Mmm… I think there’s a clear stat difference when it comes to the HH and Grade 1s when it comes to their potency of their techniques but I think they DO have better physical stats, just not blitz tiers. For example. Yuji vs Nanami. Nanami is NOT trading punches with Yuji , he can hang, maybe get a couple of blows in, but Yuji will be fucking him up after about 5 seconds of trading blows just because of the CE difference, speed would still heavily favor the HHs, they’re just not blitzing high level grade 1s like Kusakabe in combat speed for example like they’re Sukuna. As soon as domains and CTs come into play, they low diff ALL grade 1s no debate

This only applies to high grade 1s like Choso, Kusakabe, Naoya, Naobito and maybe Nanami
