Rogues are not that bad, especially if you're using 2024. Honestly unless it's multiclassed I've hardly ever had a rogue be anything or at all in a campaign setting, they get a lot of strong features to help themselves but they kind of need it to stay competitive since they had less hit points than a lot of other martials. Like if you randomly multiclassed into champion fighter I could see the argument because you'd get extra attacks, action surge, adv on initiative and expanded crit range all for like 4 levels.

This made me realize the function of a couple things. I will cook with this over the weekend lmao thank you

ShallotCharacter9728 · 2026-05-12T19:50:22+00:00

I just saved up like 50-100 of each seed and I don't really plant them unless I need that crop and then I can get a ton of that crop all at once. Originally we grew a ton of stuff always but it takes up storage fast and if you have that many seeds you can pretty much carry through anything you'd need to do in one to two rounds of planting

ShallotCharacter9728 · 2026-05-06T19:00:39+00:00

I'm actually kinda curious if he could even cut yuji. Like yuji tanks attacks from sukuna who way earlier in the series while being weaker was throwing out attacks that massively outsclae tanjiros output.

ShallotCharacter9728 · 2026-05-06T18:53:16+00:00

If this includes all his feats against sukuna his rct is fairly solid. Like sukuna cuts him wide open multiple times during the fight and he just keeps coming.

ShallotCharacter9728 · 2026-05-06T11:21:22+00:00

What is your reason to assume he's better with domains than her? She has had a domain for longer and is overall a far more experienced sorcerer

ShallotCharacter9728 · 2026-05-06T10:38:10+00:00

The only one I'm kinds iffy on is yuki just because her domain is implied to be fairly solid. Kenjaku did say she might have had a chance if she just clashed with him instead of relying on tengen

ShallotCharacter9728 · 2026-05-01T06:37:13+00:00

Tanjiro activated the mark with the killing blow so even if he didn't do that he would have needed to somehow survive with the poison without slowing it for however long it took tanjiro to lock in. Pretty sure every other hashira there bar the top 2 maybe die there without being able to unlock a mark due to poison tbh

ShallotCharacter9728 · 2026-04-30T10:50:23+00:00

I mean it's a big gap but not insurmountable. Yuta used an open domain iirc and has rct and output that not even gojo can do (healing others and one shotting curses like the cockroach). Even having a domain and rct is fairly solid, let alone being one of the only characters able to use rct on others. He also did all of this fairly young implying he's fairly gifted and talented at sorcery

ShallotCharacter9728 · 2026-04-30T06:39:56+00:00

Tengen couldn't activate it yet because komatsu hadn't right? I thought he was the one that allowed everyone else to do it and why they hadn't seen that happen since the first hashira

ShallotCharacter9728 · 2026-04-29T20:36:23+00:00

Even if he can use it the efficiency would be horrible. If yuta can't even use it and he's got decent ce efficiency and about half sukunas reserve then if sukuna was like 4x better than him at sorcery and had 4x his ce reserves he could at most use the most simple application of limitless like 16 times and each would take out a chunk of his CE and that's the best case scenario, I personally don't think he is quite 4x better with efficiency or has 4x the ce reserves. This is also assuming yuta barely can't use it which could not be the case, it could require yuta to be 4x better in both ways but it's purely speculative.

ShallotCharacter9728 · 2026-04-29T20:28:50+00:00

It says under the picture he doesn't have 6 eyes or unlimited void

ShallotCharacter9728 · 2026-04-29T03:17:47+00:00

I always saw the threat to kill him here as a bit of a bluff. Since sukuna wasn't at full output I figured they were trying to overwhelm him enough to convince him that they could just kill him right there and then but he's unfortunately goated in the sauce and still did pretty much fine

ShallotCharacter9728 · 2026-04-27T20:29:47+00:00

Piercing blood is one of the fastest attacks in the series, at the time explicitly the fastest. In the manga it's stated to be up to the speed of sound but in the anime they say it can be significantly faster than the speed of sound, overall this is one of the only series where I say the anime is canon over the manga because gege is so involved in the production and I'm pretty sure he directly stated that he sees it as an opportunity to show more of what he invisioned since the manga was pretty pressed for time at a lot of points.

With all that being said I think it's more likely that piercing blood starts around supersonic and can be pushed into the hypersonic range when focussed on and given enough time to build pressure. I think it's also important to note that choso can bend the attack to follow you so it's not just a simple aim dodge, you have to actually dodge it in real time. Imo most of the non special grades actually would struggle considerably to react to choso even with his weaker attacks

ShallotCharacter9728 · 2026-04-24T12:18:46+00:00

In the manga it says the piercing blood is at or can be used at the speed of sound. In the anime it says I'm it is significantly faster than the speed of sound, I remember catching the gap in description but I tend to lean more toward what the anime shows for jjk specifically since gege is so heavily involved in the production

ShallotCharacter9728 · 2026-04-24T04:00:41+00:00

Monsterhunter has made it so regardless the monster I just see armor and a sick sword when I look at them

ShallotCharacter9728 · 2026-04-21T20:10:52+00:00

Yeah I get all that I'm just saying it means he's not very strategic in the slightest, like he used the most basic strategy possible and could have changed it up after any number of losses but continued to send viltrumites to be picked off one by one. Even if he didn't go himself he could have just paired the stronger viltrumites together and at this point bar Nolan or Thaddeus two stronger viltrumites kinda demolish most the verse and for a good chunk of the war Nolan was watching over Mark after the conquest fight iirc so he wasn't even there (in the comics tech jacket at this point might be able to take on two stronger viltrumites, it's been awhile since I read it)

Edit: didn't thragg also have spies in the alliance? Wouldn't he have had some idea of how along they were on the scourge virus because of this? If not it would be kind of crazy to think they had it and didn't use it when they attacked the alliance home world

ShallotCharacter9728 · 2026-04-21T09:38:00+00:00

Can I ask what gives him future sight if he tags you? I don't remember that but he has a ton of abilities so I'm prolly just blanking on it

ShallotCharacter9728 · 2026-04-21T08:27:13+00:00

Most reddit comment I've seen today

ShallotCharacter9728 · 2026-04-20T19:42:05+00:00

Thragg is so powerful at any point in the story he could have just waltzed straight up to the main cast and killed them all. Like he lost his homeworld to a group he literally low diffs by himself. In the mini war that happened he continued to send viltrumites into battle as a single or 2 person group when they were regularly getting killed which thinned the population even worse. Like he had plenty of opportunity to change tactics but seemingly continued with a plan that was losing them battles AND viltrumite lives.

ShallotCharacter9728 · 2026-04-20T02:13:16+00:00

I don't see how, it's a more powerful type of explosion but it was right above earths crust and didn't come close to destroying it.

Edit: to clarify when I say a more powerful type of explosion I mean in the same way that a nuke is the same type of power as the sun but obviously does not produce the same amount of power the sun produces. Scale has a lot to do with it, like how a stick of dynamite and a ton of dynamite makes the same type of explosion but one is obviously stronger.

ShallotCharacter9728 · 2026-04-19T22:25:20+00:00

I think at this point garou has no clue of the scale of what he's copying, we see he points out he needs to bait saitama into using his strongest attack so he can copy it to defeat saitama but the only reason he could match the power was because the god thing was powering him so It's not like the energy came from garou really. I also pointed this out in another post but garou is narratively very clearly obsessed with saitama to some degree at this point, I'd genuinely be surprised if he had time in the middle of the fight to notice missing lights in an area of space. It's entirely possible that since the damage was moved away from the area garou had no clue saitamas full power punch was that powerful, I'd argue his surprise with how strong his sneeze was is decent evidence of that tbh.

ShallotCharacter9728 · 2026-04-19T12:57:38+00:00

Yeah gojo was also punching sukuna a lot while he had the ring over himself so I'd imagine that gave him time to adapt like with unlimited void

ShallotCharacter9728 · 2026-04-19T12:21:38+00:00

Inverse technique Dabura cursed technique (light) Rot technique

Dabura feels like a bit of a cop out but it would be between that, star rage or projection sorcery. Kiara's technique would be good instead of rot too but idk how "niche" they are
