In recent days it has become a trend for fans to simulate a confrontation between Makima of Chainsaw Man and Satoru Gojo of Jujutsu Kaisen. This was derived from the fact that the Internet program “DEATH BATTLE!“, which is based on the idea of facing characters from video games, comics, anime, manga, literature, television series, movies and even real life.
In this confrontation, the result ends in the victory of Satoru Gojopointing out that he is much more powerful, has better area control and that his abilities exceed Makima’s regeneration capabilities, in addition to also having enough abilities to counteract her offensive abilities. While Makima is faster than Gojo and her abilities can counter some of Gojo’s abilities, her disadvantages greatly work against her.

Satoru Gojo and Makima are high-ranking authorities in their respective demon hunter organizations; Gojo is a professor at the Jujutsu Institute and Makima heads a division of Public Security Demon Hunters. They both took the protagonists under their wing and act as mentors to the main trios. They have different methods of teaching their charges. Gojo teaches Yuji and his friends to rely on their individual strengths, while Makima sends the Demon Hunters to help Denji and his friends from the sidelines.
They are both the most powerful characters in their parent series, and because of this enemies tend to be terrified of them. Suguro Geto’s team had to block Gojo somehow to prevent him from interfering with their plans, and Makima was a regular assassination target. His two allies dislike them for various reasons; Gojo loves to mess with people, while Makima is involved in a lot of mysteries. Both can manipulate space in some way: for example, Gojo’s Cursed Technique grants him absolute control of space with an area, while Makima can crush her enemies with an invisible force. Both also have powerful, hypnotizing eyes, and are often depicted wearing dark clothing.
Beneath their façade, they can be downright ruthless.; Gojo personally decapitated a Cursed Being with his bare hands, while Makima showed the Yakuza members a bag with the eyes of her loved ones to work for her. They both consider themselves superior to others and can back it up with their immense power.
And of course, the confrontation and its result were not going to go unnoticed:
- «Makima is terrifying. I can’t wait to see everything animated».
- «Makima’s main failing here was that she NEEDED to prove her dominance. She couldn’t just kill Gojo with finger guns, which she also had the ability to do, she had to prove, even if only to herself, that she could control ANYONE.».
- «It’s funny that, in theory, a group of speedsters can hit Gojo because they have surpassed infinite speed».
- «Since we are going to consider Demons and their powers as curses, that means that Makima’s control would be a cursed technique, which can be nullified by Gojo. That’s how the whole “no mind control” thing works by the way.».
- «This seems like a real question of whether or not Gojo can take down Makima for good.».
- «It may seem like a strange matchup, but seeing this made me want to see Toji Fushiguro against Zabuza Momochi».
- «The fact that both fandoms have come together and expect just one person to lose is amazing.».
- «Dude, the total amount of time I spent watching Gojo being obnoxious to Makima in the beginning is more than the actual fight itself.».
- «Doing the mid domain expansion by skipping your contract is definitely a brave move but I respect it.».
- «It’s interesting to think that Gojo has just semi-vegetated all the Japanese with his Domain Expansion».
- «I don’t blame Makima for starting the fight, I’d be pissed too if a loud guy sat next to me and started eating my popcorn without my permission at the movies. The way the fight started was hilarious I’m not going to lie».
- «My personal logic too for the Unlimited Curse Technique to bypass Makima’s flesh shield contract is that Gojo is not attacking her, but rather giving her what she wants. Makima likes to know and understand how a person works, so of course the Domain Expansion was giving her what she wanted, but her mind was too stimulated by that information to lay it bare and avoid duplication. of the body..
- «It is debatable whether Makima’s telekinesis would bypass the Unlimited Curse Technique, even if the telekinetic blasts are massless they would have cursed energy since the “demons = curses” equalization was made and infinity would have reacted to that, after all Sukuna had the same problem for most of the fight until he found a way to make his slashes hit everything through, so the infinite distance didn’t matter».
