- Mahito's domain in Shibuya still required him to activate his technique. He just merged the activation with the actualisation of his innate domain, making it fast.
- Hakari still activates his technique in his domain. But because his sure hit (the information on his pachinko game) is harmless, it activates very fast.
Base Hakari reaction speed is lesser than Kashimo you can't really argue he manually activated his sure hit there also TL is wrong. It never mention in TCB that he activates his Sure hit faster. Tcb was just talking about sure hit because of his domain.
- Higuruma's domain comes with an environmental binding vow(?) that stops violence. With that, he has the time to explain the rules of his domain so the technique and sure hit can activate when the trial is over.
All of this is to say there is no such thing as an "automatic sure hit" and Gojo is no exception.
If his technique was truly automatic, it'd be fast to activate and there'd be no reason to highlight Mahito's speed with merging steps and even referencing him again when introducing a faster domain user in Hakari.
I think you are confusing with speed of activation by users and sure hit which is already embedded to barriers which is I meant as automatics since user speed is not required for that like Hakari to activate it. It would automatically activates once barriers are laid out and domain is cast.
Also it'd mean Sukuna and Gojo using their domain at the same time would ALWAYS end with Sukuna getting hit by UV seeing as you believe he has to manually activate his technique after making his barrier and laying out his innate domain, unlike Gojo who you think would have the technique activate automatically. But clearly that doesn't happen until Sukuna is actually late to opening the barrier in the first place which shows they both have to go through all 3 steps for their domain expansion to activate.
Gojo's domain was faster not that he activated his sure hit faster than Sukuna. Nothing you are saying implied they need to go through 3 steps.
Did you forget that Sukuna's handsigns and chants were to keep HWB going? He merely stopped supporting it so it took a few pages for Yuta's domain to completely strip it away just like Kenjaku did Yuki and Sukuna did Gojo.
Yuta clearly needed to fire the sure hit manually from what scan states. Nothing shows or implied that HWB blocking it.
Headcanon.
Yuta copied Yuji's unawakened technique but his looked and acted functionally the same as Sukuna's.
Because how much information Sukuna had about Copy technique? What Yuta used slashed him like Cleave he would go for that assumption. He also states what Yuji is using same technique as his Shrine. Yuji only changed his way of usage into Scissors instead of slashes. Sukuna can also change his cleave into spider web type attack.
It's all up the user interpretation.
And Sukuna calls out Yuji's poor output when he failed to cut his foot off but never made mention of that for Yuta.
First of Sukuna didn't called Yuji's slashes as weak he generalised newly learned techniques output is weak.
In fact he fully believed Yuta gained it from Sukuna's finger so there's absolutely no way it would be low output when Yuta's CT doesn't function that way.
Yuta copying Sukuna's CT doesn't mean his output is on par with Sukuna’s, and the same goes for any other techniques he copies. Yuta himself states that he can't properly use the techniques he copies without having enough information about them. He even needed to learn how to use Cursed Speech from Toge. It's also mentioned that he needs to absorb much larger quantities of body parts — not just something finger-level — for it to be effective. He specifically states that he has to make a Binding Vow to limit its use. You can clearly see that he only uses Cleave once and is surprised when he gets it, implying that he can’t make much use of it. There’s also nothing to suggest that he trained with Cleave enough to use it like Yuji or Sukuna. As you pointed out, Yuta’s Cleave was slowly digging in.
If Gojo could not do that without his entire body being covered in deep gashes first even while healing, Yuki isn't doing it either.
You are comparing Yuta's Slashes to Sukuna's which doesn't work in this case..
Remember that the reason Yuta's cleave looks "weak" and the reason Gojo survived MS is cause cleave scales with the recipients CE amount and toughness, something Sukuna and Gojo have loads of.
Even if you argue for Sukuna is durable. I already explained above there is nothing proves Yuta's proficiency in cleave even comes close to Yuji let alone Sukuna.
Yuki doesn't compare to Yuta in CE amount and as far as I'm aware she has no feats for high level output.
Kenjaku states if Yuki used her domain it wouldn't have turned this boring implying she has enough output to match him and fight for sometime. It wouldn't make sense for Kenny to say that if Yuji gets CT burnout and gets cooked by Kenny's domain instantly.
It doesn't take a long time but she needed a distraction, which she won't have.
Already explained she was trying to grab his leg and containing the black hole in the Tengen barriers. It's has nothing to do with she building up her CE. Kenjaku would have noticed the sparks if that was the case.
