Because they can still feel the aura and presence of a character and assign a threat level based on that. Like how Jogo could immediately recognize the danger when he was in Sukuna’s presence.
Yes. You can literally feel the danger and threat level someone imposes based on aura. This is an established fact of JJK.
Why would that make them stupid?
"feels the aura"
Anyways
it isn't always the case but the fact of the matter is that it doesn't matter (haha) because of everything else. But just to answer, they'd be stupid because they quite literally have a recording to measure Sukuna's power and compare it to Dabura instead of just... aura scaling.
Yes because it was literally established in chapter 2 that they didn’t know anything about the aliens or even spoke to them before since they were shocked by the fact that they could speak Japanese and even questioned if they spoke English in the US. Why would they question that if they were already there with them?
Also it was established in chapter 2 that this was the first time they were meeting Dabura.
That was the Japanese government. Not the Jujutsu Society/Higher Ups. This is just a lie
Promotional videos don’t really work as strong evidence and some of the statements don’t even aid in the claim. Like one of them is just Yuji saying “Jujutsu high classified Dabura as a Sukuna-level threat” which goes back to what I previously said about Jujutsu higher ups using Sukuna as their baseline assumption for Dabura’s strength.
And you think Yuji wouldn't correct them? The Yuji that has been able to tell people's strength since Shibuya?
The fact you're streching this much just to not scale Dabura actually tells alot
Because they’re hiding Dabura’s true capabilities from the audience but still want to build hype towards his character.
Ah yes,
TENGEN, decided to LIE to the audience, for no reason. Gege decided to build hype towards the character by saying hes equal to sukuna instead of just saying hes stronger which would build more hype yes yes. Man, what.
Yuji can be however much stronger than Sukuna as he likes, it’s not contradictory. It’s been decades since the main series, Yuji saying he can handle Dabura is justification in of itself and his casual dismantle dwarfed literally anything Sukuna was shown to do so again it doesn’t contradict anything.
Except it is absurd to claim that since his latent potential just grew through thousands of times just because... he got old.
"dwarfed literally anything sukuna has shown" and it was a dust cloud of grade 3-4 curses dying, crine.
Yuji has 0 feats above Sukuna level, he has higher range and that's it.
Ui Ui’s crows don’t prove they’re on the same level since we don’t see what Ui Ui actually managed to record and there was no comparison between the Mahoraga Gojo fought and the one Dabura fought. A civilian spectator was just commenting on the fact that they previously thought Mahoraga was dead but has no suddenly shown up again.
Re-read the point, "
there's 0 showing of anything changing in his threat level" and they would indeed realise if Mahoraga was thousands of times stronger than before in Shinjuku
in the same way that normal humans realised Gojo's output level via recordings aswell. And why would Ui Ui stop recording at any point...?
We see that the intent is that he recorded everything and was even smiling at it with Usami even saying he just records whatever he wants at this point.
Dabura’s done more damage even to an equivalently adapted Mahoraga than Sukuna as well. A casual attack from Mahoraga completely vaporized the whole top half of a Mahoraga that had already gone through 2 spins of adaptation, and 2 spins of adaptation was enough for Mahoraga to withstand 15f Sukuna’s Malevolent Shrine.
It mostly has to do with strength though. If Mahoraga is boosted then it’s therefore naturally much stronger and more durable than normal is the point.
That is indeed not how it works, see, this is what I mean by no one actually read how Mahoraga works.
Mahoraga adapts to the techniques in specific that he is in contact with. He adapted to shrine so shrine stopped working. Mahoraga had
NOT ADAPTED TO DABURA'S PHYSICALS, that's why Dabura even notes he only realised how fast he adapts to them after it. Dabura knew his technique was useless now indepdent of the fact that it was stronger than his own physicals so he goes for physicals instead since he didn't expect Mahoraga to adapt that quickly. It's the SAME REASON, an adapted Mahoraga in Shinjuku got completely vaporized by Hollow Purple despite adapting to Black Flashes from Gojo, while Sukuna was obviously below Black Flashes from Gojo by at least a 2.5x gap (black flash multiplier). So Mahoraga had adapted to something 2.5x Sukuna's physicals and still got vaporized by something that Sukuna survived... do you genuinely not realise how Mahoraga works from here? (Not even touching the fact that Mahoraga gets damaged by regular Gojo punches)
Let's assume the output needed to one shot mahoraga is "60"
Mahoraga can adapt to X Technique that can go up to 100 output because the guy decided to attack him with the same technique but with 50 output before, so now even if he increases to 100 output, it wont work.
This does
NOT mean Mahoraga's value one shot changed.
If an attack with 70 output hits Mahoraga, it'd still one shot him regardless. Why do you think he was able to adapt to A
HIGH 3-A ATTACK yet would still be vaporized by a 6-C attack (Hollow Purple).
Basically Mahoraga simply hadn't adapted yet, Dabura's physicals, ESPECIALLY his durability did
NOT change.
Mahoraga's durability is
not linear.
I think characters need to at least have some knowledge on the person and their abilities in order to make an accurate assessment of their capabilities. Especially when their techniques are involved, otherwise their assessment is open to change based on new information that they previously didn’t have coming to light.
For example, Yorozu has an application of her ability that allows for high 3-A AP, but this would never be known unless that specific knowledge of her is available. Or Yuki as another example, Kenjaku by virtue of not knowing her technique had absolutely no clue how strong Yuki was and tried to keep her at a distance only for her to straight up one shot his special grade cursed spirit.
This is irrelevant for the thread by the way since the thread is simply saying Gojo and Sukuna scale to Dabura in
durability. They don't scale to the light-speed kick itself in any way from what we know. No one is denying that you can say the light speed kick > Gojokuna. It's just that Dabura's durability is relative to them since his CT does not increase his durability, so the knowledge of techniques is pointless. Also... tengen/narrator knew about his techniques even before he accelerated... still said hes a Sukuna level threat. I want you to please justify why would the narrator just lie? The whole "to build hype" doesn't work cause saying he's stronger would just.. build more hype? lol
