So, we’ve seen with Rika that her soul was carried over but she retained almost 0 of her original personality except for her love for Yuta.

naoya is literally the exact same person with 0 differences in personality. His curse side seemed to not affect him whatsoever. This extends to the point of him literally reverting back to his human appearance right before he dies.

How the fuck can he even do that? Why did he just turn back to his original appearance?

He basically just got reborn with buffs

Culling games Higuruma

For me

AP easily goes to Mei mei

Speed easily goes to naoya

durability goes to Nanami or unironically Naoya (took maki’s punch while still living and running at 1000 miles an hour)

BIQ easily Todo

Hax Todo or Naoya

physicals easily Todo

Overall

Naoya

Todo

Nanami

Mei Mei

let‘s take a look at his kit

1000 years of Jujutsu knowledge, one of the most important aspects of a battle

comparable barrier skills to Sukuna himself

two extremely powerful techniques, one that literally carried Geto to special grade

probably the smartest person in the verse

good options for all ranges in battle

very good physicals

extremely unpredictable (has like a million curses at his disposal)

Yuta has 5 minutes mode, which Kenjaku can just stall for if he’s really getting outstatted, he has domain which Kenjaku completely annihilates with his far superior domain, he has Rika who was taken out by Ryu, he has like 5 cursed techniques which none are particularly good against kenjaku here

You really have to headcanon a win for Yuta rigjt here

This is like saying that Sasuke is the same as Kakashi or that Naruto is the same as Minato, creating the jutsu does not equal the same.

Tobirama created FTG but he uses it differently as well as a ton of other Jutsu on top of it with his diverse skillset.

Minato's primary jutsu is FTG and he was the one to master it fully.

Same with Naruto, Minato created the technique but Naruto mastered it fully with his own style of it.

You can debate who is better with Chidori, Kakashi or Sasuke, but no one denies that Sasuke has a different skillset of Chidori than Kakashi's skillset of Chidori.

Hell, you could even take it as far as Amaterasu with Itachi since Itachi uses Amaterasu differently than Sasuke and he was technically the first user of it (at least that we know of cause we don't know if MS abilities repeat throughout history). No one says that Itachi and Sasuke use Amaterasu the same way even if we disregard Kagutsuchi. They have their distinct style with the jutsu.

Minato and Tobirama are different ninjas

I’m not saying he’s stronger than Yuta, Yuta overall just does things better than Kashimo, while only really losing to raw physicals and hax maybe.

However, I don’t really see how Yuta can win this most of the time without pre knowledge. Yuta usually never goes all out at first since it’s risky, and he’s most likely to engage with H2H combat. Kashimo was relative to JP Hakari in physicals. While he was definitely weaker than Hakari in physicals, he was going on par with him. I don’t think Yuta has stronger physicals than JP Hakari or Kashimo. Hakari has the natural stat buff from infinite cursed energy as well as being on max output constantly. Unless you think that Hakari has bottom tier output then Kashimo being able to go relative is extremely impressive. Yuta is definitely faster, but not to the point where he’d be outspeeding Kashim enough to where he can’t touch him 3 times, especially in base. Kashimo would get 3 hits and it’s pretty much over from there unless he hits a really minor area like yuta’s hands or something. I don’t think Yuta can heal his gut fast enough if Kashimo is pressuring him after lightning discharge, and if he hits his head it’s over.

Kenjaku knows what Kashimo does and he’s not going to engage physically with him. He will spam curses from range which is really bad for Kashimo because he has very low ranged options. If Kenjaku needs to, then his domain absolutely annihilates Kashimo.
