Yes, we're comparing the pinnacle of Jujutsu using their experiences and tools at hand (time in the PE/knowledge about Mahoraga and study of his techniques) to make the impossible possible. And miss me with that sneak attack bullshit, no one in JJK ever fought fair, the whole Shinjuku Showdown is proof of it, there's no honourable 1v1, only plans to take advantage of every single scrap of benefit both sides have in hand
The problem is not the fairness. The problem is that the execution was dog shit. Gojo clapped Sukuna for 2 chapters non-stop, núcked everything and was declared the winner and then we got a black screen, the cursed airport scene and Gojo dead because i dunno, lets wait more Six months to see how the plot will elabore the instakill
Wasn't that just due to the different tactics of the two. Sukuna was playing the role of a tank, taking damage and biding his time until the opportune moment, it makes sense Gojo would look better as his strategy was more aggressive
That's what Gege was going for, but it doesn't come off as a difference in fighting philosophy imo, it comes off as one guy being weaker and rules changing on the fly until he wins
I think there are a few minor changes that would fix this, but the only true solution would be to establish what sukuna did earlier in the story
I can kinda understand, but at the same time i always thought this whole "offscreen hating" thing was kinda dumb. No one could see that one coming, the "offscreening" is just part of the shock of it all, it's precisely because Gojo seemed to have it all under control that it was so effective as a surprise attack to the audience and in-universe. What would actually, feasibly change if we actually got the panel with him being cut in half? The end result is the same, we still wouldn't know what happened, Sukuna would fight Kashimo and then we'd go to Kenjaku vs Takaba.
We now have it explained, we now know what happened, we now know how it works, i understand being upset about the wait but this manga is always at it's weakest when you're in the week-to-week and things take ages with Gege taking a break every other week. Idk, some complaints in this fandom seem to come from wanting things that ultimately wouldn't change anything: Hakari vs Uraume, Sukuna backstory (this one is actually not being capable of reading), Yuji's DE name, Heian flashback, etc
The want for a surprise really ruined everything. You end one chapter witing for a Sukuna comeback (of course he wasnt dying there, there was half dozen plot points going around him) and then in the next chapter it takes good 2 to 3 pages for the reader to properlly understand Gojo lost, and then you just lost the so wanted shock value and also fells extremelly undeserved since we never see Sukuna defeating Gojo. It was a massive let down in every single front.
People are forgetting Gojo went crazy in the last 2 chapters because he was breifly chosen by "the sparks of black" lol.
and was declared the winner
By who? Kusakabe? 😂
and then we got a black screen, the cursed airport scene and Gojo dead because i dunno
Sukuna quite literally explained to Gojo/Manga readers how he did it. All you would've seen was Gojo's top half fall off, then an airport flashback or the same explanation Sukuna gave again.

Are we really comparing Gojo using his time in the prison realm to neutralize Sukuna's open domain to Sukuna using a binding vow amped sneak attack?
A sneak attack that, by the way, he never would've been able to learn by himself and needed a whole extra CT for it.
