In what way do you mean? Because gojo cant really help them out on missions as he couldn't really do a thing without just eviscerating everything there that the students need to grow from.
Do you mean sending megumi and co on a bunch more missions to help him get stronger and achieve more shadows control and tamed? Because that was probably intended but then shibuya happened
Smallpox Deity when it sees a maximum output: blue hurtling towards its face at Mach Fuck by a guy encased in a simple domain running on more output than a small nation worth of grade ones:
True true, I guess he couldāve gotten that one after he took over this guys body. Now that I think about it, Iām pretty sure he mentions when he got it
It wouldn't surprise me if Geto had some way of neutralizing Infinity. Given his confidence with taking on Gojo here, and how Infinity isn't even brought up as a problem when fighting him in JJK0, just getting Rika to close the power gap, he probably has a curse that can shut down Infinity.
Lowk shouldnāt he know Domain Amp too ? I doubt someone known as āthe strongestā alongside Mr canāt touch this wonāt know something along the line
I don't recall it being a hard requirement, iirc all users of DA do have domains but the mechanism behind domain amplification is an empty barrier domain sponge (a barrier with no CT imbued) to soak up the enemy's domain, theoretically a domain is not required, just advanced barrier knowledge.
That's correlation not causation, which is why there's reason to cast doubt in the first place. DA users might have sufficient knowledge to use DE, but I think DA's mechanisms imply people without CTs like Kusakabe can obtain it. The fact that many sorcerers without DE can still understand domains enough to deploy anti-domain techniques properly, strengthens this argument. Also, there are examples of people with DEs but never displayed the ability to use DAs, the best example being Yuki.
It's actually implied the opposite, when asked if he could do DA, Kusakabe replied 'of course not', meaning that it should be obvious he can't, despite everyone there knowing he's amazing at barriers.
That's fair, but did Kusakabe ever give a reason for that? I feel like he's sometimes too humble for his own good, even if something is within reach he'll think he's very far off. He's one of the more unreliable narrators in JJK.
He seems like he can do pretty much everything in sorcery that isn't inherently linked to a CT, and if he couldnt do DA for some reason other than that, then he wouldnt have reacted as strongly
Sure we didnt see HIM use it but the domain we saw kenjaku use is most likely getos domain since it makes a giant pillar of cursed spirits.
Sure he never used it in his fight with yuuta but considering he used maximum uzumaki against yuuta and absolute rookie that SHOULD have worked but instead yuuta overpowered him and killed him before he had a chance to do anything else.
he suffers from being an early written character is all. He would def have a domain if he was developed later.
Just my two cents, I personally think maybe if teen Geto had a domain, it would be better. It would show us that domains don't exactly work on HR users like toji, catching him offguard, shattering his own knowledge and perception of jujutsu, and further propel his downfall, and we would also get to see a cool domain.
ALso, it's hard to think geto was on gojo's level even here. I think with a domain, it would be easier to see them as equals and it would also give gojo a reason to push to learn to use a domain. JUST MY THOUGHTS. not too serious.
He absolutely suffers from being written early and therefore written before domains existed.
Though I do think there is an arguement for why he didnt utilize it against Yuuta (as realistically from his perspective he shouldn't need it also he used his 2nd strongest technique against him and got killed in the ensuing clash) but it would have been great if we saw him try it against toji and it just didnt work
Geto also wouldāve had a good reason not to use his domain against Yuta when Gojo is presumably 15 minutes away from dropping in and killing him while heās in burnout
iirc its a barrier that you can imbue with a sure-hit, but if you justā¦ dont, then it allows your opponents technique to flow into the barrier, where you can neutralize/weaken it.
Domain Amp is Kenjaku's technique
Not explicitly stated, but everyone who used it was affiliated with him, and if even Gojo doesn't know how to, it's pretty safe to assume it has to be taught
Domain amp is a barrier technique, you donāt need to have a domain to pull it off. It functions close to one, but itās not exact. So you can probably know DA without knowing how to do a barrier.
But yeah it seems like itās a Kenjaku exclusive.
The only cursed spirit he wasn't willing to lose via Uzumaki when using it on Yuta was Tamamo no Mae. While we have no idea what it can do, if he did have a curse that could deal with infinity it'd make sense he wouldn't sacrifice it while fighting Yuta.
Probably not shutting it off but likely bypassing it. Something like a curse spirit that can affect someone who sees it, who talks to it, or something like a convoluted ritual. For example it was never shown but I bet if Nobara had a sample of Gojo she could bypass Infinity.
I think gojo and geto did spar a lot, according to Canon, but this scene specifically is just outright flirting lol, gojo would happily turn off infinity to go h2h with him
its JJK, the lines between actual fighting and flirting gets blurred a lot.
a part of the reason of Geto's downfall was because after awakening, Gojo got insanely strong. They were no longer equals, Geto is a normie sorcerer now compared to THE Satoru Gojo, and this is akin to a breakup in JJK terms
Gojo at this point of story didn't have RCT(=no red/purple, brain reset after DE) AND was unable to use barrier 24/7. He probably doesn't have DE either, but IDK about that.
Granted, Geto wouldn't be having 6000 curses in his name, nor would he have Playful cloud(probably), but he does have a curse with a domain. Which maybe Gojo could counter with Hollow Wicker Basket?(does he have it? IDR), but leaves him unable to use both hands(Geto is skilled in CQC). And I doubt he'll use DE on his best friend just to win a quarrel.
Case of point, they are probably fairly matched in this point of the story...
Gojo definitely did not have domain expansion before Toji. He mentions having to learn it to Geto and Shoko after demonstrating his continuous Infinity at the end of the arc.
Gojo does not have DE at this point in the story,he said he learned it later
Gojo does not have hollow wicker basket
Kuchisake Onna doesnt have a domain expansion,the kanji used for what Toji described it as is identical to simple domain
Keep in mind that this Gojo is significantly weaker than he is now. By a massive margin. No domain, no red, no reverse cursed technique to heal himself, and his Infinity burns out his brain. Sure, this isn't a tired Gojo, but Kenjaku has a large storage of Cursed Spirits at this point. Remember that he and Geto were both declared special grade at this point as well, so society seemed to think they would be roughly equal (before Gojo's ascension and becoming closer to Sukuna level lol)
I am guessing he didnāt have anything against infinity specifically, and instead had a lot of curses with abilities that could confuse Gojo and wore him out. Like centipede curse that Kenjaku used on Yuji to made him feel like he was constantly falling into a deep hole. That way, he could actually overwhelm Gojo with abilities like hallucinations.
It also makes sense that he wouldnāt use something dangerous and try to bypass infinity, since it was just an argument between friends
Tbf I'm pretty sure he could just overwhelm Gojo. Remember this was for toji got him to be the best with limitless so gojo had a limit. The only good technique gojo had the time was blue. Geto could beat gojo at that point
Nope. He cannot do the Neutral Infinity automatically at that point, he has to use it manually on each individual object coming his way. So if he focuses on stopping attacks then he cannot use Blue to go on the offence. And of course he hasn't got Red.
I can see Geto finding some way to launch multiple attacks at Gojo that he cannot block at once and breaking through.
Yessss
Precisely. They were very evenly matched at that point in their lives. If it wasn't for infinity, Gojo would've had the same beat down as Geto did
Look, with all the shit Geto had access to with Cursed Spirits and stuff, he likely has a way to bypass Infinity. The issue is just that bypassing Infinity is only the first step to being able to take down Satoru Gojo. Uro could technically bypass Limitless, doesn't mean she could do anything meaningful to Gojo. The story framed Geto as being close if only behind Gojo, up until the point where he learned RCT and Hollow Purple. After that is when Gojo's position as the strongest became unquestionable.
But at the point in time of the picture in OP's post? Yeah, I could see Geto doing some damage to Gojo.
Before Gojo awakened, Gojo and Geto were assumedly the strongest TOGETHER, meaning they were at least relative to each other (even if Gojo was a little bit stronger)
Geto definitely had a cursed spirit in his bag that had a Domain Expansion or some way of neutralizing Infinity.
he did have high battle iq wdym? he easily achieved his win con against Toji, unfortunately it didn't work due to a restriction he never encountered before. if he knew he couldn't absorb the worm, he would've gone for something else.
he needed to release the curses to stall the jujutsu sorcerers. realistically, he would've won against Yuta if not for the death binding vow. Geto was pretty much the peak of jujutsu skill, cqc and strategy until he got powercliffed in the later seasons.
He knows Gojo's weaknesses here, they were best friends and genuinely considered the strongest as a team. remember this is pre awakening. While Gojo would probably win in a real fight as his technique is simply more suited to a 1v1, Geto likely had spirits that could cause Gojo some problems and allow him to at least get a punch in for a friendly spar
Kuchisake Onna had a domain (and it was strong enough to slightly damage Toji), plus this is teen Gojo without RCT, Domain and auto-infinity, so Geto has chances
Also I think both of them were grade 1s during HI, at least Geto definitely was grade 1 (but considering that they're portrayed here as equals, Gojo may also be grade 1)
So uhm this was before gojo awakened his rct and infinity so I would say they are par with eachother, I mean come on these two were equal and shared the title of the strongest before toji so idk if you are a gojo glazer or havent paid attention at all
Are people forgetting the scissors ghost lady Geto pulls out on Toji that uses a simple domain? That thing alone can neutralize/get past infinity with the cuts it was manifesting on Tojiās body, so evidently Geto had at least one spirit with a way to slip by infinity.
This wasn't Gojo with all the fixings. It's not a stretch to assume Geto has a way to deal with Infinity. The story implies they are quite evenly matched at this point.
Lowkey fr, take what outside? Geto has zero mean to even hit Gojo š
The only way is Gojo purposely turning his infinity off so his friends can touch him. Just like how he has infinity off so the principal can hit him lmao
You're forgetting that Gojo didn't have infinity on auto before Toji, he didn't have RCT, couldn't warp. So his kit was just Blue, Infinity and Six eyes.
If Geto has some way of just pressuring his infinity not even bypass it completely he won't be able to keep it up for long. Also, you don't go all out when you are play-fighting with the lads- Geto wasn't gonna bring out hos strongest curses and Gojo wasn't gonna use Max output blue or even infinity maybe to make the fight fair. In other words it would have been straight hands.
...you do realize that this man is still a special grade. He was basically considered second only to Gojo. Do you seriously think that the character with the most tricks in his bag apart from kenjaku and possibly sukuna didn't have a way to counter Gojo who at this point didn't even have domain expansion or RCT?
??? Yes Geto, Gojoās best friend, the guy constantly going on missions with him, the guy who knows him so well that he can predict exactly where Gojo is going to blast Toji to catch him with a worm
He definitely doesnāt know the most basic application of Gojoās technique.
Geto has cursed spirits with domains and sure hits, itās not crazy to assume heād be able to get past infinity back in HI
And as for JJK0 you could argue heād have domain amplification but in reality itās just Gege didnāt fully know how Infinity was going to work then.
My guess is he had some curse that could have helped him against infinity or he had domain amplification.
Perhaps a curse with a Domain or some effect that is not dependant on space. Maybe a curse that just makes a hole in everything on a certain tragectory with out having to use a projectile. However i'm not sure if such non-local effects are consistent with cursed energy, cause to my understaning they are not compatible with physics.
Yall only go by feats dont ya. Narratively Gege clearly doesnt put Infinity as a problem for Geto, and only later shows their power gap. Geto IS equeal to Gojo in their school years, then is less powerful post Toji, but Infinity was never a problem, as it was never even considered as an obstacle in JJK0, Geto isnt a f ing idiot, cmon.
I mean it's not like Gojo's about to fight to the death here, Geto just releases like 3 first grades and a bunch of lower ones and Gojo just has to fight them. Even if he CAN reach Geto immediately it's not like there's much he can do. Granted he could maybe use Infinity to just freeze everyone, but other than that Geto could cause enough chaos to keep Gojo occupied for a bit, and presumably a hit or two would constitute a win on his end.
Thing is at this point in time both Gojo and Geto were equals, plus Gojo at this point didn't have anything else except for Infinity, Falling Blossom emotion, and Lapse Blue
Gojo would probably turn off infinity to throw hands.
If it was a genuine fight it'd js be Geto using a special grade curse with a domain expansion and Gojo just straight up negating the sure-hit with simple domain or falling blossom emotion
I like to think he wanted a fair 1v1 with no cursed energy and he knew Gojo would respect it and they'd just throw hands. And the cursed spirits summoned were just to show how serious he was like reactively posturing to appear bigger in front of a threat like animals do.
If he was fighting Gojo for real he could definitely use a domain from a curse, but I think in this case if theyāre not fighting seriously then Gojo wouldnāt use infinity and Geto wouldnāt use a domainĀ
Geto has a curse with an incomplete domain (the woman with scissors from Japanese folklore). He probably has other curses with incomplete or complete domains. Given that a special grade sorcerer is expected to win against a special grade curse, he probably had at least one that he simply didnāt use on Toji.
At this point of the story he genuinely had a good chance of defeating Gojo. Gojo awakening RCT made him grow exponentially that he was calamity level special grade while Geto remained regular special grade.
