Jujutsu Kaisen’s 40th episode is gearing up to be a season highlight in the second season. The real Shibuya incident is right around the corner, and for those who thought Gojo going feral was the peak of this season, get ready for an epic showdown between Jogo and Sukuna.
But what if the Jogo vs. Sukuna battle had happened a bit earlier in the story? Would Jogo have had a fighting chance? Considering the outcome of Gojo’s final battle against Sukuna—despite the fact that he completely outclassed Sukuna when the curse was at just one finger—we can’t help but wonder if Jogo might have had a fighting chance under altered circumstances.
Jogo vs Sukuna at 1 Finger:
A face-off between Jogo and Sukuna (when Sukuna was down to just one finger) might not be the most exciting fight in Jujutsu Kaisen. But while Jogo wouldn’t have dominated Sukuna as impressively as Gojo did, he probably could have won with relatively less difficulty.
- It’s important to note that Sukuna with just one finger is a small part of his full power. So, while it wouldn’t be a simple victory, Jogo would have had a decent chance of winning.
Jogo vs Sukuna at 3 Fingers (Cursed Womb Arc):
During the Cursed Womb arc, Yuji had absorbed a total of three of Sukuna’s fingers, and this is where the showdown between Jogo and Sukuna starts getting risky for Jogo. We’ve seen that Sukuna with three fingers can effortlessly handle special grade curses. It’s an impressive feat, but let’s not underestimate Jogo here.
- Jogo is undeniably one of the strongest curses on Kenjaku’s team. He’s more than capable of taking on most special grade sorcerers. So, while this wouldn’t be a walk in the park, if Jogo found himself in a dire situation, he could potentially hold his own against Sukuna at 3 fingers.
JJK Ep 40: Jogo vs Sukuna at 15 fingers (Shibuya Incident Arc):
Be warned, the following section contains spoilers for both the Jujutsu Kaisen manga and an upcoming anime episode.
Despite Jogo’s valiant efforts, he proves to be no match for Sukuna when the curse possesses 15 fingers. Sukuna stands tall and decides to use Jogo’s own unique ability in the battle. He commands Jogo’s flames and unleashes a mysterious power that takes Jogo by surprise. Sukuna recognizes that a cursed spirit like Jogo wouldn’t be aware of this ability and challenges his opponent to a fiery showdown.
- Unfortunately for Jogo, he can’t even land a single blow on Sukuna. The King of Curses is on a whole different level, and while Jogo may put up a commendable fight, he’s essentially like a plaything in Sukuna’s hands. Sukuna carries on, enjoying the situation, and in the process, fulfills his sinister intentions, resulting in the loss of countless lives.
Jogo vs Sukuna at Prime:
Regrettably, when it comes to a face-off between Jogo and Sukuna at their peaks, there’s simply no comparison. Sukuna boasts an unimaginable level of strength. Just recall how effortlessly Gojo handled Jogo during their initial encounter. Gojo didn’t even break a sweat.
- In comparison, when Sukuna faced Gojo (who was giving his all), he didn’t even need to use his real Cursed Technique to do the job, making it clear that Jogo would have no chance.
The manga has yet to reveal the true extent of Sukuna’s power, but it’s apparent that the Jujutsu Kaisen characters are in for the most horrifying experience of their lives. This begs the question: Could Yuji possibly hope to defeat him? Jogo certainly can’t.
Conclusion:
As Jujutsu Kaisen’s second season unfolds, the anticipation for the Shibuya incident and the impending Jogo vs. Sukuna clash continues to build. The question of whether Jogo could have stood a chance against Sukuna under different circumstances remains a topic of intrigue for fans.
While Gojo’s dominance over Sukuna with just one finger showcases the immense power of this world, it also leaves us with the realization that the Jujutsu Kaisen universe is teeming with formidable forces, making us eager to witness the epic battles that lie ahead. As the story unfolds, we can only wait in anticipation to see how these powerful characters will ultimately shape the fate of the Jujutsu Kaisen world.
