Kento Nanami vs. Mahito
This fight is one of the most memorable in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1. Nanami enters sewers and faces several transfigured humans.
He manages to get rid of them but reveals that he doesn’t enjoy killing humans. Suddenly, Mahito appears before the jujutsu sorcerer.
Mahito draws first blood as he strikes Nanami and the latter uses the back handle of his sword to fight off Mahito.
Nanami prepares to counter his opponent with Ratio Technique and slices off Mahito’s arm at his wrist.
Immediately, Mahito reveals the Idle Transfiguration Technique that allows him to manipulate the soul.
He launches it to heal his severed arm and even throws a cursed corpse at Nanami.
Mahito attempts to gain an upper hand and tries to damage Nanami using a blast of cursed energy.
However, Nanami is able to stay alive until 6 p.m. and gets a power boost because of Binding Vow Overtime.
Nanami is aware he has to end the battle so he uses Ratio Technique: Collapse to blast off the sewer wall and crush Mahito under it.
Satoru Gojo vs. Sukuna
Gojo is considered one of the strongest fighters in Jujutsu Kaisen, and in this fight scene, he faces the King of Curses – Sukuna.
Gojo meets Yuji Itadori for the first time and the former confirms that Sukuna is completely incarnated inside him.
He wants Itadori to switch to Sukuna for 10 seconds. Itadori allows Sukuna to take over and he jumps up right behind Gojo.
Megumi Fushiguro, who is watching the events unfold, warns Gojo of an ambush.
Gojo suddenly appears behind Sukuna and knocks him down with an incredible attack.
Sukuna tears apart the ground and sends a pile of rubble at Fushiguro and Gojo.
Sukuna thinks his blow landed, but he is disappointed to see Gojo levitating the pile and stopping it from hitting them.
Ten seconds are up and Itadori regains control over his body. Meanwhile, Sukuna is annoyed as he loses control over Itadori.
After the battle, Gojo is impressed that Itadori can control how Sukuna can influence his body.
Nanami and Itadori vs. Mahito
This is Nanami and Mahito’s second encounter against each other, but this time, Itadori joins the battle to spice things up.
As Itadori and Nanami get ready to fight, the latter announces that they need to exorcise the opponent right now.
This time, Mahito decides to take on both sorcerers together. Nanami blocks Mahito’s arm attacks while Itadori lands a low kick.
As the fight progresses, Mahito focuses on separating the duo. However, the pair is working hard to overwhelm Mahito with their coordinated attacks.
Itadori and Nanami are punching and kicking Mahito and he can feel that his end is near.
Before the duo can continue their barrage of attacks, Mahito unleashes his Domain Expansion: Self-Embodiment of Perfection.
The Domain Expansion pushes Itadori out and traps Nanami inside of it.
Itadori frantically bangs on the outside of the expansion using his cursed energy-powered fists.
Eventually, Itadori is able to enter the Domain Expansion, but Mahito forcefully touches his soul, angering Sukuna.
Now, Sukuna reminds Mahito that there won’t be a next time for him. The King of Curses slashes Mahito’s body with deep cuts and the latter’s Domain Expansion collapses.
Before Nanami and Itadori can exorcise Mahito, his body swells and pops. Mahito's real body instantly escapes into the sewers.
Nanami then tries to stop him but it is too late.

Satoru Gojo vs. Jogo
Considered one of the most spectacular battle scenes from Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1, Jogo takes on the mighty Gojo.

In the middle of the fight, Gojo decides to bring in Itadori as an audience to witness the battle.
Jogo instantly recognizes Itadori as Sukuna’s vessel and gets annoyed. Jogo, at this point, is literally fuming as his head is about to explode with flames.
Jogo is unable to take the humiliation and unleashes his Domain Expansion: Coffin of the Iron Mountain.
