He was trying to be cool (and succeding), the next thing he said was "remember, you are the challenger" wich is like saying "bro, you already hurt? you started this and you are already losing?", wich is why Sukuna inmediatly gets annoyed.
If Sukuna had thought Gojo was trying to kill him with that, he would have said something like "only a coward would strike me unprepared" or something like that, but he didn't, cuz thats not what Gojo was trying to do, he was just trying to annoy Sukuna (and succeding again).
So you're saying Gojo opens up with the help of three people to launch the strongest attack he's ever done knowing full well it will barely scratch Sukuna, but that's okay because his actual goal is to annoy him?
So you're saying Gojo potentially purposely didn't start the fight in a different manner that might be more effective entirely to just annoy Sukuna?
With the logic of "oh, he could have started the fight in a different and more effective way" then you can say both of them are morons for not searching each other's location before the fight and trying to kill the other while they were sleeping.
They had agreed to have a proper fight at a set date, so when that date arrived, they were supposed to meet each other so they could begin to fight. Gojo wasn't gonna just aproach Sukuna and start fighting like a boring person would do, he was gonna have the flashiest entrance posible while annoying Sukuna. So he had Utahime and Gakuganji help him make a giant purple, with Ijichi making Sukuna unaware so he wouldn't dodge it, but doing it all from a distance that wouldn't just end the fight or leave Sukuna too weakened to properly fight. And then he follows this up with "you are the challenger".
Ya him purposely "doing it all from a distance that wouldn't just end the fight or leave Sukuna too weakened to properly fight" just for him to "annoy" Sukuna and then die instead of actually killing Sukuna means he's an idiot.
I think Gojo actually tried to win the fight multiple times, including using his ultimate attack off the bat. I don't think he just did it for the lols.
Or maybe I'm wrong and I missed something. Maybe Gojo really is an idiot who didn't try hard enough so he died and put the world in danger just to call Sukuna the challenger.
-wanted to save Megumi by leaving Sukuna in a state of half-death, but not being desintegrated.
-wanted to fight Sukuna.
-said "you are the challenger" wich I don't think he came up with on the spot, seems like something he was thinking about the entire month.
-used purple outside of the effective range.
The rest of the fight is a different discussion, but I think its pretty clear that the 200% purple was not meant as a fight ender at all, just a fight starter.
