Gojo vs. Madara: Who Would Win & Why?

Satoru Gojo and Madara Uchiha are two of the most popular characters in their respective series who are also hailed as incredibly strong beings. Gojo is the strongest in his universe, and Madara is one of the most powerful and iconic characters of Naruto. With their legendary powers, we have to wonder who would win if there were to be a Gojo vs. Madara battle.

Gojo, from Jujutsu Kaisen, possesses an incredible amount of cursed energy. As a member of one of the three great Jujutsu Sorcerer houses, he is already plenty powerful, but his Six Eyes and Limitless secure his position as the world’s strongest.

On the other hand, we have Madara, from Naruto, who is one of the strongest ninjas to have ever lived and rose to the height of a god after becoming the vessel of the Ten-Tails. When he was alive, Madara was already an exceptional ninja, bested only by Hashirama Senju.

Hypothetically, if a battle were to be fought between these two, it’d be a grand affair. They both have plenty in their arsenals to make them frightening enemies. But in the end, Madara Uchiha will turn out to be the ultimate victor if there were a Gojo vs. Madara fight. Here we are referring Madara in ten tails jinchuriki form.

Why? In this article, we’re going to discuss exactly that and get into their powers and abilities, as well as how Madara will win the Gojo vs. Madara battle.

Satoru Gojo: Power Level and Abilities

Satoru Gojo

Gojo is acknowledged and feared by allies and enemies alike. He is also one of only four Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerers in the world, though his powers undeniably surpass everyone else’s.

Power Level & Abilities

  • Gojo possesses Limitless as his primary Jujutsu technique, which is an innate technique of the Gojo clan. Limitless grants its total user control over space through cursed energy manipulation, which in turn affects space on an atomic level.
  • Limitless’ neutral form is Infinity which works on the principle of Achilles and the Tortoise, that creates infinite numbers of hypothetical checkposts between Gojo and the outside force, making anything that comes within its range infinitely slower, thus never reaching its destination. This ability makes Gojo practically untouchable unless the man himself wants it to touch him.
  • Limitless has two other forms: Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue and Cursed Technique Reversal: Red, which cause severe repulsion and attraction effects, respectively. 
  • Gojo is also blessed with the Six Eyes, which appears very rarely in the line of the Gojo clan. In fact, the Six Eyes have manifested in Satoru after 400 years. It allows him to use Limitless to 100% of its potential.
  • The Six Eyes significantly reduces the cursed energy consumption of any technique used by Gojo to nearly nothing, which makes his already huge cursed energy reserve potentially endless. It also allows Gojo to perceive the world more viscerally in terms of mass, speed, energy, etc.
  • Gojo’s strongest and most effective use of his cursed energy is his Domain Expansion. In fact, his Domain is one of the most powerful and dangerous domains in the series, obviously affected by Gojo’s immense cursed energy and his overall power.
  • His Domain, Unlimited Void, traps his opponent in an endless void and fills their mind with infinite knowledge, rendering them catatonic.
  • The Domain is not only extremely lethal but Gojo can even increase its range to make it more difficult to escape or decrease the range to make its effects more intense.
  • Gojo combines Red and Blue to create a completely new technique called Purple Hollow, which is a long-range, high-powered singularity that destroys everything in its path.
  • Another incredible feat Gojo has mastered is the Reverse Cursed Technique which is extremely rare even among the best of Jujutsu Sorcerers. Gojo uses the Reverse Curse Technique to heal himself.

Madara Uchiha: Power Level and Abilities

Madara Uchiha

Madara appears in quite a few forms in the series and is extremely powerful in all of them, the strongest one being the Ten-Tails jinchuriki. Along with his immense chakra reserve, he has a lot going for him.

Power Level & Abilities

  • As an Uchiha, Madara’s natural chakra affinity is Fire Release, but he is able to use all five basic chakra natures as well as Yin and Yang Release. After infusing himself with Hashirama’s DNA, he can also use Wood Release.
  • Having awakened his Sharingan as a child, Madara was proficient at using it and was very skilled at genjutsu. He gains the Mangekyo Sharingan after the death of his brother, Izuna, which gives him the ability to use Susanoo.
  • Madara’s Susanoo is the first fully formed Susanoo we see in the series. He is even able to summon the Susanoo even without having eyes in his sockets.
  • As a result of infusing Hashirama’s DNA into his body, Madara awakens Rinnegan, which gives him the ability to use Six Paths Techniques. After becoming the jinchuriki of Ten-Tails, he awakens the Rinne Sharingan, which he uses to reflect onto the moon to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
  • As the jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails, he gains godlike power, including immense strength, speed, unlimited chakra reserve, and the affinity to harness natural power. He can also absorb all and any ninjutsu.
  • The Ten-Tails jinchuriki form also provides him with Truth-Seeking Balls, which are made of the five basic chakra natures and are very malleable that act as a shield for him without a conscious effort.
  • Madara also has Limbo, a special jutsu that allows him to create clones of himself that live in a parallel dimension and can travel between the dimensions at will.

Gojo vs. Madara: Who Would Win and Comparison

If there were a Gojo vs. Madara fight to break out, Madara would ultimately come out as the winner. It’d be a tough battle for both parties, and the win will certainly not be easy.

But the reason Madara will, in the end, dominate the fight against Gojo is that the Uchiha has superior physical prowess and a sneaky way to get past Gojo’s ultimate defense.

Before turning into the Ten-tails jinchuriki, Madara would’ve had to struggle to win against Gojo. But even then, he would’ve had the advantage of genjutsu.

Capturing Gojo into a genjutsu wouldn’t have been an issue since he has no way to counter that. And with that one step, the Gojo vs. Madara fight would be over.

As the Ten-tails jinchuriki, Madara has the upper hand in every aspect. Gojo is certainly no weak opponent, and if he manages to trap Madara in his Domain, the fight will end then and there too. But then again, with his speed and battle experience, Madara will not give Gojo a chance to employ his strongest weapon.

Okay, now let’s get into the details and see how each aspect of their powers will play into the Gojo vs. Madara fight.

1) Based on Strength

Based on Strength

When a character is as strong as Gojo or Madara, they hardly need strength to win their battles. However, that’s not to say that Gojo and Madara aren’t physically strong. In fact, they both possess tremendous physical strength. Gojo’s demonstration of strength is shown when he rips cursed spirits apart without problem, like ripping out Jogo’s head and arm and the roots coming out of Hanami’s eyes.

But Madara’s strength is otherworldly, especially in his Six Paths form. Even before Madara becomes the Ten-Tails’ jinchuriki, he wields his massive fan with ease. After achieving his Six Paths form, his strength only increases. Though Madara never displays outlandish demonstrations of his strength, it’s clear that he’s superior to mortal beings. So, it’s no surprise that Madara earns an easy win in terms of strength.


2) Based on Speed

In Jujutsu Kaisen, Gojo is the pinnacle of a jujutsu sorcerer. He’s the strongest and fastest there is. Not only is he a very fast fighter who is able to move and react exceptionally quickly in battle but he is also shown to be capable of teleporting. A clear example of Gojo’s speed is when he eliminates a thousand transfigured humans in only five minutes. 

Madara, on the other hand, is also extremely fast. Just like Gojo is the strongest in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe, Madara is a legendary shinobi who is known to be one of the strongest in history in the Naruto universe. In fights, speed offers a tremendous advantage to the fighter and Madara’s reputation is enough to guess how fast he really is.

As for the examples of Madara’s speed, he is able to attack Sage Mode Naruto whose speed is already astounding. After becoming the Ten-Tails’ jinchuriki, his speed becomes inferior only to Maito Gai.

But no matter how fast Madara is, he isn’t the fastest in his universe while Gojo has shown feats no other character in his universe has been able to. So, this speed round goes to Satoru Gojo.


3) Based on Abilities

Based on Abilities

Madara and Gojo both have enviable abilities and powers. Gojo’s Infinity makes it almost impossible to touch him, but with the help of the Limbo clones, who are from a parallel dimension and thus can’t be affected by Gojo’s cursed technique, Madara can accomplish that.

There’s also a chance of Gojo catching Madara in his Domain, in which case there’s nothing Madara can do but be defeated. But Madara is extremely fast, and there’s a probability of him winning if he can use his Limbo clones to kill Gojo before the latter has the time to activate his Domain Expansion.

As for the wildly dangerous Purple Hollow, Madara is fast enough to dodge that, given its long-range nature. So, Madara Uchiha turns out to be the superior in this Gojo vs. Madara battle.


4) Based on Durability

Gojo is a fairly durable character, as evident when he survives the lethal wounds given by Toji Fushiguro and defeats the man. But Gojo’s durability hasn’t had much chance to be proved as the man is the strongest in his universe.

It almost never comes to a point when he may need to be durable in battle, the only exception being the previously mentioned fight.

In contrast, Madara is an extremely durable man who survived even after seemingly being killed by Hashirama during their fight at the Valley of the End.

He’s durable enough to survive after being hit by Eight Gates Guy, which should’ve killed anyone. He’s also one of the very few characters who live through a Tailed Beast extraction. So Madara definitely wins based on durability.


5) Based on Regeneration

Based on Regeneration

While regeneration is not a crucial aspect of a fight, in shounen anime, it is pretty common. Regeneration gives the fighter the capability to reverse the damage they suffered and in turn, makes the fighter able to fight at their full strength and ferocity.

Both Gojo and Madara are capable of regeneration. Gojo is one of the very few jujutsu sorcerers who can use the Reverse Cursed Technique to heal himself. Later in the story, Gojo can also regenerate his amputated arm with RCT. It’s a very rare feat for a jujutsu sorcerer.

Now, coming to Madara. After being brought back by the Reanimation Jutsu, Madara gains an indestructible body that regenerates itself automatically. Besides, in his Six Paths form, Madara is practically immortal. However, while the shinobi is capable of very fast regeneration, he still falls behind Gojo in this aspect because Gojo can not only regenerate his body but also his burnt-out Cursed Technique. 

That’s why even though Madara’s regeneration is fearsome, we’ll have to give this round to Gojo.


Conclusion

From our discussion, it is clearly evident that in the battle of Gojo vs. Madara, Madara takes the cake and comes as the ultimate winner. That is not to say that Gojo is inferior to him. We must remember that they are from different universes, and thus, the power levels of their universes are different. Gojo may be the strongest in his universe, but that may not be the case for any other story universe. Regardless, Madara Uchiha turns out to be the winner today.
