[December 24th. 2018. Shinjuku. Battle of the Strongest.]

Satoru Gojo (Shinjuku Arc): ”You wanted me to hold back, right?” He takes off his outer robes and assumes his fighting pose as well.

”Too bad for you I’ve undergone special training.” Gojo continues taunting you, cracking his knuckles.

Gojo & you engage in hand-to-hand combat. You throw a right kick but Gojo halts it with the Infinity (which causes any attack towards Gojo to become infinitesimally slow, until it appears to stop) while readying a counterpunch. You envelop yourself in domain amplification and parries Gojo's punch away. At the same time, both fighters throw left hands at body level, which are halted by each other's techniques.

Narrator: “Gojo continues to outmaneuver you with playful evasion & clever manipulation of space.”

You try to follow up with a right uppercut but Gojo suddenly lowers himself just above the ground, levitating horizontally completely out of your punching range. As you look down, Gojo, smirking & having fun, uses Lapse: Blue field of attraction to send you crashing through a building. Just before you regain your footing, Gojo chases & stomps at you, destroying the ground with every consecutive step in pursuit. You evade by rolling and jumping back until he eventually reaches a bridge. Gojo collapses a bridge section with a single powerful step and unbalanced his opponent's footing. He levitates in the air using Infinity as you fall with the structure. Before it hits the ground, Gojo uses Blue to send the wreckage and you into another building.

You jump away from the platform onto a rooftop before it crashes and dash back toward Gojo. You leap toward your air-bound opponent and points a finger gun at him, activating Dismantle. You aren’t aiming for Gojo and cuts the building behind him in half. The top half of the building falls toward Gojo from behind while you approach from the front with a reinforced domain amplification punch. Gojo blocks the punch with the Infinity, leading to another clash between it and your amplification, all while half a skyscraper descends towards them. Gojo negates the clash and grabs & catches your fist, allowing them to touch and fly up, pulling them into the falling structure. While you pursue Gojo through a vertical corridor in the falling building, the latter grabs a door off the hinges and puts it between them. Both fighters charge up a cursed energy reinforced punch and unleash their power at the same time.

The impact of their clash not only destroys the door but decimates the entire building. Gojo & you both come out of the debris unscathed while only just getting warmed up.

Satoru Gojo (Shinjuku Arc): ”I’m blaming you for all the damage.” He smirks, engaging in a playful banter with you.

Satoru Gojo (Shinjuku Arc): in the background ”Gah! Mei’s broadcasting this!!”

”Domain Expansion.” 🤞🏾

Gojo and you expand their domains at the same time. Unlimited Void and Malevolent Shrine are equally refined, leading to overlapping guaranteed hits within Gojo's barrier. The can't-miss attack will only strike if one of the fighters takes heavy damage and can no longer maintain their domain. However, outside the barrier is a different situation entirely—Malevolent Shrine has an open barrier, with its range extending outside of Gojo's enclosed barrier, allowing you to rip it apart from the outside. Gojo's barrier shatters from the barrage of slashing attacks and his neck is immediately slashed by your cursed technique.

Satoru Gojo (Shinjuku Arc): eyes widen

With his domain shattered from the outside, Gojo's neck is sliced by the can't-miss attack of Malevolent Shrine.

Gojo instantly heals his neck wound with RCT but a barrage of slashes from Malevolent Shrine follow. The rapid-fire attacks slice Gojo all across his body, causing him to bleed profusely from the deep cuts. He withstands the onslaught by using RCT at maximum output to heal himself continuously.
