Satoru Gojo is among the strongest characters in the Jujutsu Kaisen franchise and a character that can overpower all known characters from his own franchise. But, how good is he when compared to a character from another universe, Kakashi Hatake? Who is stronger between the two? Who would win in a fight between Gojo and Kakashi?
The fight between Gojo and Kakashi would end in a draw. While Kakashi might not be as powerful as Naruto, he is still exceptionally skilled and has enough experience to stand his ground in a fight. Gojo’s techniques might be powers, but so are Kakashi’s, which is why there is no outright winner in this situation, as it all depends on the situation.
Now that you have the short version of the answer, the rest of the article is going to be divided into three sections, with the first two introducing the characters, their powers and their abilities. In the end, we’re going to give our final verdict and explanation on why the fight between Kakashi Katake and Satoru Gojo is a draw.
Satoru Gojo and His Powers
Satoru Gojo is the teacher of the first-year class of the Tokyo school of magic, which consists of the three main characters from the series, Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, and Nobara Kugisaki. Despite being considered the strongest sorcerer, he is portrayed as a fool who has little respect for his superiors.
Jujutsu
Gojo’s cursed technique (Jujutsu) is known as the Infinite Curse Technique. 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.
With the manipulation of space as a basic level of the technique, it has three standard forms and one “non-standard” that goes beyond the limitless.
Fighting Skills and Physical Powers
He possesses a great level of physical strength, which allows him to stand out during close combat, however, he is the type that is usually dedicated to ranged attacks.
He is able to tear off limbs, exert force on others very easily and with simple blows, he is able to throw his opponent several meters away. His strength allows him to face curses, even of a special degree, without much trouble and with his powerful blows he is capable of causing serious injuries to his opponents.
Abilities
He was shown to be able to move faster than the eye can perceive, and in his greatest feat of speed, he traveled a great distance from a fight and was back on the battlefield before his opponent realized he was even gone. first.
Added to this superhuman speed, her reflexes allow him to avoid situations that threaten her life and to be able to avoid them without requiring much effort. When he’s subjected to his outbursts of madness, both his speed and his reflexes are beyond logical. He becomes able to move through the space around him as if he were part of it.
Kakashi Hatake and His Powers
Kakashi Hatake is a fictional character from the manga and anime series Naruto, written and drawn by mangaka Masashi Kishimoto. A shinobi instructor, he mentors Naruto and later becomes the Sixth Hokage. He has a medium and athletic build, with a height of 1.81m and a weight of 74kg.
Techniques
The most powerful technique of his, moreover of his own invention, is the Chidori, an accumulation of chakra transformed into electricity on the palm of the hand that can pierce the enemy with a single blow.
Despite the great power, however, being a technique to be performed at very high speed, if you do not have the Sharingan it is very difficult to hit the enemy, as a possible counterattack cannot be foreseen.
Kakashi can also use the Recall Technique to summon eight ninja dogs, useful both for attacking and for finding the enemy but also for sending information; the most used of the eight dogs is Pakkun.
Sharingan
Kakashi obtained the Sharingan during the Third Great Ninja War when it was given to him by his companion Obito Uchiha, after being left under a boulder just to save Kakashi, to replace his wounded left eye: since then he has used it to copy – it is said – more than a thousand techniques.
However, since he is not part of the Uchiha clan he cannot deactivate it; in fact, in order not to waste energy when he is not using it, he keeps it covered with the forehead cover.
Satoru Gojo Vs. Kakashi Hatake: Who Wins?
The worlds of Jujutsu Kaisen and Naruto are quite different in many ways, which is why we have to conclude that Gojo and Kakashi don’t really fight in the same manner. They’re both good in hand-to-hand combat, that is true, but where Gojo actually focuses on his exorcist skills, Kakashi’s main focus are his powerful chakra techniques.
Even if you could compare these two techniques in one way or the other, they’re essentially too different to be compared equally. This is why we had to approach this comparison the way we did.
The conclusion here is the same as it was in our comparison of Satoru Gojo and Naruto Uzumaki. Before we explain it, we have to explain why that is. Namely, Kakashi and Naruto are very much alike.
Sure, Naruto has surpassed his former master’s skills, but Kakashi taught Naruto the basics and although they have different fighting styles, they’re essentially the same. This is why the same conclusion from that analysis also applies to this one. Let us reiterate them once more.
As we’ve said, the comparison between Gojo and Naruto was a tough one, but those conclusions helped us analyze this pair. Namely, as we now know, in terms of hand-to-hand combat, both Gojo and Kakashi are very skilled combatants, but the latter, as a trained shinobi, would certainly overpower Gojo, despite all of his amazing fighting skills.
But, the fact remains that neither of them actually focuses on their hand-to-hand combat skills, i.e., they both have a special power they use in difficult situations and this fight would certainly be such an occasion.
Gojo’s special technique is, of course, his Infinity Void technique, and for Kakashi, those would be his various chakra-based techniques. Now, if Gojo were to attack Kakashi with his Infinite technique he would win. But, at the same time, if Kakashi were to attack Gojo with his strongest chakra technique, he would win as well. Neither Gojo nor Kakashi have a clear advantage here, as neither of these two techniques are ultimately invincible and there is a way around them.
This is why the outcome would depend on the flow of the battle and the state of the fighters, which, in turn, means that we cannot actually determine the clear winner here. In one situation, Kakashi might find a way to avoid Gojo’s technique and overpower him, while in another situation, it would be vice versa.
This is why, ultimately, we had to put this one down as a draw, as it best reflects the true state of things.
