It still owns how "self proclaimed 530000 IQ" initially comes off as a joke, but shortly reveals that no he actually is a genius in the best way possible (the Takada delusions)

MonsterEnvy posted:The only other time he was notable tore up face wise was during the Choso fight, but Sukuna healed him after that. sukuna quite literally tore that face up.  they even seem to have sorta healed after uraume flash froze him  though i'm fuzzy on how yuji survived this encounter at all, this is the same fight where sukuna punched a hole in his chest and it barely slowed him down.

Instead of learning Sukuna's cursed technique, Yuji's body simply picked up on RCT. Or something.

Actually Yuji died and all of this stuff about the Culling Games has been him trying to process his feelings as his brain struggles to accept death. Sukina is attempting to take over his body and Yuji will need to realize that to assure Sukina dies with him. The camera will pan out and it will be revealed all of his friends are there sitting around his deathbed, assuring he dies surrounded by people who loved him. Nobara is wearing an eyepatch and Toji replaced his hand with a specialized Curse Weapon. The last moments of the series are Yuji's heart slowly stopping as Sukina screams in impotent rage as he's dragged into the afterlife without a fight. "Hey Grandpa... I did good, didn't I?"

MonsterEnvy posted:He didn't actually get a hole punched in him. IIRC he just got punted real hard. We only got to see it briefly, but Yuji did seem to get a power boost the moment Sukuna left his body, who in turn seemed genuinely surprised whenever he thought he had Yuji out for the count only for him to keep going. Maybe part of his strength was subconsciously devoted to keep Sukuna suppressed? Along with the apparent ability as a "vessel" to absorb the cursed energy of cursed objects he consumes, it'd be more playing around with classic tropes by having the great powerful evil sealed within the protagonist not grant him strength, but in fact having held him back until he was rid of it.

Like he was using fox chakra early on when poo poo would hit the fan, but it turns out his own natural chakra was so dedicated to holding back the fox that it was the reason he was terrible at ninja magic. It's been a while since I read naruto.

At no point in time has Yuji ever been normal, even without a lick of training he was aggressively superhuman without even a single finger. Even in the first moments of chapter 1, there was something Wrong about him. We can't really figure out what about Yuji is because he had Sukuna in him and what was just his own freakish nature, but that he was able to casually get punted through a building and come back, running, tells you the dude has been underestimated.

Yuji was also taught some ancient martial art. And his family is kind of not right in the head - his dad was fully aware that his wife was deceased but still chose to have a child with her reanimated corpse which was housing a 1,000 year old bodysnatching wizard.

Even with his CT in limbo, Todo is an absolute tank and a genius fighter to boot. He could have shown up earlier in the culling game if only to gather intel within the domes as given all that we've seen he could probably trash a good number of sorcerers without needing boogie woogie. So here's hoping his absence is just him finding the right way to incorporate other hands into his technique. yum posted:Yuji was also taught some ancient martial art.

I still think it was the latter. Kenjaku had no way of knowing that there would be a falling out between Geto and Gojo, nor that an entity like Mahito would manifest as well. Yuji might have just been the first of several experiments Kenjaku was going to conduct regarding whatever augmentations Yuji has, much like Choso is the first of his generation of death womb paintings.

oh so he can just bring a cursed tool / weapon into the courtroom and then instead of sealing his techniques it just removes the weapon? That’s loving stupid. This means Higuruma’s technique is actually really lovely, because pretty much anyone who is a threat has easy access to cursed tools. I actually like Sukuna being bored of the process and not giving a poo poo, but this was a glaring and obvious weakness that no one should have overlooked.

It's more that the story is wrapping up and dude keeps pulling new tricks out his rear end, and conversely nobody else is progressing. What's the hope, someone pulls a deus ex machina out their rear end and now it sticks? That seems like fun and engaging storytelling. "No, see, this thing that should totally work doesn't work because of an aspect we never even hinted at" is loving stupid and they keep pulling it. It's one thing to ape Naruto, it's another to include the lovely ending with Madara in that.

Unique ability interactions are fine and dandy. But the whole idea behind Higuruma's ability prior to this is that it will take something from the body of the person rendered guilty. For Yuji we got the wrinkle that Confiscation took his ability to utilize cursed energy because he had no technique of his own. But if Judgeman only takes one set of techniques from a target then Sukuna still had a 50/50 shot at losing either the vastly depleted 10 Shadows or his own native technique. What would be different in just saying that because Divine Dog or the Frog summon weren't destroyed that Sukuna still technically has 10S and the coin toss came out in his favor? I mean sure, confiscating someone's gun is still taking a power away from them but in a court of law what is being sentenced is the individual, not a weapon they can/could use to commit a crime.

The thing about 10 Shadows is that it's gonna just just hanging there as something that can flip the table again because we have no idea how Mahoraga works with the totality aspect of the technique- nevermind Megumi's incomplete domain. The ultimate form of the 10 Shadows technique may not be owning the whole menagerie, but instead be what happens if you control all the shikigami and then they are destroyed and allowed to merge into one being. Or maybe that unlocks the ability to complete a 10 Shadows domain or something and it wasn't Megumi just being inexperienced. And that's before you get into whatever bullshit Sukuna is still obviously keeping in his back pocket.
