Okay the point of this post is that people are doing anything in the world now to downplay kashimo.
Going as far as to push someone like Ryu above Kashimo in durability or power(overall not CE output) or just in general in the overall rankings.
How in good faith can we sit here and act like Kashimo dodging and surviving WCS by fully reincarnated Sukuna is a feat below Ryu getting no-diffed by 15f Meguna is. Even without arguing MBA no way kashimo wouldve so casually been no-diffed.
I also see people pushing the narrative that kashimo was dropped in a colony weaker than sendai and he would not survive sendai, there is just straight up no proof in that at all. The reason behind the implementation of point system was to showcase who the strongest sorcerers were. Kashimo had far and above more points than anyone in the sendai 4 had.
It is highly debatable where he places in the rankings with people like Yorozu, Yuki, Yuta and Hakari all sitting in the wings and then (my) top 3 already being a lock in Sukuna, Gojo, Kenjaku. But this hate boner for kashimo has gone too far, Ryu would never win against Kashimo and neither Kurourushi, Uro or Dhruv would.
TL;DR: Kashimo is not top 3 but acting like he is some bottom tier bum over losing to Jujutsu Satan is also disingenuous.
