Now that you're here I can imagine you are caught up with the manga of JJK. When it came to the Sukun V. Gojo fight, it's clear that we haven't seen such an amazing fight in this manga in a very long time. The fight perfectly encapsulates everything that we've been wanting out of this story and answers the age old question; who would win in this fight?
I can go on and on about the artful design of this fight and the overall genius of the curse techniques used to constantly one up each other, but this isn't what this article is about is ending of the battle and what Gojo's death mean for the story moving forward.
We see Gojo cut in half and laying on the ground dead. This would make anybody assume that he is dead and the afterlife type scenes we see of Gojo in the airport. With Gojo's death seeming so final it begs the question of if he truly is dead or if he's merely hallucinating. We know that he's been presumed dead before with the GOAT Toji Fushiguro, so it's not that far out of the realm of possibility. I know how this sounds, but Gojo still has one final trump card he can pull to slow down Sukuna just enough to give his students a fighting chance at winning this battle.
If you take a look at Gojo's seemingly lifeless body you can see he still have one arm still attached to his body. Now this may seem like a worthless detail, but we know that nothing is meaningless in this story. Every power and every detail is meticulously thought out and planned for. Sukuna has finally let his guard down and believes he has won this fight (rightfully so because he did), but that doesn't mean Gojo doesn't have the willpower to use the last of his cursed energy to create one more domain expansion.
This final move created by Gojo will give his students one final chance to slow Sukuna down enough to leave a window open for our main characters to take Sukuna out and stop Kenjaku from forcing an evolution of Tengen. Gojo's final senseless act to save his students and give them this chance is the exact character motivation we have seen from him from the start. His love of his students and his obsession with winning will propel him forward to make one final move against Sukuna that will spell his demise for the team.
