After the intense battle between Satoru Gojo and Sukuna Jujutsu Kaisen fans are finally starting to get answers. In a Q&A session, Gege Akutami , the creator of the series, revealed previously unseen details that explain Gojo's defeat and point out which characters could truly defeat the King of Curses.
According to Gege, only two sorcerers had a real chance of defeating Sukuna during the Shinjuku confrontation. The first, as many already imagined, was Gojo Satoru . According to the author, Gojo was on the verge of victory, but was written out of the story for being "too strong" and because the script still needed Sukuna to remain for longer. Gege confirmed that Sukuna himself recognized that Gojo could defeat him.
The second name surprises some fans: Hajime Kashimo . Even with less prominence, his power—the cursed Mythical Beast Amber —put Sukuna against the wall, with attacks impossible to avoid, even at the cost of his own life. In his weakened form within Megumi's body, Sukuna would have lost to Kashimo had the fight continued.
Other characters like Yuta , Higuruma , and Yuji Itadori also had opportunities to win, but always through cooperative and strategic scenarios. Still, it was Yuji who ultimately defeated Sukuna, cementing his central role in the plot.
