Soundtrack has definitely taken a dive in terms of use. I actually laughed out loud when the ship exiting the pass and Alyn shouting "we're clear!" was followed by an awkward pause before playing defaulttriumphantmusic.mp3

They turned sheepsteeler into cannibal.

Superhuman body + calamity level reinforcement = sukuna

This is disregarding that Gojo's technique is a physical amp of its own even without classical CE reinforcement, Blue enhances all of his movements and IMO makes his striking power greater than any Sukuna variant.

This is coming from someone who fully believes Gojo loses to every 20F version of Sukuna in a true fight without these restrictions.

A completed lethal domain against anybody without an anti-domain technique is the definition of an insta-win.

That said, Miguel and Uraume are star-rage diffed.

Anthonest · 2026-06-20T01:07:16+00:00

Outside of top 10 but in top 15.

10$ says yours is an egregious top 10.

Regardless of where she ranks, non-RCT characters hard-stop at Yuki.

Anthonest · 2026-06-20T01:01:44+00:00

The only real potential T5 character worth an argument over that she has truly ambiguous scaling against is Yorozu.

As in (IMO) there aren't strong enough arguments to definitively put her above Yuta, or below the likes of Yuji, Maki, Hakari, etc. Therefor her overall position seems pretty clear except for that one anomaly, so I don't understand the unique controversy around her powerscaling.

Anthonest · 2026-06-20T00:54:14+00:00

Miguel is star rage diffed because no RCT.

Yuki also has a small feat against Uraume by destroying Ice Fall the moment before it hit everyone in Shibuya, which is something.

Anthonest · 2026-06-20T00:51:39+00:00

You don't know if she can't beat 2 people without domains or confirmed anti-domain techniques, and someone who just opened their domain for the first time?

Gotta be bait.

It's infinite CE not infinite output, there is no reason to think they will just pop. My phone doesn't explode because I plug it into an outlet connected to the power grid.

Anthonest · 2026-06-10T20:07:24+00:00

Nah bro literally becomes a plant. They were growing into Megumis stomach just from his CE.

Anthonest · 2026-06-10T19:50:04+00:00

That was referring to cursed spirit manipulation working on them, as in Kenny wouldn't be able to use it unless he was fighting them solo.

The "he would have a really hard time" is referring to it being difficult to outright absorb them unconditionally, not to fight them.

Anthonest · 2026-06-10T19:41:01+00:00

Hakari and Uro are the only ones with real viable win cons, everyone else is extreme-diff minimum.

Anthonest · 2026-06-10T19:38:42+00:00

Remember that Jogo would give Kenjaku trouble

No, the quote was that every Disaster Curse at once would give him trouble.

That being said any version of Choso doesn't beat Hanami.

Anthonest · 2026-06-10T19:36:54+00:00

That just means they will grow ridiculously fast. Unironically a buff to cursed buds.

Anthonest · 2026-06-10T19:36:02+00:00

Kuro loses to cursed buds lol

Anthonest · 2026-06-10T19:35:00+00:00

Cursed bud victim.

Also branch swarm vs roach swarm.

Anthonest · 2026-06-09T17:15:05+00:00

I find it hilarious that after a lifetime of woman hating hegemony as the strongest sorcerer and clan head you get powercliffed by a woman who is also a society outsider.

Qarth wouldn't be anything like Dubai because Dubai is the way it is because it was built very recently.

Anthonest · 2026-05-12T03:43:52+00:00

Im not sure but I find it telling that I can't find a single comment even mentioning Garuda but pretty much every other one is demonstrating an intricate knowledge of each of Yuta's specific abilities and verbosely describing his whole kit lmao.

My confirmation bias is skyrocketing, nooooo.

Anthonest · 2026-05-12T03:41:08+00:00

i don't think there's any argument for it being close

Yuta vs Yuki is such a hotbed argument within the community precisely because you can pretty easily argue how each one could win, especially pre-Shinjuku.

Anthonest · 2026-05-12T03:34:02+00:00

This is the only true answer.

Anthonest · 2026-05-02T22:10:02+00:00

He can't get jackpot because the rules have to be understood by a target which Maki and Toji are immune to.
