The implication is clear: Gojo was not necessarily outmatched, he simply got caught off guard.
His ability to exploit even the slightest opening proved to be the edge he needed.
Sukuna knew Gojo would be overconfident after defeating Mahoraga, and he used this expectation to his advantage.
By hiding his true capabilities and waiting for the right moment, Sukuna capitalized on Gojos misplaced assurance.
Geges commentary implies that Sukunas victory was as much about psychological warfareas it was about physical dominance.
He was not just stronger, he was smarter at that moment.
Ultimately, Geges insight does not diminish Gojos power inJujutsu Kaisen, it highlights the complexity of their battle.
And in that arena, Sukuna came out on top, this time.
