What If Gojo was NEVER SEALED In Shibuya?

Summary

This video explores a detailed 'what if' scenario in Jujutsu Kaisen, imagining an alternate Shibuya Incident where Gojo Satoru faces a fully awakened Sukuna inhabiting Yuji Itadori's body. It examines the tactical and emotional challenges Gojo faces, including crowd-filled environments, restrictions on large-scale attacks, and his reluctance to harm Yuji. The analysis delves into domain clashes, power scaling, and strategic limitations, highlighting how Gojo leverages his Six Eyes and limited-duration Unlimited Void to gain the upper hand. The scenario provides a thoughtful, realistic look at combat logistics and character behavior, offering fans a compelling alternative timeline that stays true to the series’ core themes.

Takeaways

• 😀 Gojo faces significant challenges in Shibuya due to the presence of civilians and the risk of collateral damage during his fight with Sukuna.
• 😀 Gojo is forced into a more defensive strategy, unable to use large-scale attacks like Hollow Purple or Reverse Red due to the potential harm they would cause to civilians.
• 😀 The fight between Gojo and Sukuna is complicated by Sukuna inhabiting Yuji's body, making it emotionally difficult for Gojo to engage fully.
• 😀 Gojo's Infinity is his main advantage, but the sheer scale of the battle and the potential for unintended harm limits his effectiveness.
• 😀 Sukuna, even at less than full power (20 fingers), can still match Gojo in a domain clash, indicating their battle would be evenly matched at that level.
• 😀 Gojo's six eyes allow him to anticipate the outcome of domain clashes, which could help him strategize, but the situation still poses significant risks.
• 😀 Sukuna's Malevolent Shrine domain would clash with Gojo's Unlimited Void, but Sukuna's slower activation time and reduced power would likely lead to him losing the clash.
• 😀 The fight is occurring in a confined space (Shibuya Station), which further complicates Gojo's strategy as he cannot afford to risk widespread destruction.
• 😀 Non-sorcerers trapped in the area complicate Gojo's actions, as he cannot risk turning them into vegetables with Unlimited Void, a technique that would affect everyone in its radius.
• 😀 Kinjaku, Mahito, Jogo, and other curse users may not prioritize supporting Sukuna in this scenario and might consider their own survival as the fight drags on.

Q & A

What challenges does Gojo face in this alternate timeline during the Shibuya Incident?

Gojo faces multiple challenges in this alternate timeline. The main issues stem from the need to fight Sakuna while being forced into a defensive playstyle due to the presence of civilians in the area. Gojo cannot use large-scale attacks like Hollow Purple or Reversal Red, as they would harm civilians. Additionally, Gojo’s fight is complicated by the fact that Sakuna is inhabiting Yuji’s body, making it emotionally difficult for Gojo to attack without hesitation.

Why can't Gojo use his domain expansion, Unlimited Void, effectively in this scenario?

Gojo can’t use Unlimited Void effectively because the station is filled with civilians and non-sorcerers. If he activates his domain, everyone within it would be turned into a vegetable in seconds. He must avoid activating the domain in such a densely populated area, as it would cause massive collateral damage.

How does Gojo’s Infinity give him an advantage in this scenario against Sakuna?

Gojo's Infinity gives him a defensive edge, allowing him to control the space around him and prevent Sakuna from attacking directly. However, his main limitation is not being able to use large-scale offensive techniques, as the environment is too dangerous for such attacks. Infinity, while powerful, doesn't automatically guarantee victory, especially with Sakuna’s vast abilities.

What would happen if Sakuna’s Malevolent Shrine and Gojo’s Unlimited Void clashed in this situation?

If Sakuna’s Malevolent Shrine and Gojo’s Unlimited Void clashed, they would likely clash evenly, as they did during the original battle at 20 fingers. However, given that Sakuna is not at his full 20-finger strength, Gojo’s Infinity and domain would likely overpower Sakuna’s, causing him to lose control over Yuji’s body and potentially leading to his defeat.

How does Gojo’s emotional attachment to Yuji complicate the situation?

Gojo’s emotional attachment to Yuji complicates the situation because he can’t bring himself to treat Yuji as an enemy in the same way he would with others like Megumi or Toji. This emotional burden could weaken Gojo’s resolve, making him hesitant in his actions. His past training helped him prepare for fighting people like Megumi, but Yuji, and by extension Sakuna in his body, present a moral and emotional dilemma for Gojo.

Why is it problematic for Gojo to use large-scale attacks like Hollow Purple or Reversal Red?

Large-scale attacks like Hollow Purple and Reversal Red are problematic because they output immense amounts of cursed energy. If used in Shibuya, they would likely eliminate large portions of the civilian population, which Gojo cannot allow. This makes it impossible for him to rely on his most destructive techniques, putting him at a severe disadvantage against Sakuna.

What role does Shoko play in Gojo’s strategy during the fight with Sakuna?

Shoko plays a crucial role by providing Gojo with insights into how his domain will interact with other domains. With her knowledge, Gojo can determine whether his Unlimited Void would clash effectively with Sakuna’s Malevolent Shrine. Her expertise helps Gojo strategize and anticipate the potential outcomes of a domain clash, crucial for Gojo’s decision-making.

How does the presence of non-sorcerers in the station affect Gojo’s decision-making?

The presence of non-sorcerers in the station heavily restricts Gojo’s options. He must carefully manage the risk of collateral damage, knowing that any large-scale attacks or domain expansions will turn innocent people into casualties. This forces Gojo to rely on a more cautious and defensive approach rather than utilizing his full offensive power.

What impact does the barrier's timing have on the situation during the Shibuya Incident?

The barrier’s timing is critical because it drops just minutes before the battle, leaving civilians and non-sorcerers trapped in the area. Gojo and Sakuna cannot afford to engage in large-scale attacks or domain clashes until the civilians are cleared, making the environment highly hazardous. This increases the urgency for Gojo to end the fight quickly while protecting others.

What is the ultimate resolution for Gojo in this alternate timeline?

In this alternate timeline, Gojo ultimately resorts to using his Infinity and a brief activation of Unlimited Void to suppress Sakuna’s Malevolent Shrine. Given Sakuna’s weakened state (not being at full 20-finger strength), this clash leads to Sakuna losing control of Yuji’s body. With Sakuna incapacitated, Gojo is able to clear the area, and the remaining antagonists like Kinjaku and others are eventually exercised.
