Secondly... Holding back? Lol. Let it go. Narrator literally tells you he couldn't use Fire arrow IN ANY circumstance whatsoever. Even in the second domain battle and first, and this is despite the fact that
1. Fire arrow is strengthened by a BV. Can't be used against multiple opponents outside of a DE, except for a 1v1, which boosts it.
2. Said Fire Arrow also achieves a environment boost too as usual with any CT. Additionally it gets further strengthened when using DE. And requires extra conditions before being able to use it likely implying another BV, which is the process leading to unleashing it in an AOE strike all over inside the DE.
However in both the first and second, the narrator says that it had insufficient fire power despite the fact that Gojo had no infinity on after losing the first and second DE battle, alongside the multiple debuffs like CT burnout nerf, constantly suffering wounds all over his body nonstop, and using rct full output simultaneously as he is reinforcing himself + he has no domain stats buff.
["In his battle against Satoru Gojo, [Sukuna] kept stacking up newer barrier technique conditions……and continued to place Vows on his effective range……which resulted in him unable to display Kamino at sufficient firepower, and thus sealed it.”]
Also can you stop with this fanfiction writing about him not going for the kill despite his various statements saying he literally is and has been doing so? Yall need to let go of that fanfiction dream
He has been trying to kill gojo from the very start. Pretending otherwise is disingenuous.
Maybe you should be asking yourself why Sukuna said at chapter 236, in raws, that bypassing infinity at last and killing gojo is a herculean task aka impossible?
THE EXPRESSION USED IN THE ORIGINAL IS: (Page 16 in CH236)
"至難の技".
Which means an unfathomable task that cannot be accomplished, like Hercules' feats, for Sukuna to bypass infinity by himself is impossible, so Makora, his adaptation, was taken.
This was said in chapter 236 by Sukuna when talking about bypassing infinity
Here’s proof of the phrase being referred to a Herculean task
