I see, this does make the toji knife regen feat useless. And looking at the blood amount even when taking the illustration gege drew into account it seems makima's attack draws more blood from the brain damage gojo suffered. Im still not fully convinced one attack of this would insta kill gojo but there's a good chance. I think the deciding factor will be if makima will use the future devil. If she uses the future devil and she sees herself get pasted from an attack she cant see she'll for sure use this move but I dont remember her ever actually using this ability, and then her profile states that she has the weakness of letting herself get hit so there's that too.In real world neurosurgery, a spontaneous or trauma induced intracerebral hemorrhage actually is far deadlier than a knife track that simply pierces the brain.
When an artery ruptures inside the cranial vault it releases pressurized blood into soft neural tissue that has almost nowhere to go. The expanding clot raises intracranial pressure within minutes which squashes adjacent brain structures, shuts off capillary perfusion and can force the brainstem downward in a terminal herniation cascade. Even if the initial bleed is modest, biochemical toxicity from iron, thrombin and glutamate sets off hours to days of secondary edema and cell death throughout the surrounding parenchyma.
By contrast, a classic brain stab creates a narrow and mostly linear tract. If the blade misses the deep brainstem or major vessels and ventricles, the damage is confined to a pencil thin corridor. Especially for Toji, the size of Gojo's injury was very, very minimal if you take a look at the scan.
Edit: Also even if gojo survives his output would be very nerfed after this so that needs to be taken into account
