Give it to him. Aim of the thread is to look at peak Megumi.
mmmmm fair enough
Choso was using Flowing Scale Stack to fight Yuji in the Bathroom fight as well, and they went nigh even in CQC
Yuji kept up at the beginning and got dogged by the end
and Megumi performed just as good as Yuji did when they were combo-ing their attacks together while smacking that Inverse CT Old Guy.
Did he really though?
The Inverse dude noted that Yuji had an absurd amount of raw power
Megumi can't replicate that without his Divine Dog Totality
I would argue Megumi is the best at analyzing and breaking down a CT,
- he figured out Hanami's eyes as his weakness after fighting him for a few minutes
- he's the one who figured out Inverse CT
- he's the one who found a way to defeat Dagon by dragging him out of his Domain
- he's the one who found a way out of Kirara's CT
In terms of Battle IQ, he is undisputed #1 here or only a little behind Naobito due to the difference in battle experience.
I'll give him this
I wouldn't put him over Naobito since there's a 40+ year experience gap but I'll give him 2nd place
This isn't even counting in, how he figured out a way to create an opening v. Toji's speed & >almost< landed a hit on him.
I used this in our Jogo argument but iirc even
I noted that it was a straightforward blitz from Toji that he specifically prepared for
If Toji kept running at him without giving him time to prep he would've died instantly there too
Plus his whole plan was to limit Toji's options by baiting him to a narrow path
He just stood there waiting lol
In an open area Megumi would be fucked
Because fighting Megumi, even outside of his Domain, isn't the same as fighting another Sorceror.
It really is if you stat gap him
See: Toji vs Megumi
Megumi has his Shikigami, he can instantly turn a battle into a Nv1 situation which is very useful fighting against speedsters.
If he can react to them sure
He isn't reacting to a speed stacking Naobito
He probably isn't reacting to regular Naobito tbh
Choso couldn't, Dagon couldn't, Maki (pre awakened) couldn't, etc
Even partially awakened Maki had serious trouble
Megumi dies instantly if put in the same situation
His durability isn't half as good as Maki's and his reactions aren't even close
This was against someone that's
slower and worse with Projection Sorcery than Naobito too
Heck, Sukuna even used Megumi's Rabbit Escape cover + Max Elephant air drop strategy and it worked against an experienced Sorceror like Yorozu.
It only worked against Yorozu because Sukuna can fly (plus he used it in combination with the Bull which Megumi doesn't have)
Divine Dog has feats ripping chunks of flesh out of even Hanami, damaging Nanami or Naobito is no big deal for Megumi especially with his Shikigami.
Nue can electrify & stun, it was compared to Kashimo's CT nature & Megumi pairs these with Max Elephant's water.
And in his Domain, his Fighting Ability gets boosted by 120%. He gets access to Clones, a Large Quantity of Shikigami and Environmental Control.
This would work
assuming it hits
None of this would touch Naobito
Projection Sorcery is absurdly broken
As soon as Naobito touches Megumi (which will happen, Naoya was able to touch partially awakened Maki) all of that goes out of the window
You are severely underestimating Megumi imo, if you think he loses to people like Nanami.
Naobito, i understand, Nanami is just criminal Megumi downplay.
I think Nanami has a pretty decent matchup against Megumi
outside of his domain
Inside he has no chance
