Why Doesn't Gojo Use Black Flash?

Does Gojo Use Black Flash?

Yes, Gojo does use Black Flash. In fact, he is seen using it against Sukuna. However, he doesn’t rely on it often, and there are specific reasons why.

Why Is Black Flash Rarely Used?

Black Flash is extremely difficult to execute and largely dependent on luck. Even the most skilled sorcerers, such as Itadori and Nanami—who hold the record for the most consecutive Black Flashes—cannot activate it at will.

Fighting Styles and Black Flash

A key factor in using Black Flash effectively is fighting style. Sorcerers who engage in direct combat have a higher chance of triggering it.

• Yuji Itadori: A close-combat fighter who enhances his punches with Cursed Energy.
• Nanami Kento: Uses precise strikes with his Ratio Technique.

On the other hand, fighters like Megumi, who rely more on Shikigami, have fewer opportunities to trigger Black Flash since they outsource their attacks.

Why Doesn’t Gojo Use Black Flash More Often?

Overwhelming Strength and Advanced Techniques

Gojo is simply too powerful to need Black Flash. His arsenal includes:

• Blue, Red, and Hollow Purple: These techniques are far more destructive than a physical strike.
• Unlimited Void: His Domain Expansion is a game-changer that eliminates the need for hand-to-hand combat.

Even when Gojo does use physical strikes, he enhances them with Blue, which warps space and inflicts immense damage. This drastically reduces the likelihood of Black Flash occurring.

Quotes from the Series

Gojo himself acknowledges that achieving Black Flash depends on luck, even for him:

“When I’m really going for it, I incorporate my Cursed Technique into my strikes, ultimately making it come down to luck, even for me. I mean, Nanami’s consecutive Black Flash record is higher than mine.”

He further explains why he doesn’t hold the consecutive Black Flash record:

“Having said that, if we’re talking about total number, I’m higher. I clean up quick, so there’s no time to land ‘em consecutively.”

 

Conclusion: The Strength That Makes Black Flash Unnecessary

Black Flash is a rare and powerful technique, but Gojo Satoru’s overwhelming strength, combined with his advanced Cursed Techniques, makes it almost unnecessary for him. While he has performed Black Flash more times than Nanami in total, his sheer dominance in battle often prevents him from landing multiple consecutive strikes. Ultimately, Gojo's combat style revolves around precision, speed, and overwhelming force—making Black Flash a tool he rarely needs to use.
