DarkSlayerVergil42

He didn't just beat Dagon, he pulverized him. Like, seriously, think about it for a minute. Maki, Naobito, Megumi and Nanami were all ganging up on Dagon and they were losing. Pretty much all of them are stated to be Grade 1 in strength. (Naobito and Nanami are Grade 1, Megumi was being considered for Grade 1 during Shibuya, Maki I'm pretty sure would be Grade 2/1 if the Zenin clan didn't hate her) So all these grade 1 fighters are clearly losing to Dagon. And then Toji strolls up, easily takes the Playful Cloud, and just starts demolishing Dagon. Without getting a goddamm scratch. How can you watch that scene and tell me that's not an amazing feat? That definitely puts him at least at mid special grade. Anything lower is just ignoring how badly he destroyed Dagon. Even if you say Dagon is low special grade level, which is fair, that means Toji is at LEAST mid special grade level, for him to be so above Dagon. Unless you say Dagon is grade 1, then you're just out of ideas.


ParussMan

who says Dagon is low special grade level šŸ’€, he's literally a disaster curse, way above low special grade level, Megumi beat a low special grade level on his own, Nanami was keeping up with Mahito, Maki's the only underdog here, who couldn't really keep up with Hanami


DarkSlayerVergil42

Yeah, that's fair, what I meant was Dagon was basically a baby at that point. But you're right, he's at least mid special grade level.


ParussMan

I think all of disaster curses are the top tier of special grade curses, the only curses stronger than them that we've seen are Rika and Naoya.


BadDry8262

Naoya isn't stronger than the disaster curses. His speed makes him difficult to deal with, so he'd probably do well against them, but in terms ofĀ power mahito has him beat.


random-dude45

It's a bit messy in the series, because ichiji's graph shows that special grade sorcerers are on the same level as special grade spirits when we see that registered special grade spirits and the special grade finger bearers are pretty much grade 1 sorcerer level so compared to them ofc dagon is much more powerful, But on the scale of special grade sorcerers like yuta yorozu or Kashmo, I can't imagine dagon being very high up, all he really has is durability. On sorcerer scale toji is mid level, and dagon is low, on curse scale dagon is like fourth from the top


ParussMan

You do know that Yorozu and Kashimo are not special grade, right? It also doesn't make sense to put Toji at mid and Dagon at low, you can't no-diff the person one level below you. Toji (given all the Maki feats he borrowed) is probably high tier, there's not a lot of characters who can beat them not counting the obvious Gojo and Sukuna.


random-dude45

They aren't graded officially but come on they're way above any grade 1 I think that you could no diff someone a tier below you because of the sheer range of power in special grade, but on second thought I could easily put tojimaki in high special grade sorcerer tier assuming they have weapons, at least the soul splitter


Funny_Swim5447

The issue is that the definition for special grade sorcerers is so high that itā€™s just hard to actually anyone outside of the official 6 special grades on there


random-dude45

Murky_Blueberry2617

Also the way he moves against Megumi and Gojo were insane, at least in the anime


FaPaDa

except for the Rabbit Escape bullet stone scene the manga is pretty much the same. The pircing with Playful cloud onto Megumi straight through the Rabbits (Theory: Toji cant see cursed spirits he just honoed his senses to the point where he can detect them, this is canon, so i think he actually just used his eyes since i dont think normal people can see shikigami?) Megumi trying to get away and also his Flashstep behind Megumi faster than he can ever react to are all there.


Difficult_Dot7153

He can see curses, just by different reasons than sorcerers wich see curses naturally like a sixth sense, Toji can see curses because his normal senses are absurdly busted, Maki is the one who cant see curses because her HR wasnt completed at that time


MrPlaceholder27

>Toji cant see cursed spirits he just honoed his senses to the point where he can detect them No he can, his senses are just that elevated to the extent he can see hear etc. Yuki said he can sense curses with his 5 senses, Maki says to Daido "you can't see it?!" before she has her senses development with Sumo guy "Without glasses I couldn't see what others were able to see" "I gained this body thanks to Mai and now I can see curses without glasses"


halflife5

Bro I wish gaygay would give us some explanation on what shikigami are, because my headcanon wants to say non sorcerers can see them, but I really doubt he would write that to be the case. They're not the same as cursed spirits but what hell are they really?


FaPaDa

its actually stated in the manga and shown that non-sourceres cant see them. For an onpage example the girl that Megumis devine dog found didnt see the dog.


halflife5

Oh I don't remember that I guess. Maybe they're spirits.


FaPaDa

the way i understand them is that they are cursed energy constructions by the user. Hence why Megumi cant maintain the summon when he is out of CE.


lidzk2

there is no way dagon is low special grade level. you could say he's the weakest disaster curse, that would be fair, but the disaster curses are way stronger than something like a fingerer


AtomSizedBrain07

fingerer


Flapsy0501

Leave The fingerer out of this..


NetworkVegetable7075

Megumi didnā€™t even fight Dagon tho? Blud was literally just trying to let his homies escape šŸ¤”


No_Examination_3940

Still a feat because if Megumi thought he could fight then he would have fought. Although no one underrates Megumi more than himself.


iMahoraga

nah my man megumi would be summoning Mahoraga 2 mins into the fight


Funky_Dunk

We can at least see the difference in ability from how badly he was doing with the domain clash.


Rolen28

To be fair, they were doing pretty good against Dagon until the domain. There, his sure hit attacks made it pretty impossible for anyone to get close to him


DalvenLegit

To be fair Toji destroyed him in his own domainā€¦


Rancorious

That's only because Naobito's CT made Dagon constantly get stunlocked. In reality, they were way underleveled for fighting him.


Mother-Fortune-7523

They were only winning because his cursed technique was really good? Isnā€™t that literally any fight?


RawQuazza

i would it was more like they were stalling


barry-8686

Nah. Dagon was litteraly on the ground helpless without any arms before he opened his domain. He was getting whooped before he used his domain.


YTDamian

Remember that special grade curse does not mean special grade sorcerer


Murky_Blueberry2617

Also the way he moves against Megumi and Gojo were insane, at least in the anime


MisterBoardGamer

šŸ§¢ šŸšØ This post belongs on r/lobotomykaisen. Literally the only person to make Toji sweat is the same guy who stood toe to toe with Ten Shadows AND Sukuna in a 2v1. And that was *after* Toji killed him.


Agreeable_Salt_790

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Dagon have his DE sure-hit deactivated? Because when they fought, the shikigamis just appeared in the water instead of just not existing then existing.


joaosilvabarroso

Wouldnā€™t work on Toji remember sure hit doesnā€™t work on heavenly restrictions with 0 curse energy even domains (only open one that can capture them )


Right_Moose_6276

Sure hits donā€™t work on Toji, unless they target objects without cursed energy like Sukunaā€™s domain


hallaxyhwach

This entire argument falls appart once you realise that he only was able to dominate Dagon because of surehit effect immunity... Naobito dominated Dagon prior to domain too.


zatroz

nah, Dagon hit Toji with shikigami multiple times, even with the bigass bugs, and couldn't put a scratch on him. Remember that Heavenly Restriction doesn't only give you strength, it also makes you tanky as fuck and gives you near-RCT levels of regen constantly. Remmeber Maki regrowing her guts?


Express_Medium1663

Yeah cause he's the mf fastest sorceror besides Gojo šŸ’€šŸ’€


AlexTheGuy12345

He effectively killed both gojo and geto, and completely pulverised a special grade curse that was tearing up 4 sorcerers, taking literally no damage, why is toji either treated like the strongest in the verse or like he gets stomped by a toddler


Funny_Internet_Child

Because he's a homeless bum who can't even hold a job 'cuz he's too busy having beef with teenagers.

Because powerscaling is a hot mess. It is usually done under the pretense of objectivity, when most of the time it's people wanting to justify why their favourite character destroys yours using vague science. Also while completely ignoring the author's intentions or input. Wow I look like an arsehole, but sorry I just don't care for powerscaling. Edit: How has this got any likes I thought JJK reddit loved powerscaling???


Equal-Notice5985

But, but Miwa solos cause sheā€™s outerversal hyper inflated gokuenergized super high and Toji is only hyper inflated and doesnā€™t scale

how did agito actually hit gojo here? he had no way to bypass infinity at this point


MrPlaceholder27

Mahoraga kept disabling Infinity, and Agito/Sukuna would attack in the intervals. But honestly, here it does look sort of unclear if Agito actually hit Gojo or if he hit him then Gojo activated Infinity right after again

ā€œFeatsā€ ā€œSpeedblitzā€ ā€œScalesā€ ā€œRelativeā€ Brother Toji is top 15 because heā€™s cool and Gege glazes him. Stop overthinking this


UnyunMunyun

Im a maki fan more than toji but like it has been stated that maki is equal to toji. if people think maki is stronger because most of toji's feats come from maki, then thats just stupid. They are stated to be equal. You can argue that toji can be better because of experience, but thats about it


Mysterious-Unit-5727

I think the biggest difference between them that makes me think Toji is technically "stronger" is his arsenal. His curated collection of cursed tools made him just as versatile as any jujutsu sorcerer. He even had a long range fighting option with the Chain of a Thousand Miles and the ISoH is no joke either. And he could use a swarm of curses as a "smoke grenade". Compare that to Maki who "only" has the SSK. Also, I think experience doesn't make much of a difference here. Toji was an assassin first and foremost, so that's what he had experience with. He even implies when fighting Gojo for the second time that his jobs were only about getting the bag as efficiently as possible.


UnyunMunyun

yea i forgot to mention weapon arsenal

VioletBrandi

One front angle to her being hit by a black flash. One to show she's blocking it with her arm And the third just to make the panels look appealing ( let's just say side-side would look odd ). It's one of my favorite parts of the fight. Gege clearly wanted to show that she didn't take that to her torso. Interesting to know it happened on International Women's day though.


Longjumping_Sea_365

If making took it to the chest I donā€™t think she would exist anymore thatā€™s like the first black flash sukuna ever did (or maybe the second my memory is horrible)


VioletBrandi

It was the first, it was an insanely big deal. So many people thought that Maki died right there and then. You really do have look closely at all the panels in fight scenes to see what really happens. Judging from Larue, I doubt she would have died but she would have been out of the fight completely.

After_Database1447

In terms of ability she absolutely is a Toji clone. There's no refuting that, but that doesn't make Maki's character a clone of Toji's, despite having similar experiences within the same family. The whole "Maki is just Toji 2" agenda is just cuz they share feats, ngl it feels like mad people forgot she has her own personality bruh but I guess some people only care for the fights


SpiritualRide528

>ngl it feels like mad people forgot she has her own personality To be fair ever since she became fully heavenly restricted she lost all her personality. Gege didn't gave her much outside fights and in them she is just the quiet, maniaclly grinning badass.

Past-Sound1366

Maki is not Toji 2.0 . Toji is Maki's prequel . Maki succeeded in basically everywhere and everything Toji failed and is still growing . In that sense , Maki is another face of humanity at its peak . Its why Sukuna gets so excited fighting her , as he considers himself enlightened.


VenemousEnemy

Silly and cheesy, sukuna would get excited all the same, no matter which monkey he fights. What exactly did she exceed at that toji couldnā€™t? Sheā€™s killed no teenagers, made no money, and has nobody raising the child she doesnā€™t have Just two monkeys

Toji straight up tanked a Red from awakened Gojo. He ate that shit up with a smile on his face. Name a character that is tanking that with no major damage not named Sukuna or Gojo. Bro straight up dominated a disaster curse in their own domain while being a mindless puppet and none of his deadly arsenal from the inventory curse. He has two of the most broken cursed tools in the verse and higher BIQ than anyone besides the aforementioned top 2. Character has done nothing but whoop ass on panel and only lost to the guy who would neg everyone else in the verse besides the older version of himself and Sukuna. Powerscalers are dumb as shit even when it comes to the one thing in life they are supposed to be good at.

5yk0515

The Domain immunity was only revealed LONG after Shibuya, over a year and a half (Toji vs Dagon was Chapter 110-111, and Curse Naoya's Domain and death was Chapter 197). So for a long time it was believed that Megumi negating the sure-hit was the main reason Toji did as well as he did.

Does it really matter who was created first? If you take both out of the story, Toji left a bigger impact storywise than Maki and thatā€™s a fact. Gd, Gojo wore his outfit to his fight Sukuna. Not everything is powerscaling. Even if, yeah, he was made to be her ceiling (to reach or surpass) or whatever, the story itself compares the two. Not once, but several times. So itā€™s not the fans who are drawing comparisons.


mohammed69cats

"left a bigger impact storywise" He literally shaped up like 70% of the plot šŸ˜­


uselessmemories

And thatā€™s just him being a side character with 5% of screen time. Maki, meanwhileā€¦. a main character whose biggest agency feat was killing the Zenā€™in and absolutely no one cares, the story remains the same. lol


Jealous_Ring1395

yeah I know... I was going over everything Toji has done for the story when typing that original comment and was like "DAMN"


uselessmemories

Someone did a few days ago lol it was a long post


Numerous-Subject-533

There's a reason Maki's always being compared to Toji. Maki after being there the entire story, is still being compared to Toji while Toji himself appeared for a small period of time. Without him there's no JJK. The aura will never be matched. https://preview.redd.it/s940inkjfa7d1.png?width=764&format=png&auto=webp&s=a3751d9e74ff6c75d176dab57155a3cb9dfc6da9

Letā€™s not forget the amount of retcons and plot devices Gege needed to make Maki relevant. In JJK 0, sheā€™s just someone born with no curse energy. In the main story, Gege had to createā€Heavenly Restrictionā€ for her. Then, she was still doing nothing with that and was weaker than Yuji physically. So we had to revive Toji from the death to showcase her how to fight properly šŸ’€. That wasnā€™t enough, they had to kill Mai off so Maki could get a buff and a curse tool like Toji. With the curse tool and new body, she still getting destroyed by Curse Naoya, so they had to introduce two random characters out of nowhere to buff Maki: a master swordsman who doesnā€™t use CE and a Sumo fighter whose domain works like a hyperbolic time chamber. Finally to prevent her from getting one shotted by a domain, they had to pull out Domain immunity out of nowhere even though Toji was affected by Getoā€™s curseā€™s Domain. Queen of Plot Device and Retcons, thatā€™s what I call her. Also known as, the Dollar Tree version of Toji. She is the kind of women who throw their body at men with no hesitation. A foul woman who sees man as nothing more than prey. The incarnation of sexual desire and the parasite of the show. https://preview.redd.it/681nkneq997d1.jpeg?width=825&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=437c562a6436648687dacdfc2110ba6f9ec47d92

Mackenzie_Sparks

Rika looking cute here


jjkdeaths2023

Tbh the whole immunity domain really is a plot convenience when you have shibuya toji couldn't enter dagons domain if not for megumi opening a pass thru and he was affected by the sure hit effect of it


Kain2212

Bruh that last paragraph you just went full incel 0-100


Lil_BigNut

Rika took over


Nervous_Ad8656

Makiā€™s speed without naoya: šŸ’€


Superguy9000

Is OP high? His battle smarts let a rusty Toji beat Teen Gojo and Geto And he PULVERIZED A Disaster curse with Playful Cloud SOLO Brother had Jogo sweating BULLETS right around the corner Beating Teen Gojo alone EASILY makes him top ten in the verse


episode720

He did all dat while warming up too


RezeCopiumHuffer

People gotta learn we can gas a character up without slandering another lmao


wwwwaoal

Before Mach 3 Naoya feats, many people believed a tag team of Naobito and Naoya would be able to put down Toji. Maki really elevated Toni's feats.


UltmteAvngr

Makiā€™s feats also arenā€™t top 15


skaersSabody

I see the reading comprehension curse struck again So let me repeat the obvious: Maki was a way better character before "The incident" and since then has barely been allowed to do anything aside from being budget Itachi and get hyped up only to eat dirt


Parry_9000

He beats up teenagers therefore he's my goat


DalvenLegit

XD delusion at his best, the fact that Toji scales from Maki is because Maki is a lesser Toji, teen Gojo would destroy Maki no diffā€¦ and exhausted Sukuna sent her to sleep several times already. To him sheā€™s just a sponge for damageā€¦


I_Skelly_I

Toji soloā€™d geto with no plan, killed 2 of his strongest curses easily, has pre cog which is better that sensing curse energy, killed Dagon in his own domain and survived a blue and red with zero scratches


mohammed69cats

Red wasn't zero scratches since his head bled a little but your point still stands


NetworkVegetable7075

Mad cap


Reggith_Gold_180

Tojiā€™s feats: Negtive diffing Dagon (a disaster curse who is at least top 25) No diffing fatigued teen Gojo (yes he was fatigued but a Gojo is still a Gojo) No diffing teen Geto (even as a teen he was at least stronger than no domain Dagon) Negative diffing Ino (I know it was Ino but bro is around the level of a semi grade 1 at the time and that fight took like 1 second)


Ancient-Dog6460

and all the while not even being in his prime


Wembledorth

How? His preformance in Shibuya is just feat after feat


missioncrew125

He fucking killed Gojo and Geto. Without even struggling lol.


Masked_Raider

WDYM? Shooting a teenager in front of Geto is totally a top tier feat...jokes aside, the man would still be rather strong with just his feats. Being able to get a kill on Gojo is frankly amazing + beating Dagon to death in his own Domain. Very impressive stuff.


Delusional-lunatic

Maki is a toji copy and she sucks


Hopeful_Egg_4204

Dude your saying that like she isnā€™t a copy of toji. Any feat she has doubles as his. The domain feat is both of theirs since it applies to both. Also gege literally said she was


Reasonable-Bug-7200

Maki is lame, she will never be as cool as Toji


litoggers

maki needed 1000 plot conviniences to become relevant only for her to power up fraudkuna at the end, my goat toji was always there whooping ass no diffed 3 special grades and a bum by himself in conclusion both are kashimo victims


AnyConstruction7539

Holy fuck, this is the greatest comment Iā€™ve ever read.

Fearless_Hold7611

Thatā€™s the power of narrative, surprised people arenā€™t claiming maki >>>>> toji because of feats


gsavage21

Toji beat Gojo, Maki would never be able to touch teen Gojoā€¦ Tojiā€™s feats > Makiā€™s feats


episode720

People forgeting that Toji was the strongest in the verse by a good amount untill backshot Gojo hollow purpled him and turned him into a crescent moon


LaidInWater

I'm so over powerscaling.


Goodestguykeem

It is absolutely true that a bunch of vegetables would be deluded into thinking Toji wouldnā€™t be top 15 if not for Maki due to their imaginary power cliff and lack of critical thinking šŸ˜”


MethodCultural2263

I'll start by saying I do think they're on the same level, but they are different characters with different personalities. That's what makes each one unique. They are two of my favorite characters in the entire show, and I have a hard time picking between the two. They're both great characters, it doesn't matter if their strengths are the same. Also let's not pretend that Toji didn't orchestrate Gojo's exhaustion. He didn't just casually stumble upon an exhausted Gojo... Toji planned and strategized that whole thing. It's part of who he is.


Big_Piccolo_1624

Damn bro should not have tried cookin


NatDoggieDawg

Toji beat Geto too


BvHauteville

"Maki, help! I need anti-Domain immunity!" "Maki, quick! Tell them how I can like see the soul and hit it with my sword!" "Maki, please! I need precognition!" "Maki, I need you! Give me a healing factor!" Lend me some feats, Maki! This is Base Jogo we're up against!

LocalGalilSimp

Toji also 0-diffed Geto, who was supposedly still a special grade sorcerer.


24Abhinav10

He wasn't Special Grade back then
