Gojo vs. Yuki – Who Is More Powerful & Who Would Win in a Fight?

The anime series Jujutsu Kaisen is renowned for its strong leads and amazing battles, some of which rank among the greatest animated in anime history. After the first season debuted and the prequel movie became a big hit, the second season is presently airing, and while we’re waiting for new episodes, we’ve decided to compare two incredibly strong characters from the series, one of them being the show’s most popular character, and the other probably being the show’s most powerful female character. Both are Special Grade jujutsu sorcerers, making this duel even more fun. The characters in question are Satoru Gojo and Yuki Tsukumo, and in this article, you will find out who would win between them.

Despite Yuki being quite powerful, Satoru Gojo would win this one. Satoru Gojo has been described as the series’ most powerful character, and while Yuki is likewise a Special Grade sorceress, Gojo is a standard above all other S-Grades due to his amazing skills (in fact, Sukuna is the only one who could potentially match him). It would definitely be an interesting fight with lots of twists and turns, but Gojo would, by all means, probably win this fight.

Now that you have the short version of the answer, we are going to provide you with a detailed category-by-category analysis of the issue, presenting the characters in questions to you and giving you a point-by-point analysis that is going to help you understand why Yuki Tsukumo would ultimately lose to Satoru Gojo in a direct fight, despite both of them being exceptionally powerful Special Grade jujutsu sorcerers.

Overall skills

Satoru Gojo is reputed to be one of the series’ most powerful sorcerers, if not the most powerful, and he possesses both enormous quantities of cursed energy and a potentially lethal method. While still students, Satoru and Suguru were regarded as “the strongest,” capable of defeating more seasoned and senior Curses and Jujutsu Sorcerers.

Satoru’s power significantly improved after discovering the extent of his abilities and honing them to the point where he was able to defeat Toji Fushiguro, who had previously been able to effortlessly overwhelm both him and Suguru Geto while they were still students at Jujutsu High.

As he grew, he surpassed Suguru’s strength, and the latter acknowledged that Satoru had indeed emerged as the “only strongest.” Suguru said that, unlike him, Satoru was capable of annihilating the whole human race on his own had he wanted to. He also claims to be able to beat Sukuna at the height of the latter’s abilities.

Yuki Tsukumo is a Special Grade Jujutsu sorcerer and is thus considered one of the strongest in the series. Special Grades are rare, and Yuki is, alongside Gojo, Geto, and Yuta, the only known Special Grade jujutsu sorcerer in the series. Her methods of fighting are extremely unorthodox, and she does not agree with the ideology and methodology of the higher-ups, which is why she is considered to be a maverick who does not take on any missions.

On the other hand, she cannot be considered a villain, and she only wants a world without curses, but she simply doesn’t agree with how the higher-ups are dealing with the issue.

Despite not being a teacher at Jujutsu High, she is a great master, and she actually taught Aoi Tod to become the powerful and skilled Grade 1 sorcerer that he is, which shows just how skilled and proficient she is. She is able to use her innate technique, barrier techniques, and domain expansion. She also has some amazing fighting skills, as she parried the powerful Kenjaku in battle and came very close to actually slaying him when the two of them clashed.

Ultimately, the decision here wasn’t that difficult. Sure, we cannot deny Yuki’s skills and abilities, but compared to Gojo, she wouldn’t cut it in the end. Gojo is far stronger than the other Special Grades, Yuki included, so he clearly wins this one.

Points: Gojo 1, Yuki 0

Jujutsu

Satoru is regarded as the most potent sorcerer in the jujutsu community. He acquired this alias due to the vast quantities of cursed energy and potent skills he wields. Satoru’s cursed energy is sufficiently large compared to other exorcists’ to allow for numerous daily uses of Domain Expansion. He can use the inversion spell, activate his Domain Extension in a split second, and even combine good and negative cursed energy under his expert control.

Gojo’s cursed technique (Jujutsu) is known as Limitless. It is an inherited technique among the members of the Gojo Clan. It has a series of forms, and based on these forms, it rises in level, allowing the precise manipulation of space at the atomic level, giving multiple results and subsequent techniques within the general capacity.

As a fundamental level of the technique, the manipulation of space, it has three standard forms and one “non-standard” that extends beyond the boundless. He is physically quite strong, which makes him stand out in close-quarters battles, although his preferred method of assault is usually from a distance.

Because Yuki is a Special Grade jujutsu sorceress, her amounts of cursed energy are considered to be exceptionally high, which also improved all of her skills and abilities. The difference between her and a regular Grade 1 jujutsu sorcerer is so enormous that it wouldn’t really be fair to compare them. Due to this, she can easily switch between using her innate, reverse cursed, and anti-domain techniques in a single fight.

Her Innate Technique is called Star Rage and allows her to add additional virtual mass to her and her Shikigami, whose name is Garuda, making their attacks stronger and more devastating. She is also able to use the Reverse Cursed Technique, as well as create a Simple Domain. She also has the ability to expand her own Domain, but this one has not been seen yet. Her special move consists of her turning into an all-destructive black hole, a move she used against Kenjaku.

And while it is definitely difficult to fully evaluate Yuki’s skills and abilities due to her never showing her Domain Expansion, we think that even with it, she wouldn’t be a match for Gojo, whose powers are truly extraordinary.

Points: Gojo 2, Yuki 0

Fighting skills

Satoru is a terrifying martial art expert with tremendous physical prowess to complement his skills and his overpowering amount of cursed energy. In a fight, he could utterly dominate Jogo and land several pinpoint hits on the Curse’s vital points. Even in close quarters, he could overwhelm Jogo and Hanami, easily fending off their attempts and striking them with heavy punches that rapidly brought them to their knees. After activating his full power, he could also parry Toji, the guy who had defeated him earlier, with relative ease.

Thanks to her Innate Technique, Yuki can give herself great physical strength to the point that with a punch, she can destroy Kenjaku’s arms and throw him a great distance, even breaking the floor and sending him flying off to another room. Yuki continued fighting even with a shattered arm and was able, even under such circumstances, to create the black hole she used against Kenjaku; she was also able to resist him and hold him tight even when split in half.

This added to the fact that she can recover with the Reverse Cursed Technique, significantly increasing her overall durability in battle. Her abilities equaled those of Kenjaku, maintaining a good hand-to-hand fight with him without disadvantages. She is also exceptionally fast and can easily be considered one of the best fighters in the series; she also taught Todo basically everything he knows.

Were the two of them younger, we’d probably split the points here, but Gojo has, in the meantime, become so powerful that even Yuki couldn’t really parry him in combat, so Gojo wins this one as well.

Points: Gojo 3, Yuki 0

Intelligence

Satoru demonstrated excellent tactical skills and the ability to ascertain an opponent’s plans with just the right amount of information. Additionally, he has demonstrated a remarkable capacity for adaptation by being able to effectively counter and defeat practically every enemy he has encountered thus far.

Yuki is generally considered to be an exceptionally intelligent and keen person. Her personal ideology is the result of a lot of thought, and her line of reasoning is basically impeccable. On top of that, she has proven herself to be a tactical genius, and had some other aspects not failed, and she would have outwitted even Kenjaku when they fought.

This is the only category where we ultimately decided to split the points, as we couldn’t determine the winner, as both characters in question are geniuses.

Points: Gojo 4, Yuki 1

Yuki might be powerful, but Gojo is on a completely different level

The points were clear here, and we can only agree with them – Satoru Gojo is the clear winner. This is not to say that Yuki is weak, but Gojo is on a completely different level. As Nanami once said, Gojo cannot be followed; no one can succeed in keeping up with him because Gojo simply cannot be kept up with, which is why we had to declare him the winner in this one.
