Even if ur mid air u can still adjust ur position when someone goes to punch you, this seems to be exactly what yuji is doing. Sukuna dashed at him to punch him and yuji used sukuna's own arm to grab onto something and slightly rotate his body. It still grazes him obviously cause Sukuna is literally dashing at him at high speeds but it doesnt pierce through him at all.
But the damage they are doing is extremely superficial and is not pushing Yuji back at all. We see that cleaves actually make Yuji be flung back a bit, and, before Yuji hit any black flashes, during the beginning of the fight dismantles waves were sending Yuji and Yuta FLYING backwards.
dont like it when he's not on your side eh?Why you always trying to bait people
cleaves never send Yuji back, they didn't the first 2 times they hit him either
the fact that we see blood spraying out of his side would mean this is incorrect
In the domain scene, black flash amped Yuji gets sent flying back by the cleaves.
This Sukuna is also like... gazillion times weaker than before
Yuji DIES to Kenjaku just like Choso would've.
He's just drawing what looks cool, it's really got nothing to do with Gege taking into account surface area.
That Ryu comparison is in general. It's never JUST about Yuta and Yuji, he quite literally follows it up with "damn they all got durable"
U can still draw blood and not pierce through a person, Yuji is constantly doing yhis to sukuna himself even, Yuji aint stronger than sukuna here so ofc a hit is gonna make him bleed, are you gonna say sukuna isnt near gojo's level cause punches from Gojo were making him spit blood?
A verse in utter disarray. We've come so far
Uhm.. ok and?
It was not general. It was clear they don't surpasses it doesn't mean they are below it either. It's pretty clear they are around there otherwise he wouldn't be comparing them to Ryu.
I'm pretty sure I made it clear Shinjuku Domain amped Yuta and Base Yuji are around Ryu's level in durability.It's never JUST about Yuta and Yuji, he quite literally follows it up with "damn they all got durable"
Ryu > Yuta
Eldemade only argues otherwise cuz then his king Yuji isn't top 5
Yuji on the same level. And Kenjaku didn't send grade 1 sorcerer level spirits, he amped them with his own cursed energy.
Also eh?
Prove that. It's quite common sense that a jab would have more piercing power than a punch. It's quite common in manga for people to burst through someone's chest using their fingers instead of their fist. It's just intuitive that the pointier fingers/nails would pierce better than a Knuckle. That's not say a knuckle can't, but it seems intuitive to most people on an instinctive level.
He's comparing everyone to Ryu.
Uhm... read the scan?Yuji on the same level. And Kenjaku didn't send grade 1 sorcerer level spirits, he amped them with his own cursed energy.
Why are we downplaying Choso in 2026???
...? Spitting blood and getting punched hard enough that blood SPRAYS from your side are not equivalent. A "grazing punch" wouldn't cause blood to spray from the point of impact. It was clearly a direct hit.
And the first 2 times he gets hit with it he doesn't. Additionally, knockback from attacks is proof your durability is BETTER than the attacks. Not the other way around. Knockback happens because your body doesn't give way, tanks the hit, but the energy still moves you.
I think Sukuna punching through Yuji makes it clear bro just writes whatever looks cool unless you think Sukuna also did a finger jab here too. I'm not saying that doesn't make sense, but it's just a jump from Gege's just drawing cool shit to Gege's specifically taking into account smaller surface area = more piercing damage for Choso's specific example.
"After ENHANCING THEM WITH MY CURSED ENERGY"
Im basically saying that sukuna making yuji bleed from the side doesnt really mean anything, he didnt pierce through him, and even yuji and mahito were making each other bleed from punching each other in the sides too. Im pretty sure when gojo does that punch near sukuna's crotch u see blood spit out (tho im not sure abt this)
You can't READ.
sukuna didn't punch through yuji the force of the punch just blew out the back of his shirtI think Sukuna punching through Yuji makes it clear bro just writes whatever looks cool unless you think Sukuna also did a finger jab here too. I'm not saying that doesn't make sense, but it's just a jump from Gege's just drawing cool shit to Gege's specifically taking into account smaller surface area = more piercing damage for Choso's specific example.
Nobody in either of those exchanges punched the other in the side and had it spray blood. Spitting up some blood when you get hit is an entirely different level of damage. I never argued Sukuna's hand went straight through Yuji lmfao I'm saying it ripped through his side.
if you think cleave is manually adjusted then it's kind of irrelevant for scaling lmfao, Sukuna is canonically heavily disinterested in Yuji and his interest levels equal his power
I don't think so, but the anime will probably show it's just cursed energy being shot out so maybe.
we see yuji's back and there's not a giant hole, so I'm right
He regenerated through instinctive rct.
I'm not falling for obvious bait like this bruh
Pretty sure he didn't punch through Yuji hereI think Sukuna punching through Yuji makes it clear bro just writes whatever looks cool unless you think Sukuna also did a finger jab here too.

He didn't. Yuji back was fine.
Okay but when the anime comes out with original content and explains Yuji unlocked rct during the cg I want my apology
Yea.. after enhancing them, they go from low tier curses as he says to beating grade 1s at Choso's level and yes Grade 1 is a wide range but its quite literally evident that the gap between a special grade and a grade 1 is insane. Saying Choso is near Yuji's level in Shinjuku is just not true man, you are comparing grade 1 level physicals to Yuta / ~<Ryu level physicals, Yuji is gapping so hard.
Theres literally 0 things supporting Choso being special grade sorcerer level by the time of the sukuna fight, the amps dont increase them that much for that otherwise u'd have special grade kukusabe.
This might just be me tripping cause its almost 3AM, so sorry if I am but,
I do think Sukuna was actually trying during chapter 257. He was literally panicking cause Yuji would not be fazed at all. I do agree that, beforehand, Sukuna was disinterested but even during those times, he ALWAYS tried to one shot Yuji with cleave. It would always cut through yuji's body like butter. He wasnt holding back cleave, it literally would have been fatal if it wasnt for rct which sukuna didnt know he had.
TS is why your Upgrade CRTs failed spectacularly and turned into a Downgrade CRT
Trying to kill someone =/= not holding back. He literally tries to kill Ryu with his first attack and is holding back. We KNOW for a FACT he doesn't try unless he's interested. Him being stressed doesn't change that.
