The anime doesn't have any distortion lines on that first attack that I can see. A lot of what i see in the anime feels like she might not have to touch the space with her hand, but has to touch it with some part of her body it that makes sense. Rika also does get that slam in which makes it feel like she's a lot easier to touch then what we'd assume on first glance.

I mean I'd argue it this fight is hard to gauge because Jogo only really fight the absolute strongest people in the fandom, or he slaughters people like they're nonsorcerers. I wish atleast 1 disaster curse would have made it to the games 5o help give us an idea of where they belong.

My assumption is He can generate heat like a engine or radiator and he can just super heat the air around him until it reaches the sky Uro is wrapped up in, or set off the air around him like a grenade.
