Gojo (Peak) vs Goku (Mastered Ultra Instinct)
Mastered Ultra Instinct Goku is several tiers stronger than Gojo, but that doesn't decide it: Infinity stops every attack before it arrives, and in Jujutsu Kaisen hitting harder never gets through. His speed doesn't help either, because every punch still has to cross Infinity. Gojo does have a finish, because nothing on record lets Goku resist Unlimited Void. Going all out doesn't change it. Goku could destroy the planet, but his planet-busting blasts need several seconds of charge, long enough for Gojo to land Unlimited Void first. And Goku can't survive in space: Instant Transmission needs someone's ki to lock onto, and there is nobody out there.
- Nothing Goku has gets through Infinity
- Unlimited Void is the only finish
- All out, his planet-busting blasts are too slow, and he has nowhere to teleport to
Satoru Gojo, the strongest sorcerer in Jujutsu Kaisen. His Limitless technique, steered by the Six Eyes, creates Infinity: a space attacks can never cross. This is Gojo at his peak.
Goku from Dragon Ball Super in Mastered Ultra Instinct, the state the angels fight in, where his body dodges and counters on its own without conscious thought.
The full breakdown
For the stat fans: every check the engine ran, fighting in character and with no holding back (engine v1.8.21).
In Character
In short
Goku is far stronger than Gojo on raw power, but raw power is not what decides this one. Only Gojo can shut Goku down. Goku has no route that works here — everything available is either stopped or survivable, so Goku cannot close the fight out. Only Gojo has a finishing win-condition — decisive structural edge; Goku is stronger on paper but has no way to end the fight. Gojo wins: not by being stronger, but because Gojo is the only one who can end the fight.
The tables below show every check behind this, with the numbers the engine used.
Full engine breakdown
Power bracket
| Fighter | Bracket |
|---|---|
| Gojo | 6 |
| Goku | 10 |
Gap of 4. Awards 380 points to Goku.
Ability interactions
| Type | Interaction | Points |
|---|---|---|
| regen | Gojo heals too fast for Goku to win just by wearing them down | — |
| invulnerability | Goku out-tiers the attacker; durability gate raised +3 (now 8) | — |
Soft counter: reduces an ability's effectiveness without nullifying it. Hard counter: the ability does not function against this opponent at all.
Win conditions tested
| Check | Gojo | Goku |
|---|---|---|
| Kill | FAILED reach 5, needs 8 | FAILED stopped before contact |
| Contain | FAILED reach 6 — a temporary hold, needs 8 to be permanent | FAILED no containment method |
| Shut down | PASS 8 vs Goku's 0 | NO |
A kill lands only when the attacker's reach meets or beats the defender's resistance. Containment must clear two bars: it has to out-reach the opponent's escape and reach 8 to hold permanently — below that it is a temporary hold that lapses. A fighter who fails both cannot end the fight, however much damage they do — which is how an outmatched fighter can still force a stalemate.
Can they threaten at all?
| Fighter | Has a usable offensive route |
|---|---|
| Gojo | YES |
| Goku | YES |
This checks only whether a fighter can meaningfully attack at all. It is tested before the win conditions above — so a fighter can pass here and still have no way to finish the opponent.
Rulings
| Gojo has no rating for resisting being knocked out or shut down, so it is read from their tier as 3 rather than as none (incap resistance 0 -> 3) |
| Goku has no rating for resisting being knocked out or shut down, so it is read from their tier as 7 rather than as none (incap resistance 0 -> 7) |
| Nothing protects Goku from Gojo's flood of endless information. Researched: Ultra Instinct lets his body move without deliberate thought, but every time it is shown Goku's mind is awake and calm (DBS ch. 39, 52, 64); it has never kept fighting with his mind knocked out, and dodging is no use against a sure-hit |
| Goku has destroyed planets before and could take the planet out from under Gojo's Infinity, but only by going all out (bloodlust) -- in this fight they do not |
| Gojo's Infinity stops every blow that has to cross the gap -- Goku has no way through it (no domain, conceptual, reality or target-local route, and no instant battlefield-destroying finish they can survive), so no blow that has to reach Gojo ever lands, however much stronger Goku is |
| Gojo can put Goku out of the fight without killing them — incapacitation 8 against resistance 0 |
| Only Gojo has a valid win condition (a kill, a hold or a shutdown) — Goku cannot end the fight |
| Only Gojo has a finishing win-condition -> decisive structural edge (+200); Goku is stronger on paper but has no way to end the fight |
Final score
| Key awards | Points |
|---|---|
| Only Gojo has a valid win condition (a kill, a hold or a shutdown) — Goku cannot end the fight | +150 |
| Only Gojo has a finishing win-condition -> decisive structural edge | +200 |

No Holding Back
In short
Morals make no difference to this one — it resolves exactly as above.
