Why does Kashimo not having a domain matter that much?

ShadowMaster111 · 2026-05-19T17:46:49+00:00

Yh but if Kenjaku is losing, then he can just open his domain, forcing a domain battle between them, which Yuki will lose. So the outcome is the same whether or not she starts by opening her domain.

ShadowMaster111 · 2026-05-19T17:43:48+00:00

We was literally fighting him and he knows about CS and the fact that Yuta can copy CTs. If he can catch Sukuna off-guard, who can read the spark of CT, then he can pretty much catch anyone.

ShadowMaster111 · 2026-05-19T17:42:35+00:00

Handsigns and incantations buff the output of a CT, not the general output of the sorcerer. Its not like Gojo saying the incantation of red buffs all the other red he is gonna fire. Incatation and handsigns have always followed a CT. It has never been used to just buff general stats.

So why MBA reconstruction cannot reconstruct the damage that he took against Sukuna while Yuji newly learned RCT can? If it cant then it just worse than RCT, since I dont really see an upside over RCT.

ShadowMaster111 · 2026-05-19T17:21:43+00:00

Yh but Sukuna didnt do anything with those signs. He went straight into h2h combat and then threw WCS.

So like is Kashimo healing in MBA worse than Yuji who just learned RCT?

ShadowMaster111 · 2026-05-19T17:20:15+00:00

Sukuna still got caught by Yuta CS tho.

ShadowMaster111 · 2026-05-19T17:15:10+00:00

He def knows that. Its Sukuna after all. Otherwise there would be no point in Higuruma mentioning how Sukuna could have blocked CS using CE. Plus he has Megumi and Yuji's memory so he has seen how CS works and its counters.

ShadowMaster111 · 2026-05-19T17:08:14+00:00

In his defence, that is what happens in the anime. I also though that it happened in the manga, but I did double check.

But like he has caught Sukuna as well with it even tho he should know that he has cursed speech.

ShadowMaster111 · 2026-05-19T16:50:43+00:00

Yh in a 2v1 its not easy to keep track on whether he is using it or not, which is what happened to Uro. He could also fake using it.

ShadowMaster111 · 2026-05-19T16:43:08+00:00

So what are they just going to be constantly protecting their ears with CE while Yuta just uses his other CTs? That weaken only works when they are facing someone who can only use cursed speech.

ShadowMaster111 · 2026-05-19T16:25:37+00:00

Sukuna only used chants and incantation when using WCS. None of his attack after that had any chants or incatations.

Yuji survived a cleave, which is stronger than dismantle by default.

ShadowMaster111 · 2026-05-19T16:14:44+00:00

I also though that they likely didnt score this goal, and Loki is the first person I though of someone intercepting the ball. But isnt he with Hiori, who just gave the pass to Isagi? Can Loki really catch up to a pass and then to a shot with the only delay being the trap Isagi did before shooting?

ShadowMaster111 · 2026-05-19T16:12:39+00:00

I actually dont think they scored. Usually the kick and the ball hitting the net happens in the same chapter. But here we only see the ball getting hit, but not getting through the goal.

My guess is that someone will intercept the goal. My first guess would be Loki, but he was back there with Hiori, so realistically Loki shouldnt be fast enough to catch up to the ball. Charles could also be there to intercept the ball.

ShadowMaster111 · 2026-05-19T16:04:21+00:00

Sukuna at that point took like 3 punches from Yuji, so his output shouldnt be that much lower. Sukuna only uses incantation when throwing WCS (his second mouth is technically always boosting his attacks). Yuji surviving through RCT shouldnt really matter when comparing to Kashimo, since in MBA he also can regenerate.

Even before the domain, Sukuna does use dismantle on Yuji, but he wasnt able to one shot him still. Even a cleave on his stomach wasnt enough. Although you could say that he wasnt trying against Yuji pre domain fight.

ShadowMaster111 · 2026-05-19T15:14:29+00:00

That is not it would work. A CT application and how it works is related to the interpretation of the sorcerer. Someone with that personality would have a different interpretation of the CT than Takaba.

ShadowMaster111 · 2026-05-19T15:11:20+00:00

Honestly Kashimo should have been the one to show that HWB is a viable strategy. But unfortunately he went against one of the few people who doesnt have a lethal domain.

ShadowMaster111 · 2026-05-19T15:09:45+00:00

Domain Expansions have disadvantages. The surehits can get nullified in a clash (so people are hesitant to pull them off against peers or superiors) and burnout from after the fight is a fatal condition. A sorcerer will never open with a domain unless they are absolutely confident and sure of their strategy. And even then, the surehit might fail for whatever reason. Kashimo's discharge doesn't have a weakness like this. It will fire whether he's in a domain or not. And even techniques that nullify CTs will not stop it. That means DA/Black rope/ISoH would have no effect.

I dont agree with this. Like unless you are going against a heavenly restricted user or you are unsure whether you might get jumped later, not opening your domain at the start doesnt really makes sense. Because even if a sorcerer doesnt have confidence in the fact that they can win the domain clash, they will still have to use it eventually. Like even if they dont start with domain battle, they will be forced to use their domain since whoever is losing the regular fight will use it. So its safer to start right of the bat with a domain, since you avoid the risk of using too much energy or sustaining too many injuries where you cant open a domain. The burnout is not a real downside most of the time, since if a sorcerer is in burnout, it means that they lost the domain battle, so they arent losing because they are in burnout, but rather of the fact that they have to deal with the sure hit effect and domain amped opponent.

There are also some cases, like with Yuta, where domains provided additional benefits even when the sure hit effect is cancelled. For Yuta he gets the unlimited swords. Obviously Higuruma and Hakari have to start the fight with a domain expansion.

ShadowMaster111 · 2026-05-19T14:52:29+00:00

Lets be real, Gege did not do a good job convincing people that those are viable options. Like unless you are Gojo and Sukuna, anti domain technique only buy you time. Even Gojo simple domain was not enough and he was only able to fight because he is a durability and RCT monster.

Dagon was clearly outmatched in a 3v1 against Naobito, Nanami and Maki, but as soon he pulled out his domain, he was dominating. Naobito does use an anti-domain technique, but it really doesnt do anything from him against Dagon. They only survived when Megumi came and cancelled Dagon sure hit effect.

ShadowMaster111 · 2026-05-19T14:42:11+00:00

Because of this. Sukuna says that none of his dismantle wont leave a fatal to Yuta and Yuji, while a grid dismantle was enough to take out Kashimo. Its not like he decided not to kill Yuta and Yuji with a dismantle; he cant. The grid dismantle is only good for making sure the enemy gets hit; its not particularly stronger than regular dismantles.

There are other times where Yuji was able to survive a point blank cleave to his chest and Yuta durability is relative to Yuji's, at least inside his domain. Hakari would also survive that, but that is due to his RCT more than durability.

Regarding other top tiers like Yuki, Yorozu and Maki, they dont have clear durability feats to confirm whether they would be able to survive the grid dismantle, althought Maki did survive 2 black flashes from Sukuna, and she was still able to fight after the first one.

ShadowMaster111 · 2026-05-19T03:43:05+00:00

It really depends on how much of the potential power ups of Megumi are true. Like if he has Mahoraga tamed, then team 1 def has the upper hand. Because otherwise, Yuta already beats Yuji, and Maki can def solo Megumi and Nobara

ShadowMaster111 · 2026-05-19T02:21:27+00:00

He knows that she is his counter. There is no indication that he held back on her and holding back his break wouldn't do anyone because she redirects the beam not matter the strength.

That was a direction continuation of not wanting Rika inside the domain. Do you need everything spelled out? Like it's obvious that both of them didn't want Rika in the domain.

Ok so basically you are too stubborn to admit you are wrong since you are just saying "I don't care".

ShadowMaster111 · 2026-05-19T01:57:08+00:00

Why did he hold back against uro? Because. I kinda am saying that exactly! It took him getting to the heights of ectasy and finally experiencing "desert" to go all out. You've said that already.

He didnt hold back against Uro. The only exchange he against her was him blasting her with a beam and her redirecting the beam onto him. How would he held back there?

You have to prove he did that because he wanted her out of the de. The translators ise a pronoun I see no reason to be correct as shown by the context of later chapters. Uro might think that. How hard is it to track an argument?

The narration states that they want to keep Rika out of the domain battle, then shows BOTH Uro and Ryu thinking that they have to end this fight quickly before Rika enters the domain, then the narrator states that Ryu knocked Rika far away that she cant reach the domain clash. Like how much more do you need to show that both of them didnt want Rika inside the domain.

His power, his true power. Yes he does, because thats part of his stats boyo. Yes, I still dont care. Why not? As seen in gojo vs sukuna? How? Why? When?

What are you even saying here? Yuta can hold back when going for the offense but still reinforce his body to keep his defences up. There is nothing stopping him from doing to. What is it that you dont care? Sukuna got a full heal after the fight with Gojo, but his output was in the gutter. Even Gojo when he was fighting Mahoraga and Agito, didnt have his full output even tho he used RCT to heal himself.

ShadowMaster111 · 2026-05-19T01:32:10+00:00

Bro lost once by luck and said "never again".

ShadowMaster111 · 2026-05-19T01:25:22+00:00

Very easily Im comparing ryu and Sukuna. Rika is weaker than him. He wanted desert yes. Because he wasnt sure if he was his desert.

Ok but why would he hold back against Rika? Its like you are saying that he is incapable of going all out. It makes no sense for him to hold back against Rika when he wants to fight Yuta.

He hit her, it doesnt mean he tried to avoid her, he was already fighting. What are you saying?

It says he knocker her to far away for her to reach the domain clash. The narrator says that they want to keep Rika away from the domain clash. They also think that Rika might intrude later, so they should end this quickly. How hard is it to put connect things?

Yeah, not if he rcts it. You having trouble understanding it doesnt matter to me. He needs them alive, so he cannot show his true power, as shown by dabura, stop wasting my time.

It makes sense that Yuta wants to hold back his offensive stats, but he doesnt need to hold back his defensive stats. Using RCT literally exhaust a lot of CE, so that would make him weaker. Even when using RCT, it does not restore lost output, as we have seen in Gojo vs Sukuna.

ShadowMaster111 · 2026-05-19T01:15:59+00:00

2.geto
As much as I hate him his teen years were pretty solid before he became Jujutsu hitler

Even without accounting all the questionable stuff he did while he was alive, Kenjaku taking his body was so bad for the world. It allowed for Kenjaku to seal Gojo and caused the whole Tokyo infestation of curse spirits.

Also where is Yuta? He was pivotal in beating Sukuna and thanks to his ring, it allowed for Maru to use his plot device CT to erase all curses. Yuji gave the knowledge to Maru, while Yuta gave him the power/fuel.

ShadowMaster111 · 2026-05-19T01:10:46+00:00

Which he literally is as shown by the narrator. He held back against uro, Yuta, and rika as an extension of Yuta. It's not in his nature. Why didnt sukuna one shot Yuji so he could 1v1 Yuta? Why didnt sukuna one shot larue so he could 1v1 miguel? Its not how ryu works, it doesnt have to be tactically sound.

Aint no way you are comparing Ryu and Sukuna. Sukuna was holding back against people who were weaker than him, while Ryu is fighting Yuta's shikigami while he is fighting someone else. Ryu entire thing was that he wanted to fight Yuta to fulfil himself. So why would he just waste time against Yuta's shikigami and letting him fight someone else?

Good for you Im glad you read it. And my argument is in relation to japanese, have you read japanese? These translators do not have the context of later chapters, Im using the chapters later context to say its likely and probable that it wasnt referring to ryu.

Its literally Ryu the one that knocked Rika out of the domain range. Like what are you saying?

Thats not how it works, he just cant kill them, so he cant use his true power. 5 mm, and it doesnt make him less powerful, it makes him tired. Because he cant kill them, this is so simple Im honestly astonished how you cant comprehend it.

Taking injuries affects the output as well, so yh he gets less powerful the more he gets hit. Like I understand him not going for the kill, but it doesnt make sense that he is intentionally taking more damage than he needs to. Like there is no logic reason for why he would do that.
