After Toji handed over Riko Amanai’s body to the Star Religious Group, he was satisfied that he had completed his mission and earned a significant payment.
However, on his way home, Toji was stopped by Gojo. Gojo greeted Toji, saying it had been a long time since their last encounter. Toji was shocked to see Gojo alive, despite believing that he had already killed him.
Here are the 3 Factors Behind Gojo Satoru’s Victory Against Toji:
1. Gojo Satoru Masters the Reverse Curse Technique
Gojo explained to Toji how he managed to rise from the dead. He reappeared before Toji because he had successfully mastered the Reverse Curse Technique at the brink of death. Although Shoko had previously taught Gojo and Geto how the Reverse Curse Technique works, both of them struggled to fully grasp it.
While in a critical condition, Gojo experienced a moment of enlightenment. He realized that cursed energy is essentially negative energy, which had always been used to strengthen his body. Similar to the mathematical concept of integers, Gojo managed to combine two negative energies, resulting in positive energy. As a result, he was able to use it to regenerate his body and heal from the severe injuries he had sustained.
Gojo also pointed out that during their previous fight, when Toji stabbed his throat with the Inverted Spear of Heaven, Gojo chose to stop attacking and instead focused all his efforts on utilizing the Reverse Curse Technique. He then highlighted Toji’s critical mistake: failing to end his life by decapitating or completely destroying his head using the weapon.
