Every good Shonen anime needs a great sensei to break the power scale established by the main character in the first few episodes. Without a sensei, characters like Goku and Gon never would have known how to push themselves past their first few obstacles. Yuji Itadori is the same. Despite gaining immense power by inviting the king of curses into his body, Yuji still needs Gojo.
Without Gojo sensei, Yuji never could have learned to channel cursed energy. On top of that, Yuji may one day master his own domain expansion thanks to Gojo. Satoru is incredible, but how would he match up against other popular anime sensei?
10 Could Beat: Satoru Gojo Beats Biscuit Kruger (Hunter X Hunter) With His Domain Infinite Void
To truly understand how powerful Satoru Gojo is, readers first have to understand a bit about his inherited cursed technique. Limitless gives members of the Gojo family a powerful awareness of Space. Gojo is so aware of the space around him that he can manipulate atoms with his cursed energy.
Satoru Gojo’s dirtiest trick, which easily takes Bisky off the board, involves giving his enemies a chance to look at the world through his eyes. Once Bisky has seen the Infinite Void, Gojo has secured his victory. Only those that can avoid Gojo’s Domain Expansion have any hope of defeating him.
9 Would Lose To: Whis (Dragon Ball Super) Beats Satoru Gojo By Fighting Passively Until Gojo Runs Out Of Cursed Energy
Whis is probably the only character that could beat Satoru Gojo in a battle of attrition. Gojo’s infinity technique does not grant him infinite power, which means eventually the overpowered sorcerer can run out of gas. Fortunately, Gojo has the strength and speed to end most of his battles before he risks exhaustion.
Whis is unlike the foes Gojo has faced before. The angel is incredibly fast and skilled in combat. Even if Gojo was giving it his all, Whis would still avoid his strikes until the jutsu sensei ran out of the cursed energy he needed for Domain Expansion. Without this overpowered technique, Whis could surely defeat Satoru Gojo.
8 Could Beat: Satoru Gojo Beats Eraserhead (My Hero Academia) In Hand To Hand Combat Even After Eraserhead Turns Off His Cursed Energy
Eraserhead doesn’t get much publicity in the densely populated hero world of My Hero Academia but that doesn’t mean he isn’t powerful. With a Quirk that allows him to erase his enemies’ powers, Eraserhead ensures his victory over anyone that he can defeat in hand-to-hand combat.
Luckily, Satoru Gojo is not a one-trick magic character. He knows how to fight. Gojo proves during his battle with Sukuna and Jogo that he is an adept martial artist. In fact, Gojo’s speed and strength far exceed Eraserhead’s even without his cursed energy buffs.
7 Would Lose To: Saitama (One-Punch Man) Beats Satoru Gojo By Breaking Infinity Even Though That Should Be Impossible
Though Saitama is technically the protagonist of One-Punch Man, he plays the role of sensei for best boy Genos. The Demon Cyborg would likely be the exact same with or without Saitama’s teaching, but the Caped Baldy does serve as a great example of the power that Genos can look up to.
Though Gojo seems to be blessed with plot armor in the most recent episodes of Jujutsu Kaisen he isn’t even the main character of this anime series. If Saitama had to punch through infinity to ensure that his plot armor remained intact, he would surely manage to do so, even if it took him more than one punch.
6 Could Beat: Satoru Gojo Beats Sakonji Urokodaki (Demon Slayer) Thanks To The Incredible Durability Granted To Him By The Infinity Cursed Technique
One of the perks of Satoru Gojo’s inherited technique is the ability to take advantage of infinity as a powerful defensive buff in combat. During Gojo’s battle with Jogo, the cursed spirit proves just how durable Satoru really is by pulling him into the base of a volcano.
Sakonji Urokodaki is a powerful swordsman and a master of water breathing, but his sword cannot break through infinity. Regardless of the water-breathing form Urokodaki chose, a demon slayer has no hope of breaking through Gojo’s defenses.
5 Would Lose To: Kisuke Urahara (Bleach) Beats Satoru Gojo By Relying On His Cursed Weapon
Sataru Gojo may harness an impressive amount of cursed energy when compared to the other characters in Jujutsu Kaisen, but Kisuke Urahara’s spiritual energy levels would surely put Gojo’s to the test. Kisuke may not have a great counter to Gojo’s domain expansion, but he does carry a powerful weapon that he can use to keep Gojo at a distance.
If Urahara could keep Gojo at a distance he may be able to wear him down over time with Benehime. If the weapons in Bleach work the same as the weapons in Jujutsu Kaisen, then Benehime easily classifies as a special grade cursed weapon. Gojo is powerful, but could he really beat Urahara with a special grade cursed weapon?
4 Could Beat: Satoru Gojo Beats Uncle Iroh (Avatar: The Last Airbender) But Not Before The Dragon Of The West Puts On An Incredible Display Of Fire Bending
Though it would be much more pleasant to watch these characters sit down for a cup of tea, Gojo has a habit of disrespecting his elders. Especially the elders that have no way to make him pay for acting disrespectfully.
In the case of Uncle Iroh from Avatar: The Last Airbender, Gojo could easily get away with acting disrespectfully. Though the Dragon of the West is an incredible bender, his flames would do nothing to the sorcerer who controls the power of infinity.
3 Would Lose To: Master Roshi (Dragon Ball) Beats Satoru Gojo With An Evil Containment Wave
If this list was tracking characters that are more powerful than Satoru Gojo, Master Roshi wouldn’t make the cut. Thanks to years of experience as a martial artist though, Roshi actually stands a good chance of overcoming Gojo as an underdog.
Admittedly, there are very few sensei characters in anime that are as overpowered as Satoru Gojo so, Roshi is a stretch. Still, if the old turtle kami was able to catch Satoru Gojo with his Evil Containment Wave technique, he may be able to take down the strongest Jutsu Sorcerer despite their gap in strength.
2 Could Beat: Satoru Gojo Beats Koro-Sensei (Assassination Classroom) By Demonstrating A Mastery Of Cursed Techniques
Koro-Sensei may have Satoru Gojo matched in terms of physical strength and speed, but the bulbous sensei doesn’t reach into the realm of magic quite as far as Gojo. Gojo wins this matchup thanks to his affinity with Cursed Techniques.
Regardless of Koro-Sensei’s strengths, Gojo’s control over Infinity makes him nearly invincible as long as he maintains a steady flow of cursed energy. Perhaps Gojo sensei is the student that Koro-Sensei has been waiting for.
1 Would Lose To: Genkai (Yu Yu Hakusha) Beats Satoru Gojo By Breaking The Hold Of Infinite Void
If fans of Jujutsu Kaisen came to this list looking for the sort of wise spiritual sensei that could break free of Satoru Gojo’s Infinite Void Domain, Genkai is the anime sensei that stands the best chance of doing so.
Genkai’s spiritual knowledge and power allow her to focus her spiritual energy in her body, making her an extremely powerful warrior and sorcerer. If Genkai was given too much time with Gojo, she would surely devise a way to outwit the cocky Jutsu Sorcerer, or else prove just how overpowered Infinite Void truly is.
