who is the strongest in jjk
In the Jujutsu Kaisen story as it stands now, the most widely accepted answer is: Ryomen Sukuna is the strongest overall character in JJK , especially by the end of the manga, with Gojo Satoru being the strongest modern sorcerer before his defeat.
Quick Scoop: So… who’s actually the strongest?
If you’re asking “who is the strongest in JJK” in a general, end-of-story sense, the usual breakdown is:
- Overall strongest existence: Ryomen Sukuna (King of Curses).
- Strongest sorcerer of the modern era: Satoru Gojo.
- End-of-series rising monsters: Yuji Itadori, Yuta Okkotsu, Hakari, Maki, etc., but they’re still below peak Sukuna.
A common way fans phrase it now is:
Gojo was the strongest sorcerer of his time, but Sukuna ends up as the strongest character overall.
Why Sukuna is considered the strongest
Sukuna isn’t just “really strong”; he’s built as the final benchmark of the verse.
- He’s called “the strongest sorcerer in history” and “King of Curses” , feared as a near‑divine calamity even in the Heian era.
- With his full power restored and his true form manifested, he fights almost the entire main cast, including a post‑awakening Gojo, and still comes out on top.
- He has:
- Massive cursed energy reserves and top‑tier technique knowledge
- Advanced reverse cursed technique (healing even severe damage, regenerating organs)
* A deadly domain expansion and unique slashing techniques like Cleave/Dismantle
- In the end, Sukuna kills Gojo and survives the war as the peak threat before he’s finally brought down.
So in a “who wins in a neutral arena” type of argument, peak Sukuna is usually placed at the very top.
Gojo vs Sukuna: how fans usually frame it
This is where the forum debates get spicy.
- The author has stated that Gojo is the strongest sorcerer of the current era , while Sukuna is the strongest from the past generation.
- Pre‑Megumi‑body Sukuna vs alive Gojo used to be a real debate; many argued Gojo wins with Limitless + Six Eyes and domain mastery.
- Once Sukuna gains Megumi's body, Mahoraga, and his “true form” power‑ups, the story itself tilts the scale :
- Their big fight ends with Sukuna killing Gojo.
* Later battles show Sukuna still operating at a level no one else truly matches, even when he’s exhausted and weakened.
So while people still discuss who was stronger at X moment , the narrative answer by the end is: Sukuna surpasses Gojo as the strongest.
Other monsters in the conversation
If you’re browsing current Reddit/YouTube tier lists and power‑scaling threads, you’ll see a pretty consistent high tier around Sukuna/Gojo:
- Yuji Itadori – EOS Yuji stacks up crazy well: Black Flash master, domain expansion, and he lands the final blow on Sukuna. He’s one of the three sorcerers Gojo believed could surpass him someday.
- Yuta Okkotsu – Broken versatility: copying techniques, massive cursed energy, and Rika. Often placed just under Gojo/Sukuna.
- Kinji Hakari – His domain, Idle Death Gamble, can make him briefly functionally unkillable with infinite cursed energy while “jackpot” is active.
- Maki Zen’in – Post power‑up, she’s compared directly to Toji as a physical monster with zero cursed energy but insane combat power.
- Kenjaku, Yuki, Kashimo, Toji , etc. – All are often ranked high as “historic threats” but still not quite at the Sukuna/Gojo ceiling.
Different lists shuffle the exact rankings, but Sukuna and Gojo almost always sit in the top 2 spots , just swapping depending on whether the list is “pre‑final arc” or “end of series.”
Snapshot of typical power rankings
Here’s a rough idea of how many recent rankings and discussions stack the very top (end‑of‑series, ignoring weird hypotheticals):
| Approx. rank | Character | Why they’re here |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ryomen Sukuna | Strongest character overall by EOS, defeats Gojo, unmatched cursed energy and technique mastery. | [1][2]
| 2 | Satoru Gojo | Strongest modern sorcerer, Limitless + Six Eyes, warps the entire power balance of the era. | [2]
| 3–5 range | Yuta, Yuji, Hakari | End‑game monsters with insane potential; Yuji finishes Sukuna, Yuta and Hakari have busted kits. | [6][2]
| High tier | Maki, Toji, Yuki, Kashimo, Kenjaku | Legendary combatants and major threats, but generally ranked a step below the absolute top two. | [5][2]
How to answer the question depending on context
If someone in a forum asks “who is the strongest in JJK?” , you can tailor your answer:
- Manga EOS / full context:
→ “Sukuna is the strongest overall by the end, even above Gojo.”
- Anime‑only (no full manga spoilers):
→ “Gojo is currently portrayed as the strongest sorcerer; Sukuna is the ultimate curse rivaling him.”
- If you want to keep it spicy for discussion:
→ “Author‑wise, Gojo is strongest of the modern era, Sukuna of the past, but after the final battles Sukuna effectively ends up on top.”
TL;DR: In most current rankings and discussions, Ryomen Sukuna is “the strongest in JJK” overall at the end of the story , with Gojo Satoru holding the title of strongest modern sorcerer before he’s surpassed and killed.
