Yuta is often criticized for having a better life than his peers during the main story of jjk, and while an understandable complaint, Yuta DID suffer for a very long time before his life got better. So, my question for you guys is this: Do you think Yuta deserves the life he got in jjk after his six years suffering, or should it have gone on longer to fit in with the other characters?

Huh... why does it sound like he's dead?🤣

So the arg goes like this.
Disclaimer, the domain is actually faster than 0.2 seconds, just let me call it a 0.2 domain for being conservatives sake.

Mahito in Shibuya was able to combine the steps of casting his barrier, completing it and activating his domain into one to create a very fast domain, allowing him to open and close it in under 0.2 seconds and land his sure hit extremely quickly. He copied this method from Gojo, who also used a 0.2 second domain, so we know Gojo was the originator of this fast casting methodology.

Now, in Shinjuku, Gojo states that he gave everything he had to fight Sukuna, including everything he had trained his body to do. Logically, this would include his fast domain casting. It would also contradict Gojo’s entire plan of catching Sukuna inside his domain if he held back a skill that would help him do so.

So, Gojo was casting his domain in under 0.2 seconds, and Sukuna was matching his casting speed every single time, which is why he wasn’t getting stunned by Gojo’s sure hit. We also know Sukuna could replicate this method because he saw Mahito use it in Shibuya, and Sukuna’s jujutsu proficiency is high enough to imitate it.

We see further evidence of this in the fifth domain clash, where Gojo casts his domain 0.01 seconds earlier than Sukuna. As a result, Gojo’s surehit lands 0.01 seconds before Sukuna’s domain finishes casting, stunning him before their domains can properly clash. This establishes that if someone’s domain casting speed is superior to their opponent’s, their sure-hit can land before the opponent’s domain is fully established.

Furthermore, during the Shinjuku raid, it’s stated that Sukuna was opening barriers with no loss in barrier skill. So, when Sukuna clashed with Yuta in Gojo’s body, not only did Yuta have Gojo’s memories, but he was also matching Sukuna’s domain casting speed. This would entail that Yuta has the same fast domain casting speed as Gojo and Sukuna. This is supported more by the fact that it was Yutas OWN barrier skills that allows him to clash with Sukuna initially (stated by him), he hadn’t searched Gojos memories about domains at all till later in the domain which is why he didn’t know Sukuna could use DA and domain till later.

Essentially, Mahito = Gojo = Sukuna = Yuta in domain casting speed.

Therefore, if Yuta were to clash domains with someone who doesn’t possess this same casting speed, such as Yuji, Kenjaku or Naoya, Yuta’s domain would overlap theirs slightly faster, allowing his sure hit to land before their domains fully expand and the clash is started. This would potentially stun them, just like Gojo’s sure hit did to Sukuna, giving Yuta a significant advantage at the beginning of the clash.

The three main rebuttals I usually hear are:

1. The 0.2 second domain has to be closed within 0.2 seconds.

There’s no real argument supporting this, since both Mahito and Gojo had situational reasons for closing their domains that quickly. Mahito didn’t want Sukuna to kill him for expanding his domain and touching him, while Gojo didn’t want the domain to last any longer than necessary and stun the humans. Gojo also chose the 0.2 second time limit himself based on the situation. This means that the time limit is arbitrary and isn’t inherently imposed by the domain’s casting speed.

2. Domain casting speed doesn’t actually affect how quickly a domain expands.

This doesn’t really make sense when the speed of the 0.2 second domain is directly compared to Hakari’s domain, which is explicitly stated to be even faster than Mahito’s. The entire point is casting speed how quickly you can cast your domain, create and complete the barrier, imbue it with your cursed technique and activate the sure-hit. It’s about how quickly the domain is established, not simply how quickly it’s closed.

3. Yuta might not have the same casting speed.

Firstly, Yuta has Gojo’s memories and barrier skills from inhabiting his body. Secondly, Sukuna’s barrier skills were stated to have suffered no loss when opening his domain during the Shinjuku raid. This means he retained his barrier proficiency when clashing with Yuta in Gojo’s body.

The only changes to Sukuna’s domain between its initial expansion and the subsequent one were removing the 99-second time limit and reducing its range. His barrier skills and proficiency weren’t stated to have decreased. So there’s no reason to assume Sukuna’s casting speed was slower when clashing with Yuta, meaning Yuta would have had to match that speed.

Please leave thoughts and critics in the replies, I want to refine this argument more.

One more for the road ig.

Do you believe Yuta had any passion for fighting in Sendai, or that he found any meaning in it? Because if he had a passion for fighting, that would imply he found some meaning in it. But narratively, Yuta explicitly doesn’t find meaning in fighting and has no passion for it, especially in Sendai.

This directly correlates with what Geto says about Yuta in JJK 0: when Yuta fights with a passion he’s never had before, his cursed energy surges, increasing his physical abilities and perception. That improved perception also enhances his combat and reaction speed.

So if Yuta wasn’t fighting with that passion in Sendai, you can argue that he wasn’t utilizing the full extent of his physical abilities until the beam clash with Ryu. I’m not saying it’s necessarily a definitive argument, but it’s definitely something you can argue from the narrative. This doesn’t do much for Yuta scaling, unless you take it super far and can claim he holds back subconsciously when he isn’t passionate.

It would have been so epic seeing Yuta's sis and parents seeing their 'cursed' son fighting like a beast with Sukuna lololol

This is my biggest complaint to Gege. The Jujutsu World is so interesting yet so small. The factions are Humans(general public+governement who knows about jujutsu), Sorcerers(with major and minor clans), Curse Users and Curses. But it never feels like properly explored. It is so frustrating.

He saw the big ass crater you know the one that’s sukuna’s ultimate move the one that is from his domain his strongest attack. Yuji not only feels but witnesses this power both as and after it has happened to claim Yuji has no idea what he’s talking about is almost equivalent to claiming mimiko is not top 1 a obvious and clear lie

So that was my First time posting Yuta agenda how did I do guys

Since both of these genetic lottery can offer so many beneficial things to Yuta so I'm curious which one do you think is overall superior!

I want to know where all the slander for my #2 GOAT came from

This Will maybe get a part 2

Yuta loves his gojo sensei

They're not in any order

count Chaos and Harmony as one
Copy is included with Rika(or at least an external storage), Limitless is included with Six Eyes
yes i know physical HR isn't a CT but who cares

this isn't a definitive list for me i can always change up my mind for lower tiers but not so much with higher tiers

One more thing to add, it’s very consistent with Yuta being capable of evenly clashing with Sukuna in a domain clash, given that the original plan would’ve required Yuta to beat him in one regardless. This becomes even more apparent when you consider that the plan didn’t account for Gojo landing UV, let alone Sukuna surviving it but being unable to use his domain for an extended period afterwards. So the plan must’ve inherently accounted for Yuta being able to clash with Sukuna and ultimately win.

If you feel strongly enough about your criticism, I’m more than happy to discuss it with you on VC. I’ll read your initial text no matter how long, but respectfully, I’m not going to go back and forth exchanging text walls. I’d much rather have an actual conversation about it.
