THEORY ABOUT THE NEW YUTA PARRY SNEAK PEAK
CRAZY crazy little guess
Imagine if that bar on the side means the katana's durability. So like if the bar reaches full, the katana breaks or Yuta sheaths the katana, any of the two.
And then, during that state, yuta will be using his big strong fists!!! With his moveset changing to a more physical version!!
So like in his katana version, he uses mostly his cursed energy while in the sheathed version he'll use his fists more. That'd be really cool! We've seen so many really cool physicals that yuta did during sendai colony and this is a really cool way to implement it i think.
Idk how he'd get it back i'd assume its either a timer or another move that forces yuta to use his katana. if i had to guess it'd probably have something to do with Rika.
Or it could be like hero slayer's mastery version, where Yuta throws the katana away like how he did with kurourushi, and then to re enter Katana state you'll have to go ontop of the katana to retrieve it.
Thats all just my theories though im not as smart as locust guy i'm more like itto incarnate
