Ranking Grade One Sorcerers

[@Professor_Fiction]

A few things I didn’t mention: Yes, I’m aware Kamo fought Curse Naoya alongside Maki. I didn’t consider these feats worth mentioning for a few reasons, but generally I think earnestly scaling Kamo to Curse Naoya is a little weird. We do know Naoya’s speed in his second stage fluctuates as he’s capable of amplifying his speed with acceleration. We also know he’s not always using projection sorcery, an ability which gets faster after continuous uses. That combined with the fact Naoya’s initial base speed was enough that Kamo couldn’t even see him move, makes me confident most examples of Kamo reacting are due to Naoya not being serious as he’s prone to do(Yuji and Choso), so I don’t think it’s fair to say he has reactions above Shibuya Yuji’s I forgot to include Ranta and Chojuro, the two members of the Hei that fought alongside Jinichi. These two would likely be above Toge and Kamo and below Jinichi, for pretty obvious reasons. Maki is seen as total garbage by the clan, and the Hei are the most powerful sorcerers of the clan. Those saying the Kusakabe statement doesn’t include Naobito and Naoya, I’m well aware. I had kinda skimmed over that fact because it was unnecessarily confusing. I wanted to have an explanation that would be acceptable for the anime onlies without having to get into the manga spoilers that Kusakabe had gotten stronger. By just saying Kusakabe is stated the strongest, which is partially true but also true due to feats, I could kinda sideswipe that tangent. During the Shibuya Incident I would agree Naobito and probably Naoya are superior to Kusakabe, if only slightly seeing as his Simple Domain is kinda a really good ability for dealing with them, but Kusakabe’s current feats are well above that. Him being comparable to base Yuta, even if you said he was only around Maki when she first faced the Hei, that would be enough to take down Naobito Me saying “apparently” wasn’t dismissing Mahito, Yuji and Megumi having Gojo level potential. The joke is that all the characters said to have that potential never end up getting there

[@mustafaazmi7106]

Agree with this. And also since simple domain severely weaken (might negate) curse technique. I'll say Kusakabe will win in most fight again those Zenins. If they can move so fast second only to Gojo so what? You step to Kusakabe's SD and you'd get cooked. Even Nanami said only Gojo who can handle the garage of slashes by Kusakabe's Domain.

[@ivanorbu8677]

Great video. There is only one thing I heavily disagree on: mei mei being higher than nanami. Nanami fought mahito and survived, fought dagon and entered in his domain and survived with some damage, after that he takes an attack from jogo (the strongest curse at that time).and survives; and after ALL OF THAT fights with many soul-manipolated humans. Mei mei fights with a nameless curse with a weak domain and , with the hel of her brother ui-ui who can use SIMPLE DOMAIN, survives. Nanami is obviously a bit stronger

[@Professor_Fiction]

At the time they fought Mahito was fairly weak, and Nanami only lived due to Yuji interrupting the Domain. Dagon would’ve destroy Nanami within the domain had it not been for Megumi, and he couldn’t even hurt base Dagon without Naobito’s help. Mei Mei’s mainly ranked so high because the Special Grade she should scale strongly to Yuji during the events of Shibuya, whereas Nanami is less clear

[@RealMonzer]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@Professor_Fiction For all we know, the special grade curse was only special grade because of its hax ability. The grasshopper curse was only as strong as a semi grade 1, so defeating something vaguely above that (with help) isn’t too impressive. Nanami has a statement putting him >=Yuji at that time which is more clear cut imo.

[@cro0511]

good video I disagree in many positions but there are not enough to compare grade ones with each other, so it's more instinct I guess? I mean, I would consider Mei Mei and Hanami above Todo, since they were really the only ones that were discussed when comparing themselves to Kusakabe, Mei Mei even said that in terms of brute force, she and Nanami are better. Then there is the issue that Gojo said that if the big clans come into the equation, Kusakabe may no longer be the strongest, so Naobito could perfectly be ranked one.

[@eliasmuraski1719]

Something I’d be interested in seeing is Ino’s ranking. He was about to be promoted to Grade 1 before Shibuya if I’m not mistaken and he’s lasted exceptionally long against a weakened Sukuna. Yes he’d be really hard to scale given fatigued Sukuna and whatnot but Ino should place decently high on the list as of current

[@PiggTheKidd]

Thank you finally someone brought up Inumaki being on a different level to the Tokyo squad, also Ive been reading the manga lately and it's different, but at least in the anime Inumaki blatantly speed blitzes Todo so do with that as you will

[@farsous10]

Inumaki is not close to todo physically, has a very handy ct tho. But useless when sorcerers see him coming since it’s so easy to defend against, and if he uses it against significantly stronger opponents then they don’t even have to defend against it cuz it wouldn’t work

[@PiggTheKidd]

@@farsous10 well in the anime he intercepted Todo charging towards megumi then grabbed his collar let it down then told Todo to not move before Todo could react a pretty blatant speed blitz but ONLY in the anime so yeah not sure how people feel about thay

[@log5531]

​@@PiggTheKiddYeah no. Look at the difference in how they performed against Hanami. Todo was fooling around with Megumi, Inumaki is not blitzing him.

[@djt3332]

so here is the thing with the mei mei, nanami and todo argument's it's that they all scale physical to a shibuya yuji, nanami directly with his AP and todo with mahito fight and mei mei is adjacently scaled to yuji. so then we go to dagon scaling which I think people miss use in that the statement nanami say's doesn't imply his ratio technic is doing nothing but more that dagon has a great supply of curse energy to the point his regen make's it seem he has infinite HP. however I think the most helpful thing that dagon fight show is that nanami is kind of a tank has he take's dagon's domain and a "kill" shot from jogo and gose on to fight some week curse. which arguable the most impressive durability feat in shibuya has while chose dose a number on yuji that's heeled because of sukuna. but speaking of sukuna I think that is the best way to scale mei mei and uei uei has we clearly see that her crow's are reacted to by sukuna however they are avoid and not tanked which implies that would do something to him which kind of make scenes depending on how you scale sukuna (ever he is relatively constant through out the series or his finger provide relative boost's which there is no evidence to support). however this help scale nabito to be relative current cast in speed AP is a little fishy

I love that every time Gojo says potential level, the lol comes out

[@PetrolHeadWolfComments]

Yaga is said to have the potential for a special grade. He was supposed to be executed the first time he made an autonomous cursed doll. They only kept him at Grade 1 because he lied saying creating Panda was a fluke. Having him that low is a travesty.

[@Professor_Fiction]

The reason he was a potential special grade was because he could ‘theoretically’ make an army of cursed corpses like panda, which would in turn allow him to overthrow a nation. It’s prep based if anything

[@PetrolHeadWolfComments]

@@Professor_Fiction Yes, it's prep-based. And It's far from theory, he has made more than a few autonomous cursed dolls. He kept his other creations a secret within a forest protected by Tengen and only stopped because of what might happen. And he created another one as a favor for Kusakabe. So, his ability to create an army is a given and more than just a theory. If you're docking him points for needing prep time, that's understandable but that means you have to do the same for Mechamaru and the Special Grade Suguru Geto in your rankings. They both need prep time and in Geto's case, access to resources (curses) to create their army. Even Mahito was almost useless after he ran out of transfigured humans when he was fighting against Yuji

[@goofyicerink9560]

@@Professor_Fiction geto was given special grade for the exact same reason (that he could potentially amass an entire army, in which he did)

[@Professor_Fiction]

There’s kind of a difference with those characters in the sense that the prep they did had a tangible, measurable result. We really don’t know what a max potential Yaga looks like at all, whereas Mechamaru had an actual fight

[@RealMonzer]

I think Mei Mei and Mechamaru are a little too high. The grasshopper curse wasn’t really comparable to Yuji, and the smallpox curse is featless. Special grade is a large range. Megumi could beat a special grade finger bearer when his best scaling at that point was fighting the semi grade 1 Kamo. The first finger bearer (also a special grade) was much weaker than this one. So her best scaling is killing some curses that are vaguely above someone who Yuji could already low diff. Taking this into account, Mei Mei seems kinda featless and I don’t think you can put her above Yuji. Mechamaru seemingly does well vs Mahito, but at the end of the fight Mahito says that it wasn’t close at all and he was just sandbagging. Combine this with the fact that his stamina is very limited and he doesn’t seem too impressive. Nanami I think is a bit underrated. Naobito’s punch did more visible damage, but Dagon had already been hit many times at that point, and Nanami’s attack was able to send Dagon flying, which most of Naobito’s attacks did not do. Nanami also took significantly less damage than Naobito (given he was hit by an attack of less than half the strength), and he went on to survive an attack from Jogo and keep fighting. He also scales to a Yuji who should be stronger than his goodwill self. Being able to harm full power Hanami is more impressive imo than killing the smallpox deity or hurting a sandbagging Mahito.

[@oddbulbsaur935]

With mechamaru I interpreted it as mahito bullshitting because geto was there. Those soul blasts looked like they HURT.

[@Nathan24634]

One reason why I think mechamaru is fine where he is if not a tad low is sure the fight was "easy" for mahito which I doubt but mahito has one of the most difficult cursed techniques to get around and a broken domain so mechamaru was on the back foot the entire time purely from a kit perspective I honestly think that he would only potentially lose to noaya due to not being able to hit him but if he lands a single one year charge or god forbid a 5 year charge noaya loses immediately

[@cdcd4264]

I would say kamo should be above inumaki at least only because of his feats against naoya naoya should be demonstrably above hanami as toji dog walked Dagon who should be relative to hanami and kamo was able to still react to naoya

[@Professor_Fiction]

Kamo’s reactions against Naoya were very weird seeing as he blatantly couldn’t see Naoya during much of the encounter. His attack potency against the higher tiers is also in contention still, so I wanted to rank him a bit more consistently

I know I was mainly using the statement in tandem with the feats on display. I figure mentioning it was excluding the big 3 would just add confusion

[@lynnusuk2092]

I think Nanami hits way harder since in the “Kusakabe is the strongest grade 1” flashback Nanami admitted that in striking power Kusakabe is below him and MeiMei. This either implies MeiMei’s ce reinforced normal axe strikes are on par with a ratio ce reinforced strike (which I think is unlikely, considering Kenjaku didn’t even praise MeiMei’s axe skills), or bird strike is relative to a full ratio hit from Nanami (which I think is the more likely interpretation since Sukuna did “praise” both, by internally thinking about it with ratio and actively blocking bird strike).

[@Professor_Fiction]

To be fair it wouldn’t change Nanami’s ranking seeing as Mei Mei would just be all around better and Namami’s actual speed scaling is not great

[@log5531]

Nanami has a direct statement comparing his striking power to early Shibuya yuji. I imagine his ratio hits are stronger than Mei meis normal strikes but bird strike should be stronger. Narratively bird strike is described as a one shot move and even sukuna chose to dodge instead of defend, it should be stronger than anything Nanami can do.

There’s also the fact that while Kusikabe was being gased up that chapter, they immediately walk it back a bit the next chapter Mei Mei say’s physically she and Nanami are stronger than him. Nanami says it’s not that he sees Kusikabe winning all his fights, it’s just hard to imagine him losing. Cause Kusikabe famously keeps himself out of situations he’d be outclassed in, which is solid intuition on his part. Personally I keep Naobito as the strongest (official) grade 1 but Kusikabe is a strong runner up.

Why does everyone forget that kusakabe was training for the month I definitely think that the slashes sukuna used on kusakabe are faster than naobito and kusakabe could block and defend them. Also it's implied by nanami that no one can dodge his simple domain slashes so I doubt naobito could

[@youfirst6611]

@@godspeed6980 The only thing Sukuna brings up is that everyone’s defense has increased over the 1 month timeskip. Now that’s not to say that they’re not stronger in other categories but that’s the biggest observation he made. And we’ve seen programmable simple domains before. Miwa used it on preawakened Maki. They basically turn their bodies into the avenue for auto defense when something crosses into their new shadow style radius. This allows them to move beyond their normal speed. But as we’ve seen even Kusikabe was having a hard time keeping up with Sukuna’s slashes after he stopped using his hands. He was toying with him. This it further showcased after we learned when Choso renters the fight that Sukuna can move faster than his slashes that makes it even more apparent how outclassed Kusikabe was.

Kusikabes biggest statements come from other people(Gojo,Mei Mei,Nanami, and Ino) aside from the later the other 3 flat out give reasonings that show that’s it’s more nuanced than simply “Kusikabe is just stronger than all other grade 1’s”.

This was a good list, but there's three things I want to change. First of all, Nanami is stronger than Mei Mei. He fought Mahito, an unregistered Special-Grade and one of the strongest Disaster Curses, and equaled him (albeit that Mahito didn't have DE and was significantly weaker than his Shibuya-self, equaling a Disaster Curse no matter what time period you do it in is impressive). Furthermore, he survived an attack from Jogo that NAOBITO (someone who lost an arm and was fine afterwards) couldn't. Mei Mei, with help, struggled to defeat the Smallpox Deity, a cursed spirit that isn't even on the same level as the Mahito that Nanami fought and equaled with minimal injuries. Also, Naoya should be significantly lower. In fact, lower than Absolute Mode: Mechamaru (at least in his human form, not as a Vengeful Cursed Spirit). Mechamaru in this mech was able to HURT Mahito who was likely equal to Mahito from the Shibuya Arc, and actually survived his Domain Expansion. He was also stated by Kenjaku to have "special grade levels of cursed energy output" which is INSANE. Todo should also be above Naobito. Todo was able to single handedly parry and counter all of Mahito's moves, even knocking him around and getting the upper hand (a Shibuya Arc Mahito). He also countered Mahito's Domain Expansion easily, countered Idle Transfiguration by cutting off his arm, and tanked a Black Flash from Mahito. He also went on to further beat up a Mahito that was 120% of his true potential AND got enhanced by a Black Flash amp afterwards with one hand and severe injuries. He also was beating up Hanami & forced her to use Domain Expansion alongside Goodwill Event Arc Yuji. Furthermore, he's currently fighting True Form Sukuna & is doing well against him alongside Yuji. Naobito was getting beat up by DE Dagon. Here's my top five list of the strongest Grade One Sorcerers: #5 - Nanami (* equaled an earlier Mahito, survived Jogo's flaming attack, killed countless cursed spirits with half of his body completely eviscerated) #4 - Absolute Mode: Mechamaru (* hurt Mahito with his cursed energy blasts, had special grade levels of cursed energy output, survived Mahito's Domain Expansion) #3 - Naobito (* dominated Dagon pre - Domain Expansion, was the only person out of Nanami, Maki, and himself to counter Dagon's shikigami via Falling Blossom Emotion, is stated to be the fastest sorcerer outside of Satoru Gojo, knocked Dagon down despite not having an arm in his Domain Expansion) #2 - Kusakabe (* was able to tank a Maximum: Uzumaki by Kenjaku which had Mahito inside of it, got praised by Sukuna and was fighting Sukuna hand-to-hand. Blocked all of Sukuna's slashes and was able to even surprise and kind of hurt Sukuna by himself. Was stated to be the strongest Grade One Sorcerer by multiple people, such as Nanami, Mei Mei, and even Gojo himself who thought that the title was obvious [although it was because he was "kind."]) #1 - Todo (* was beating up Hanami with Yuji, forcing her to use Domain Expansion [with Hanami having the highest level of durability out of the Disaster Curses]. He was beating up a 120% potential + Black Flash-amped Mahito with one arm and having just tanked a Black Flash from that same Mahito. Parried, countered, and got the upper hand against Mahito countless times in the battle. Currently, he's fighting True Form Sukuna [albeit weakened] alongside Awakened Yuji, showing relativity to that same Yuji [with that Yuji capable of beating up True Form Sukuna by himself] and punishing even Sukuna himself)

[@Blackmustache870]

I disagree with todo. Both mahito and sukuna acknowledge that tge main issue with todo is his boogie woogie. Not only would boogie woogie be tougher to use in a 1v1 setting, but naoya and naobitos projection sorcery present a severe disadvantage to todous boogie woogie.

[@starslight-x3o]

@@Blackmustache870 Mahito's statements are that "Boogie Woogie is disorienting, even if you know about it." Plus, while it is harder to use in a 1v1 setting, he still can infuse other inanimate objects with cursed energy and use those as what he switches with. Plus, Todo was HURTING Hanami (the most durable unregistered special grade cursed spirit), and that alone would allow him to beat Naoya. Naobito is more difficult, but Todo is relative to Yuji currently (who isn't really Awakened anymore, but still extremely powerful), and that would put him above these two easily. Plus, Projection Sorcery is actually an advantage to Boogie Woogie, as Todo can switch places with them right as they use Projection Sorcery & is about to attack him, leading them to miss and allowing Todo to have a perfect counter strike.

[@Blackmustache870]

@shubhangshekhar6041 people need to stop overrating landing a hit. This isn't dragon ball where people display power by catching punches or kicks with their face. In actual fighting, a person's power doesnt correlate to their durability. Otherwise u wouldn't be able to hurt urself, but u can. So sukuna being damaged by todo while in a 1v2 with yuji doesn't mean todos on the same lvl as yuji. In addition, hanami being durable has never once been stated as a seemingly unreachable lvl of durable. She/he was just extremely durable COMPARED TO JOGO, wouldve died if he took yujis black flashes. Yes, even if they know about it, but my main point was that naoya and naobito would also have a COUNTER to boogie woogie, in that the sheer speed they move at exceed maki and nanamis reaction and perception speed. And that's only the initial speed. That speed can be stacked upon as well. If go based on that, a close combat battle would make it very hard for todo to clap his hands before naoya or naobito can attack. Naoya was extremely destructive in his first fight with maki too. U can't just pass him off as not being a problem for todo. Taking tge time to infuse ce into something and throwing would be even harder than clapping his hands.

[@starslight-x3o]

@@Blackmustache870 he was relative in speed and power to yuji so yes he is somewhat relative. and for the second point, compared to jogo is also insane since jogo tanked red with no significant damage afterwards. and for the second point... gain distance via boogie woogie and then throw the object infused with cursed energy

[@Blackmustache870]

@@starslight-x3o @shubhangshekhar6041 he wasn't relative in speed with yuji. Both were just in near sukuna, so they both landed hits. That's all. And he wasn't relative in power. They both just landed hits in a 2v1. All red does is push. The only time we've seen red kill from a distance was against a fodder curse in jjk 0, and even then, gege wasn't even aware of the lore for the rest of the series at that time. How's he going to gain distance if they're faster than him?

Naobito > kusakabe since hes the strongest in the big 3 families which when being factored in gojo said would mean kusakabe no longer the strongest grade 1

[@alfalldoot6715]

No way, Gojo said that "maybe" it would change if the three families were factored in. Naobito might be faster than Kusakabe but all Kusakabe had to do is use simple domain once and he wins.

[@itapproaches3484]

People are forgetting to factor on the fact that Kusakabe got way stronger after the time skip, yes he's fighting heavily suppress/weakened Sukuna, but either way, suppressed Sukuna is still stronger than any grade 1 by a massive margin and he's able to parry a bunch of dismantles

[@nugget6820]

Imo naobito and naoya are above kusakabe Gojo states kusakabe is the strongest besides the big 3 families,mei mei compares him to early shibuya yuji,and he blatantly admits massive inferiority to jogo twice and the disaster curses in general once. His feats against sukuna are good,but sukuna is so weakened,and is pretty casual,the moment he takes it seriously,he completely ahhnilates kusakabe.To put into perspective how weakened sukuna is,his 4th black flash dealt less damage to choso than a casual jab in the beginning of the fight. Naoya and naobito should be able to keep up with toji tier fighters as well.Naoya fights 1st awakened maki,who's stated physically equal to toji by narrator and herself,the only thing she gained in her 2nd awakening is her enhanced senses And 1 armed naobito blatantly keeps up with toji against dagon,tag teaming him to make sure toji got the final hit in

[@godspeed6980]

Kusakabe got stronger We don't know if his current black flashes are weaker than a jab when choso blocked the blackflash with blood but he didn't for the jab 1 armed naobito didn't keep up with toji, he just keeps up with toji polevaulting himself that's literally it. If that was the case then jogo is faster than toji lol when he blatantly isnt

⁠​⁠@@amogus1415 Sukuna specifically mentions that Choso blocked the black flash, whereas the casual jab he was visibly surprised and off guard. There’s not much to imply that Sukuna has gotten that much weaker, especially when he’s landing black flashes that should be increasing his strength. He’s also still able to body the heavy hitters just as well as he was at the start of the fight. Sukuna also specifically comments that all of the people fighting him have gotten stronger and have very good defenses.

[@RealMonzer]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@amogus1415 Perception blitzing someone and hitting them from behind is absolutely hitting them off guard. This is a big difference compared to hitting someone from the front while they are blocking. Also, take it from Sukuna himself. He does not think “I’m so much weaker now that my black flash sucks”, he thinks “Choso used his ability to block the attack”. All of the nerfs you mentioned are unquantifiable and you seem to be forgetting that Sukuna is landing black flashes and recently got his domain expansion back. In a recent chapter Maki even says that his slashes are getting stronger. Not vaporizing Maki is not relevant as he did not fight Maki at the time where you claim he should be stronger. However, he did fight Yuji at that point, and he’s fighting a much stronger Yuji right now than he was back then. Yuta already beat Ryu, and Sukuna said his durability isn’t higher than Ryu, not that he’s weaker than him. Yuta’s performance vs Kenjaku was also much better than how he would’ve done in the previous arc by his own admission. Mei Mei isn’t part of the group fighting Sukuna. Ino was already strong enough to be semi grade 1 before the training. Kusakabe can be a grade 1 while also being above Naobito. The fact that his defenses are high enough to survive these attacks from Sukuna absolutely matters in a 1v1, especially when Naobito is only vaguely above someone who got easily killed by a wounded Maki, who’s way weaker than the current Maki.

[@МаксимМихеев-ю2ь]

Todo hard counters projection sorcerers with his technique. Kusakabe is strongest grade 1 not including sorcerers from 3 great clans. Naobito and Junichi are above him. Naoya may loose because he is too arrogant and doesn't have the same mastery over ct as his father.

[@Professor_Fiction]

I tried to ignore blatant matchup based dubs like that. I also think it’s plausible Naobito might be strong enough combined with his speed it wouldn’t matter so much. The 3 clans statement is pre timeskip, and pre Shibuya entirely. Kusakabe has likely gotten stronger since then shown through the feats. I’d say before Kusakabe versus Naobito is a good debate, I originally intended to put Naobito at 1, but Kusakabe’s new feats are more impressive

[@МаксимМихеев-ю2ь]

@@Professor_Fiction Kusakabe didn't become stronger, his defence became tougher. Naobito only needs one touch and Kusakabe becomes a frozen punching bag.
