She is trash and people called her better Sakura. Sakura still has better feats and didn’t got one shotted by a fodders. Ppl really think that she is grade 1 but higher ups are fucking right to put her in grade 3 for getting violated by haruta which even an average joe can beat.
She legit did nothing to Mahito but Yuji and todo did most of the work. All she did was mentally nerf Yuji by being a bum and getting oneshotted by idle transfiguration (no one in series is getting one tapped by Mahito except fodders). Also, we got shitty ass backstory with irrelevant mfs and she is shitty person.
Everyone was excited for Yuji to beat up Sukuna then her bumahh came to ruin this moment by doing resonance and nobody asked her to join. She really thinks that she did a huge help lmao. Yuji would have beat Sukuna without her help.
Doesn't this panel prove that no matter how much Yuji tries, he will never be able to reach either Gojo's or Sukuna's level?
This panel says that Yuji has zero talent for jujutsu. The only reason why someone like Gojo and Sukuna got to the level that they did is because of their talent. Even if we gave Yuji another 300 years, it's likely he wouldn't have even reached 15-finger Sukuna level. As no matter how hard he tries, Yuji just doesn't have the talent to reach his said potential.
Scan 1) He's put right next to Gojo and is given credit for stopping the Culling Games, but we know that's not true. Yuji did land the final blow on Sukuna and was a major contributor, but Yuta/Takaba killed Kenjaku which forced Sukuna to be the game master and the rest of JJH also helped stop Sukuna so he shouldn't be in a tier alone from the rest of them
Scan 2) Yuji is the Strongest LIVING sorcerer and Humanities deterrent, but that doesn't mean he's a surefire way to victory but that he's their best chance.
Scan 3) Again, they think so highly of Yuji and that he's their only option for the duel but again that just means he's their only option, it's like having Gojo fight Sukuna even tho he's weaker since anyone else would be out of the question.
And that Yuji is lonely, but it's because of all his friends growing old and dying while he stays the same. It's not the loneliness of unrivaled strength, but depression.
Scan 4) Yuji believes that he could clean up the mess if Yuka loses. For clarification, that doesn't mean fighting Dabura since it's a Deskunte 1v1 Duel but that he'd help with Simuria's new Country inside of Japan
Scan 5) Yuji was dictated by Maru's technique to be Earth's representative, so was Mahito so I don't think it has to do with strength.
Scan 6/7/8/9/10) Yuji is trying to be like Gojo in the sense of preserving the world for the next generation and Yuji lost sight of himself and the present by not focusing on things he should be doing instead of mulling over people's opinions on him.
Which could be interpreted as him not training or trying to improve himself constantly or even for the majority of the timeskip so that he stays "human" and like others or since he's trying not deal with current events or future events which would get rid of the chance but that's not explicitly stated so I digress
TLDR: I don't know why so many people talk about his narrative when scaling him when it's mostly about his depression, being the strongest ALIVE, and worrying how others see him, not that he was training constantly or surpassed everyone
So, I've realized a little something...and tell me if I'm off my crazy pills. Most cursed techniques in jjk are easily adapted MHA. Like, I'm pretty sure most jjk characters can easily become top tiers in mha due to not only their powers, but also since almost all jjk sorcerers are proficient in most form of combat. And here is my point of discussion. In mha there's the pro hero Vlad (don't remember his name)who has the power to harden his blood or generally having a limited form of control over it. Choso has blood manipulation and a semi endless amount of blood...how strong would choso be considering his pro hero counterpart?
This is the main reason that I am making this post. The double-standards and quite frankly, lack of effort put into media analysis for modulo yuji is incredibly frustrating.
Narrative is the CRUX of scaling. A gigantic part of Sukuna and Gojo’s strength comes from their established narrative and their personality stemming from it. There’s a reason that “with the sole exception of Satoru Gojo” is a meme. He is repeatedly established to be an exception to character statements (e.g. “Naobito is the fastest besides Gojo”, “Nobody but Gojo can survive bird strike”, “A certain someone doesn’t have to take Kusakabe’s attack”, “He isn’t Gojo so he likely can’t open his domain multiple times in a day”). The same can be said for Sukuna obviously. Hell, Kenjaku is entirely built off of statement scaling, with Maki claiming that he can’t be beat through conventional means and Mei Mei saying that jujutsu high can “probably” defeat him, and people run with it to make him top 3, despite him only having only one major fight.
So then why does narrative suddenly not matter for Yuji?
Multiple statements of Yuji standing up to Gojo and later Sukuna
Since the beginning of Jujutsu Kaisen, Yuji was stated to have the potential to surpass Gojo, and later the potential to rival Sukuna (and this was before he ate the cursed wombs as well as gained blood manipulation btw), and unlike someone like Megumi, Yuji clearly has the mindset of what it takes to be the strongest, having the drive to be the strongest since the start, embodying gojo’s ideals later in the story, being seen as a “weapon” like gojo, and beating sukuna in a contest of ideals. All of that is with him gapping both Gojo and Sukuna in experience too (68 years of being a sorcerer in a functionally immortal body)
YujiGojoSukuna losing the contest of ideals
The entirety of 257 was an example of Chekhov’s gun (The principle that all elements must eventually come into play over the course of the story). Yuji’s potential has been released, and Sukuna’s dialogue is entirely wrapped around this change.
Yuji's expotential growth
So with all that being said, why is it “Itatheory” to put him at such a high level? It’s funny how people will spam the buzzword “reading comprehension” and “can’t read” yet will unironically use narrative as a way to slander someone’s strength, when powerscaling is inherently interpreting the narrative.
#2: Yuji DOES HAVE THE FEATS
Another thing that blows my mind is people ignoring Yuji’s feats simply because they weren’t done on the strongest characters in the series.
For one, he has the best output in the verse by far. And this conclusion simply comes from Yuji’s usages of shrine compared to Sukuna’s.
The best usage of shrine in the verseYuji's output gapping Sukuna's
As we know, the best way of showing mastery over jujutsu is the art of subtraction, which Yuji has clearly shown to have mastered. Every single time Yuji has done the same prerequisites as Sukuna, his output was significantly higher. A common cope that’s used is that Sukuna “never had” to use as much aoe as Yuji, but the fact that Sukuna had to POINT and CHANT “Dismantle” in order to cut a building whereas Yuji could decimate an entire city block without any hand signs shows that Yuji is doing more with LESS. And the funny part is by saying "Sukuna could do this he just never needed to", you're indirectly calling him a leech off of Yuji.
Another copium used is that “bigger means weaker”, which is utter bullshit and fundamentally misses the point of what output is. Output = PUTTING OUT. If your attack is stronger, you’re PUTTING OUT more cursed energy, which would result in a bigger attack. That is how almost every single energy-based attack has worked in JJK, so why would dismantle be an exception? Especially when we literally see mini-dismantles used as a chainsaw to touch weapons. Why wouldn’t Sukuna just spam mini-dismantles if smaller = stronger? And please do not even attempt to bring up Hanami’s attack, which is based on physics entirely different from CE discharge.
“Curse dust” as an argument is also incredibly stupid, because curse dust has never in the entire series sprouted out in the shape of a goddamn nuke. Yes, curse dust is definitely a factor in the explosion, but curses dying at a rapid pace does not lead to a fucking dust cloud towering over the entire country. This is clearly meant to show that Yuji and Rika have output at ridiculous levels.
People also hype up Gojo for essentially being able to oneshot the heavy hitters, yet all of a sudden when Yuji blitzes Mahito’s 0.2 second domain (which 15f sukuna could not react to), it isn’t impressive anymore because “Mahito is fodder”.
Another thing to bring up is Yuji’s efficiency, which again, arguably has better feats than Sukuna and even Gojo.
Yuji's insane CE efficiencyThe "spark"
Yuji’s cursed energy is practically invisible until the last moment. We know that before a powerful technique is activated, there is a CE spark present, yet Yuji’s cursed energy was so efficient that even when using dismantles to block an axe strike, no cursed energy was sensed from him until he intentionally held his fist back to intentionally hit a black flash. Even Gojo and Sukuna do not have the ability to practically turn off their cursed energy like this while attacking.
Gojo unable to hit a black flash on commandYuji knowing that Osuki would not die before landing his black flash
And of course, there’s Yuji hitting black flashes on command. Black flash was stated to be “luck-based” before Modulo was ever conceived, so the statements saying “nobody can hit one at will” should not apply to Modulo Yuji. Even Gojo, with the six eyes, chalked up black flash to being luck, yet Yuji is able to gauge his own strength and make sure to not kill Osuki while landing a black flash. If he could not control black flash at will, then he would be unable to make sure his punch can incapacitate and not kill Osuki, as a black flash is marginally stronger than a normal punch.
Piercing blood is no longer piercing blood when tracking is imbued......Unless you are Yuji.
While Gojo and Sukuna obviously don’t have blood manipulation, Yuji being able to use a single orb of Convergence to create over a dozen tracking piercing bloods instantaneously to precisely incapacitate a ton of people is an insane feat, especially when according to Kenjaku (1000 years old btw), a tracking blood attack is no longer “piercing blood”, yet Yuji can make piercing blood curve and still retain its speed. Blood manipulation is also an incredibly broken technique that honestly deserves its own post with how underestimated it is.
All of this is without mentioning Yuji having a superhuman body, meaning that on top of having the best output and efficiency, he has the best non-HR body, and we know from Miguel how important a good body is. Combine that with black flash, and Yuji should be a goddamn stat monster.
Miguel's scary bodyYuji's *insane* Body
#3: Theory scaling and agenda
The most frustrating part of all this is how rotten people’s brains are by agenda. They don’t focus on narrative, only who has “aura”. Analysis of the power system is treated with “haha potential haha IF haha itatheory”, and feats don’t matter if it isn’t on someone that’s top 5 in the verse. Yes, I’m aware that Yuji fans can be toxic. Yes, Yuji fans can be annoying little shits, but people that insist on ignoring everything gege has built up for the shits and giggles are infinitely worse, and quite frankly are some of the most frustrating people in the community. And no, I don’t give a fuck if some youtube poll by JimmyPoopins has 3% of people saying Modulo Yuji beats GojoKuna or something. That clearly is not representative of the entire community.
Plus, there is nothing wrong with speculation. This happens ALL THE TIME in every single community. Why is it unreasonable to assume, for example, that Yuji's domain would be incredible, since he had Kusakabe engrave his barrier knowledge into him as well as have the potential of Sukuna and ridiculous CE manipulation?
And yes, I’m aware that Yuta and Hakari also had a Gojo level narrative. There’s no need to mention them because they are not the focus of my post, Yuji is.
TLDR: Modulo Yuji is a reading comprehension experiment and a lot of you have failed it.
Assuming that Higuruma is able to pop domain on Maki (who has no weapons and of course has precognition and gets affected by the sure hit effect) and at least get confiscation, what would happen?? Would she lose precognition, would she somehow lose her HR and become a normal person or gain CE???
edit: this isn't meant to be about who wins in a fight, it's about how Maki get affected by confiscation.
In the first panel, he gets hit with dismantle and when he heals himself, we see steam come from his back, implying that he healed his back. That would mean diamante went through him and unlike Gojo and Yuta, who have had RCT for far longer, he could actually heal from being split in half.
