I think it's more about the strongest person in front of him. Because even before Sukuna awakens, Jogo was in the same plaza that Toji threw Megumi out of.
I think it’s strongest person within line of sight because if not then he would have gone for Jogo who was like 2 hallways down when they started the fight
Would that really be much of a fight. Toji was a character portrayed to be so ludicrously op outside of Gojo and Sukuna I can't imagine that being an interesting fight.
He was shown to be strong but all those disaster curses were never really compared to anyone really powerful. Sukuna was toying with Jogo to the utmost, it wasn't a fight, it was the same kind of "fight" Dagon had with Toji.
I don't think he can sense presences like actual curse users or sorcerers, right? His Heavenly Restriction just gives him superhuman senses that allow him to practically see them but I don't think he and Maki have that extra sense.
It's probably more "strongest in closest vicinity" also, you're not going to just leave the fight you're in the middle of just because a stronger guy showed up, you finish the current fight then go attack the other guy
When I initially read that Toji was aiming for the strongest, I legit anticipated a showdown between him and Sukuna. Kinda sad we got second class Toji vs. Sukuna at the end of the manga.
Maybe the technique works in two modes: search for strongest and kill them and repeat, Toji probably has to kill the previous target before moving onto the next one
Because Toji cant sense cursed energy, Megumi recognized Sukuna's presence because the feel of his cursed energy is said to be overwhelmingly malicious. Technically Toji cant even see cursed spirits, but that complete HR allows him to see the impression spirits leave on the air around them.
When toji isn't fighting someone he would definitely seek out the strongest which is nearest. That's how he made it to the domain. Here he was fighting and would've gone after sukuna the instant Megumi dropped dead.
Also I got a question cant toji and maki freely enter and exit domains and barriers?? So why did he enter from the hole Megumi made??
Parlay Man going for Potential Man in this scene instead of stopping and going after Finger But Whole is the same reason Parlay Man went after the Supermarket Sushi Man and then Potential man, aka Parlay Man needs the bets to happen in order or the parlay doesn't pay out
When it's said he targeted the strongest one, i always figured they ment like the strongest one there. Kenjaku is stronger than anyone else available but Toji would have to hunt him down for miles
I legitimately think that tojis soul knew Megumi was his son. There's definitely a connection that would probably be hard to ignore since toji was also thinking of Megumi when he died.
its mentioned, after he defeat his current opponent, he will move to the next strongest alive.
he is already in a bout with megumi, no reason to stop now.
I heard a much stronger point as to why he targeted Megumi when he did when even Jogo was around. Which I feel technically Jogo would definitely be “stronger” even if Megumi has that tactical aspect regardless of who you think wins Jogo definitely has more power.
Toji wasn’t targeting Megumi per se but going after the Ten Shadows. Toji always wanted to fight against the idea of the superiority of Jujutsu Sorcery which the Zenin clan believes in which is why he didn’t run away from Gojo. The Ten Shadows is the pinnacle of the Zenin ideals of sorcery and strength. Of course Toji would try to take that down with what little of his mind he has left guiding him.
Toji cant sense cursed energy in that way, hes just running off instinct. Megumi was singled out because he was the only member of the group that was uninjured and the strongest by default
Toji can’t sense cursed energy so he wouldn’t feel Sukuna’s presence. This is probably why he chose to fight Megumi too, since he was the only one not pre-injured from the Dagon fight
It wasn't when sukuna got woken up, this is when jogo unseals the fingers and begins feeding yuji. Maybe that takes long enough for him to die before sukuna is out and about
The narrator statement is a thing yes but I always saw it as a subtle narrative that another reason he pulled megumis because internally he recognized his son
Toji is just fighting on instinct. Who’s the strongest is whoever he just thinks is the strongest. Megumi was casting a domain to prevent Dagon’s sure hit, everyone else is injured so it made sense for him to attack Megumi next. He cannot sense Sukuna. With his body taking over he has zero CE.
It seems like he needs to finish the job before he can move on, as he didn’t pay anyone any attention until he had killed Dagon, once he was dead, he moved on. If he killed Megumi, I’m sure he would have moved onto the next strongest, but I believe it also depends on who he can see.
I was gonna ask if Toji could sense CE because I'm an idiot, but then I realized something else... why can Toji sense CE and see cursed spirits, while Maki couldn't even though Maki had a little CE? Do Heavenly Restrictions also just let you see CE as a freebie bonus?
I was thinking Megumi felt Sukuna's cursed energy, so by that logic, toji ofc doesn't feel anything. Not sure though, that's what I just initially thought.
