The shit about 16F Sukuna vs Maki and Yuji
Wanna give it another go? lmao
Everyone has a different interpretation of this scene it’s insane. I believe Sukuna wasn’t nerfed physically but it’s very hard to scale Maki and Yuji at 15F level after Shinjuku Showdown.
I don't believe or at least don't want to believe Sukuna's physicals were nerfed so I'll do my best to keep that potential bias in mind w/my logic and the points I make.
Based on Lightning's current translations, 15/16F Sukuna fought Yuji and Maki w/only his physical/CE reinforcement capabilities in tact but reduced CT output.
Then, Sukuna had his
Evil CE bath that suppressed Megumi to where he had access to all of his techniques and capabilities to the fullest. But now that I think about it, Sukuna also has, not only Megumi's Ten Shadows but could also have the rest of the boy's Jujutsu capabilities added as well, like CE pool. Maybe even an increase in efficiency if it's possible to use another's on top of your own? If that makes sense, 15/16F Sukuna would have his full arsenal back, along w/some possible overall increase to his abilities as well when he fought Ryu and Yorozu.
Also, given Sukuna killed Ryu using Cleave and/or Dismantle, the durability/scaling issue could be a case of a blade attack vs a blunt force version.
And the Shinjuku showdown, Sukuna statements are still kinda vague and/or hold some room for bias. Like, Sukuna says everyone's drastically improved, but that could be different for each person (Yuta by 25%, Maki 20%, Yuji 40% etc.) And Sukuna's absolute
HATRED AND DISMISSAL of Yuji might be getting in the way of having the most accurate assessment of him and others by extension (that can apply for other parts of the series and not just Shinjuku).
Trying to my best for this to have a logical, sensical "flow", but I've been at this for a while; should go to bed and so my prescription do it's thing.
Goodnight and Hope this makes at least some sense!
