Can Cursed Energy Drain Disable Gojo Domain Expansion Permanently?

Thinking about whether cursed energy drain could permanently disable Gojo's Domain Expansion gets me hyped every time — it's one of those debates I bring up with friends over late-night manga scans and terrible instant ramen. Mechanically, a Domain Expansion in 'Jujutsu Kaisen' is a high-order application of a sorcerer’s cursed technique that needs both the technique itself and sufficient cursed energy to manifest. So in the abstract, if you could reduce a sorcerer's usable cursed energy to zero or completely sever their access to their technique, they couldn't activate a Domain. That part is simple bookkeeping of resources and access.

Where it gets messy — and fun — is when you factor in Gojo’s particular toolkit. His Six Eyes massively reduces his cursed energy expenditure, and his reserves are on another level. That makes the ordinary “drain until they run out” tactic impractical: you’d need something that can either suck out astronomical amounts of energy nonstop or permanently alter his ability to use his technique. The series gives us a hint of how powerful the alternative is: Gojo wasn’t defeated by a simple drain, he was neutralized by containment — he was sealed away using the special-grade item 'Prison Realm'. That’s not energy depletion, that’s a technique/tool that outright removes access to him, which functionally achieves the “permanent disable” outcome for the battle.

So can cursed energy drain alone permanently disable Gojo’s Domain Expansion? With canonical constraints, extremely unlikely. A temporary, well-timed drain could disrupt or delay him — imagine a coordinated ambush that starves him long enough for a sealing tool to be used — but permanent loss probably needs either a true sealing method, a binding vow with game-changing conditions, or death. I love theorizing about combos though: a curse that siphons energy into a binding curse written to anchor Gojo’s technique, or a cursed tool designed to nullify Six Eyes’ efficiency... those are the kinds of clever, story-forward solutions that would make a fight memorable rather than just a numbers game. I’d love to see a battle that explores that interplay rather than relying on a deus ex machina, because the chess match of resource control is where 'Unlimited Void' feels most threatened to me.

My quick, no-nonsense take: draining cursed energy could stop Gojo from firing off his Domain Expansion temporarily, but it wouldn’t realistically be a permanent solution on its own. Gojo’s Six Eyes makes him absurdly efficient — he uses far less cursed energy than almost anyone else — and his reserves are huge. In canon, we’ve seen something more like a permanent neutralization happen through sealing: the special-grade tool 'Prison Realm' was used to lock him away, which removed access to his technique rather than just bleeding him dry.

So unless a drain specifically targets the core of his technique or is paired with a sealing mechanism or binding vow that doesn’t wear off, you’re looking at a temporary interruption at best. For a lasting effect, you’d need a method that either kills, seals, or fundamentally severs his ability to use his cursed technique — pure energy siphoning, by itself, doesn’t cut it against someone of Gojo’s scale. That’s why stories tend to favor clever tools and conditions over straight-up energy math when dealing with top-tier sorcerers.
