Yeah honestly I figure Mei Mei is absolutely not going to draw attention to herself if she can help it, and will dip/has already dipped if the situation looks hopeless.

Tosk posted:Over the past few weeks, I keep wondering to myself randomly at some points, why hasn't Mei Mei been strategically sniping at Sukuna the whole time? She said herself that even the strongest sorcerers never tried to tank the suicide crows, and it almost seems like with her CT she might have an infinite supply and probably from far enough away to hide pretty easily. Feels like a missed opportunity. I get that everyone says their reasons but I think they are dumb reasons for the most part. This isn't Shibuya where there are actually way too many objectives to accomplish and way too much ground to cover in doing so. There are only two things that need to be done here, Kill Sukuna and Kill Kenjaku. Yet everyone has decided to line up as if they truly are expecting the previous plan to fail but surely their won't. And then they don't accomplish the goal of Killing Sukuna and the unforseen consequence is that he's starting to gas himself up. I know Yuji isn't going to die and that's why he can at least mitigate this, but they didn't. ThatBasqueGuy posted:Mei-Mei does not trust her tanks to keep aggro for the amount she's being paid

Pretty sure one of the guys also comments how Sukuna's light jabs aren't one-shotting him because he waited until all the debuffs piled up, aka had he tried anything any time sooner he would've wiped to a stray hit.

Coming back to Yuji real quick, remember in the Todo fight, when he could set up his cursed energy to do a delayed hit on someone? Todo said that was the wrong way, and he should have them hit almost instantly, so that's when he learned to do a blackflash. Well, what if he combined the two? If he set up the delayed hit, and 0.000001 seconds before that hits, he hit with another blackflash, could he get a blackflash squared?

Conspiratiorist posted:Their reasons are that, fundamentally, only a handful of people want Sukuna dead badly enough to stake their lives on it. So one question I have is why did Miguel even bother agreeing to help fight Sukuna at all? Did anyone seriously think that they could just punch Sukuna to death as a plan 'D'? I know Yuji is punching hard but at least he has the benefit of debilitating Sukuna every single time he does it and he has been firmly relegated to support for most of this encounter barring the plan to rouse Megumi's soul. Since Shibuya we've known that Miguel and Larue only cared to support Geto and thus had no reason to oppose Kenjaku. But since they aren't ideologically driven to support Kenjaku like some of Geto's crew, which would ultimately lead to the death of non-sorcerers, they stayed out of that situation entirely. Then the story presents the idea that Kenjaku's mega-curse could threaten more than just Japan so Miguel is reluctant to agree to help. I'd imagine that would put Kenjaku in their line of sight rather than Sukuna. Miguel and Larue gets to put Kenjaku to bed and honor Geto's memory, they would be directly targeting the person that has the initial key to starting the merger, and it's an all around easier matchup to ambush a guy who is going to have the Comedian step up first. Even if Takaba failed I think Miguel would like those odds much better than hoping that Sukuna gets weakened enough that he'll even try and take him on at all. Yuta's primary justification for fighting Kenjaku also really stopped the moment Gojo died. He only really wanted to make sure Gojo didn't have to "kill" his best friend a 2nd time. The excuse about fighting residual cursed spirits wouldn't be a problem since Miguel seems more than strong enough to tackle a bunch of cursed spirits and he'd be bringing backup as well. Specifically a guy that can pull, push, and stop enemies which is also ideal for mopping up spirits. Yuta also trained with Miguel so he's likely to actually trust that the job will be handled. Because as Yuta himself pointed out, Kenjaku's plan can't start until all the other players are dead which means he and Hakari alone gatekeep the merger as the two last strongest people in the game. Now, instead of Yuta being late to help out with the actual best plan he can show up right after Higuruma secures his blade, pull him and Yuji into the domain along with Rika, and try and end the biggest threat in the whole series. After that if Kenjaku is still alive they can tackle him accordingly and presumably with more people intact as less of the Grade 1 sorcerers will have been taken down or injured by Sukuna.

Yes, you can kill Sukuna by just punching him to death. These are sorcerers; that's how they typically kill things. They asked Miguel because he's a strong fighter and they both presented a logical argument and appealed to his emotions, consequently he agreed to participate on the condition it'd be only while minimizing risk to himself. Presumably Miguel and Laurie were on standby to jump Kenjaku if the assassination plan failed. The flashback begins at the point of the negotiations where they are asking him to help fight Sukuna. Note the two best assassins in the group are Yuta and Maki, so they're who'd you send solo if you're looking to minimize spending combat power. Kenjaku had special grades within his Cursed Manipulation. Yuta hard counters Cursed Spirits via RCT.

So hits from Yuji hurt Sukuna more because of the whole “Yuji can hit the soul” thing right?

a) numbers don’t matter when you have a domain, it’s instant death for everyone in the cast except for Gojo b) Sukuna still has a hidden trump card which was one reason why they let Gojo fight alone

Miguel never succeed in punching Sukuna, he blocked everything. Sukuna is pretty good at defending. Heck this chapter was the first time Yuji was able to sucker punch Sukuna without help.

Sukuna was stabbed through the heart with a cursed blade and is still 4v1ing. How is punching him to death supposed to work unless you have yuji powers? Even maki's blows dont seem to do anything and she's supposed to have the hardest punches on the planet.

To say nothing of how cursed energy reinforcement mitigated it that's about all he got in before everyone else showed up right afterwards. But you are correct that Sukuna has been masterfully handling most everyone in CQC. Yuji likewise got two clean hits this chapter but both were when Sukuna was either held down or distracted. I do find the panels of Sukuna with heart eyes incredibly amusing.

Sukuna was going even in CQC against Maki for a moment as well. someone tell this guy that he needs to let other people be the best at something

I mean having four arms is a pretty significant advantage in CQC. It means someone has to be twice as good to break even against him.

Yeah I just missed that with Miguel, thought it was blocked again. I just think it’s notable that Yuji got the first punch, Sukuna being distracted hasn’t really let him land hits before. It was also a light distraction in Sukuna just being surprised his blow was not as effective. I think Sukuna’s ability to guard is going down.

Good luck, friend, just remember to stay on your toes and that at the end of the day that body is still Megumi's so you got like 70% chance of not losing against him

Brought To You By posted:It's weird you think this when literally nobody else has tried to exclusively punch Sukuna to death except the one guy with the power to punch Sukuna's soul. Not only that, the one exchange between Sukuna and Miguel doesn't reveal that he felt those blows in any significant way despite half a chapter of Gojo talking about the incredible physique of a black man. If Sukuna was immune to punches he wouldn't be blocking them. Also, yes, I trust the author to write characters and their narratives as if they existed beyond what's shown to the audience. Like, no poo poo?

Didn’t Sukuna swallow baby Tengan or something? He’ll probably reincarnate through her after they free Megumi

Actually that reminds me. It's implied (but not confirmed) that Yuta swallowed the last fingy, right? So that would mean he has a Sukuna inside of him, if one that is significantly less powerful?

The last time we got an indication of how Yuta copies techniques it was Rika eating a body part of a sorcerer he was fighting, so it's likely either Rika directly or Yuta did indeed eat the last finger. Admittedly, I was expecting that to amount to more than Yuta just distracting Sukuna once, which is why I'd be very surprised if he never got back to the fight.
