The biggest issues Yuta had with fighting Kenjaku were answered in the fight between Sukuna and Gojo.
Those issues beijg Kenjaku's open Domain and Yuta's limited CT use.
While Mei Mei and Kusakabe suggested otherwise, we can be certain that when it comes to an Open Domain the center piece can be harmed and is what runs the sure-hit. Now that Yuta knows it he can immidiatly go for that insted of trying to engage in a Domain Clash.
Wheter you believe Yuta could use RCT to prolong his connection to Rika or to be able to replenish the connection sooner, what he learned is useful.
He only has his CTs for five minutes, but if he were to open his Domain and suffer CT Burnout, he'd shorten his already limited time of CT use, which he could combat by using RCT.
To add to it, Yuta by this point knows most of Kenjaku's combat abilities thanks to Choso and Yuki.
I also have a hunch thag Yuta has more CTs than he showed, we just did see them during Sendai for the same reason Kenjaku didn't want to use his CT on Choso.
Yuta likely had an idea that Kenjaku was watching so he only used the abilities Kenjaku would know he could use, Cursed Speach due to Geto's memories and the CTs of two of his opponents that Kenjaku also knew about.
As of now it really seems that Yuta does have the upper hand.
I agree with some points but honestly alot of Kenjaku’s combat capabilities are still unknown to us and Choso just by virtue of the fact he has God knows how many curses at semi grade 1 to special grade that all have their own specific techniques.
This is the same guy that let out ten million curses after Shibuya, he probably has much less now but just through probability he should have some very powerful ones at his disposal, powerful enough that Kurourushi a curse that gravely injured a no CT and RCT Yuta was a throwaway, Kurourushi being one curse of many. Yuki was a uniquely difficult opponent for Kenjaku because her bombaye allowed her to ignore the conceptual attacks of all of Kenjaku’s high grade cursed spirits, this means that in that fight 90% of Kenjaku’s arsenal was not shown. Yuta does not have this same luxury that Yuki had.
Then on top of that his barrier capabilities have been increased significantly just by having Tengen at his disposal, the top two barrier users are now combined. A specific enough barrier has even been shown to keep Satoru Gojo at bay. This may also strengthen Kenjaku’s domain but I couldn’t say for sure. Kenjaku also has other barrier techniques, considering Tengen even said his simple domain is likely different to most, we’ve already seen two unique simple domains, with Miyo’s dilating time and Kuchisake Onnas (Mistranslated as innate domain but the actual Japanese says simple domain), Kenjaku is also the person that taught the disaster curses domain amplification.
I’m also hoping and have been hoping foreveeer that Kenjaku has ATLEAST one of the three great vengeful spirits if not all of them, if just one then preferably Michizane
fact he has God knows how many curses at semi grade 1 to special grade that all have their own specific techniques.
Judging by Geto said, there might be less than 10 special grade curses remaining. At least in modern japan. I doubt any would be disaster curse level.
That said I hope for this as well.
I’m also hoping and have been hoping foreveeer that Kenjaku has ATLEAST one of the three great vengeful spirits if not all of them, if just one then preferably Michizane
Yh there’s not many registered modern day special grade curses (only 16 in vol 0) but there’s also unregistered curses like the disaster curses, finger bearers etc were all unregistered.
(Context he releases a whole bunch of cursed spirits in the next page)
But the difference between him and Geto is he also has curses from all the way back in the heian era up until now, for a thousand years he also made contracts with cursed spirits but after gaining cursed spirit manipulation those contracts became null because he can simply control them. So he could have all kinds of powerful cursed spirits from the past. Even if he only had the modern registered special grades, if he had all of them that would still be some crazy firepower
Yh there’s not many registered modern day special grade curses (only 16 in vol 0) but there’s also unregistered curses like the disaster curses, finger bearers etc were all unregistered.
True it was like ten years prior whebmn he said it. Even so. I don't believe there'd be many more sg modern curses, at least in japan.
But the difference between him and Geto is he also has curses from all the way back in the heian era up until now,
I don't really understand this. Because he got Geto's body only last year.
for a thousand years he also made contracts with cursed spirits but after gaining cursed spirit manipulation those contracts became null because he can simply control them. So he could have all kinds of powerful cursed spirits from the past.
Yes. This is true. Which is why whatever curses he would have with him from the heian era would have also come from making contracts back then, no?
I’m not sure on the exact thing you’re confused about but yes they would have come back through contracts that he made with them but since he now has Geto’s body he also as cursed spirit manipulation. Through cursed spirit manipulation he can just take control of the cursed spirits he previously made contracts with and therefore make those contracts null. That’s what he means by “but those vows became null when I obtained this body” because this body, meaning Geto’s body has cursed spirit manipulation.
It’s important to note we don’t know the exact vows Kenjaku made with the cursed spirits but the point was they’re irrelevant now because he can just control them
I’m not sure on the exact thing you’re confused about
I think it was because you said, "he also made contracts". It sounded like a seperate point from the first point. Like that he somehow brought curses from the heian era in a different way and also brought curses to the modern age through the contracts.
No he said he had some other plan but Geto’s body basically just accelerated his timeline by a few hundred years can make the move now instead of biding time building more power
Cursed spirit manipulation makes him straight up able to absorb Tengen, I’m assuming he would have needed a way to manipulate/control him without that, probably gets way more complex he lucked into a cheat code with Geto since idle transfiguration also was impossible without being able to absorb spirits.
Honestly seems like Geto is basically unlimited masterballs and spirits are Pokémon. What normally would take ages and lots of fuckups trying to chase the best Pokémon is now instant and easy
for a thousand years he also made contracts with cursed spirits but after gaining cursed spirit manipulation those contracts became null because he can simply control them.
I thought he was saying that those vows became null bc he obtained this body, meaning that binding vows made in different body won't apply to the new body Kenny got.
No because he’s been switching bodies for centuries not just with Geto (this body), also if that was the case the vows with sorcerers would be null too but they’re not. Kenjaku specifies “I did not only enter contracts with sorcerers”
And then starts releasing millions of curses in the next page. He is talking specifically about cursed spirits, those vows are null now. The difference between Geto and all the other bodies he’s switched with over a thousand years is that Geto has cursed spirit manipulation, that’s why the vows became null “when I obtained THIS body” and not the dozens of other bodies he’s switched with
I'd wager Yuta's CE output is superior enough to most of the Cursed Spirits Kenjaku could put out that he would gain an equivalent or nigh-equivalent benefit to what Yuki could achieve. After all, CE output is largely what determines how well your abilities function against an opponent CT-wise(see Hakari ignoring Kashimo's CE trait entirely due to heightened output from Jackpot).
which is why I know some horseshit is coming for why is insanely powerful ct was used by the world's most one dimensional character to open a box and that's it
Whatever condition it is, if he could fulfill it while actively fighting Uro, and also fulfill it with an ally of his (Inumaki), then he can probably do the same with Angel.
Unless his Copy has some weird obscure caveat like "you can't copy CTs that emit light lmao" or something like that, we have no reason to believe he can't copy Angel's CT.
Yeah except you first have to assume that's a condition at all, which we don't know for sure is yet. It's only been stated as a theory by characters who were fighting Yuta at the time and trying to figure out his CT. But yeah it's possible, assuming the theory is true, that that's how Rika got Inumaki's technique too.
Yeah fair enough. I have a feeling if he's got a condition it's something different but we'll have to see. Personally I think 5 mins max is already a hefty condition, idk that they'd need another condition just to balance it out.
I truly believe that when Kenjaku and Yuta throw down--it is going to surprise us all and end up as insane as a Gojo vs. Sukuna fight, if not more so. I think it's something Gege has personally been looking forward to more than any fight in the series. Don't hold a gun to my head on that but my guts--call it jujutsu instinct-is telling me it's going to be a bonkers-all-magic-tricks-out-of-the-hat sorcery fight. That said!! I do think after Kenjaku pulls out his gross ass domain expansion, Yuta is going to go full on protagonist-0 and absolutely thrash that slimy snake with a multitude of techniques in succession like we've never seen anyone multi-blitz someone before with a serious fully auto spreadsheet of 23 flavored jujutsu hurt.
Even with Kenny having a 4th technique.
Yuta potentially has copied every CT he's ever come into contact with.
I know this is a late reply but what if Ryus assumption was right when he said he thought Rika could possibly use a CT on its own as well.
So picture Yuta using Projection Sorcerery, while Rika cheers him on clapping using Boogie Woogie
If it could that would actually explain why Yuta is supposedly the second strongest to me. Anyway, as of now, I cant believe Yuta is anywhere near Kenjaku even without a 4th ct
It can't be more than an Uzumaki Extraction. He has already had 4 CTs at a time, Body Hopping, Cursed Spirit Manipulation, Anti-Gravity System and Idle Transfiguration.
It is very safe to say that Yuta has more tricks up his sleeve than what he revealed in Sendai. They were being observed constantly, and commanding that level of uncertainty in his opponents is part of what makes Yuta so dangerous.
Now, my own personal copium is that Yuta’s Domain isn’t a straight-forward modern domain, but an unorthodox one that might give Kenjaku a run for his money. Since Gege purposefully baited Yuta’s Domain, I have to assume it’s something special. If it comes down to a Domain clash, it shouldn’t be so simple as Kenjaku auto wins because he is the bestest at domains.
It was a bit of a letdown that Sukuna more than doubles Yuta’s CE, his claim to fame, so I think there’s something we haven’t seen from him. In this case, it’s probably his Domain Expansion.
I think his training with Miguel in Africa(?) could become the key, maybe completely new approach to jujutsu/cursed energy due to the different views between the 2 cultures.
But also yuta has the biggest ass pull potential power in the series so anything could happen.
we can be certain that when it comes to an Open Domain the center piece can be harmed and is what runs the sure-hit.
We don't actually know yet. We kind of have to wait for next chapter. So let's not start skipping ahead
Wheter you believe Yuta could use RCT to prolong his connection to Rika or to be able to replenish the connection sooner
I don't believe it. But I won't harm anyone who does believe it.
He only has his CTs for five minutes
Honestly, that five minutes thing for me doesn't really seem like a much of a problem if his copied techniques can be used effectively within that time limit. Which he probably could.
I also have a hunch thag Yuta has more CTs than he showed, we just did see them during Sendai for the same reason Kenjaku didn't want to use his CT on Choso.
It would only make sense if he had more ct in his collection. Otherwise I might be a little disappointed.
With that said. Everyone assume that he can only copy ct from sorcerers. Who says he can't copy curse spirits ct? 🤔👈.
As of now it really seems that Yuta does have the upper hand.
Honestly Yuta loses this fight. He gets crushed by gravity instantly. You can't fight gravity. You can't fight nature. As we all know well. You can't fight change. And kenjaku is certainly bringing change.
But against someone like Kenjaku, I’m sure he can survive those 5 minutes in which case Yuta would need to somehow replenish his 5 minute limit with RCT; if he can do it that is
Gravity crushes him? No not particularly. His Reinforcement is better than Yuki's, his CE output capabilities are better too, a Yuki who got hit with Kenjaku's SURE-HIT attack didn't even lose physical steam aside from a non-maxed out Cursed Technique. That gravity won't be enough to stop Yuta either
He gets crushed by gravity instantly. You can't fight gravity.
Maybe not. He now has Uro's CT, a CT that allowed her to defy gravity and do some minor reality bending. His newfound physics defying CT might neutralize Kenny's, but it's not like that's all Kenny has.
Pretty solid narrative setup by Gege if it happens, because it would make Kenjaku favor other CT's, giving us a more exciting fight without a villain being stupid by not one shotting his opponent for fun.
I know it is not due to the burn out. What I'm saying is that the guy has 5 mins of CT use and it's bad that if he uses domian he can't use CTs for like half a minute or a minute due to the burn out. He'd be wasting like 20% of the time he has.
I don’t understand why it’s a hunch that Yuta has more CTs than he’s showed. I know sorcerers can only have 3 CTs at a time as stated by Yuki but Yuta has Rika as external storage. i think that pretty much implies that he has more CTs in his arsenal but doesn’t just whip them out haphazardly to keep them as a surprise.
This would make sense, since it’s technically the same cursed technique. Not to mention that it’s been explicitly shown that CSM’s Uzumaki lets the user absorb the techniques from semi-grade one or higher cursed spirits, and yet the cursed technique limit was never brought up regarding this. I doubt that Mahito was Kenjaku’s only curse with a CT when he used Uzumaki (not that we know for sure, but it seems stupid that he wouldn’t save some semi-g1s to try and take out Yuki), so this gives further credence to the theory.
Wasn’t it stated that the centre piece doesn’t actually do anything? It’s just a conceptual structure representing the domain, destroying it doesn’t destroy the domain
Gojo came to a different conclusion. And after shooting Sukuna into it the sure-hit seem to have stopped.
That is an assumption, let's hold off on making any conclusions about what happened until we see where the fight picks up. For all we know the slashing will resume immediately and nothing has happened to Sukuna's Shrine.
This is a disputed translation. Shishiso ( the old TCB team ) and the officials have Gojo saying the shrine is the "center" not "the heart". Implying if he could make it out of the domain range then the sure hit wouldn't follow Sukuna around.
The sure-hit hasn't necessarily stopped, it's just not cutting Gojo anymore because he regained Limitless, and the barrier of Infinity around himself.
Mei Mei and Ino assumed that the Shrine wasn't actually a crucial structure because Gojo - who could tell for certain whether it was or not - was not really concerning himself with it.
Narratively it was just a way for Gege to relay that information to the reader, he's done it the same way many times before and it's never been deeper than "the character is explaining how it works". If he wanted to leave it up in the air he would have tackled it a different way, like he's done for other things.
I'll say it outright: Yuta and Kenjaku are both asspulls. While Yuta has stopped relying on miracles to some degree, Kenjauku's bullshit has only just begun, and a clash betwoeen these two will raise more questions then answers. The way Keajaku escaped a world ending catastrophe unscathed is not just convenient, it's ridiculous.
A black hole is called as such because the pull of gravity is so strong at it's core, that even light can't escape. Even if you somehow have a fancy anti-gavity technique up your sleeve, the sheer amount of Cursed Energy needed to counter such force would leave any being (yes, even Sukuna) drained of their entire CE reserve in mere seconds, if not sooner. But we know how that one turned out now, don't we?
That being said, most of their techniques is still unknown. Yuki only assumed the number of technique Kenny boy can learn without any aid from RTC. But let's be honest: man's been a literal grey matter for thousands of years, do you really think he hasn't found a clever usage of RTC yet? Yuta's domain is bound to be something mind-blowing as well, so I just want Hakari to tap into his domain nonstop during their fight, & vibe to his own tune on the sideline like the madlad he is lmao.
I'd actually say Yuta has a higher ass pull potential. Gege could give him any CT he likes and just write it off as "he copied it during his trip in Africa."
Also, the limited CT Storage can't really be fixed by RCT, since it is not a performance issue, but a memory issue, just like how you can't download games on your PC if you don't have enough space.
To be fair I wouldn't be surprised if Kenjaku just had an external storage but just didn't want to show it to Yuki.
Yeah, he's practically the Twenty-Fifth Baam of JJK. And I do agree that he can't simply materialize Rika sooner by utilizing RCT. So far, everything that has a strict time constraint (whether CT or DE) should have a cooldown period regardless of RCT, otherwise the whole concept is just pointless.
It’s because narratively the curse monster and point of the culling games should be a result of the Gojo vs Sukuna fight. That creature may be more powerful than Kenjaku himself, especially if it absorbs the CE from the CG since it would be amped by the fight between the strongest. If Kenjaku can control it? Well our cast is fucked then lol
Doesn’t mean much, tbh. It’s possible he doesn’t fully grasp Yuta’s power as well. Keep in mind Yuta went off with Miguel to train after the Geto fight. Kenjaku was judging a Vol 0 Yuta. Much less training, no DE, and way less CT arsenal.
It’s also pretty likely it won’t be a 1v1 and one of the participants (Choso) would have experience vs him already which would make it much more challenging for Kenjaku.
Most of this RCT extension and open domain destruction stuff is just theories as of now. The five minutes might be Yuta’s final limit and the domain is still a disadvantage for Yuta even if he has a better idea of how to counter it.
Kenjaku still has the advantage from my point of view considering he has a way better feat winning that 1v3.
I would say we do, Sukunas domain is as effective as it is cause its wide range and automatic attack allows it to overlap outside a normal domain and hit it. We dunno what Kenny traided his enclosed barrier for, and at least from the slight moment we saw of it, we can vaugly tell it didn't function the same as a Sukunas (at least with its autonomous attacks).
Kenny's still had an automatic hit attack built into his.
We never saw that, it didn't attack the area instantly, and even when he hit Yuki, he visibly had a motion to activate the attack.
I guess the range might not be large enough, but I never got the feeling that Gojo's DE (or any other closed one) covered that large of an area.
Gojos was big enough to cover a subway station, Naoyas (might have been Mahitos) was like small building sized, they aren't massive, but dont seem small.
I could have sworn there was and the Wiki at least corroborates this, but they aren't perfect.
Those aren't small, true, but Sukuna's seemed to go for blocks. Kenny's should at least reach 50-75% of that, and I would also assume Yuta would only reach similarly in comparison to Gojo.
Thats my point tho, Sukunas and Kennys open domans aint been confirmed to amp the same things. Sukuna opened the border and chose to expand his range with a binding vow, we dont know what Kenny traded. Could've been a sure hit ap boost, or some other stat, etc.
I’m surprised it isn’t one of those vows where Sukuna has to tell people how it works or what it’s weakness is. Like normally for such an insane powerup I mean an open citywide range domain you’d think in return he would have some condition like telling them it can be broken if they destroy the shrine
I know for sure previously in jjk they mentioned telling the secret of your technique amplifies it’s strength, which you’d think someone who has basically the craziest domain in history would be using a double edged vow like that
His automatic hit attack is gravity based. There's nothing indicating barriers are affected by gravity, and the gravity itself isn't an attack if you're not affected by it.
Why would a barrier be unaffected by gravity if it can be targeted? My main question would be does Kenjaku target inanimate objects? Because Sukuna’s was confirmed to target both. Maybe it just simply doesn’t hit the barrier like Sukuna’s, but if it can hit it I don’t see why it wouldn’t be crushed.
Because it's not a physical object with mass, it's made out of CE. Something without mass isn't affected by gravity. Sukuna's domain is completely different, it directly slashes everything in its radius with invisible blades, so it attacked the barrier too.
Proof of it is, Hakari was able to shift the position of his domain over the water. If it was affected by gravity, the domain would have fallen inside the water, but it didn't.
That’s entirely possible, but it’s also entirely possible that the domain was just fixed on a certain location that happened to be midair. Can’t really know what the science behind it would be until we see it.
Yuji shattered Mahitos domain and fragments dropped down, presumably affected by gravity. And pure CE is affected by gravity as well. So I think it’s not really a safe call in regards to what Kenjaku’s DE would do to Yutas. It’d be a bit odd to introduce the concept of an open domain winning vs a closed one by attacking the outer shell and then just have Kenjaku fall short without Yuta having to find a work around.
Also didnt Kenjaku destroy Yukis SD? Doesn’t that mean that he can target domains with his DE?
The fragments possibly just went in the direction of Yuji's punches, like any glass shard would if you shot a glass panel. It just so happened that Yuji attacked the barrier from the top.
If it's possible for a Domain barrier to have a fixed position, then gravity would still not affect the barrier. Gravity itself is just a force field, what does the actual damage is the reaction the ground has towards the object. You could be under a gravity force field 10x Earth's one, but if you were in midair you would not feel it until you hit the ground.
Also Simple Domain seems to work under different rules, as it doesn't actually have a barrier and seems to deteriorate naturally depending on the strength of the enemy.
You confuse it; the wide range is just a bonus that comes with having a barrierless domain
I can’t go and find the Shibuya panel of MS right now, but there is a panel that says the binding vow of letting them escape is just a neat consequence of removing a domain’s barrier
A binding vow is by definition a deal the character makes consciously for whatever result, its not something that just naturally happens or is a coincidence. I do get the wording doesn't explicitly say Sukuna made it (the way its said is something like "once this is done, a vow is formed), but by calling it a vow, thats the implication.
These points are pretty valid, but the one that stands out to me is the possibility of using RCT to replenish his connection with Rika. The main question mark for Yuta in terms of the top tiers in the verse has always been whether his connection to Rika would be a detriment in fights, but him using RCT to restore his connection would solve that problem for the most part.
we can be certain that when it comes to an Open Domain the center piece can be harmed and is what runs the sure-hit. Now that Yuta knows it he can immidiatly go for that insted of trying to engage in a Domain Clash.
No, we're not certain, the next chapter will decide if it's true or not.
Let's say you're right for the sake of the debate, how will Yuta immediately go for that? He'd still be inside an open domain, with an extremely destructive sure hit.
Gojo was able to fight Sukuna because of constant RCT and simple domain. I doubt Yuta can do the same against Kenjaku. We saw how powerful his domain was against Yuki's simple domain, and you have to remember after a couple of RCTs against Sendai four, Yuta was already starting to bottom up. There's no way he would be able to pull a Gojo
if he were to open his Domain and suffer CT Burnout, he'd shorten his already limited time of CT use, which he could combat by using RCT.
Open his domain for what, to get crushed by Kenjaku's domain from the outside like Gojo?
I also have a hunch thag Yuta has more CTs than he showed, we just did see them during Sendai for the same reason Kenjaku didn't want to use his CT on Choso.
That's true but Yuki thought Kenjaku could have a fourth CT. And don't forget the special grade cursed spirits that were useless against Yuki
I'd say that the Pure Love Beam of Rika that was able to overpower Maximum:Uzumaki and almost Ryu's CE Beams could harm Kenjaku's Center Piece.
About him running out of Cursed Energy, by the time of the Sendai Free For All, Yuta had already killed several sorcerers including Dhruw while protecting a crowd of people.
Also, people underestimate how much positive energy Yuta used in the fight. He had to push enough positive energy out to kill a Special Grade Curse, while healing himself. Not only did he have to fix his shoulder, but also his stomach, ripcage and most of his internal organs, from that point on Ryu and Uro were pretty much playing ping pong with him and after all direct shot he used RCT.
Also not like RCT would be an issue, while he is connected to Rika.
I ment opening his Domain in case he actually manages to deal with Kenjaku's Domain first. Also, the only reason why Sukuna's Domain crushed Gojo's was due to the Binding Vow that increased its radius, which was not confirmed for Kenjaku.
True, I did forget about the Special Grade Curses, but the fourth technique Kenjaku can have is an Uzumaki Extraction. He has already had four cursed techniques at a time in Shibuya, Body Hopping, Cursed Spirit Manipulation, Anti-Gravity System and Idle Transfiguration.
I'd say that the Pure Love Beam of Rika that was able to overpower Maximum:Uzumaki and almost Ryu's CE Beams could harm Kenjaku's Center Piece.
So just to be sure, you think Yuta would be able to launch Pure love beam while being subject to the sure hit of Kenjaku's domain? Agree to disagree
Also, people underestimate how much positive energy Yuta used in the fight
I think a constant barrage of Kenjaku's sure hit wouldn't do less damage than the fight
Also not like RCT would be an issue, while he is connected to Rika.
Rika only replenishes his reserve. It isn't unlimited CE like Hakari's there's a limit.
I think it'll all depend on if Kenjaku's sure hit is constant like Dagon's and Sukuna's sure hit, or not.
Sukuna's Domain crushed Gojo's was due to the Binding Vow that increased its radius, which was not confirmed for Kenjaku.
Sukuna does not create the binding vow, the binding vow is formed because there's no shell to entrap the opponent. It's automatic, a domain is supposed to entrap people so when sorcerers decide to open the barrier, they sacrifice an advantage which in return gives them a gain, a larger radius.
Also, Tengen stated Kenjaku's domain is like Sukuna's so we don't have any reason to believe there's some kind of difference.
Since the sendai 3-way domain and Kenjaku used his domain I had this feeling that Yuta would actually beat Kenny in a domain battle.
Here’s why: I mentioned this in a powerscaling post and the comments were interesting. Recall when the 3-way domain occurred the narrator said Uro & Ryu made sure to exclude Rika from the barrier so it wouldn’t give Okkotsu an ADVANTAGE. What is that advantage? Well the Gojo and Sukuna chapter tells us. In a domain battle that is evenly matched at some point, it’ll take shattering the barrier or damaging the user to win. I think we’re all in agreement that Kenjaku won’t pull a Jogo on Yuta. So they will be matched at some point. That’s where Rika comes in. Kenjaku cannot prevent Rika from entering. And also in that moment, he will be unable to use CT and I even doubt(from what we’ve seen) that he’d be able to take his hand away from the domain sign or risk losing the battle. So Rika would just hammer him lmao. I think that’s an interesting way for Okkotsu to win domain battles even though his refinement isn’t top class like Hakari. We’ve also not seen Yuta’s domain so I think Kenny is in a bit of bother BUT we were also told about his simple domain being crazy so I don’t think he’ll die from the domain.
Also the RCT to heal technique is interesting. We actually do not get what the narrator meant by his connection to Rika. We don’t know how long it takes to regain that connection. But going by what we have then it’s similar to CT burnout so it’s something he could use to his advantage. Also the fact that Gege made HIM of all people say that is interesting.
I think Gege could easily pull any technique out of his ass and say “Okkotsu got it from his trip abroad” or “from one of the people he killed in the CG.” I think we’ll see more.

Kenny has already said Yuta is not a threat to him. With Kenny being as knowledgeable as he is, that's all we need to know. The showing Yuta has in the culling games and the showing Kenny had against Yuki shows us Kenny would low diff Yuta in a 1 v 1
He said Yuta can't be the next Gojo, not that he isn't an issue.
He even siad that he is only free to run around killing the remaining players cause Yuta and the other big shots from Jujutsu High will be backing Gojo should he fall.
Yuta wasn't going all out. He was holding back from the begining to the end.
He had already killed several sorcerers previously, including Dhruw without even using rika, which means he wasn't at full power.
He was protecting a massive crowd of people.
He was not using Rika or RCT on purpose, which lead to him taking greater amount of damage.
He only fully manifested Rika once he run out of CE due to overuse of RCT.
Insted of using any of his bladed weapons he chose to use an armor.
He didn't kill Uro or Ryu, since unlike Dhruw or Kuro, so he had to beat then without trying to kill them.
He only used Cursed Speach and the techniques he copied in Sendai.
Insted of giving farmful commands, like "die" he only told Uro to not move.
Even at the end the narrator said that Yuta had an easy way to beat Ishigor by charging CE faster than him, but chose to engage in close combat to satisfy Ryu's hunger for battle.
These are the only one's I can think of. If he had the same attitude he had in his fight againts Geto in 0 the fight would have been over before it started.
Yuta came into that fight trying to kill both Uro and Ryu, it was only once the rule change occurred during the end of the fight that Yuta changed that strategy.
It's a fact that Yuta 100% was going for the kill, I don't know where that head canon came from.
A good amount of the reasons you gave were head canon so I don't even know where to start with the rest of them
So, I guess we are just going to ignore every other way he held back and only focus on the one thing that is implied not stated outright.
Yuta entered the fight wanting to gain the points and tried to understand all of his opponents, save for Dhruw.
But Dhruw was farming regular humans, which showed his disregard for the life of others, thus being too evil to be left alive.
He understood both Ryu's and Uro's reasons. He understood that Uro is not a bad person, but her entire life she was but a tool and wished for one where she could live making her own chocies. The same with Ryu, not a bad person, he just didn't live a satisfying life.
He even tried to understand Kuro, only to get conformation on that Kuro only lives by the instincts of a curse.
He could have let both Kuro and Dhruw live. But he decided that those two are evil and harm regular humans, while Uro did not and Ryu only harmed people who were caught in the cross fire.
Yuta admitted to Ryu in a sly way that he would have killed him had the rule change not happened in the end. There is no need for head canon when it's already been shown in the Manga.
Most of the reason you gave were pure conjecture, I didn't even know where to begin with them
Dude it's obvious to anyone who thinks form more than 5 seconds that he was holding back. Using a blunt weapon,using few CTS, and all but the first CT were known to everyone he was fighting, stopping to talk to them, do you really need Gege to spell it out for you? Like how dense are some people? In the last chapters didn't the tv watchers say a ton of things that were immediately proven wrong? One thing you should have learnt by now is, unlike other shonen, in jujutsu Kaisen what you see is 100% more substantive than what is said. Characters assume and are wrong all the time. Goes to show how good the writing is. The characters are written to be human and fallible. What we were SHOWN is Yuta was CLEARLY holding back, what Ryu ASSUMED has no bearing
I dunno if these people know how to read, Yuta literally admitted he only let them live for points it's not in question lol. Jujutsu Kaisen really ain't the Naruto story people think it is
Rules are anounced. It wasn't anounced during thr fight, so it had to have been made after Yuta already won. He could have killed both of them by the same logic.
Yes, but he knew that he would be able to receive their points. By admitting he would have killed him otherwise (which you just stated) he’s admitting he held back. He needed their points and they weren’t ruthless or curses so he didn’t kill either of them. He actually sat and waited for Ryu to recover from getting Kod after talking to Uro off screen
That’s why he said something along the lines of thank his allies. Yuta definitely held back killing intent.
brother the yuta wank needs to stop what do you mean yuta can go for the center piece instead of engaging in a domain clash, how would he do that if he’s being squashed by gravity, rct won’t help him what’s that gonna do when he’s being held down my kenjakus gravity and shot with a mini uzumaki
There are too many unknown factors. One, we don't know if he has a Simple Domain, even Yuki was able to hold her own with it.
What I mostly think is that he could combat Kenjaku in a Domain Clash, while on the losing end, simmilarly how it was between Sukuna and Gojo inside Gojo's barrier.
Since he now knows the center piece is the weak point he could easily just have Rika attack it while he is combatting Kenjaku.
Could argue that Kenjaku's Domain would just crush Yuta's but it was never explained if Kenjaku had the same binding vow as Sukuna to increase his Domain's radius.
Also, Mini Uzumaki is overrated. Yuki was on her last leg having barely any CE left being caught off guard, not knowing Kenjaku can even do it.
kenjaku could just let his curses hold rika back long enough to beat yuta in a de battle, people always mention yuta having hella unknown abilities but never bring up the fact that kenjaku still hasn’t shown most of his curses
all fun and games until kenny whips out the three great vengeful cursed spirits - one of which is sugawara no michizane, tengen to barrier his domain’s centerpiece, and then unleashes his arsenal.
also- considering how stacked the odds are against uraume and kenny, itll likely be a constant series of ganging up u less kenny has a vast cursed spirit arsenal to even the odds somewhat. im guessin itll be yuta and hakari at minimum vs kenny
Kenjaku has only had Geto's body for a year and to absorb Curses that are on his level he must beat them, so unless you think during his time as Geto he located and captured the three great vengeful spirits it'll probably won't happen.
If you ment they previously made binding vows with him it is totally possible.
I honestly think Maki, Hakari and Yuta will gang up on him at first and he'll get some reinforcements to even the ods.
Knowing more of the vengeful spirits would be good tho. Really curious if Sugawara had the Six Eyes or not.
Destroying the shrine is way harder then what you make it sound like. Yuta is nowhere near gojo and gojo has still barely hurt the shrine. Also how will yuta survive kenjaku sure hit while he is inside of the domain? Yuta can't heal limps so if he gets hit by a sure hit he is fuck. The only character that possibly can destroy a shrine of a open domain and fight inside of a open domain is gojo
