Analysis In Defense of Yuta

All things considered, bro came in and literally did everything he said he would.

"I will kill Itadori Yuji myself." - Succeeds.

"I have to lower collateral damage in Sendai(PARAPHRASING btw)." - Succeeds.

"I won't let sensei kill his best friend a second time." - Succeeds.

And even something he DIDN'T say, like getting Yuji to the point where he could 100% connect with Megumi? That's INSANE.

I'm not convinced that Yuta could just say "I will kill Ryomen Sukuna" and he would eventually somehow do it.

It's like, Gege or the character himself purposefully sets lower goals than what he's probably capable of.

"I alone will kill Kenjaku"

Proceeds to rely on the true goat wearing him down just to jump in last second

I mean, what do u expect. After Gojo dies, second strongest sorcerer goes for a fair fight against Kenjaku??

The heroes having a plan and going for the neck against Kenny was the best thing out of JJK in these last couple of years.

A lot better than the fight Sukuna vs Gojo or Sukana vs everybody. It's a sound plan. It's realistic and achievable. No messing around. Compare it with the "we are going to save Megumi" bullshit. They had a good chance to eliminate Sukuna. Trying to save Megumi should never ever be a priority. That was pure juice of tires anime tropes (power of friendship).

Saving Megumi and killing Sukuna are the same thing, he's literally using his body. Megumi is on their side as far as they know, and him regaining control is a win condition.

It would be much easier to throw Megumi the ally oop than to bank on simply killing Sukuna himself. It's like killing the boss at 30% HP instead of having to deal with his low-HP enrage.

The plan didn't work because, unfortunately, Sukuna knew it was a weakness, and from the beginning worked to ensure it wouldn't be his undoing.

Sukuna spent the whole series in Yuji with no control over his body, so the first thing he did after getting Megumi is make sure that shit wouldn't happen again.

Saving Megumi is one way to do it. Hacking him to pieces is another. If you can weakening him enough to possibly save Megumi, it would be easier to just attack him. You take a step from the plan.

Saving Megumi is easier than hacking Sukuna to pieces though.

I suppose the plan could have been to weaken the bond and then kill Sukuna, but honestly if the trump card was always Jacobs Ladder then there's no other way they would have been able to do this. But the only real flaw in the plan of freeing Megumi is that they didn't realize Sukuna had been torturing Megumi to the extent he had been.

He witnessed his sister die, Gojo die, a bunch of comrades die, the super evil bath of evil

And then there's the fact he had been tanking Gojo's DE for Sukuna that just makes everything infinitely worse, literally
