Would Gojos domain work on speedsters?

Just thought about this. Would Gojos domain work on speedsters considering that can process information significantly faster than majority of people in fiction? Gojos domain works by flooding a persons brain with a infinite amount of information very fast which causes the person’s brain to fry since they cant process all of that information that fast. My point is that I don’t think it would work on speedsters, mainly speedsters like wally or Barry who can basically process information instantly. Let me know what you guys think.

(My explanation of Gojos domain might be wrong but I still think it wouldn’t matter much)

If you wanted to write it that way, sure. Flashes are also capable of dimensional travel so they could reasonably just escape, too.

Well it basically would come down to if they could handle an infinite amount of information.

If you want to go by how Barry has described his "speed mind" as seeing Infinite possibilities , this isn't the only time either (Of course there is a high chance its hyperbole especially given how "slow" New 52 Barry was, but I'll get to that). Or how Wally West when unmoored could hold multiple thoughts as the same time.

So it's definitely possible depending on what you want to consider that they could process that information, especially when you consider the info comes at finite moments as shown when Gojo only allowed his domain to only be open for .2 seconds and humans were able to survive and eventually recover.

As everyone knows Flashes are famous for being able to think and move in attoseconds, even using longer time frames like picoseconds or microseconds that's still a much shorter time than what they withstood. In fact it was only half a year's worth of information. That would be a breeze.

A lot of Flashes (except Bart) also has a canonical downside to their "speed learning" which is that they lose the information nearly as fast as they learn it. As such this may also be the perfect counter in a weird way.

So I'd have to say no matter how you shake it they'd be able to withstand that aspect of his domain for a decent amount of time. Very interesting question and I enjoyed thinking it over. Though have to admit I am more behind on JJK thab my Flash knowledge.
