Gojo Satoru is a main character in Jujutsu Kaisen and the undisputed greatest sorcerer alive. His mastery over cursed energy is so vast that he has yet to break a sweat despite encountering curses with monstrous power of their own. His ability, Infinity, makes him impervious to physical attacks, and his enemies are scratching their heads trying to figure out how to defeat him.
But outside of his own universe, there are characters capable of countering Gojo's space manipulation. Some could snatch victory in an instance, whilst others would be pushed to their absolute limit. Gojo's strength predictably leads to cockiness, but these characters might just humble the easy-going Sorcerer.
10 A Fully Powered Sukuna Would Pose A Threat To Gojo (Jujutsu Kaisen)
Gojo is widely acknowledged as the strongest Jujutsu character with access to unrivalled power. However, fans would agree that his main challenger would be the King of Curses himself. Sukuna's true strength is shrouded in mystery, much like his past. But we have already seen him dismantle special grade curses with ease and his peak power is rumored to be absolutely monstrous. Malevolent Shrine is the one domain expansion that can compete with Gojo's Infinite Void, and Sukuna's knowledge of cursed energy is astounding. Fans are dying to see these two heavyweights battle it out.
9 Chrollo Lucilfer's Collection Of Nen Abilities Makes Him Unpredictable (Hunter X Hunter)
Nen is a diverse and unpredictable power system used by the elite characters of Hunter X Hunter. Nen doesn't cater to pure power, instead, it relies on the imagination of the user to overcome their opposition. Chrollo Lucilfer is a Nen-master whose ability is stealing the abilities of others.
Due to possessing almost unrivalled skill, The leader of the Phantom Troupe has overcome countless adversaries and stolen plenty of Nen-skills in the process. The true extent of his powers is unknown, yet it's possible Chrollo has something in his locker that can counter Gojo's control of space. The fight still favors Gojo, but Chrollo should not be counted out.
8 Sasuke Uchiha's Sharingan Makes For A Multi-Dimensional Offense (Naruto)
As one of the two strongest ninja in history, Sasuke Uchiha is a complete monster. Recognized as a prodigy from a young age, Sasuke has progressed to reach unheralded heights, and his presence, alongside Naruto's, acts as a sort of nuclear deterrent, preventing war between the neighboring shinobi villages.
Gojo's abilities make him untouchable to almost all physical attacks. But Sasuke's skills extend beyond the physical and his Genjutsu could trap and torture Gojo. It can't be confirmed whether attacks like Amaterasu would work on the sorcerer, but Gojo has nothing in his arsenal that could threaten Sasuke's Susanoo. The shadow Hokage takes the majority.
7 Whis Can Rewind Time (Dragon Ball)
Whis is the guide angel attendant of Beerus and helps train the God Of Destruction. He is recognized as the strongest being in universe 7 and could make short work of both Vegeta and Goku. His most outstanding quality might be his ability to reverse time for up to 3 minutes, undoing any previous events.
This acts as a sort of get-out-of-jail-free card, but Whis is so powerful that he doesn't need to use it for personal reasons. Despite the immense strength of Dragon Ball characters, Whis is yet to break a sweat. The only characters capable of besting the angel are the other angels and Zeno. Gojo's manipulation of time and space is impressive, but Whis is on another level entirely.
6 Light Yagami Can Kill Any Human With The Stroke Of His Pen (Death Note)
Light Yagami is the twisted protagonist and later antagonist of Death Note. For a short while, Light was the most influential human in the world, controlling public and government behavior by combining his almost inhuman intellect with the supernatural abilities of his Death Note.
By writing someone's name in his book, the individual is guaranteed to die. Light can also manipulate an individual's actions before their death and decide how they die. Whilst Gojo's abilities far exceed that of any ordinary human, he is still human and therefore vulnerable to the abilities of Light's Death Note. It's possible Gojo can cheat death, but until he displays such an ability, Light Yagami can defeat the sorcerer.
5 Itachi Invades The Minds Of His Opponents (Naruto)
With Gojo almost impervious to physical attacks, his opponent is required to get creative in order to defeat him. Genjutsu is the ability to manipulate the chakra located in the brain, creating powerful illusions. No one does this better than Itachi Uchiha whose skill with the Sharingan is legendary.
Itachi's unparalleled intellect means he would find a way to trap Gojo in his infinite Tsukuyomi, an illusion where Itachi has complete control over time. Here, the Uchiha would torture Gojo until his mind gives out. Factor in his skill with Amaterasu and Izanami, and Itachi has a good chance at victory.
4 There Is No Defense Against Lelouch's Geass (Code Geass)
Physically underwhelming, Lelouch does not look like he belongs in the ring with the great Gojo Satoru. But his unique ability, known as Geass, hijacks a persons brain neurons and compels them to carry out Lelouch's exact order. The Britannian-born prodigy brilliantly used this ability alongside his unparalleled intellect to overthrow the totalitarian Britannian empire.
Every move Lelouch made was made from the perspective of a chess master, expertly moving pieces to succeed in this game of life. Gojo is a lot smarter than he acts, but he hasn't demonstrated the terrifying foresight that Lelouch has. The young protagonist could trick Gojo into falling prey to his Geass.
3 Johan Liebert Uses His Monstrous Charisma To Defeat His Adversary (Monster)
Johan Liebert is the antagonist of the critically-acclaimed anime Monster and a terrifying force of nature. Physically he is your average human, vulnerable to things like disease and ageing. He has no special power granted to him by a god, and any attack from Gojo would kill Johan, but that's not what makes Johan a terrifying opponent.
Possessing almost inhuman levels of charisma, Johan can immediately identify his targets insecurities and force them to address their own dark side. The minute Johan opens his mouth, his opponent has already lost and Gojo's fun-loving nature would be dismantled eventually.
2 Julius Novachrono Has Complete Mastery Over Time (Black Clover)
Julius Novachrono is the Wizard King of the Clover Kingdom and the undisputed strongest mage in Black Clover. He wields Time Magic, granting him the power to manipulate time. This means he can accelerate, decelerate, stop and reverse time. With such a tremendous ability, he can defeat opponents in countless ways.
The clash between Julius' time manipulation and Gojo's Infinity would make for an interesting battle and raises questions about the nuances of both powers. Can Julius' mana zone bypass Gojo's Infinity? A victory for Julius certainly isn't guaranteed, but he's definitely one of the few anime characters that can challenge the eccentric sorcerer.
1 There Are No Limits To Nanika's Power (Hunter X Hunter)
If there's one thing anime constantly reminds fans, it's that you should never judge a book by its cover. By all appearances, Nanika is nothing more than a young girl with the mind and temperament typical of her age. She's not a fighter and is quick to cry when scared, but her actual power has resulted in her being locked away in a highly secure room. Nanika is an entity that possesses Alluka Zoldyck and her power is a form of wish-granting. Nanika can make anything happen but with disastrous consequences. If she wanted, she could wipe Gojo from existence.
