Jujutsu Kaisen has gained a reputation for its captivating action scenes, dark & gruesome themes, and wide range of characters. Among these characters is Ryomen Sukuna, who stands as one of the strongest beings in the series. Known as the King of Curses, Sukuna instills fear in both sorcerers and curses alike, making his defeat seem impossible. However, against all odds, certain characters within the Jujutsu Kaisen series have managed to come closer to defeating Sukuna.
Saturo Gojo is widely recognized as one of the characters who came close to defeating Sukuna. The clash between Gojo and Sukuna stirred up a level of excitement and anticipation within the series. While Gojo put up a great fight against the King of Curses, he ultimately fell just short of claiming victory. Gojo vs Sukuna is famous among fans due to Gojo's popularity and reputation as the most powerful sorcerer of the modern generation. However, there exists another character who also came remarkably close to defeating Sukuna.
An Unacknowledged Jujutsu Kaisen Character Who Humbled Sukuna
The encounter between Gojo and Sukuna ignited a fierce debate among fans, leading to an influx of memes and speculation on social media platforms about the result of this showdown, between the series' two most powerful characters. However, the debate concluded in Jujutsu Kaisen manga's Chapter 236, where Sukuna brutally killed Satoru Gojo. Interestingly, Chapter 213 hints at an overlooked character who nearly defeated the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna. In their face-off, Sukuna resorted to deception, pretending to be Megumi for self-preservation.
The person who came close to defeating Sukuna apart from Gojo was Hana Kurusu, a character from the Jujutsu Kaisen series. Hana made her appearance in the culling game, a tournament organized by Kenjaku. She hosts the ancient sorcerer Angel. She has set her sights on defeating Sukuna. She is also known as the fallen one. Unlike Yuji and Sukuna's antagonistic relationship, Hana and Angel work together and share the same interests and goals. When Sukuna took over Megumi's body, Hana noticed that Sukuna hadn't fully regained strength while in Megumi's body. Seeing an opportunity, she tried to separate Sukuna from Megumi before he could fully take control.
In order to prevent Sukuna from attaining full power and control while inhabiting Megumi's body, Angel resorted to a technique known as Jacobs Ladder. This move created a circle in the sky, which emitted a light that not only nullified any cursed techniques but also unexpectedly injured Sukuna. The confidence Sukuna initially possessed in overcoming Hana easily was shattered in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 213. He suddenly found himself on the verge of defeat, an unsettling position for him. In an attempt to save himself, Sukuna employed a deception by pretending that Megumi had regained control. He extended his arms as if inviting an embrace from the angel. Tragically, Hana fell into Sukuna's trap and suffered an injury to her right arm as he bit it off.
Hana has shown the ability to take on Sukuna and potentially emerge victorious. If she had been able to continue the fight, it's possible that she could have accomplished something, being the person to conquer the King of Curses. Hana is highly regarded for her skills, as a jujutsu sorcerer. Possesses great power, making her one of the few characters who come close to defeating Sukuna.
Fans have been debating the potential outcome of Hana's battle against Sukuna if she had avoided his trap. Some argue that she could have even surpassed the King of Curses, while others believe that Sukuna intentionally held back his power. While this is a subjective matter, there is no denying that Hana positioned herself uniquely against Sukuna, drawing comparisons and parallels to Satoru Gojo. In Gojo and Sukuna's battle, Gojo demonstrated his ability to confront Sukuna at his peak, a feat accomplished by only a select few. The potential outcome of Hana's victory or Sukuna's self-restraint remains a topic of debate among fans.
