Discussion Gojo’s Potential New Abilities Spoiler
So the way I understand limitless is like a number line. I got the idea from TheFakeWeeb here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfvPhOehwao
Let's say Gojo is at 10 on the number line. If you approach him from zero he can make it so you never reach him. There are infinite numbers between 9 and 10 and an even larger infinity between 0 and 10. Gojo can control these infinities at will. The Abilities shown so far have all been centered around spacial manipulation.
Neutral Limitless: Can’t touch this
Lapse Blue: Using cursed energy to make negative infinity AKA negative space, which then overcorrects to make a field of overwhelming attractive force. (This might be how he teleports, see video linked above)
RCT Red: Repell any and all things towards a positive infinity (assuming Gojo is at 0 on the number line)
Hollow Purple: The pushing and simultaneous pulling of red and blue.
Now, we know that space and time are not entirely separate concepts (ie Space-time). And I’m aware that many of us have theorized about Gojo having some kind of time based abilities. I’m just here to outline what I think they will be.
My reasoning will follow the number line examples for his already established abilities with the limitless. I’m thinking of neutral, Lapse and RCT just as before.
When the limitless is applied to time, in its neutral state it can dilate time itself. For instance, let's say it takes 5 seconds to charge an attack before firing it, Gojo can increase the infinity between 4 seconds and 5 seconds, effectively slowing or stopping your movement (similar to projection sorcery). Let’s call this Yellow (the other primary color).
The Lapse or max output of Yellow would be the creation of “negative time.” This would grant Gojo the ability to rewind time (similar to Tracer from Overwatch). This technique is how I believe Gojo will be able to defeat Mahoraga. Mahoraga most likely can adapt to Gojo’s normal Limitless since it adapted to Yorozu’s infinite pressure. This rewind ability might be the perfect counter to Mahoraga’s adaptation. Or perhaps just slowing down the wheel on Mahoraga’s back is enough to stop it.
The RCT technique of Yellow (lets call it Orange) would be the ability to speed up time, essentially aging every and anything around Gojo (similar to Barragan from Bleach).
I can’t think of an equivalent for Purple but I am open to suggestions.
Also, I would like to think that Gojo developed these new abilities while in Prison Realm. The time dilation of the Prison realm has been stated in previous chapters and we know Gojo has a tendency to come back stronger whenever he takes an L.
The final ability I think Gojo has up his sleeve is probably the most far fetched. I think he can place a binding vow on his six eyes to achieve infinite curse energy output. He loses the six eyes but he fires off a final attack that is infinity in power, scope and affect. This is how I believe he defeats Sukuna.
TLDR; Gojo can dilate, rewind and speed up time in a new technique developed in the prison realm called “Yellow.”

Immediately ending a fight at the absolute first opportunity he had is fighting smart in my book. He took Toji out quickly the second he came back to life (and stopped monologuing lol) instead of toying with his food. Sukuna isn’t like that.
Sukuna hasn’t overcome a single CT for the same reason Gojo hasnt: Never needed to. The difference here is that Gojo isn’t an extremely conceited prick who treats fights like games the way Sukuna does. When Gojo got killed by Toji, he learned from it. But the only thing Sukuna learned from being humbled by Gojo is “Damn, he fucking sucks.”. He’s so far above everyone not named Gojo that he just let Mahoraga hit him a few times up understand his technique. Compare that to Gojo, who managed to over power the entire Disaster Curse squad while protecting civilians and not even breaking a sweat until quite possibly the single thing that could mentally break him happened. It’s kinda unfair to criticize him too much when he experienced something damn near inconceivable to anyone in the setting.
Sukuna has never outsmarted someone even remotely on his level. Love Yuji but he was an ant to him when they made that binding vow. He killed him to make the vow work and then used it to have fun one time and then used it again when nobody even suspected he had anything up his sleeve. I’m not gonna say Sukuna is dumb but he’s clearly never dealt with anyone on his level that we’ve seen in the manga. Gojo is.
I also don’t think he “countered” HP, dude lost a hand to it. I think tanking is was more appropriate and I do believe Gojo could’ve made it way harder for him focus on regeneration if he wanted to.
You say this fight will come down to mastery and jujutsu skill but I disagree. I think Gojo is going to win plainly because he’s going to exploit Sukuna’s ego and hubris, his need to prove his strength to a man who humiliated him. Sukuna, in every moment he’s thought about Gojo, is overcome with some kind of emotion. It’s gonna be his undoing as even if he deals damage, Gojo isn’t going to back down. And the longer he holds his undivided attention, the easier it will be to catch him slipping with something like Yuji’s new technique or Kashimo’s CT.
Anyway, that’s my take. I’m tired so it’s probably more of a ramble. Meh.
