I'd be careful with the idea that a character has Genius level intelligence just because they did a few very smart feats. I'd be okay with giving him Gifted/Very High level of intelligence, especially thanks to that whole "learns fast" thing, but Genius generally implies a level of expertise that at first glance can seem inhuman and is very complex. If we considered Mahito a genius, we'd be awarding Extremely High or even Genius level of intelligence to the youtuber Dream himself (capable of formulating multiple plans ahead of time and quickly preparing himself to deal with unusual and extremely difficult situations, thinking extremely fast and relatively complicated thoughts in a matter of one to two seconds, etc), which I don't think is warranted just because the guy is smart, experienced, thinks fast and learns fast.Nice, there is a JJK discussion thread. Love to see Gojo & Mahito have profiles, they’re my favorite characters. First things first:
I believe that Cursed Spirits & Grade 1 Sorcerers should scale above Mechamaru’s Ultimate Cannon, as Panda took it Gorilla Mode, as to which Hanami is superior pretty much every student there, and required Todo & Yuji teaming up / Black Flash to really even take damage, and even then Gojo had to come in and stomp. So then upscaling that it’s easy to see why people like Mei Mei, Naobito, etc should be 8-A. Grade 2’s are case by case, people like Inumaki, Megumi, Panda, Mechamaru, they scale.
This isn’t an outlier either, as the fights Mahito had up to this point where against Nanami, who was Grade 1, and Yuji, his natural enemy, and still held both of them off up to a point.
Black Flash users should have higher, with Black Flash. Haven’t looked to deep in the AP calcs to see if it boosts them. Similarly they should get spatial manipulation & damage boost.
Mahito should have social influencing via manipulating Junpei, and Genius intelligence via his own wiki page: Mahito possesses very high intellectual prowess, especially for a Cursed Spirit. He was accurately able to deduce that Jujutsu Sorcerers were investigating him and was able to set a trap for his pursuers. Mahito can also surmise his opponent's skill level and even their Cursed Technique after just a few exchanges. He was able to accurately do so against Nanami and he was able to realize that Yuji had the ability to see souls thanks to his relationship with Sukuna. Along with Suguru Geto, Mahito often acts as the brains of his faction's operation.
Lastly, he should have either Accelerated Development or Reactive Evolution, being able to learn Domain Expansion seconds before his death and perfectly master it, along with using Black Flash involuntarily, but stating he was incredibly close to using it again of his own will until Todo switched places.
Lastly, people like Hanami, Yuji, & Mahito should have higher durability than their AP, being able to take a Black Flash, especially Hanami, who took like 3.
Again, with the feats shown here (the analytical prowess to understand the nature of an ability within a minute or two of exposure to a few different uses of it, quickly identify someone's skill and power level, and craft some mildly intrincate plans to better deal with stuff on the fly, quickly learning new abilities he knows the gist of and tries to apply), I'd give Mahito a high or very high/gifted score.
