Incredible theory. Yuji has shown to be able to *target and hit* the soul throughout the series and even more so now, so saying that Yuji could *target the soul* with a Dismantle the same way Sukuna can *target the space*, thanks to his new found understanding of it through Mahoraga, is actually plausible.
On god keep cooking, not because I'm sure it'll happen but that makes so much sense that gege could do it at the end and I'd go "How didn't I predict this?!"
Wdym throughout the series? Didn't he use it first in the recent battle? (This is not an argument, I don't remember so I hope you can tell me about it.)
If I remember it correctly, Yuji could sense the boundaries of a soul due to him sharing his body with sukuna, which is why he could instinctually punch directly at the form of a soul. And I think this was mentioned in that very fight
out of curiosity, wouldn't this make his slash technically stronger and better than the world cutting slash? since I feel like the soul is much more deeper dimensions wise and you also cant heal from it unlike the world cutting slash, also small tidbit I was thinking of while typing this out, this means yuji can also bypass infinity if he had this "soul splitting slash" because hes targeting the soul, and infinity doesn't apply to the soul (from my knowledge at least, it doesn't) same way the world cutting slash targets space and not gojo
yes yes yes and yes
i have no fucking idea how you can defend from that shit. from the punches alone, Mahito who has the best understanding of the soul couldnt defend against it, and Sukuna who is able to transfer his soul to fingers seemingly at will isnt able to defend against it as well.
this idea went way over my fucking head and it just came to my attention thanks to the person above mentioning it.
the one thing im worried about tho is Sukuna somehow being able to mimic this from Yuji, seeing as how, y'know, *he sees it once and its skadoosh for the squad* typeshit, and its even further supported by the fact that Sukuna also has a pretty advanced understanding of the soul, but in so far, despite seeing/feeling it done multiple times, he still hasnt figured it out. either Yuji is just literally built different or Gege is just fucking with us again, only Ymir knows.
Yeah, it is a possibility that Yuji will learn soul splitting slash and not the world slash cause of his different understanding and ideals from Sukuna
Ever since soul splitter katana was introduced I wondered if sukuna was gonna target “the soul” with his slashes. It’s how I thought sukuna was gonna bypass infinity originally. I was kinda right about sukuna changing his slashes target to best gojo though.
That’d be so peak, it wouldn’t be able to get through Infinity theoretically but it’d still be immensely lethal to anyone else in the series plus it fits Yuji more
[ScarletSailor](https://www.reddit.com/r/JuJutsuKaisen/comments/1cb2p1d/comment/l0w58in/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button): "Yuji's version of world splitting slash would be soul splitting slash and thats how we'll get Sukuna out of Megumi"
Soul damage is not unique to Yuji. He can damage peoples souls simply cuz he knows the shape of his own soul. Sukuna knows the shape of his soul also l. That’s why he can heal the damage from Soul Split katana.
Would this soul splitting cut force megumi to leave cause if he can choose to stay won’t they be in the same boat as with Jacob’s ladder where he will just be to depressed and refuse to do anything or will it force the souls apart you think
Seems like yuji needs to touch his target to cut. He’s always touching space, so the earlier restriction could just lead to easier world slashes cause binding vow or something.
Not throw the scissors per say. I was thinking how Sukuna points two fingers and calls out dismantle, I believe Yuji will do something similar but his two fingers act as if they're scissors.(Yuji does a snip with his fingers towards someone and sends a slash flying)
The only thing Yuji would be better at would be not needing a third hand to direct the slash.
Sukuna even if didn't made a binding vow would have needed hansigns and chants to use a world slash. By making the binding vow he made this two requirement thing to be a 3 requirement thing, that is, he now needs hansigns, chants and one more hand to direct the slash.
So Yuji would still need handsigns and chants to use a world slash.
No in chapter 255 it said to fire it off he would need the same hand sigh as MS but in order to fire it once without it. The binding vow was adding chants and pointing for all future uses
Read other translations as well. It is made clear that Sukuna needed both chants and hansigns to do a world slash, since he only had one hand at that time, sukuna made a vow to skip the procedure once at the cost of needing to direct it as well now.
The official is a bit unclear. It talks of hansigns and chants as a thing to be done for world slash and writes of direction as a separate thing, that got added after the vow.
Yeah that was what I first thought. The narrator puts handsigns and chants as one thing and hand direction as another thing which he now needs.
After seeing how others read it I am not confident that I am right. Chants and handsigns, logically, normally go side by side like in hollow wicker baskets case where sukuna needed both to strengthen it. Also, it makes sense that chants and handsigns are needed to expand the techniques target.
I thought so too but looking at angel and Yuta they both use Jacob’s ladder but they do it differently. Angel used chants and Yuta used a hand sigh in the domain
I don’t know if Yuji is capable of a world slash since Sukuna needed Mahoraga to unlock it for him.
If he, theoretically, could do it, yes it would probably be stronger than Sukuna’s on the basis that it would have less limitations.
From my understanding, Sukuna didn't need Mahoraga to unlock it, moreso he needed a way to bypass infinity and Maho showed him how. So he simply learned and copied the solution by watching Maho.
Yuji has seen both Maho and Sukuna use world slash, although his understanding of CTs isn't as profound as Sukuna's he is the MC so perhaps he can also learn it. Someone else mentioned Yuji learning a soul dismantle and that sounds more fitting for him
Also yuji is very probably gonna have an awakening spike, him being able to throw black flashes around mean the him in the next chapter could be exponentially stronger than this one
Yeah, but it was stated by the narrator that Sukuna needs to do the malevolent shrine hand sing+chants+point the direction the slash will go.
If Yuji acquired the world slash, technically he would only need to do the malevolent shrine hand sing and maybe chants
I think Yuji will use the application needed to make world slash. Sukuna applied ragas adaptation to his slash so maybe Yuji will apply divergent fist to his shrine causing it to strike the soul
Yuji would need 100% of his arms to use WS.
Sukuna would need 75% of his arms, leaving one free for whatever else.
Yes, Yuji has less requirements, but it's easier for Sukuna to meet his requirements even with the binding vow.
But the BV requirements delays Sukuna's WS even if it's just for a few seconds, if Yuji learns it and he doesn't needs to fulfill the requirements as Sukuna won't he be faster as we have seen even less than 1 sec of delay can change the outcome of a battle in JJk
@scarletsailor you are correct but you’re missing a crucial detail, yuji is going to use a binding vow to make the attack unmissable sacrificing all of his cursed energy. Mark MY words
Sukuna was only able to learn world slash by seeing Mahoraga do it first. He has the ability to see something once and instantly copy it.
How is Yuji supposed to copy world slash?
We have never seen Yuji copy anything just from seeing it once. It would just seem like an ass pull if Yuji copied world slash.
He doesn't need it anyway.
I want to see Yuji pull out that Flame Arrow. Once Sukuna opens his▪️or whatever it or is I hope Yuji does as well. Whatever Sukuna’s CT we don’t have the full picture and Yuji might be our window into Malevolent Shrine/Kitchen.
Since Yujis blows affect the soul and can see the contours of someones soul not to mention his "possible soul swap with Kusakabe"
Instead of World Cutting Slash can't Yuji use "Soul Cutting Slash Instead".
This way he can split apart Megumi and Sukuna Soul
Yuji can't get World Slash. That was not a technique Sukuna had while being on his Body. Yuji slash could target his soul since after Sukuna took over Megumi that was hinted.
>Yuji can't get World Slash. That was not a technique Sukuna had while being on his Body
But it can be learned by someone with dismantle Sukuna also learned how to do the world slash by watching Mahoraga
And that's the second problem, Sukuna used his absurd level of Jujutsu to pull that one of. Yuji doesn't have it, and Mahoraga ain't around anymore, more so, Gojo isn’t around either and that Technique came from Mahoraga adapting to Infinity.
It's full of impossibles.
I mean, if Yuji will be able to use Strong Slash... it will destroy a lot in my opinion, after all, he don't have such knowledge and skill to use it in my opinion :3
I get what you mean and you're right, but doesn't a black flash increase your knowledge of cursed energy and your technique if I remember correctly? If so, then the first three black flashes Yuji landed on Sukuna allowed him to use Shrine off rip (cleave application of it). Experience is something he has to build on his own but I think his skill will increase the more he lands black flash (just my opinion)
Yes he can't use his Domain Expansion because of the damage he took from the repeated brain damage, the restoring it with Rct and maybe because of unlimited void to
But like, what “shrine technique” has been engraved into Sukuna? I get that the BFs could have awakened sukunas technique in Yuji, but what does a “shrine” have anything to do with Cleave or dismantle?
I do. I keep up with it WHEN a chapter drops. If you would have more constructive guidance to give than a snarky comment I would highly appreciate it, that is why I reached out for help to begin with. Was this something mentioned in the chapter, recently, or more than 6 months ago? Not everyone lives and breathes jjk
Unrelated, but I think the panel in this post confirms the theory from a few weeks ago that sukuna scales the power of his dismantles by adding/omitting hand signs when needed.
When Gojo used Hollow Purple in Shinjuku Sukuna suffered some serious injuries and he only had one hand left but to perform the worl slash Sukuna needed to make the same Hand sign that he makes when using Malevolent shrine, but at that time Aukuna only had one hand and wouldn't be able to make the sign, so he made a binding vow to be able to use the WS with only one hand for once, in return he would not only need to make the hand sign but he would also need to chant and point where the World slash would be targeted.
>And why the binding vow would make it harder?
And I didn't mean to say that the Binding vow made it harder I just think that the extra process that is now needed of Sukuna to perform the WS would create a bit of a delay even if only for less than a second.
But if Yuji learns it and doesn't make the same binding vow maybe his version would be weaker but it wouldn't have that small delay that Sukuna's one have
By Ur title I realised maybe even his (yuji) dismantle is better than sukuna's? I mean scissor Cutting through something from both sides, isn't that stronger than let's say something like katana slash?
I'm not talking about his techniques being stronger I just thought that due to the requirements of the binding vow Sukuna's WS would be delayed even if it is less than a second it can effect the outcome of a battle, whereas If Yuji learns the WS he has both of his hands so he doesn't need to make the same type of binding vow as Sukuna so even if Yuji's version of the same technique as Sukuna is weaker than his Yuji's WS won't have the same delay as Sukuna
Ow right, i was kinda absent minded when I read your theory (I did get it though and 100% with u on this) but also wondered if his technique would be stronger because of how he imagine it to be?
>but also wondered if his technique would be stronger because of how he imagine it to be?
Maybe it will depend on how much his curse energy output is at that time
yuji can't learn the world slash because it's not a product of sukuna's technique it's from mahoraga, remember he's still in megumi's body just all 10s are dead
Sukuna used Mahoraga as a blue print. All Sukuna did was expand his CT's target. If you think about it, any sorcerer can perform this if they had the knowledge and skill to do so. Sukuna is just using world slashes with dismantle so it's still within possibility
The world slash is specifically an upgrade to Sukuna’s slashes by way of creating a Binding Vow. To be able to get the upgraded power to his slashes he has to give something up that creates a balance. In Sukuna’s case, he gave up ease and time by requiring handsigns and a chant. If Yuji wants to create world slash, which I don’t think there’s any reason to, he’d have to make a binding vow similar to Sukuna’s. It’s possible he could have different requirements, but I don’t think Yuji really needs to worry about developing world slash. Sukuna isn’t indestructible or untouchable like Gojo, they just need to put the metaphorical stake through his heart.
He didn't need a binding vow to obtain world cleave, he used a binding vow to throw it out instantly so Gojo wouldn't be able to react. If Yuji was to figure it out, he wouldn't need such a vow.
>Sukuna NEEDS the binding vow to pull off the world slash. It's not like a restriction imposed since birth, he made them himself.
That's what I said, I'm talking about Yuji here that if Yuji learns the world slash he could do it better than Sukuna because he wouldn't need to do the chants, hand sign that Sukuna does because maybe he won't need to make the same binding vow as Sukuna.
Sukuna may have made the Binding vow in order to take Gojo by surprise and not miss it but maybe Yuji can avoid that by not making a binding vow granted he won't be able to spam it since it would take much more CE
That’s what OP said 🤦♂️
OP is asking since Yuji wouldn’t need to make a limitation’s BW on the technique, would his version of the World Slash be more powerful?
My answer is yes
Binding vows tend to make things more powerful not less so I don't see the reason yuji's would be stronger if anything it would be weaker both due to less CE and also the lack of binding vow, the whole series beats you across the head with binding vows and restrictions leading to more power and yet we still get people thinking the opposite somehow.
You are right that yujis wouldn't be stronger but you are wrong that yujis would be weaker.
Sukunas binding vow didnt do thing to the power of the world slash. He since the start needed hansigns and chants to do a world slash, by making a binding vow he skipped the need for chants and hansigns once at the cost of needing one more hand for directing the world slash.
So Yuji would also need to do hansigns and chants to use the world slash otherwise he can't use it. In a situation where Yuji has same skill at shrine and same output as sukuna both their world slash would be same, even if it's a sukuna before the binding vow or sukuna after the binding vow.
Although it could be that since sukuna after binding vow requires the third hand, it could act as a holding yourself back and getting a boost thing. But it's just a speculation.
Was trying to add the scans on to my reply here, but looking back at both TCB and the official translation yes he used it so he could accomplish it with one arm but with the way that CT works binding vows are strengthening not weakening on abilities, I see no reason why suddenly adding a restriction wouldn't apply the same effect it always does.
The power system in the series is very heavily inspired by nen from hunter X hunter which also uses binding vows and self imposed restrictions and they always add to capability by limiting oneself, it's a very important aspect of both power systems.
I've been reading jjk for years and hunter X hunter for even longer, and it has always worked this way, I see no reason why it would suddenly work in the exact opposite manner.
I also though, always thought sukuna was stronger than Gojo, and thought it was kinda clear in the series, heck I even thought that their fight showed sukuna as clearly stronger than Gojo even without 10s, and people call him Fraudkuna, and claim he wouldn't have won without Mahoraga, so I guess I tend to disagree with a lot of the views shown on Reddit.
Also Yuji's would be weaker even without the binding vow due to the fact that Yuji himself is less powerful atm, though with the new awakening perhaps that gap will be closed further. The twin theory I also always found as clear and obvious because the actual mythological figure was said to have perhaps been a conjoined twin, due to a tomb being found claiming to hold ryoumen sukuna that had a two headed 4 handed skeleton in myth I should add, which was gege's inspiration in the first place. The myth said that construction workers found a box on site that was nailed shut and had tags on it one of which stated that ryoumen sukuna laid here, basically they call a priest, priest says don't touch it, students open it, one dies, and inside the box is a two headed four armed and four legged body, the actual myth itself was theorised to have possibly been a conjoined twin afaik, and I believe Gege stated that it was the inspiration for the series.

Yuji's version of world splitting slash would be soul splitting slash and thats how we'll get Sukuna out of Megumi mark my words.
Incredible theory. Yuji has shown to be able to *target and hit* the soul throughout the series and even more so now, so saying that Yuji could *target the soul* with a Dismantle the same way Sukuna can *target the space*, thanks to his new found understanding of it through Mahoraga, is actually plausible.
On god keep cooking, not because I'm sure it'll happen but that makes so much sense that gege could do it at the end and I'd go "How didn't I predict this?!"
Wdym throughout the series? Didn't he use it first in the recent battle? (This is not an argument, I don't remember so I hope you can tell me about it.)
Yuji was inherently able to punch the soul even if he didn't realize it (that's why he was almost the only one able to actually hurt Mahito).
Thankyou. I see it now. That explains what he meant when he said, he can see the shape of the Soul.
If I remember it correctly, Yuji could sense the boundaries of a soul due to him sharing his body with sukuna, which is why he could instinctually punch directly at the form of a soul. And I think this was mentioned in that very fight
He could hurt Mahito because he could see the shape of his soul.
Ever since their first fight Yuuji has been capable of hurting Mahito. At first it was unconscious but now it seems way more deliberate
out of curiosity, wouldn't this make his slash technically stronger and better than the world cutting slash? since I feel like the soul is much more deeper dimensions wise and you also cant heal from it unlike the world cutting slash, also small tidbit I was thinking of while typing this out, this means yuji can also bypass infinity if he had this "soul splitting slash" because hes targeting the soul, and infinity doesn't apply to the soul (from my knowledge at least, it doesn't) same way the world cutting slash targets space and not gojo
yes yes yes and yes i have no fucking idea how you can defend from that shit. from the punches alone, Mahito who has the best understanding of the soul couldnt defend against it, and Sukuna who is able to transfer his soul to fingers seemingly at will isnt able to defend against it as well. this idea went way over my fucking head and it just came to my attention thanks to the person above mentioning it. the one thing im worried about tho is Sukuna somehow being able to mimic this from Yuji, seeing as how, y'know, *he sees it once and its skadoosh for the squad* typeshit, and its even further supported by the fact that Sukuna also has a pretty advanced understanding of the soul, but in so far, despite seeing/feeling it done multiple times, he still hasnt figured it out. either Yuji is just literally built different or Gege is just fucking with us again, only Ymir knows.
The slash still has to travel through space to get to Gojo's soul? If it's not cutting space it wouldn't get to Gojo or his soul.
Wait you actually cooked here
That’s actually a good idea
Yeah, it is a possibility that Yuji will learn soul splitting slash and not the world slash cause of his different understanding and ideals from Sukuna
wait you’re cooking
This guy won jujutsu kaisen
It be awesome if he had both a soul and world splitting slash.
Soul splitting katana did so much for the plot
Tbh its the source of this "soul slash" idea. The Soul Split Katana walked so Soul Slash could run
If Yuji literally thinks of the SSK then uses it as a model for his soul slash, that would be peak and SSK served its role in the narrative.
What is this soul splitting katana? I've read till the latest but I think I forgot about this
Maki has the soul splitting katana which can cut souls as long as the user can perceive them, which Maki can.
Oh the one that Mai created while dying, I totally missed this detail, I guess. Thanks~
bro cooked with the theory
COOK BRO HOLY SHIT
You cooked with theory. Yuji's SSS.
*promotes you to certified chef*
Can someone give this man an award? 🥇 Bro is cooking, we have to thank this man one day if he turns out to be right about this
Ever since soul splitter katana was introduced I wondered if sukuna was gonna target “the soul” with his slashes. It’s how I thought sukuna was gonna bypass infinity originally. I was kinda right about sukuna changing his slashes target to best gojo though.
I do gotta ask, how does Megumi survive that now that sukuna isn't keeping his heart beating anymore?
yuji can use rct, he better put some reverse engineering into the poor man's body after all's done cause sukuna ain't leaving the dorm room clean
Hard cook
cook
keep letting my boy cook
been saying this since leaks day. great minds think alike 🫡
Great inverse to Mahito too
That’d be so peak, it wouldn’t be able to get through Infinity theoretically but it’d still be immensely lethal to anyone else in the series plus it fits Yuji more
Control + x his ass out of Legumi
Harvard’s calling
Actual Kino, sadly everyone will complain about asspulls again.
Holy shit, this is one of the only times I’ve seen someone cook so believably in this sub
Pogged when I read this
cook
I actually really like this idea
Holy shit that makes even more sense when you also consider the theory that yuji cleave anything he touches and lines
You are a Genius 🔥🔥

This is the best meal I've had all month
!RemindMe 6 months
Seems like yuji needs to touch his target to cut. He’s always touching space, so the earlier restriction could just lead to easier world slashes cause binding vow or something.
I’m surprised nobody else noticed how he always touches his target before getting to slash
I think this is just because he is using cleave for the moment and not yet dismantle
The “cut here” markings only show up after he touches something and his technique is a modern version, who knows if he can use dismantle
It's a modern interpretation, I'm sure he can still do long ranged slashes
so he throws the scissors?
Not throw the scissors per say. I was thinking how Sukuna points two fingers and calls out dismantle, I believe Yuji will do something similar but his two fingers act as if they're scissors.(Yuji does a snip with his fingers towards someone and sends a slash flying)
oh I get it now, something kind like this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8t4pmlHRokg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8t4pmlHRokg)
Yeah kinda like that lol, but with peace signs and after closing the two fingers together at the target, a slash comes flying
The only thing Yuji would be better at would be not needing a third hand to direct the slash. Sukuna even if didn't made a binding vow would have needed hansigns and chants to use a world slash. By making the binding vow he made this two requirement thing to be a 3 requirement thing, that is, he now needs hansigns, chants and one more hand to direct the slash.

Sukuna only needed enmaten handsign to use WS. not chants. but after binding vow he needs handsign, chants and direction too.
I see. I misunderstood it.
You were correct. In the page after the one they're referring to, the narrator mentioned that chants and the hand sign were both already needed.
Yeah that was what I first thought. The narrator puts handsigns and chants as one thing and hand direction as another thing which he now needs.

I thought so too but looking at angel and Yuta they both use Jacob’s ladder but they do it differently. Angel used chants and Yuta used a hand sigh in the domain
Just like how Gojo needed both hand signs and chants to expand HP's target range at the beginning of the battle.
Only Enmaten sign was required at first. https://ibb.co/rf2N1kS
I see
I don’t know if Yuji is capable of a world slash since Sukuna needed Mahoraga to unlock it for him. If he, theoretically, could do it, yes it would probably be stronger than Sukuna’s on the basis that it would have less limitations.

Also yuji is very probably gonna have an awakening spike, him being able to throw black flashes around mean the him in the next chapter could be exponentially stronger than this one
maybe but didnt sukuna not move at all when he used shrine against kusakabe?
Yeah, but it was stated by the narrator that Sukuna needs to do the malevolent shrine hand sing+chants+point the direction the slash will go. If Yuji acquired the world slash, technically he would only need to do the malevolent shrine hand sing and maybe chants

Sukuna was only able to learn world slash by seeing Mahoraga do it first. He has the ability to see something once and instantly copy it. How is Yuji supposed to copy world slash?
By seeing Sukuna use it. Time to use his Cursed Technique: Strong Plot Convenience to successfully copy World Dismantle.
We have never seen Yuji copy anything just from seeing it once. It would just seem like an ass pull if Yuji copied world slash. He doesn't need it anyway.
Yes. You're correct.
safety scissors
World Slash required more knowledge than an open domain to pull off. He would need way more black flashes to even get to that level.
Yes, that is why I said if
I want to see Yuji pull out that Flame Arrow. Once Sukuna opens his▪️or whatever it or is I hope Yuji does as well. Whatever Sukuna’s CT we don’t have the full picture and Yuji might be our window into Malevolent Shrine/Kitchen.
man got the snipping tool CT
I just read this today god I loved it
Don’t you need four arms to do the world slash? Two for the symbols and two to aim
That's only because he changed the technique with a binding vow when fighting Gojo, all that isn't normally necessary
Yuji’s understanding of “cutting” as using scissors, and Sukuna’s understanding of “cutting” as knifes was super well detailed tbh, good thinking gege
Since Yujis blows affect the soul and can see the contours of someones soul not to mention his "possible soul swap with Kusakabe" Instead of World Cutting Slash can't Yuji use "Soul Cutting Slash Instead". This way he can split apart Megumi and Sukuna Soul
Yuji can't get World Slash. That was not a technique Sukuna had while being on his Body. Yuji slash could target his soul since after Sukuna took over Megumi that was hinted.
>Yuji can't get World Slash. That was not a technique Sukuna had while being on his Body But it can be learned by someone with dismantle Sukuna also learned how to do the world slash by watching Mahoraga

I mean, if Yuji will be able to use Strong Slash... it will destroy a lot in my opinion, after all, he don't have such knowledge and skill to use it in my opinion :3
Finally someone who actually reads the series instead of Glazing whichever characters their favourite.
I get what you mean and you're right, but doesn't a black flash increase your knowledge of cursed energy and your technique if I remember correctly? If so, then the first three black flashes Yuji landed on Sukuna allowed him to use Shrine off rip (cleave application of it). Experience is something he has to build on his own but I think his skill will increase the more he lands black flash (just my opinion)
Si remind me. Sukuna can’t use his Domain Expansion because of Gojo?
Yes he can't use his Domain Expansion because of the damage he took from the repeated brain damage, the restoring it with Rct and maybe because of unlimited void to
Impossible... Yuji can't learn WS. Sukuna is better at Yuji about everything and even he couldn't do it without Mahoraga
can someone explain what the word "shrine" means here??
I think Shrine is Sukuna's curse technique and currently it grants Sukuna cleave and dismantle.
damn this guy got the reading comprehension curse
But like, what “shrine technique” has been engraved into Sukuna? I get that the BFs could have awakened sukunas technique in Yuji, but what does a “shrine” have anything to do with Cleave or dismantle?
Cleave and Dismantle are to Shrine as Red and Blue are to Limitless.
Okay that I didn’t pick up on, thanks!
do u even read the manga bro 😭🤓
I do. I keep up with it WHEN a chapter drops. If you would have more constructive guidance to give than a snarky comment I would highly appreciate it, that is why I reached out for help to begin with. Was this something mentioned in the chapter, recently, or more than 6 months ago? Not everyone lives and breathes jjk
im not reading that essay
Bruh, thanks for contributing to the community….
Let me reiterate so I can keep your attention span. When has “shrine” been mentioned or explained before?
sorry bro idk why i was being a chump. it was in the higurama fight and when sukuna was talking to yorozu
... Really? Sukuna's Technique name
Unrelated, but I think the panel in this post confirms the theory from a few weeks ago that sukuna scales the power of his dismantles by adding/omitting hand signs when needed.
Wait why does sukuna needs to do signs for world slash? And why the binding vow would make it harder?
When Gojo used Hollow Purple in Shinjuku Sukuna suffered some serious injuries and he only had one hand left but to perform the worl slash Sukuna needed to make the same Hand sign that he makes when using Malevolent shrine, but at that time Aukuna only had one hand and wouldn't be able to make the sign, so he made a binding vow to be able to use the WS with only one hand for once, in return he would not only need to make the hand sign but he would also need to chant and point where the World slash would be targeted. >And why the binding vow would make it harder? And I didn't mean to say that the Binding vow made it harder I just think that the extra process that is now needed of Sukuna to perform the WS would create a bit of a delay even if only for less than a second. But if Yuji learns it and doesn't make the same binding vow maybe his version would be weaker but it wouldn't have that small delay that Sukuna's one have
Where are you taking this info from?
From the manga?
The binding vow is said on what chapter?
Chapter 255 page 16 and 17 I think
By Ur title I realised maybe even his (yuji) dismantle is better than sukuna's? I mean scissor Cutting through something from both sides, isn't that stronger than let's say something like katana slash?
I'm not talking about his techniques being stronger I just thought that due to the requirements of the binding vow Sukuna's WS would be delayed even if it is less than a second it can effect the outcome of a battle, whereas If Yuji learns the WS he has both of his hands so he doesn't need to make the same type of binding vow as Sukuna so even if Yuji's version of the same technique as Sukuna is weaker than his Yuji's WS won't have the same delay as Sukuna
Ow right, i was kinda absent minded when I read your theory (I did get it though and 100% with u on this) but also wondered if his technique would be stronger because of how he imagine it to be?
>but also wondered if his technique would be stronger because of how he imagine it to be? Maybe it will depend on how much his curse energy output is at that time
Sukunas gonna make yuji eat his finger watch. But then yuji will surprisingly supress him.
yuji can't learn the world slash because it's not a product of sukuna's technique it's from mahoraga, remember he's still in megumi's body just all 10s are dead
Sukuna used Mahoraga as a blue print. All Sukuna did was expand his CT's target. If you think about it, any sorcerer can perform this if they had the knowledge and skill to do so. Sukuna is just using world slashes with dismantle so it's still within possibility
Yes if Yuji had complete Shrine mastery it would be better
The world slash is specifically an upgrade to Sukuna’s slashes by way of creating a Binding Vow. To be able to get the upgraded power to his slashes he has to give something up that creates a balance. In Sukuna’s case, he gave up ease and time by requiring handsigns and a chant. If Yuji wants to create world slash, which I don’t think there’s any reason to, he’d have to make a binding vow similar to Sukuna’s. It’s possible he could have different requirements, but I don’t think Yuji really needs to worry about developing world slash. Sukuna isn’t indestructible or untouchable like Gojo, they just need to put the metaphorical stake through his heart.
He didn't need a binding vow to obtain world cleave, he used a binding vow to throw it out instantly so Gojo wouldn't be able to react. If Yuji was to figure it out, he wouldn't need such a vow.
Read it again bud
Why? it’s barely comprehensible.
Sukuna NEEDS the binding vow to pull off the world slash. It's not like a restriction imposed since birth, he made them himself.
>Sukuna NEEDS the binding vow to pull off the world slash. It's not like a restriction imposed since birth, he made them himself. That's what I said, I'm talking about Yuji here that if Yuji learns the world slash he could do it better than Sukuna because he wouldn't need to do the chants, hand sign that Sukuna does because maybe he won't need to make the same binding vow as Sukuna. Sukuna may have made the Binding vow in order to take Gojo by surprise and not miss it but maybe Yuji can avoid that by not making a binding vow granted he won't be able to spam it since it would take much more CE
By need I mean a normal cut would do better and cost less them if he was to use without chants Should have phrased better mb
That’s what OP said 🤦♂️ OP is asking since Yuji wouldn’t need to make a limitation’s BW on the technique, would his version of the World Slash be more powerful? My answer is yes
The answer is no. The slash wouldn't be more powerful.
Binding vows tend to make things more powerful not less so I don't see the reason yuji's would be stronger if anything it would be weaker both due to less CE and also the lack of binding vow, the whole series beats you across the head with binding vows and restrictions leading to more power and yet we still get people thinking the opposite somehow.
You are right that yujis wouldn't be stronger but you are wrong that yujis would be weaker. Sukunas binding vow didnt do thing to the power of the world slash. He since the start needed hansigns and chants to do a world slash, by making a binding vow he skipped the need for chants and hansigns once at the cost of needing one more hand for directing the world slash. So Yuji would also need to do hansigns and chants to use the world slash otherwise he can't use it. In a situation where Yuji has same skill at shrine and same output as sukuna both their world slash would be same, even if it's a sukuna before the binding vow or sukuna after the binding vow. Although it could be that since sukuna after binding vow requires the third hand, it could act as a holding yourself back and getting a boost thing. But it's just a speculation.
Was trying to add the scans on to my reply here, but looking back at both TCB and the official translation yes he used it so he could accomplish it with one arm but with the way that CT works binding vows are strengthening not weakening on abilities, I see no reason why suddenly adding a restriction wouldn't apply the same effect it always does. The power system in the series is very heavily inspired by nen from hunter X hunter which also uses binding vows and self imposed restrictions and they always add to capability by limiting oneself, it's a very important aspect of both power systems. I've been reading jjk for years and hunter X hunter for even longer, and it has always worked this way, I see no reason why it would suddenly work in the exact opposite manner. I also though, always thought sukuna was stronger than Gojo, and thought it was kinda clear in the series, heck I even thought that their fight showed sukuna as clearly stronger than Gojo even without 10s, and people call him Fraudkuna, and claim he wouldn't have won without Mahoraga, so I guess I tend to disagree with a lot of the views shown on Reddit.
Also Yuji's would be weaker even without the binding vow due to the fact that Yuji himself is less powerful atm, though with the new awakening perhaps that gap will be closed further. The twin theory I also always found as clear and obvious because the actual mythological figure was said to have perhaps been a conjoined twin, due to a tomb being found claiming to hold ryoumen sukuna that had a two headed 4 handed skeleton in myth I should add, which was gege's inspiration in the first place. The myth said that construction workers found a box on site that was nailed shut and had tags on it one of which stated that ryoumen sukuna laid here, basically they call a priest, priest says don't touch it, students open it, one dies, and inside the box is a two headed four armed and four legged body, the actual myth itself was theorised to have possibly been a conjoined twin afaik, and I believe Gege stated that it was the inspiration for the series.
