Jujutsu Kaisen

So now that the dust has settled, who was really the strongest?

gojo.
bumkuna can't do shit without chadhoraga.

This

Obvious Gojo. Even if Sukuna-chan is in his final form. He'd still lost to Gojo's domain spam.

if if if

not a game of averages. they fought, sukuna won, gojo died, he's the strongest. that's just how it goes. maybe there would be hypotheticals where gojo won, but it didn't happen. it's not a professional sport, no do-overs or averages.

Hypothetically, even without Mahoraga. Sukuna will outlast Gojo in his own braindamage domain and Gojo can't inside there too long unless Gojo feels suicidal then it would be a draw because that's the most realistic alternative way for Gojo to win.

Sukuna obtained Mahoraga fair and square, he can use him how he pleases. Plus he was holding back the whole time

Sukuna had the free heal back to max hp card by resuming his transformation. Gojo could spam infinity void up to 6x who knows but Sukuna tanked 5x domain expansions and still didn't use his revive card. It was going to be a sure loss for Gojo even without Mohoraga.

gojo wins the fight against a buffed sukuna

gets killed by offscreen bullshit when we're told he should have been able to predict the telegraph

I'm gonna go with sukuna

Sukuna. they fought and Sukuna cut the twink in half

NOOOOOO IF SUKUNA DIDN'T HA-

IF-

IF-

BUT-

Sukuna's sophisticated planning killed the brat , who kept self gloating about being da strongest or some shit. nuff said.

buffed sukuna

Lmao. He haven't even assimilated the body yet

Sukuna won and Gojo lost, so Sukuna is stronger.
But the strongest is picrel.

Sukuna had the better fundamentals as a sorcerer, Gojo really just gets by with his overpowered gimmick.

Sukuna, as he even had to be wary of using his trump card in case he got jumped right after killing Fraudjo

See I thought that at first too but when sukuna says

AIIIIEEEEEEE MAKORA SAVE MEEEEEEEEEE

It's actually a subtle hint that he's a jobber

both are bums. gojo had the ability to constraint infinite fields into a finite region and he only used it to create energy blasts and barriers. sukuna could manipulate the outside world without a domain and was a savant, and all he could come up with was cutting up shit and dust explosions. anyone with half a brain could have done a million other things with either of their abilities.

This is like saying "you can pick something up, therefore you can throw any object upwards at the speed of light"

what they're doing is like being able to pick something up, therefore you bludgeon instead of thinking about throwing.

The writing suggests that gojo's usage of limitless is economical. He crushes hanami with just his passive technique, but it's basically outright stated that's only possible because he was massively juicing it and because hanami was focusing all her energy on domain amplification. Even creating red seems to be a significant struggle for him, as a prodigy with the 6 eyes.
Sukuna can only cut shit because that's his cursed technique. It's not like he had idle transfiguration waiting in the wings that he ignored out of spite. The ways that he could manipulate the outside world exclusively concerned imbuing those techniques into a domain.

If you're talking about shit like manipulating the size of a domain while it's active, then we only see gojo's first attempt at that and we never know if it's possible for sukuna. That's about the only area where there's obvious untapped potential for bullshit (and even then, with the mechanics of how cursed energy works in the setting the applications are limited)

Plus he was holding back the whole time

lmao even why is it always the same cope?

Kashimo

His only win was against panda lmao

even if he has to be economical, which i don't agree with since he has massive efficiency with cursed energy due to six eyes, i still don't get why gojo doesn't utilize limitless to warp space locally to himself so that he can do consecutive black flashes. if timing it is an ephemeral miracle, then limitless should mitigate that by giving him a larger margin for error. even that should give him an edge.

I'm not really sure I get your point? Even if we assume that was somehow possible and beneficial (given that the margin is already ridiculously tight and requires complete focus) gojo states outright that the reason Nanami has a higher record of consecutive hits than he does is because gojo's fights end too quickly for him to build up combos.
He also already does something similar to what you describe anyway - he uses blue to boost the impact of his punches and kicks.

Has any series in the history of manga been forgotten faster than JJK?

except with sukuna it's a direct weakness because dojo used reversed curse techniques to replenish his domain, and black flash was a free card to spam that. point is there was very little sensible use of any ability here, it was always a superficial grasp on doing brutal damage, like how you're describing using blue here.

OnK? Everyone forcefully forgot about it.
Same year, too.

It topped the sales charts for months after it finished

I genuinely have no idea what you're trying to say here
Are you saying that he should have used black flashes boosted by his cursed technique while his cursed technique was burnt out?

onk?

more that he would be able to keep an equilibrium with his recovery rate. if he has enough cursed energy to invoke limitless, he could just bolster black flash first then just run with that instead of any of the colored techniques that would expend his reserves faster than he could recover.

I hate Sukuna. Awful character and artificial feats.

That's a criticism based on, like, 5 unfounded assumptions about how gojo's power works and his capability to use it in that way.
Even if you're right, we're not given anything in the story that would indicate that's the case

Oshi no ko

how is anything i said an assumption? it's stated mid-fight by everyone watching the gojo/sukuna dual that he was recovering due to landing a black flash. we're given plenty of info about the nature of limitless, and how nuanced he can be with it due to how the colored techniques work. at best you can claim that i'm assuming black flash is enough to win here, but all of this is just me stating more could have been done with their abilities besides crushing shit, not that it's the end all solution.

either way, it's never fully explored is my point. neither is dismantling or cleaving. it's superficial compared to the sheer potential when you realize how high-iq both sukuna and gojo are during their fight. they reknitted their brains just to reuse their domains. sukuna adapted his seals on the fly, and modified his binding vow. saying shit is "unfounded" when confronted with those details is silly.

Sukuna is stronger overall, but Gojo has a REALLY good gimmick.

how is anything i said an assumption?

1. You assume that infinity is able to increase the probability of a black flash
2. You assume that gojo is capble of reliably using infinity in that way
3. You're assuming that using infinity in this way is either less demanding or more efficient than using blue/red
None of those assumptions are based on anything that we actually see in the story. There's also nothing which contradicts it, but based on how characters act it seems like the default stance should be that one or more of those assumptions are false.

neither is dismantling or cleaving

I think we see the reasonable limit of what is possible with sukuna's technique. In general it's fairly unrefined
If anything you could say much more about megumi's shadows technique (not the shikigami) which sukuna uses very conservatively compared to its potential.

? Gojo lost multiple times there and Sukuna could have carbonized him the first time, but decided to wait

The one who didn't get cut in half by an enemy that had to preserve energy, techniques, trump cards, for the next fights

character named go job

jobs

Say it ain't so.
