Satoru Gojo
Satoru Gojo was born destined to be the strongest of his era. He is the second-strongest sorcerer, far ahead of the third. With his Limitless technique, he can control space itself, adjusting distances to shield himself from attacks. His Six Eyes ability boosts his perception and cursed energy control, making him almost untouchable. When he uses his Domain Expansion, Infinite Void, enemies get flooded with information, leaving them dazed and helpless. Gojo has skill, confidence, and power—all in one.
However, some argue that despite his god-like power, someone else might surpass him, suggesting that Gojo is not unbeatable. He even acknowledges that Sukuna is very strong after their fight, saying there was a chance that the King of Curses could defeat him even without the Ten Shadows technique. This idea keeps the balance of power in check, making Gojo the second-strongest sorcerer in theory.
