As the title suggests, I want to remove Yuji's soul damage from his Fearsome Womb to Kyoto Goodwill Event key.
The evidence for Yuji's soul damage is: (Soul; Harmed Mahito's soul by physically punching him due to learning to perceive the contours of the soul).
I view it to be extremely inconsistent with the series itself as a whole because of the constant contradications appearing throughout the series as it progresses as it suggests something entirely different than soul damage.
Argument 1.)
Mahito states that to damage his soul, one first must be capable of perceiving the contours of their own souls in order to do so. But if that's the case, then why does Mahito's statement holds so much precedence? After all, in that point in time he wasn't aware of the contours of his own soul so he simply couldn't really know if his soul was in fact damaged. After getting hit, he laughed it off. Calling the attack "interesting", while still being unaware of what happened to him. It's only a moment after, that his nose begins to bleed that he finally questions what has happened.
And that's not all. Mahito in the scans is also reaching a conclusion based off on pure speculation as well, proven by his figure of speech.
Basing the whole evidence for Yuji's soul damage on Mahito's speculated reached conclusion should be a no. Especially if there's no further supportive evidence other than his speculated reached conclusions.
Argument 2.)
Shortly after the events of Chapter 27 (In reference to Argument 1), it's been confirmed in Chapter 29 that Yuji has been harming Mahito's soul subconsciously.
So if Yuji truly been inflicting soul damage subconsciously this whole time, then I don't see how it's possible that Yuji haven't attacked the souls of Todo, Kechizu, Eso, Choso, Hanami, and many others more, subconsciously as well. He must have and that's why there's a contradiction because Hanami actually proceeds to heal from an injury she received from Yuji's supposed soul damage. Something that shouldn't be possible according to the narrator in Chapter 252, which refers to SSK, a weapon that his sole purpose is to directly cut the soul.
Argument 3.)
Sukuna in Chapter 250 confirms that the reason behind Yuji's effective attacks against Mahito were actually the "barrier" attacks all along. Therefore, unless you don't think Sukuna's word is insufficient, then there's no reason for disagreements. But if Sukuna's word is insufficient, then whose word is possibly equivalent to that of Sukuna's exactly? Who else shared a body with Yuji, was there when Yuji fought Mahito, witnessed Yuji's abilities against Mahito first hand, and possesses the ability to perceive souls and barriers? No one, but Sukuna.
Argument 4.)
As all of these arguments go by, it's easy to forget the reasoning behind Yuji's soul damage (Refer back to Argument 1), but it's important not to, because if that was the sole reason as to why Yuji is physically capable of damaging the soul, then of course those who followed the same procedure should present the same result, but there's the thing, none of them did. In Episode 21, after Mahito understood the contours of his own soul he didn’t strike Yuji's soul as you might expect—if you take Mahito's speculative conclusion at face value, that is. And instead, he directly attacked the barrier that Yuji shares with Sukuna. That was the first thing Mahito did after understanding the contours of his own soul. Still no soul damage present anywhere in sight.
Additionally, the same applies to Sukuna—except he never attacked anyone’s barrier or their soul in the first place.
In conclusion:
Yuji's soul damage from his Fearsome Womb to Kyoto Goodwill Event key will be removed and instead would be listed as:
Enhanced Non-Physical Interaction & Extrasensory Perception (Barrier; Harmed Mahito by physically punching his barrier due to learning how to perceive the contours of the soul and sensing barriers)
