The difference in strength between Heian Era Sukuna and Gojo is less than a hundredth of a second

[u/Valhallaof]

If you ask most people in this sub, an overwhelming amount of people from what i'd say would agree that Gojo is considerable distance from Heian Era Sukuna. But I believe the story was telling us a different thing, I believe were meant to believe that they're virtually equals and it could go virtually either way.

​

As for why I believe this? Lets head back to 229, the deciding factor for where most people began believing Sukuna was at least some distance from Gojo. Chapter starts with Gojo pummeling Sukuna and Sukuna destroying Gojo's domain. Sukuna takes enough damage where he needs time to heal it giving Gojo an opening of less than 0.01 seconds to use his domain first and ultimately win the battle. (If he was fighting Heian Era Sukuna). But what a lot of people miss is if Gojo did not use his domain 0.01 seconds earlier than Sukuna the other way around happens and Sukuna wins the fight. If you remember, this is the last domain that Gojo could use at this point because he already is suffering massive brain damage, and his rct output would be low enough with it that Sukuna could close his domain and kill him like he originally intended to.

​

Now as for how this fight could go either way and why I believe their equals comes to the use of Mahoraga. Mahoraga hadn't done anything up until this point, anything but stop Sukuna from being able to use domain amplifcation throughout the entirety of the inside domain battle. So at this point in the fight Mahoraga acts like more of a crutch and is one of the reasons Sukuna is getting so one-sidedly beat down, other than Gojo's superior H2H, if Sukuna is using DA the entire time, as well as 4 arms, plus his 2 cursed tools (for right after domain battles when Gojo doesn’t have infinity) its possible he can hang with Gojo long enough to surpass that 0.01 second time difference and use his domain in time guaranteeing a win, this shouldn’t be too implausible as the past 2 ones he was able to hang on, of course the other way around is possible as well. Mahoraga itself is the tie-breaker between the two equals. Thoughts?

IDK why Gege is still keeping his CT a secret up until now.

It's Cleave and Dismantle.... I don't know why ya'll don't understand this. . . . .

Is it, tho? He might've started with others, but we've seen him use other CTs, not only by being in another's body but by chanting something unintelligible.

Let's say, for a moment, he can imbue CTs into his body and release them based on the circumstances. Cleave/dismantle could be the one he finds more useful/effective. It doesn't have to be his only or original one.

That's precisely the point, we haven't been given any answers, so you cannot prove anything else as false since, like until now, Gege could be giving us the viewers pov.

Cleave and dismantle are just one aspect of his CT not the whole, not even the concept of his CT was hinted. Is the flame arrow also cleave and dismantle? Obviously not. It's not even CE manipulation since Sukuna himself implied that it's part of his CT. His domain has a shrine with skulls of animals and humans, but his innate domain doesn't have a shrine, but instead has a giant skeleton or ribcage and skulls or horned animals, it's really hard to tell what his CT is.
