Gojo said that his forthcoming students that will surpass the term "special grade". With Maki's level of power, Yuji's growth, Hakari's cursed energy anything should be possible. You said it yourself, who cares what authorities say?! After Sukuna and Kenjaku are dealt with the students will decide how the Jujutsu society is going to be from than on.
I agree with Gojo's assessment of his students' potential. They are all incredibly talented individuals with the potential to surpass the current boundaries of jujutsu sorcery. Maki's physical prowess and mastery of cursed tools are already on par with special grade sorcerers. With her continued development, she has the potential to become one of the most powerful sorcerers in history. Yuji's growth has been remarkable, and his ability to absorb and control cursed energy makes him a formidable opponent. With more training and experience, he could easily reach special grade level or even surpass it. Hakari's cursed energy is unique and extremely powerful. His ability to reverse causality allows him to turn any situation to his advantage, making him a very dangerous opponent. With more control over his abilities, he could become one of the most powerful sorcerers in the world. Once Sukuna and Kenjaku are dealt with, the students will indeed have the opportunity to shape the future of jujutsu society. They have the potential to create a more equitable and just world for all sorcerers.
I would say Maki is unquestionably special grade if she was to be ranked as a sorcerer. The feat of being able to wipe the Zenin clan alone is enough for her to qualify. That is immediately a massive threat to the higher ups and would have her registered as special grade. I also think there's still some grap between Yuta and Hakari. In that same chapter where they're put on the same level by Gojo, Maki also reminds Yuta that he specifically is their insurance policy. I think the fact that he's their last line of defense indicates hes still their strongest. Yuji doesn't have low cursed energy, but I think he simply isn't on their level (unless he got a lot stronger in the time skip).
On the Maki reminding Yuta thing? Based on the events that transpired afterwards? It's very possible Yuta/Hakari are on a similar level but they promised Kashimo he'd get first chance to fight Sukuna if everything else failed... and Hakari specifically promised him after their fight that he'd help make sure Kashimo could fight Sukuna at some point. Which may have later been confirmed with a binding vow or something. Which is why Hakari and Kashimo go out before Yuta rather than a power gap. Plus they probably want someone like Yuta to stay with the weaker characters because they know Kenjaku is lurking about. So it's probably best he stays around to defend everyone since they know Kenjaku ain't gonna go down to anything less than a bonafide top tier like Yuta. And they've already implied at some point Maki may try to assassinate Kenny, or Sukuna using her "invisibility" (cant be sensed)
I think it’s possible that Maki doesn’t say anything about Hakari simply because she might not know him that well. She has seen practically everything Yuta can do, but I don’t think the same goes for Hakari.
Just to clarify: when Maki massacred the zenin clan she wasn't even on par with Toji yet, she still had to reach the enlightment that would completely unlock her abilities.
@@daymianhogue1634 That doesn't really make sense. When Maki is talking about actual fighting she is completely serious and very no-nonsense. We've only see her show anything that can be labelled as affection to Yuta a few times and it's when it's appropriate. Even if she doesn't like Hakari, there's no reason why she should underestimate him and there's also no reason why she wouldn't know about what he's capable if they're supposed to have a whole plan
Yuji’s “claws” aren’t a manifestation of Sukuna’s technique but most likely from consuming the rest of the younger brothers of Chōso. They insinuate it so many times in the previous chapters. And especially the conversation Yuji and Chōso had
Yuji has always had CE (after eating the first finger). People keep saying that he "reached Grade 1 without CE" but that's not correct. The statement they are referencing is when Mei Mei compares him to Kusakabe. The actually quote is "To be this good without a curse technique... I think you're the only one since Kusakebe.". Yuji has CE just not (as of that moment) a CT.
Yea I quickly changed my wording to little CE. When I said Yuji REACHED G1 level with little CE, I was talking about Goodwill, where even tho he could keep up with Todo in their fight, and Todo said Yuji was devouring him, Yuji still had little to no CE control, and Todo had to teach him how to flow cursed energy through his body later in those chapters. Yea now Yuji has normal CE. Also in the Higuruma figjt Yuji was able to fight him equally with no CE, I shouldve put that in the video.
Yeah, people keep mistaking that as if Yuji has Heavenly restriction. Regular people who can see and interact with curse spirits obviously have CE. And even without CT, we can't really say he has "low or little" curse energy. It was actually never stated clearly how much CE Yuji has because he does not rely on it that much because he has no CT. He may have low "control" over his CE, but that does not mean he has low CE capacity and output. Blackflash has a very efficient usage of CE as well, so him doing 3 of those does not also tell us how much he has. His endurance and durability is also from his physical build. Another thing that people confuse is that Yuji got the power related to souls thru Sukuna. Nope. Kenjaku made him as a vessel, a cage. Of course he would have the capability to take on another soul. If he got it from Sukuna, well, how stupid of Sukuna to teach Yuji's body to become his own cage. Yuji can't be a vessel if he cannot already contain another soul.
@@xmereeven then yuji has low cursed energy control. His amount of cursed energy has never been as a problem, he’s never been stated to run out of CE. It should be assumed that since yuji is sukuna vessel, hes holding inside of himself his cursed energy amount
Id like to point out its highley likely that Yuji devoured the rest of the death womb paintings through his conversation with Choso in order to get stronger. Its a very real possibility that due to their unique blood relation, Yuji may have gained their Cursed Energy to his own, enhancing his base supply and even giving him their techniques. IF that is true, Yuji is defintently a special grade even without Sukunas technique.
And add in sukunas techniques and a little practice and getting more used to it maybe he could be unchallenged since if someone came to fight him they would get a head shot cleave and if they don’t go down yuji will just use his superior physical strength for fun
I’d also like to add that in the latest chapter Yuji said that he was teached by Noritoshi because Choso is a terrible teacher. Yuji was teached by the two sorcerers that can use blood manipulation so there is probably a high chance that he was also able to use blood manipulation after eating the other death womb paintings.
2:28 Gojo was talking about a special grade CURSE. Special Grade Curses just need to be on par with bombs/misiles according to ijiichi. It's different from a Special Grade SORCERER.
This would also go along that with the ranking system a sorcerer of certain grades are expected to be able to deal with curses of their equivalent rank. The whole rank system is set up that a ranked sorcerer should be able to defeat an equivalent ranked curse on their own.
@@jo_ken Yeah, if you exclude sukuna, we've never seen a special grade curse as strong as a special grade sorcerer. Well, rika is a weird case, but you get the point.
@@guesswho8556Rika is weird because she's either a curse a cursed technique itself or a curse that needs to exist in order for the cursed technique to work, meaning that if she dies could yuta just make another one
@@guesswho8556 special grade curses are basically equivalent to grade 1 sorcerers. its crazy how large the gap in power is between a special grade CURSE and a special grade SORCERER. imagine if geto never turned evil and captured the disaster curse. jogo as a pokemon would be crazy.
Personally when it comes to Maki, I think its interesting to take Gojo's statement over Kenjaku's who lived alot longer and has a more pragmatic outlook. Was Gojo doing what JJK higherups did and putting too much emphasis on Cursed Energy usage? I personally think she is above Hikari just because of her physical stats, counter against most domains, and the fact that she has a weapon that can cut souls, something we havent seen anyone to be able to heal from. All 3 should be, only Yuuji being debatable but id still place him there because of his growth
Do remember that Gojo's statement was specifically in the context of fighting Sukuna. It's possible that he didn't mention her because she just has an abysmal matchup against him. Without cursed energy she can't use any of the usual anti-domain measures, and because Sukuna's cursed technique specifically has a variant that hits inanimate objects, her usual protection wouldn't apply. So at best she could force a single domain usage even though she's really good against pretty much everybody else.
Yeah I think maki should be considered the strongest out of the 3, including even yuta my argument is her sword we know Rika goes back if she's damaged enough, domains don't work on her and she's more skilled than yuta in hand to hand combat because that's all she can do or it could be like rock, paper, scissors and hakari beats maki. sukuna also was more interested in her than yuji so I consider her special grade 100% but I think yuji is grade 1 or supreme grade 1 because he's not slumped with the 3 heavy hitters but with higaruma a grade 1. And I think due to the gojo's statement I think he wanted maki to deal with smth else herself why why send 3 people to deal with a two person threat, then maki might deal with kenny
Having a weapon isnt what determines someones grade though, what they can do w/o said cursed tool does though. Toji with playful cloud was substantially way better than Maki vs Dagon when she herself had playful cloud, at that point Toji would of been special grade & Maki grade 1 or grade 2. But now its easy to argue Maki would be special grade if she scales anywhere around the level of Toji who was able to take out two special grades, teen Geto & teen Gojo. I also would argue that Yuji at this point is also low special grade level just from how he kept up with Maki & Sukuna in their fight, but he may scale way higher now post time skip.
@@wolimoli oh i 100% agree he was saying maki might be the weakest of the 3 so I'm just giving reasons why I think she beats both of them and the sword is the soul split katana which ignores durability, I could've worded it better but I'm high and lazy tbh
I feel like we cant judge these three or even yuta right now as they had that 1 month time skip, plus if you reread the Gojo vs Sukuna fight, you can see everyone learning and thinking whenever Gojo did something new or pulled off something people thought was impossible to pull off. I feel like that small time frame of them watching their sensei fight, helped them understand CTs as a whole way better.
And another interesting thing is Gojo sucks at training someone personally as he’s just naturally good at anything he tries but taking that into account he trains them by watching his fight against Sukuna, he actually pulls off a bunch of things we see the students do but in his own Gojo way, activating his domain expansion multiple times in a day(Hakari) but Gojo then shows you can manipulate your domain barrier, Reverse Curse Technique (Yuta) but then Gojo shows you can heal your fatigue put on yourself from over using your domain, delaying your curse technique from activating (Yuji), Gojo puts his own spin on this to create his coup de Grace on Sukuna at the end of the battle
I mean it’s clearly obvious that maki is special grade… If she’s on par with toji who no diffed a special grade curse in Dagon. That would automatically make her one by default.
I think the term of "special grade" is being used too loosely nowadays. I don't think Gojo's inference on other character's powers should be used to determine if these characters are worthy of holding the title of Special Grade. Special grade is part of an official classification system that precedes Gojo's birth, so why did Gojo's opinion matter so much in this video. If we went by the standards being presented in this video, we can also conclude that characters like characters like Takaba and Megumi are also potential Special grade (maybe not now but they will be eventually). If anything Kenjaku's knowledge and qualification requirements are a much more concise and objective indicator of who should be given the special grade title, though it may classify. If we went by Kenjaku's definition the only character between Hakari, Maki and Yuji, that will have the potential of being classify as a special grade is Maki (I agree with everything he said with Maki in the video). Hakari having to rely on hitting jackpot and is only OP for 4:11 minutes at a time is below special grade standard. As good as Hakari CT is, how can his ability be able to topple a whole nation? I also agree with everything he said about Yuji (it too early and Yuji will need a lot of upgrade to be considered a special grade).
His ability can topple a whole nation if you couple it with his sheer speed and strength, he's also special grade because he can beat Kashimo (who is definitely classified as Special Grade even without the use of his CT) But if you don't wanna take that as well, Hakari can also beat Ryu Ishigori and Takako Uro who are both Unregistered Special Grades as they can keep up with Yuta (who is definitely a Special Grade) although granted, Yuta was definitely holding back a fair bit
People meat ride the “topple a nation statement” while simultaneously misrepresenting it. In that’s same fight where he makes that statement he’s going against Yuki. An interesting thing that Kenjaku points out is that’s Yukis technique is not in the Jujutsu Tech Registry. Meaning that she was given the rank without having to disclose her technique. I see a lot of people say that it’s because she can make a black hole and that’s why she was given the rank but that doesn’t make sense given what Kenjaku revealed. How could they know she could do that while also not knowing her CT? This isn’t out of the realm of possibility considering Kusikabe, a grade 1 sorcerer was also ranked despite not having an innate technique. So the whole nation statement likely means that’s conventional military won’t be able to take them down.
@@Misquif Hakari’s ability is basically just a physical power boost coupled with RCT. There is no evidence that Hakari can start on the one side of the a nation and go on to destroy every single thing in his path until he gets to the other side unless we assume that he’s going to do it like he’s the Hulk and punch everything in his path while he’s in jackpot. Ishigori at the very least had a blast cannon that can actually do damage on a consistent basis. Uro can literally control the sky. Kashimo was never stated to be on the level of a special grade (to my knowledge). Even Uruame has an better chance of being a special grade than Hakari since their CT is destructive enough. I’m not saying Hakari can’t beat special grade level opponents. I’m just saying that his CT isn’t special grade worthy. The fact of the matter is power alone isn’t the only requirement to be that needs to be considered when it comes to special grade status. When it comes to a special grade, you should be able to take over a whole country. Based on this, Hakari doesn’t fit the second requirement.
@@EffinFatai It all depends on the size of the nation imo, if its like the USA, probably not but if its like the size of Chad, most likely he'd destroy the entire country With his speed, he wouldn't need jackpot for quite a while because he's fast enough to dodge bullets and strong enough that he can destroy containers
Brother at the start of the vid I said the requirement I will be using for someone being special grade is if they have strength equal to, comparable, or stronger than a special grade. I only brought up Gojo and Kenjaku’s statements to show what they consider a special grade to be. So no you cant call Megumi special grade by my standards you just made that up, he has no feats or statements that make him comparable to any current special grade, which is the requirement I said I was using.
Hey, loved the vid but I think you made a tiny mistake in the Maki section. Kenjaku's domain is barrierless so he'll be able to effect Maki with the surehit. (See Kenjaku vs Yuki and Choso fight). So I think Kenjaku would wipe the floor with Maki.
That's wrong Sukuna's domain affects people like Maki because his technique targets objects without cursed energy. Kenjaku's domain has never been specified to have a technique that targets objects Open barrier doesn't automatically mean that you can deal with people like Maki
@@marcioamaral7511it’s actually a combination of both. Sukuna’s domain is open which means there’s no barrier or at least no barrier to trap people in. Because of this Maki can’t just decide not to get caught in it like a normal barrier’d domain. Then his dismantle ability is able to target inanimate objects. Technically speaking if Kenjaku’s domain is an AOE Maki should be able to get hit by it though it wouldn’t be able to target her.
@@soapyhonkaiThis is slightly incorrect. The "sure hit" attacks _can_ hit inanimate objects, they're just no longer sure hits and the sorcerer has to manually aim it.
most sure hits use cursed energy as a targeting system. that’s the reason why maki and toji can’t be affected or targeted by most sure hits. the only one that can is sukuna, since dismantle attacks both animate and inanimate objects
Only reason gambling boy isn't officially special grade is because the former higher ups are ultra haters and Hakari most likely didnt give a crap about getting the official tag. Also yeah maki and toji dont really fit the grades because they're anomalies, I agree with that sentiment but they are near that level I guess. Yuji will most likely be special grade at the end of the series I imagine if theres even a system like the old one brought back or even a society left to give him the grade lol
that is such a stupid assumption that is in no way based in reality. none of the higher ups like Yaga. they probably hate him way more than hakari and they still wanted to give Yaga special grade. special grade is an assessment of threat not how much the higher ups like you.
Not really it stated that a special grade can overthrow a country on the whim. Hakari’s curse technique while powerful isn’t going to that. His healing means immortality for a short time but when boxing an entire country either his luck is going to run out or the country can win by sealing/imprisonment in the long run as a way to bypass the immortality. He’s a similar case with Naobito, where the technique is op but not in some aspects required to be considered a special grade.
@@lynnusuk2092 nah he can spam DE when his timer is running low and because it increases his probability by a lot mathematically he will just hit the jackpot again and again from just trying again and again and I don’t see how the military would stop him (btw I think i should make it clear we are using the Japanese military as the comparison for obvious reasons)
7:46 Do we know if a cut at the neck would stop Hakari’s automatic reverse curse technique, since I mean the brain would still be intact so would it just be able to bring you back from the stump down? Now if Sukuna sliced through the forehead like he did to Yuji that one time, I’m sure that’d get him.
Gojo said to toji that cutting of his head would've prevented him from using rct. So i think that even if the head isn't destroyed regenerating an entire body is almost impossible, seeing that regrowing a limb is seen as a special feat.
@@arne7522yeah but Gojo has a brain that knows RCT. People keep missing this. Hakari does NOT know how to use RCT. So that means that part of his brain that would control RCT is not developed yet. Think of Hakari in Jackpot Mode as being closer to curse spirits. His body is practically just a curse energy at that point. And his body just restores its form automatically (most likely the same way that Mahito shapes the body using the shape of the soul, so Hakari's body just keeps maintaining the shape of the body based on the shape of his soul). So unless his soul is attacked and changed its shape, then his automatic RCT won't probably restore his original body's shape. Think of it this way: Hakari's brain cannot do RCT and Hakari's body performed RCT while he was unconscious. Hakari is so far the only human who will probably grow his body from a severed head the way Jogo regrew his entire body from just the head and at a faster rate because unlike Jogo, he has infinite curse energy within that 4 minutes.
@@arne7522 Uh, technically that's not what Gojo said. He said it would've prevented him from learning RCT, since he would've died instantly. Kashimo vs Hakari? Kashimo says destroying the head is the sure fire way to kill Hakari. Also Gojo vs Toji? He literally just learned RCT... Meanwhile Hakari has shown the best usage of RCT in the series other than Sukuna. Hakari doesn't even think about it... it just happens. So Hakari is honestly a very special case and the rules for him might be different than for others.
@@daymianhogue1634I would even say that Hakari has a better RCE than Sukuna, on the right against Gojo he was having problems healing by the end, but we didn't saw anything like that on Hakari
@@joacoguerrero98 in fairness we also don't know how long the Gojo vs Sukuna fight was. And Sukuna was throwing out tons of things. Meanwhile Hakari only does RCT with unlimited CE which makes comparing him to a heavily weakened Sukuna a bit wonky. But I do understand it.
Maki was able to defeat curse spirit Naoya though, who is a stronger version of his living self. If Naoya is taken to be a really strong grade 1, he should just edge out to special grade as a curse spirit. Yeah Maki received help in that fight but by the end of it she was able to fight him on equal grounds.
And curse Naoya would most likely destroy the other disaster curses if he is not feeling so arrogant (which even in human form dislikes using weapons when he could destroy most of his opponents if only he has some sense). So yeah, Naoya is for sure special grade. And Maki's completed version makes her a special grade. Taking note that the grading is highly political and was even stated in the manga that the only reason Maki has not been promoted much ealier is because the Zenin clan is preventing it and only when Todo (who does not care about the higher ups) nominated that it was considered.
@@FenShen-us9tv She would be destroyed by Sukuna's Domain tho. And if Kenjaku's domain also target non-living things like Sukuna's, Maki would also get rekt.
Hakari can’t overthrow a nation. His weakness is fighting multiple targets. While Hakari fight multiple people if he don’t catch them all in his domain someone can destroy it from the outside and cancel the game. This is why he decided to fight Kashimo instead of going to where there was multiple strong opponents since he would be at disadvantage. Another thing Yuta said stronger than him not stronger than him and Rika. Yuta always refer to Rika as her own entity
That is your head cannon. Hakari only said he will go fight the guy with the highest point. Yuta just went with the decision because he trust in Hakari's strength (even if he is actually stronger than him or not). And if you want to infer from that, it should be like this: The player with the highest point is the guy who is ready and has been killing other players. And this was proven immediatel with Panda who was attacked and "killed" almost immediately. And knowing that of all the crew, Hakari is the only one who can actually die and still not die, i.e. killed a couple of times and probably tire out the guy and make him give up his points (because that is actually their main objective). Another proof of that is Charles' life being spared by Hakari. So yeah, we don't know how Hakari will do against a group who will have slower domain activation time. But in terms of overthrowing a nation, he probably won't be able to do it especially if he just uses his hands. Principal Yaga with an army of curse dolls will do much much better. But Hakari on a killing spree can probably overthrow a small nation because with millions of people to activate his RCT on, he will be on a continuous roll. The nation need to be prepared enough for him so they can use traps. But on a straight up fight? Nah, he will dominate their armies. They would need to use long distance missiles to incapacitate him and limit his ability to activate his domain. But if he enters a nation with people, civilians and militant combined, that nation be better prepared to bomb their own people.
@@angrymeowngi what is the weakness to every domain (even Gojo) that has a barrier? What is Hakari CT? Now again if Hakari can capture everyone in his domain then nobody is on the outside to break his barrier. I believe Hakari will always hit jackpot somehow probably by rigging the game. Hakari ct is opening his domain and we all know domains (except Kenny and Sukuna) are all weak on the outside. It’s not headcannon it’s the facts we been told from the start. Him going to fight 1 opponent instead of fighting multiple that’s me making a educated guess based off the fact his ct is a domain
@@jinmali Then Yuta can escape from the inside can’t be strong on both inside and outside. Also he not Gojo and Sukuna what they did was on a different level. Hakari domain is weak vs multiple combatants it’s easy to see. If you want to use your hypothetical then since Hakari domain sure hit is the rules Yuta can make a binding vow to make the inside of his domain stronger while Hakari makes his outside stronger. Then he will get hit by Yuta domain 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ just accept he would lose a 2v1
@@ta15235 yuta would have to be able to destroy it while dealing with Hakari attacking him he’s not just gonna be able to destroy it while fighting Hakari. Also if Hakari was being attacked by yuta and rika at the same time I’d assume that means they would be within close proximity to each other so she would be enclosed in the barrier with him wouldn’t she?
I disagree with the point of kenjaku’s domain expansion not effecting maki. First, we dont know the actual sure-hit effect currently. Second, when we see the sure hit effect of another domain expansion of the same category as his, Malevolent Shrine, it is shown that the sure-hit effect of it can annihilate non-living objects, which would include maki. This means there are domains that would effect maki. We don’t know if kenjaku’s would, but since it hasn’t been seen yet, we cant just say it wouldnt work.
I personally believe that it is possible to regrow your head with RCT via a binding vow. In exchange for something, you can use a binding vow to store positive CE in your neck/body, and if you lose your head the binding vow will activate to use that stored positive CE to regrow it. It would take a lot of planning, and probably would cost something heavy, but it’s possible. Edit: also, look at the color pages of the 2 latest chapters. Yuji’s arms are not Sukuna arms, they’ve transformed into something never before seen.
Hakari may actually be an exemption from what we've seen so far. His RCT is automatic and does not rely on his "brain" for control because it was even stated that Hakari does not actually know how to perform RCT. That means the part of his brain that would contain the RCT control is not developed for that purpose. So technically Hakari in RCT is closer to curse spirits and that he can probably grow his body from just the head alone the same way that Jogo grew back his body just from the head. So yeah, Sukuna cutting his neck won't really 'cut it'. And even if Sukuna did try the Ryu version, as long as there is a major portion of his body, he probably will RCT because his entire body is practically just curse energy while in Jackpot Mode. So Sukuna has to time it with his Jackpot's last second.
@@angrymeowngiMy Hypothesis is the reverse cursed technique is created from the cursed energy in Hakari's body inevitably clashing with itself because there is so much of it
I’d like to see a discussion about Mechamaru’s heavenly restriction and what it could be. Cause we’ve seen Toji and Maki both have some crazy abilities all things considered with their heavenly restrictions so do you think Mechamaru’s might have had some effects and changes we just never got to see?
I believe Mechamaru's heavenly restriction is something about him being constantly near-fatally injured, but he's able to use his lifespan as a form/source of cursed energy

Kenjaku's domain is similar to Sukuna's in the respect that's it doesn't have a barrier so it wouldn't be something Maki could just run in and out of like she did to Naoya. little edit he also has the gravity technique and most likely a few other unknown techniques.
@@macduffosazuwa2419 i agree its also the same type of people that dick ride gojo and still say EVEN AFTER SUKUNA MERKED HIM that gojo is stronger mfs got their blinders on or something
Apart from having a CT his physical specs should almost be on maki level now because of the time skip and the boost in power he will get because of gojo’s death
@@kemalthom475yeah he fought alongside her before the timeskip and maki didn't really get any stronger or not as much as the others and yuji got substantially stronger so much so that he was keeping up with a domain amped Yuta so yeah physically he is equal to toji and maki if not slightly above
I think of it like this, “Maki: grade 1 sorcerer” just doesn’t sound right 😅 she put hands on some high caliber people and definitely a special grade level opponent even if it was 2v1
I think its unclear currently if gojos statement was rooted in power rather than strategy. It could be that their plan for fighting sukuna and kenjaku requires maki to stand back or it could just be an acknowledgement of a potentially bad match up rather than a flat scaling situation
7:50 sukuna slicing hakari's neck off would kill him. ONLY IF the neck flew off. exactly as you had said, sukuna sliced off gojo's head in one swoop and gojo simply healed it with reversed cursed technique before it was too far from gojo's torso to heal. Hakari would need to be obliterated completely in one move to be killed, just like how mahoraga got demolished by the fire arrow from sukuna.
hakari having his head destroyed isn't that hard gojo could do it with blue sukuna could just slice his head in half yuki is a great counter to hakari so is maki the only person you argue is yuta who we haven't seen much of due to him not using his ct fully
@@bloodwolf6818 everything you said is true, blue can even destroy sukuna IF it hit, and sukuna could easily shred hakari's head. though my point is that we don't even know what sukuna is actually capable of despite all of his feats so far. for example, when gojo got his neck sliced off why didnt sukuna just shred gojo into little cubes? we've seen him done it multiple times and he chooses not to do it to gojo, which leads me to believe that sukuna is way stronger than we believe him to be. sukuna could've just been cocky or maybe he is unable to fully control cleave and dismantle in certain situations, OR it could just be a plot hole. One situation where sukuna was unable to control his dismantle properly was against the first finger bearer we see in the show, leading him to slice the curse into way more than 3 slices, mentioning that it was weaker than he thought. This could mean that sukuna's dismantle is based on how strong or how weak the enemy is and that not even sukuna has full proficiency with that technique.
16:54 Teen Gojo and Geto weren't the strongest sorcerers. Gojo claimed they were but that's just cap. It isn't until Gojo awakened, unlocks reverse curse technique and prepares to use Hollow Purple that Toji grows warry and wonders if Gojo MIGHT be the strongest sorcerer in the world. We also saw that Geto was Grade 1 in the chart explaining curse manipulation.
Gojo seen Geto as a peer so at the time they were close enough to be “Equal”. This teen gojo was still extremely revered in the jujutsu world like shifting the balance. They as teens were definitely competitive for the strongest title. At the time the only person who could contest them was like Yuki.
@@Insidious-K baby gojo already sifted the balance, and he wasn't beating anyone. Yuki would low diff either of them. Geto was literally a Grade 1 sorcerer. Gojo didn't even know reverse curse technique or have a domain either.
With anyone in special grade being that they can overthrow or have the potential to overthrow nations then yeah they’d be special grade considering that toji beat teen gojo and kenjaku and with maki being stronger if not comparable to toji and hakari scaling to this and yuji keeping up with maki they’d definitely be special grade unless we’re talking about current special grades because even yuki could beat them all one on one much less someone like yuta or gojo either way they’d be top tier 1st grade or low tier special grade
I feel like Maki is 'weaker' than Toji in the sense that they're equal as individuals, but Toji had a much larger arsenal available to him (as well as the means to conceal them on his person to become 100% undetectable) when he defeated Geto (Also exhausted/injured Gojo, but it's cleaner to just use Geto who was mostly fresh and already aware of him when the fight started) while Maki only has one of his many tools that she has to carry on her, meaning that with careful observation she could still be tracked by tracking the katana.
I think the easiest and most oversimplified way of identifying a special grade is if they could realistically exorcise a disaster curse all by themself. I can see Yuta, Maki and Hakari beating a disaster curse with relative ease but I just don't see Yuji doing the same.
Bruh yuji fought mahito and won sure he had todo but mahito beat him when he was still grieving "someone " and this was at shibuya arc the current yuji is beating ass there
@@BoneTeaYeah, bout that, an injured weakend Yuji fought on par with a full power Maki after she obtained her full HR, and that was before the month training arc, and that fight was against a stronger 15 finger Sukuna than the one Jogo got no diffed on, plus all the feats prior to the Sukuna fight where Yuji faces off against Yuta and was keeping up with him, current Yuji has all the feats to be a Special grade, that without considering his apparent CT
I put Hakari in a similar realm to Mechamaru, under very specific circumstances he reaches the level of a special grade sorcerer, but he shouldn't be considered one since most of the time he's not at that level
@itshurtt395 he created Rika himself. No one else could've done that. That's how strong he is. Plus he's regarded as the second strongest jujutsu sorcerer post curse rika. Current Rika is more like a shinigami
@@macduffosazuwa2419if we are talking pre awakening teen Gojo, Mahito opens his domain and one taps him as Gojo has zero domain defense. Hell even post awakening when Gojo a year later is explaining how he mastered infinity to Geto he still explains that “All that’s left is a domain and long range teleportation” so even a year after hidden inventory he still has no domain counter. Also Geto and Gojo where only grade one sorcerers in hidden inventory shown by the chart with Geto listed as a grade one.
In my opinion Maki would fit well in a new category that would be called "semi special grade" as there are descriptions such as semi first grade and it would be good place to put Maki
Geto was special grade in the hidden inventory arc right? And maki scales to toji. Toji beat the shit out of geto. Like 0 problems. Hence maki/toji should be special grade
@@mariushager9983 Naw I don’t think was just yet but close enough, what really put him at special grade was the amount of curses and types he had. Still think he loses to Toji regardless.
I don’t think the gojo statement is all abt power, but rather matchups. Hakari can become immortal and Yuta possesses RCT, Maki doesn’t have that. She heals quickly, but against Sukuna quick isn’t enough. So it doesn’t say she’s weaker then them, but that’s she’s a bad matchup for Sukuna’s massive output
Two things I’d like to say!! I think you were being a bit disingenuous to Kenjaku, bc I don’t think that the statement implies that he’d run from Maki, but that if he got double teamed by Maki and another strong sorcerer he’d be in danger. Two! This might be the copium in me but I think Maki is probably on the same level as Yuta and Hakkari, and Gojo’s statement is probably because he can easily measure their strength with his Six Eyes (he sees their cursed energy and stuff) but, again, probably the copium in me. Anyway loved this video :D
Maki is definitely special grade. First, Gojo and Geto were already special grades during pre-inventory because they’re the two strongest. Ch. 66. Toji kills pre-amped Gojo and washes Geto. Maki is equivalent to Toji so should be special grade for that reason. Second, Maki performs very impressively against Sukuna. Maki casually opened the fight with a wrist lock followed by several blows to Sukuna’s face. It’s l unclear how her katana would affect RCT. And Sukana landed a clean strike to Maki’s face and she merely spit out a tooth, exciting Sukuna. She performed better than Jogo, who couldn’t even land a hit.
Special grade is used to loosely. Any one not directly acknowledged to be a special grade at this point in the story isn't a special grade. Gojo/Sukuna, Yuta, kenjaku, geto are the only special grades. Yuji ESPECIALLY is not and probably NEVER will be a special grade. Just stop the coping around him. He's weak as hell.
heres something. even if sukuna cut off hakari's head (7:45) then, wouldn't he be able to instantly regrow his entire body below the neck from the cut off head?
If Yuji, Maki, Hakari, and Megumi survive, they'll be classified as special-grade sorcerers. Gege stopped using the rank of special grade to keep up the mystique of “special grade.”
@@enenra6417 I kinda doubt it. His soul is still present (albeit far from a great state) and he can make himself a shadow in his domain expansion. Maybe he can make himself a new body if/when he's free
@tatersalad76 I don't think he's gonna be in the best shape after getting hit with infinite void for 6 minutes and you have to remember what remained of Megumi's body was assimilated into Sukuna's heian Era form
@@enenra6417 Higuruma's hax can bypass that, and Megumi has too much plot armor to die like that, i.e., he has to die in a way that is significant to the story and impacts the characters. Gege will find a way to write Megumi back into the story.
@sayyidf.b.6378 megumi having plot armor? Yeah, I don't think that anymore after all the times Gege has made this man suffer and what can he even do anymore his most powerful shinigami is dead and most of his shinigami are dead. And bro's soul got hit with years worth of mindless information
I can see there being different levels of Special Grade, like low-spec, mid-spec, and high-spec given the range of all who have been so far classified as such.
The thing with jackpot as weve seen its not just one machine running if ANY machine is running and hits jackpot hes immortal and can run hands doesn't matter if a ability takes thirty times to land if the thirty times happens at once
Grade 1 to special grade is a bit arbitrary as the idea was created way before characters started getting exoteric or mega powerful powers. Just because you can beat a special grade doesn't mean you are a special grade. As special grade main requirement is if they can do mass destruction or destroys something of a large size (a country). If I have the ability to summon a giant meteor from space that can blow up all of Japan but takes me 10 years of channeling my strength to do so. I would still be "special grade" even if a grade 4 sorcerer can beat me. If I have the ability to create the zombie virus and spread it whenever I want. I can be special grade by the virtue of it easily taking down an nation that way even if other sorcerers can easily defeat the zombies. The reason why it's confusing in a battle Shonen like JJK is because characters of higher grades also tend to directly just have much higher stats in terms of physical/direct on fights with massive difference between characters. So it's an matter of opinion of special grade is who is the "strongest" sorcerers in terms of combat or special grade as in anomalies that can take down society.
Results for ppl who dont wanna watch the entire video : maki yes but very low special grade strength, hakari yes. Yuji yes but if he had more cursed energy and domain.
7:50 i don't believe that's true. A lightning is obviously very fast, and his RCT was able to heal that. And we saw gojo heal a slice to the neck. as the cut was veing formed, he healed it instantly, that way his head never disconected. I'm sure Hakari can do the same, especially after we saw how fast he could heal the lightning.
Yeah I got this comment from someone else too. Let me clarify. In that moment I was talking about ways to kill Hakari, so Assuming his head got removed from his body Via a cut, he would die. But yeah I agree if the cut isnt strong enough to fully go through his neck, he would just heal it.
The thing about special grade ranking is that you need to be able to take down a country on your own, as stated by Kenjaku, and without a strong enough CT one can never achieve it regardless of how strong they physically are, which includes all 3 of them xd, as none of them have outstandingly strong CT, hell Maki and Yuji don't even have one to begin with. But as Gojo said when they reach their full potential the rank of special geade will become obsolete, as even if they cannot be classified as special grades due to not having CTs strong enough, they would be so physically gifted that they could just beat any special grade with just pure hands, so then what would special grade even mean anymore. They are going to surpass special grade, not achieve it!
The same reason that Principal Yaga must be a special grade. An unhinged Yaga creating an army of curse dolls? Yeah, he can take over a country. But I'll disagree on just plain lacking a strong enough CT if you mean lacking instantaneous destructive power. There are cases where Maki and Yuji can take on a small country. Not every country has the military power of US and other members of the Security Council. And really, a nuclear weapon only works if the enemy is outside the country or at least in an area where that country won't think twice bombing. Of course if you will not allow Maki, Yuji and Hakari to use weapons, sure. But with access to some weapons? They just need to infiltrate the country and go from there. Sure it will not do it in a day like Gojo or Yuki, but they will eventually be able to do it. And if you say the benchmark for a country is the US, and they know they will be attacked, then I think only Gojo has the chance because he is the only one who can teleport there or intercept a nuclear weapon and send it back. Yuki with her destructive powers will just get nuked before she leaves Japan.
WAIT, IN THOSE PANELS. THE SMILES ARE FLIPPED. Toji is smiling when he stabs, and Gojo (who wasnt smiling) wins. Sukuna is smiling while Maki isn't, I think that's deliberate.
the reason why Maki isn't on the level of Hakari and Yuta is RCT(healing), that she cannot use at all. Yeah, "she might have faster regeneration", but is it matter, if Yuta's RCT can regrow part of your body in 20-30 seconds? (not even mention Hakari's instant RCT)
I think the Gojo statement is difficult to scale Maki off of because i don’t think Gojo is speaking about being physically weaker than Yuta or Hakari, hence why Maki was mentioned. I think he’s talking more so about his CE.
I understand that gojo has the six eyes and is aware of tojis heavenly pact. However gojo stated hikari and yuta are strongest before she was realized. And the six eyes mostly measures CE and techniques. Not necessarily physical prowess
I think Hikari is and isn't. i feel the statement of special grades being able to control all ounces of their cursed energy is key to my detraction from it. Hikari as we know can't use RCT normally which all special grades can(since they can accurately control curse energy from the head)which leads to my only fault with the rank. But then again I feel Maki is special grade so why not him as well
IMO why gojo made that distinction /excluding maki is that she is heavenly restricted so gojo is just saying "only jump sukuna if he is "weaker" than either yuta or hakari as they are more tradtional sorcerers with cursed energy and techniques and all but who knows maybe gojo just means overall strength lol
I’m not dissing you or saying that you’re wrong or anything but I’m pretty sure the reason why Gojo said that was because Soukouna is a bad matchup for Maki with how much range abilities he has in the speed that he got now to actually contest with Gojo, so he could just keep her at a distance, and he could just one shot her at range
If were talking on the description and expectations of a Special Grade being able to overthrow a nation then I don't think with their current abilities they do. With that said, if were talking on the basis of fighters they can best then Maki, Yuji, and Hakari are unquestionably that strong.
Gojo also probably wouldnt want maki to fight sukuna because she doesnt have the CT to be able to heal herself, which is a very important thing to be able to do if youre fighting against sukuna because of his cleave and dismantle.
Honestly all pondering does is showing just the sheer size of the trench between Special Grade and everything else. When even absolutely decimating even a prodigy Grade 1 or fighting several Grade 1's at once might not be enough to cross the barrier.
I’m pretty sure we were explained to fairly early on that Sorcerer grades are established based off of your cursed energy and your cursed techniques strength and versatility. Special grades are said to be able to destroy a country, and I think Hakari and Yuji both are semi-special to special grade level at this point. But Maki by definition, can’t be special grade. She doesn’t adhere to the grading system, as she isn’t technically a sorcerer or curse user. She doesn’t have cursed energy or a technique. She transcends the grading system in that aspect, as she has all the skill and power of a special grade, but without the CE and CT.
with yuji having Rct and a curse technique now i think he is getting up their and i also saw a databook that said that if yuji were to fought jogo if yuji could land 5 black flashes on jogo he would be dead so i think at this part of the manga he is definitely special grade because jogo is a unregitered special grade so he is definitely special grade so yeah
I think there should exist something like semi - special grade cause if semi grade 1 exist (Inu and if i remember Mechamaru) it would make more sense,but grades probably are removed since authorities are killed > they made most of rules so there probably no longer real grade of sorcerers
I think that we can look at this from the opposite perspective of why they cant be ranked lower than special grade. If we look at any solid grade 1 sorcerers, the three of them are way beyond that. Nanami and Todo are strong grade 1 sorcerers but they are far below the level of these 3 so it only makes sense they are special grade
Another thing you could take into account when Gojo made that statement of don't come in unless I'm weaker than yuta or hakari could be his cursed energy out put. Sense you cant measure how much curse energy maki has it would be best to compare his curse energy levels to yuta and hakari.
Maki is the same as Toji, there is no doubt she is special grade. Hakari was able to win against kashimo (i know he didn't use his cursed technique, BUT his abilities alone put him on another level, and Hakari won against him), also Yuta said that when Hakari is worked up, i guess meaning when he hits jackpot he is stronger than Yuta, yuta is special grade, if Hakari is stronger than Yuta then he's automatically special grade. the only one who i don't think qualifies YET is Yuji.
Personally, Yuji with sukuna is 100% special grade since hes quite litterally the vessel for the king of curses. Post-meguna hes high 1st grade. Maki should probably be special grade since she scales to toji which is 100% special grade. Hakari is debatebly special grade since yuta said he could beat him if he had jackpot active, although maki just said he was capping so idrk.
yuji with sukuna doesn’t mean anything. yuji can easily die (yuji vs yuta, yuji vs choso) even tho he has sukuna in his body because sukuna doesn’t really care if yuji dies, he’s not helping yuji unless yuji wants to but knowing yuji, he’s never going to swap with sukuna because he doesn’t trust him and I wouldn’t too
And by yuta i mean that he was only considered special grade because of rika before she was release. Same works with yuuji and him being a ticking time bomb with sukuna inside him
I think if they had a semi special grade classification that's where yuji would be after sukuna left his body because he was physically keeping up with a 15f sukuna and maki
You have a few things wrong. It’s never implied yuji has little to no cursed energies. It’s the opposite in fact. He’s usually always said to have at least an above average amount. It’s the fact that he has no cursed technique is why he can’t win a lot of fights. But make no mistake. He has a good amount of cursed energy. Not Yuta level of course. But a good amount.
When I said Yuji REACHED G1 level with little CE, I was talking about Goodwill, where even tho he could keep up with Todo in their fight, and Todo said Yuji was devouring him, Yuji still had little to no CE control, and Todo had to teach him how to flow cursed energy through his body later in those chapters. Yea now Yuji has normal CE. Also in the Higuruma fight Yuji was able to fight against him with no CE.
@@xmere yeah. Yuji is a super human, but he still has high amounts of cursed energy, which is why he wasn’t affected all that much when his ce was taken away. Tbh this is not a conversation bout any yuji that isn’t the current one. So bringing up his lack of ce control from the beginning of the story when trying to scale current yujis power is just laughable. Current yuji has enough cursed energy output and control to put him on the same level as a heavenly restriction user in terms of raw speed and power. Which again. That’s a very short list of fighters who can scale to that speed and power level. So at minimum his cursed energy amount would have ti be significantly higher than most sorcerers. Most likely on par with characters like kashimo in terms of amounts. Again. At minimum he’d be on par with maki and toji in terms of scaling.
@@sky-oq5mr you don't lose your grade if you get expelled or become a criminal. we know this from geto AND Yaga. everyone wanting hakari to be special grade are ignoring the obvious fact that he just isn't. if he was there would be 5 special grades but theres not.
Well with the gojo statement for maki I think he may have meant that fight specifically. RCT is basically a requirement to fight sukuna and maki wouldn’t be able to fight that vs fight geto she stands a chance blocking or dodging.
I'd believe maki is definitely special grade majorly because apart from the two outliers (gojo and sukuna). Anybody who fights Maki and isn't deathly serious or slips up even the slightest gets beaten by her. Sge physically outdoes basically everyone, and hard counters their domain. Like Hakari's domain doesn't work on her. About the Gojo statement i'm not sure it's too accurate to lower her level. Gojo long ago already said they could surpass him, because he understands their curse energy and technique. It's quite possible he doesn't even know how strong current Maki is. Since 6 eyes won't be able to judge her. I actually think she fits snugly into special grade below yuta above Hakari. Plus i think anyone who can take out the disaster curses with relative ease could almost be the opening to special grade. You see them destroying grade 1s but every special grade makes a meal out of them
I was going to watch the video but i went to the comments and saw that he put MAKI anything lower than SPECIAL GRADE i already knew he didn't knkw what he was talking about
Personally I’m of the idea that maki faster and physically stronger than hakari. Her tools and h2h combat make her a ABSURDLY bad match up for hakari. I think that maki wasn’t included in the statement due to gojo referring to curse energy. Since that’s how they gauge strength 99% of the time
I agree with you but I think the writer was just not thinking of making when he wrote this gojo of all people should know not to gauge curse energy to measure strength when it comes to someone like maki
I feel your hyper fixation on gojos statement is a bit strange. That was something mentioned very early on in the series, and while I'm sure he understood that Maki had a similar Heavenly Restriction to Toji, the comment he made was, to me, intended to highlight a proximity to himself. That is, Hakari and Yuta, at the peak of their strength, would be comparable to Gojo, making them two of the most potentially powerful characters in the verse. Maki's omission from this group implies that Gojo doesn't think maki will ever be comparable to him, which is reasonable seeing as he handedly defeated Toji, but I don't think that not being comparable to Gojo is a measure of their actually strength, as he is literally the pinnacle of Sorcery; he IS the strongest. Consider Yuki or Geto; I would not say that they are comparable to Gojo, as individually, they can't hold a candle to gojos strength, and still they are special grade, because they show objective dominance over other sorcerers. Finally, this is all to say that I think maki would unquestionably be special grade, and the complete extermination of the Zenin Clan, along with a grade 1 sorcerers that had already shown themselves to be in the upper echelons of the Grade 1 Tier supports that statement wholly.
None of these Sorcerers can become special grade, because you simply can grow to become that level, you'd have to be born with an anomaly of a cursed technique.
Loved the vid, but i would have to disagree with your statement that maki is the lowest special grade, since she's on par with toji who defeated gojo and geto and also exorcised one of the diaster curses i believe that she may be a little above "lowest special grade"
Personally I think most people underrate yuji. He was somewhat relative to maki pre cursed wombs absorbtion. And now that he got his ct he was able to inflict damage on true form sukuna
Having the luck guy in same sentence is not saying they are the same level of power. For his energy. The sentence does say infinite energy. It doest not say its limited.
Gojo said that his forthcoming students that will surpass the term "special grade".
With Maki's level of power,
Yuji's growth,
Hakari's cursed energy anything should be possible.
You said it yourself, who cares what authorities say?!
After Sukuna and Kenjaku are dealt with the students will decide how the Jujutsu society is going to be from than on.
🙌👍💯
So nobody will talk about my boyy megumi ?....
@@akzuuzumaki780the dudes gone ☠️
I agree with Gojo's assessment of his students' potential. They are all incredibly talented individuals with the potential to surpass the current boundaries of jujutsu sorcery.
Maki's physical prowess and mastery of cursed tools are already on par with special grade sorcerers. With her continued development, she has the potential to become one of the most powerful sorcerers in history.
Yuji's growth has been remarkable, and his ability to absorb and control cursed energy makes him a formidable opponent. With more training and experience, he could easily reach special grade level or even surpass it.
Hakari's cursed energy is unique and extremely powerful. His ability to reverse causality allows him to turn any situation to his advantage, making him a very dangerous opponent. With more control over his abilities, he could become one of the most powerful sorcerers in the world.
Once Sukuna and Kenjaku are dealt with, the students will indeed have the opportunity to shape the future of jujutsu society. They have the potential to create a more equitable and just world for all sorcerers.
"After Sukuna and Kenjaku are dealt with" let's hope this doesn't age like milk
I would say Maki is unquestionably special grade if she was to be ranked as a sorcerer. The feat of being able to wipe the Zenin clan alone is enough for her to qualify. That is immediately a massive threat to the higher ups and would have her registered as special grade.
I also think there's still some grap between Yuta and Hakari. In that same chapter where they're put on the same level by Gojo, Maki also reminds Yuta that he specifically is their insurance policy. I think the fact that he's their last line of defense indicates hes still their strongest.
Yuji doesn't have low cursed energy, but I think he simply isn't on their level (unless he got a lot stronger in the time skip).
On the Maki reminding Yuta thing? Based on the events that transpired afterwards? It's very possible Yuta/Hakari are on a similar level but they promised Kashimo he'd get first chance to fight Sukuna if everything else failed... and Hakari specifically promised him after their fight that he'd help make sure Kashimo could fight Sukuna at some point. Which may have later been confirmed with a binding vow or something. Which is why Hakari and Kashimo go out before Yuta rather than a power gap. Plus they probably want someone like Yuta to stay with the weaker characters because they know Kenjaku is lurking about. So it's probably best he stays around to defend everyone since they know Kenjaku ain't gonna go down to anything less than a bonafide top tier like Yuta. And they've already implied at some point Maki may try to assassinate Kenny, or Sukuna using her "invisibility" (cant be sensed)
I think it’s possible that Maki doesn’t say anything about Hakari simply because she might not know him that well. She has seen practically everything Yuta can do, but I don’t think the same goes for Hakari.
@@peytonmyers4957 iirc the fan books even said that Maki doesn't like the 3rd years. Meanwhile she does like Yuta in a possibly romantic sense even.
Just to clarify: when Maki massacred the zenin clan she wasn't even on par with Toji yet, she still had to reach the enlightment that would completely unlock her abilities.
@@daymianhogue1634 That doesn't really make sense. When Maki is talking about actual fighting she is completely serious and very no-nonsense. We've only see her show anything that can be labelled as affection to Yuta a few times and it's when it's appropriate. Even if she doesn't like Hakari, there's no reason why she should underestimate him and there's also no reason why she wouldn't know about what he's capable if they're supposed to have a whole plan
Yuji’s “claws” aren’t a manifestation of Sukuna’s technique but most likely from consuming the rest of the younger brothers of Chōso. They insinuate it so many times in the previous chapters. And especially the conversation Yuji and Chōso had
yes. that’s confirmed in chapter 220
That's what I've been trying to tell people!
Yuji has always had CE (after eating the first finger). People keep saying that he "reached Grade 1 without CE" but that's not correct. The statement they are referencing is when Mei Mei compares him to Kusakabe. The actually quote is "To be this good without a curse technique... I think you're the only one since Kusakebe.". Yuji has CE just not (as of that moment) a CT.
Yea I quickly changed my wording to little CE. When I said Yuji REACHED G1 level with little CE, I was talking about Goodwill, where even tho he could keep up with Todo in their fight, and Todo said Yuji was devouring him, Yuji still had little to no CE control, and Todo had to teach him how to flow cursed energy through his body later in those chapters. Yea now Yuji has normal CE. Also in the Higuruma figjt Yuji was able to fight him equally with no CE, I shouldve put that in the video.
Yeah, people keep mistaking that as if Yuji has Heavenly restriction. Regular people who can see and interact with curse spirits obviously have CE. And even without CT, we can't really say he has "low or little" curse energy. It was actually never stated clearly how much CE Yuji has because he does not rely on it that much because he has no CT. He may have low "control" over his CE, but that does not mean he has low CE capacity and output. Blackflash has a very efficient usage of CE as well, so him doing 3 of those does not also tell us how much he has. His endurance and durability is also from his physical build.
Another thing that people confuse is that Yuji got the power related to souls thru Sukuna. Nope. Kenjaku made him as a vessel, a cage. Of course he would have the capability to take on another soul. If he got it from Sukuna, well, how stupid of Sukuna to teach Yuji's body to become his own cage. Yuji can't be a vessel if he cannot already contain another soul.
Yuji recently discovered his cursed technique btw he can swap souls with his target
@@xmere It wasn't that he had little CE it was a lack of control of said CE.
@@xmereeven then yuji has low cursed energy control. His amount of cursed energy has never been as a problem, he’s never been stated to run out of CE. It should be assumed that since yuji is sukuna vessel, hes holding inside of himself his cursed energy amount
“Against the King of Curses, Hakari’s luck has run out” is the last thing I want to hear.
i would be absolutely bawlin i would just stop reading jjk if that happened omg 😭
Id like to point out its highley likely that Yuji devoured the rest of the death womb paintings through his conversation with Choso in order to get stronger. Its a very real possibility that due to their unique blood relation, Yuji may have gained their Cursed Energy to his own, enhancing his base supply and even giving him their techniques. IF that is true, Yuji is defintently a special grade even without Sukunas technique.
And add in sukunas techniques and a little practice and getting more used to it maybe he could be unchallenged since if someone came to fight him they would get a head shot cleave and if they don’t go down yuji will just use his superior physical strength for fun
I’d also like to add that in the latest chapter Yuji said that he was teached by Noritoshi because Choso is a terrible teacher. Yuji was teached by the two sorcerers that can use blood manipulation so there is probably a high chance that he was also able to use blood manipulation after eating the other death womb paintings.
Yuji with melavolent shrine, cleave, blood manipulation, Soul swap, Black flash, divergent fist and speed☠️☠️
2:28 Gojo was talking about a special grade CURSE. Special Grade Curses just need to be on par with bombs/misiles according to ijiichi. It's different from a Special Grade SORCERER.
This would also go along that with the ranking system a sorcerer of certain grades are expected to be able to deal with curses of their equivalent rank.
The whole rank system is set up that a ranked sorcerer should be able to defeat an equivalent ranked curse on their own.
@@jo_ken Yeah, if you exclude sukuna, we've never seen a special grade curse as strong as a special grade sorcerer. Well, rika is a weird case, but you get the point.
@@guesswho8556Rika is weird because she's either a curse a cursed technique itself or a curse that needs to exist in order for the cursed technique to work, meaning that if she dies could yuta just make another one
@@jo_kenI think they said they should be able to easily take out a curse of their equivalent rank
@@guesswho8556 special grade curses are basically equivalent to grade 1 sorcerers. its crazy how large the gap in power is between a special grade CURSE and a special grade SORCERER. imagine if geto never turned evil and captured the disaster curse. jogo as a pokemon would be crazy.
Personally when it comes to Maki, I think its interesting to take Gojo's statement over Kenjaku's who lived alot longer and has a more pragmatic outlook. Was Gojo doing what JJK higherups did and putting too much emphasis on Cursed Energy usage? I personally think she is above Hikari just because of her physical stats, counter against most domains, and the fact that she has a weapon that can cut souls, something we havent seen anyone to be able to heal from. All 3 should be, only Yuuji being debatable but id still place him there because of his growth
Interesting take, thanks for the comment.
Do remember that Gojo's statement was specifically in the context of fighting Sukuna. It's possible that he didn't mention her because she just has an abysmal matchup against him.
Without cursed energy she can't use any of the usual anti-domain measures, and because Sukuna's cursed technique specifically has a variant that hits inanimate objects, her usual protection wouldn't apply. So at best she could force a single domain usage even though she's really good against pretty much everybody else.
Yeah I think maki should be considered the strongest out of the 3, including even yuta my argument is her sword we know Rika goes back if she's damaged enough, domains don't work on her and she's more skilled than yuta in hand to hand combat because that's all she can do or it could be like rock, paper, scissors and hakari beats maki. sukuna also was more interested in her than yuji so I consider her special grade 100% but I think yuji is grade 1 or supreme grade 1 because he's not slumped with the 3 heavy hitters but with higaruma a grade 1. And I think due to the gojo's statement I think he wanted maki to deal with smth else herself why why send 3 people to deal with a two person threat, then maki might deal with kenny
Having a weapon isnt what determines someones grade though, what they can do w/o said cursed tool does though. Toji with playful cloud was substantially way better than Maki vs Dagon when she herself had playful cloud, at that point Toji would of been special grade & Maki grade 1 or grade 2. But now its easy to argue Maki would be special grade if she scales anywhere around the level of Toji who was able to take out two special grades, teen Geto & teen Gojo. I also would argue that Yuji at this point is also low special grade level just from how he kept up with Maki & Sukuna in their fight, but he may scale way higher now post time skip.
@@wolimoli oh i 100% agree he was saying maki might be the weakest of the 3 so I'm just giving reasons why I think she beats both of them and the sword is the soul split katana which ignores durability, I could've worded it better but I'm high and lazy tbh
I feel like we cant judge these three or even yuta right now as they had that 1 month time skip, plus if you reread the Gojo vs Sukuna fight, you can see everyone learning and thinking whenever Gojo did something new or pulled off something people thought was impossible to pull off. I feel like that small time frame of them watching their sensei fight, helped them understand CTs as a whole way better.
And another interesting thing is Gojo sucks at training someone personally as he’s just naturally good at anything he tries but taking that into account he trains them by watching his fight against Sukuna, he actually pulls off a bunch of things we see the students do but in his own Gojo way, activating his domain expansion multiple times in a day(Hakari) but Gojo then shows you can manipulate your domain barrier, Reverse Curse Technique (Yuta) but then Gojo shows you can heal your fatigue put on yourself from over using your domain, delaying your curse technique from activating (Yuji), Gojo puts his own spin on this to create his coup de Grace on Sukuna at the end of the battle
it’d make sense for maki to be a special grade curse exerciser but a grade 4 sorcerer since she has absolutely no cursed energy
I mean it’s clearly obvious that maki is special grade… If she’s on par with toji who no diffed a special grade curse in Dagon. That would automatically make her one by default.
Just because I've missed you uploading. I can name a few sorcerers who should be special grade as well. Keep it up 🐐
My king 😭😭
@@xmere🫡
Name them then
@@xmereThink 🤔 there are secrets to the 🏡 Heian Era and more hidden ages besides that 1 .
I think the term of "special grade" is being used too loosely nowadays. I don't think Gojo's inference on other character's powers should be used to determine if these characters are worthy of holding the title of Special Grade. Special grade is part of an official classification system that precedes Gojo's birth, so why did Gojo's opinion matter so much in this video. If we went by the standards being presented in this video, we can also conclude that characters like characters like Takaba and Megumi are also potential Special grade (maybe not now but they will be eventually). If anything Kenjaku's knowledge and qualification requirements are a much more concise and objective indicator of who should be given the special grade title, though it may classify. If we went by Kenjaku's definition the only character between Hakari, Maki and Yuji, that will have the potential of being classify as a special grade is Maki (I agree with everything he said with Maki in the video). Hakari having to rely on hitting jackpot and is only OP for 4:11 minutes at a time is below special grade standard. As good as Hakari CT is, how can his ability be able to topple a whole nation? I also agree with everything he said about Yuji (it too early and Yuji will need a lot of upgrade to be considered a special grade).
His ability can topple a whole nation if you couple it with his sheer speed and strength, he's also special grade because he can beat Kashimo (who is definitely classified as Special Grade even without the use of his CT)
But if you don't wanna take that as well, Hakari can also beat
Ryu Ishigori and Takako Uro who are both Unregistered Special Grades as they can keep up with Yuta (who is definitely a Special Grade) although granted, Yuta was definitely holding back a fair bit
People meat ride the “topple a nation statement” while simultaneously misrepresenting it.
In that’s same fight where he makes that statement he’s going against Yuki. An interesting thing that Kenjaku points out is that’s Yukis technique is not in the Jujutsu Tech Registry. Meaning that she was given the rank without having to disclose her technique.
I see a lot of people say that it’s because she can make a black hole and that’s why she was given the rank but that doesn’t make sense given what Kenjaku revealed. How could they know she could do that while also not knowing her CT?
This isn’t out of the realm of possibility considering Kusikabe, a grade 1 sorcerer was also ranked despite not having an innate technique.
So the whole nation statement likely means that’s conventional military won’t be able to take them down.
@@Misquif Hakari’s ability is basically just a physical power boost coupled with RCT. There is no evidence that Hakari can start on the one side of the a nation and go on to destroy every single thing in his path until he gets to the other side unless we assume that he’s going to do it like he’s the Hulk and punch everything in his path while he’s in jackpot. Ishigori at the very least had a blast cannon that can actually do damage on a consistent basis. Uro can literally control the sky. Kashimo was never stated to be on the level of a special grade (to my knowledge). Even Uruame has an better chance of being a special grade than Hakari since their CT is destructive enough. I’m not saying Hakari can’t beat special grade level opponents. I’m just saying that his CT isn’t special grade worthy.
The fact of the matter is power alone isn’t the only requirement to be that needs to be considered when it comes to special grade status. When it comes to a special grade, you should be able to take over a whole country. Based on this, Hakari doesn’t fit the second requirement.
@@EffinFatai It all depends on the size of the nation imo, if its like the USA, probably not but if its like the size of Chad, most likely he'd destroy the entire country
With his speed, he wouldn't need jackpot for quite a while because he's fast enough to dodge bullets and strong enough that he can destroy containers
Brother at the start of the vid I said the requirement I will be using for someone being special grade is if they have strength equal to, comparable, or stronger than a special grade. I only brought up Gojo and Kenjaku’s statements to show what they consider a special grade to be. So no you cant call Megumi special grade by my standards you just made that up, he has no feats or statements that make him comparable to any current special grade, which is the requirement I said I was using.
Hey, loved the vid but I think you made a tiny mistake in the Maki section. Kenjaku's domain is barrierless so he'll be able to effect Maki with the surehit. (See Kenjaku vs Yuki and Choso fight). So I think Kenjaku would wipe the floor with Maki.
That's wrong
Sukuna's domain affects people like Maki because his technique targets objects without cursed energy.
Kenjaku's domain has never been specified to have a technique that targets objects
Open barrier doesn't automatically mean that you can deal with people like Maki
@@marcioamaral7511it’s actually a combination of both. Sukuna’s domain is open which means there’s no barrier or at least no barrier to trap people in. Because of this Maki can’t just decide not to get caught in it like a normal barrier’d domain. Then his dismantle ability is able to target inanimate objects.
Technically speaking if Kenjaku’s domain is an AOE Maki should be able to get hit by it though it wouldn’t be able to target her.
thats not how it works tho, sure hits cant attack inanimate objects full stop. Sukuna's only can because Dismantle can attack inanimate objects
@@soapyhonkaiThis is slightly incorrect. The "sure hit" attacks _can_ hit inanimate objects, they're just no longer sure hits and the sorcerer has to manually aim it.
most sure hits use cursed energy as a targeting system. that’s the reason why maki and toji can’t be affected or targeted by most sure hits. the only one that can is sukuna, since dismantle attacks both animate and inanimate objects
Very well structured video. I loved the efforts you put into the video. Sub well deserved :)
KING ❤️❤️
Only reason gambling boy isn't officially special grade is because the former higher ups are ultra haters and Hakari most likely didnt give a crap about getting the official tag. Also yeah maki and toji dont really fit the grades because they're anomalies, I agree with that sentiment but they are near that level I guess. Yuji will most likely be special grade at the end of the series I imagine if theres even a system like the old one brought back or even a society left to give him the grade lol
Toji is definitely S grade, way above "near"
@@TheNonHiddenSingularityYh idk what bro in about lol
that is such a stupid assumption that is in no way based in reality. none of the higher ups like Yaga. they probably hate him way more than hakari and they still wanted to give Yaga special grade. special grade is an assessment of threat not how much the higher ups like you.
Not really it stated that a special grade can overthrow a country on the whim. Hakari’s curse technique while powerful isn’t going to that. His healing means immortality for a short time but when boxing an entire country either his luck is going to run out or the country can win by sealing/imprisonment in the long run as a way to bypass the immortality. He’s a similar case with Naobito, where the technique is op but not in some aspects required to be considered a special grade.
@@lynnusuk2092 nah he can spam DE when his timer is running low and because it increases his probability by a lot mathematically he will just hit the jackpot again and again from just trying again and again and I don’t see how the military would stop him (btw I think i should make it clear we are using the Japanese military as the comparison for obvious reasons)
7:46 Do we know if a cut at the neck would stop Hakari’s automatic reverse curse technique, since I mean the brain would still be intact so would it just be able to bring you back from the stump down?
Now if Sukuna sliced through the forehead like he did to Yuji that one time, I’m sure that’d get him.
Gojo said to toji that cutting of his head would've prevented him from using rct. So i think that even if the head isn't destroyed regenerating an entire body is almost impossible, seeing that regrowing a limb is seen as a special feat.
@@arne7522yeah but Gojo has a brain that knows RCT. People keep missing this. Hakari does NOT know how to use RCT. So that means that part of his brain that would control RCT is not developed yet.
Think of Hakari in Jackpot Mode as being closer to curse spirits. His body is practically just a curse energy at that point. And his body just restores its form automatically (most likely the same way that Mahito shapes the body using the shape of the soul, so Hakari's body just keeps maintaining the shape of the body based on the shape of his soul). So unless his soul is attacked and changed its shape, then his automatic RCT won't probably restore his original body's shape.
Think of it this way: Hakari's brain cannot do RCT and Hakari's body performed RCT while he was unconscious.
Hakari is so far the only human who will probably grow his body from a severed head the way Jogo regrew his entire body from just the head and at a faster rate because unlike Jogo, he has infinite curse energy within that 4 minutes.
@@arne7522 Uh, technically that's not what Gojo said. He said it would've prevented him from learning RCT, since he would've died instantly. Kashimo vs Hakari? Kashimo says destroying the head is the sure fire way to kill Hakari.
Also Gojo vs Toji? He literally just learned RCT... Meanwhile Hakari has shown the best usage of RCT in the series other than Sukuna. Hakari doesn't even think about it... it just happens. So Hakari is honestly a very special case and the rules for him might be different than for others.
@@daymianhogue1634I would even say that Hakari has a better RCE than Sukuna, on the right against Gojo he was having problems healing by the end, but we didn't saw anything like that on Hakari
@@joacoguerrero98 in fairness we also don't know how long the Gojo vs Sukuna fight was. And Sukuna was throwing out tons of things. Meanwhile Hakari only does RCT with unlimited CE which makes comparing him to a heavily weakened Sukuna a bit wonky. But I do understand it.
Maki was able to defeat curse spirit Naoya though, who is a stronger version of his living self. If Naoya is taken to be a really strong grade 1, he should just edge out to special grade as a curse spirit. Yeah Maki received help in that fight but by the end of it she was able to fight him on equal grounds.
And curse Naoya would most likely destroy the other disaster curses if he is not feeling so arrogant (which even in human form dislikes using weapons when he could destroy most of his opponents if only he has some sense). So yeah, Naoya is for sure special grade. And Maki's completed version makes her a special grade.
Taking note that the grading is highly political and was even stated in the manga that the only reason Maki has not been promoted much ealier is because the Zenin clan is preventing it and only when Todo (who does not care about the higher ups) nominated that it was considered.
Maki is also immune to domain expansion too and can cross any barrier.
You'd need to be capable of easily exorcising a special grade if you want to be eligible for Special Grade. Like taking little to no damage?
@@FenShen-us9tv She would be destroyed by Sukuna's Domain tho. And if Kenjaku's domain also target non-living things like Sukuna's, Maki would also get rekt.
@@nameless_moon Yeah Sukuna and Kenjaku's domain can hit her
Hakari can’t overthrow a nation. His weakness is fighting multiple targets. While Hakari fight multiple people if he don’t catch them all in his domain someone can destroy it from the outside and cancel the game.
This is why he decided to fight Kashimo instead of going to where there was multiple strong opponents since he would be at disadvantage.
Another thing Yuta said stronger than him not stronger than him and Rika. Yuta always refer to Rika as her own entity
That is your head cannon. Hakari only said he will go fight the guy with the highest point. Yuta just went with the decision because he trust in Hakari's strength (even if he is actually stronger than him or not). And if you want to infer from that, it should be like this: The player with the highest point is the guy who is ready and has been killing other players. And this was proven immediatel with Panda who was attacked and "killed" almost immediately. And knowing that of all the crew, Hakari is the only one who can actually die and still not die, i.e. killed a couple of times and probably tire out the guy and make him give up his points (because that is actually their main objective). Another proof of that is Charles' life being spared by Hakari. So yeah, we don't know how Hakari will do against a group who will have slower domain activation time.
But in terms of overthrowing a nation, he probably won't be able to do it especially if he just uses his hands. Principal Yaga with an army of curse dolls will do much much better.
But Hakari on a killing spree can probably overthrow a small nation because with millions of people to activate his RCT on, he will be on a continuous roll. The nation need to be prepared enough for him so they can use traps. But on a straight up fight? Nah, he will dominate their armies. They would need to use long distance missiles to incapacitate him and limit his ability to activate his domain. But if he enters a nation with people, civilians and militant combined, that nation be better prepared to bomb their own people.
@@angrymeowngi what is the weakness to every domain (even Gojo) that has a barrier? What is Hakari CT?
Now again if Hakari can capture everyone in his domain then nobody is on the outside to break his barrier. I believe Hakari will always hit jackpot somehow probably by rigging the game.
Hakari ct is opening his domain and we all know domains (except Kenny and Sukuna) are all weak on the outside. It’s not headcannon it’s the facts we been told from the start.
Him going to fight 1 opponent instead of fighting multiple that’s me making a educated guess based off the fact his ct is a domain
@@ta15235being weak on the outside can be changed with a binding vow
@@jinmali Then Yuta can escape from the inside can’t be strong on both inside and outside. Also he not Gojo and Sukuna what they did was on a different level. Hakari domain is weak vs multiple combatants it’s easy to see.
If you want to use your hypothetical then since Hakari domain sure hit is the rules Yuta can make a binding vow to make the inside of his domain stronger while Hakari makes his outside stronger. Then he will get hit by Yuta domain 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ just accept he would lose a 2v1
@@ta15235 yuta would have to be able to destroy it while dealing with Hakari attacking him he’s not just gonna be able to destroy it while fighting Hakari. Also if Hakari was being attacked by yuta and rika at the same time I’d assume that means they would be within close proximity to each other so she would be enclosed in the barrier with him wouldn’t she?
I disagree with the point of kenjaku’s domain expansion not effecting maki. First, we dont know the actual sure-hit effect currently. Second, when we see the sure hit effect of another domain expansion of the same category as his, Malevolent Shrine, it is shown that the sure-hit effect of it can annihilate non-living objects, which would include maki. This means there are domains that would effect maki. We don’t know if kenjaku’s would, but since it hasn’t been seen yet, we cant just say it wouldnt work.
Kenjaku is the 2nd best barrier user so he could change conditions easily if he wasn't headless rn
I personally believe that it is possible to regrow your head with RCT via a binding vow. In exchange for something, you can use a binding vow to store positive CE in your neck/body, and if you lose your head the binding vow will activate to use that stored positive CE to regrow it. It would take a lot of planning, and probably would cost something heavy, but it’s possible.
Edit: also, look at the color pages of the 2 latest chapters. Yuji’s arms are not Sukuna arms, they’ve transformed into something never before seen.
Hakari may actually be an exemption from what we've seen so far. His RCT is automatic and does not rely on his "brain" for control because it was even stated that Hakari does not actually know how to perform RCT. That means the part of his brain that would contain the RCT control is not developed for that purpose. So technically Hakari in RCT is closer to curse spirits and that he can probably grow his body from just the head alone the same way that Jogo grew back his body just from the head. So yeah, Sukuna cutting his neck won't really 'cut it'. And even if Sukuna did try the Ryu version, as long as there is a major portion of his body, he probably will RCT because his entire body is practically just curse energy while in Jackpot Mode. So Sukuna has to time it with his Jackpot's last second.
@@angrymeowngiMy Hypothesis is the reverse cursed technique is created from the cursed energy in Hakari's body inevitably clashing with itself because there is so much of it
@@angrymeowngithis is headcanon
He brain is still doing it it automatically
I’d like to see a discussion about Mechamaru’s heavenly restriction and what it could be. Cause we’ve seen Toji and Maki both have some crazy abilities all things considered with their heavenly restrictions so do you think Mechamaru’s might have had some effects and changes we just never got to see?
I believe Mechamaru's heavenly restriction is something about him being constantly near-fatally injured, but he's able to use his lifespan as a form/source of cursed energy
@@spinnxng8902 his restriction enabled him to use cursed energy from great distances and also store cursed energy. If he was allowed to grow after getting his body fixed, he would have been a beast.
@@spinnxng8902 Yeah im aware of that, but I dont think he expends lifespan for cursed energy I believe he made excess amounts of cursed energy that he had to use elsewhere hence the "17 years of CE" shit. Im just curious if he had FUTURE abilities that we never got to see cause he died
@@spinnxng8902 he did NOT use his lifespan. But over the course of his life he was able to store any excess cursed energy he produced. Which he did, and he could then use later.

Maki and Toji have an amazing body, but zero CE

Kenjaku's domain is similar to Sukuna's in the respect that's it doesn't have a barrier so it wouldn't be something Maki could just run in and out of like she did to Naoya. little edit he also has the gravity technique and most likely a few other unknown techniques.
I made the same comment about kenjaku's domain being barrier less.

I think of it like this, “Maki: grade 1 sorcerer” just doesn’t sound right 😅 she put hands on some high caliber people and definitely a special grade level opponent even if it was 2v1
Great vid bro, awesome pacing and editing
Also Toji came in and straight up worked Dagon a special grade curse so that means that maki would also be Able to work Dagon
I think its unclear currently if gojos statement was rooted in power rather than strategy. It could be that their plan for fighting sukuna and kenjaku requires maki to stand back or it could just be an acknowledgement of a potentially bad match up rather than a flat scaling situation
7:50 sukuna slicing hakari's neck off would kill him. ONLY IF the neck flew off.
exactly as you had said, sukuna sliced off gojo's head in one swoop and gojo simply healed it with reversed cursed technique before it was too far from gojo's torso to heal.
Hakari would need to be obliterated completely in one move to be killed, just like how mahoraga got demolished by the fire arrow from sukuna.
hakari having his head destroyed isn't that hard gojo could do it with blue sukuna could just slice his head in half yuki is a great counter to hakari so is maki the only person you argue is yuta who we haven't seen much of due to him not using his ct fully
@@bloodwolf6818 everything you said is true, blue can even destroy sukuna IF it hit, and sukuna could easily shred hakari's head.
though my point is that we don't even know what sukuna is actually capable of despite all of his feats so far. for example, when gojo got his neck sliced off why didnt sukuna just shred gojo into little cubes? we've seen him done it multiple times and he chooses not to do it to gojo, which leads me to believe that sukuna is way stronger than we believe him to be. sukuna could've just been cocky or maybe he is unable to fully control cleave and dismantle in certain situations, OR it could just be a plot hole.
One situation where sukuna was unable to control his dismantle properly was against the first finger bearer we see in the show, leading him to slice the curse into way more than 3 slices, mentioning that it was weaker than he thought. This could mean that sukuna's dismantle is based on how strong or how weak the enemy is and that not even sukuna has full proficiency with that technique.
Plus after kenjaku beat both Yuki and choso, Maki stated that "It seems we cant beat him through conventional means"
16:54 Teen Gojo and Geto weren't the strongest sorcerers. Gojo claimed they were but that's just cap. It isn't until Gojo awakened, unlocks reverse curse technique and prepares to use Hollow Purple that Toji grows warry and wonders if Gojo MIGHT be the strongest sorcerer in the world. We also saw that Geto was Grade 1 in the chart explaining curse manipulation.
Gojo seen Geto as a peer so at the time they were close enough to be “Equal”. This teen gojo was still extremely revered in the jujutsu world like shifting the balance. They as teens were definitely competitive for the strongest title. At the time the only person who could contest them was like Yuki.
@@Insidious-K baby gojo already sifted the balance, and he wasn't beating anyone. Yuki would low diff either of them. Geto was literally a Grade 1 sorcerer. Gojo didn't even know reverse curse technique or have a domain either.
With anyone in special grade being that they can overthrow or have the potential to overthrow nations then yeah they’d be special grade considering that toji beat teen gojo and kenjaku and with maki being stronger if not comparable to toji and hakari scaling to this and yuji keeping up with maki they’d definitely be special grade unless we’re talking about current special grades because even yuki could beat them all one on one much less someone like yuta or gojo either way they’d be top tier 1st grade or low tier special grade
I feel like Maki is 'weaker' than Toji in the sense that they're equal as individuals, but Toji had a much larger arsenal available to him (as well as the means to conceal them on his person to become 100% undetectable) when he defeated Geto (Also exhausted/injured Gojo, but it's cleaner to just use Geto who was mostly fresh and already aware of him when the fight started) while Maki only has one of his many tools that she has to carry on her, meaning that with careful observation she could still be tracked by tracking the katana.
I think the easiest and most oversimplified way of identifying a special grade is if they could realistically exorcise a disaster curse all by themself. I can see Yuta, Maki and Hakari beating a disaster curse with relative ease but I just don't see Yuji doing the same.
Bruh yuji fought mahito and won sure he had todo but mahito beat him when he was still grieving "someone " and this was at shibuya arc the current yuji is beating ass there

I put Hakari in a similar realm to Mechamaru, under very specific circumstances he reaches the level of a special grade sorcerer, but he shouldn't be considered one since most of the time he's not at that level

New sub fam
Hey mere! U think u can do a ryu vs hakari video?
I don’t think the gojo statement is all abt power, but rather matchups. Hakari can become immortal and Yuta possesses RCT, Maki doesn’t have that. She heals quickly, but against Sukuna quick isn’t enough. So it doesn’t say she’s weaker then them, but that’s she’s a bad matchup for Sukuna’s massive output
Two things I’d like to say!! I think you were being a bit disingenuous to Kenjaku, bc I don’t think that the statement implies that he’d run from Maki, but that if he got double teamed by Maki and another strong sorcerer he’d be in danger. Two! This might be the copium in me but I think Maki is probably on the same level as Yuta and Hakkari, and Gojo’s statement is probably because he can easily measure their strength with his Six Eyes (he sees their cursed energy and stuff) but, again, probably the copium in me.
Anyway loved this video :D
Maki is definitely special grade. First, Gojo and Geto were already special grades during pre-inventory because they’re the two strongest. Ch. 66. Toji kills pre-amped Gojo and washes Geto. Maki is equivalent to Toji so should be special grade for that reason.
Second, Maki performs very impressively against Sukuna. Maki casually opened the fight with a wrist lock followed by several blows to Sukuna’s face. It’s l unclear how her katana would affect RCT. And Sukana landed a clean strike to Maki’s face and she merely spit out a tooth, exciting Sukuna. She performed better than Jogo, who couldn’t even land a hit.

Special grade is used to loosely. Any one not directly acknowledged to be a special grade at this point in the story isn't a special grade.
Gojo/Sukuna, Yuta, kenjaku, geto are the only special grades.
Yuji ESPECIALLY is not and probably NEVER will be a special grade. Just stop the coping around him. He's weak as hell.
Yuki is also a special grade and we haven't even seen what Yuji can do, stop making presumption about him being weak.
Ranking would be nicer if there was another tier for Fighters such as Maki and Hikari that i would call "Semi-Special Grade"
heres something. even if sukuna cut off hakari's head (7:45) then, wouldn't he be able to instantly regrow his entire body below the neck from the cut off head?
If Yuji, Maki, Hakari, and Megumi survive, they'll be classified as special-grade sorcerers. Gege stopped using the rank of special grade to keep up the mystique of “special grade.”
Pretty sure megumi is dead
@@enenra6417 I kinda doubt it. His soul is still present (albeit far from a great state) and he can make himself a shadow in his domain expansion. Maybe he can make himself a new body if/when he's free
@tatersalad76 I don't think he's gonna be in the best shape after getting hit with infinite void for 6 minutes and you have to remember what remained of Megumi's body was assimilated into Sukuna's heian Era form
@@enenra6417 Higuruma's hax can bypass that, and Megumi has too much plot armor to die like that, i.e., he has to die in a way that is significant to the story and impacts the characters. Gege will find a way to write Megumi back into the story.
@sayyidf.b.6378 megumi having plot armor? Yeah, I don't think that anymore after all the times Gege has made this man suffer and what can he even do anymore his most powerful shinigami is dead and most of his shinigami are dead. And bro's soul got hit with years worth of mindless information
I can see there being different levels of Special Grade, like low-spec, mid-spec, and high-spec given the range of all who have been so far classified as such.
The thing with jackpot as weve seen its not just one machine running if ANY machine is running and hits jackpot hes immortal and can run hands doesn't matter if a ability takes thirty times to land if the thirty times happens at once
best jjk youtuber around❗❗
Grade 1 to special grade is a bit arbitrary as the idea was created way before characters started getting exoteric or mega powerful powers. Just because you can beat a special grade doesn't mean you are a special grade. As special grade main requirement is if they can do mass destruction or destroys something of a large size (a country).
If I have the ability to summon a giant meteor from space that can blow up all of Japan but takes me 10 years of channeling my strength to do so. I would still be "special grade" even if a grade 4 sorcerer can beat me.
If I have the ability to create the zombie virus and spread it whenever I want. I can be special grade by the virtue of it easily taking down an nation that way even if other sorcerers can easily defeat the zombies.
The reason why it's confusing in a battle Shonen like JJK is because characters of higher grades also tend to directly just have much higher stats in terms of physical/direct on fights with massive difference between characters.
So it's an matter of opinion of special grade is who is the "strongest" sorcerers in terms of combat or special grade as in anomalies that can take down society.
If they survive the fight against Sukuna and Kenjaku, then they gotta be special grade.
Whats the background music, goes hard
Results for ppl who dont wanna watch the entire video : maki yes but very low special grade strength, hakari yes. Yuji yes but if he had more cursed energy and domain.
W summary
@@xmere thanks
7:50 i don't believe that's true. A lightning is obviously very fast, and his RCT was able to heal that. And we saw gojo heal a slice to the neck. as the cut was veing formed, he healed it instantly, that way his head never disconected. I'm sure Hakari can do the same, especially after we saw how fast he could heal the lightning.
Yeah I got this comment from someone else too. Let me clarify. In that moment I was talking about ways to kill Hakari, so Assuming his head got removed from his body Via a cut, he would die. But yeah I agree if the cut isnt strong enough to fully go through his neck, he would just heal it.
i dont read manga but i think it would be hilarious if hakari constantly had "lucky charms" on him like rabbits feet, four leaf clovers, and all that
The thing about special grade ranking is that you need to be able to take down a country on your own, as stated by Kenjaku, and without a strong enough CT one can never achieve it regardless of how strong they physically are, which includes all 3 of them xd, as none of them have outstandingly strong CT, hell Maki and Yuji don't even have one to begin with. But as Gojo said when they reach their full potential the rank of special geade will become obsolete, as even if they cannot be classified as special grades due to not having CTs strong enough, they would be so physically gifted that they could just beat any special grade with just pure hands, so then what would special grade even mean anymore. They are going to surpass special grade, not achieve it!
The same reason that Principal Yaga must be a special grade. An unhinged Yaga creating an army of curse dolls? Yeah, he can take over a country.
But I'll disagree on just plain lacking a strong enough CT if you mean lacking instantaneous destructive power.
There are cases where Maki and Yuji can take on a small country. Not every country has the military power of US and other members of the Security Council. And really, a nuclear weapon only works if the enemy is outside the country or at least in an area where that country won't think twice bombing. Of course if you will not allow Maki, Yuji and Hakari to use weapons, sure. But with access to some weapons? They just need to infiltrate the country and go from there. Sure it will not do it in a day like Gojo or Yuki, but they will eventually be able to do it.
And if you say the benchmark for a country is the US, and they know they will be attacked, then I think only Gojo has the chance because he is the only one who can teleport there or intercept a nuclear weapon and send it back. Yuki with her destructive powers will just get nuked before she leaves Japan.
WAIT, IN THOSE PANELS. THE SMILES ARE FLIPPED.
Toji is smiling when he stabs, and Gojo (who wasnt smiling) wins. Sukuna is smiling while Maki isn't, I think that's deliberate.
Toji literally killed 2 special grade sorcerers by himself. He wasn't even in his prime.
Geto was a grade 1 back then.
Neither Gojo nor geto were special grade level back then also toji would have lost to gojo if not for his cursed tools.
@@AnimeLover-xf2ld gojo was stated special grade back then
Wild how Yuta is the only special grade sorcerer from the previous rankings left standing
the reason why Maki isn't on the level of Hakari and Yuta is RCT(healing), that she cannot use at all.
Yeah, "she might have faster regeneration", but is it matter, if Yuta's RCT can regrow part of your body in 20-30 seconds? (not even mention Hakari's instant RCT)
21:52, that didnt age very well
I think the Gojo statement is difficult to scale Maki off of because i don’t think Gojo is speaking about being physically weaker than Yuta or Hakari, hence why Maki was mentioned. I think he’s talking more so about his CE.
Toji defeated Geto and Gojo. Maki is special grade there's no fence to sit on lmfao
I understand that gojo has the six eyes and is aware of tojis heavenly pact. However gojo stated hikari and yuta are strongest before she was realized. And the six eyes mostly measures CE and techniques. Not necessarily physical prowess
Yuji is also a black flash genius cant wait to see him chain it some more
I think Hikari is and isn't. i feel the statement of special grades being able to control all ounces of their cursed energy is key to my detraction from it. Hikari as we know can't use RCT normally which all special grades can(since they can accurately control curse energy from the head)which leads to my only fault with the rank. But then again I feel Maki is special grade so why not him as well
IMO why gojo made that distinction /excluding maki is that she is heavenly restricted so gojo is just saying "only jump sukuna if he is "weaker" than either yuta or hakari as they are more tradtional sorcerers with cursed energy and techniques and all but who knows maybe gojo just means overall strength lol
Gojo still letting out the toji salt all those years ago, mf prob wanted to hollow purple maki
I’m not dissing you or saying that you’re wrong or anything but I’m pretty sure the reason why Gojo said that was because Soukouna is a bad matchup for Maki with how much range abilities he has in the speed that he got now to actually contest with Gojo, so he could just keep her at a distance, and he could just one shot her at range
If were talking on the description and expectations of a Special Grade being able to overthrow a nation then I don't think with their current abilities they do. With that said, if were talking on the basis of fighters they can best then Maki, Yuji, and Hakari are unquestionably that strong.
Gojo also probably wouldnt want maki to fight sukuna because she doesnt have the CT to be able to heal herself, which is a very important thing to be able to do if youre fighting against sukuna because of his cleave and dismantle.
Honestly all pondering does is showing just the sheer size of the trench between Special Grade and everything else. When even absolutely decimating even a prodigy Grade 1 or fighting several Grade 1's at once might not be enough to cross the barrier.
I’m pretty sure we were explained to fairly early on that Sorcerer grades are established based off of your cursed energy and your cursed techniques strength and versatility. Special grades are said to be able to destroy a country, and I think Hakari and Yuji both are semi-special to special grade level at this point. But Maki by definition, can’t be special grade. She doesn’t adhere to the grading system, as she isn’t technically a sorcerer or curse user. She doesn’t have cursed energy or a technique. She transcends the grading system in that aspect, as she has all the skill and power of a special grade, but without the CE and CT.
with yuji having Rct and a curse technique now i think he is getting up their and i also saw a databook that said that if yuji were to fought jogo if yuji could land 5 black flashes on jogo he would be dead so i think at this part of the manga he is definitely special grade because jogo is a unregitered special grade so he is definitely special grade so yeah
Kenjakus domain would still effect maki because when he was fighting yuki his gravity caused the ground to get crushed under Yuki
It can affect them it just wouldn't be sure hit as a sure hit uses the targets ce to track them
@@Nathan24634 correct
I think there should exist something like semi - special grade cause if semi grade 1 exist (Inu and if i remember Mechamaru) it would make more sense,but grades probably are removed since authorities are killed > they made most of rules so there probably no longer real grade of sorcerers
I think that we can look at this from the opposite perspective of why they cant be ranked lower than special grade. If we look at any solid grade 1 sorcerers, the three of them are way beyond that. Nanami and Todo are strong grade 1 sorcerers but they are far below the level of these 3 so it only makes sense they are special grade
I would’ve expelled Hakari too if I got his curse technique forced into my head. Basically unlimited void levels of info dump
Another thing you could take into account when Gojo made that statement of don't come in unless I'm weaker than yuta or hakari could be his cursed energy out put. Sense you cant measure how much curse energy maki has it would be best to compare his curse energy levels to yuta and hakari.
Maki is the same as Toji, there is no doubt she is special grade.
Hakari was able to win against kashimo (i know he didn't use his cursed technique, BUT his abilities alone put him on another level, and Hakari won against him), also Yuta said that when Hakari is worked up, i guess meaning when he hits jackpot he is stronger than Yuta, yuta is special grade, if Hakari is stronger than Yuta then he's automatically special grade.
the only one who i don't think qualifies YET is Yuji.
Personally, Yuji with sukuna is 100% special grade since hes quite litterally the vessel for the king of curses. Post-meguna hes high 1st grade. Maki should probably be special grade since she scales to toji which is 100% special grade. Hakari is debatebly special grade since yuta said he could beat him if he had jackpot active, although maki just said he was capping so idrk.
yuji with sukuna doesn’t mean anything. yuji can easily die (yuji vs yuta, yuji vs choso) even tho he has sukuna in his body because sukuna doesn’t really care if yuji dies, he’s not helping yuji unless yuji wants to but knowing yuji, he’s never going to swap with sukuna because he doesn’t trust him and I wouldn’t too
I mean it in the case like yuta, Yuuji still hosts Sukuna which caused massive devastation to shibiya by just being summoned
And by yuta i mean that he was only considered special grade because of rika before she was release. Same works with yuuji and him being a ticking time bomb with sukuna inside him
I think if they had a semi special grade classification that's where yuji would be after sukuna left his body because he was physically keeping up with a 15f sukuna and maki
Did u forget kenjaku’s domain is open bro ?
For maki it depends, if we count toji as special grade then she is since it’s stated both her and toji are equal in terms of physic
You have a few things wrong. It’s never implied yuji has little to no cursed energies. It’s the opposite in fact. He’s usually always said to have at least an above average amount. It’s the fact that he has no cursed technique is why he can’t win a lot of fights. But make no mistake. He has a good amount of cursed energy. Not Yuta level of course. But a good amount.
When I said Yuji REACHED G1 level with little CE, I was talking about Goodwill, where even tho he could keep up with Todo in their fight, and Todo said Yuji was devouring him, Yuji still had little to no CE control, and Todo had to teach him how to flow cursed energy through his body later in those chapters. Yea now Yuji has normal CE. Also in the Higuruma fight Yuji was able to fight against him with no CE.
@@xmere yeah. Yuji is a super human, but he still has high amounts of cursed energy, which is why he wasn’t affected all that much when his ce was taken away. Tbh this is not a conversation bout any yuji that isn’t the current one. So bringing up his lack of ce control from the beginning of the story when trying to scale current yujis power is just laughable. Current yuji has enough cursed energy output and control to put him on the same level as a heavenly restriction user in terms of raw speed and power. Which again. That’s a very short list of fighters who can scale to that speed and power level. So at minimum his cursed energy amount would have ti be significantly higher than most sorcerers. Most likely on par with characters like kashimo in terms of amounts. Again. At minimum he’d be on par with maki and toji in terms of scaling.
Question how does the inverted spear of heaven interact with hakaris domain?
Are you sure hakari got expelled? i thought he was just suspended, and im pretty sure hakari is a semi-grade 1
Should be special grade.
@@sky-oq5mr you don't lose your grade if you get expelled or become a criminal. we know this from geto AND Yaga. everyone wanting hakari to be special grade are ignoring the obvious fact that he just isn't. if he was there would be 5 special grades but theres not.
@@jacjac7154he is suspended not expelled. Reread , comprehension Devil back at it
@odontoxins3223 I misspoke. But that strengthens my argument because they DEFINITELY aren't denying him special grade just cause he got suspended.
Well with the gojo statement for maki I think he may have meant that fight specifically. RCT is basically a requirement to fight sukuna and maki wouldn’t be able to fight that vs fight geto she stands a chance blocking or dodging.
yuji tanking 20 finger sukuna in todays jjk leak should be enough to be in special grade right?
Are "sorcerer grades" still a thing in JJK? That hasn't been a big deal in forever.
I just though special grade ment that they were so strong that the higher ups didn't have any way of controlling them or give them order.
I thought Kenjaku had an open domain? Wouldn’t that still affect Maki/Toji?
Yes it will affect maki and toji
I'd believe maki is definitely special grade majorly because apart from the two outliers (gojo and sukuna). Anybody who fights Maki and isn't deathly serious or slips up even the slightest gets beaten by her. Sge physically outdoes basically everyone, and hard counters their domain. Like Hakari's domain doesn't work on her. About the Gojo statement i'm not sure it's too accurate to lower her level. Gojo long ago already said they could surpass him, because he understands their curse energy and technique. It's quite possible he doesn't even know how strong current Maki is. Since 6 eyes won't be able to judge her.
I actually think she fits snugly into special grade below yuta above Hakari.
Plus i think anyone who can take out the disaster curses with relative ease could almost be the opening to special grade. You see them destroying grade 1s but every special grade makes a meal out of them
I was going to watch the video but i went to the comments and saw that he put MAKI anything lower than SPECIAL GRADE i already knew he didn't knkw what he was talking about
I said Maki would be given special grade wym?
By the term and definition of special grade non of them really meets qualifications, but stats wise yes they are special grade level fighters
Personally I’m of the idea that maki faster and physically stronger than hakari. Her tools and h2h combat make her a ABSURDLY bad match up for hakari. I think that maki wasn’t included in the statement due to gojo referring to curse energy. Since that’s how they gauge strength 99% of the time
I agree with you but I think the writer was just not thinking of making when he wrote this gojo of all people should know not to gauge curse energy to measure strength when it comes to someone like maki
I feel your hyper fixation on gojos statement is a bit strange. That was something mentioned very early on in the series, and while I'm sure he understood that Maki had a similar Heavenly Restriction to Toji, the comment he made was, to me, intended to highlight a proximity to himself. That is, Hakari and Yuta, at the peak of their strength, would be comparable to Gojo, making them two of the most potentially powerful characters in the verse. Maki's omission from this group implies that Gojo doesn't think maki will ever be comparable to him, which is reasonable seeing as he handedly defeated Toji, but I don't think that not being comparable to Gojo is a measure of their actually strength, as he is literally the pinnacle of Sorcery; he IS the strongest. Consider Yuki or Geto; I would not say that they are comparable to Gojo, as individually, they can't hold a candle to gojos strength, and still they are special grade, because they show objective dominance over other sorcerers. Finally, this is all to say that I think maki would unquestionably be special grade, and the complete extermination of the Zenin Clan, along with a grade 1 sorcerers that had already shown themselves to be in the upper echelons of the Grade 1 Tier supports that statement wholly.
None of these Sorcerers can become special grade, because you simply can grow to become that level, you'd have to be born with an anomaly of a cursed technique.
Mere where you been at ?
life
@@xmerewelcome back !
Loved the vid, but i would have to disagree with your statement that maki is the lowest special grade, since she's on par with toji who defeated gojo and geto and also exorcised one of the diaster curses i believe that she may be a little above "lowest special grade"
geto was a grade 1 gojo was incredibly exhausted and dagon was just born fully so there is an argument to make that maki is the lowest
I believe maki and toji would be at adult geto so that checks out
Personally I think most people underrate yuji. He was somewhat relative to maki pre cursed wombs absorbtion. And now that he got his ct he was able to inflict damage on true form sukuna
Yeah and people misenterperet the whole sukuna was at 10% statement
Having the luck guy in same sentence is not saying they are the same level of power.
For his energy. The sentence does say infinite energy. It doest not say its limited.
