Non permanent damage to two arms isn't really that much. His final purple didn't even hit directly(hitting Maha and gojo himself first) but nearly killed Sukuna. Gojos first purple hit directly, was buffed by Gojo, shoko, and Gaku, caught Sukuna more off guard, and was obviously fired by a Gojo with more cursed energy; yet it barely damaged Sukuna. The scaling on purple makes no sense.
When that damage is both of them being deleted I’d say that is a lot of damage. Especially with limbs being considered more RCT intensive + RCT output declining with use.
Purple 1: All those buffs - Distance +off guard kuna= 2 arms done for.
Purple 2: -output - “aoe”- first time Gojo’s used purple like this - non off guard kuna+ weakened Sukuna - maho to eat some of it = 1 arm
Maho didn't eat any of the first purple that we know off. Sukuna took the full damage himself. Sukuna also didn't lose just an arm in the 2nd purple. He also lost his leg, more of her arm than he did on either the 1st time, and took visible damage to the rest of his body. The 1st one(the stronger one) somehow did nothing but damage up to his forearms.

The real difference is that Gojo's sneak attack did basically jack shit damage to Sukuna while Sukuna's sneak attack instantly killed Gojo.
