From what the manga tries to portray, Yuji & a few other characters has Special Grade level destruction/fight capabilities but can't be classified as such due to their inability to wrestle a country alone!!! * I still think Yuji lacks in terms of domain defenses, as long as we don't see a domain answer from him - he is kind of in a tough spot
I agree that we haven't seen a domain counter from him yet I think it's more likely than not seeing as he was asking about it with gojo and then trained with kusukabe and the fact he learned a much more difficult ability in rct I think it's highly likely that he has a simple domain along with his rct and blood manipulation any character on a similar level as him he should be able to competently fight within their domain
Honestly giving someone like Yuji RCT was the biggest buff you could give him. Yuji could already fight through more pain then damn near any other character in the series now that he can heal himself bro is actually a tank. This combined with the fact that every punch he lands drops your curse energy means that in a battle of attrition unless you have Sukuna levels of curse energy you're probably gonna gas out before he does and god forbid one of those is a black flash. Overall I'd say Yuji does now qualify for the special grade tier with what we've seen him show so far.
Misconception - Only shaman that parasite bodies will see their CE drops as Yuji hammers the barrier between their soul & their vessels souls. To others, Yujis punches are just punches
Honestly the hype yuji is given from the edit of skyfall against mahito aswell as his jusy vibe of not needing absolutely flaunting and important power like gojo. But i didnt watch the video yet and ive only read a tiny bit of the manga so i may be wrong about yuji not having a CT, although hints to something like soul manipulatoon. Anyways this sorta just gives hype with the phrase repeating "left right goodnight vibes"@@pbsuite
I feel like the problem that Special grade is too broad to be used to accurately describe a sorcerers power. Yuji IS a special grade, but he's nowhere close to the other special grades, and that is what causes disagreements. The special grade tier is simply too broad. Yuta's ability to copy any technique is absolutely absurd. Yuki makes black holes. Geto had like 6000 curses in his control. And then Gojo shoots lasers, can't be touched and has nearly unlimited energy. How can a fist fighter, even if they are becoming indestructible, compare to them? The gap in skill between grade 4-3-2-1 sorcerers seems pretty linear, but then all the special grades we see are like 10 grades beyond grade 1. Like seriously think about how there's just SO much room between someone like Grade 1 Nanami or Naobito to Special Grade Geto and Yuta. There's this giant gap between the two, and I think this makes people forget that to be special grade, you don't need to be Yuki, Geto, Yuta or Gojo strong. In the early chapters, we see that generally, a sorcerers grade means they win against a curse of the same level. So a grade 1 sorcerer is stronger than a grade 1 curse, who is stronger than a grade 2 sorcerer and so on. It doesn't seem unreasonable to assume that Special grade sorcerers are stronger than special grade curses. And given that current Yuji has the potential to beat pretty much every disaster curse, I think that alone means it's fair to give him title of Special Grade. We still need to see a domain answer, but right now he's not just beating finger special grades. He has the potential of beating the heavy hitters of the specials, and that does it for me. With RCT, he can even probably overthrow some small nations, so I don't think it's a crazy title to give him at all. Again though, the problem is that while special grade might start at, let's say, Grade -1, it doesn't have a ceiling. Nanami is grade 1 because he is a top tier fighter. Comparatively Yuji is now a BETTER fighter PLUS has healing PLUS blood hardening PLUS blood projectile PLUS blood explosions PLUS soul shenanigans. I'd say that together makes Yuji like a grade -5. In comparison though, Yuta is probably like a grade -10 with Rika, better RCT, Domain and technique copy. Meanwhile Gojo is Grade -100 and idk, is Sukuna like Grade -200? Getting into DBZ style power scaling, but you should see the problem here: hey're all in the same category, but not close in ability. Special grade just needs more designations, and this could be avoided. There should be a 'supreme special grade' for the god level powers of Gojo and Sukuna exclusively. Regular special grade title could then go to the ones with wildly crazy techniques like Yuta, Yuki and Geto. The likes of Yuji, Hakari, Choso, (and in terms of power, Maki and Toji) should then have a different title like Semi Special Grade. These are top tier, nearly indestructable fighters, but are at the end of the day, all just still technically fighters. They're great at fighting sorcerers, but there's just no way someone throwing fists should be in the same tier as someone making black holes. The 'semi' special grades just lack the cataclysmic oof of our classified Special Grades. Regardless, given the current grading system, Yuji, is deserving of Special Grade. Thank you for coming to my ted talk. tl;dr Special grade tier is an extremely wide umbrella term. Yuji is a special grade, he's just not as strong as the other special grades.
Bruh, Teen Geto was treated as a Special Grade Sorcerer and he literally got low diffed by Toji who didn't even need to resort to ANY Assassin tricks and strategies and just straight up fought him 1v1 head to head, and Current Yuji definitely at least is capable of keeping in pace and tank attacks against someone at Toji level, especially Current Yuji that has RCT, Soul Manipulation and Blood Manipulation. Yuji definitely is at least Special Grade Sorcerer at least equal to Teen Geto, above even due to his insane RCT mastery Geto NEVER HAD. Reminder that Current Maki, who is currently treated as Toji of this generation, is regarded by Gojo and Kenjaku as the Big 3 hitters with Hakari and FUCKING YUTA, and there's no way someone like Gojo and Kenjaku would overrate someone like Maki to be around Yuta's level if she doesn't have the ability to back it up.
Now that the fight is over, Yuji is easily a special grade. Even with his advantages against Sukuna with his soul attacks, if he wasn’t one of the strongest characters, he would not have survived and won even if with all the help he got.
I thought so too, but without confirmation I just ignored it. We don't know where Choso was or his current state whatsoever too, he's last seen on the ground and It's possible it's Yuji but I didn't feel comfortable saying it outright in a video
With RCT yuji has gotten rid off the main weakness of blood manipulation. He has mastered convergence, flowing red scale stack and can overwhelm sukunas soul. Our boi is a special grade
If not sheer destructive ability (Gojo, Sukuna, Yuki) then unlimited potential for growth seems to be the mark for special grades. Yuta and his copy ability, Geto and his ability to store unlimited curses, even Yaga and his ability to potentially stockpile an army of cursed puppets. Yuji and his ability to eat just about any cursed object to gain power from them would fit right in with the other special grade stockpile/growth types.
I didn’t and still can’t consider Yuji special grade yet, but if we weren’t following him and his growth and just saw him older or as a side character that was described to have eaten a bunch of cursed objects that can endlessly grow his power, that would be seen as a very special case
While I don't disagree that Yuji might have unlimited potential or whatever. None of the other examples you used work since they're more hax-related than potential. Especially Yuta's.
@@Joker_Zzthat statement is wrong or geto shouldnt be a special grade in the first place. In 10 years he didnt do shit to any country and no, it was not fear of gojo or anything he just that trash
I said this 1 year ago when 214 dropped and im gonna say it again "story isnt over , have patience . Everything will make sense at last" yuji is written better as a character bro , consistently improving.
It’s been a tough few years for yuji shibuya was not his best game but thsi year everything has changed my stonks, are up people might think sukuna could lose, BLACK FLASH, like 3 more abilities
Yuji extension technique Grab o flash "Grips an opponent and pull him towards yuji then do a barrage of black flashes" This will be lethal and awesome technique
10:29 red blue and purple arent extension techniques tho are they? blue is a lapse technique which is the base technique amplified to the max if im not mistaken (blue is an amplified version of the neutral limitless). Red is a reversal technique derived from blue. Purple i think is the only one that could be considered an extension technique but even then gojo specifically refers to it as "hollow technique"
Blue is an extension technique activated through lapse of normal limitless. Red is just a reversal of Blue, so it's also an extension. Purple is just merging both extensions, so it's also an extension. They just get special names because of rule of cool.
but yuji did use piercing blood tho 5:04 also its not HIS cursed technique , its not his innate technique that is he got it from Cursed womb death paintings he ate ( all 6 left)
What's kinda crazy is that most of the stuff that Yuji is doing RIGHT NOW is still inexperienced, now just imagine if he was capable of using all of the techniques and such he has at a mastered level. He'd be insane.
Im pretty sure he's also got infinite rct at least while he's biting himself and using Noratoshi's circulation technique, by continually eating sukuna's cursed energy infused into his body and using rct to make more blood. So Yuji might've poisoned himself over eating and choso might be teaching him how to heal it.
Special. Grade. Is. Not. Purely. About. Strength. Other than the 4 OGs, only Kenjaku, Uraume and MAYBE Yarozu, Kashimo would qualify. Defeating or hanging with a special grade is not enough to qualify. In terms of output you must single handedly be able to compete with the military force of an average sized nation. And in terms of potential, your cursed technique has to be theoretically infinite in some aspect; Infinite Curses, Infinite Techniques, Infinite Mass, Infinite Defenses/Stamina etc.
Idk why everyone forgets this and throws that term around💀 Maki and Hakari are not special grade despite being the heavy hitters because they cannot rival a whole nation
@@delta2370 It's kinda implied by the special grades we got. Yuta, Gojo and Geto didn't even have a domain back then, but were special grades because of their techniques and potential.
The only thing he's lacking tbh is a domain defense and a domain expansion. He is already a tank, he got tankier since he acquired RCT, he has blood manipulation which has its negative effects negated by RCT, his soul punches damage the soul directly and disrupts CE control. He lacks a domain and domain defenses.
He’s arguably able to fuck up any of the non-yuta/gojo/sukuna special grades. Hakari gets slaughtered, Kenny gets obliterated due to raw damage/speed gaps, Yuki gets weaved and outclassed
@@memeinatorun-official144yall wanna scale jjk like it's dbz so bad😂 jjk doesn't scale linearly, character match-ups are very much a thing. Yuji, arguably, gets clapped by Jogo.
Just finished the video and there is actually a very simple explanation. Special Grade is a grade that has a defining trait along with nearly all other traits being high. The guy with boundless energy means the special trait is boundless energy. The guy that has jackpot means that the way he uses it makes it special in comparison to most others. In Yuji case, The special trait would be extreme learning. Compared to how long others took to get where they are at where as I think it hasn't even been a year. The longer Yuji trains and adapts the faster he catches up and surpasses. If anything I think that is what Sukuna wants which is to go all out at the maximum possible. It just happens to go with revenge as well. Can be seen as early as the First special-grade mission.
Since the recent reveal / revelation aim I moron or idiotic fool think if Yuji has or awakens domain it be a inverse opposite of Sukana Belevolent Shrine 🤔 . Love your comment though.
One big thing I see is the "potential" debate between Megumi and Yuji, Gojo saying Megumi had more potential than Yuji at the beginning of the series has been a key point in this debate. However, I believe with Yuji gaining blood manipulation as well as shrine hes surpassed the potential Megumi had. The big thing holding him back still is a DE, if he got his own DE he would easily be up there with Special Grades without debate. He now has RCT, Shrine, and Blood Manipulation (not including how he basically fucks on everyone black flash wise, having the same amount of total black flashes as Gojo and tying Nanamis record of consecutive black flashes againt Hanami)
from what I konw Kenjacku said that in his times Sepecial grade was comparable to a person that can take on a nation. Howerwer in his times that ment no tanks no altyrery only huge amount of people. But it was never said that is a creteria. from the begining we where saide that 1 grade is a cursed spirit that you wuyld a power comparable to thank to defet (probably) and the special grade you would need crast bomb to (maby kill it) defeted unles its on even highier level. from what I know Kenjaku said that in his times Special grade was comparable to a person that can take on a nation. Howerwer in his times that means no tanks no altyrery only huge amount of people. But it was never said that is a creteria. from the beginning we were said that 1 grade is a cursed spirit that you would need a power comparable to tank to defeat (probably) and the special grade you would need crast bomb to (maybe kill it) defeated unless it's on even higher level. howewer what if some special grades power is for example transformation that can last 5 minutes and can use it once a day. His still grade special but could not defeat a nation in that time. I think to be special grade you simply need to be holding power at special level, no complications. No need to poses a certain type tecnick. Finger bearer didn't even had domain expansion but whas counted as grade special heck he didn't had inner tecnick.
Yeah, because Sukuna has bigger problems to deal with (like Maki, Yuta, Gojo, Higuruma, etc...) so he ignored Yuji for 90% of the current gauntlet showdown lmao Also, special grade also needs to be able to singlehandedly conquer a country, and boy, Yuji CANNOT do that
I think yujis new hands come from sukuna having been in his body and that he is still slowly gaining sukunas techniques even though sukunas in megumis body
Was he not alr special grade level when he was stated that jogo would’ve died if he took the consecutive black flashes that hanami took in the good will arc, which he was was much much weaker then he is now, boxed with hanami in the same arc and damaged him, literally had mahito running for his life to only get saved by kenjaku? Yeah he definitely isnt able to solo a country until he gets something like a domain but still he is definitely on the combat ability of a special grade, being chosen by the sparks of black is def one of the strongest buffs you can get in the verse
@@hungrynibba4152 he's just doing his job(*gojo agenda) by saying hakari said that they both shouldn't interfere until gojo is weaker than both of them combined but hakari never said that. His video take : one armed gojo > yuta + hakari in a 2v1 Hakari : one armed gojo > yuta/hakari in a 1v1
@@Czurcodm hakari is a non-issue because even with just his legs Gojo would beat him. Theres just too much of a power difference. Yuta would be carrying the 2v1, and even then it’s perfectly reasonable to assume he’d (Gojo) win that.
Just like how Gojo coming into the world created an increase in high level cursed spirits, Sukuna coming into the world will over time create stronger, and overall more, Jujutsu sorcerers. Gojo won't return in a physical manifestation unless it is outside of his original vessel. His body & soul are gone, but his teachings and feelings he inspired in others is the only thing allowing the balance of power between sorcerers and curses to not tilt too far in favor of the curses. Otherwise there would be no way someone as new to Jujutsu sorcery like Itadori and Okotsu to progress so quickly. We've seen a new era of sorcerers pop up out of nowhere, and at such young ages. Nature balances over time, humans can change things through will power and Gojo understood this, choosing to be the martyr which ignited the flame inside his students. He was fully aware he couldn't beat Sukuna and save megumi, so why'd he fight? Because sukuna killing Gojo is the only thing that keeps the Jujutsu world united and continuing to grow.
5:05 I don't think that is super nova. first off super nova works by creating spheres of compressed blood then exploding it however yuji's explosion was splattered blood on sukuna's face. It also "errupted" instead of exploding which has a different meaning.
I thought about this but too. Overall though It's pretty unlikely that Yuta was picked as Special-Grade for anything else than what the fanbook mentions. Even if Rika is an extension technique, the higherups shouldn't have any idea, they barley knew anything about what Rika even was. Not even Gojo really understood what Rika was, with the Six-Eyes he should've been able to see through Rika if she was a technique. Plus there's usually a primary technique as the basis for the extension (ratio and collapse etc), It's possible that there's a much bigger technique at play but there's just nothing to make that likely. Who knows overall though, I wouldn't be surprised.
likely an oversight by gege i dont think gege is a foreshadowing wiz @JadedSatoru he didnt really have everything thought out in volume 0 kenjaku only gives the criteria for special grade around chapter 200 so thats like a 5 year difference irl.
@@JadedSatoru the original rika is most definitely not an extension technique but I think it's highly likely that the rika he made after the events of jjk 0 is viewed as an extension technique
@@Nathan24634RIKA (the official name of the post 0 incarnation) is just a shikigami using the body of former Vengeful Spirit "Orimoto Rika". She also has remnants of Orimoto Rika, but RIKA herself is likely just a shikigami (even Uro/Ryu theorizes RIKA to be one, though they express doubt so take it with a grain of salt).
so geto has his uzumaki right? and yuta has his love-beam with rika with the output of granite blast, a special-grade technique. additionally sukuna has fuga and the world-cutting-slash.
I'm pretty sure there's somewhere stated that to be a special grade, they have to have something that will impact the JJK world as a whole and all the special grades kinda fit that, Gojo for his limitless and Infinity, Geto for his cursed spirit manipulation, Yuki, she was a star plasma vessel who ditched her duties to merge with Tengen and her cursed technique, Yuta for his possession of Rika and his copy curse technique. While Yuji kinda fits this spectrum due to the fact that he had consumed the other cursed wombs to gain blood manipulation, his soul swap technique, being blessed by the sparks of black, and his soul targeted attacks, if Yuji were to be consdered a special grade, he would fall more towards the low end due to the lack of exprience and power.
Imma say this now, yuji is so absolutely tanky he could literally fight the usa, bro is definately a special grade, and also, the way yuji uses dismantle / cleave is a very different way and might as well be an extention, because you use it in an entirely different way and the effect and usability is much different
@@Nathan24634 Yuji's ability attacks the soul. Yes it affects sorcerers that are incarnated different, by reducing their hold on the soul and CE reduction. But that doesn't change the fact that Yuji damages your soul, and as soul and body are the same, but the soul being something more, it stands to reason that that's a busted ass ability to have in jjk.
@@THE_MILLENNIAL_AFRICAN yeah but he just isn't maxed out enough and I think Yuki just has more win cons and Yuta can use his domain and can arguably see the soul and therefore heal it
@@Nathan24634 Yuta seeing the soul? You just pulling things out your ass. Yuki wins by dieing, that's not a win. The fan base is really sleeping on Yuji. I'm telling you now, when he starts cooking, you'll shouldn't come out with "asspull" comments. Cause it's blatantly clear to me how broken Yuji is, expecially since he got RCT.
Loved the video 🔥 Jaded, I wanted to hear your thoughts on something else Itadori Yuji could have in his arsenal. Yuji seems to be able to tank Sukuna's cursed technique over and over again within the latest chapters, we can look at when Yuji was being showered by the onslaught that is Sukuna's cursed technique he didn't die.( albeit Megumi was suppressing Sukuna's cursed energy output) but what if it's because he's been drenched in Sukuna's cursed energy for so long that he has a higher tolerance to Sukuna's cursed technique. Satoru Gojo tanked his own attack but wasn't as damaged as Sukuna was due to it being his own cursed energy. What if that's the reason Itadori is so tolerant to Sukuna's slashes because he is drenched in Sukuna's cursed energy. Itadori has been compared to a cursed tool and Satoru Gojo made a comment early on in the series about Yuji possibly gaining Sukuna's cursed technique due to him being a host. What if Itadori has Sukuna's cursed technique? He has already inherited blood manipulation from being Kenjaku's kin and now possibly having cleave and dismantle from the king of curses, from a writing point of view kinda interesting don't you think? Inheriting cursed techniques from the thing he hated the most: "curses".
Yuji being cloaked in Sukuna's Cursed-Energy giving him a bit better defense against Sukuna's Cursed-Energy is possible, I really like the idea. As for Yuji inheriting Sukuna's Cursed-Technique, It's up to Gege at this point imo. Gojo doesn't just imply it's possible but that It will happen inevitably. Of course he didn't know there'd be a point where Yuji's not a Vessel anymore and stuff, so It's up to the author. I think there's enough plausible reasoning for Gege to pick one way or the other without it being an a**-pull. Also, we don't know how Yuji's managed to get his hands on blood manipulation. Maybe it's a hereditary like you mentioned or It's a side effect of him consuming the rest of the Curse-Wombs, who knows. When it comes to Yuji using Sukuna's Cursed-Technique, part of me feels like he would have done it already. Cursed-Techniques aren't something you awaken in battle, never been portrayed that way. Even Yuta's out here using Cleave, It's just silly to hold back something like that if Yuji's keeping it in store. But if Yuji doesn't have the technique at all, I highly doubt It's gonna engrave itself on him now even with his Cursed-Energy. But again, up to Gege Akutami on this one. Hundred uploaded a good video on Yuji on something today, go watch!
@@JadedSatoruthank you for the feedback I didn't see hundred posted today damn 😭💔 Wow we damn near saying the same thing😂 It must be the Hundred effect I guess 😅
@@JadedSatoru I read somewhere that Yuji might not use cleave nor dismantle because of Megumi. I think it makes sense. Yuta did use cleave, but I suppose that this attack from Yuta would be much weaker than a cleave lunched by Sukuna or someone who's been soaked in Sukuna's Cursed energy for 3 months like... Yuji. Plus Yuta did use cleave but not dismantle. However he was able to learn it (Rika eating the last finger or Yuji eating it and then body sapping with Yuta), it would seem odd for Yuta to be able to copy cleave and not dismantle. While in his domain, we saw that Yuta was hoping to find the cleave sword, as he said something like "finally" when He grabbed it. But why not look for the dismantle sword if they wanted to kill Sukuna on the fly ? Well we know that the plan of the sorcerers is to rescue Megumi before killing Sukuna, and using dismantle on him might have killed both of them. In the same spirit, if Yuji's cleave and dismantle are way stonger than yuta's, due to his time as a vessel of Sukuna, it would make sense for him not to use either of them before Megumi is safe. Right now, Yuji needs to keep punching Sukuna to keep on lowering his CE output and his control on Megumi's body. Maybe Yuji only can use his soul splitting powers via direct contact with the target. Hence he's focussing on that right now, saving cleaves and dismantles for after Megumi is saved.
The requirement for reaching special grade is simply being able to take down a nation single-handedly. Gojo and Sukuna definitely fill that requirement, so does Geto and Kenjaku with their Curse Spirit Manipulation (basically an invisible army of supersoldiers), Yuta and Yuki are really the only two you can argue against for being special grade. We don't know if this ranking system applies to Cursed Spirits as well but assuming it does, Jogo fits into this ranking perfectly, in fact I might call him the gold standard for it due to his pure destructive power alone. Mahito when he unlocked his Maximum Technique definitely could as well, he can just transfigure humans over and over so that they fight for him too. Hanami you could argue against though purely because we just haven't seen much of their destructive power. They died too fast in Shibuya to really do much and against Yuji and Todo I think they uprooted a few buildings at most. Choso definitely doesn't fit the special grade requirement considering he can be seen by humans, already losing the advantage Cursed Spirits have, and that Blood Manipulation isn't actually that destructive of a technique. Blood Manipulation seems to be very precise in its execution, meaning it aims to strike hard and fast, whittling down stronger opponents slowly but decimating weaker opponents. I would call Blood Manipulation a grade 1 technique to be honest though it is very useful in fights because it is perhaps the most versatile technique in JJK. Personally though, I would call Yuji at this point a special grade 1, meaning he is one step away from reaching special grade (grade 1 -> special grade 1 -> special grade). To note Yuji's abilities and techniques, he has Divergent Fist which make his blows even stronger against opponents weaker than special grade, an affinity for Black Flash which allows him to use it more often than most and makes his blows MUCH stronger even against stronger opponents and gives him a buff, if you will, for the next few minutes. He has inhuman endurance, meaning he can last much longer in fights than anyone else and RCT even if he does get hit particularly hard. He can use Simple Domain now which protects him from domain expansions and, if expanded, can make his movements faster and practically automatic, making them hard to predict and defend against. Finally onto his actual Cursed Techniques, he has Blood Manipulation which is a huge buff to his already large arsenal as well as the recently added Sukuna's Shrine technique (Cleave and Dismantle respectively). While his skill with both of these techniques is average for BM and quite low for Shrine, if he is given the time to hone both of them, he is definitely a special grade, he realistically reached that potential when he acquired Shrine, a special-grade technique and the more Black Flashes he lands against Sukuna, the better he'll be able to understand it.
I feel the "take down a nation" thing is the most important aspect of determining a special grade. If you look at Gojo or Yuki or Sukuna you can see that undenyably they have overwhelming destructive compacity to just flat wipe all life in an area. It may take time to wipe an entire country depending on size, but they can. No amount of force or push back can stop them short of another sorcerer or socerers on or near that level. HOWEVER!! Strength alone does not a special grade make. If you look at someone like Maki you can see that with her speed, strength, and endurance not even a clan of Grade 1 sorcerers are enough to stop her, given the proper cursed tools. I'm not sure if I'd consider her in the Special Grade tier, especially since she's not a sorcerer, but she's firmly over Grade 1. Geto may not be able to take on Toji/Maki in a 1v1; and Principal Yaga definitely couldn't. With that in mind Yaga still could meet the requirements to be Special Grade because his ability to make an army. Yaga isn't a power house in terms of destructive capacity; but he would be able to potential defeat Japan's armed forces with his cursed technique (excluding any sorcerers). To that point Geto could easily overwhelm a nations armed forces with his stored curses. Yuta has the endurance, versatility, and strength to also overwhelm. Though he's not quiet got the destructive capacity of Gojo (or even Yuki) nor the sheer numbers of Geto (or Yaga) he's still a major threat with emense potential. I think Yuta is probably on the lower end of the Special Grade scale if we're judging by ability to fight a national army and win. He can likely tank their heavest artillery and destroy key locations, but not just walk in a destroy indiscriminately to level of Yuki, Gojo, or Sukuna. I don't believe the same can be said about Yuji or even Hakari. They may be able to sustain a lot of damage, and do well in a fight, but can they wipe a city block in one move? Could they be vastly outnumber and take out wave after wave of troups while being constantly bombarded by a barrage of bullets, missile, etc.? Yuji probably exists in the space above Grade 1 but below Special Grade alongside Maki and Toji, but I don't think he has the showings to be placed in the same tier as Gojo or Sukuna.
Good points, but Hakari could definitely take a country through just sheer endurance; no non-sorcerer is killing the guy that literally can’t die(If I’m understanding his domain right). As for Yuji, I don’t know about city blocks, but he could definitely make a building collapse if he punched it really hard(Which is funny to think about). If we’re talking feats of strength, he should at the very least be able to make a crater like Mahito in his true form did against him(Considering that he basically killed Mahito). I think he could at the very least do significant damage to a small army though. RCT should let him tank enough fatal hits to not stay down while his strength and endurance would be enough to tear tanks to shreds - let alone grown men. Maybe not out in the open, but if he’s in like an area with a lot of cover then yeah, I can see him winning.
the border between grade 1 and special grade is fuzzy like choso is a special grade curse and i know that sorcerer grades are stronger but between choso and the weakest special grade sorcerer. the power gap is miles. so what is the weakest a sorcerer can be to be special grade?
In my mind Yuji is definitely special grade level. With how many upgrades he’s got, like better reinforcement, learning RCT, gaining blood manipulation and being precise enough to target the barrier between souls, there’s literally no one under special grade level that could come close to beating him. Like this man can strike your soul directly and precisely. We also saw some soul swap shit he’s doing, so it’s pretty clear Yujis soul abilities aren’t gonna be limited to just punching at them. As for the argument Yuji couldn’t take over a country, yes he absolutely could. Put Yuji vs the French, British, German, Mexican, Canadian, military and he’d bulldoze any soldiers sent his way. We already saw soldiers were fodder back in the culling games, and it’s said carpet bomb levels of power are needed to hurt special grade curses. Yujis Durability and AP are already higher than that. Only thing stopping him from a modern military is a nuke but unless you have hax that’s stopping basically anyone. Edit: I’m not entirely sure but isn’t Supernova an extension technique of Blood manipulation Choso created? Yuji was seen using that so if that’s an extension technique Yuji has one
This. Yuji got punched through a massive building by Sukuna, walked it off, then proceeded to jump across buildings to throw hands with him. You realistically would need carpet bombing to take out someone like that. Not saying he could take out the United States, but it’s not like he’s losing to Costa Rica. Especially with RCT now.
Yeah exactly and there was someone I was debating with who said yuji couldn't beat any special grade curse and stuff like that and somehow couldn't except that he physically scales to maki and Yuta despite copies amounts of evidence

I think trying to work out the exact, in universe, criteria for special grade that the school uses (esp when it's a 10 min sidetrack in the video lol) is kind of pointless. The characters themselves have, in canon, talked about how corrupt, outdated, and frankly trash the ranking system is multiple times. It doesn't really matter what the exact criteria is, it's just a plot device to help the viewer scale power roughly. Yuji is obviously in that power tier now. But then, I would also say characters like Uro and Ishigori were too by modern time standards. "Special" to me implies they're different than your average grade 1 in a way that elevates them to that next level, usually by having a unique CT or traits that makes them a serious threat, a strength beyond the norm amongst the sorcerers of the time. Yuji definitely is that with his RCT and soul abilities now, plus having a very good, legendary CT on top of that.
I'd say that the special grade is given to thouse who have undeniable power at all times and high amounts of curse energy at all times. Maki isn't special grade because she lacks the curse energy part. Hakari isn't special grade because he lacks power at all times, he can go agains a special grade and win but only if he is on a role otherwise he is a very high grade 1 maybe even special grade 1 (the same rank as Naobito) but not special grade. So right now Yuji might be lacking in the curse energy part, we don't know if he has enough curse energy to be compared to any special grade but in power he has more than enough.
yuji is special 1st grade at best even jogo would beat yuji. he doesn’t have good feats for example him tanking sukunas dismantle was when megumi was holding sukuna back making him a lot weaker like and when he went toe to toe with sukuna with higuruma and yuta sukuna was literally stated to be holding back he doesn’t really even beat mahito since todo was there messing mahito up and disorienting him with boogie woogie in a 1v1 i guarentee yuji will loose. his blood manipulation hasn’t even been shown to be anywhere near a special grade level Ct
I hate the discussion about real life military technology and jjk powerscaling, realistically most of the cast die to any high caliber weaponry and most special grades (and potential SGs) would die to ONE missile strike.
"Special Grade 1 is a rank that refers to sorcerers outside of the technical school system (ungraded active sorcerers) whose power is considered to be on the level of a Grade 1 sorcerer." So, yeah, Yuji is just high grade 1. Or actually, he might qualify for special grade 1 since he's not a part of Jujutsu Tech anymore.
I think the way they cheated was Good hitting them with his domain for a short amount of time. I dont know if this is true but didn't Gojo help Mahito understand how ti do his domain in a short amount of time. P.s. I also think if anybody comes back its goinf to be Shokos domain which I think is possibly necromancy or something like that. I don't do theory's but I've always thought this
Okay I get yuji may not meat kenjacku( which he isn’t even a higher up so take it with a grain of salt) but like when u say special grade people mean that level of strength not the country thing and by that definition he is cause of his feats
No, he's not the description to be a special grade is to overthrow a damn county. Objectively yuji with bunch of soul punches and blood manipulation that's even inferior than that the level of choso can't do it.
I'd disagree since the zenin clan was fully of special grade ones and an only tier one awakened maki slaughtered them and current yuji having multiple arguments for being stronger than a tier 2 awakened maki
@@n3rdyboi616 I agree and see where you’re coming from but I feel like Yugi is in his own category bellow Special Grade but can still keep up with them. Also I don’t think Yugi has the power to take on a country on his own
About your travel speed statement based on yuji and yuta let’s not also forget domain expansions provide stat boosts it’s not exactly specified what stats are boosted but let’s just agree that travel speed is boosted for yuta then yuji when it comes to travel speed is above yuta with domain plus travel speed
Yuji has cleave and dismantle, blood manipulation, rct, simple domain, soul based attacks, and pulls off black flashes all the time, if hes not a special grade then idk who is lol
Yujis name is about kindess taking away pain and love thought hed become semi angleic but he has cursed arms but i guess thats gojos job so yuji is kind of a nephliam
From what the manga tries to portray, Yuji & a few other characters has Special Grade level destruction/fight capabilities but can't be classified as such due to their inability to wrestle a country alone!!!

Hes not special grade , 😔
@@pbsuitehe is
Bro u ever where hating on yuji
I agree that we haven't seen a domain counter from him yet I think it's more likely than not seeing as he was asking about it with gojo and then trained with kusukabe and the fact he learned a much more difficult ability in rct I think it's highly likely that he has a simple domain along with his rct and blood manipulation any character on a similar level as him he should be able to competently fight within their domain

Honestly giving someone like Yuji RCT was the biggest buff you could give him. Yuji could already fight through more pain then damn near any other character in the series now that he can heal himself bro is actually a tank.
This combined with the fact that every punch he lands drops your curse energy means that in a battle of attrition unless you have Sukuna levels of curse energy you're probably gonna gas out before he does and god forbid one of those is a black flash.
Overall I'd say Yuji does now qualify for the special grade tier with what we've seen him show so far.
Misconception - Only shaman that parasite bodies will see their CE drops as Yuji hammers the barrier between their soul & their vessels souls.
To others, Yujis punches are just punches

Honestly the hype yuji is given from the edit of skyfall against mahito aswell as his jusy vibe of not needing absolutely flaunting and important power like gojo. But i didnt watch the video yet and ive only read a tiny bit of the manga so i may be wrong about yuji not having a CT, although hints to something like soul manipulatoon.
Anyways this sorta just gives hype with the phrase repeating "left right goodnight vibes"@@pbsuite
Booooo
I feel like the problem that Special grade is too broad to be used to accurately describe a sorcerers power. Yuji IS a special grade, but he's nowhere close to the other special grades, and that is what causes disagreements. The special grade tier is simply too broad.
Yuta's ability to copy any technique is absolutely absurd. Yuki makes black holes. Geto had like 6000 curses in his control. And then Gojo shoots lasers, can't be touched and has nearly unlimited energy. How can a fist fighter, even if they are becoming indestructible, compare to them?
The gap in skill between grade 4-3-2-1 sorcerers seems pretty linear, but then all the special grades we see are like 10 grades beyond grade 1. Like seriously think about how there's just SO much room between someone like Grade 1 Nanami or Naobito to Special Grade Geto and Yuta. There's this giant gap between the two, and I think this makes people forget that to be special grade, you don't need to be Yuki, Geto, Yuta or Gojo strong.
In the early chapters, we see that generally, a sorcerers grade means they win against a curse of the same level. So a grade 1 sorcerer is stronger than a grade 1 curse, who is stronger than a grade 2 sorcerer and so on. It doesn't seem unreasonable to assume that Special grade sorcerers are stronger than special grade curses. And given that current Yuji has the potential to beat pretty much every disaster curse, I think that alone means it's fair to give him title of Special Grade. We still need to see a domain answer, but right now he's not just beating finger special grades. He has the potential of beating the heavy hitters of the specials, and that does it for me. With RCT, he can even probably overthrow some small nations, so I don't think it's a crazy title to give him at all.
Again though, the problem is that while special grade might start at, let's say, Grade -1, it doesn't have a ceiling. Nanami is grade 1 because he is a top tier fighter. Comparatively Yuji is now a BETTER fighter PLUS has healing PLUS blood hardening PLUS blood projectile PLUS blood explosions PLUS soul shenanigans. I'd say that together makes Yuji like a grade -5. In comparison though, Yuta is probably like a grade -10 with Rika, better RCT, Domain and technique copy. Meanwhile Gojo is Grade -100 and idk, is Sukuna like Grade -200? Getting into DBZ style power scaling, but you should see the problem here: hey're all in the same category, but not close in ability.
Special grade just needs more designations, and this could be avoided. There should be a 'supreme special grade' for the god level powers of Gojo and Sukuna exclusively. Regular special grade title could then go to the ones with wildly crazy techniques like Yuta, Yuki and Geto. The likes of Yuji, Hakari, Choso, (and in terms of power, Maki and Toji) should then have a different title like Semi Special Grade. These are top tier, nearly indestructable fighters, but are at the end of the day, all just still technically fighters. They're great at fighting sorcerers, but there's just no way someone throwing fists should be in the same tier as someone making black holes. The 'semi' special grades just lack the cataclysmic oof of our classified Special Grades.
Regardless, given the current grading system, Yuji, is deserving of Special Grade. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
tl;dr Special grade tier is an extremely wide umbrella term. Yuji is a special grade, he's just not as strong as the other special grades.
You cooked with this analysis of yours. I like it.
oh damn I did not expect you being in one of a JJK videos
tpg tahc 😊
Bruh, Teen Geto was treated as a Special Grade Sorcerer and he literally got low diffed by Toji who didn't even need to resort to ANY Assassin tricks and strategies and just straight up fought him 1v1 head to head, and Current Yuji definitely at least is capable of keeping in pace and tank attacks against someone at Toji level, especially Current Yuji that has RCT, Soul Manipulation and Blood Manipulation.
Yuji definitely is at least Special Grade Sorcerer at least equal to Teen Geto, above even due to his insane RCT mastery Geto NEVER HAD.
Reminder that Current Maki, who is currently treated as Toji of this generation, is regarded by Gojo and Kenjaku as the Big 3 hitters with Hakari and FUCKING YUTA, and there's no way someone like Gojo and Kenjaku would overrate someone like Maki to be around Yuta's level if she doesn't have the ability to back it up.
You being a JJK fan is amazing.
if all this didn’t make him a special grade then the domain expansion definitely did
Fr
Now that the fight is over, Yuji is easily a special grade. Even with his advantages against Sukuna with his soul attacks, if he wasn’t one of the strongest characters, he would not have survived and won even if with all the help he got.
5:02
Actually the piercing blood that hit sukuna was most likely from yuji not choso as the latter was currently a donut on the floor
I thought so too, but without confirmation I just ignored it. We don't know where Choso was or his current state whatsoever too, he's last seen on the ground and It's possible it's Yuji but I didn't feel comfortable saying it outright in a video

@@phillipsmith2201it heals everything. Blood, bone, and flesh.
If not sheer destructive ability (Gojo, Sukuna, Yuki) then unlimited potential for growth seems to be the mark for special grades.
Yuta and his copy ability, Geto and his ability to store unlimited curses, even Yaga and his ability to potentially stockpile an army of cursed puppets. Yuji and his ability to eat just about any cursed object to gain power from them would fit right in with the other special grade stockpile/growth types.
Now that is an actually interesting idea lol. Most people love dropping a bunch of headcannon, but this is actually one backed up
I didn’t and still can’t consider Yuji special grade yet, but if we weren’t following him and his growth and just saw him older or as a side character that was described to have eaten a bunch of cursed objects that can endlessly grow his power, that would be seen as a very special case
Nah, Kenjaku himself states that it's being able to overrun a country solo
While I don't disagree that Yuji might have unlimited potential or whatever. None of the other examples you used work since they're more hax-related than potential. Especially Yuta's.

10:29 red blue and purple arent extension techniques tho are they? blue is a lapse technique which is the base technique amplified to the max if im not mistaken (blue is an amplified version of the neutral limitless). Red is a reversal technique derived from blue. Purple i think is the only one that could be considered an extension technique but even then gojo specifically refers to it as "hollow technique"
Blue is an extension technique activated through lapse of normal limitless.
Red is just a reversal of Blue, so it's also an extension.
Purple is just merging both extensions, so it's also an extension. They just get special names because of rule of cool.

Yuji cursed technique : never give up
I mean , he already keeps up with all the other special grade and doing more than them + he was there from the start
But now there is no doubt yep
Im pretty sure he's also got infinite rct at least while he's biting himself and using Noratoshi's circulation technique, by continually eating sukuna's cursed energy infused into his body and using rct to make more blood.
So Yuji might've poisoned himself over eating and choso might be teaching him how to heal it.
You are my special grade
Special. Grade. Is. Not. Purely. About. Strength.
Other than the 4 OGs, only Kenjaku, Uraume and MAYBE Yarozu, Kashimo would qualify.
Defeating or hanging with a special grade is not enough to qualify. In terms of output you must single handedly be able to compete with the military force of an average sized nation. And in terms of potential, your cursed technique has to be theoretically infinite in some aspect; Infinite Curses, Infinite Techniques, Infinite Mass, Infinite Defenses/Stamina etc.

I’m not even going to lie, Yuji is still not hanging with any of the other special grades. He’s getting powerful but he isn’t there yet.
The only thing he's lacking tbh is a domain defense and a domain expansion. He is already a tank, he got tankier since he acquired RCT, he has blood manipulation which has its negative effects negated by RCT, his soul punches damage the soul directly and disrupts CE control. He lacks a domain and domain defenses.
He’s arguably able to fuck up any of the non-yuta/gojo/sukuna special grades. Hakari gets slaughtered, Kenny gets obliterated due to raw damage/speed gaps, Yuki gets weaved and outclassed

@@memeinatorun-official144yall wanna scale jjk like it's dbz so bad😂 jjk doesn't scale linearly, character match-ups are very much a thing. Yuji, arguably, gets clapped by Jogo.
Just finished the video and there is actually a very simple explanation.
Special Grade is a grade that has a defining trait along with nearly all other traits being high. The guy with boundless energy means the special trait is boundless energy. The guy that has jackpot means that the way he uses it makes it special in comparison to most others.
In Yuji case, The special trait would be extreme learning. Compared to how long others took to get where they are at where as I think it hasn't even been a year. The longer Yuji trains and adapts the faster he catches up and surpasses. If anything I think that is what Sukuna wants which is to go all out at the maximum possible. It just happens to go with revenge as well. Can be seen as early as the First special-grade mission.
Well now we know, he is special grade for sure
Yuji's domain expansion is going to BREAK records
Since the recent reveal / revelation aim I moron or idiotic fool think if Yuji has or awakens domain it be a inverse opposite of Sukana Belevolent Shrine 🤔 . Love your comment though.
I mean I'm pretth sure it DID offscreen Sukuna
One big thing I see is the "potential" debate between Megumi and Yuji, Gojo saying Megumi had more potential than Yuji at the beginning of the series has been a key point in this debate. However, I believe with Yuji gaining blood manipulation as well as shrine hes surpassed the potential Megumi had. The big thing holding him back still is a DE, if he got his own DE he would easily be up there with Special Grades without debate. He now has RCT, Shrine, and Blood Manipulation (not including how he basically fucks on everyone black flash wise, having the same amount of total black flashes as Gojo and tying Nanamis record of consecutive black flashes againt Hanami)
Well no it’s not even a debate 🤷🏽♂️😂. He has cleave & dismantle so he could literally chop up city blocks in seconds.

Just like how Gojo coming into the world created an increase in high level cursed spirits, Sukuna coming into the world will over time create stronger, and overall more, Jujutsu sorcerers. Gojo won't return in a physical manifestation unless it is outside of his original vessel. His body & soul are gone, but his teachings and feelings he inspired in others is the only thing allowing the balance of power between sorcerers and curses to not tilt too far in favor of the curses. Otherwise there would be no way someone as new to Jujutsu sorcery like Itadori and Okotsu to progress so quickly. We've seen a new era of sorcerers pop up out of nowhere, and at such young ages. Nature balances over time, humans can change things through will power and Gojo understood this, choosing to be the martyr which ignited the flame inside his students. He was fully aware he couldn't beat Sukuna and save megumi, so why'd he fight? Because sukuna killing Gojo is the only thing that keeps the Jujutsu world united and continuing to grow.
Plot twist: he's been soul swapping with everybody in the battlefield and swapping when somebody gets killed
So Yuji has been responsible for more deaths LOL, failure of an MC.
11:51 couldn’t his claws be an extension of the black flash like they increase it power or smth
I think fire arrow could be a extension technique since some people think it’s not just slashes but cooking food
5:05 I don't think that is super nova.
first off super nova works by creating spheres of compressed blood then exploding it however yuji's explosion was splattered blood on sukuna's face. It also "errupted" instead of exploding which has a different meaning.
I think yuji bout to show his domain, Blood Shrine
What if rika is yutas extension technique since his main technique is curse copy.
I thought about this but too. Overall though It's pretty unlikely that Yuta was picked as Special-Grade for anything else than what the fanbook mentions. Even if Rika is an extension technique, the higherups shouldn't have any idea, they barley knew anything about what Rika even was. Not even Gojo really understood what Rika was, with the Six-Eyes he should've been able to see through Rika if she was a technique. Plus there's usually a primary technique as the basis for the extension (ratio and collapse etc), It's possible that there's a much bigger technique at play but there's just nothing to make that likely. Who knows overall though, I wouldn't be surprised.

I'm pretty sure there's somewhere stated that to be a special grade, they have to have something that will impact the JJK world as a whole and all the special grades kinda fit that, Gojo for his limitless and Infinity, Geto for his cursed spirit manipulation, Yuki, she was a star plasma vessel who ditched her duties to merge with Tengen and her cursed technique, Yuta for his possession of Rika and his copy curse technique. While Yuji kinda fits this spectrum due to the fact that he had consumed the other cursed wombs to gain blood manipulation, his soul swap technique, being blessed by the sparks of black, and his soul targeted attacks, if Yuji were to be consdered a special grade, he would fall more towards the low end due to the lack of exprience and power.
Imma say this now, yuji is so absolutely tanky he could literally fight the usa, bro is definately a special grade, and also, the way yuji uses dismantle / cleave is a very different way and might as well be an extention, because you use it in an entirely different way and the effect and usability is much different

Jaded, I wanted to hear your thoughts on something else Itadori Yuji could have in his arsenal. Yuji seems to be able to tank Sukuna's cursed technique over and over again within the latest chapters, we can look at when Yuji was being showered by the onslaught that is Sukuna's cursed technique he didn't die.( albeit Megumi was suppressing Sukuna's cursed energy output) but what if it's because he's been drenched in Sukuna's cursed energy for so long that he has a higher tolerance to Sukuna's cursed technique. Satoru Gojo tanked his own attack but wasn't as damaged as Sukuna was due to it being his own cursed energy. What if that's the reason Itadori is so tolerant to Sukuna's slashes because he is drenched in Sukuna's cursed energy. Itadori has been compared to a cursed tool and Satoru Gojo made a comment early on in the series about Yuji possibly gaining Sukuna's cursed technique due to him being a host. What if Itadori has Sukuna's cursed technique? He has already inherited blood manipulation from being Kenjaku's kin and now possibly having cleave and dismantle from the king of curses, from a writing point of view kinda interesting don't you think? Inheriting cursed techniques from the thing he hated the most: "curses".
Yuji being cloaked in Sukuna's Cursed-Energy giving him a bit better defense against Sukuna's Cursed-Energy is possible, I really like the idea. As for Yuji inheriting Sukuna's Cursed-Technique, It's up to Gege at this point imo. Gojo doesn't just imply it's possible but that It will happen inevitably. Of course he didn't know there'd be a point where Yuji's not a Vessel anymore and stuff, so It's up to the author. I think there's enough plausible reasoning for Gege to pick one way or the other without it being an a**-pull. Also, we don't know how Yuji's managed to get his hands on blood manipulation. Maybe it's a hereditary like you mentioned or It's a side effect of him consuming the rest of the Curse-Wombs, who knows. When it comes to Yuji using Sukuna's Cursed-Technique, part of me feels like he would have done it already. Cursed-Techniques aren't something you awaken in battle, never been portrayed that way. Even Yuta's out here using Cleave, It's just silly to hold back something like that if Yuji's keeping it in store. But if Yuji doesn't have the technique at all, I highly doubt It's gonna engrave itself on him now even with his Cursed-Energy. But again, up to Gege Akutami on this one.
Hundred uploaded a good video on Yuji on something today, go watch!
@@JadedSatoruthank you for the feedback
I didn't see hundred posted today damn 😭💔
Wow we damn near saying the same thing😂
It must be the Hundred effect I guess 😅
@@JadedSatoru I read somewhere that Yuji might not use cleave nor dismantle because of Megumi. I think it makes sense. Yuta did use cleave, but I suppose that this attack from Yuta would be much weaker than a cleave lunched by Sukuna or someone who's been soaked in Sukuna's Cursed energy for 3 months like... Yuji. Plus Yuta did use cleave but not dismantle. However he was able to learn it (Rika eating the last finger or Yuji eating it and then body sapping with Yuta), it would seem odd for Yuta to be able to copy cleave and not dismantle.
While in his domain, we saw that Yuta was hoping to find the cleave sword, as he said something like "finally" when He grabbed it. But why not look for the dismantle sword if they wanted to kill Sukuna on the fly ? Well we know that the plan of the sorcerers is to rescue Megumi before killing Sukuna, and using dismantle on him might have killed both of them.
In the same spirit, if Yuji's cleave and dismantle are way stonger than yuta's, due to his time as a vessel of Sukuna, it would make sense for him not to use either of them before Megumi is safe. Right now, Yuji needs to keep punching Sukuna to keep on lowering his CE output and his control on Megumi's body. Maybe Yuji only can use his soul splitting powers via direct contact with the target. Hence he's focussing on that right now, saving cleaves and dismantles for after Megumi is saved.
@@JadedSatoru I love your channels and content even if it's just a review or random topic.
i think its pretty set in stone Yuji's surpassing Special grade by now after hitting 8 back to back black flashes
the editing of this video is elite! Make more vids like these!!!
Geto I think used the uhhh, Maelstorm? Isn't that considered a extension technique?
There are no chapters or timestamps for the video.
TH-cam auto generates them, It takes a bit I guess 😳
@@JadedSatoru Ah. Understood. Thought you might've forgotten to put them in. Thank you for explaining that.
I left them in the description just now, I'll fix it for next time
he locked in
The requirement for reaching special grade is simply being able to take down a nation single-handedly.
Gojo and Sukuna definitely fill that requirement, so does Geto and Kenjaku with their Curse Spirit Manipulation (basically an invisible army of supersoldiers), Yuta and Yuki are really the only two you can argue against for being special grade.
We don't know if this ranking system applies to Cursed Spirits as well but assuming it does, Jogo fits into this ranking perfectly, in fact I might call him the gold standard for it due to his pure destructive power alone. Mahito when he unlocked his Maximum Technique definitely could as well, he can just transfigure humans over and over so that they fight for him too. Hanami you could argue against though purely because we just haven't seen much of their destructive power. They died too fast in Shibuya to really do much and against Yuji and Todo I think they uprooted a few buildings at most.
Choso definitely doesn't fit the special grade requirement considering he can be seen by humans, already losing the advantage Cursed Spirits have, and that Blood Manipulation isn't actually that destructive of a technique. Blood Manipulation seems to be very precise in its execution, meaning it aims to strike hard and fast, whittling down stronger opponents slowly but decimating weaker opponents. I would call Blood Manipulation a grade 1 technique to be honest though it is very useful in fights because it is perhaps the most versatile technique in JJK.
Personally though, I would call Yuji at this point a special grade 1, meaning he is one step away from reaching special grade (grade 1 -> special grade 1 -> special grade). To note Yuji's abilities and techniques, he has Divergent Fist which make his blows even stronger against opponents weaker than special grade, an affinity for Black Flash which allows him to use it more often than most and makes his blows MUCH stronger even against stronger opponents and gives him a buff, if you will, for the next few minutes. He has inhuman endurance, meaning he can last much longer in fights than anyone else and RCT even if he does get hit particularly hard. He can use Simple Domain now which protects him from domain expansions and, if expanded, can make his movements faster and practically automatic, making them hard to predict and defend against. Finally onto his actual Cursed Techniques, he has Blood Manipulation which is a huge buff to his already large arsenal as well as the recently added Sukuna's Shrine technique (Cleave and Dismantle respectively). While his skill with both of these techniques is average for BM and quite low for Shrine, if he is given the time to hone both of them, he is definitely a special grade, he realistically reached that potential when he acquired Shrine, a special-grade technique and the more Black Flashes he lands against Sukuna, the better he'll be able to understand it.
imagine if yuji pulls up a domain expansion till the the end
Im nit sure supernova qualify as an extension technique but whatever that was choso did at the end of kenjaku fight was definitely one of the
I feel the "take down a nation" thing is the most important aspect of determining a special grade. If you look at Gojo or Yuki or Sukuna you can see that undenyably they have overwhelming destructive compacity to just flat wipe all life in an area. It may take time to wipe an entire country depending on size, but they can. No amount of force or push back can stop them short of another sorcerer or socerers on or near that level.
HOWEVER!! Strength alone does not a special grade make. If you look at someone like Maki you can see that with her speed, strength, and endurance not even a clan of Grade 1 sorcerers are enough to stop her, given the proper cursed tools. I'm not sure if I'd consider her in the Special Grade tier, especially since she's not a sorcerer, but she's firmly over Grade 1. Geto may not be able to take on Toji/Maki in a 1v1; and Principal Yaga definitely couldn't. With that in mind Yaga still could meet the requirements to be Special Grade because his ability to make an army. Yaga isn't a power house in terms of destructive capacity; but he would be able to potential defeat Japan's armed forces with his cursed technique (excluding any sorcerers). To that point Geto could easily overwhelm a nations armed forces with his stored curses.
Yuta has the endurance, versatility, and strength to also overwhelm. Though he's not quiet got the destructive capacity of Gojo (or even Yuki) nor the sheer numbers of Geto (or Yaga) he's still a major threat with emense potential. I think Yuta is probably on the lower end of the Special Grade scale if we're judging by ability to fight a national army and win. He can likely tank their heavest artillery and destroy key locations, but not just walk in a destroy indiscriminately to level of Yuki, Gojo, or Sukuna.
I don't believe the same can be said about Yuji or even Hakari.
They may be able to sustain a lot of damage, and do well in a fight, but can they wipe a city block in one move? Could they be vastly outnumber and take out wave after wave of troups while being constantly bombarded by a barrage of bullets, missile, etc.? Yuji probably exists in the space above Grade 1 but below Special Grade alongside Maki and Toji, but I don't think he has the showings to be placed in the same tier as Gojo or Sukuna.
Good points, but Hakari could definitely take a country through just sheer endurance; no non-sorcerer is killing the guy that literally can’t die(If I’m understanding his domain right).
As for Yuji, I don’t know about city blocks, but he could definitely make a building collapse if he punched it really hard(Which is funny to think about). If we’re talking feats of strength, he should at the very least be able to make a crater like Mahito in his true form did against him(Considering that he basically killed Mahito).
I think he could at the very least do significant damage to a small army though. RCT should let him tank enough fatal hits to not stay down while his strength and endurance would be enough to tear tanks to shreds - let alone grown men. Maybe not out in the open, but if he’s in like an area with a lot of cover then yeah, I can see him winning.
Immense*
Really? Just take 2 seconds to Google the word instead of making yourself look like an ass
the border between grade 1 and special grade is fuzzy like choso is a special grade curse and i know that sorcerer grades are stronger but between choso and the weakest special grade sorcerer. the power gap is miles. so what is the weakest a sorcerer can be to be special grade?
Wasn’t yuta ranked special grade the day he joined, idk if he knew how to use his technique then
I thought Yuta's extension technique was the ability to turn humans into special grade curses
My theory is the yuji will be best of 2 worlds. He has broken heavenly restrictions and crazy cursed energy to put down sukana .
In my mind Yuji is definitely special grade level. With how many upgrades he’s got, like better reinforcement, learning RCT, gaining blood manipulation and being precise enough to target the barrier between souls, there’s literally no one under special grade level that could come close to beating him.
Like this man can strike your soul directly and precisely. We also saw some soul swap shit he’s doing, so it’s pretty clear Yujis soul abilities aren’t gonna be limited to just punching at them.
As for the argument Yuji couldn’t take over a country, yes he absolutely could. Put Yuji vs the French, British, German, Mexican, Canadian, military and he’d bulldoze any soldiers sent his way. We already saw soldiers were fodder back in the culling games, and it’s said carpet bomb levels of power are needed to hurt special grade curses. Yujis Durability and AP are already higher than that. Only thing stopping him from a modern military is a nuke but unless you have hax that’s stopping basically anyone.
Edit: I’m not entirely sure but isn’t Supernova an extension technique of Blood manipulation Choso created? Yuji was seen using that so if that’s an extension technique Yuji has one
This.
Yuji got punched through a massive building by Sukuna, walked it off, then proceeded to jump across buildings to throw hands with him. You realistically would need carpet bombing to take out someone like that.
Not saying he could take out the United States, but it’s not like he’s losing to Costa Rica. Especially with RCT now.
Yeah exactly and there was someone I was debating with who said yuji couldn't beat any special grade curse and stuff like that and somehow couldn't except that he physically scales to maki and Yuta despite copies amounts of evidence
Yuji glazers are so Delusional fr
It's already hinted most prominently that Yuji can NEVER win a fight with strong opponents all by Himself so he literally will not solo a Nation it's just facts 😂
@@Nana-ng1kz who do you consider strong opponents cause I assure you the only people he's losing to are Yuki gojo sukuna Yuta arguably ryu and uro and then maki and hakari would be 50/50 matches all both being extreme diff fights
@@Nathan24634 yuji would literally have been Dead to mahito in shibuya if it wasn't for Todo bailing him out and Sukuna because Sukuna doesn't want to be manhandle by Mahito
Seriously the only thing Yuji has against all strong opponents is him bieng the Protagonist and have the Power of Protagonist in his Side and Nothing worth mentioning 😂
Lol imagine if yuji, with his knowledge of the soul and rc, became able to use idle transfiguration as an extension technique of rct and healed todos arm!!! But that's fr possible
The claw hands are likely Sukuna’s fingers that he ate. Sukuna in his real form doesn’t have them.
Idatori might come up with a new cursed technique called piercing barrage
In yujis defense neither he nor yuta were actually trying when they fought each other
I’m ngl if there strongest special grades are sukana and gojo who like maybe above city then average special probably street-multi street level
What if yuuji really did cut sukuna's arm? And the super nova was to distract sukuna (if choso did the super nova)
Idk if I’m just out of it or not but didn’t yuji also activate sukuna’s ct when activating his blood ct
his mom is kenjaku ofc he is😭😭 (awesome vid)
Was Yuta a Special Grade SORCERER when he still had real Rika? I thought he was classified as a Special Grade Curse?
No it's sorcerer as he gets compared to the other special grade sorcerers at the time
I think trying to work out the exact, in universe, criteria for special grade that the school uses (esp when it's a 10 min sidetrack in the video lol) is kind of pointless. The characters themselves have, in canon, talked about how corrupt, outdated, and frankly trash the ranking system is multiple times. It doesn't really matter what the exact criteria is, it's just a plot device to help the viewer scale power roughly. Yuji is obviously in that power tier now. But then, I would also say characters like Uro and Ishigori were too by modern time standards. "Special" to me implies they're different than your average grade 1 in a way that elevates them to that next level, usually by having a unique CT or traits that makes them a serious threat, a strength beyond the norm amongst the sorcerers of the time. Yuji definitely is that with his RCT and soul abilities now, plus having a very good, legendary CT on top of that.
I thought the name was self describing. Special grade is a special kind of grade, not specifically anything but special in its own individual right.
yuji went from being terrible to literally hitting 8 black flashes on sukuna and ignoring slashes like its nothing
Can you do a video for maki talking abt the debate if shes special grade or stronger than toji
13:04 are you serious right now this is jjk not Naruto
I'd say that the special grade is given to thouse who have undeniable power at all times and high amounts of curse energy at all times.
Maki isn't special grade because she lacks the curse energy part.
Hakari isn't special grade because he lacks power at all times, he can go agains a special grade and win but only if he is on a role otherwise he is a very high grade 1 maybe even special grade 1 (the same rank as Naobito) but not special grade.
So right now Yuji might be lacking in the curse energy part, we don't know if he has enough curse energy to be compared to any special grade but in power he has more than enough.
u have to make the same video now after seeing the end of yuji's fight to rank him better
yuji is special 1st grade at best even jogo would beat yuji. he doesn’t have good feats for example him tanking sukunas dismantle was when megumi was holding sukuna back making him a lot weaker like and when he went toe to toe with sukuna with higuruma and yuta sukuna was literally stated to be holding back he doesn’t really even beat mahito since todo was there messing mahito up and disorienting him with boogie woogie in a 1v1 i guarentee yuji will loose. his blood manipulation hasn’t even been shown to be anywhere near a special grade level Ct
I hate the discussion about real life military technology and jjk powerscaling, realistically most of the cast die to any high caliber weaponry and most special grades (and potential SGs) would die to ONE missile strike.
@@hungrynibba4152 false
"Special Grade 1 is a rank that refers to sorcerers outside of the technical school system (ungraded active sorcerers) whose power is considered to be on the level of a Grade 1 sorcerer."
So, yeah, Yuji is just high grade 1.
Or actually, he might qualify for special grade 1 since he's not a part of Jujutsu Tech anymore.
@@Nowthisismyway yeah my bad you're right, I forgot Yuji is ATLEAST intercontinental ballistic missile level.😑
I think the way they cheated was Good hitting them with his domain for a short amount of time. I dont know if this is true but didn't Gojo help Mahito understand how ti do his domain in a short amount of time.
P.s. I also think if anybody comes back its goinf to be Shokos domain which I think is possibly necromancy or something like that. I don't do theory's but I've always thought this
Megumi and if he will ever get back out or will they have to kill him
Okay I get yuji may not meat kenjacku( which he isn’t even a higher up so take it with a grain of salt) but like when u say special grade people mean that level of strength not the country thing and by that definition he is cause of his feats
Easy, because U R MY SPECIAL.
He has shrine now after 8 black flashes
Yuji been playing full match after Gojo
No, he's not the description to be a special grade is to overthrow a damn county. Objectively yuji with bunch of soul punches and blood manipulation that's even inferior than that the level of choso can't do it.
Todo would change that whole ark if he had his hands
In my opinion I believe is at Special Grade 1 level and not Special grade
I'd disagree since the zenin clan was fully of special grade ones and an only tier one awakened maki slaughtered them and current yuji having multiple arguments for being stronger than a tier 2 awakened maki
@@n3rdyboi616 I agree and see where you’re coming from but I feel like Yugi is in his own category bellow Special Grade but can still keep up with them. Also I don’t think Yugi has the power to take on a country on his own
Special grade 1 is literally the same as grade 1. SG1 is given to those with grade 1 level skill but haven't gone to a jujutsu school.
About your travel speed statement based on yuji and yuta let’s not also forget domain expansions provide stat boosts it’s not exactly specified what stats are boosted but let’s just agree that travel speed is boosted for yuta then yuji when it comes to travel speed is above yuta with domain plus travel speed
Any little bit of cope to make Yuji seem less pathetic lol😂
What's his cursed technique
Yuji has cleave and dismantle, blood manipulation, rct, simple domain, soul based attacks, and pulls off black flashes all the time, if hes not a special grade then idk who is lol
Yujis name is about kindess taking away pain and love thought hed become semi angleic but he has cursed arms but i guess thats gojos job so yuji is kind of a nephliam
great vid
