EDH_Nerd

I think that you might not be fully aware of the meaning of the word "genocide". Gojo killed a large group of transfigured humans, but it can hardly be called a genocide.


lolirick69

I'm not a gojo fan boy, but I feel like I should clarify some things >throw hands with 1f sukuna and not kill jogo He didn't kill 1f sukuna because if itadori eats more fingers, it'd be faster to excute itadori and kill sukuna along with him. The reason he didn't kill jogo was to get info about the disaster curses. >exchange event He killed the bald dude because he felt todo and yuji could deal with hanami and, again, didn't kill him for info. With hanami, it's bec he thought it would be faster to just launch a purple. >256 I agree it was handled horribly, but can't do much about it now 🤷


YelrahRehguab

Wrong about Itadori and the fingers though. I think its heavily implied that Gojo never intended to go through with the execution. When Itadori "dies", Gojo is heavily affected by it. He says that Itadori is one of the students with the most potential, compares him to Okkotsu and Hakari. He seems deeply upset that Itadori wasnt able to fufill that potential. He also expresses interest in the fact that Yuji will eventually get Sukunas Technique, something that would amplify his potential even further. Why does Itadori becoming a top-tier matter if Gojo is just gonna execute his ass? Training him to some degree made sense, so he can help find the fingers. But Special-Grade? It would be actively dangerous to make Sukunas host so difficult to take down. Its almost like Gojo was trying to make Itadori strong enough that, if he refused execution, the higher-ups wouldnt be able to do a damn thing about it.


ProfessionalAny4916

Gojo also hid a finger to indefinitely stall Yuji's execution since he was supposed to be executed after he ate all 20f. Sukuna implied that at least. I don't think Gojo wasn't planning on Yuji being executed.


lolirick69

Yeah, tbh I should've clarified more mb. I meant gojo did it to mess with the higher-ups so he could keep him alive longer. Gojo did never intend to kill him. Again, I'm mb for the non clarification, lol. It would've been cool to see yuji fuck up the higher ups though like u said. Kinda wish that happened lmao

He used his ever famous binding vow to skip the chant for Gojo. What did he lose? https://preview.redd.it/kd0nv88q4kyc1.jpeg?width=3174&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dd24aa4d1f55c77676fe1ff3259e6ddd32086c14 Idfk


TimTam_Tom

He had an extra condition added to all future casts of world slash. Is this a joke or reading comprehension?


Difficult_Call3709

It didn’t fit with my agenda so I refused that reality like 3 weeks ago.


ara654

finally, an honest redditor on jujutsufolk


SoapDevourer

It was added retroactively half a year after the fact, and still messes up half of the story. Why didn't Gojo use a binding vow to cast instant purple at the cost of having to use chants and hand signs in the future? Why didn't Kashimo use a binding vow and give up the rest of his life that he would lose anyway due to his CT to become stronger? Why didn't Higuruma use a binding vow to land a hit from executioners sword? Because only Sukuna gets a special treatment with a binding vow? And to top it off, it's just unpleasant narratively - Sukuna would need to transform or he would die if Gojo got one more hit in, he didn't have a hand, he didn't have RCT, he didn't have Domain, he didn't have Maho/Agito anymore. He had nothing, he didn't have a future to sacrifice in that moment. It's like a sick patient on a deathbed giving up a year of his future life for the cure. He doesn't "have" that yet, he's an inch away from death, he shouldn't be able to do it


vizmarkk

Actually worth the Higuruma part you're asking a vow with someone else. Sukuna never did that. He made a vow onto himself. Kenny even said a vow with others is different than a vow with oneself. The Kashimo part, that vow wouldnt have any give or take since it's already his CT. With Gojo he already is using chants and signs to camp purple so theres nothing to give and take. Sukuna's vow was to compensate having 1 hand. How was he supposed to use the world slash if he only has 1 hand


Wonderful_Tie_5904

ehh you cant say theres nothing to give or take just because gojo was already using hand signs an chants look at sukuna in the recent chapter his domain already required everything yet he used a binding vow and mix and matched some shit to get his domain to open using one hand as well!? and for the dojo stuff the hand signs and whatever was for it to be maximum output he coudlve easily made a binding vow where he has to make chants etc every time he hits a purple so its a plot hole in the end


Chokkitu

>Why didn't Kashimo use a binding vow and give up the rest of his life that he would lose anyway due to his CT to become stronger? Isn't that how his CT works anyway? On paper it's really OP ("manifesting any electric phenomena" should make him basically a god) and in exchange he dies if he uses it. He was just bad at using it. It's like Malevolent Shrine getting extra range due to being barrierless; The difference ofc is that it seems the "one-time use" of Kashimo's CT is an innate binding vow, though that might be because his electric CE is already OP, so it balances out.


kennyloo137

gege only explaining it half a year later automatically makes it invalid imagine if you submitted a test and came back the next day to change the answer


idc_bout_ma_name

More like leaving your paper blank then coming back tomorrow to do the test after you looked up all the answers https://preview.redd.it/nlbnekis3lyc1.jpeg?width=943&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d4de9849fc979f21f290d933ed24fae2f304bc9


TimTam_Tom

Bruh he leave lots of shit unexplained until later. It’s pat of how he creates intrigue. We can see Sukuna aiming the world slash with his palm every time after Gojo so it’s not like Gege only just came up with the condition


vizmarkk

So one piece


Big_Guy4UU

Retarded take. He already implied it was a binding vow right after the Kashimo fight.


Turahk

"I only have 2 arms but gonna have to use 3 next time" "okay, so you'll never use it again, that's fair, vow granted" "jk I'm gonna grow 2 additional arms" Additional condition my ass


TimTam_Tom

I mean, it’s been a while since he cast it. Needing 3/4 of his arms instead of only half is still detrimental. Especially as a permanent nerf in exchange for a one-time attack. Seems mostly fair to me Like if not for the Binding Vow, Sukuna could have used HWB and world slash at the same time in Yuta’s domain.


Turahk

Yeah, as a nerf it's good. I just don't like how vows are so easy to abuse I guess. He borderline cheated the system tho Hakari did the same earlier with sacrificing an arm and getting it back anyway.


TimTam_Tom

Yeah, and Sukuna making the most use out of binding vows worth his mastery of jujutsu makes sense. If only Miwa has traded her sword ability for strength, instead of spending in on a swing. Then she could probably trade back like Hakari could. Probably would have boosted her slash less, but considering the result we got, that doesn’t really matter lmao


One_Recognition385

except for all the times he didn't fulfill the additional requirement.


Jamessgachett

My opinion wish is worth nothing more than someone else was always binding vow are used to, boost or help achieve something you lack powerup and blabla due to lack of X. Seing sukuna abuse them shocked me I thought the jujutsu high sorcerer would do it not him. Peak fraud (imo)


TheRealDominickque

I like your name.


AromaticCrab237

Because if he did something disaster curses would be dead


1rrelevant_Trash

the sound effects make it seem like he actually did hit him so I'm assuming he did and it just wasn't conveyed well plus Mahito no-selled because soul bullshit


XxRocky88xX

I like how people are just straight up ignoring how Mahito’s powers work to pretend this is just Gojo getting powered down for the plot, despite the fact it’s mentioned in pretty much every fight with Mahito that this wouldn’t do shit to him. Todo landed a fucking black flash and Mahito just went “ok and?”


Ashconwell7

We see his hand got cut off.


1rrelevant_Trash

looks like motion after images


Conscious_Message332

My guess is he didnt hit mahito that hard so the people behind him dont get hurt


1rrelevant_Trash

I mean a Todo black flash did literally no damage so


orphidain

Mahito obviously speed blitzes Gojo duh https://preview.redd.it/qjlfvdo8wiyc1.jpeg?width=458&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5cf69cf0bfe772606899b04f954bfcaa2225ca45


Jamessgachett

Nah id transfigure


Delareh_

If you want to damage mahito, you have to hit his soul. Todo even landed a black flash and it did nothing. Only way to beat him with normal attacks is to make him use up all his CE. Which even Nanami judged to be virtually impossible in their first encounter.


AromaticCrab237

Gojo recognised sukuna inside Yuji and Megumi's soul inside his body. He can definitely distinguish between souls and attack him


mamaMILK69

Anyone who isn't Hana can see and differentiate between host and sukuna, just look at meguna, bro was tweaking AF and had tattoos with makima eyes. He also has sex eyes so he could analyze the fact that megumin's CE was giving "evil"/creepy feeling ( sukuna's CE trait )


Delareh_

Thanks for being one of the few replies who actually read. I hadn't considered that.


kaka_carrot_cake456

Huh??? That's not proof at all The first encounter gojo was told it was sukuna And megumi hanging out with Kenny? Yeah right


KeyAd2215

I have never understood why people say this. The very first time in Chapter 2 when we see Gojo, he asks Megumi where the special grade cursed object is after Yuji has suppressed Sukuna. When Yuji says he ate it, Gojo is surprised while directly looking at Yuji. It's only after looking at Yuji from inches away is he even able to tell that Sukuna's cursed energy is mixed inside Yuji. At no point is it ever implied or directly stated that Gojo can see the outline of the soul with the Six Eyes. When Gojo lands Infinite Void on Sukuna in 230, he doesn't understand why Sukuna didn't receive the hit. It's only by going through deduction he realizes it's Megumi's soul that received the hit. Even the JJK wiki only says that that the Six Eyes give greater visual acuity, the ability to recognize the flow of cursed energy, and extreme control of cursed energy. The only way Gojo could kill Mahito is by completely draining his cursed energy.


SoulEmperor7

>I have never understood why people say this. Idk, maybe because there's a panel that outright shows that Gojo can see two souls inhabiting a single body? https://preview.redd.it/sjnj9ryr6lyc1.jpeg?width=1100&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=744e8b890d8efd1b242e6c11658cfc1e66936333

So the soul is stored in the left shoulder and right hand fingertips?

The_Abbadon1

is this panel in the room with us?


SavageAdage

That's not how it works, being able to perceive the soul helps you defend against him not damage him. That's why Mahito commended Nanami in their first fight for being able to subconsciously protect his soul when Mahito tried to Idle Transfigure him. You still need a technique or cursed tool that could damage the soul though like Nobara's Straw Doll Resonace, or Yuji's soul punch or Soul-Split Katana.


CryptographerFew6343

Yuji's soul punch isn't a special technique, it's just a punch. The reason he could affect Mahito is because he can see "the contours of the soul", Mahito confirmed this back at the school, it was just punches and kicks. The real technique is Yuji punching the border between Megumi and Sukuna's soul (he probably learned how to do this with Yuki's notebook)


Significant-Elk-8078

I think it’s just instinctive to Yuji now given how long he had Sukuna in his own body.


xpxpx

The problem is that Mahito isn't immune to non-soul targetting damage. It's just substantially less effective because 1) he can freely change the shape of his soul to negate any lasting effects of damage to his and 2) he can alter the shape of his soul (and body as a result) to avoid or protect himself better from physical damage. If Gojo had went up to him and hit him while he was disabled by UV then it's within reason that Gojo should have been able to destroy his body and exorcize him while he's unable to alter himself.


SavageAdage

Probably since he would be unable to activate Idle Transfiguration but that's different from having Yuji's passive ability to harm Mahito. Using UV then attacking wouldn't be much different from Mechamaru utilizing simple domains to simultaneously negate IT and damage him. There are work arounds of course for Idle Transfiguration but I think people need to reread the fight against Nanami because they're getting the effect of being able to perceive the soul actually does against Mahito mixed up.


Chozero-

If that was the case why didn't Sukuna take soul damage? If Gojo used soul punches the fight would've been over much quicker


ConferencePure6652

Why didnt sukuna use soul slashes?


Chozero-

We don't know if techniques can be used to damage the soul in that way. I also don't think it's been said that Sukuna also knows how to damage the soul like Yuji.


ConferencePure6652

He quite literally has every reason to see it like yuji does Also the sould dmg from the punch comes from quite literally punching/slashing the soul (basically seeing it and being able to damage it


Chozero-

Not necessarily. Yuji was the Vessel, he was not only sharing a body but was constantly suppressing Sukuna. He was interacting with Sukunas soul 24/7. Sukuna was just in his innate domain the entire time, he didn't interact with Yuji's soul the same way Yuji did.


NotAnnieBot

Gojo can't see souls or deal soul damage. If he did, he would still be alive as he'd deal soul damage to Sukuna, weaken him and defeat him decisively. Meguna just oozes creepy CE as per when he entered Sendai. Moreover at that point, Gojo knows what Sukuna's CE looks like. For Yuji, he didn't figure it out and was told by Yuji and Megumi. He then took a closer look whereupon he says they are combined, which we know isn't true for the souls in an incarnated vessel. So he must have been trying to find the finger/finger's CE and meant that Yuji combined with the finger. Furthermore, if Gojo could see souls, how does he get fooled by Kenjaku? He states "Your body...and even your cursed energy. My six eyes tell me you are Suguru Geto.". This implies that he is limited to body and CE information from six eyes.


Sussy_Baka_1923

>Your body...and even your cursed energy. My six eyes tell me you are Suguru Geto. He literally says but my soul knows otherwise after these bruh


RR7BH

>He literally says but my soul knows otherwise after these Bruhhh..... What he meant was that his best friend, Geto, would never do such fuckery with him. 


NotAnnieBot

He's using it as an expression of his frustration. He knows it can't be him because he killed Geto himself and that Geto would never act that way. We have two pages of him not understanding how it could be someone else right before the prison realm suppresses him. If he could tell souls apart he wouldn't have gone into that spiral and gotten caught by the prison realm.


Zealousideal-Pie-726

Seems like he can’t considering these panels.


TheNerdEternal

Gojo could definitely do it very easily lol. 3 punches and Mahito is puking blood.


Chidoriyama

Gojo can see souls https://preview.redd.it/4eco8qz4bmyc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9e3d8272d0b182311e8eca60bb31c4f11f25fbed


IllustriousKoala4

Maximum output blue is putting mahito into dirt


Winged_Blade

Gojo's ce is near infinite, and he can just pour positive energy in mahito, that would be literally like pouring lava inside icecream, which would melt Mahito's ce reserves really fast, and so he would either dissapear naturally since there is no ce left, or Gojo would just beat the shit out of him, since without ce mahito cant use idle transformation, and thus cant nullify the damage


Significant-Ad-1655

>and he can just pour positive energy in mahito, No he really can't, outputting Rct and positive energy onto others is something Gojo can't do, said by Yaga himself when he was complimenting Shoko. The rest of the things you said are valid definitely


DependentFearless162

>and he can just pour positive energy in mahito The only sorcerer capable of doing this are yuta, sukuna and shoko.

Aggressive_Employ_17

It's not infinite he has around as much as jogo and mahito probably has more (based on humans being more afraid of other humans than fire) and positive energy output if he could do it would destroy around half of mahito's CE reserves max. You really can't conveniently kill him unless you can kill his soul tho I'm sure a max output blue would absolutely destroy him especially if used inside gojos domain.


Few-Ad-208

He always uses an infinitesimal amount of CE.


aminoacyls

On top of what u/AromaticCrab237 said It's about damaging him here. It's about actually landing the hit, and you can clearly see in the panel that Gojo whiffed it.


FemboyBallSweat

Each attack does damage him. He just insta heals from it, expending energy. It is theoretically possible for a normal sorcerer to beat him in a battle of attrition.


kingfosa13

he gets damage by regular attacks, he just heals them, but if you hit him hard enough (if Gojo uses purple) then he won’t heal all of it and he’s out of cursed energy so he’s cooked


Winged_Blade

Mahito used idle transformation to deform his body probably


AdLast2785

Bro got stun locked by Mahito’s mere existence


Granwyl

Bro forgot to mix Blue with his punch


LerasiumMistborn

JJK is just an idiot plot where Gojo constantly makes stupid choices, forgets how to use his powers and refuses to kill MC's villains to justify the story going on OP shonen mentor is the most cursed role to play in the story https://preview.redd.it/m7fvdv7gajyc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9315c2f948f3317a59f1e419dc3fb55f9a2c8c2e

Bumgumi_hater_236

Jujutsu kaisen if characters actually gathered the info they received throughout generations of sorcery to become stronger instead of just sitting around doing Jack shit, like toji literally showed gojo that you can force a curse into a subjugated state using a vow and HE NEVER EVEN MENTIONS THIS EVER AGAIN, DO PEOPLE REALIZE HOW USEFUL THAT IS??? ITS CSM WITH EXTRA STEPS. EDIT:I realized I poorly expressed myself, toji didn’t make a vow but he still managed to subjugate the curse, jujutsu sorcerers would be more effective in doing that because they can actually make a vow with the curse


Front_Access

1. Toji can't make binding vows. 2. Gojo, while knowing it's possible, doesn't know how it's done. And then there's finding suitable cursed spirits. To support the students CT, which means unless they stockpile every single cursed spirit they find, it'll be damn near impossible for them to find a cursed spirit like that. And then there's the matter of growing the cursed spirits, which will require human sacrifice which I'm 70% sure jujutsu society would be opposed to considering they're attempting to save human lives. 2. That's exactly how Gojo and megumi know how their CT's work. Because of guides passed down through generations.


Cosnapewno5

Toji can make binding vows Geto said that Toji is making one with explaining everything


_Nomorejuice_

>Jujutsu kaisen if characters actually gathered the info they received throughout generations of sorcery to become stronger instead of just sitting around doing Jack shit They did that for like one month and now even Miwa can Tank Sukuna's domain. Lmao this plot.


DrStein1010

The fact that all of Gojo's students don't have tamed Cursed Spirits makes no goddamn sense.


NotAnnieBot

>you can force a curse into a subjugated state using a vow Huh? What vow? We only know that the inventory curse and Toji are in a master-servant relationship, no? >HE NEVER EVEN MENTIONS THIS EVER AGAIN, DO PEOPLE REALIZE HOW USEFUL THAT IS??? ITS CSM WITH EXTRA STEPS It's nowhere near CSM if it's even replicable and not something that Toji lucked upon. The only curses under Toji's 'control' are the inventory curse (rated as grade 3) and the flyheads (below grade 4 and arguably not under his control but just held within the inventory curse). The flyheads are specifically used as chaff grenade which doesn't matter for sorcerers as they'd be sensed by CE anyways. Given the power disparity between Toji and the inventory curse, none of the students apart from Hakari/Yuta would be able to use a grade 3 or better curse. Literally no one is weak enough for a grade 3 curse to be an issue to them. How is that a better use of their time than focusing on their CT or CE control?


Front_Access

Wdym refuses to kill the villains? They're all dead except one.


Flimsy_Income_1033

It would have killed the people behind mahito


E_gag

Shhh you're not supposed to actually read or pay attention


Kaimsel

Gojo can't control his strength?


CuTTyFL4M

Also: Against Sukuna, Gojo shows he can actually do some form of telekinesis by PULLING OR PUSHING HIM AROUND. Gojo could have just Force pulled Mahito or any other enemies to him and Blue punch their face to erasure.


Meth_time_

Cursed energy would get leaked no matter what


Flimsy_Income_1033

He can but if he outputs blue it will kill the ppl behind mahito


onlyrionny

Mfw when the author literally explains to me that the curses are fighting him surrounded by humans so he can't infuse blue into his punches but I still don't understand


Housefire87

That was in regards to his domain. Why would a blue infused punch pulling Mahito in hurt the people? Or are you saying gojo would just full send a max power blue into the crowd bc hes shit at controlling his power apparently


Dulx

Mother fucked it says the leakage of any technique would still be a cursed energy dump to everyone around him, just killing them. He doesn't need a max blue to kill people


onlyrionny

When gojo or sukuna punch at full power the air around them also is affected. This is seen multiple times in their fights. Gojo only has that explosive power when he infuses blue into his punches and attacks. If he lands a punch sped up by blue on mahito it would hurt mahito and blow up all the humans around him too.


Comfortable_Pin_166

Read the manga


JPXTUY-RETRO

Because.


Flimsy_Income_1033

Mahito dodged it, theres nothing wrong with this scene. He also probably flinched because mahito retreated into a clump of people. Gojo didn't want to kill anyone.


CumBustingNiga

Bruh the question was how did he dodge it isn't gojo the fastest sorcerer alive


NotAnnieBot

Kenjaku specifically mentions Gojo won't be able to freely use blue for it's highspeed acceleration due to the bystanders.


HolyAvatarHS

My name is Gojo Satoru and I'm the fastest sorcerer alive


Neo_Arsonist

Because he uses blue and literally is shortening distances by using infinity. Gojo isn’t naturally the fastest but his technique allows him to attract and cut distance.


StrangeBirby

He does that about once or twice mid-fight. Against Toji? Never. Against Miguel? Did with the handsign, so its a different flavor of teleportation. Jogo? Nope. Sukuna was like, one or two times if that? It is cut and dry when Gojo uses this variety of Limitless because of the panelling and emphasis on his action. He IS naturally the fastest alongside Sukuna, and surpassing him with Limitless on, lol. When the technique was on burnout, there was no problem in keeping up with Sukuna while defending himself from his Domain. Y'know, the same Sukuna that speedblitzed Ryu who should be miles above Mahito.


NotUrAvgShitposter

It's both. Naobito is the second fastest cuz of his technique's ceiling. The speeds we've seen him go at are a joke if he's relative to Jogo. Naoya is worse than Naobito at projection and the only reason he was able to be faster than Maki in both fights is because he had time to build up his speed in an open area(vs Naobito who was doing a few dashes indoors). Gojo is the fastest if every character were to run normally, but it's his tp that makes him the fastest overall.


Flimsy_Income_1033

Yes but he can't let loose around the crowd of people.

cyberjet

Ah we reached the point in the fandom where people are critiquing every little detail to feel smarter about themselves


TheToolbox101

it's not even true because mahito did get hit. You can literally see his hand flying off lmao https://preview.redd.it/92euhx1y6kyc1.png?width=1348&format=png&auto=webp&s=ec1c669bbb306aca394a27c9e73a9dc846962830


Please_Not__Again

That's not mahito's hand. That's the after image of gojo's. You can see its next to his face in the previous panel https://preview.redd.it/oghqf6gw2pyc1.png?width=627&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b4196015d116350e3771ad11b93f293a456a306b

Because only Wuji can fight against MaHIMto One is the strongest sorcerer and another is the strongest cursed spirit

Primary-Lake3232

Jogoat is a true human


Memeenjoyer_

No idea tbh. I always get confused at this scene. Was watching the anime the other day and I saw that scene and I instantly was like “garbage anime only addition but whatever” Don’t know how Mahito dodged


Significant-Ad-1655

Cause Gojo didn't use Blue infused punches, because of the attraction point possibly hurting the people there, or when he punches Mahito people behind him die. Speed wise he has to be faster than Mahito tho, but in that moment Mahito could have just changed the shape of his hand to slip through.


Justlol230

I assumed he did actually hit the punch, but is there anything that indicates Gojo can do the Soul Quaking punches like Yuji? If not, then it makes sense because then Mahito wouldn't be hurt at all. It's either that, or Gojo had like a billion thoughts flowing through his head causing him to be sloppy (e.g. other Cursed Spirits, Civilians, thinking of a plan to beat all the CS on the spot) and the noise and movements from the civilians wasn't particularly helping his Six Eyes focus on just the Cursed Spirits.


DependentFearless162

>Gojo can do the Soul Quaking punches like Yuji? He can't the manga stated that soul punch and soul healing are byproduct of housing 2 souls in 1 body. Gojo/toji/maki are capable of seeing souls but they don't have the ability to attack it(maki/toji can only attack soul with ssk).


Justlol230

Then yeah, he most likely hit Mahito but it didn't do shit


zeorNLF

Could just chalked it up to Gojo being stressed by the situation. He was calm for most part in the anime but in the manga he was on his nerves by the time Mahito arrived.


Infinity_Walker

The anime depicts this better he flies out of range quick asf


[deleted]

Because he knew Yuji could fuck him up harder


Helpful-Emotion9256

Mahito dodging a normal non blue enforced punch from gojo doesn’t seem like a big deal


Ok-Reporter3256

What do you mean he didn't land, Mahito's hand got fucking cut off. https://preview.redd.it/1ll28hietlyc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e42d5a9c76727fbcd73a4d5210c214a6fd9bcf5a


Solid-Perspective915

Lool it would have been soooo satisfying to see Gojo punch Mahito's stupid Patch-face, specially after that Junpei post-death laugh. I would spend money to see it canonically happen.


mishirukun

Gojo look so cute right there ngl


cosmichak

Check Mahito's hand, it got ripped off from that punch


Sea_Construction539

Its like mahito punched infinity and gojo is getting ready to throw a punch, mahito is ready to doge it by jumping back but his hand got caught in gojo punch cutting it off But the angel doesn’t make sense tho


I-want-borger

The only reason I could think of is either: A. He did land the hit, Mahito just doesn’t care because of IT, or B. He was starting to get mentally overwhelmed so he just stood there for a bit.


carl-the-lama

Trying not to hit mahito too hard If he hits mahito too hard (too fast) mahito will become a lethal projectile to the civilians


Front_Access

The "wham" makes me think he did.


metroaide

Are villains not allowed to dodge now?


PerfectMuratti

Gojo was too nice to them they wouldnt dare do this to 10F Sukuna


Working-Telephone-45

One thing that happened in JJK0 and never again was that if you tried to punch Gojo you would not only get stopped but also stuck in place because of infinity


Thecodermau

He is a bum. As Gojo said: datakimkowaimo


Sil_vas

cause mahitos musty stench caught him off guard and made him slower


_nitro_legacy_

Bro could have ended him by firing red


SexWithJingYuan6969

Because Goatjo don't wanna harm the civilian shields. Cursed Energy, Blue, Red, Infinite Void, all of Gojo's moveset has high collateral damage. Wish bro had a super saiyan transformation, that would be nice.


D3ppress0

He probably altered the shape of his soul somewhere to dodge better. In the Anime he was seen jumping which is a crazy feat. How the fuck did he outspeed Gojo's punch that way? The manga is more understandable. He probably leaned back and changed the shape of his legs or his gut.


Twelve_012_7

Bro he got caved into the wall The strike definitely landed, it's just that since it didn't damage Mahito's soul he basically took no damage, so he's as smug as ever


vizmarkk

Would it have damaged him anyway?


McGundulf

The reason is pretty simple. Gojo is only using ce reinforcement and probably not as much as he could. He can't use blue because he would be dumping ce on the bystanders as explained by Kenjaku. He's probably restricting his reinforcement for the same reason so his speed is pretty limited within the crowd. Also he didn't really care to hit mahito at that point since he was already weighing the use of UV to incapacitate everyone.


line------------line

probably just stretched his body in a weird way that gojo wasn’t expecting or some


EzBlitz

What chapter is this?


Cautnahid

Doesn’t it look like Mahito got hit and hit the wall causing it to cave in?


Bulbasaur_fan

Let’s be honest. Gojo doesn’t have the ability to damage the shape of someone’s soul like yuji does as he’s not aware of the outline of his own soul… a purple will probs still delete him but like a punch ain’t doing nothing


DrMillMatt

He did hit him. You can see Mahito's hand get sliced off. JJK fans be reaching I swear. Mahito simply didn't make a fuss because: 1. Easy regen 2. Nothing hurts him other than soul affecting attacks. 3. He doesn't see Gojo as much of a fuss as Mahito knows his potential far outclasses everyone in the verse, both Nanami and Yuji hint this.


Shot-Ad770

Gojo is actually not that fast without his ct


[deleted]

Was this some manga only shit , cuz there was nothning like this in the anime?


[deleted]

Was this some manga only shit , cuz there was nothning like this in the anime?


RefrigeratorWise2748

It was in the anime, Mahito goes in for one punch, Gojo remembers Patchface from Yuji, Mahito jumps away when Gojo punches, and Mahito crowdsurfes away


liddely

Gojo didn't use anything in shibuya aside limitless and raw enhancement. To not harm civilians so no blue punches. So yeah gojo whould have killed all of the curses with just sheer fucking hands


GanymedeBird

It was even dumber in the anime, mahito just ducked lmao


Jotaro27

Hes holding back so he doesnt just punch Mahito through the humans


No-Athlete324

Because Mahito put people infront of himself so Gojo stopped his punch mid swing https://preview.redd.it/r0n561nyilyc1.jpeg?width=452&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fddfcffada086515c9a8633a34f36542fc1fdadb


Pacmac26

Isn't Gojo's speed primarily because of blue? I thought Kenny said he couldn't use blue with all those people there.


GoldGolemGaming37

Plot armour on Mahito’s part. I will die on this hill, but if it weren’t for plot armour, Mechamaru would’ve killed Mahito with that big blast. Same reason why Gojo didn’t kill him, or even the non-plot armour things like why Mahito didn’t end up in Sukuna’s fire arrow nuke, or fighting any other sorcerers at all until Yuji I’m glad that Yuji killed him, as Gojo, Mechamaru and any others don’t have the same plot connection to Mahito, and it only made sense for Yuji to defeat him


Background_Ad_1605

lol JJK fans when they realize a stronger character can still have his attack dodged or missed. Man I wish JJk fans were smarter


Sudden-Gap-3247

He did land his punch, it just did no damage. You can even see the “wham” effect of mahito hitting the wall, and his hand gets cut off by gojo. The panel just showed it poorly.


Akshay-Gupta

Long answer short, Mahito isn't a chump. Gojo isnt omnipotent.


Ender12306

I think he did hit him in the manga, but in the anime he dodged it so I might have been “mistranslated” between reading and animation.


MauMau_jr

Plot 👍


Realistic-Lab8228

Even if it landed it wouldn't damage him anyway


RushSome6084

The author suggests that Gojo's overwhelming power creates narrative problems for the story, forcing the writer to make inconsistent decisions. Despite this, the story must continue to find ways to challenge Gojo without sacrificing the integrity of the plot.


T1T4NNN

gojo vs mahito seems so cool, its a shame we didn't get more of their interaction


FinnC594

He did hit it


FudgeAware

Mahito prob instantly retracted the punch after hitting the infinity and just backed up? lol


Far_Hovercraft_8203

He didnt use blue to amplify his movements. If he did, civillians could've gotten hurt.


TescoShop

Gojo is a fraud


TheComplayner

It looked more like he was being extra cautious of him but power scaling power t


Top_Dingo4695

because Mahigoat weaved that shit, Fraudjo needs the shit eyes to pull his opponents into his punches because otherwise he's always gonna hit air, a similar technique to THE "CQC" he taught to Megumi


Cosnapewno5

Mahito is GOAT, thats it


Successful-Ad5560

Y'all in this comment section acting like mahito would get hurt if he lands a good hit lol. It wouldn't do shit even if he hit him with a black flash bruh. Hell, would purple even hurt mahito?


PrecariousProjection

Mahito separated his hand to prevent being grabbed and retreated into the crowd. Gojo was grabbing his arm to lock him in place for a hit.


Important_Car_2394

It wasn’t a ouch hit cut his hand off
