my posts are as bad the Current Releases review of Gone Girl

Yeah no Yuta using a cursed speech megaphone was the reveal of what his CT actually was, unless its specifically stated in the text somewhere I don’t think he actually does need to eat something to use copy.

Yeah, and the big confrontation with Geto happens after a school year where Yuta had plenty of time to learn the conditions to copy techniques and munch on hair/sip on blood from Inumaki.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

Fallen Rib
The theories on the wikis is that Yuta's CT is based on consuming something. It could be as simple as that, or slightly less simple in that friendlies can give him permission but to use an enemy's CT he needs a nibble. He uses Uro's technique after Rika eats her arm. However in the same fight he faces off with Ryu and uses the granite blast without eating his arm. Now in this case is it just that granite blast is easy to copy because its just a beam and not a complex CT? Or does it mean he doesn't need to actually eat them and he can copy a CT however he wants? Sukuna speculating on him eating the finger is basically confirmation that its eating related, which leads me to think facing off with Ryu in a beam battle is just that "shooting a CT beam does not need to be copied, Rika can just do it"

I think the conditions for copy might have changed since the Rika that gave Yuta arguably his highest power output is not the same Shikigami that Yuta utilizes in the main series. Like how in JJ0 he summons a megaphone but in the present his body adopts the tattoos associated with cursed speech the exact mechanism of Copy was altered after freeing her soul. Having already copied Inumaki's ability he wouldn't necessarily need to refresh it by eating a part of him later on.

But Yuta didn't exactly leave it ambiguous when he announced to Sukuna that the two-faced specter never found his last finger right after using cleave on him.

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?
I'm not saying Sukuna is immune to punching. I'm saying trying to punch him to death is both incredibly difficult and not exactly working all that well. Remember one of the first things Sukuna did when this phase of the battle kicked in was put two holes in Choso and punch higuruma so hard and far that even Yuji couldn't keep up.

Likewise, it's not like Gege isn't writing these characters to exist beyond the audience. But assuming Miguel was ever going to step up to Kenjaku when all evidence says he was waiting in Sukuna's region for his opportunity is being incredibly generous for what essentially amounts to yet another post I made just venting my frustration at the shoddy distribution of fighters.

MonsterEnvy posted:

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.
He's definitely getting worn down, I'm wondering if that's why his black flashes on Larue and Choso didn't kill them even if the latter blocked with blood.

He doesn’t copy granite blast. Rika was already capable of shooting blasts of Cursed Energy.

It's Yuta saying it, not the omniscient narrator which means it could be a tactical lie. Convince Sukuna the finger is gone, or that if he "dies" he can possess Yuta when that's not in fact the case.

Sukuna starts losing his grip on Megumi's body and tries to shift to his last finger as he's aware Yuta is still alive. He winds up in Rika instead. Yuta looks at him smiling as he desummons the Shikigami and Sukuna is now gone forever.

I don't think it would work like that, if that was a the case they could have just had Yuta take care of it. The Finger is no doubt still intact in Rika.

Sleep, rest, do your best.
Yuji is going to do a black flash on top of a black flash or something and it's going to weaken Sukuna's hold on Megumi, but Megumi fell into such a pit of despair that he becomes the true king of curses. Yuji and Sukuna have to work together to defeat Cursed King Megumi. Sukuna ends up dying during this conflict and as Yuji and a dying Megumi reconcile after his curse's defeat they both agree that Sukuna was the coolest guy.

I don't think that necessarily applies here. Growing a limb from pure RCT is harder than re-attaching but we already saw Sukuna regen part of his body destroyed by Gojo's initial hollow purple. Even Higuruma was regrowing a whole arm pretty quickly so I think the point of Ryu pointing that out is to speak more for the average sorcerer capable of RCT. Not the prodigies like Sukuna or the freaks like Hakari.

Something that has been underutilized is that there is Blood Manipulation, and while that CT is innately poisonous, Choso/Yuji could be using blood filled with various illnesses and poisons to hurt Sukuna.

To be exact Sukuna is a deadly poison. His fingers are normally lethal to humans. So Yuji eating them has given him immunity to others.
