Fair enough.
Yeah I agree with you here.
Though isn't this kinda makes
Also when comes to speed it would be like if we go with the interpretation.
In terms of raw strength, Yuta doesn't need to be equal to Gojo to be strong enough to beat him. Being relative would be enough. So even iuf he was weaker, as long as it's not by a substantial amount, he'd be capable of winning. Granted he has the abilities, speed, and skill to keep up.
I would like to note that Geto stated there chances increase to 99% if HE has Rika. So it's possible he believes he could utilize Rika FAR better than Yuta can since he's an inexperienced kid.
And as far as JJK 0 goes, yeah, I think it's fine to assume Geto isn't super far behind Gojo
physically. Gojo just has a
WAY WAY WAY better Cursed Technique that would be effective even against opponents much stronger than himself. After all, Miguel took attacks from Gojo who was in a rush to get back to school and could somewhat keep up with his speed. So I think it's fine for Yuta and Geto to be comparable to Gojo yet the latter would get stomped due to Limitless techniques being op thus making Gojo "the strongest". I never believed "The Strongest" was in reference to physical strength since Geto only claimed Gojo was the strongest AFTER he improved his use of his techniques implying he's the strongest because of his techniques.
In fact, if Gojo was so much faster, he would've been able to blitz him and his family when they invaded the school before he could summon his Curses to threaten the students. Hell, he'd be able to kill the curses and Geto if he was so ridiculously above Geto that he couldn't compete with his speed at all. I mean, they used to co-exist as the strongest, and Geto stated he wanted to fight Teenage Gojo, so him being comparable physically imo shouldn't be out of the question.
So you could have it like Geto < Yuta & Rika < Full Power Max Uzumaki (Had his forces not been divided) ~< Gojo
Or Geto < Gojo ~ Rika < Full Power Max Uzumaki (Had his forces not been divided)
The idea is that they're relative. Whether you want to depict them as physically stronger/faster or downscaling is up to you. But both imo should at least scale relative to Volume 0 Gojo. Otherwise half of Volume 0 makes zero sense (Geto stating he has a 99% chance of victory, Gojo saying he'd throw his life away to stop Rika if she rampaged, wouldn't have been fast enough to save his students once Geto summoned his Cursed Spirits as a scapegoat).
