1. The Narrator says Hakari is unkillable in JP. No "effectively" qualifier or anything. He can survive Black Holes, Perfect Spheres, Idle Transfiguration, SSK, anything.

2. Kashimo says trying to kill Hakari in base is a losing strategy. So Hakari is immortal in JP and if trying to kill him in base is a losing strategy then it's obvious he can't die in base either as that would be considered a win for Kashimo

Hollow Purple isn't the one-shot ability a lot of Gojo fans think it is, considering that it's never actually one-shot anyone.

Sukuna, someone who is especially weak to it's effects, has never been put down by it. A heavily weakened Sukuna was even capable of surviving it at one of his weakest points during the Shinjuku Raid

Almost immediately after being hit with a max output Omni Directional Purple by Gojo, he's able to pull off World cutting slash without any problems. To this day, there's little concensus if Gojo even could dodge or not since the plan was forhim to finish off Sukuna by himself

The closest we ever see Hollow Purple get to one-shotting someone is when Sukuna initially begun fighting Gojo. Howewer, this was a version of Hollow Purple that was amped beyond its regular power, so it isn't reliable to say this would be the case for a full power Hollow Purple.

So for people like Kenny, Hakari, etc. who aren't cursed objects or reincarnated sorcerers, there's a good chance they could survive HP *if it even hit*.

1. It's repeatedly called "Light". In both Ch. 213 [Slide 1, 2] and Ch. 221 [Slide 3, 4]

光 = Light

2. It is shown to have the attributes of Light [Slide 5]

• It blinds Yuji, so he closes his eyes
• It creates shadows, see Yuta hiding behind the barricade
• We know it's creating Light as Shoko wears sunglasses

3. It is never drawn with travel time and is always there or it isn't. Every single time it is used (outside of a Domain), we have no panels of Jacob's Ladder coming down. Every single time, it is not there and then is instantly all there [Slide 6, 7, 8].

Dismantle, Piercing Blood, Purple, Red, Blue all travel. Jacob's Ladder is never shown to travel. Find another attack, that doesn't work by spawning on the enemy (Domain Sure-Hits, Resonance, etc), that is shown without any travel time

4. It's drawn the same way as Dabura's Light [Slide 9], which is said to move the speed of Light [Image 10]. Jacob's Ladder came before Dabura's Light CT so Gege choosing to draw a Light CT similar to how he's already drawn JL tells us something about how he views Jacob's Ladder.

---

To be clear, the speed of JL being Light does not mean it has no counters because outside of a Domain, Yuta needs to blow a trumpet, but the speed of JL is different from the activation time. It's a bit like Hollow Purple. Once it is cast, Sukuna is fucked but Sukuna was able to apply enough pressure making it difficult for Gojo to cast

Basically, what is the gap between trumpet blow (activation) and JL (effect landing)

>!Spoiler: it's lightspeed!<

RCT Output removes the Cursed Energy in Yorozu's Liquid Metal removing her control of it [Slide 1] but can Yuta actually do this? The answer is yes

Knowledge: Its often claimed Yuta wouldn't know this counter but this is not true

1. Sorcerers can detect Cursed Energy, even Cursed Energy residuals [Slide 2]. Yuta does not need prior intel on Yorozu to sense the Cursed Energy moving around in her Liquid Metal

2. Yuta understands RCT Output erases Cursed Energy. This is why he uses it against Curses [Slide 3], who are made of Cursed Energy [Slide 4]

So Yuta can sense the Cursed Energy and he knows RCT Output removes Cursed Energy. It is not a leap to then conclude he will do so.

Capability

1. Yuta can Output RCT through his palms, mouth [Slide 5], and sword [Slide 3, 6]

2. Yuta can Output RCT through his sword fast enough to instantaneously heal Yuji the moment he died [Slide 6]. It is not a slow process and channeling it through his katana allows Yuta to erase Liquid Metal while also staying at a safe distance.

3. Rika explicitly can Output RCT too [Slide 7], double the trouble

Conclusion

Yuta has both the necessary knowledge and capability to erase the Cursed Energy in Yorozu's Liquid Metal so yes, he can do it.

---

As a closing point, to pre-emptively address a common rebuttal that RCT Output is costly; this is true but so is Construction (Liquid Metal) [Slide 8].

Any Liquid Metal that Yuta removes Yorozu's control over just collapses into a puddle [Slide 9] which forces Yorozu to either fight without her Liquid Metal (significantly lowers her lethality), create more (costly and said to get her into "difficult predicaments"), or somehow make contact with the metal to re-imbue it with her Cursed Energy [Slide 10]

Quick post just showing that it does not take Yuta a long time to put his ring on. He goes from clashing w/ Sukuna to basically having it on instantly. We don't even get a panel of him pulling it out and putting it on or anything. It just is there in-between text panels

不可侵 (fukashin) — inviolable / impenetrable

Sukuna calls Dhruv's Shikigami Domains "impenetrable", could he cross them if he wanted to?

1. Yuta knows the worm is an arsenal. Destroying it off the bat would be a completely logical thing to do
2. Toji's Worm is unable to defend itself as it's too low IQ (Hanami couldn't) and Toji has no way of defending it
3. The explosion will damage/stun Toji. As we see with Inumaki, the explosion affected the floor. Toji's worm is wrapped around his entire body
4. If Yuta "Explode"s the worm, there's a chance it will delete all Toji's weapons inside as we see with Geto's CSM, Toji doesn't know if the Curses will be released or die with him. We also have it strongly implied that anything in Megumi's Shadows will stay there after he dies. This means there's a possibility anything in the Worm when it dies, will stay lost forever.

Remember this Maki has the same stats as her "fully Awakened" self, just no enhanced perception
