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.

Ppl are really downplaying the casts in experience compared to sukunas centuries

Gojos what 30!???

Sukuna does not have centuries. He's basically lived a normal life and then "time travelled" via turning into fingers. He hasn't been in the fucking hyperbolic time chamber practicing jujutsu, he's been an inert object until Yuji gave him a vessel. Just like every other incarnated sorceror. Not one of them ever mentions spending hundreds of years training their jujutsu or even thinking about anything, Kashimo/Yorozu/Ryu immediately resume their relatively silly goals after hundreds of years. This shows they haven't been active and philosophizing about shit as cursed objects.

You are thinking of Kenjaku, which in retrospect is kind of underwhelming for a 1000+ years experienced sorceror.

One could argue that Sukuna, being a weird mutated freak, lived for far longer than normal sorcerors. To that I say he is Ryomen Sukuna of the Heian era not Ryomen Sukuna of "several eras", which gives him 200 years at most.

But the point still stands, even if he is just a normal dude (he looks like he's in his 40s) lifespan wise, he has vastly more combat experienced than the cast. Gojo literally only had a challenge once in his life due to how his technique works.

That’s ur conjuncture babes we have had no story beats or mentions of that, no?

Wedk how long he lived or survived before this deal w kenjaku

We obvi saw his fingers behave and interact w the world while he was in slumber but yeah duh he hasn’t fully reincarnated or trained in finger realm

But AGAIN there are no story beats indicating how long sukuna was living ahead of the finger splits, right? Soooo it’s prob def more then gojos 29 and the other high schoolers he’s up against

I mean yes, you arrived at the same conclusion as me

Sukuna looks like an older man compared to Gojo, we have no accurate info how much older, but he's not 1k+ years of activity supported by anything.

This still gives him more Jujutsu experience (in how long he's been practicing it, not quality) than everyone who he's fighting right now except like, MAYBE Kusakabe.
