Gojo vs Sukuna manga fight Jujutsu Kaisen

The Gojo vs. Sukuna fight in Jujutsu Kaisen spans 15 chapters — from Chapter 221 through Chapter 236. If you're trying to track down where the fight starts, how long it runs, or exactly when it ends, this is your complete chapter list.

It's one of the longest, most technically complex fights in modern shonen manga, and it ends in a way that split the fandom down the middle. Here's every chapter, what happens in each, and where to read them.

How Many Chapters Is the Gojo vs. Sukuna Fight?

15 chapters total — Chapters 221 through 236 of Jujutsu Kaisen. The fight begins when Gojo confronts Sukuna (inhabiting Megumi's body) in Shinjuku and ends with one of the most controversial conclusions in recent manga history.

This fight is sometimes called the "Shinjuku Showdown" or the "Gojo vs. Sukuna: 15 Chapters War" by the fandom. It's the longest sustained battle in JJK, featuring Domain Expansion clashes, Hollow Purple, Malevolent Shrine, and the Ten Shadows Technique at full power.

Where Does the Gojo vs. Sukuna Fight Start?

The fight begins in Chapter 221, titled "Return." This is the chapter where Gojo is finally unsealed from the Prison Realm after being trapped since Chapter 90. He arrives in Shinjuku during the Culling Game, immediately challenges Sukuna (who is possessing Megumi Fushiguro at this point), and the fight is on within the same chapter.

If you're reading chronologically and want to start fresh at the fight: open Volume 24 of the manga or scroll to Chapter 221 in any official reader (Viz Media's Shonen Jump or Manga Plus).

Where Does the Fight End?

The fight officially concludes in Chapter 236. It's one of the most debated endings in modern shonen — Gojo wins the battle but loses his life in the same chapter. Sukuna, despite being critically damaged, survives and the story continues.

Chapter 236 is titled "Your Other Name" and features Gojo's death rendered as a conversation with fallen allies in a kind of in-between space. It's emotionally brutal and narratively divisive — many readers felt it undercut the victory. If you want to understand the fandom debate, this is the chapter.

How Long Is the Full Fight Arc?

The lead-up to the fight (Gojo's unsealing, the build-up in Shinjuku) starts around Chapter 210. The actual combat runs Chapters 221–236. The immediate aftermath and fallout extends through Chapter 238–240. If you want the full Shinjuku arc context, read Chapters 210–240 (roughly 3 volumes).
