In the world of anime, few confrontations have generated as much raw hype as the “Shinjuku Showdown” between Satoru Gojo and Ryomen Sukuna in Jujutsu Kaisen. It is a clash of titans: the “Strongest Sorcerer of the Modern Era” versus the “King of Curses.” But while Gege Akutami’s manga and MAPPA’s animation provide the visuals, fans have taken it upon themselves to decide the perfect soundtrack. 

A viral petition on Change.org is currently demanding that Lady Gaga’s 2011 hit “Judas” be recognized as the official theme for this legendary fight, and it is rapidly gaining steam.

Why Lady Gaga’s Judas Perfectly Matches Gojo vs Sukuna Clash

At the time of writing this (March 2, 2026), the petition has reached a significant milestone, sitting at 5,695 verified signatures. With the target set squarely on MAPPA Co., Ltd., the studio behind the anime, fans are hoping their collective voice will influence how this historic battle is eventually presented on screen.

The matchup at the heart of the petition pits two of the series’ most iconic figures against each other: Satoru Gojo and Ryomen Sukuna. Fans have often tagged it as the “Battle of the Strongests” due to Gojo’s near-untouchable power and Sukuna’s endless, brutal, chaotic malice.

To understand why thousands of people are signing a petition about a theme song, one has to grasp the weight of the Gojo vs. Sukuna rivalry and why fans want it turned into a movie. In the Shinjuku Showdown Arc, the two lock horns, and the fight is established as a massive clash covering Chapters 225—226. However, Sukuna manages to defeat Gojo by using Mahoraga, which evades Gojo’s Limitless technique. Additionally, these chapters are yet to be adapted into anime episodes.

Jujutsu Kaisen fans have launched a new petition to use “Judas” by Lady Gaga as the theme song for Gojo vs. Sukuna.

So, such a battle requires a theme song that could hold itself beside two of the daunting figures and their aura in Jujutsu Kaisen. And, there’s nothing better than Lady Gaga’s track, Judas. The track was released in 2011 as part of Gaga’s second studio album, Born This Way. Back then, the song opened at No. 7 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 chart. This shows the massive popularity of the track among Japanese people.

Now, the petition highlights that Gojo and Sukuna are not just fighting physically; they are clashing ideologically. Gojo stands as a symbol of control, protection, and a flickering light of hope for the world. Conversely, Sukuna is the embodiment of pure destruction, domination, and chaos.

The petitioner also notes that “Judas” explores inner conflict and the strange, magnetic devotion to someone inherently dangerous. This mirrors how the Jujutsu world is constantly pulled into Sukuna’s dark influence, even as sorcerers desperately try to resist his gravity.

How Global Fan Hype Pushes MAPPA to Honor This

Who would have to say yes? The decision-maker box in the petition names MAPPA Co., Ltd. It’s the animation studio behind the show’s current TV adaptation. MAPPA has been the production force that brought the manga’s most intense sequences to screens, and the studio (or its partners) would be the obvious route for licensing music for trailers, openings, or official promotional videos. 

But fans should temper expectations because licensing a pop song for broadcast or marketing use involves rights holders beyond the studio. Beyond the lyrics, the musical structure of Judas is a major selling point for the nearly 5,700 signers. The petition describes the song’s “intense beat” and “dramatic tone” as an ideal match for the scale of a fight between two godlike forces.

As the signature count nears 6,000, the message to MAPPA is clear. Fans want the Shinjuku Showdown to feel like a global event. They want music that matches the “godlike forces” at play. Whether it’s Lady Gaga or an original score by the series’ composers, the expectations for this animation have never been higher.
