Jujutsu Kaisen, the popular manga series by Gege Akutami, has unveiled a significant power upgrade for Sukuna, the ultimate antagonist. This boost has the potential to tip the scales in his favor as he prepares for a climactic clash with Gojo, one of the series’ strongest characters. Let’s explore the recent developments in Jujutsu Kaisen and how they set the stage for an epic showdown.

Sukuna’s Power Accumulation:

Spoilers alert! Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 222 introduces various characters making preparations for the impending battle between Gojo and Sukuna. To maximize Sukuna’s power, Uraume embarks on a mission to locate the remaining fingers of the King of Curses. These fingers hold fragments of Sukuna’s immense power, which initially allowed him to possess Yuji, the protagonist. While Uraume successfully finds all but one finger, Sukuna suspects that Gojo possesses the missing one. Nevertheless, Sukuna compensates for this setback by consuming his original body’s mummified corpse, discovered by Kenjaku in Chapter 220.

Sukuna’s Alarming Power Increase:

Sukuna’s decision to devour his own corpse, although repulsive, aligns with the series’ overarching narrative. Prior to the Shibuya Incident and Culling Game arcs, the primary objective was for Yuji to consume all of Sukuna’s fingers, as they wreaked havoc across Japan. Each finger amplified Sukuna’s strength, making it increasingly challenging for Yuji to restrain him. Now that Sukuna resides in Megumi’s body, each additional finger and body part devoured transforms him into an overwhelmingly formidable force that Megumi alone cannot overcome. Consequently, Gojo faces an even greater threat in their impending clash.

The Daunting Task Of Overcoming Gojo:

Gojo VS Sukuna

While Sukuna’s power boost is substantial, it remains uncertain if it will be sufficient to defeat Gojo. Despite recently returning from the prison realm, Gojo exhibited his unparalleled strength and abilities during a brief encounter with Sukuna and Kenjaku. Gojo’s Limitless ability is notoriously difficult to overcome, and even at full strength, Sukuna will undoubtedly face a formidable challenge. Therefore, in order to maintain an engaging final battle, Sukuna necessitated significant upgrades, despite his inherent power.

The Potential Outcome:

Sukuna’s Triumph? In many ways, Jujutsu Kaisen’s narrative has focused on raising Sukuna’s power to a level where he can compete with Gojo. This development raises concerns for the protagonists, as it hints at a possible victory for Sukuna in the upcoming fight against Gojo. Such an outcome would then require the comparatively weaker heroes to join forces and take down Sukuna. Regardless of who ultimately defeats him, Sukuna’s latest power upgrade solidifies his position as potentially the most potent character in Jujutsu Kaisen.

With Sukuna’s recent power boost, Jujutsu Kaisen sets the stage for an intense showdown between Sukuna and Gojo. As the series approaches its climactic battle, the protagonist’s formidable adversary becomes an even more menacing force to be reckoned with. The outcome of this encounter remains uncertain, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the resolution of this epic conflict in Jujutsu Kaisen.
