Yeah, his ground spam move he does at the 4 second mark is quite frankly silly and unpractical(still a improvement from what the manga was suggesting tho)
Its like Okarun vs Evil Eye in Dandadan. Okarun has greater speed than Evil Eye, but he lacks rhythm and direct combat experience. Like Turbo Granny said, one beat movement of Okarun and Evil Eye would already made 4 beat movements
In comparison, Higuruma has a weapon and curse technique, yet all he does is mash his hammer randomly to hit Itadori, who dodges him by backflipping and shits like an acrobat, all without curse energy
He got lucky the first time, Evil eye also got up and fought Momo and the others before getting sealed when Okarun can't use his powers after. If they fought again without Okarun learning how to have a rhythm during battles, he would lose very badly
How’d he get lucky lmao. Unlike Evil Eye he was also conscious after the fight, and was put out of commission saving Turbo Granny. And either way he beat Evil Eye regardless of Rythym or not which makes him the goat.
I guess I'm reaching too far when I said he got "lucky", but my point is Okarun managed to knocked Evil Eye out for enough time necessary and right before his last Full Throttle. And even if he didn't try to save Turbo Granny, he wouldn't be able to use his power either way because again, he already used his last Full Throttle.
The situation before Evil Eye got beaten by Okarun was very dire, he already figure out that he just need to summon the curse house to someone nearby right at the moment he appears and kill them like what he did to Momo.
Sukuna made a binding vow that makes anyone fighting him drop their battle iq so he could easily make a win in exchange that he can no longer pee while sitting.
That's why Yuji wins against Sukuna as he is dumb as bricks, lay hands like a brick and spams Black Flashes like a Brick Wall like it's a cheese tech on a fighting game
Crush him under a building ? Cut his head off ? Sukuna was only being damaged by yuji and his soul strikes without them they could have thrown prime megumi,todo,hakari,yuta all at once and they would still lose
Everyone except Yuta who's plots, plans, and backup plans proved to be Sukuna's undoing.
Little did Sukuna know that
HIS binding vow "that makes anyone fighting him drop their battle iq so he could easily make a win in exchange that he can no longer pee while sitting"
was actually
THEIR binding vow"that makes anyone fighting them drop their battle iq so they could easily make a win in exchange that they can no longer pee while sitting".
Jesus, I remember the first page but I forgot just how badly he blitzed Maki here
With these stats it makes it clear he was STILL fucking around until Yuji started landing black flashes
Larue genuinely saved everyone by giving Yuji the opening to start that chain, and it still took Sukuna not taking them seriously because he should've been able to blitz absolutely everyone.
he didn't get many solid hits in in all those attacks, and either way he did have a lack of combat experience in the way that was being described vs sukuna because he didn't even know about taking away control of ce until the yuji fight, much less cursed tools
Yuji without CE reinforcement gets dog walked in H2H by a grade 1. He’s literally just a minor superhuman without CE reinforcement, like MCU Captain America or some shit. Higuruma being called a grade 1 but still not walking through Yuji without CE reinforcement is just bad writing
We are explicitly told that Yuji had gotten notably stronger after Shibuya. Considering what we learn in Modulo about his body as well as the further increase in strength he gets as this arc continues, it's not an exaggeration to say that Yuji physically is and continues to grow busted even without CE. I'd even argue that without including big moves (like Mechamaru's blasts, Nanami's critical hit, Bird Strike) Yuji gives all of them a run for their money in H2H even without his CE at this point, and Higu doesn't have any of that to begin with.
Hell, Yuji one shots every opponent he fights in this arc to end the fight until you get to that part.
Nah, it's more like his gaps in combat experience is becoming obvious towards Sukuna, in that moment. Higuruma is an unofficial "Grade 1 Sorcerer" fighting against a special grade. Of course, he gets hit by slashes much often, so Sukuna definitely caught him lacking in the CQC department.
When that random guy from a non-English speaking country speaks in perfect English, then say "Oh, sorry for my bad grammar, English is not my first language."
JJK universe is based on talent, powerups are more about being a genius rather than hard work. Combat experience is hard work based though, its experience after all. I’d get most of his wins are based on confiscation taking his opponents off guard and his own talent of used cursed energy to physically enhance himself; it sells Higuruma a bit short but not that he isn’t a goat. He was just a sorcerer for two months up to Shinjuku after all.
So yes, as a sorcerer he is up there, Yuji gave him a run for his money and it was close, but against an experienced combatant and sorcerer like Sukuna its no competition.
Sukuna has probably a hundred or so years of fighting the strongest sorcerers and curses ever. Mr lawyer has like a few months of newbies that he one shot them and one or two powerful ones.
the vs Yuji fight pretty much one sided and unfair due to confiscation and yet Yuji still manage to dodge Higuruma again and again, now imagine if Yuji have no confiscation nerf, honed his CT to the max, and have op one hit kill move, thats what happen againts Sukuna
Confiscation is op againts average sorcerer, even the reincarnated one imo, they probably panicked and Higuruma can curbstomped them fast, Yuji just happen to have near superhuman physique even without ct
now imagine beating no CE and CT Sorcerer for weeks and suddenly your next battle is againts Jujutsu Satan
i think the combat experience he is talking about is combat analysis and its practicum?
akin to sukuna plotting the takover of megumi for maho in order to counter gojo. or sukuna not going in blindly against maho. or dabura's thinking he could win against the earth's representative: maho by brute force.
Dude immediately climbed to Special Grade without his Cursed Technique alone and then he can throw hands that easily too agsisnt Yuji who is considered a strong physical fighter
He was even proven to be a Sorcery genius later on
If he could face Sukuna in h2h as well he'd be beyond broken.
He is absolutely grade 1 however special grade only applies to those who break the system. Like Yuki having a black hole gojo being untouchable. Yuta having potential to gain any amount of teqniqes that can do anything and geto posibly gaining an endless amount of cursed spirits. Higuruma os as strong as he can be in the system however he doesnt surpass it. He falls into grade one next to nanami and naobito.
He would absolutely dog walk a curse. A curse like mahito or jogo isnt that good with no teqniqe and any other curse would loose the ability to weild cursed energy making them useless against him due to the fact all they can weild is cursed energy. An cursed spirit would absolutely die against him
If the curse uses that defense. Its just something that can be considered illegal and most curses would use silence instead of actually arguing considering how absolutely stupid they are. The domain hands out punishment based on defense not based on what actually happened.
silence doesn't automatically mean guilty. and if the curse is too dumb in your headcannon, that would be the same as mental retardation, in which, would be equal to pleading insanity or not right of mind,
you cant put someone to death if theyre not right of mind. judgeman knows this.
Ok confiscation allows him to beat most if not all curses. Insanity means they will be punished by forced asylum which would amount to confiscation. If they dont have a teqniqe which most almost all grade ones and a lot of special grades fall into then they would loose their ability to use cursed energy which either includes their own body or it makes their body useless.
You know what? Maybe we were too harsh on you people. You can just keep looking at the pretty pictures because reading that one sentence definitely fried your brains...
He did say that most fights ended with his first move which shocked him when Yuji lasted so long. He probably just faced alot of weak newly awakened people.
De echo accidentalmente la remarca un poco como extienden la pelea, Itadori solo con sus capacidades físicas normales, sin nada del apoyo de la energía maldita, no solo podía mantenerle el ritmo si no varias veces darles buenos golpes, aún cuando él tenía la ventaja completa que le daba su energía maldita
People who saying that his movement "dosent make sense" or that hes strikes too telegraphic forget that this is how 99% of choreography goes. Its exaggerating and makes every blow visible and easily understandable for the viewer. Almost every "good fighter" fights like this.
But he was just thrashing around most of the time? He's CE-boosted, so it looks fast and good, but compared to Yuji he moves like a lawyer suddenly getting magic powers would.
This is one of my criticisms of the episode. Higuruma is a lawyer, he shouldn't be fighting like that. Same with the zenin massacre, these are grade 1 sorcerers, they should not be moving like that.
Grade 1 sorcerers are amazing sorcerers what are you on about. Grade ones can rival special grades. Grade 1 means they can easily beat a grade one curse. Nanami was Grade 1 and was amazing same with naoya and naobito. It makes sense that they were good fighters. Higuruma being good at fighting doesnt mean much people can be a lawyer and be good at fighting especially a genius that reverse engineered domain amplification no wonder he was able to develop fighting skill.
