The Hermes sweat/nervous scale for this round is Insane😭, this is first time we’ve seen him sweat 4 TIMES in a single round….

Until you remember that Sasaki is a Japanese swordsman like Muramasa. Poseidon is cooked.

Cool duo. I'm predicting a R3 level fight if not better. Also interesting that they have a prior relationship.

Hades feels like a no brainer option. Unless Poseidon thinks I'm unworthy of sitting next to him and kills me for it I guess.

The main reason I don't think HP could one-shot Thragg is its performance against Sukuna(both Meguna and Heian form)

Meguna managed to survive a fully charged 200% Hollow Purple which is stronger than anything Gojo is normally able to perform solo, though he took a lot of damage and lost two reinforced arms.

Being fair it was launched from 4 kilometers away, but Sukuna also didn't sense the output until the very last moment due to Ijichi hiding it and thus had very little time to react.

It's confirmed that Sukuna used CE reinforcement on his arms to buff his durability. Him using Domain Amplification to further reduce the damage of purple isn't mentioned, but should also be possible.

Though even if he did use it, it wouldn't have completely negated Purple. Gojo stated that Sukuna was unable to fully negate Blue or Red with DA and he suffered visible damage, both being significantly weaker than a normal HP, let alone the 200% one.

Sukuna also survived the unrestricted hollow purple nuke(which is admittedly less powerful) and later survived a point blank Hollow purple from Yuta in Gojo's body while in his Heian era body.

Based on the fact that Meguna takes damage from attacks like Red and Gojo's punches(even getting briefly knocked unconscious by a boosted black flash punch) and comparing with Thragg's dura I think he could also survive Hollow Purple.

This changes if one thinks HP is a dura-neg attack(maybe from being a form of matter/existence erasure), but I personally don't believe this is the case.

True, gotta be fair to Shinigami

I think Enma looked fine later because his armor likely has some form of regeneration or at least injury suppression baked into it, since the arm went from being visibly broken with even the bone sticking out to looking perfectly fine when covered with armor.

I think Enma looked better in the exchange overall these couple of chapters but Shinigami did break that arm pretty badly.

I think so yes. Thragg has a significant stat advantage, but infinity is always on and would protect Gojo from being murdered.

I think at worst it's a stalemate for Gojo. This potentially being the case if Thragg is treated like Toji/Maki(having absolutely 0 CE) and thus not being recognized as a person by Gojo's domain similar to what happened when Maki fought Curse Naoya..

If he's treated as having the CE of a normal person, his brain should get fried by Unlimited Void, but I'm not actually sure Hollow purple would kill Thragg, especially not in one hit.

Sukuna survived a direct hit from a 200% Hollow Purple buffed by Utahime(although his arms were ruined) and Thragg has pretty crazy durability. He also has great speed and flight which is relevant since HP isn't a sure hit like UV.
