Domain expansion: Unlimited Vo-

I’m losing my mind but I can’t be the only one who thought of this in the last episode right? RIGHT?

He will do it for you

mods show him the truth of the universe for a single moment then return him to a state of mind incapable of comprehending it

Warning: Gojo fucking you in his domain

You are suspended in the celestial infinity of Unlimited Void, your senses ensnared in the vast expanse that mirrors outer space itself.

Oh, and you are being fucked.

Stars and distant galaxies cast a surreal glow, as raw, boundless information floods your mind, yet in this bewildering cosmos, you are not alone. Gojo, stands ontop of you, inside of you, his touch a grounding force against the sensory torrent threatening to consume you.

"Come one baby stay with me, I know you feel good I know."

You cant even open your mouth to respond. Gojo's presence becomes the eye of your storm. His fingers brush against yours, and the chaos that raged within you calms instantly; his touch shields you from the domain's crippling effect.

Now, all you can focus on is the feeling of euphoria coming from your core. Each of his thrusts, every time he drags his dick in and out of you, it is enough to send you to a euphoric grave. His rhythm is slow, and careful, treating you like you are glass that could break at any second. But his thrust are hard, the tip of his dick hitting a spot inside of you with such perfection your toes curl from the pleasure.

Gojo's eyes, those endless pools of blue, lock onto yours, and in this realm where time and reality seem to bend, he leans in. The kiss is a contradiction—both a surge of adrenaline and a peace beyond measure. Pleasure, intense and unbridled, washes over you, each sensation amplified by the void that engulfs you both but cannot touch your shared moment.

"God you are so beautiful." He murmurs and you almost cum right there and then from his words. And you do. As your nerves ignite and you fall off the cliff of pleasure, you can feel him, really feel him. Feel the twitch of his member inside you, feel his length scrape against your walls with delicious friction. Your tongue falls out of your mouth and your eyes roll back. Your whole body experiences this orgasm with such unbridled force that you shake. It's maddening. It's euphoric. It's him.

jokes aside, the megumi hate in the jjk community has gotten completely ridiculous and it's not even funny anymore

like, grown ass adults going into full-blown rants on reddit about how much they hate this 16 year old kid who was forced to watch sukuna use his body to his sister and his mentor, whose soul swallowed up 5 unlimited voids, and was bathed in literal evil.

and for what, not locking in in those 0.5 seconds yuuji was able to reach him for??? bro probably didn't even realize yuuji was there ffs

i literally can't go to reddit without reading about how much of a useless bum and potential man he is, blaming choso's death on him, among other things. like, up until the point he got posessed by the literal king of curses, megumi had the most insane character development and he had a domain expansion by the age of 15 (something not even gojo had by that age), and he was the number 1 motivating factor for yuuji

i don't usually get mad about people hating on the characters i like, but in this case it seems so unreasonable and uncalled for that i just can't

[maagicmushies]

"The more dangerous a curse is, the more human-like it will be."

One little subtextual thing about JJK that I’m obsessed with is that the reverse is also true. The more dangerous a sorcerer is, the more curse like they become. I just want to rattle through some examples.

Domain Expansion

This is a more general thing, but very early on we learn that strong curses lure people into domains where the dimensions are twisted and illogical. The top level of sorcerer combat also revolves around this with Domain Expansions. Sukuna and Kenjaku even take it further than curses because they don’t drag people into a dimensions, but instead impose change on the actual physical world. Takaba, who is kinda just the strongest character in the series, takes this one step further by passively emitting a domain, like a curse, but having his technique carried within it like, like a sorcerer.

Sukuna

Obviously the most important person to discuss for something like this because both characters in the story and viewers of the anime are kind of confused on if he even is a sorcerer or a curse. He’s a sorcerer, but the distinction doesn’t matter to Sukuna, he just is. This giant man with four arms, two mouths and two eyes who is like the world’s deadliest Kamaitachi. He shows up and things just begin to get sliced with 0 indication of how he’s doing it. He even takes part in consuming humans like many curses in the series. Regardless of if he was born as a human or not, the man we see in the story is just more of a curse.

Kashimo

From the Smallpox Deity and Ganesha Curse, we know that deities do manifest as curses in JJK, so of course the god of lightning fits in here. But the real reason to mention Kashimo is Mythical Beast Amber. He converts his entire body into his electrified cursed energy upon activation, which would literally make him a curse, a being with a body composed solely of cursed energy.

Big Three Techniques

The big 3 family’s techniques are all very strange in how they are typically more villainous powers, befitting a curse or demon. Ten Shadows users are doppelgängers, hiding in shadows and using them as portals to summon even more curses or even drowning people in them. Blood Manipulation is well… Blood Manipulation, it fucking sounds evil and the main strength is that it poisons people. Masters of it are also given unnatural control over their own bodies. Limitless is a complete defiance of the laws of physics and reality, which is somehow the least curse-like thing here, but that stops being a thing when we look at the main user of this technique.

Gojo

The Limitless itself isn’t very curse-like, but Gojo’s unlimited void is. The constant stream of knowledge into your mind mentally breaking you is just straight up a lovecraftian trope. Simply being around Gojo can kill you with exposure to forbidden knowledge. Additionally, like Kashimo, he is treated more as a God than a human.

Yorozu

Yorozu is similarly physics defying like Gojo and worshiped as a goddess, but additionally fights using armor that giver her the appearance of the many bug-like curses in the series. Her domain expansion referencing sickness also connects her to the trope of powerful spirits bringing plague along with them. Sukuna is annoyed by her, but I don't think anyone else really replicated his worldview of living like an untameable curse like she did

Yuta

It’s easy to forget that Rika is not an independent existence of Yuta and more or less, a being who always would have had to come into existence in order to host Yuta’s overwhelming cursed energy. He’s such a kind looking boy, but Rika is representative of who and what he actually is, just as monstrous as anyone else this strong. Additionally, his technique requires human consumption. It’s what Sukuna’s technique was theorized to be for years, but it actually belongs to one of our sweet good guys because power is ugly.

Naoya and Choso

These two are counterparts as Choso is born a curse and is inhabiting the body of a human while Naoya is a sorcerer so nasty that there was no way out besides becoming a curse. They're both really uncanny and use their double lives to get some horrifying uses out of their techniques. Naoya as a curse begins leaning into the idea of breaking physics/the rules of the world like Sukuna, Gojo and Yorozu. Projection sorcery is basically bringing the rules of anime into manga and while Naoya and Naobito can only do this to people in life, as a curse he can do it to literally anything.

Anyways, I could go on and on with some of the other strong characters in the series, but I think the point is clear. As a little final thing I want to put forth a headcanon/theory. Perhaps innate techniques are not just a mixture of luck and genetics? I think it is entirely possible that they take root within children the same way that curses form, evolving from fear and negative emotion around their potentials and the evils of their family or the world that they inhabit.

masterlist

“Because I’m unhappy, Satoru! You never listen to me, and every time I’m angry you just throw money at me like that solves the problem! I deserve a real relationship, not one where I feel like I’m always talking to a brick wall and can never really make my own choices!” He’s quiet, that stupid smirk still on his face. Ugh. “I’m leaving.” I turn around to grab my keys, in a decorative bowl right behind me, and he’s there.

One of his long, coaxing hands slips around my neck, tilting my head back, and the other one snakes around my waist, pulling my body into his. His breathing in my ear sends a shiver all the way down my spine. “I’m sorry, baby. I never meant to make you feel unhappy.”

I try to pull away, reaching for my keys again. “It doesn’t matter, I’m done. Just let me go.” Instead of listening, he quickly grabs my arm, pinning it to my chest with his first hand, and reaching out to touch my keys. The second his finger makes contact with them, they disintegrate, and my stomach drops.

“You won’t need those. I promise, after tonight—“ He starts kissing my neck, sucking on my sensitive spot and leaving a hickey, causing me to gasp. “—You won’t ever want to leave again.“

“Gojo, st—“ He cuts me off by turning my head around to kiss me on the lips, reaching under my skirt to rub on my clitoris through my underwear. I break the kiss, trying to push him away. “Gojo— ngh!” I moan in surprise when I feel his fingers slide under my panties and dip into my folds, the sudden pleasure making me forget my exact situation. Gojo removes his blindfold, and I realize my mistake— I should’ve known he would do this.

Domain expansion. Before I know it, I’m being gripped by several of Gojo’s hands, his fractals of digits ripping my clothes to shreds within a mere second. Some arms are holding my arms down, some are holding my legs open, others are massaging my breasts, others are twisting my nipples, and a pair are squeezing my neck, the pressure slightly decreasing air flow and making me feel lightheaded. Gojo comes into view, towering above me. He removes his clothes and says, “If I wanted to make it easier, I would just let more hands do it, but I want you to know who’s making you feel this good.” He drops down to his knees, leaning over me. “Something I don’t tell other people about my abilities, specifically about the Unlimited Void, is that I can control what kinds of stimuli someone receives — I’m not limited to just everything or nothing.”

My eyes flutter, struggling against the hands at my throat — I’m not being suffocated, I just don’t feel in control of my body. He smiles cunningly, sliding his hand down my torso. None of the other hands have stopped their prodding and preening, and he can see my eyes reacting to the arousing behavior. He captures my lips in his, slithering his tongue into my mouth, and inserting a finger into my gummy walls. “Oh!” My exclamation is swallowed by his devouring mouth, and my back arches as he starts to pump his long finger in and out, curling it into my g-spot.

He seamlessly transitions into adding a second finger, and then a third, each eliciting louder moans from me. His palm is rubbing against my sensitive nub, and I feel the extra pressure with every pump of his hand. It feels so good. It feels so good. It feels so good! I moan, all the twisting and tweaking of my body coupled with his fingers filling me up brings me closer, closer, and closer to the edge, his hand slamming into me until—

I let out a sob when he pulls his hand out, licking all of my juice from his fingers as he stares into my eyes. My hole is clenching around the air, my cum drooling out. “You’re making a mess, sweetheart. Let me clean that up for you.” He grabs his member, giving it a few strong pumps, then uses his tip to wipe up my liquids, rubbing it against my slit. He presses his tip into my hole, waiting for the clenching to stop— “You can’t start too early, or you’ll be all worn out.” —Before finally pushing all the way in.

“Satoru!!!” I cry out, my walls squeezing around him when I feel his full length. “Baby, please!” But he won’t play nice. He moves in and out of me at an even pace, and every time I start spasming around him, he slows down to an almost painful pace, waiting for it to stop before gradually speeding back up again. I’m mewling, begging for him to give me my release, even trying to hump up into him, but he only pulls himself out of me, not letting me get to my orgasm.

He pauses, seemingly thinking to himself. “I wonder how close I can get you with my mouth?” He slides down to my pussy, nestling his face between my thighs. I can feel his breathing on me because of how close he is. His tongue darts in, drawing a circle around my rim before sliding in, poking and prodding in me as I struggle to rub my lips on his face. I find an angle that works, where my thrashing makes the tip of his nose rub on my clit. I can feel myself getting closer to my high, and I close my eyes, embracing all the different sensations I’m experiencing all at once, but my body betrays me when it starts shaking. Gojo laughs into my lips, the vibration almost pushing me over the edge, and he pulls his face away. “Did you think I didn’t know what you were doing? Silly girl.” I whine, trying to shake my lower half, but he’s nowhere near me, it seems. More hands grab my hips, holding me so I’m completely immobile. He tsks. “When I told you only I can ever make you cum, that included yourself and any scheming tricks you thought you could pull.”

I can’t see him because my head’s being pulled back, but I can feel him when his lips wrap around my bud and his tongue starts swirling around it. He sucks as he works, and I moan again, thinking that I’ll come undone for sure, it feels so good, if only he’d let me finish! He lets go with a loud pop of his lips, coming up to kiss me, my sheen coating his velvety petals like morning dew on a rose. I taste sweet and bitter in my own mouth, but I don’t have time to savor it as he fills me to the brim, and starts thrusting away. “Ah! Satoru, I’m close! Please tell me I can cum!” I beg him, my voice wavering from the overstimulation of my whole body, all my points of pleasure telling me I can never leave this man. He’s right. No one else will ever tear me apart in as sensual of a way as he does.

He hums, laughing as he pleasures himself inside of me, burying himself to the hilt, pulling far enough out that his tip becomes visible, then quickly burrowing all the way back in, over and over again. “Okay.” He picks up his pace, and the dam breaks — everything that had built up pours out, my orgasm flooding out each time he pushes himself into me, and my head’s spinning as I’m stuck bawling from how good it feels. My entire body is rigid and shaking, and Gojo’s still going, the other hands going crazy, all madly fondling every part of my body.

Tears sneak out of my ducts, and Gojo licks them up, smiling like the devil while his eyes bore into mine as he nears his own release. My pussy is still fluttering around his cock, and I haven’t stopped babbling about it being too much, too much, when I feel my reservoir filling up again. “Sa-to-ru-oh!” I manage, though I’m not sure what I’m even trying to say.

“Say you’ll stay,” He commands in a deep, smooth voice, and I melt beneath his piercing blue eyes, the sweat glistening on his skin, which feels sticky as his hips collide with mine, his balls slapping against my second hole, the fractal hands all reaching for the most sensitive spots and caressing them in just the right way.

“I’ll— I’ll stay!” I respond, incapable of thinking about what he’s asking of me, and his thrusts turn from measured to erratic. I feel his hips begin to stutter, the other hands all becoming even more aggressive if even possible, and the final push that takes me over the edge is feeling his length pumping out his seed inside me, making everything squeeze just a bit tighter. My rubber band snaps, and the other hands all disappear as my body spasms out of control, my back completely arched as my hips move to meet his of their own accord, his own continuing to pound into me until he has nothing else, and he stills, rubbing his hands up my naked body until he cups my face with both of them, kissing my lips, then looking at me with a hunger yet to be satiated reflecting from his eyes.

When my body finally calms, I eventually notice that we’re still in the living room. He scoops me up, and while he holds me I realize that he’s already hard again. “We’re not done yet, I hope you know. Remember now, my love, you said you would stay.” He takes me to our bedroom and sets me down in the middle of the bed, flipping me over so I’m on my hands and knees, and slapping my ass. “If you ever try to leave again I’ll give you so much pleasure that you’ll pray for me to stop it, and I won’t, because this is mine. You’re mine. Do you understand?” I nod my head weakly as I wobble on all fours, and gasp when he yanks my head back by my hair. “Oh, y/n, you’re my good girl.” He rams himself into me from behind.

no but have you ever thought about how's gojo's cursed technique is literally being "out of touch". and he needs it to be activated 24/7 bc there's too many people that's gonna try to kill him so basically he have to distance himself from everyone to feel safe. and his domain expansion called "unlimited void" which is. pretty much how depression feels. like you're empty inside and there is no end for it. like you're falling endlessly into something much larger than you are, with nothing to hold on. there's only you and your overwhelming feelings that drives you out of your mind more and more with every second making you completely numb and helpless and you can't do anything but slowly die on the inside.

bc I think about it constantly.

His first Student

Jujutsu Kaisen

No pairing plotted yet. Gender Neutral Reader as of right now Reader is Age 5 in this segment.

Reader has a Time based Cursed Technique, and winds up in Gojo's Unlimited Void.

So far:

When you first activated your Cursed Technique you were five. You were wide eyed, stunned, as if you had the breath knocked out of you. A little light headed as you felt a strain all around you. But…you weren’t…anywhere?

“Well…you’re not supposed to be here.” You blinked looking up to what was a teenager at the time. White haired, his sunglasses pulled down the bridge of his nose as his blue eyes showed in the Darkness. He moved to release his domain Expansion and he walked closer, causing you to take a step back, and he paused, started to laugh and raised his hands. “Hey now I promise not to hurt you. What’s your name and how did you show up in my Domain like that?”

“(First name) (Last Name)” You muttered blinking wide eyed at the boy. “I don’t know…”

He hummed. “I’m Gojo Satoru.” He responded by taking a hand out of his pants pocket and pushing up his sunglasses, before he leaned down closer to you. His eyes brightened for a moment as he blinked as he seemed to look through you or even to scan your soul. “Oooh…Time based Cursed Technique? Do you remember what led it to activate?”

You only blinked confused. “Uh…I…was in school? And someone pushed me on the playground and I got upset?” 

“Ah you were emotional I see I see…” Gojo stood back up at that, and smiled. “So, this was the first time?” You nodded. “Okay, so this is a big concept, but time is a concept that is…Not going in a specific Direction. The past and Future can be happening concurrently with the present. Get it?”

Your mouth fell open. Your eyes blinked wildly as you tried to comprehend what he was saying. You were only 5. 

“Just like Space Everything is everywhere and all around!” Gojo exclaimed, walking around you. “I can take a step right now and we’ll be in England and right now we’re in Japan. Because with my Limitless I can bend the space between the two quite easily. Now I want you to think of your place or where you just came from. If you need an emotional outburst I could bully you a little but doubt we need to. Just focus. On where your Present is, and just step into it!”  Gojo sighed, as he reached to take your hand for a moment. “Kinda like this.” 

He demonstrated, and your eyes widened as both he and you traveled across Japan with one step from him. The world looked so odd and blurred the split second it took to get to the other side. “Whoa…”

Gojo grinned at that. “Alright, now you try, only focus on your school playground where you were.”

You closed your eyes, you were trying to imagine the playground, the feeling of being pushed, and you just moved to step back like Gojo had shown you. 

Gojo hummed as he watched the space surrounding you ripple. You then blinked out of existence to him. However he could still sense your Cursed Energy. "Hm...I should be a teacher..."

Meanwhile you landed right behind the kid that pushed you, and you took this time to push him back only into a mud puddle before the bell rang and you ran off acting like nothing happened.

Of Two Worlds (Book 3) Chapter Thirteen

Fushiguro Megumi x Half-Curse! Reader

Chapter Thirteen: Sunset

Mouse: Still manga spoilers!

Summary: The duel between Gojo and Sukuna continues.

            Sukuna created a steeple with his hands. Gojo twined his first two fingers together.

            “Domain expansion!”

            They spoke as one. Cursed energy exploded through the city. Everyone watching the broadcast leaned forward in shock. A black-hole—a void—swirled into existence. At the same moment, a shrine of skulls and spikes rose from the ground. Gojo and Sukuna’s domains were clashing.

            It was an even battle. Within Gojo’s barrier, the can’t-miss commands overlapped and cancelled out. It was purely a battle of opening their battles. The first to take heavy damage or let their domain collapse would be the one to take a hit they couldn’t avoid.

            However, Sukuna’s domain reached outside of Gojo’s—far larger and effective over its entire range. Thus…

            Crack!

            The outside of Gojo’s domain expansion cracked. Just as with any other domain, it was meant to keep people in—not out.

            Sukuna smirked as Gojo’s black void shattered. Gojo’s eyes widened, and he looked up at Sukuna atop his shrine.

            A large cut slashed across Gojo’s neck. Blood sprayed through the air. Instantly, he grabbed his neck and pushed reverse-cursed energy through the wound. It sealed, but he still stood in Sukuna’s domain—any number of unavoidable attacks could come for him.

            Thousands of cuts opened across Gojo’s body. He was covered in blood even as he healed himself. Sukuna grinned and attacked, adding his own movements to his technique and domain.

            “You think I’d let you go?” jeered Sukuna as they traded blows.

            Gojo wasn’t giving up, but Sukuna wasn’t letting up, either. He hit harder with every wound that healed into a scar across Gojo’s body. He narrowed his eyes and crouched.

            New Shadow Style: Simple Domain.

            A small domain glowed to life around Gojo. It negated the sure-hit of Sukuna while he healed himself. It bought a tiny bit of time, but it wasn’t enough. With a simple move and blow from Sukuna, more cuts opened up across Gojo’s face, and he coughed.

            “How tedious,” drawled Sukuna.

            Gojo gritted his teeth and lunged, faster than Sukuna could see. He appeared before him and lifted two fingers. His smile was feral, and his eyes were wide. His face was stained with blood as he spoke.

            “Red.”

            Sukuna flew backwards into his shrine, and it crumbled beneath him. Gojo watched with a grin.

            “Phew. That wasn’t easy.” He wiped the blood from his face, leaving only his new scars behind.

            He watched as Sukuna’s shrine reformed and smirked. Sukuna stood, rubbing his face to remove the blood the attack had spilled on him.

            “Can you go bigger than this?” goaded Gojo.

            Sukuna raised his hands into a steeple once more. Gojo smirked and raised his twisted fingers once more.

            “Unlimited Void.”

            As Sukuna extended Malevolent Shrine to its maximum range, Gojo opened his domain. This time, though, he was prepared; he protected it against external attacks instead of internal. Unlimited Void opened up fully, and Gojo didn’t falter.

            “How about a do-over?” said Gojo.

            Sukuna smirked and attacked. It didn’t matter to him that his domain was open; he could still amplify his own energy, and Gojo felt the burden of that strength. His eyes widened as Sukuna attacked.

            Wait!

            Unlimited Void affected everyone except for Gojo and anything touching him. In order to destroy Gojo’s domain externally, Sukuna turned his focus onto the range compared to Shibuya to boost his power. He negated his own can’t-miss command in a binding vow to allow for more power outside the domain, and by touching Gojo in a fight, Sukuna was removed from the effect of Unlimited Void.

            Gojo’s domain crumbled.

            “Need another do-over?” Sukuna smirked at Gojo.

            Jumping back, Gojo felt more cuts open over him, but he switched on an old technique to keep the cuts shallow. Falling Blossom Emotion was tedious for someone with infinity, but it seemed he needed to revert to his younger techniques to protect himself there. He could still repel some of Sukuna’s power. Sukuna hadn’t figured out everything.

            Gojo raised his fingers for a third time, and Sukuna raised a brow, unimpressed.

            “Domain Expansion.”

            Unlimited Void opened for a third time. Gojo changed the terms of the barrier once more—now, it was extremely small, a pinprick in the center of a crater. Sukuna gritted his teeth and returned the change in vow by decreasing his own barrier’s range to increase his cursed energy output. The two’s wills and energy fought against one another.

            Neither domain could handle the other. The two barriers exploded.

            Gojo’s Unlimited Void was destroyed from the inside by Malevolent Shrine, but Gojo landed a hit on Sukuna so intense that he couldn’t maintain his domain.

            Gojo was left staring with a grin at Sukuna as he bled from a wound in his chest. Immediately, he struck, and Sukuna defended. The battle of domains was over for the moment, but the duel hadn’t ended. Gojo furrowed his brow. Sukuna had been only using his own techniques and barely anything that using Megumi’s body granted him. Why hadn’t he used—

            Blood dripped from Gojo’s nose.

            He wiped it up and brought up his fingers.

            “Domain Expansion!”

            Again both activated, and again everyone tensed, and again, both domains broke together. Gojo needed to immobilize Sukuna long enough to finish him, but the clash of domains was proving troublesome.

            However, the next time they brought out their domains, Sukuna’s repair of his cursed technique lagged 0.01 seconds.

            Gojo grinned. Unlimited Void hit. Malevolent Shrine collapsed.

            Sukuna’s eyes widened as Gojo lunged to crush his heart, lungs, and life.

            “With this treasure, I summon…”

            A shadow loomed over Gojo, and his eyes widened.

            “Eight-Handled sword, divergent sila divine General Mahoraga.”

            Gojo reacted instantaneously, raising his hands to destroy Mahoraga before it could adapt. “Cursed technique reversal.”

            Mahoraga raised a hand and smashed its fist down on the barrier of Unlimited Void. Gojo’s eyes widened as his domain crumbled. Mahoraga had already adapted. And what was worse was that Megumi’s soul had taken the burden of the adaptation.

            “You look like you have something to say,” said Sukuna, smirking. He knew what he was doing, and destroying Megumi’s soul meant he could take over the body completely.

            “Not really,” said Gojo, feigning casualness. “I’m just glad you’re fighting so hard.”

            Sukuna chuckled. “Not as hard as you. To be honest, I thought a cursed technique effect like Unlimited Void, which only activates in a domain, would be difficult to handle, so I wanted to rid you of that move first. While not using amplification inside a domain, I used ten shadows technique to have Fushiguro shoulder adaptation. As a result, I couldn’t use cursed techniques aside from what’s given to the domain. But it was worth it.”

            “But I bet you only had him shoulder the adaptation process and not the result,” said Gojo. “Sukuna, neither you nor Megumi’s soul have adapted to Unlimited Void. If I open my domain again, you will have to bring out Mahoraga. My next attack will end this.” He grinned, narrowed his eyes, and lifted his hands.

            Sukuna just crossed his arms and chuckled. “You can’t open your domain again.”

            Gojo’s eyes widened, and his nose began to bleed. He furrowed his brow in confusion as he tried to wipe away the blood again.

            “By using reverse-cursed technique to repair a burnt-out innate technique, you pushed yourself too far,” said Sukuna. “Cursed techniques are engraved somewhere around the right prefrontal cortex, according to my dear wife. And she is never wrong. You were destroying your brain with cursed energy and healing it with reverse-cursed technique to reset a burnt-out cursed technique.” He looked at Gojo as he tried to stop the flow of blood. “There are limits compared to flesh and bone. Even if you open a domain, you’ll either die or you won’t have the precision to combat me.” Sukuna raised his hands, and a wheel appeared above his head. “Next time, I’ll close down the barrier. You’ll have nowhere to run. Then I’ll dice you up and adapt to infinity as well. Goodbye, ‘strongest sorcerer.’ Turns out you were lucky to be born in an era when I wasn’t around. You can’t be the strongest. You’re mediocre.”

            Gojo looked down at the ground.

            “Domain Expansion.”

            Nothing.

            Sukuna coughed. Blood fell from his eyes, and he groaned. Just as Gojo, he had sustained damage from the domains, especially Unlimited Void. Neither could open their domains again.

            Gojo laughed wildly. “Seems like it had an effect!” He smirked. “My students are watching, so help me look even cooler, okay?”

            They leapt towards each other, each intent on killing the other. The two threw each other into walls, broke through buildings, and landed hit after hit on one another, but no one was going down. In fact, Gojo was reveling in the first competitive battle he’d engaged in after years of boring people. Unfortunately, that meant he had to be worried as the wheel above Sukuna’s head turned, indicating Mahoraga was adapting once more.

            But Gojo just smiled. “It’s four times total, right? Three left. That’s the number of times the wheel turns until Mahoraga adapts to my inviolability.”

            “A countdown until you lose your smirk,” said Sukuna, smirking.

            “Well, we both tend to smirk,” retorted Gojo with a grin. “And I don’t need that much time to kill you!”

            Sukuna lunged as the wheel turned for the second time. Gojo blocked him and sent him flying with Infinity, knocking him into a building. Sukuna left a hole in the wall, and Gojo sent a burst of blue at him. Sukuna dodged, and the skyscraper crumbled into a heap from the attack. Sukuna gritted his teeth and smirked even as a cut opened up on his side. The wheel turned for the third time.

            Gojo switched things up, intent on keeping the wheel turning a fourth time. He landed inside the building Sukuna stood in. He raised two fingers to aim.

            Red.

            It hit Sukuna square on, and Gojo grinned. The smoke dissipated, and the grin fell. Sukuna had used amplification to minimize the damage. It hadn’t saved him from all the power of Red, but it had protected him from serious damage.

            “You’re sloppy,” said Sukuna. “Are you panicking because I saw through you?”

            Gojo grinned again, happy to surprise Sukuna. “Actually…Red hasn’t exploded yet.”

            Upon his words, Red swung around the building and hit Sukuna properly instead of just the cursed energy from creating it. Sukuna gasped, and blood fell from his lips. Gojo lunged and swung a fist into Sukuna’s chest at the precise moment that Sukuna was distracted.

            A black flash exploded from Sukuna’s chest. Across the world, people’s eyes widened as they saw the Black Flash attack hit Sukuna square on.

            The wheel fell to the ground with a clunk.

            It rolled around in silence, and Gojo looked down at it. A shadow formed under it, and his eyes widened. Gojo tried to step back, but he sunk into the shadow. Two large arms reached out beneath Gojo. The wheel rose back into the air atop the head of Mahoraga. It had returned to face Gojo properly.

            Gojo barely flinched and faced Mahoraga head on. He swung and hit it, and Mahoraga growled.

            “Phase, paramita, pillar of light—cursed technique reversal!”

            Gojo needed to recover his lose output, no matter the cost. He raised his fingers, intent on putting out another strike of Red. Sukuna attempted to interrupt by summoning rabbits. They stormed Gojo, and he just grinned and looked through them.

            “Still hurting from Black Flash?” Gojo laughed. “Well, time for you to come out of hiding! Red!”

            Cursed energy exploded through the building, and the rabbits fell through the hole while Sukuna and Mahoraga rushed at Gojo. Sukuna needed to give Mahoraga an opportunity to adapt and attack Gojo, and Gojo knew it. He avoided Sukuna and blocked Mahoraga directly.

            Sukuna grinned, put his hands together, and fired blood at Gojo. The attack pierced his arm, and Gojo jumped back. He had been wrong—Sukuna was also on the attack when Mahoraga negated Gojo’s inviolability. It was two against one.

            “Don’t get the wrong idea.” Sukuna could tell Gojo’s mind was whirring, but he—really, Ren—was far ahead of him. Every strategy and possible ploy was planned. “This isn’t two against one.” He put his hands together. “Nue totality, merged beast agito.” Another shikigami appeared beside him.

            Gojo huffed. “You look like a lost alien!”

            Sukuna just smirked as Agito and Mahoraga lunged. Gojo jumped into the air and dodged them, but Sukuna slid in and attacked. Caught between all three, there was only one option to free himself.

            “Red!”

            Mahoraga and Agito were thrown off him, and Gojo escaped being cornered. The shikigami weren’t down for the count, though, because Gojo’s output was still too low. He had only one option left—he had to finish this with Hollow Purple.

            However, until he could get to the right output, he’d have to avoid getting badly hit by Agito or Mahoraga. To get more space, he leapt out of the building onto the streets of abandoned Shibuya. Mahoraga, Agito, and Sukuna pursued him, not giving him a chance to breathe. One would attack, he would dodge and return the blow, and by the time he hit the attacker, another opponent was upon him and the other was getting up. The new shikigami in particular was an amalgamation of different animals Megumi could summon, so it had some regenerative skills and reflexes that were adapting well to Gojo’s fighting style.

            Gojo decided he needed to remove Agito from the equation first. As soon as he attacked, though, Mahoraga was there, showing precisely why it was such a feared shikigami. Gojo raised a hand to blast it and Agita back.

            Slash!

            Gojo’s arm went flying, and his eyes widened. Mahoraga—Sukuna’s shikigami now—had used a slashing attack. Sukuna smirked, and the viewers of the duel gasped in shock. Gojo was given no time to react as Agito and Mahoraga jumped at him. He gritted his teeth and raised his remaining arm. He hit Agito across the face and grinned, feral with energy and frustration.

            “This whole time, you haven’t been able to keep up like the others.”

            Maximum Output Blue!

            Blue energy hit Agito and exploded through the sky. The light was blinding and blew Agito to smithereens. Gojo landed on the ground and looked at Mahoraga and Sukuna, his arm healing itself with his extreme reverse-cursed technique. One opponent down. Two to go.

            Sukuna narrowed his eyes as the remains of Blue sparked. Gojo was more troublesome than he was worth, and as his energy output ramped up, he would only become more frustrating.

            Gojo lunged and struck Mahoraga. Another Black Flash broke through the sky. Sukuna attacked as soon as Mahoraga was thrown back, and Gojo caught his arm. He threw him into Mahoraga, pivoted, and punched again. They hit the ground, and Gojo floated above them.

            “Phase, paramita, pillar of light. Cursed technique reversal.”

            “Mahoraga!” shouted Sukuna, determined to put a stop to Gojo’s actions.

            “Red!”

            Mahoraga attacked just as Gojo released Red. Just past Red floated Blue. Gojo let himself be pulled in by Blue and stopped between Mahoraga and Blue. Mahoraga had adapted to Blue’s gravitational pull, but it backfired—it was frozen in place.

            Gojo strucked Mahoraga. Sukuna used the distraction to fire Piercing Blood at Red to trigger its explosion before Gojo could create Hollow Purple.

            “Too late,” said Sukuna, narrowing his eyes.

            Gojo’s gaze hardened, and he spoke his words by heart. “Phase, twilight, eyes of wisdom.”

            The power of the chant strengthened Blue, and it pulled Piercing Blood in instead of letting it hit Red.

            “Nine ropes, polarized light, crow and declaration, between front and back.”

            Blue and Red flew towards one another, and the light danced across Gojo’s face, bathing him in the blue of his eyes and the red of his blood.

            “Hollow Purple.”

            An explosion of purple light shot out through the city, leveling the buildings around Sukuna, Mahoraga, and Gojo. Sukuna raised his hand as the light approached him.

            “Cl—”

            The light overtook him, and everything went silent.

            Across the world, all the watchers went silent. Everyone leaned forward as the light began to dissipate. The purple light faded, and with it, the sun fell beneath the horizon. In the final red rays of light, one person could be seen.

            Gojo Satoru lay staring up at the dying sun with empty eyes, cold blue eyes reflecting the final pale glimmers of light. He let out a final sigh as the sun dipped below the horizon.

            Gojo Satoru was dead.

            From the dust and debris of the city, Sukuna stepped out. He had many wounds, but they began to heal as he gazed with satisfaction at the dead body before him. It had taken time, but with Mahoraga’s analysis and breach of Gojo’s inviolability—he had gotten through. He ahd proved himself the strongest once more. Sukuna’s face broke into a sadistic smirk.

            “You were magnificent, Gojo Satoru. I shall never forget you for as long as I live,” declared Sukuna.

            Around the world, grief washed over viewers of the duel.

            “No way,” breathed Itadori, eyes widening as tears collected. He swallowed.

            “Gojo,” said Nanami softly. His heart pounded against his chest. Yet another friend gone.

            “He lost,” said Yuuta, holding his katana tightly with wide eyes.

            “Wait,” said Kurusu, leaning in. “There’s someone else there.”

            Everyone’s eyes flicked to the screens. Two people were walking through the debris of the city. One was Nox, his two-toned hair swept back from his face, and an elegant yukata made of the galaxy itself draped across him. He had appeared with the night itself, one with his element.

            But beside him walked someone none of them had seen. It was a girl with white hair and a white kimono. As she moved, the light hit each of the silver moon and constellation embroidery across the kimono. The full moon shone above her and glinted off the silvery-white horns that curled out and around her head. Shadows fell across her face, and Itadori furrowed his brow as she knelt beside Gojo’s body.

            “Wh—”

            The curse’s nails dug into Gojo’s chest and wrenched his heart out. Yuuta let out a gasp, and Itadori’s eyes widened. Nanami’s hands tightened into fists at the sight. Blood dripped from the curses fingers as she lifted Gojo’s heart to the light.

            The moonlight hit her face. It illuminated the full moon symbol on her forehead. Gibbus, half, and crescent moons mirrored one another on each cheek. Black, empty eyes stared at the heart bleeding in her hand and dripping down her arm.

            She smiled.

            Nanami nearly threw up at the expression on (Y/N)’s face.

“yuta barely being able to manage the limitless and the six eyes means gojo was the strongest because he was satoru gojo, not satoru gojo bc he was the strongest. the tragedy in the end is that it was him as a person that made him strong, not his technique, but no one will remember him that way.”

I don’t think that’s true.

Satoru is a 29 year old man who was born with the Six Eyes and so has had 29 years of experience with it. He achieved domain expansion in probably his third year or later. Satoru Gojo was the strongest because of his technique, imo. His arrogance and comfortable complacency granted by his title of the “strongest” kept him from truly being the strongest independent of his technique.

Yuuta is a 17 year old boy who has had the Six Eyes for less than five minutes and managed to dish out both Hollow Purple and Unlimited Void - two techniques that rely heavily on the appropriate utilisation of the Six Eyes. He achieved domain expansion presumably in his second year.
