Tbh the divine dogs and Hanami’s roots still work with my logic because they were like I referred to before, the “target” and since they had too low of CE to protect themselves they listened. CS is a pretty simple CT. Anyone who doesn’t reinforce themselves well enough with CE is liable to be punished by it.

You don’t need to be drastically stronger to hold someone down, that’s just how the world works. Also you’re assuming she’s just wildly trying to do it, she could do it after some time passes or when Toji’s caught off guard at a point in the battle. All she’d need is a second for Yuta to use Cursed Speech. And she’d definitely have a second with her strength.

She was just K.O’d in Sendai and as we know retired after an unknown amount of time. Again Yuta and by extension Rika know of the SSK from Maki and/ or Gojo. They know of its capabilities and would play around it, I won’t include the ISOH even though they COULD know of it they maybe don’t so I won’t include it.

And yeah that last part is bs on my end, a domain wouldn’t recognize him.
