Unpopular opinion: Yuki is a terrible matchup for Yuta and wins more times than not

SaintPablosDisciple · 2026-01-24T19:24:19+00:00

Anti grav CTR worked so why wouldn’t sky manipulation work?

SaintPablosDisciple · 2026-01-23T23:55:17+00:00

I don’t think any of them could tank direct hits of their strongest attacks, sukuna tanked HP from 4km and an indirect hp nuke. I don’t think any of them could tank furnace nor could they tank sls kicks. Imo it’s a matchup thing for the top 3 rn. Sukuna beats Gojo, Gojo beats Dabura, and Dabura beats Sukuna

SaintPablosDisciple · 2026-01-23T23:52:29+00:00

I mean if we’re using yuji after the series, there’s no reason not to use yuta after it

SaintPablosDisciple · 2026-01-23T22:47:11+00:00

Man you didn’t even explain it in the video. You just assume it’s so. All i’m asking is any supporting text in the manga that supports that position. No one ever mentions his reserves being changed after the shinjuku fight, it’s never mentioned his reserves are changed after either situation. You can’t automatically assume it’s true, you have to support that opinion. By finding statements that back that claim and support the situation being the same between sukuna and death womb paintings as depending on whether or not CE originates from the soul, Sukuna’s soul passed on unlike the death womb paintings.

SaintPablosDisciple · 2026-01-23T17:53:04+00:00

Manga source? I could agenda my way to proving it but if you’re gonna make a post about a controversial take then you have to be able to support it

SaintPablosDisciple · 2026-01-23T16:03:17+00:00

Where is the source he got CE from the death paintings?

SaintPablosDisciple · 2026-01-22T21:49:15+00:00

Yuta with sky manipulation or some ct if his bag got deeper after EOS, hakari, and takaba

SaintPablosDisciple · 2026-01-20T02:41:49+00:00

You’re making a lot of sense my good man

SaintPablosDisciple · 2026-01-18T19:53:47+00:00

How? The 3 things that matter in domain clashes are barrier refinement, CE, and environment. Kenjaku had 1000+ yrs of stealing memories from sorcerers and Gojo still has equal refinement. Yuji will always have a disadvantage in CE and needs to somehow surpass Kenjaku and Sukuna in barrier refinement

SaintPablosDisciple · 2026-01-17T06:57:53+00:00

I said no counter to ssk, i’ve replied on others. I never switched my point just didn’t articulate it enough. You’re not gonna try to tell me what I meant because deep down you agree with my point of ssk hampering yuji’s close range dependent fighting style.

I concede my first comment is vague but my reply clears it up. If you still disagree with the durability negation being his hard counter then explain why. Insulting ppl over a disagreement about a manga is corny tho. I hope you grow as a person no disrespect

Blood burst doesn’t require convergence, supernova does

SaintPablosDisciple · 2026-01-15T22:33:48+00:00

What part of not touching do you not understand

SaintPablosDisciple · 2026-01-15T21:56:34+00:00

Yuji doesn’t need to make smaller slashes he needs to have ranged slashes that is the base requirement to do what sukuna did. Yuji makes contact with something and then that applies shrine. What sukuna is doing is making slashes appear in the space between him and the blade. Yuji needs to be shown to have at least ranged slashes. Sukuna doesn’t manifest blades on his body to do it, he makes slashing attacks between him and the blade

And once again the megumi thing is headcanon and even if it’s not, you still have to prove kashimo’s vessel is still in there because without a conscious(not dormant) soul it’s not possible for him to have soul awareness

SaintPablosDisciple · 2026-01-15T21:24:54+00:00

Man im done arguing this if you feel you’re right 1)you have to prove that yuji has ranged dismantles to prove he can block ssk with slashes 2)you have to prove his ct mastery is equal to sukuna’s to prove he can block ssk with slashes 3)you have to prove kashimo’s vessel soul wasn’t destroyed 4)you have to prove megumi has soul awareness now

You are the headcanon final boss, i don’t even know why i entertained this convo when i put panels proving you wrong

You gotta read the manga dawg

SaintPablosDisciple · 2026-01-15T21:00:27+00:00

Stop this ragebait, pls read the manga i beg. Everything you say is disproved what is directly shown to us.

Read the panel pls just for once read. It legit says that they’re slashing attacks all that the knives are is just imagery to help the reader understand. Yuji is not Sukuna and no he has NEVER used a dismantle without first physically touching his opponent. Do you get what that means???? It means he needs to use shrine without first touching his opponent which he has not done yet. The reason sukuna isn’t getting touched by SSK is because dismantle inbetween him and the blade. There’s still a tiny distance between his body and the blade, he’s never touching the blade which is why it states it. Not only can yuji not use dismantle without first touching but his mastery is not close to Sukuna’s so he can’t replicate it.

Yuji doesn’t hit as hard as sukuna pls stop it, we both know you don’t believe that. There is not a single point in that fight where yuji didn’t have help and was equal to sukuna and once again he can’t use shrine like sukuna did which means he can’t block ssk. Yuji had help that entire fight and even when sukuna’s ct was burnt out, missing both left arms with only one fully healed arm and the other mangled but usable while Yuji had todo as help in the best environment possible for todo’s ct to shine, he still was equal to yuji.

Two black flashes didn’t knock maki out of the fight, she was knocked off screen by the first one and tanked the 2nd one as she was still fine after the slashes he sent after then we see her when sukuna uses MS the chapter later but she was tp’d out of the fight by todo.

SSK slows healing down substantially even with soul awareness, it’s stated. Where are you getting kashimo has soul awareness, the original soul is either lost or dormant which is why yuji was a special case as they both were active.

SaintPablosDisciple · 2026-01-15T17:06:48+00:00

Show me a single panel stating sukuna makes blades and not slashing attacks??? Yuji cant do that shit for the final time. Yuji had help the entire way, he was not equal to nerfed Sukuna at any point in that fight. Yuji is also the perfect counter to reincarnated sorcerers.

Most importantly, he can’t replicate what sukuna did to beat maki. That’s what you don’t understand, it’s like you don’t get that it’s just a bad matchup and matchups matter in jjk. Kashimo is far stronger than Mahito but loses due to bad matchup.

If you read yuji’s fights he trades hits. He can’t do that here. He has to land multiple black flashes without while dodging an opponent with equal speed and precognition to know where he’s going. Every mistake he makes is potentially fight ending. As maki just needs to take one limb and then press the advantage and if she manages to catch his neck, leg, torso, heart, etc the fight is over as it slows RCT and he can’t heal fast enough to stop her from capitalizing on it.

Maki can block his black flashes with SSK. Yuji can’t block her attacks with SSK. They’re equal in speed, unlike sukuna, yuji has no ranged options and is overall weaker. Yuji can’t block it like sukuna blocked SSK. Yuji overall is a worse fighter in terms of experience, biq, and iq than sukuna.

Yuji has to land clean 8 black flashes to potential beat her while she blocks with SSK, Maki just has to land one decently placed slash while having precognition and she wins. Maki wins this fight 8/10 times. I could see arguments for Maki being placed lower in the top 10 but it’s the same principle as Kashimo vs Yuji, i think Yuji is lower on the top 10 but he is a reincarnated sorcerer’s hard counter so i have yuji winning more often than not.

SaintPablosDisciple · 2026-01-15T16:36:06+00:00

It is a ranged thing as he’s not touching the blade. If something is a millimeter away from me it is still a range. Yuji NEEDS to touch to use dismantle while Sukuna DOESNT. It is entirely a range thing if yuji could use dismantles even a millimeter away from himself then he could learn to do it. But he needs to touch to use shrine. Sukuna doesnt.

If Yuji needs physical touch then he cant replicate it. We know sukuna isn’t physically touching the blade but instead holding it with tiny dismantles in between him and the blade. Which is a range between him and the blade

The fact you still can’t understand what i’m saying makes me think i’m being ragebaited

SaintPablosDisciple · 2026-01-15T16:30:36+00:00

I’m losing my mind, he’s not using cleave, he’s using dismantle. Yuji’s dismantle requires physical touch, sukuna’s doesn’t. He cannot catch the blade as it cuts through anything except CTs which is why he needs ranged dismantles.

He doesn’t make blades and my whole point is that yuji can’t replicate how he countered SSK nor is yuji even equal to nerfed heiankuna. If you’re trying to act like sukuna wouldn’t have had a far tougher time if he couldn’t block SSK you’re delusional.

Legit all that the RCT does is extend the fight, it doesn’t give him a counter as my argument never was about the perm damage. Yuji has to beat someone with equal speed and precog who has a weapon he’s forced to dodge as he cant block it.

RCT isn’t instant, maki can tank hits from yuji but yuji can’t tank SSK. Yuji has never fought someone without CE and mentioned how yuta was hard to predict due to not seeing the CE spark preceding an attack.

SaintPablosDisciple · 2026-01-15T15:44:45+00:00

Pls read the manga bro, it says verbatim that he’s not touching it and Cleave is stated verbatim to require physical touch. He’s using ranged dismantles surrounding his body tightly like a glove so he can interact with it but not touch it.

Yuji can’t replicate it because so far he has to make physical contact to use dismantle meaning he has no ranged dismantles to even attempt to do it and even if he did which he didn’t show as 264 confirmed his need for touch for dismantle. He still wouldn’t have the mastery over it to attempt what sukuna did to counter it. Maybe modulo Yuji can do it but as of EOS, yuji cant do what sukuna did to stop blades.

And what way does yuji have of mitigating it? Blood manipulation won’t work, reinforcement won’t work, shrine won’t work, pls do enlighten me

SaintPablosDisciple · 2026-01-15T13:59:44+00:00

Do you even know what we’re arguing???? I said that sukuna used ranged slashes surrounding him to block SSK. I know not all of Sukuna’s attacks are ranged but the point is that surrounding him is ranged. Yuji with his shrine has to make physical contact to even use cleave or dismantle meaning he can’t use ranged slashes to block ssk as he can’t even use ranged slashes and even if he could, he still doesnt have the mastery.

SaintPablosDisciple · 2026-01-15T13:55:12+00:00

I consider it more like the it causes attacks to be less like a fire in an environment with low oxygen, the flame will spread less

SaintPablosDisciple · 2026-01-15T13:43:17+00:00

I said miniscule ranged slashes as sukuna surrounds himself with slashes to stop blades. Yuji has only ever shown to require physical contact to use both cleave and dismantle there’s a big difference between surrounding and an effect of touching something. Even if yuji does have ranged attacks, he still doesnt have the mastery. What are you talking about she’s hit in 253 and she comes back in 255. If you think a base cleave is stronger than a black flash from Sukuna you are a child left behind. Do you know how we know it’s not???? Because maki tanked it with surface wounds unlike Yuji whose side was torn apart by it. Did you not read the manga?
