna’s Patience

Gojo was confident; maybe too confident. He had never lost before, and for good reason. His Limitless technique and Six Eyes made him nearly untouchable. But that confidence led him to underestimate Sukuna’s deeper strategy. Gojo fought with raw power and overwhelming energy, but Sukuna fought with long-term planning and patience.

Sukuna didn’t just want to win the fight; he wanted to break Gojo’s spirit. He allowed Gojo to think he had the upper hand for most of the battle. Then, when the perfect moment came, he used everything he had been saving. This shows how Sukuna is more than just powerful; he’s incredibly smart, and that’s what made him truly dangerous.

Final Verdict: Gojo Lost, But Not In Vain

So why Gojo lost to Sukuna? It was not because Gojo was weak, but because Sukuna was more prepared. He used Megumi’s body, Mahoraga’s adaptability, and tactical Domain battles to wear Gojo down. This fight was never just about who had more power; it was about who could outsmart the other in a long, deadly match. And in that game, Sukuna was simply better.

Still, Gojo’s fight wasn’t meaningless. He gave everything and pushed Sukuna to his limits. The knowledge gained from that battle gave others, like Yuta and Yuji, a better chance at beating Sukuna later. Gojo may have fallen, but he did so as a hero who gave it his all till the very end.
