Ryu got hit with a dismantle from the same finger level Sukuna
Who was all casual and chilling? He even says he was planning to slice him into three pieces, the exact same line he used against the finger bearer on a casual play.
ははっ 何だお前
三枚に卸す つもりだったが なかなかやるな
"Haha, nice. What’s up with you? I was planning to slice you into three pieces, but you’re actually quite good, aren’t you?"
すまんすまん 見縊っていた 次は本気で やってやる
"Sorry, sorry. I was just testing you. Next time, I’ll hit you for real"
Quote on quote he thought Ryu was bad, trash. As he used the same power as he did against the finger bearer who got chopped into pieces of meat, and was impressed to see that Ryu got away with just a injury like that, albeit from one slash only.
Also, you do realize that the slash is different, right? The one used against Mahoraga, vs the one used against Ryu. The latter is completely casual whereas the former isn't the same.
Throws couple of punches in, stunning him.
Then throws in A DISMANTLE that isn't thrown under the same circumstances as the one used against Ryu. (Statement), additionally there are three slashes here. Against Ryu there is just one.
Proceeds to counter the next incoming big slash.
And then he survives the cleave.
Unlike the dude who got one tap casually blitzed killed.
And following your idea of CE level equating to fingers (which isn't the best train of logic since Sukuna even at one finger could walk all over a curse who was at One Finger, and the Finger Bearer that Megumi fought after was stronger than the one beforehand showing how the fingers individual strength is growing as time goes on as said within the series)
? Bro, the finger bearer could have another finger all it wants, it'll still be trash. Yall think just because a FB has a finger then now it is peak. No bro, that's not how it works. It gives output sure, but that's not equivalent to ce control. 1F Sukuna is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> any FB based on ce control, which translates to far greater output.
That growth you're speaking of could be attributed to just the finger bearer itself having greater ce control too though, so that's not really a good argument, since Megumi never said the finger itself had grown. We're also told in the series that due to the seals weakening the fingers get stronger. Additionally, fingers tend to have different levels of presences. weak, strong, etc. (hiding or showing off more immense pressure)
Yuta isn't told to jump in till Sukuna is at half which would be 10F,
He's never told anything here though? What are you talking about?
Also, more than half. Because Sukuna got more than double ce reserves of that of Yuta, and now he matches Yuta. So 9F really. Not to mention the bunch of nerfs heavily weakening Sukuna to levels far below that.
and Sukuna puts himself at Yuta's level when they start fighting which has Yuta able to damage this same Sukuna with his hits, even tearing off limbs and such.
At his LEVEL in ce reserves. "Has able to damage or tear off limbs" Mainly with sword yes. That's whilst ignoring the fact that he has to put his output in for HWB, making two of his arms unavailable, whilst he's getting jumped by Yuta, Yuji and Rika, with Sukuna's abilities weakened by the domain itself, with a possible debuff ontop of that on his stats (Read Miguel's CT explanation and how it is compared to a domain), whilst Yuta himself is domain amped. Additionally that Sukuna has been having his output dwindling down from Yuji's hit, by the time Yuta reached him, and some more inside the domain.
No idea as to how you think they still scale, notwithstanding the fact that he (Sukuna) was still holding back in that situation.
To say these characters are below 3f is crazy
Maki and Toji could be 3F if we go by the 3F Meta, (stats wise) I even said that.
Don't see that much for the others like Hakari and Yuta. Stats wise I don't see that for them really.
no where does it say he's at 10F level though
We are told that Sukuna's ce reserves less than half.
I don't agree with reserves deciding output solely,
I mean, that just brings me to lay out this question:
Do you think each finger Sukuna consumes gives him more increased ce control
Or do you think it only gives him more ce reserves?
If you think it is the latter, then Sukuna having less than half of his reserves means the amount of output he could put, is less than 10F at his best without any nerf (Obviously Sukuna is nerfed there but you get what I mean)
