After delivering Riko Amanai’s corpse to the Star Organization, Toji reveled in his success, having completed his mission and secured a massive payday.

However, on his way back, Gojo intercepted him. Gojo casually greeted Toji, remarking that it had been a while. Toji was stunned to see Gojo alive, having assumed the sorcerer was already dead.

Here Are the 3 Factors Behind Satoru Gojo’s Victory Over Toji:

1. Satoru Gojo Mastered the Reverse Cursed Technique

Gojo explained to Toji how he had returned from the dead to stand before him once more. On the brink of death, he had finally managed to master the Reverse Cursed Technique.

Although Shoko had previously taught both Gojo and Geto how it worked, neither had been able to grasp it at the time.

While bleeding out, Gojo experienced an epiphany. He realized that cursed energy was inherently negative, something he had only ever used to reinforce his body.

Much like multiplying negative integers in mathematics, Gojo successfully multiplied two sources of negative energy to create positive energy. This allowed him to regenerate his body and heal the fatal wounds he had suffered.

Gojo further explained that during their previous clash, the exact moment Toji plunged the Inverted Spear of Heaven into his throat, he gave up on counterattacking and poured everything into grasping the Reverse Cursed Technique.

Gojo then pointed out Toji’s fatal mistake: Toji had failed to sever or crush his head with the cursed tool.

2. Satoru Gojo Mastered the Red Technique

Sensing the true battle was just beginning, Toji—the deadly and formidable Sorcerer Killer—braced for a rematch. Combining his blinding superhuman speed with the Inverted Spear of Heaven, Toji relentlessly tried to slash Gojo. Yet, like a phantom, Gojo effortlessly evaded every single strike.

Suddenly, Gojo vanished entirely from Toji’s line of sight mid-swing. He reappeared instantly behind the assassin, leaving Toji utterly stunned by his lightning-fast movements.

Then, floating upside down in the air, Gojo unleashed his newly mastered Red technique. Toji attempted to block the blast with the Inverted Spear of Heaven. However, the positive energy of Red was so overwhelmingly powerful that it launched Toji backward, sending him crashing violently into concrete.

3. Satoru Gojo Mastered Hollow Purple

Born into the Zenin clan, Toji was intimately familiar with the Gojo clan’s Infinity technique. He knew all about Gojo’s untouchable defense, the Blue technique’s gravitational pull, and the devastating repulsive force of Red.

Because of this, Toji felt no fear; he was confident he could easily anticipate and counter everything Gojo threw at him.

Shifting to long-range combat, the Sorcerer Killer attached his long iron chain to the Inverted Spear of Heaven. Like a massive whip, Toji swung the weapon with terrifying force at Gojo, who was floating midair. Yet, moving with uncanny fluidity, Gojo easily dodged every attack.

Declaring his absolute supremacy, Gojo proclaimed, “Throughout heaven and earth, I alone am the honored one.” Gojo realized that while inherited cursed techniques came with a manual of sorts, their glaring weakness was that their secrets easily leaked—exactly as Toji had demonstrated.

In response, Gojo prepared a technique known only to a select few within the Gojo clan. He merged Blue and Red, giving birth to Hollow Purple—an imaginary mass that erases everything in its path.

With a snap of his fingers, Gojo fired the purple sphere of energy directly at Toji. The blast carved a massive hole straight through Toji’s torso, ultimately ending his life.

In his final moments, Toji acknowledged that Gojo was the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer of the modern era. Although he had tried to deny it by testing himself against the newly awakened true power of Infinity, he had lost.

Toji realized that the ultimate cause of his defeat was deviating from his own core principle: he hated taking on unpaid work and normally would have just walked away, but his pride had made him stay and fight Gojo.
