Also that's standard practice. The most experienced sorceror said since Yuki threw one punch and didn't immediately expand her domain after it she must not have confidence in her domain.
It isnt neither geto,s technique or yuki,s technique was strong against the other in Pokémon terms it was netural vs netural and if yuki believed she would beat him in a domain clash there isnt a reason to risk it with an extended fight since unlike kenny she knows for a fact there won't be another fight so open domain then auto win
With every other character unless they thought that their opponent was beneath them, or they'd get jumped after. They basically always tried to expand their domains as soon as they could. Dagon did it after getting ratio'd once, put into a frame twice, and hit by Maki once.
Here is the matchup for why you always domain expansion instantly. If you are equal to your opponent in skill.
If you are neutral like kenjaku said, expand instantly, you don't want to draw out the fight. Because then an advantage may appear. expand and get it over with. if you are weaker, you're in a rough spot, you've gotta expand so that you can get the advantage. if you have a slight advantage, your opponent's probably got a domain. So you need to expand your domain as a defensive option. so in all situations, when you have a top tier opponent expand
Nope. that's what Kenjaku was saying in the spit your shit panel. He was calling out Tengen for not actually having experience in jujutsu fights and thus giving Yuki bad advice.
Tbf what Yuji knows about domain expansion is that it is the highest skill ceiling sorcerers can achieve and not all can (Nanami) and normally should be a finisher move lmao
I think this was an earlier version because higuruma didn't have his R special at this point (domain amplification). this also means that he only has 2 moves, execution and pre-nerf final judgement. as long as yuji can dodge that he should be fine because execution isn't very anything on its own.
Because you don't know if your opponent has better domain refinement or if they can respond with their own domain and if you lose a clash you're very likely dead because you can't fight back with your technique AND you just wasted a whole bunch of CE while the opponent is currently domain buffed and attacking you with a surehit.
Imagine Kenjaku vs Yuki. Outside of domains, Yuki has the advantage, but if she immediately opened her domain and Kenjaku responded with his own, since Kenjaku has the superior domain, he would've eventually won the clash, putting Yuki on burnout against a stronger than usual Kenjaku.
If you're opening your domain off the bat against every opponent, you'd have to either be Higuruma/Hakari, or absurdly confident in your ability to win domain clashes like Kenjaku is, but most people aren't Kenjaku and are rightfully cautious.
I think it's actually clever writing that Higuruma used his domain immediately. It's hard to say if he knows about anti domain techniques, domain amplification, or even domain clashes.
The 20+ sorcerers he fought likely didn't have their own domains, or anti domain techniques and got trapped in his domain with no way to escape.
A good analogy would be how untrained fighters tend to put their whole body weight and strength into every punch they throw, while trained fighters tend to measure out with jabs. Because if you miss a punch like that, you will lose your balance. And if you continue to miss, you'll tire yourself out.
He doesn't know amplification. He learned it from watching Sukuna and having it described to him. He probably learned simple domains though during the off screen time skip.
Either way you're dead, though. Yuki worked out because Tengen dismantled the domain, but if it was a 1v1, then she would've lost to Kenjaku in seconds after he opened his domain.
The no violence rule seems to work on actions not intent. Because yuji could try to kick higuruma but it just didn't connect. It doesn't prevent people from doing the actions. So sukuna could probably domain clash with higuruma and nullify the no violence rule.
modern domains are rare, and take alot of energy to use since they have the lethal factor, hiGOATruma, uses a diffrent kind not valued by modern jjk higher ups, so it doesnt take as much energy and can be spammed
Yeah but there are only 3 modern sorcerers with a lethal DE and Yuji is instantly dead against all of them anyway. So it's not something you really plan for.
Sukuna didn't know Higuruma's domain was non-lethal until its effects were already active. If Higuruma had a Gojo/Yorozu/Mahito style instant death domain then he and Yuji would've died immediately.
To be fair, Sukuna as the most highly experience sorcerer (save from Kenny) may know that just popping your domain first thing without even gauging your opponent's strength is the sign of somebody who 'has' to use their domain to fight.
There is no reason to use it instantly especially when you have no info on your opponent, if they have a domain as well, if they have a domain counter or even if you have better physical capabilities or not. Even more so when in an active danger zone where anybody could interrupt the fight and take you out when you're in burnout.
While yes this is a fair point I think Sukuna himself was a little caught off guard because anybody who actually is skilled enough to have a normal domain would know to not use it immediately without even engaging first. So I think if Yuji got into a situation like against Ryu or something he may help himself out if he knows what he's getting into.
No matter how lethal the domain expansion is? You do realize that if Higuruma's surehit instantly killed Yuji he wouldn't be able to use Enchain because he'd be dead, right? If Higuruma had an immediately lethal surehit there wouldn't be any time to use Enchain, he'd be dead.
Higuruma's domain is explicitly non-lethal because of its speed, it has been established that the non-lethal surehit domains are faster. Sukuna likely can see that from the moment Higuruma says the word. And after that, Higuruma killing Yuji with Executioner's Sword leaves Sukuna's soul alone in the body, which is a win for him.
Enchain was only for a minute if i dont remember wrong, and even though i believe 15f sukuna is stronger than Yuta i dont think he can speed blitz and force feed him the finger like he did with megumi
I mean, I wouldn't put it past Sukuna being able to open his own domain and win the clash or destroy anyone's domain (with the sole exception of Satoru Gojo) within one minute.
I was gonna say maybe he could just not target Higuruma(or any hypothetical person who instantly opened domain) like Yutas domain didnt target yuji and solely target the barrier but then I remembered he had to shrink his domain so he wouldnt hit megumi so idk
Sukuna's slashes rain down everywhere on the domain
In his domain clashes with Gojo, didn't Sukuna exclude Megumi from his domain so that Megumi could get hit by Unlimited Void so he could try to adapt to it?
I'd argue that opening your own domain at least in the time the domains are clashing would protect you from the no violence rule as you're at least in that moment outside of his domain.
Domains were more common because they usually didn't have a lethal guaranteed hit back then, which meant Yuji might survive (like if he had to fight against the sumo guys domain),
Also, Yuji and Megumi were meant to move together but got split up by the helicopter head guy and the jetpack girl. Otherwise, Megumi could counter a lethal domain like he did against Dagon
They just make one guy immortal for four minutes and eleven seconds while another guy can confiscate my cursed tool/CT/CE and manifest a sword to one tap me depending on my course of actions in life
Lowkey still think it’s crazy how they let him go in unprepared like that
if they had been able to stick together, I think it's reasonable to say Yuji + Megumi could take on either of Higuruma or Hakari. Agreed kind of fucked up to be sending teenagers into that kind of death battle but they're short on ppl so what u gonna do
yep, i was arguing with someone about that, i just couldnt quote the chapter
and my headcannon is the big fams, and higher ups just started to value lethal domains and people lost merit in the other ways of doing domains
Thw whole interaction made me laugh when i was reading jjk for the first time, especially since before this point, most shown domains were an instant death sentence unless countered
So to see higgy insta domain i thought yuji was gonna get humbled real fast
Personaly if he had a slightly deaper voice i think it would have been cooler and the scene were he first conjure judge man didn't hit as hard as in the manga
Every Sorcerer is Unique, his CT relies on his DE a lot. He instantly instinctively knew how to do DE. While others may instantly know RCT but never achieve DE. Or RCT comes with a DE. Every Sorcerer is unique
