As one of the most prominent shonen battle manga, Jujutsu Kaisen features numerous intense and strategic battles.
In Part 1, we will explore the top 5 most exciting battles from Jujutsu Kaisen.
5. Satoru Gojo vs Toji Fushiguro
The battle between Gojo and Toji unfolds in two different scenarios. After the death of Riko Amanai, Toji devises a strategy to defeat Gojo.
Gojo, caught off guard, fails to sense Toji’s stealthy approach from behind. Although Gojo survives after being dealt a surprise attack, he faces numerous challenges during the battle. Ultimately, he is defeated and severely injured, leading Toji to believe that Gojo is dead. Under normal circumstances, Toji would not have been able to defeat Gojo, but the circumstances of the fight allowed him to succeed.
However, Toji encounters Gojo one more time. This time, Gojo is in a trance-like state due to being overwhelmed by the combination of physical pressure and emotional stress. Gojo expresses his intent to eliminate Toji using the Hollow Technique: Purple. This battle marks a significant turning point for Gojo, as he realizes his own weaknesses and trains tirelessly to improve.

The Shibuya Incident arc is one of the most dramatic arcs in the anime, featuring countless intense battles. However, no battle can compare to the ferocity of Sukuna’s fight. After Sukuna takes over Yuji’s body, he summons Jogo and encounters Megumi, who has summoned Mahoraga.
Megumi is crucial to Sukuna’s strategy, so he cannot afford to let him die. Sukuna fights Mahoraga and studies the unique abilities of this cursed spirit. Mahoraga’s ability to adapt allows it to counter any technique, rendering its opponents ineffective.
In a desperate attempt, Sukuna tries to defeat Mahoraga using his Fire Arrow technique. The battle escalates, causing widespread destruction in Shibuya and leaving thousands of people trapped in the aftermath.
