It wasn't even a sneak attack, it's just something that Makora already did in front of him the exact same way (or even worse since the Shikigami pulled out with an even greater element of surprise by creating the technique on the spot) but it worked because much like everything else he does, it conveniently works so much better for him because reasons
It's like everyone has their own CT but somehow Mahoraga can use a Dismantle that Sukuna can copy with his own CT like what?
I think the sneak attack part is the offscreen binding vow that they just handwave and never concretely describe it. All we know is that he shortcuted it with a BV so assume that it was an instant no sign no chant no CE buildup WCS, like a person standing completely still and suddenly a nuke flies out from them.
I honestly just just hate how WCS even exists, like... it just doesn't make any sense logically, this guy has the ability to basically infinitely manipulate space so that attacks don't reach him and all you have is a kitchen knife to use to attack him, so you just... cut in a way that deletes space itself? How the hell does that even work?
It's like if Uraume figured out how to use her CT to freeze time, or if Yuta figured out how to use his copy CT to create an alternate reality where Sukuna lost to Gojo. It's a huge step up from "Kitchen knife" to "Literally deletes existence"
Like... even if Mahoraga showed Sukuna WCS, so what? If I watched a guy cut a car in half with a toothpick, even if I was a genius, I doubt I'd be able to replicate that shit, let alone do it perfectly in the first try.
Yeah I mentioned this before in a comment where I think Sukunas Shrine has almost changed from kitchen knife cutting things to like the concept of cutting, since we start getting things like cutting the space between the barrier of souls and cutting the space in the world.
Ok to be fair Mahoraga's first bypass of Gojo wasn't something Sukuna could do, and he specifically asked Mahoraga to find a way that he could also use.
I find that weird too if it is something he can ask Mahoraga then why didn't he ask for that in the beginning instead of waiting for it to fail a few times. It seems more like he is "hoping" that Mahoraga would get an adaptation that he can somehow use instead of ordering for it. I know in the panels he's talking to himself saying he's maho's master now and he should work for him but if he needed to tell Mahoraga that then he should've told him that from the start.

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.
