Who is the strongest character in Jujutsu Kaisen?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Who is the strongest character in Jujutsu Kaisen?". Your opponent's style: Devils Advocate

The strongest Jujutsu Kaisen character is Satoru Gojo.

You're naming the most *obvious* choice, which is exactly where your argument collapses. Gojo's strength is overwhelmingly *defensive*—Limitless and Six Eyes make him untouchable, not unstoppable. He's never actually defeated a raw power threat; he neutralized Jogo and Toji through technique and speed, not overwhelming force. Sukuna, by contrast, *destroys* through sheer output. His Dismantle cuts through anything. Gojo can't offend his way through a being who matches his speed and regenerates infinitely. You're confusing "hardest to kill" with "strongest." Why assume durability beats raw destructive capacity?

You must understand Destructive Capacity does not equal Attack Power or Attack Potency. Ryomen Sukuna is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with, but cannot defeat the Honored One. In their fight against each other, Gojo was crowned the winner, with Sukuna being on his last straw. Gojo, on the other hand, was still up, standing, and of course, smiling. This paints the picture that "Yes, Gojo could continue fighting if Sukuna were up to it." Sukuna only won due to World Cutting Slash.

You're cherry-picking a *narrative moment*, not an actual fight conclusion. Gojo never fought Sukuna at full power—Sukuna was fragmented across vessels, and their actual encounter ended with Sukuna's World Cutting Slash doing exactly what you just admitted: it worked. That's not a technicality. That's proof Sukuna found Gojo's weakness. Gojo's smile means nothing when he's bisected. You're arguing Gojo "would win if Sukuna couldn't use his strongest attack," which is circular logic. Strip away limitations and Sukuna's destructive output still exceeds Gojo's defensive capacity. One technique ended the fight. Why does that not count as decisive?

He did fight him at Full Power, what, did you not read the fight? Sukuna was at maximum output, having 19 fingers but eating the remains of his mummified corpse to put him at maximum output in return for that final finger. The WCS isn't even his attack, it's Mahoraga. Even if you consider it his attack, that does not mean he is stronger. For example, if a man pulls a gun on a body builder, this gun is part of his arsenal, but does not make the man stronger than the body builder.

Your gun analogy backfires catastrophically. The bodybuilder dies anyway—intent doesn't matter, outcome does. Sukuna didn't "pull a gun," he deployed his *signature technique*, the one thing designed to cut the untouchable. Mahoraga's adaptation was his *power*, not an external tool. You're desperately separating Sukuna's abilities from Sukuna himself to preserve Gojo's dominance. But strength isn't compartmentalized—it's what you can actually do. Sukuna did it. Gojo fell. Calling WCS "not really his attack" is semantic gymnastics. He used it. It won. Full power or not, the result proves Sukuna's output exceeded Gojo's defense. Why does the mechanism matter more than the outcome?

Mahoragas power was Megumis power, not Sukunas. And my claim was Gojo is the strongest, you've made a whole new claim that I am not trying to disprove. YOU are the challenger here.

You're right—I shifted the burden. But your original claim collapsed when you conceded Sukuna's technique killed Gojo. You then argued that doesn't make Sukuna stronger, which is incoherent. If A defeats B, A is stronger in that matchup. You've pivoted to semantic arguments about whether WCS "really counts" instead of defending why Gojo remains strongest after losing. Mahoraga's power belongs to Sukuna the moment he uses it—that's how strength works. You need a concrete reason Gojo surpasses a being who demonstrably ended him. "He could keep fighting if Sukuna couldn't attack" isn't it. What actually makes Gojo stronger?

No. The average man pulls a knife and kills a lion. Does this mean the man is stronger than the lion? Absolutely not. He managed to kill it, not decisively be stronger than one. You ask what makes Gojo stronger, when Im telling you. He actively took a 3v1, and was dominating the fight even after being pushed to the defense when Sukuna used Mahoraga to adapt to his infinity.

Your lion analogy proves the opposite. The man *is* functionally stronger in combat—he won. But Gojo's 3v1 was against weakened opponents, not Sukuna at full power in direct combat. Sukuna adapted to Infinity itself, then ended Gojo. That's not "pushing to defense," that's systematic dismantling. You're measuring strength by how long Gojo lasted, not by who actually won. A boxer who gets knocked out in round 10 isn't stronger than his opponent because he stayed conscious longer. Sukuna's output broke Gojo's defense. You still haven't explained why endurance matters more than the knockout.

Im not denying Sukuna didn't die. That does not mean that he is stronger than Gojo.

Then you're claiming Gojo is stronger despite losing decisively. That's not an argument, it's denial. Strength in combat means capacity to overcome opponents. Sukuna overcame Gojo. Period. You can't separate "who won" from "who's stronger"—they're identical in practice. Saying Gojo's superior in some abstract way while Sukuna literally killed him is meaningless posturing. Define "stronger" without referencing actual combat outcomes. You can't, because it defaults to who wins fights. Sukuna did. Your position requires strength to exist independent of results, which is indefensible.
