Wouldnโt you be a bit shook if you saw your long dead nephew coming back just like that as a fighting puppet ? I donโt think it implies Naobito was really scared of Toji the past real one.
Naobito was clearly portrayed as being wary of Toji and being out of his league, in a negative sense.
Naobito even helped Toji to finish Dagon faster
Yeah but Toji did the most work lol. Naobito only stopped him from fleeing once while Toji was crushing Dagon. Dagon was getting his ass blasted by Toji all throughout the fight. Toji dealt with Dagon's hardest shikigami easily. Naobito's role in Dagon's defeat is as minimal as it gets.
Jogo had likely more destructive power (without domain) but speed wise they were either equal or Naobito was faster.
Jogo definitely had more destructive power lol. Speed wise they might have been equal but not only can Jogo instantly destroy him when he connects a hit, Naobito would struggle to put down Jogo. The fight wouldn't have been that difficult for Jogo at all.
Without domain Naobito was playing ping pong with Dagon. Dagon didnโt hesitate to pull out his domain immediately because he knew he was outmatched. In the first stage of the fight Naobito was really impressive (outpacing Nanami, saving Maki, creating windows for other and stomping Dagon).
And even if Dagon was inferior to Jogo and co we are still talking about a really strong special cursed spirit.
It's not an if, it's a definite lol. Jogo was on another level to Dagon. Dagon was clearly the weakest of the curses while Jogo the strongest.
As impressive as Naobito was, and he was, these are different leagues and levels.
Dagon was also fighting in a battle with multiple opponents. Naobito wouldn't be able to perform as good as he did in a 1 on 1. Naobito noted how even 2 grade 1 sorceres cannot exorcise Dagon
How they need to attack Dagon with speed all the time and not give him the chance to use his techs or it's over
Jogo also tanked a red (from a much stronger Gojo) and he was durability wise weaker than Hanami or Dagon.
Red is a strong attack but nothing amazingly strong. Gojo has much stronger attacks when he is serious : he erased Hanami from existence with pressuring her, he has purple, and his max physical strength with curse energy, even blue seems deadlier. Red is not weak at all but it is tankable.
Yeah but you are comparing curses who not only have better durability but also cursed energy to protect themselves. Toji is a human without curse techniques. His durability, endurance etc are all things that are his own, and not augmented by cursed energy.
Comparing a human to someone like curses isn't a good argument imo.
We already talked about that and I think Tojo went for Megumi because he is his son.
We did and I disagree. Your argument relies on the fact that you are calling the narrator a liar. Like legit that lol. There's no need to confuse us like that. Just look at the panel.
Gege chose to repeat this once again after saying it in chapter 110
Clearly emphasizing the idea of what Toji was doing. And it's clearly seen. Toji shows up and starts demolishing Dagon, the strongest guy there, after Dagon is done, Toji goes for the next strongest, which is Megumi.
There's no argument around that. Megumi was clearly the strongest around which is why Toji went for him.
Why did Toji end up in this exact spot with Dagon and all when you have guys like Mahito, Fake geto, Jogo around.
Because Dagon was the nearest strongest person to Toji.
As I said there's no argument around the fact that the narrator informed us twice of what Toji was doing and that Megumi was chosen due to his strength.
And he toyed with a tired Megumi without Domain. Naobito is quite stronger than that Megumi.
I mean Toji just finished whopping a curse and demolishing a jujutsu sorcerer prior to it lol. Also Megumi said that even if his domain was working it wasn't strong enough to stop Toji
Megumi wasn't even slightly a challenge for Toji, he himself even knew it
and as I said a few times he was the strongest guy around.
He just witnessed Toji flexing on Dagon, megumi is at his limit, Naobito lost an arm and Himself an eye. Even if Toji was ยซ just ยป Dagon level he would have been a huge problem.
Let me ask you this way. Do you think Ogi Naobito and Naoya are a stronger team than a team of Naobito Nanami Maki and Megumi?
Either way, as I said, saying Toji loses to them is unfounded.
Just an extra thought here : Ougi PTSD was really strong fighting Maki when he felt Toji and as such he fought in a stupid manner. I donโt know if something would have changed but he was a lot more careful when Maki first fight him: In their first encounter he used ยซ falling blossom emotion ยป to cover himself with curse energy and react to anything Maki could throw at him on contact.
in the second fight he went for the all in immediately and was reckless as fuck.
And what do you think would happen if he were to fight the real Toji? He'd probably pass out from fear alone.
The portrayal was quite clear there as well. Maki was vastly above Ogi from that moment on.
