Summary
Gojo’s Limitless Technique distorts space, rendering him invincible against cursed spirits. Yet, Sukuna defeated Gojo using Mahoraga’s adaptability and his own intelligence. Limitless reflects Gojo’s isolation and his identity as Jujutsu Kaisen’s strongest wizard, defining his character arc.
Among the myriad of skilled Jujutsu sorcerers, Satoru Gojo stands as the unrivaled master of the Limitless technique. Referred to as the strongest wizard, Gojo owes much of his reputation to the formidable Limitless technique. Similar to the Six Eyes, Limitless is an inherited power in the Gojo family and is most potent when combined with the Six Eyes. Unlike his kin, Gojo is uniquely gifted, born with both Limitless and the Six Eyes, earning him the title of the most powerful wizard of his era.
Transforming the concept of infinity into reality, Limitless enables the manipulation of space at will, proving indispensable against special-grade cursed spirits.
Gojo’s Limitless: Jujutsu Kaisen’s Pinnacle of Power
Gojo elucidates infinity, explaining that an infinite series convergence prevents direct contact from opponents, as any attack hits infinity itself. This concept mirrors the Achilles Paradox, where a hero theoretically cannot catch a tortoise due to infinite finite spaces separating them. Limitless also halts any force attempting to breach infinity. Gojo wields Cursed Technique Lapse (Blue) and Cursed Technique Reversal (Red), offering potent long-range attacks. Blue generates attraction and cursed energy, enabling intense gravitational assaults or super speed, enhancing physical strikes. Red counters with repulsive force, equally lethal. Combining Blue and Red creates Hollow Purple, a destructive energy explosion, Gojo’s most powerful regular technique.
Explaining Gojo’s Domain Expansion
Beyond Limitless, Gojo’s domain expansion, Unlimited Void, overwhelms foes with infinite knowledge, rendering them catatonic and easily vanquished. The Six Eyes reduce his cursed energy consumption to nearly zero, allowing multiple uses of Unlimited Void before exhaustion. Despite these capabilities, Gojo fell to Sukuna due to Mahoraga’s adaptation.
How Gojo was Defeated in Jujutsu Kaisen Despite Limitless
Mahoraga circumvented Limitless. Sukuna targeted the space Gojo occupied, severing space-time itself. This required a binding oath to extend the range, proving Sukuna’s strategic brilliance. Without Mahoraga and Ten Shadows, Sukuna would likely have failed to bypass Limitless. Before Gojo’s death in Chapter 236, fans anticipated his victory as Sukuna endured Hollow Purple. Without Mahoraga, the battle might have ended swiftly, even if Sukuna unleashed Divine Flame, whose heat may not have surpassed Limitless.
Why Limitless is the Perfect Force for Gojo
Limitless elevated Gojo to the zenith of the Jujutsu world, but with immense power came profound isolation. Gojo’s strength, creating a world imbalance, also isolated him from humanity. Limitless metaphorically reflects Gojo’s social and emotional distance. Few have bridged this gap to truly know him. Without Limitless, Gojo’s character would be fundamentally different. This power shapes him as the iconic, overpowered, yet endearing teacher, ensuring his legacy endures in Jujutsu Kaisen and among his fans.
