It's no secret that, despite being a side character, Gojo Satoru is undoubtedly the face of the entire Jujutsu Kaisen franchise. From the early days of the series, his striking appearance and infectious personality set him apart as the most recognizable and beloved character, who also just happened to be the most powerful in the setting.

Due to his immense strength, no one had ever been able to challenge him or give him a good enough fight. However, by the end of the franchise as a whole, especially with Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, fans have gotten a bit more insight into the only ones who could possibly defeat Gojo, so let's take a look at who they are.

Jujutsu Kaisen: 8 Match-Ups Yuji Would 100% Lose

Yuji is the main character of Jujutsu Kaisen, but there are a few match-ups that he would definitely lose.

Sukuna Is The Only One To Take Down Gojo

The King of Curses

Before we begin to discuss those who could possibly defeat Gojo, we must look at the only person who actually did so. At the tail end of the original series, the strongest sorcerer of the modern day went up against the strongest sorcerer of all time in arguably the greatest battle ever put to the manga page, which ultimately led to Sukuna's victory.

However, it can't at all be said that this was an easy fight, as this altercation proved to be the greatest challenge in Sukuna's 1000+ years of existence. Utilizing every trick in his playbook and spamming Binding Vows like they were nothing, Sukuna poured everything he had in order to defeat Gojo by only a hair's breadth, not only proving his own strength, but also cementing Gojo's.

Modulo Yuji Is Likely The Strongest Of All Time

The Jujutsu Prodigy

One of the biggest surprises of Modulo wasn't only that Yuji was still alive, but he was still youthful and remained in his prime for all the decades following the end of the original series. Although the series only hinted at his immense strength and true powers, what was shown was easily enough to put him on the same level as Gojo and Sukuna.

Showing a mastery over techniques such as Shrine and Blood Manipulation that not even Sukuna did, Yuji was able to pull some insane feats that showed unparalleled prowess in Cursed Energy manipulation and control. Many believe that, due to all these years of using traces of Sukuna's own power that were in his body, Yuji was able to make full use of them to become the actual strongest sorcerer of all time.

Dabura Is The Most Prodigious Sorcerer Ever

The Strongest Simurian

Modulo introduced the greatest Jujutsu prodigy of all time, who proved himself to be far above the likes of even Gojo and Higuruma in this respect. Dabura's power is the weaponization of light itself, which not only allows him to manipulate it into powerful beams that can eviscerate everything, but also lets him move at unfathomable speeds to deal devastating damage.

Of course, the main thing that most will point to is the fact that Dabura currently has no means of getting through Gojo's Infinity. However, seeing as how he was able to unlock Reverse Cursed Technique, Cursed Technique Reversal, and Domain Expansion in his first-ever serious fight, it's unreasonable to assume that Domain Amplification or any other means of bypassing Infinity wouldn't be available to him in a hypothetical battle against the Limitless sorcerer.

Takaba Could Defeat Anyone If He Knew What He Was Doing

The Comedian

In a world full of overpowered sorcerers with the ability to cut space itself or have impenetrable barriers that protect them from all harm, the actual strongest ability belongs to someone who doesn't even know how it works. This ability is called The Comedian and belongs to the fan-favorite character, Fumihiko Takaba.

Essentially, The Comedian is a reality-warping technique that can do whatever Takaba wants as long as he finds it funny. As the series explained, Takaba can even turn off Gojo's Infinity and make him spontaneously blow up, marking him as someone beyond a Special Grade threat. However, the caveat is that Takaba has no idea how this technique works, so he can never really control it.

Honorable Mention: Megumi Fushiguro

Incredible Potential

Now for a pick that is sure to make some people laugh, Megumi Fushiguro had the potential to become Jujutsu Kaisen's strongest character, and this was stated by Gojo himself. Although the hilarious 'Potential Man' memes within the community are definitely apt to show Megumi's trajectory in the story, it should be remembered that the Ten Shadows is one of the strongest techniques.

Gojo recalled a story from many centuries ago of when a Ten Shadows user and a Limitless user with the Six Eyes fought, leading to their deaths due to the unmatched strength of Mahoraga. If Megumi were ever to tame Mahoraga, he could have defeated Gojo, just as Sukuna did so himself. Of course, this remains wishful thinking and speculation, but if this is something that Gojo himself stated, then it is categorically true.
