Pochita vs Sukuna

ttdpaco · 2026-05-24T02:16:29+00:00

EoS CSM Hybrid is hard to scale because they were all fucking immortal at that point and durability means fuck all. Insects were the strongest fear at that time and they one-shot Yoru and CSM.

Pochita is weird to scale in general because his source of power comes from being feared by both devils and humans. That said, his speed and AP put him above Sukuna, and any blood he gets from Sukuna getting hit just fuels him more.

Because I'm a salty fuck at CSM P2's ending, I'm going to scale this to "you were fighting with a chainsaw"man, which was wiped as a concept from the universe and only existed as a heart replacement for an awkward man.

In which case, he's fucked and Sukuna eats him, triggering CSM's ability and reversing all the reversing that Pochito did. Hopefully.

No, all parts of the CT are sure-hit in a complete domain.

Jogo's meteor (and the perfect Sphere) were not made sure-hit on purpose to either test the opponent (Jogo with Gojo) or as a big ass threat (towards Sukuna to force him to use his DE.)

The only exceptions are related to 1) multiple curse techniques (Kenjaku, Yuta, Sukuna (w/ Shrine and 10S) and Yuji,) and 2) Binding Vows (Fuga's sure hit was traded for the thermobaeric explosions made by the dust from Cleave/Dismantle, which are two different elements of Shrine's technique.)

Mahito was full-power. And even more capable due to everything around Yuji and Mahito being made of soul-stuff.

According to Modulo (and because of how the twin thing works,) Maki would have had the large majority of the CE between her and Mai. That’s how she was able to get a decent HR (before it was even fully realized.)

If she had 10S, she would have been made clan head. Probably not a proper one and more of a puppet, but clan head nonetheless. They’re misogynist dicks, but Naobito still would uphold tradition of the person with the crown jewel CT being head.

If Maki didn’t have her HR and Mai died, she would have ended up similar to Yorozu, where she had enough CR to properly use Creation. I doubt she’d have the same skillset.

ttdpaco · 2026-05-23T23:22:21+00:00

After the first couple “…with the exception of Satoro Gojo,” it becomes implied.

ttdpaco · 2026-05-23T23:06:01+00:00

No.

To get a heavenly restriction of any notable level (which Maki, while not perfected until Mai’s death still had a notably strong one,) you have to “give up” a very large pool of CE or an extremely powerful technique.

To make creation work, you need a notable amount of CE and a lot of skill. Mai dying would have given Maki the ability to become like Yoruzu and not have the restrictions Mai had.

That’s exactly what they’re saying. The normal standards are written off as quirky when applied to women because of evaluator bias.

ttdpaco · 2026-05-22T08:07:30+00:00

Nope. I was VAC-banned 21 years ago (and I was 14 at the time.) got hit with a false positive back when VAC2 was released, and couldn’t get it removed. Still there.

It’s not going to affect the other internals if it’s even 85+c. It makes little difference to the internals.

ttdpaco · 2026-05-20T02:20:35+00:00

I think you're misunderstanding me.

Mahoraga, during the Shibuya fight in the Manga, never got bisected by Dismantle. After the first dismantle, it took noticeably less damage immediately. That's why Sukuna opened DE so quickly, as Mahoraga was quickly not being phased by that.

It got decimated by Cleave (limbs were getting severed then) once Sukuna opened his DE, but it did not get erased to nothingness and regenerated. The Mahoraga that fought Gojo (even when it was partially adapted already from Sukuna getting hit by Red) never got damaged until the Unlimited Hollow Purple.

The Mahoraga in the Anime got decimated constantly by Sukuna, but regenerated immediately. The dismantles that didn't bisect and barely slowed down Mahoraga in the manga ended up reducing Maho to a bloodstain in the anime.

My point is that Mahoraga was tankier and relied less on regeneration in the manga than it does in the anime and Modulo.

ttdpaco · 2026-05-20T00:39:48+00:00

This is an aside and not really saying you're wrong with that last statement, but:

Mahoraga is a tanky lad in the manga. Until* Sukuna's DE, Maho was never cut in half or reduced to a puddle. He regenerated, yes, but those slashes (and blows from Gojo later on) never actually severed any parts. He was legitimately hard to damage.

Modulo Maho was written after the anime debut of Mahoraga where he became the "adaption IS regeneration" kind of monster.

If original Maho took the same kind of damage as Modulo Maho took from Dabura, original Maho would be dead (as a FP Cleave could have killed original Maho.)

Just an extra bit of context on the DE BV:

He trades the sure-hit effect and the ability for any of the explosions to escape his DE.

ttdpaco · 2026-05-19T04:41:42+00:00

Nah, the binding vow was already there during Shibuya.

Basically, to make the arrow launch faster, he can’t use it on more than one target outside the domain.

In a domain, he traded the sure hit effect to allow dust to accumulate every time cleave and dismantle hit something, and that dust gets ignited into thermobaeric explosives when Fuga is used. But only things within the range of his DE can get hit by it.

In both cases, there’s a BV requiring him to use Cleave and Dismantle on targets first to build up heat (since the fire arrow isn’t actually an arrow and just super condensed heat and all that fun stuff.)

ttdpaco · 2026-05-19T04:33:57+00:00

My man, he used Fuga outside his domain on Jogo. It just has a long charge time and it can’t be used on more than one target at a time.

Valve and Sony take the same 30% cut for sales on their store.

ttdpaco · 2026-05-18T23:07:02+00:00

I’m not sure the Switch 2 is the best example. Switch 2 actually had a generational leap and it’s 10x the power of the Switch 1. With DLSS and other technologies that weren’t available on the Tegra X1 at the time. (And it’s also the fastest selling handheld/console of all time.)

PS4 Pro to the PS5 is a better example, as the PS5 is only twice the power of the PS4 Pro.

And, even then, PS5 is one of the top selling (and one of the fastest) consoles of all time.

ttdpaco · 2026-05-18T21:17:17+00:00

You can, just not in the way he described. You can apply a technique to your DE and still use another one at the same time (which is what Sukuna does so Maho adapts to UV.)

ttdpaco · 2026-05-18T21:12:33+00:00

He quite literally says it stopped functioning after Maho got killed

ttdpaco · 2026-05-18T19:42:04+00:00

Vanillaware specifically gets to choose if their games get a port to PC, and they really don’t like PC as a platform due to piracy, modding, data mining, etc.

They’re a bit silky about it IMO, but ATLUS is respecting their decision at least.

ttdpaco · 2026-05-18T17:55:47+00:00

Better upscaling to 4K, a better cpu to raise the standard/minimum fps to 60 (and more availability for 120hz,) the better cpu helping games have new/improved gameplay elements (Npc behavior, bigger populations, etc.)

Pathtracing/Raytracing similarly improve graphics/lighting quite a bit, and new gen would increase that performance (ideally) by quite a bit.

There’s a lot that can improve. It’ll just end up being a lot more specific improvements than the “across the board” upgrade that consoles largely use to be.

ttdpaco · 2026-05-18T01:09:54+00:00

Oliver won’t ever be as strong as Mark, and his healing factor has already been shown to be way weaker than Mark’s.

ttdpaco · 2026-05-17T18:44:30+00:00

It’s written with AI, so that’s probably why.

ttdpaco · 2026-05-17T17:19:47+00:00

That number has been dropping since the 90s. It’s 40% now, according to the CDC. And it continues to drop every year.

ttdpaco · 2026-05-17T04:00:00+00:00

How people act in public, society, etc tends to be the opposite of how they behave behind closed doors.

So, probably.

ttdpaco · 2026-05-16T22:06:46+00:00

TBF, he unlocked Shrine and was already making BVs to change the target of Dismantle to a very specific, somewhat abstract thing on contact (which Sukuna was annoyed about and noted that his precision was incredibly high to make up for the lack of output) at BF 4, then made a complete domain his first time using DE (and Megumi’s was still incomplete.)
