just because you don't like it doesn't mean he's not a top 10 contender.

reminder of the things we have to get through in the Charles fight:

> Charles’ backstory

> Charles and Hakari talking on the farris wheel

> Charles and Hakari fighting outside of the domain (with a lot of dialogue).

> Hakari’s domain explanation (this shit will probably take several minutes)

> the fight inside the domain expansion.

> Charles’ big stab and Hakari’s near-death experience.

That’s a lot of shit to get through, about an episode’s worth of content, maybe a little more or less.

My prediction is that the episode will either start with a quick scene of Kashimo beating up Panda, and end with Hakari showing up, or will start and end with the Charles fight, meaning he won’t be offscreened as that would be a little bit jarring to watch.

yes there are edge cases like Yaga and possibly Dhruv and the smallpox deity having mid stats and being special grade, but the overwhelming majority of the time special grades are distinctly superior in all aspects including stats and it’s shown multiple times throughout the series.

People will argue shit like ”author’s intent” with far less evidence than this, but Gege clearly shows on multiple separate occasions that special grades have better stats than grade 1s 99% of the time

People use this page as proof 3F Sukuna is relative to Toji, which is stupid as shit.

For starters, Megumi says “He brought me out here before I knew what happened!” This is literally him describing the sensation of being perception blitzed, meaning Toji is too fast for him to perceive, meaning that he cannot meaningfully compare Toji’s and 3F Sukuna’s speed as they are both too fast for him to see.

Megumi then says it’s possible that Toji is faster than 3F Sukuna, meaning that he can’t say for certain that Toji and Sukuna are even relative in speed (which again makes sense because Megumi can perceive neither of these guys.)

And if you think Megumi is able to legitimately react to either of them turn your attention to the second page where he gets perception blitzed by a fucking finger bearer.

Stop trying to upscale 3F Sukuna to top 15, he’s not that strong.

Jogo and Hanami should have been slimed here if we’re being fr. Gojo is not only way faster than Hanami, he also really doesn’t want innocents to die, so I see no reason he’d be this willing to just let her go. Plus he can see the vestiges that Hanami leaves behind, meaning he should be able to trail her quite easily, even if she’s far enough away that he can’t sense her.

I was thinking about it and realized that even though Tonpa is clearly weaker than the characters that actually passed like Kurapika, Tonpa may actually be strong enough to pass the hunter exam.

For reference, he still ran the ~100km through the tunnel and through the forest, travelled with the main four through the third phase‘s obstacle course, and only failed after facing Kurapika.

And this is also not considering the fact that the version of the hunter exam we saw in the show was specifically stated to be substantially harder than in previous years, a direct comparison would be the usual 40km run being way longer, and having stairs at the end, plus being continued through the foggy forest place.

Leorio also mentions a statistic that says that one person actually passes the exam every three years, implying there are usually very very few applicants that are even worthy of the easier hunter exam, among those people, Tonpa might even stand out.

Tonpa also manages to SURVIVE failing the hunter exam every time, despite the fact that the hunter exam is quite deadly, and many of the applicants who fail just straight up die, implying that he usually goes out on his own terms, and it’s not necessarily because he’s too weak to continue.

All of this is to say, Tonpa may legitimately be hunter level, and he may not be fodder like we may have initially suspected of him.

first list is a tier list for every character by Shibuya, second list is a general EOS list.

Neither of these lists are actually my personal opinion, I only made these lists out of stuff that I see commonly on this sub, so even though I might think certain characters should be placed higher or lower, I intentionally left them in more agreeable positions so you could see my thought process on why the series is powercrept, and people wouldn't get hung up on stupid little shit like "Kashimo needs to be higher" like stfu that's not the point of the fucking post you dumb ape.

Strong Shibuya characters like Jogo and Mahito fall off from top 5 contenders to barely hanging onto top 15, while Dagon, Geto, and Hanami in particular basically fall off the face of the earth.

Most of the characters that make up the top 15 are characters that are either new characters like Yorozu and Kashimo, or returning characters who got more feats/statements. On the Shinjuku list in particular, only Jogo and Mahito are returning characters that didn't get anything new from CG or Shinjuku, and they have been bumped from top 5 contenders to top 15, and are generally eclipsed by characters who would have initially been seen as below them, like Uraume and Yuta.

I would also like to point out, that the Shibuya list is just what I'd assume the average reasonable person would have the list as, and it's not necessarily a completely accurate depiction of what people may have thought at the time.

Also, no I didn't misnumber the second list, Maki and Toji count as one person.

For AP, please don’t say anything regarding maximum meteor, that attack isn’t fast enough to even hit grade ones, he’d never pull it off in a real fight.

For durability, please don’t bring up feats he has against characters who were holding back on him. Some people say “he survived binding vow amped red”, but Gojo’s goal in that fight was never to kill him, so it’s an unscalable red.

For speed, any feat, or statement is fine.

For all stats, chainscaling is perfectly acceptable as long as you can prove that Jogo is stronger than the character you’re comparing him to (or if it’s obvious like comparing his speed to choso or some shit).

In my opinion, Jogo is one of the most oversold characters on this sub, but I’d love to see things the way other people do if it’d make my list better.

edit: don’t scale anime Jogo, and don’t confuse DC with AP, please.
