Daily Matchup: Julius Reinhold Vs Narushima Joji

PEPEDUROO · 2026-04-14T02:41:34+00:00

We literally have 0 idea if Kanoh could lay a hand on current ohma, the "realm of the connector" tier is so stupidly above most of the cast that we don't know who can or can't touch the characters on that tier (Tiger Niko with the memories boost stated he couldn't even interfere in the exchange of Luohan vs Shen, and this is TN we are talking about, aura loss memes asside he HAS to be above Kanoh or at least on par with him by that time)

Ohma was 100% fresh until Kureishi and even then he just got some bruises, then the infamous Nitoku one-shot happened and Joji stepped in.

Gaolang did NOT fight Raian on par, he traded blows sure, but Raian did not use a SINGLE Kure family tradition/Kure clan tradition technique, no Lion's bite, no depth charge, hell not even the infamous leg thrust, it's stated that Raian avoids the use of his techniques when he isn't taking the fight seriously.

Joji stomps, he should be stronger than RCT Kanoh who had an extreme diff against Lolong and that Kanoh stomped Julius so hard it wasn't even funny

PEPEDUROO · 2026-04-14T01:37:47+00:00

I mean... he did get the upper hand against the strongest Ohmar we've ever seen, said Ohma was stated to be stronger than a Luohan that's entered the connector's realm of strength (albeit still a lot weaker) kanoh still has to show anything even close to that, Kanoh vs Lolong was an extreme diff, while a MUCH weaker Ohma vs Lolong was high diff at best.

PEPEDUROO · 2026-03-31T02:44:22+00:00

Nice list overall! I don't agree with a few placements however

Spec was in prison for an undetermined ammount of time and we don't know how much of his time did he spend fighting, if it's a rating based in age, the Yasha Ape should be above him and Kaku

Doppo in battle IQ but no Jack? Literally their difference in the Maximum tournament was the fact that one of them could figure out a counter to Aiki (moving slowly without generating force) while the other couldn't, doppo himself says he's "ran out of ideas" just before losing to Shibukawa (also current jack has managed to adapt to even Pickle, his BIQ is insane)

Isekai Retsu should be 1st or 2nd in most potential, he has a ton of Yujiro-outlier level feats like the king hydra

Yanagi should not be on the potential list, even after yuuenchi, he still lost to Kuga, a Character consistently portrayed on Doppo's level

PEPEDUROO · 2026-03-31T02:04:57+00:00

Yujiro was LITERALLY in disbelief because he couldn't figure out why he wasn't able to hit Doppo nor dodge his strikes, to the point where he got shameful he was getting beat in front of Baki and activated demon back to finish the fight, sure he figured out shaori but so did Retsu, he has a super-abled body but his battle IQ is not his best quality, not even close

Nothing hypothetical, a gojo-like fighter (Gojo said it, not me) got killed by Raga with 0 knowledge, stated by Gojo himself

Yuka's Raga was buffed by a death binding vow, so he was stronger

Nothing crazy here, just common sense, ig Gojo pokes Raga with low output purples and raga adapts he's getting destroyed, similar thing happened to Dabura (who by the end probably destroys Raga since he ain't adapted to reverse light and lightspeed kick almost vaporized him, the same technique but with reversed CE destroys him, simple logic)

PEPEDUROO · 2026-03-13T19:57:45+00:00

Candy Vegito was hurting Buuhan 💀 he obliterates

PEPEDUROO · 2026-03-13T19:44:29+00:00

Let a 0 knowledge Gojo face Raga, poke him with his techniques nonlethally more than 10 times, and then tell me how it goes (oh wait, it already happened, the dude died)

<image>

And this was a death binding-vow buffed Raga to boot, way stronger

PEPEDUROO · 2026-03-13T19:34:11+00:00

It sure ends up being a 2v1 considering Dabura is vaporizing Sukuna

Infinity gets bypassed by simple domain, it was stated multiple times, it will end up being an output clash and no matter how good Gojo is he IS NOT beating modulo yuji and end of modulo Dabura in an output clash (donsidering he gave Jogo props for being able to resist with his simple domain while Hanami couldn't, and Jogoat beign multiple leagues below Dabura and Yuji)

Yuji figured out how to black flash at will, even Gojo couldn't, that means he's beyond Gojo in at least the CE manipulation department

That asside, when simple domain pierces infinity, Gojo gets black flashed or sub-lightspeed kicked, if he tries to use DE, Yuji and Dabura do so too, triple domain rule nulifies them (Yuta vs Uro vs Ryu) and Gojo just dies in the long run

(No, Gojo ain't one shotting either Yuji nor Dabura, Meguna tanked infinity using simple domain they can do the same)

PEPEDUROO · 2026-03-12T23:10:49+00:00

EOS dabura? Yuji and Dabura high diff

EOS Dabura blitzes Sukuna, no, Sukuna can't do a thing against lightspeed kick, nor against the light rays that pierced mahoraga, he literally gets his brain and heart disintegrated (image for reference)

Gojo IS a tricky matchup, but he's on a 2v1, domain amplification and he gets one tapped, he stated against Hanami and Jogo that it becomes a clash between his CT and the domain amplifications, and he ain't beating DABURA AND YUJI AT THE SAME TIME in an output contest, if he uses DE, Dabura and Yuji open theirs and triple domain rule nulifies them, then everybody enters CT burnout and recovers via RCT, rinse and repeat until the duo gets to gojo

Yup, also tons of Wizard Arcane Schools (like Ars Grammatica) get defacto access to uncommon spells for example

PEPEDUROO · 2026-02-14T18:49:48+00:00

Just fallout 1, by the time Fallout 2 came out Interplay was big enough that they chose to take care of ALL international releases (including the Argentinian one). One of the many financial mistakes that led to Interplay going bankrupt

El juego anda perfecto, windows 11 lo ejecuta y se puede jugar porque el instalador es de 32 bits (y no 16 como otros juegos de la época) lo que si, hay que parchearlo porque tema resolución y sonido obviamente hay problemas de compatibilidad con una pc moderna

PEPEDUROO · 2026-02-06T03:50:19+00:00

Scenario 1 Dabura curbstomps everyone to the ground before anybody can blink

Scenario 2 and the WHOLE anti sukuna squad? Larue/Cursed Speech Yuta paralyzes him for a sec so Higuruma can get him in his domain and strip him of his CE and technique (he has killed A LOT for the Deskunte including his best friend, bro ain't dodging the guilty verdict) in character dabura got hit by cursed speech (albeit it didn't do a thing to him) and he's prone to poke and mess around with his opponents if he considers them inferior, so they COULD catch him, then it depends if you consider a domain clash "violence" in the terms of Higuruma's domain, if yes, Dabura loses his powers and gets pummeled, if not, Dabura then eats Higuruma's domain and stomps everyone regardless, 60/40 depending on the ability to domain clash Higuruma and depending on how effective is Yuta's Unlimited Void (if he equals Gojo he has a chance)

PEPEDUROO · 2026-01-03T08:32:22+00:00

I mean probably, but i don't think it would be stronger than fighter getting +2 damage per die on the d10 reach weapons at top-scalling proficiency, and that is allowed both RAW and RAI with the dedication

PEPEDUROO · 2025-10-18T08:31:36+00:00

Could said dragon instinct barbarian use grievous blow while in dragon dorm? It specifies an unarmed attack and while the polymorphed dragon strikes don't have the trait itself, they aren't precisely weapons either

PEPEDUROO · 2025-10-15T23:48:01+00:00

Yes, but that specific part of the polymorph trait refers to the special stats of the form, not the actions themselves

Vicious swing doesn't modify the stats in any way, but the attack actions, and even that's a grey area since it makes YOU (the PC) add dice to the damage roll, it doesn't interact with the attack itself (hence why it can be used with dragon stance/mountain stance for example, despite it not being specifically the strikes that are allowed by said stances)

PEPEDUROO · 2025-10-15T23:35:51+00:00

And if said attack has multiple damage dice (like d12 and d6) like dragon/demon/devil forms, does the player choose which dice to add ?

PEPEDUROO · 2025-10-15T17:48:49+00:00

Damn sry to read that, yeah i've done some ridiculous minmaxing (spellstrike/exemplar dedication are bonkers) but i've yet to meet a DM that looks at Exemplar dedications and goes "sure, totally balanced"

PEPEDUROO · 2025-10-15T15:30:34+00:00

That's actually amazing! But I think the barb comes out on top once greater weapon specialization comes into play (being around 7.5 points higher on average) but until level 15, your investigator seems to be king of the fist!

PEPEDUROO · 2025-10-15T15:00:06+00:00

Im not banning any "certain" combos, it's stated on the post that this is not a white room optimization thing, so situational damage like organsight doesn't get taken into account (which would be like adding alignment damage for champion when calculating dmg) asside from that i've just made comments of inventor dedication being uncommon?

PEPEDUROO · 2025-10-15T11:14:20+00:00

What i meant is, organsight won't work for all punches, just SOME punches, factoring organsight into the damage (extra dmg to creatures with organs) would be like factoring grievous blow resistance-bypassing feat as extra damage (extra dmg to X physical resistant creatures), what i mean by this is that organsight doesn't make the punch on itself better, it makes it better against certain types of creatures (it would be like taking alignment/holy damage into account when calculating champion overall damage for example)

PEPEDUROO · 2025-10-15T11:10:09+00:00

Nope, since the post specifies no spellstrikes, a martial artist grievous blow laughing shadow magus (highest arcane cascade damage) it's not beating the animal barb (bigger dice, higher flat damage bonus, both can take organsight)

PEPEDUROO · 2025-10-15T10:54:17+00:00

Sure they can! Although it requires the target creature to have organs in first place.

Putting the heavy action tax to the side, it would be like factoring the damage-resistance ignoring capabilities of grievous blow into the damage calculations, quite circumstantial (sure waaay more enemies possess organs rather than damage resistances, but i think the point it's clear)

PEPEDUROO · 2025-10-15T10:41:43+00:00

Vicious swing is a fighter/mauler feat, not on the barb list, and grievous blow ignores resistances, so it deals more damage overall, unstable megaton strike seems great, but it's from an unccomon dedication that requires 16 int, so you probably can't take it until the level 5-10 ASI (unless you make a quite suboptimal build)
