What I've been saying for weeks now: Sukuna is a twisted psychopath, and looking for any logic in the way he's fighting is pointless.
He just wanted an actual challenge, and fighting with 10S was perfect for that as it was both a nerf/restriction concerning his own CT but also a possible power up for him. In other words Sukuna made a potentially deadly bet as he wasn't sure that Mahoraga could adapt the perfect way for him.
Nothing to look any further. This is how Sukuna works: taking risks in order to get a real challenge and possibly lose is more interesting than pulling all the chances on his side.
I understand that, but Mahoraga and 10S thing took too long. I wanted more of Sukuna's real CT.
Not 10S BS. He still ended up using Mahoraga's way of adaptation.
Get my point? While it may make sense that he was holding back, I wanted him to show off more against Gojo.
Basically, a fight without 10S and infinity.
But the way it ended, it seems Sukuna negg diffed Gojo.
Gojo lost the moment he lost infinity.
