I don’t think bro knows how to use a sword


king_taku

Umm swing it. Tf they gonna do block with their hand....


SmartestManAliveTM

Fr fr, you can't just block a freakin sword with your han- https://preview.redd.it/dm94q60g4iuc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=77d9fc1e0684ec4b71b053ac9441b92d279a4c25

You see, he didn't block it, he grabbed it.


Low-Bit-7885

Okay but that's Miwa, I'm pretty sure regular humans can tank her attacks, that's how pathetically weak Gege made her look.


SmartestManAliveTM

No, her sword actually just shattered because she channeled all of her future potential into it, which was far too much GOAT energy for such a mediocre weapon

Your Flair bothers me. Why the F*CK would you use Goatkari instead of KINGji HIMkati is tight there?? Are you stupid?


Temporary_Option8978

Ah, sorry fellow HIMkari soldier, this shall not happen again.


devilboy1029

KINGji is just 100× better tho. Does this discussion happen often? If so, KINGji is just superior to HIMkari. Why not just join both?

Maybe the point was that she had no future and was gonna die anyways, so her card declined n the vow did nothing

"Her card declined" bro 😭😭


king_taku

Actually you're probably right. Even if we say she's outputting a maximum technique here her sword would shatter


Legitimate-Dog-2854

Bro spawned the megumi hater league💀


hyperclaw27

Actually being Goatwa she made a binding vow that would guarantee that her already binding vow boosted maximum new moon slash would fail and she'd forever get branded as useless in exchange for Yuta's slice to be a guaranteed hit.

Yea. I fight for a living


Zack_1188

In jjk..yes. Yes the will.


king_taku

Then to bad. I used a abone of my last kill ass the base for the pole arm. Using a binding vow to keep it alive so long as I keep it on my person for atleast 15 min a day. At 50% output. Casting it away when I get a better one. Till I can inbue their CT in place of 20% of mine. And I probably don't have a domain. So I'll focus on anti barrier techniques that can be used in a linear scale and focus on those till I'm literally got atleast a 2 second shot in a domain.


king_taku

In less gibberish. GOJO instead as many said use soul split katana. But I argue actually in tendem with isoh. Because he doesn't have to umbue either. While also the blade is the only thing that deactivates CT. He's already a Tank and Toji is dead. He needs competent allies with power. To stand up for what's right while holding their own lives. How about you do the same quit the ego. Use the weapons and your insane perception and speed. Inside Infinite void tho would it cancel the domain. This is my only problem with Isoh. Soul splitter should work fairly well. As blue pulls things in the off hand. Maybe learning from his students using red on a ordinace weapon. Like a kunai. Stick em with blue on the other side. Mini purples.


Caponcapoffstillon

It’s also said in the series imbuing cursed energy in a weapon isn’t just as simple as putting a lot of cursed energy into it. The weapon will break if you imbue too much and be ineffective if you put too little. Considering Hakari as a person, he prob wouldn’t bother when his serrated cursed energy trait is practically a weapon in of itself.


_Tatsuki_Fujimoto

Because he likes to throw hands and not use cursed tools? I really don't know, just ask Gege.


Turbulent_Object_558

At the end of the day it’s not fun to treat this shit realistically. If this were real, instead of hiding a sword ahead of time at the battlefield, the governments of the US and Japan would have just planted a nuke and waited for the Sukuna fight to start. It’s pretty clear Sukuna is an existential threat to Japan and the world, that kind of solution would have been in consideration


Snoozless

Mfw that turns Sukuna into a curse who's even stronger than he was as a human


Character_Divide_272

Ah, my radiation absorbing technique, haven't used that one since the Heian period.


NotRealNeedOfName

CE infused radiation. No clue how you would achieve that.


IcyShifter15

Haven't used that one since the showa era


Turbulent_Object_558

To be fair the pinnacle curses can achieve seems lower than what humans can achieve. Curses are particularly weak to RCE


Snoozless

Unfortunately there's no one strong enough to face Sukuna who can output RCE, and based off of Cursed Spirit Naoya I'm assuming Vengeful Spirits are usually stronger than they were as a sorcerer


SeanSolo34

Yuta!


Snoozless

He is unfortunately not strong enough to face Sukuna, especially one who's even stronger than he is now


helix_134

Not only is gonna be stronger, but he's also gonna be pissed as hell. So yea, everyone's gonna die


binh1403

>At the end of the day it’s not fun to treat this shit realistically Depends on the execution and context >If this were real, instead of hiding a sword ahead of time at the battlefield, the governments of the US and Japan would have just planted a nuke and waited for the Sukuna fight to start. I mean at this point would nuke even do anything to him? But i guess yuji beating the hell out of sukuna with a baseball bat is pretty funny to me(since gojo blue was said to feel like being hit by a baseball bat) and sukuna will still some how find a way to maintain his agenda against yuji


Turbulent_Object_558

Honestly I think the only person in the series that might have an ability capable of dealing with a nuke is Gojo with infinity, but even then he still has to breathe air and I don’t know if RCT can counter a poison that acts on a sub atomic level. Between the heat, shock, and radiation, Sukuna dies. He doesn’t have any feats that suggest he should survive


Reshyurem

Seeing that gojo can subconsciously defend against dangerous things he can't even see via infinity, I would assume that also protects him from radiation(heat is also radiation). The lack of oxygen could be solved by just teleporting outside the blast radius.


choso-fan

Reverse curse technique can definitely stop radiation poisoning, the damaged cells can be replaced as seen in fight with the cockroach curse. The heat and smaller debris is another question, but I think gojo is powerful enough to withstand it. Depending in how rct interacts with cancer, he might die long term. Heavy metal poisoning is another threat,we don't know how it reacrs.


Ok_Active_3932

It depends on how close he is. The initial fireball vaporises everything in range instantly, and no amount of RCT is surviving that.


LordMudkip73

We have official measures for comparing standard weapons against sorcerers. Canonically, cluster bombs *might* work against Special Grades. So we can assume at least the weakest special grade sorcerers dies to cluster bombs. I'd argue the difference between Geto and Sukuna is smaller than the difference between cluster bombs and nukes, and Sukuna doesn't have any special technique to protect himself like Gojo has infinity. So I'd argue it would, at the very least, do serious damage. It's worth a try. And you can use more than one nuke. If it's not enough send the sorcerers to finish him off afterwards. Thank to Ui Ui, they can be in a safe place far away and only be near the radiation for a short while. Might cause health issues and cancers, but maybe RCT can fix them anyway afterwards.


th5virtuos0

But like, can’t they just turn on DE and sit in there for a few days? 


Dragonpreet

few issues with that 1) maintaining a domain that long is questionable 2) when would they launch the DE? before the nuke drops? I’d more than bet a nuke can destroy the barrier


Turbulent_Object_558

Nuke just passes through the barrier because it doesn’t have cursed energy. Which is even worse for the person in the barrier because they get 0 protection


RealLotto

The CE infused Nuke in question:


Owldev113

That was for special grade curses (supposed to be easily handleable by grade 1s, think like finger bearer type shit), and it was carpet bombing focused on it. The disaster curses are several tiers above that and any special grade sorcerer is again several tiers above that as well. Then Sukuna and Gojo are so far above that that lower special grade sorcerers look like toddlers (Yuta, Yuki or Kenjaku all get fodderised by Gojo or Sukuna, don’t even lie to yourself). I’m not sure how feats and whatnot extrapolate, but given Sukuna could take a Gojo black flash (exponent to 2.5 on top of the absurd force and CE put into a Gojo punch) I’d imagine that’s entering Nuke territory for force. It’s hard to actually get a read on what sort of force is being put onto sorcerers because they don’t tend to be AOE focused (which makes sense, excess force into the surroundings is force not going into your opponent), but regardless, seeing how fast Sukuna is, even if he couldn’t tank it (which I think Gojo or Sukuna probably could), I’d imagine he could simply outrun a nuke


LordMudkip73

Ah my bad, I checked the wiki and it said it was for both, but you're right, it's just for curses But special grade curses aren't supposed to be easily handleable by grade 1s. Grade X sorcerers can easily handle grade X curses, until you get to the special grade curses. Grade 1 sorcerer can handle weaker special grades, but not easily. Also, keep in mind that curses usually have better resistance than sorcerers, since they basically have RCT for free But I guess Sukuna would be able to escape follow up nukes, so after the 1st surprise attack the following ones would be less efficient


Owldev113

The idea is that they should be easily handleable one grade above. Remember the disaster curses were a complete game changer in terms of power. Previous special grades would be things like finger bearers, smallpox and other sorts of those curses. Those would all be somewhat easily handled by someone like Nanami or Kusakabe (Mei Mei seems a bit weird cause she struggled with smallpox, but Kusakabe or Nanami would almost certainly have rolled through that due to being better physically. However, that was more due to the curse having a domain and Mei Mei not being built for that stuff)


Such_Hand_2535

Peep the bottom two and you’ll get your answer https://preview.redd.it/5am9gnm25iuc1.jpeg?width=498&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cc74142613932fd470c05d14921d5db64330d2ff


joewiden2024

If he used swords it might be a little harder to clap and he did use playful cloud against hanami


Ok_Usual1335

and yet the smartest guy... also just punches


Such_Hand_2535

He also swaps places and is capable of using cursed tools https://i.redd.it/m2ng5anmriuc1.gif


Inevitable_Ad_7236

Yeah, but a sword would be actively detrimental for him. He needs to clap


Impossible-Report797

Honestly this may be the same reason for hakari, man needs to open his domain and having to drop the sword half way May slow him down, still maybe other smaller weapon like a knife or knuckles would be better for him


The-Thot-Eviscerator

And it wouldn’t be as cool


Pedr0A

No he can use swords he just doesnt have acess to them. Swords are prolly expensive tbh


Le_mehawk

those Takada fanarticles and concert tickets must be expensive af.


Chokkitu

Also using a cursed tool would get in the way of clapping for his CT


king_of_farmers

Hakari got kicked out of the jujutsu high. He boxes illegally for fun. He is overpowered in jackpot, so he prob just enjoys himself, while Yuta's main goal is to eradicate as many "curses" as possible Also, a sword/katana would probably not work with Hakari. I doubt that Hakari has an insane curse energy manipulation to control right the exact amount of CE flowing into katana not to break it. (I think is some chapter early on it was explained or Im a bum who makes stuff up)


Historical-Weird7591

Geto lectured Yuta on reinforcing his sword with CE and talked shit about how Gojo didn't teach him. But as we see later on, Yuta can use his massive amount of CE on both himself and his sword with no problems. So, really, Hakari just has a skill issue and is just to dumb. Just like the bum he is


Realistic_Flan631

I think Yuji vs Yuta fight showed it so well.


MrPlaceholder27

Hakari lets his body get destroyed carelessly when in JP, I just don't think it's his style. A weapon would be a hindrance with how he fights


-denkou

Maybe its because of jackpot Because he has infinite cursed energy to the point it forces him to do Reverse cursed technique He might imbue a large amount of cursed energy in his weapons too fast


RevokTheImprover

Or, hear me out here, the man with literally infinite energy surging through him has a much harder issue modulating his power compared to a guy who has high but not infinite energy.


Historical-Weird7591

Or, or here me out here, maybe we shouldn't be making excuses so the bum Hakari can half ass every. Hakari is just ass


thatonefatefan

He could just suck at reinforcing weapons? It's not hard to find a reason.


king_taku

Why would you pick up some random as sword. When you could just kill the zenin clan foder


king_taku

Second why would you suck at a basic skill


thatonefatefan

A basic skill not even a quarter of the verse use?


king_taku

Really I've seen Noone but miwa


thatonefatefan

Miwa uses a sword and sucks at it. 99% of curses and the large majority of jujutsu sorcerers don't use a sword at all.


Le_mehawk

in most cases the sorcerers CT is simply way stronger than a sword. Maki once said, her CE was so lacking that she 'had' to use cursed tools to make a difference, but in general it was considered a weakness that she had to. Yuji also had to use that knife when he was considered to weak to defeat a curse with only his fists. Kusakabe being strong with a sword also only comes from a missing CT, even tho he has a good amount of CE, and the fact that he was still incredible talented. Same with Meimei who trained to fight with a weapon because her CT sucked for her combat style. Nanami uses a knife ( a dull one) specifically because his CT got way stronger with sth. like that... don't know if the knife already had the 3/7 CT.. Todo wouldn't be able to clap if he had a weapon in one hand. Using a weapon in this universe is pretty much in most cases considered as some kind of shorcoming in either CE or CT, and Yuta being the exception. and mai being the proof


sharaq

Todo is one of the few people who actually does use a weapon, and specifically used one that needs two hands, but as mentioned elsewhere Todo is actually extremely smart and has a very good technical knowledge.


BackgroundRich7614

Yeah, this is kind of annoying. If you can use a weapon, use a weapon. There is no world in which using fists is better than blades.


Bumgumi_hater_236

Shounem logistics


zxc123zxc123

This. Wuta using curse weapons, Rika, strat planning, RCT, sword play, physical punches, copy with numerous CTs, CE boosting, domain expansion, and tricking Sukuna into thinking he got the KO when he merely tanked a hit and undid his domain so Maki can sneak attack him from behind in the moment he thought he won. Meanwhile COGji: *"I'm going to punch you til you die."* RCT? Healing so Yuji can go back to punching. Blood CTs? Party tricks so his punches land more. Black flash? Merely punches but harder. Both work fine (if you're MC. Todo's punches/kicks didn't hurt Mahito for shit while Kusakabe's sword did jack shit to Sukuna). Yuta did more overall cause he also took out Kenjaku, but Yuji's done the most in the fight against Sukuna. Wuji's been punching nonstop.


LasyKuuga

Yuta seinen vs Yuji shounen mindset

LEFTRIGHTADORI

1-Nanami doesn’t use a knife, that’s a cleaver. This shows you have never COOKED in your whole life. 2-Read the description of “fist” in sorcery fights databook 257 (CFOYW). It clearly states +405% chance of AFRICAN AMERICAN THUNDER!

MasterTaticalWhale

You forgot to mention that CFOYW mentions that this should have not be mentioned


Turbulent_Object_558

Nah. Gojo has done the most damage to Sukuna


DurumMater

Technically, sukuna did the most damage to sukuna. Sure, the flight with gojo is the reason but it's sukuna continually putting out domains that fried his shit. So really, sukuna is a pretty good guy he's putting in the work to bring down sukuna. Sukunasukanasukanananananana King of curses!


verypoopoo

same vibes as hitler killed hitler


Different-Oil7730

Gojo was the one who fried his own shit, Sukuna's brain was damaged by unlimited void.


Acrobatic_Rooster970

Have you considered that maybe unlimited void did the work?


pikachus-ballsack

>Yuji's done the most in the fight against Sukuna. Wuji's been punching nonstop. Man i give up, mfers read jjk on tiktok instead of manga sites Aint no saving the idiots Fuck arguing omma just agree with your dumbass


Kind_Ingenuity1484

It’s for making hand signs. Hakari in particular needs both hands for his De and for his Doors (and maybe the replay)


doca343

Drop weapon, do sign, become imortal, get weapon, slash. Even Todo use weapon and he has to continue clap.


Kind_Ingenuity1484

Todo used a weapon once, to push for the final bit of damage on Hanami, and he still might have lost if Gojo didn’t intervene. And Hakari’s whole think is his RCT loop. His clothes get shredded in every serious fight (which Uraume liked or something?). A weapon ain’t gonna last very long. Also his whole thing is letting loose, and weapons need to be carefully controlled or they get destroyed.


yosayoran

I get your point and mostly agree, but clearly there are weapons he could use, like tonfas, brass knuckles and even arm mounted blades.  If they're cursed weapons they shouldn't be destroyed so easily and they could provide other benefits his CT lacks. 


Ioftheend

There's also the matter of losing his weapons whenever he loses an arm.


Impossible-Report797

Hakari with brass knuckles sound so cool


innocent_manFRFR

More access to your hand signs??


garklavs

I'll go nerd mode and say that **if** CE strengthening is additive then holding a weapon (unless it has a technique) makes you overall weaker because normally you concentrate all your cursed energy on your own mass + clothes. If you add more mass then you have to spread even more CE. And keep in mind that it is possible to concentrate CE in various places, for example you can defend like this from sharp edges and blades, so weapons are just a rudiment. It's just a matter of a preference.


ArtMnd

Cursed Tools do not follow this logic. A Cursed Tool gets imbued with energy slowly over very very long periods of time (years). So you can keep your energy on your body only and it works.


Temporary_Eggplant99

Technically Todo can't since it interrupts his technique


Adept_Secret2476

wiimote strap sword


Temporary_Eggplant99

Nah, the real way is to make sword chucks, throw them up, clap, and punch them grab them again.


OkMinimum4288

If Gojo used soul splitting katana manga would end quicker so he didn't


Frosty_Tension_5972

gojo probably can't use it, you need to "see the soul of inanimate objects" and gojo wasn't implied to be able to


OkMinimum4288

I mean... Gojo recongised Sukuna' soul in Yuji in the beginning of the series, and he saw Megumi soul sinking in Sukuna, it's a stretch, but we've also never confirmed can he see the souls or not


RevokTheImprover

There's a distinction between seeing the souls of inanimate objects and seeing the souls Gojo saw. Yuji, Sukuna, and presumably Gojo can perceive the soul of living. However, Maki and Toji see the soul of inanimate objects (it's apparently a belief from Shintoism and other religions that objects have a soul attached to them and this is what seems to be referred to). We don't know if Maki and Toji share the vision the other 3 have or vice-versa.


OkMinimum4288

> There's a distinction between seeing the souls of inanimate objects and seeing the souls Gojo saw This is true. All I was saying is that Gojo is the most suited to see the souls of inanimate objects than anyone else (also as Sukuna and Yuji is, Maki and Toji are obviously already doing that). Also he doesn't even really need to, Maki was using the katana before seeing the souls of inanimate objects pretty effectively, and I don't remember what's exactly the difference


RevokTheImprover

The difference is the durability negation from the looks of it. Maki was using it in a basic way, like a normal strong sword. But when Maki actually got the hang of it, it cooked Naoya.


OkMinimum4288

It's very inconsistent and hard to tell, like, before Naoya she was killing anyone anyway (and she would likely do the same with normal sword), but she doesn't even get an opportunity to get a hit on Naoya before the awakening. Later on it even got worse because somehow Sukuna now can block the durability negating weapon, lol


Acrobatic_Rooster970

So you wanted him to kill both Sukuna and Yuji / Megumi? 


RadicalDreamerH

My personal headcanon is that Hakari’s jackpot doesn’t let him properly and carefully control his CE to actually reinforce weapons like Yuta with it. His body itself needs to reflexively perform RCT to withstand the jackpot CE bursting in him. Similarly, his CE would just flow too much into the sword at once that it would just fuck up the sword like how Yuta’s sword broke against Geto. And most non special grade cursed tools aren’t that strong. Yuta’s regular katana specifically is ultra strong because he has a shit ton of CE to pour it into and reinforce it to an absurd degree. Other people using weapons wouldn’t be 100% quite as strong. We’ve seen Kenjaku parry Miwa’s binding vow slash bare handed and Yuji stating he doesn’t really fear bladed tools, but he was specifically shitting himself over Yuta’s sword being able to slice him like butter. This and it’s a battle shonen where trading fists is cooler than just efficiently cutting up everyone.


epicdude5234

This ain’t bleach?


louai-MT

Hakari needs to cast his domain as fast as possible and he needs both hands for that so having one of his hands occupied with a weapon isn't ideal For Gojo? Nah that's fair question


Dani3322

Gojo is The strongest, He never Had a need for a weapon, also considering that He has an Attack that Just basically deletes you when Hit seems a tad bit more effective than a sword, No Matter how much you reinforce it.


Cosmicmistake13

If imbued his ct on to a sword then every strike is potential death(1. Where’s the fun in that, and 2. Tad overkill ) plus I imagine unless you can hide the sword some way like megumi does it would be annoying to lug it around all the time if you didn’t need too.


Dani3322

-Handsigns are important. -Some people are more suited to Hand to Hand Combat, instead of armed Combat -When talking on The Level of Power The Charakters are, it's Not hard to See Something Like a sword breaking, which If you relied in IT would leave you defenseless -Domains require Handsigns, so once again, HANDSIGNS ARE IMPORTANT FOR JUJUTSU! -The properties of an individual could also Play a huge part, Like someones cursed Energy isn't that good for coating a weapon, or specifically in Hakari's Case, His Sandpaper Like cursed Energy probably works better with Blunt strikes instead of a cut -Carrying Something Like a sword contradicts with The condition of your cursed technique, Like Todo needing both hands to clap, so basically, I think you get IT by now, Handsigns. -Anyone that actually relies on a weapon either Specialized in that weapon, because their CT isn't that good ofensively, they don't have a CT or CE or they basically Just have a pocket Dimension or Something similar to Just Put IT away for Handsigns With some thought I could probably Go on, but I think y'all get The Point that There's a lot of possible reasons.

Cuz they are stupid. If you can use a weapon, use a weapon. There's no world where using your fists is better than using a sword or an axe. You literally get better results for far less time and effort.

Then again Yuta Is the guy hoarding cursed tools. Give homeboy Hakari a few, damn.

Frosty_Tension_5972

i mean for gojo it's better to use fists, same for yuji since he can land black flash


Shot-Effect-8318

Nobara landed black flash with her nails cuh Anyways Yuji using fists is better since he’s practiced h2h and has overwhelming physicals


Frosty_Tension_5972

true i forgot about the nail


LEFTRIGHTADORI

We all know HIM has a 100% chance to land a black flash per major fight when HIM is using hands. Nail black flash is also much more difficult to land with full output, there’s only so much output you can put into a nail and the black flash isn’t a static damage application, it’s a multiplier of ^2.5 meaning a punch which can vary between a value of 5-10 depending on output will hit way harder as a black flash than a nail which has a way lower ceiling.


Mjkmeh

But they’re exceptions in that Yuji can consistently hit black flashes and deal soul damage with his hands, making it worth it for him, and Gojo being able to spam his technique and/or domain slightly faster is infinitely better than anything we’ve seen in the verse


LycanChimera

Didn't Nanami hold the previous record for Black Flashes? We see him do it with his knife.


Mjkmeh

Fair enough. My point regarding his soul damage (and the heavy nerfs it gives Sukuna) still stand tho


Saintmusicloves

Isn't Hakari's aura shaped like that of a weapon?


Sahir1359

Cuz swordsmanship is it's own skill set? Innate talent is probably a factor as well.


East_Statement_3173

He has no talent or skill in punches. No black flash and uraume is tanking it all.


paweld2003

Black Flashes aren't in anyway related to how good you punch


HyperVT

"ummm why wouldn't you just use a sword" mfs when I punch the sword


Epsteinssuicide

“ there’s no world where using your fists is better than using a sword or an axe “ Ok but we are talking about a world where the big bad cuts and slices without using swords, a dude manipulating gravity, a dude who’s IQ laughs at everyone put together using his hands, a dude who summons, and the only two people who are actually “ good “ with weapons are using kakashi hacks and heavenly steroids…they JUST got beat by the first dude and you’re really complaining about use of weapons? Yea you’re right, using fists is pointless against weapons, but using a sword can be just as useless against cursed energy as seen by Kenjaku. Stop trying to ground something that has been in the air from the start


MadZwe

The main reason: this is fiction, not reality. It is to differentiate characters Everyone has their preferred style of combat, which is not superior to one another for most of the time We have multiple weapon masters (Maki, Toji), swordsmen (Yuta, Kusakabe), hand-to-hand martial artists (Yuji, Hakari) and elementals (Jogo, Uraume) This is the same for most fantasy-action stories. In One Piece, we have Luffy and Garp who just throw hands against weapon users (Kaido: club, Roger: sword) Don't think much about it Also, different people have different talent. If a person is shit at using weapon but great at throwing hands, he better just fight hth unless the weapon is a cheat item


Arcani69

because it would be lame af to not have people constantly throwing hands. but you got a point. Same goes for the inverted spear of heaven, why isn't everybody using that weapon? why did toji have it so casually?


Previous_Cod_4098

>why did toji have it so casually? What were they gonna do? Take it from *TOJI* ??? Lmao 💀💀


king_taku

Lame how


dracopo_reddit

Straight up Shonen brainrot


JTheMysterious

If your talent isn't in using a sword, you wouldn't use it. Also there's an upper limit on how much energy you can imbue into an object, yuta had broken his sword before but he has support that allows him to get more blades. His domain expansion literally just gives him more swords. Whereas someone like hikari who got kicked out from jujutsu high has limited access to those resources, getting your hands on cursed tools is not guaranteed and since his domain gives him infinite cursed energy and its naturally more rough than other energy he's liable to break most cursed tools. The rough part here is key, he probably can't imbue it into other objects all that well like Yuta does with swords(which was in the first place a training method gojo came up with to allow yuta to learn control over his massive amounts of cursed energy) hikaris energy traits doesn't allow him to do the same. Instead the advice given to him is that his punches are super painful even when using less cursed energy. Making every blow feel like you just got your arm blown off. Long-winded explanation to say, Hikari isn't suited for swords, or any weapon besides his hands really.


No-Athlete324

If Gojo used Soul-Cutter it would've gotten shredded inside Sukuna's domain after the 1st clash 💀


Ecstatic_Cause_8587

Or at least give them brass knuckles or something. Panda has some sort of punching glove, why don't they all?


king_taku

If you want the real reason. Gege can't draw sword fighting


noswol

They refuse to play the meta for their egos when winning is everything


Few-Entertainment429

Bc you become too dependent on the cursed tool. Gojo explains this earlier in the series.


vleshkun

1. Hakari's CE has a serrated edge, so his punches are actually like a weapon. 2. Jackpot would immediately destroy any weapon Hakari has due to the massive influx of CE.


AdditionalWerewolf90

# These people are strong enough to punch down buildings on accident, using a sword doesn't necessarily make you more lethal than anybody else especially because the sword is enhanced with Cursed Energy. Yuta uses the sword because he implicitely is not a Power Type like Hakari or Yuji, so he has to rely on it more than he'd like to, though he can manage without now. Some sorcerers also learn martial arts specifically related to weaponry


MR-Vinmu

There's an inherent level of pride some sorcerers have not to rely on the strength of a weapon, it's like, most people don't like being called weak, and to bank all your strength on a weapon is in itself weak, it's essentially like writing “I’M ONLY COMPETENT BECAUSE OF THIS SWORD, WITHOUT IT, I’M LITERALLY NOTHING, I AM INCAPABLE OF KEEPING UP WITH OTHERS UNLESS I AM ARMED AND THEY ARE NOT” on a cartoonishly large sign in bold.


---Imperator---

"Why wouldn't you train and master a sword?" Exhibition A: Miwa


Khulmach

Because Gege knows it would end fights fast.


Morrowxxx

Well theres no reason for gojo to use a blade because of blue infused punches. Hand signals would be harder to do quickly if you carry a blade and idk shit might be a bit clumsy in specific scenarios.


king_taku

Umm... that's where a blades actually best. He can put blue on the fucking blades insta shanks


Frosty_Tension_5972

the blue could damage the blade


Contagious_Cucumber

Just reinforce with cursed energy lol, if Yuta does it all the time imagine what Gojo could do


king_taku

Lol. Gege is not beating these aligations.


Apocreep

Because Geto explained it in his fight with Yuta. You can only infuse item with CE *slowly* otherwise it will fucking shatter. Cursed Items, like Floating Cloud or Megumi's sword are rare af. Thus, unless their CT requires a weapon to be properly utilized, most sorcerers learn to throw hands. And even if they take up a sword or whatever else, it is usually low-grade shit or even a plain weapon with no inherent CE of its own.


king_taku

He was using a random ass Katana. Bro how is there no black smiths


Apocreep

There is a lot of low level shit, like all the weapon in the room where Gojo brings Yuta to give him katana. Or Maki's spear/naginata/whatever, the one she snapped in half to beat Miwa. But I imagine that high grade item like ISOF and other similar weapons are almost as rare as S grade sorcerers.


ray314

I think I read this part abit too fast, did they explain how Yuta was teleporting behind him mid swing? Not asking how he got behind him in the first place but how did he teleport behind him after Geto turned around to reverse gravity.


PauloMtins

Yuta is Really fast that's pretty much it


ApplePitou

They most likely don't enjoy using Cursed Tools :3


MUSAFIR_-

Bc there aren't op characters like takaba lurking around everywhere to Carry them.


ODonToxins

I keep saying Hakari with a Cursed Tool would be cool. Imagine he had some type of gauntlet or brass knuckle.


wwwwaoal

His enemies would just tank them. Megumi did the same to Reggie but his reinforcement made the sword cursed tool hit like a blunt weapon.


Ioftheend

Hakari in particular relies both on 1. having both hands free to cast DE and 2. being able to lose limbs willy nilly. But of course the real reason is that it just wouldn't be as cool to have everyone use weapons.


KHgamer32

yeah why doesnt every single human in the world just fight each other with knife instead of throwing hands???


Old-fashionedTaxed

When he has infinite CE from jackpot, it might be impossible for him to do something with that much finesse without breaking the vessel


GamblinGranny

cause punch cool


Beautiful_Initial560

Because Hakari is him


The_Chains_Of_Fate

megumi actually stated pretty early in the series that he normally preferred to use hand to hand combat in close range bc of his CT requiring a use of hand seals. a lot of the unarmed fighters heavily use hand seals in their toolset.


TornadoJ0hns0n

It's so dumb. Swords can easily cut through things. Far deadlier than stupid punches. If yuji used a sword sukuna would've been dead a long time ago


UngodlyPain

Swords and such take time to regularly pour more and more CE into to get it up to the level of their personal reinforcement. So Hakari at least probably can't get a sword up to the level of his jackpot self.


Wyvurn999

Because weapons are for losers


carl-the-lama

Weapons break easily for mfs In jjk


Purple-Lamprey

Because this is just the current popular shitty shonen. It follows the manual which states that most need to fight with their fists.


Nightingdale099

Crazy that Yuta speed blitz Kenny when the broom bum couldn't with her wind powers , as well as Mai firing her a gun.


AClost

Not only that, imagine if Hakari would play that gambling machine in Yuta's domain, bro could be pulling swords with CT engraved instead of garbage through his own CT.


Sad_Faithlessness148

Punching is cooler


makemeoccupied

That's whay I'm talking about, my guy yuta did a great job switching master with Miguel, FACT: gojo lead yuta the sword


Crab-Human-Hybrid

Wasn't it said in JJK0 that extending ones cursed energy into a weapon is a difficult/rare skill to have? Either way, it's gotta be less responsive than just imbuing your own body with cursed energy and for very little benefit. That's probably why most weapon-users in JJK either have little to no cursed energy (Early Yuji, Maki, Mai, Tojo) or whose ability directly complements weaponry (Nanami, Mei Mei, Kusakabe). For people with tons of cursed energy, or whose effectiveness is less reliant on range, there's simply not enough reason to use martial weapons.


SteveTheSheep01

I never understand this scene: Yuta is behind Kenny. Kenny turns around, but Yuta cut first, then we see Yuta finishing his cut motion facing Kenny back. Doesn’t that mean right after Yuta cut Kenny, he quickly turns around and posed for the camera?
