Jujutsu Kaisen: 7 Sorcerers Closest to Gojo in Power, Ranked

In Jujutsu Kaisen, the legendary Gojo Satoru has strength equivalent to an army of powerful sorcerers. If he truly wanted to, Gojo could easily wipe out every human in Japan and, given enough time, push humanity to the brink of extinction with the power he holds throughout the series.

Born with the Limitless and the Six Eyes at the same time, Gojo Satoru's name is synonymous with "overpowered" in Jujutsu Kaisen. However, as the plot unfolds in the series, several jujutsu sorcerers have narrowed the gap on Gojo's seemingly unreachable power level. As a result, Gojo's seemingly unattainable power becomes more achievable to these mighty characters.

7 Yuki Tsukumo Earned the Same Rank as Gojo Satoru

Just like Gojo, Yuki Tsukumo is a powerful jujutsu sorcerer with a special grade title under her belt. At the same time, Yuki prefers to take matters into her own hands, much like Gojo, who mostly disagrees with the conservative elders. Instead, Yuki prefers to work alone in the hopes of finding a permanent solution to the world's curse problem.

On the battlefield, Yuki Tsukumo is undeniably worthy of her registered rank. With her cursed technique and shikigami, Yuki can effortlessly kill a special-grade curse with one shot, much to Kenjaku's surprise. In addition, Yuki's large cursed energy pool allows her to use the Reverse Cursed Technique actively and even expand her innate domain.

6 Gojo Satoru Never Doubted Megumi' Fushiguro's Potential

Gojo was one of the most powerful sorcerers in Jujutsu Kaisen who acknowledged Megumi Fushiguro's fearsome potential as a Ten Shadows Technique User. After all, at one point in the series, a Ten Shadows Technique user fought on equal footing with a Limitless and Six Eyes sorcerer from the Gojo Clan, with the match ending in a draw.

That said, Gojo truly believes that Megumi could defeat him in battle once he has completely mastered the Ten Shadows technique. While Megumi failed in taming the strongest of the Ten Shadows, he still realized much of the technique's true potential by the end of Jujutsu Kaisen.

5 Maki Zenin Became One of Gojo Satoru's Strongest Allies

Leaving the Zenin Clan was one of the boldest decisions that Maki Zenin made in Jujutsu Kaisen. By choosing to stand up for herself, Maki walked a path opposite her sister, Mai. Despite growing further apart over the years, their journeys ultimately converged one final time, forever changing Maki's destiny with the full manifestation of her Heavenly Restriction.

Not only did Maki mirror Toji Fushiguro's overwhelming physical abilities, but she also fulfilled Mai's dying wish by destroying everything the Zenin Clan stood for. With the shackles of her Heavenly Restriction finally broken, Maki gained strength on par with Toji, the same Toji who once fatally wounded Gojo Satoru.

4 Yuta Okkotsu's Power Always Rivaled Gojo Satoru's

Yuta Okkotsu surpassed many of Jujutsu High's exceptional sorcerers in a flash. Despite being an amateur in the art of weaponizing cursed energy, Yuta was immediately recognized as a special-grade sorcerer, a title only awarded to the strongest jujutsu sorcerers in history, such as Gojo.

With Yuta's iconic Copy technique and his authority over the Queen of Curses, Rika, fighting toe-to-toe with the strongest villains in Jujutsu Kaisen became routine for him. At the same time, Gojo was confident of Yuta's abilities and his potential to surpass him someday. True enough, Yuta eventually becomes the head of the Gojo Clan in Jujutsu Kaisen: Modulo.

3 Kenjaku Turned Gojo Satoru's Strength Against Him

Sealing Gojo during the Shibuya Incident Arc was a massive feat that only someone with incredible power and meticulous planning could accomplish, and Kenjaku defied expectations with his centuries-long scheme. Only a select few individuals can catch Gojo off-guard, considering his techniques, but Kenjaku did it with ease.

As soon as Kenjaku absorbed Mahito, acquired Idle Transfiguration, and sealed Gojo away in the Prison Realm, he finally set the deadly Culling Games into motion. With his high combat intelligence, vast jujutsu knowledge, and centuries-long battlefield experience, Kenjaku is undeniably worthy of recognition as one of Jujutsu Kaisen's fearsome villains.

2 Ryomen Sukuna Surpassed Gojo Satoru

Few names in jujutsu history inspire as much fear as Ryomen Sukuna, whose overwhelming power and iconic cursed techniques are capable of destroying civilizations, flattening battlefields, and surviving battles that would nearly kill anyone else. A human-turned-reincarnated-cursed-object, Sukuna laid waste in the modern era before throwing in the towel.

Sukuna's iconic moniker, King of Curses, is a worthy title for the jujutsu powerhouse himself. After all, Sukuna ultimately surpassed Gojo in their final confrontation, denying him a chance to live or see another peaceful day with his friends. He was the most powerful villain, and was so strong that no one in Jujutsu Kaisen could defeat him single-handedly.

1 Yuji Itadori Inherited Gojo Satoru's Role as the Strongest

Yuji Itadori stands tall in Jujutsu Kaisen: Modulo as the strongest sorcerer alive, surpassing Gojo and even Sukuna in power and speed. With his unaging body and advanced mastery of powerful and destructive cursed techniques, Yuji even outlives Yuta Okkotsu and Maki Zenin, leaving him as one of the last remaining legendary sorcerers who fought alongside Gojo in the modern era.

While Yuji has truly assumed the role Gojo once filled due to his immense powers, it was always inevitable that he would eventually reach a similar or higher level of power as one of Gojo's most promising students. His potential to stand alongside Gojo and even surpass him has always been present.
