just to clarify yuta is either top 3-4 imo as the only real contender for the third place is kenny and yuta.

STATS

during shinjuku hes the 2nd person to actually do damage to sukuna after gojos death, the other being higuruma with the help of yuji. during the absence of yuji he landed blows on sukuna, made his bottom mouth cough up blood with one punch and inside his domain landed a TIB and dhruvs shikigami all before yujis intervention.

this makes his feats for that portion much better than either kashimo or yuji who are HH tier characters. after yujis assistance he lands multiple blows yet again, saves yuji twice from death while yuji cant save him/doesnt need to and his plan actually works, until megumi throws that is.

here yuta is showcasing relative stats to yuji and rika being stronger than yuta would in turn be HH tier as well as she scales with yuta.

even before this he could throw hands with ryu who has the best physicals outside of the calamity grades, being praised by sukuna and remembered for his toughness.

ABILITIES

yuta has the most broken abilities in the verse, being able to copy anyones CT. he has sky manipulation that essentially nullifies H2H combat from the enemy, seen with uro as the only way that yuta could bypass uros defences was to stunlock her and pumble her before reusing her technique. before rikas involvement she was hit a total of zero times.

yuta has cursed speech to be able to stun enemies so they cant fight back for a period of time and receives no drawbacks unlike inumaki since his insane CE pool is only 2nd to that of sukuna.

dhruvs shikigami is a surehit that neglects the usage of CE reinforcement and indiscriminantly cuts anything inside the orbital domains. its an invisible pathway that even sukuna got caught in. making those that are tougher than him or use armor (yorozu) nearly bsolite in terms of their advantage.

jacobs ladder is a CT that disrupts CTs and barrier techniques, a perfect counter for the likes of slow moving CTs like perfect sphere or domains in general. the charge up time isnt lightspeed but the technique itself is, people in jujutsu kaisen are only mach 3 at maximum unless you are calamity grades so its a viable technique to use anytime.

RCT / output

reverse cursed techniques output is something thats essentially broken. it acts like poison for curses and it disrupts the usage of CTs as seen when yorozus liquid metal became unusable when piercing ox used it.

yutas RCT is also one of the most advanced forms ever, healing makis limbs, his own severed fingers instantly and also counteracts poisons, making the poison from blood manipulation become just a tedious thing to keep track of rather than a threatening variable.

Rika

as i mentioned before rika is stated to be as strong or stronger than yuta, having stats that rival ryus and can even cave his skull in with a single punch when fully manifested. this would mean that yuta has an ally at all times that can rival the other heavy hitters if not just outstat them fully.

even partial rika could hold down sukuna until yuta could analyze the battlefield fully, keep that weakened sukuna busy and also could hold two out of sukunas four arms pinned so he couldnt escape jacobs ladder.

not only that but partial rika cant really be harmed unless you one shot her (like ryu did when she was off gaurd) as she just heals passively.

fully manifested rika has RCT output as well with her RCT being potent enough to keep yuta alive while his body was split in half and even missing a vital part (that being the brain)

an assumption could also be made that partial rika also has RCT output but on a lower level as she was needed for kenjaku and we see her touching the curses and them exploding.

rikas output is lower than yutas though as we can estimate during sendai when they were charging the true love beam. when both of them combined their outputs the beam was nearly equal to that of ryus which is a crazy feat not talked about nearly enough as ryus granite blasts can effectively destroy entire city blocks as seen with his initial one that catches yuta and uro off gaurd.

when she tries to use it by her lonesome ryu can block it halfheartedly and says its weak. this leads to another point in modulo later on.

Domain refinement and skill

yutas domain refinement is top tier only being weaker than gojo, sukuna and kenjakus most likely. his siill in barrier techniques include shifting coordinates, singling out people from the surehit, and having the skill to break apart a domains shell wherever he pleases.

after the part where he takes gojos body he performs the basketball domain as well and calls it ”his” meaning its not gojos bodys doing but rather his own. during this instance he scans gojos memories bit by bit and carefully as he said himself, this is where some headcanons can be thrown however im including them only because its fun to think about, the rest of this is just speculation. he could have these now.

flowing blossom emotion

simple domain

RCT his technique instead of his body

now to another fun part about his rapid recovery in terms of burnout. ryu and uro are shown to not have recovered theough the clash of domains and uro gets sidelined early on, ryu also comments that yuta couldnt have recovered that fast since he hasnt either and fires his granite blast, but yuta had recovered. ”already” implying it was like that for at the very least a few seconds before he charged ryu.

thats insane since with that type of recovery speed he wouldnt even need to RCT his burnt out technique in theory.

STATEMENTS AND NARRATIVE

yuta is stated to be 2nd to gojo in the modern era in terms of jujutsu during sendais opening. gojo entrusting him with the other students is also proof of his ability and strength. gojo stating that hes going to surpass himself one day and also being a deacendant from both the fujiwara and sugawara is proof of it, gojo calling it a blessing even more than himself.

if it was only this i would be ok with people disagreeing but during the promotional manga cover of the fight between yujo and sukuna it stated ”the modern eras superpower and the king of curses face off in different forms!”. this would mean that after the death of gojo, yuta is now the modern eras strongest as a superpower means that no one else is stronger than you.

”a face off in different forms” is also implying that even without the different forms they would still be the same, title wise. this means that it cannot be the added effect of being in gojos body giving him the title.

THE HAKARI STATEMENT

its a point worth tackling since hakari fanboys still think it means that hakari is stronger than yuta which doesnt make sense given that both the narrator and maki disagree with this later on.

what this statement entails is that yuta is saying that hakari during multiple runs of jackpot is stronger than yuta alone. when yuta speaks about the combined efforts of him AND rika he beings her up as an individual not as his own personal ”strength”. this is far more credible since all the HH are relative in stats, why would hakari be as strong as two of those tier of fighters as a team as i established earlier on?

todo also mentions yuta during the exchange event, and says that the third years (hakari) were replacements for him.

KASHIMOS SUREHIT

this will be a controversal topic but tbh, idc. kashimos surehit doesnt bypass reinforcement, it wouldnt make sense for it to do so as MBA kashimo against TF sukuna would have used it atleast once if it did and even against a heavily damaged meguna it most likely didnt do damage seeing as how sukuna could transform.

kashimo is a lethal attacker, he goes for finishing blows whenever he can and as quickly as possible. him not aiming for the stomach (housing CE) or the head (housing RCT) would make zero sense. if he did and his surehit was dura negation sukuna wouldnt be able to perform RCT if it was the head or wouldnt be able to perform anything if it hit the stomach as seen with gojo and yuta (yuta needing outside healing from rika for example)

the ”surehit” is also just a biproduct of his CE trait, meaning it has nothing to do with an amp in CTs. what does this tell us? ryu with the highest CE output should in theory be able to posses even more lethal firepower since its just raw CE from both people, no enhancement of techniques in sight.

the only people the surehit has been effective against is panda (who isnt all that strong) and hakari whose durability is questionable given he could be pierced by charles. sukuna whose reserves were equal or slightly below yutas at this point is tanking it no problem and its a ”oneshot”?

the problem with it as well is the fact he needs contact, which yuta wouldnt let him have if he just goes into the battle wanting to kill kashimo from the get go like most vs matchups do. not only that but the fact kashimo has zero speed feats worth noting has me questioning why people think hes ”blitz” tiers faster than the HHs while TF sukuna was giving belt to ass while with yuta and tagteaming higuruma and yuji were doing just fine?

i could see him holding back more against higuruma and yuji but i cant say the same against someone who could damage sukuna so casually.

MY top 10

sukuna>=

gojo>>>

yuta>=

kenjaku>

yorozu>

yuki>=

MBA kashimo>=

yuji>

maki

uraume/hakari

keep in mind that jjk is heavily influenced by matchups, someone like uto whose top 15 could easily beat hakari or maki but isnt getting close to uraume. the top 5 are top 5 simply because they can ignore matchups as a whole because of their hax or abilities in general and each of them have some form of heavy KO move.

gojo has HP, sukuna has Fuga and WCS, kenjaku has a maximum technique and the most refined domain, yuta has JL and TLB, yorozu has PS and even yuki whos top 6 imo has black hole.

anyways bye!

EDIT

sidenote on modulo, with rikas slash equalling yujis dismantle and rika having lower output than yuta, even if we say rika tried harder than yuji it would still make it seem like gege was intentionally showcasing it to tell the reader that the previous generation was surpassed by BOTH yuji AND yuta.

also no rika didnt put all thw 40+ years of CE into one swing, if she did the CE in the ring wouldnt be enough to affect the entire world. also output is how much of your CE you can use at once. rika doesnt have that as an output cuz that would legit be insane if it was since that would mean yuta has the same output or even more. you would need to say that rika had INSANE efficiency which would in turn be an upscale aince they would still need the insane CE in the ring anyways.

what happened to the whole toro situation? im genuinely asking, is he legit? is he cheating? what news could mrekk have recived during his stream that not even chicony could know about? is it just accepted that he isnt cheating?

anybody have maps i can grind?

on the site it doesnt say anything but i saw a tweet that said it would happen this week? is anytjing confirmed?

just as the title shows, i want to make/have a collection with only hybrid maps in order to improve both aim and streaming simultaneously. or is there a collection on a site i can download?

lazer is freezing and just jittering in between frames. i get frame drops from 300 all the way down to 20 in split second intervals. idk what to do and i heard that lazer allows 1000 fps so how do i achieve that???

it was insane to watch so idk how a 1.3k and potential 2.1k isnt being posted bru

ty😁

my favs from him are mou ii kai, shinbatsu, ice angel and ascension to heaven. there are more but i love those ones specifically cuz its iconic, cool and showcases the fact that hes an amazing all rounded player!

what speed scores (raw tapping BPM, length or others) are you favs? and do you think he can achieve those scores again or even gap them after a few days of derusting his speed?

is going for scores like ivaxa or toro doable for an mrekk that grinds speed for a few weeks or lets say months? id love the answers to all of this!😊😊😊

this is a genuine question. like, rikas output is leagues below yutas alone judging by the true love beam in sendai and rika in modulo is just blatantly rivaling yujis dismantle when connected to tsurugi??? the same tsurugi that just doesnt have CE, isnt outputting it well at all and just has a semi restriction like maki did?

it makes no sense dismissing this when gege clearly included it to show how both yuji AND yuta were no joke and became good enough to rival the likes of gojo and sukuna in their later years. the implications are there, the story is strengthening this claim even in og jj when gojo repeatedly says yuta and yuji will surpass him how yuta has more talent than himself.

This is going to be a long post, sorry. im going to go through characters that people think are above yuta EOS or cant be hurt by him (mahito) and then im going to voice my points about how modulo yuta that got weaker as time went on after makis death is actually a massive upscale.

mahito:

yes yuta can affect mahito, he has RCT output and not only that in the opening statements of when mahito battled nanami he said that strong and advanced sorcerers reflexively know and defend their souls. if nanami a grade 1 sorcerer with no advanced techniques can defend his soul to that level its safe to assume that by mahitos logic someone like yuta could use RCT output and instinctively augment mahitos soul.

not only that but sukuna being able to damage mahitos soul with only his CT is also another valid argument that stronger sorcerers know of the soul. yuta bounding a soul to him as a child is also a strong case to make.

kashimo MBA:

in MBA kashimo is a HH fighter and has stats that rival them, however it doesnt bode well for him that yuta was brawling with a sukuna that no diffed that kashimo but he even landed the first major blow against sukuna. the ones that say MBA kashimo is blitz tier above anyone is crazy since if that was the case yuta wouldnt have been able to land that hit and wouldnt be able to hold sukuna off inside his domain.

the sure hit that kashimo has isnt a 1 hit KO either like most think it is. his surehit is a bi-product of his CE trait and CT, and CTs can be resisted by high end fighters like we see with hakari being able to nullify kashimos CE trait with only his output (no hakari doesnt have infinite output in JP, he has infinite CE. if i have a lake and a bucket, you wouldnt say the bucket was huge, you would say the lake is)

if 1 hp sukuna who is far weaker than TF sukuna and has the same reserves as yuta could tank the surehit from an MBA kashimo so can yuta. not only that but if kashimos lore and characteristics didnt just vaporize in that moment he would have opted to target a vital area like the stomach housing CE or the head that has RCT. if either was damaged he wouldnt be able to transform since the circuits for CE would be severed but it wasnt. (ik hakari healed from the surehit in the stomach however that was the side of the torso, not the entire abdominal area which an MBA kashimo should be able to do against hakari atp)

a JL would distinguish MBA so he would also die but even so, yuta could stall and or just use CS and have kashimo inside a red combo (ABA reference)

yuji EOS (idk why):

for reference when scaling this yuji people tend to use feats against as sukuna that even kusakabe and ino could box with and survive which is dumb since with each punch yuji was distancing the souls of megumi and sukuna so it wasnt even power related just a specific trait that let him win in that moment.

the scaling ill chose is from the 0 fatigue yuji at the beginning. this yuji has comparable stats to yuta, even better physicals since yuta was inside his domain so yuji would most definatly take stats. but when i hear people say that yuji is like much much stronger than yuta it irks me since yuta inside his domain needed to protect and save yuji multiple times where as yuji didnt save yuta a single time. and even if yuji outstats one yuta level fighter, two yuta level fighters is too much for basically anyone of the HHs.

a domain clash is out of the question since yuta has comparable domain refinement as gojo EOS since he can use the basketball domain after rumaging ALL of gojos memories. yujis domain was big in scale which is terrible barrier technique.

also with yutas arsenal of CTs its pretty much a no brainer.

Hakari:

hakari is a heavy hitter that gets compared to yuta by not just yuta himself but gojo was well. but this controversy started by one statement from yuta, that being "when hes on a roll, hes even stronger than me" which im going to attempt to debunk. yuta in reference to this only brings himself up, not rika into the equation. every time yuta refers to the strength he can wield w rika its always a conjunction of the two, not only him.

not only that but maki directly and instantly dismisses his statement by saying "thats impossible". maki isnt the type of person we see ignore strength, its always the opposite. whether its her own lacking strength against megumi to be head or the fact that she wants to marry someone strong, her desire and admiration for strength is pure.

if only statements apply yuta has a more varried and more solid basis than hakari since the narrator is the one that states yutas strength not just a character in the story.

also the "on a role" bit is obviously in regards to JP, a role being 3 or more in context. which would be pretty accurate since while yuta does have immense reserves and technique, battling someone that can constantly advance is going to take a toll on you sooner or later, which is why the 5mm would kind of be the end all be all.

not only does yuta also gain boundless CE but he also now has access to CTs like JL or CS to stun hakari or break his domain. as with yuji, two yuta level opponents is kind of a death sentence for 99% of the verse.

Kenjaku:

the most discussed topic of the top 3 debate is between kenjaku and yuta for good reason. kenjaku having 1000 years of experience and the best barrier techniques vs the modern eras superpower after gojos death would have been super exciting to watch in the last arc since it was hyped up for a long time.

but im here to vouch in favor of yuta (wouldnt be mad if people put kenny above tbh, its just that yuta has more wincons as im going to discuss here)

kenjaku is stated by tengen to be a better barrier user than herself, which would mean a domain clash is not in favor of yuta in normal circumstances but the way people go about it makes me a bit mad. yes kenny would win a domain clash but not in the way you think, he sint sukuna, he isnt going to break the domain of a person that has a refinement equal to that of the strongest of today.

kenjaku doesnt have the output nor the reserves to do the scale of which sukuna does his open domain. and yuta has counters for open domains being the basketball domain and JL which distinguishes barrier techniques. since kenjakus barrier is open it would be far easier to utilize JL against it since the sky is the anchor to the technique.

as for kenjakus CSM yuta and rika both have RCT output rendering all of the cursed spirits kenny has useless as we see bc of why yuta was chosen to go and kill kenny when the cursed spirits escaped. not only that but before shinjuku and in the strategy talks choso would 100% give the information about kenjaku to yuta, sorcerers are con artists, if there isnt anything kenjaku can utilize that yuta cannot predict its over.

anti gravity is tricky though but because its a short ranged move and their stats are pretty relative, yuta could use CS to faint kenny or even land a "dont move" to avoid it or just use clairvoyance from charles to be able to see kennys next moves.

again, this fight is basically a low resolution gojo v sukuna. its jsut that yuta is the sukuna in this situation.

-MODULO:-

during modulo when rika finally comes out and helps tsurugi we see both rika and yuji charge up attacks in the same page and then it cuts to two giant explosions in the regions where they both were at the time. this to me indicates that what gege wanted to convey was that a prime yuta and yuji would be relative to each other since rika with a simple sword swing of pure unrefined CE could match a CT in prowess.

even if you wanted to say that rika tried much harder than yuji, my counter argument would be that CE is much more fierce and harder to output strongly than CTs. case and point ryu and sukuna. ryu was stated to have the highest CE output in history and later, was stated to have the most in the culling games, sukuna being a registered player as well. but we all know that ryus attacks of pure CE isnt as strong as sukunas dismantles for one good reason, the potancy of the attacks.

ryus CT only manipulates his CE to be able to control how it moves, sukunas CT amplifies his CE potential because its an offensive CT. if rika really did try much harder than yuji (which isnt really established at all) it wouldnt be an anti feat, it would actively strengthen the lore instead.

after the conclusion as well yutas ring was used to be able to affect the world the the extent that no more cursed spirits would emerge, meaning they used his ring as a catalyst because of the sheer volume of CE. there is nothing ever in the JJK universe that can affect the world in a single use, the fact yuta poured his CE into it for decades would have to be true and if thats the case, if he wore it and utilized that energy for himself it would be terrifying.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the modulo thing was included bc ive seen so many people reffer to "prime" yuta as EOS yuta which is absured since that yuta only has 1 year of jujutsu experience and was stated to be even more blessed than gojo.

also forgot to mention many statements to back up claims. during the cover where yuta and sukuna stand off against one another the cover in the raw japanese characters say "modern eras superpower and the king of curses, a face off in altered forms!" meaning yuta is the one called modern eras superpower, altered form meaning gojos body.

a superpower is refered to those that are the strongest or the most powerful.

not only that, the page where it states yuta as "2nd only to gojo in unnusual abilities" is mistranslated and or misunderstood. as far as the raw translation goes its accurate to say unnusual here but in context it would mean jujutsu abilities. the unnusual comes from all shounen when talking about their power systems
