Warning! Contains reveal for Jujutsu Kaisen #226!
joyous is one of the most powerful characters in Jujutsu Kaisen, and while his powers are incredibly powerful, the latest chapter of the manga has proven that they’re not the main reason he’s become such a force to be reckoned with. Of course, it has to be fought against the series’ other strongest character, Sukuna, for Gojo to really show his hidden power. But by saving this revelation for this battle, mangaka Gege Akutami has increased the tension of their clash and also made this revelation all the more satisfying.
Chapter #226, translated by John Werry, continues the suspense of the previous chapter, with Gojo being severely injured due to Sukuna’s Territory Expansion. Gojo heals this wound with the Reverse Curse Technique, but this is only a temporary measure, as Sukuna can continue to attack him while he is in the vast Domain Expansion. Gojo creates a simple Domain against these attacks, but this tactic only buys him time. After using too much Cursed Energy, Gojo’s main technique was basically exhausted, rendering him unable to continue attacking. However, Gojo excellently recovered by using his Reverse Cursed Technique to heal his Infinite Cursed Technique, allowing him to hit Sukuna with a surprising Hollow Red explosion. course.
Jujutsu Kaisen proves Gojo’s greatest strength is his innovation
This is an incredibly creative use of Cursed Energy, demonstrating how creative Gojo can be when using his Cursed Techniques. This was somewhat implied by the various attacks that Gojo could use with his Infinite technique. Hollow Red, Blue, and especially Purple all require incredible control and understanding of Cursed Energy, part of which Gojo derives from his Green Eye inheritance technique. A deep understanding of his own abilities allows him to adapt and overcome any enemies that might overwhelm him. Such as when he killed Toji after that man hit him in their first battle.
However, Gojo rarely shows this side of him as there are few witches who can actually threaten him based on the basic level of his overwhelming techniques. This makes it seem like Gojo’s only strength comes from his powerful abilities, and this is actually enough to make any wizard extremely powerful. But if he hadn’t grasped how Cursed Energy and Techniques work along with the innovation to use them in new and surprising ways, he might not have defeated Toji or recovered during the fight with Sukuna. This shows that his real strength lies in his more subtle features.
The best fight of Jujutsu Kaisen will continue to explore Gojo and Sukuna
Gojo will likely show even more amazing uses of his power as his fight with Sukuna continues. With Sukuna’s own talent and creative power, he will have to. Gojo may be incredibly powerful, but it remains to be seen whether his innovation can overcome Sukuna’s ridiculous strength. Given that Yuji is the protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen, Gojo’s time is most likely limited. See both joyous And tribe pushed to their limits and beyond, both reveal more about them and turn their clash into Jujutsu Kaisenbest fight.
