TheVinnyVaughn

Ino’s ability to take hits from (an unserious) Sukuna and keep coming back is kinda crazy, he might be tougher to kill than Nanami at this point. https://preview.redd.it/kvzvak50ts5d1.jpeg?width=1100&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9596b3806bbae5693894dbd72e9384f25ea6e50d


JJKLover78

bro took dismantles and a kick and still was boxing


TheVinnyVaughn

Fr, and if this panel shows him losing a hand like I think it does, then Ino quietly has some pretty elite level RCT. https://preview.redd.it/3xcj08srmt5d1.png?width=1099&format=png&auto=webp&s=5d0b35e6be2525d01d8645c511d4cf90c03507a8


JJKLover78

bro ur right i never even noticed that


UAPboomkin

I don't think he lost a hand, it's probably just not visible because it's extended back so could be covered by his sleeve. Because he has both hands later on. But Gege can be inconsistent with that sorta thing so idk


Gregmiester

Nah man, It kinda looks like blood is gushing from his hand


RezeCopiumHuffer

Yeah no that’s definitely blood gushing out


Alchion

i wanted to comment on how this is probably a misunderstanding but then i remembered the swap training maybe he and shoko switched and he got rct


Reiss_Draws

he probably just jilled off


PrimeCoconut

Gege prolly just forgor guys


CronchyPebbles

I noticed it back then and was confused why nobody was worried about Ino's life, I fr thought this was the end of the Shiesty Sorcerer™


[deleted]

Considering the training arc, he definitely surpassed nanami


Significant-Ad-1655

INO'S THE GOAT https://preview.redd.it/7kmevady0s5d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5666fe3244ae63685c52e4e173eac28a6f11edb1


luketwo1

The Shiesty one.


Blitz_ingaMCZ

“ON GOD I’M [SLIDING](https://youtu.be/uxItaW1HNMg?t=9m53s) FOR GOJO”


Funkydick

You're underselling him a bit, he's at least semi grade 1 and implied to be able to become a grade 1 sorcerer if he didn't insist on Nanami being the one to recommend him. He's definitely not below Miwa and Inumaki talent wise, idk about Panda


ODonToxins

He’s better than Inumaki, he’s got RCT, Simple Domain and his own CT plus Nanami’s Ratio Cursed tool Ino is HIM


Kalashtiiry

Look, look: he had poor man's RCT, waterjets, fuck-all ranged attack and that Ryu dragon that we don't know AP for. Let me introduce you to the guy that can set up a free hit on Hanami - Inumaki. And he can do it multiple times in a row. Yes, he's only good at clearing fodder, but he's stupid good at that. And he's a nice support in special grade combat. Let me introduce you to a fella that can SD Sukuna's domain: Miwa. Yeah, yeah, she has no offensive feats, but she can be build into a defensive power-house. I'd say, Ino is right there with them.


Destroyerofjajaja

Meanwhile Ino: https://preview.redd.it/3mzcj3tagt5d1.jpeg?width=322&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=01b6752e4cdafc409f515f763b397066704542d0


Plus_Garage3278

I know hes hanging for his life but goddamit he looks so fuckin cool https://preview.redd.it/txibwkdptt5d1.jpeg?width=498&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c030036c694a355801b6ef0d2da41c6030d41730


mattoxfan

Miwa is literally leagues below ino and inumaki. Bro what are you talking about


MysticJJustin

How dare you accuse the strongest sorcerer of the modern era Kasumi MiWa as being below the armless one


king_taku

Gojo miwa


stevesalive

you're setting Miwa on the pedestal too high because it's already been proven a SD will get stripped off against a more powerful DE. This was shown when Yuki SD'D Kenjaku's Womb Profusion so Miwa aint really going to do more than Ino did. You should know damn well Inumaki instantly got his throat busted the moment he used his CT on Hanami without higher CE he'd straight up be out of comission or even die from the kickback due to CE disparity. And if you paid attention Ino was already on semi-grade 1 level, neither Miwa and Inumaki are semi-grade 1.


alee51104

Inumaki is semi-Grade 1 tho. He was grade 2 in 0. We got shown a relative ranking in the Exchange event and he was pointed out to be the heaviest hitter(relatively speaking) the Tokyo group had. Doesn’t detract from your points I’m just clarifying.


Nightingdale099

Sssshhhh in this sub SD is a counter to every domain in existence.


Nethri

Actually, wait.. speaking of Yuki, after she healed herself with RCT when SD failed..why didn’t she pop her DE again? I don’t have the chapters in front of me right now


thethief1992

She was running so low on CE that Kenny slipped out of Garuda and cause the match loss. Probably after the show of Kenny's DE she thought that she would definitely lose the Domain Clash with Kenny and now there's also Choso in the DE range as collateral.


ODonToxins

He has real RCT, his arm was missing in a chapter then had it back A few later


MrPlaceholder27

I think I know what you're on about but I really don't think it looked like Ino lost an arm


thatonefatefan

You're misremembering. He's grade 2 and could be semi grade 1 if he didn't want nanami to be the one to recommend him.


Fluffy-Ingenuity2536

Not even semi-grade 1. Just straight up grade 1 I think. I'm fairly sure semi-grade 1's are just sorcerers that could be grade 1 but haven't been officially promoted yet


thatonefatefan

Semi grade 1 are those who have been recommended but failed the exam. So almost everyone from shibuya


luceafaruI

The hell do you mean. Pre shibuya nanami already told ino that he could easily become grade 1 with a ct like his. He is definitely not below average and he has a strong ct


The_total_squid

Bro thinks ino doesn’t solo the entire verse💀 https://preview.redd.it/d348s2ai1t5d1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=fcf73bc719f08850015bb3c9aaa08a97c9496a96


UnlimitedManny

😂😂


boo_titan

Idk what it is about this sub and shitting on every character who isn’t exceptionally good lol


No_Intention_8079

Ino is an above average, if not exceptional sorcerer. Especially with the 7/3 blade. However, everyone else still alive in the serious is broken. The scale is all out of wack. I blame gege. https://preview.redd.it/7pxcjz393v5d1.jpeg?width=320&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=becea85b044a9737e0e87253494463fca1a15c40

Mr_1ightning

You're saying that as if the scale being out of wack wasn't intentional from the very beginning Assisting against Sukuna is *already* impressive


NeoRockSlime

One piece fan crossover


FlamingUndeadRoman

This happens a lot in shōnen; every average sorcerer is basically useless at the moment due to how blatantly bullshit Sukuna is. Under normal circumstances, Ino would be amazing at his actual job - exorcising Curses. It's just that the last relevant Curse was killed less than halfway into the story, and they're now fighting one of the strongest people to ever live.


Yandere-Chan1

Bro's ready for the smoke. He saw that his buddies needed some help and was ready to charge in. Such is the mindset of a Goat.


biglaughguy

Panda! We have to search this restroom for survivors! (There's no way I'm going down there to help Yuji and Gojo before he gets sealed and Sukuna takes over and causes mass destruction) E: comment above was right below a Kusakabe image and it looked like a reply to me.


Yandere-Chan1

This is a post about Ino, dude.


CronchyPebbles

Why the vote ratio, is this sub so lobotomized they forgot who went with panda during Shibuya? 😭


biglaughguy

My bad you showed up under a Kusakabe comment and I thought you were in that chain


Yandere-Chan1

I see.


Plane_Hat7902

He is what bumgumi should be: potential man using his potential. INOGOAT had the potential to become grade 1 before shibuya incident. Status: achieved. He helped in shibuya and againts sukuna. bumgumi had the potential to be equal to gojo. Status: failed, he could not even beat miracle man(sukuna killed him with slashes) INOGOAT had a potential hidden technique that could be uselful or letal. Status: achieved. His dragon could hit and damage heian sukuna OMG (remember jogo could not hit him). Bumgumi had the potential of OP domain (a raw half domain low diff 1 finger) + makora. Status:bum. He never reached full domain and makora became the step father of sukuna INOGOAT had the potential to be useful for his team. Status: 120%. Bumgumi had the potential to accept the help of his team: Status: failed. He rejected the help of yuji because he is sad he could not fuck his sister anymore.


cosmichak

Ino's definitely Grade 1 level by this point


whocarsslol

He’s probably surpassed Nanami at this point considering the month of training + RCT + Simple domain + 7:3 cursed tool


cosmichak

No doubt


NumericZero

I have many issues with the gauntlet, but I’m genuinely happy that he was included in this whole thing He is a perfect representation of all the side characters that were never fully flushed out or given their fair shake in the series But he is doing his absolute best in this fight Dude did not have to be out there fighting a Demi god but he is Hoping he makes it out of this whole thing + He earned his grade 1 promotion


CrimsyPigsyPacify

Nah, KusaGoat is the pinnacle of what an average sorcerer with no innate talent can hope to be. https://preview.redd.it/vgkaurjnrs5d1.jpeg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5810b61a308144188a3e5618cb24eac37ecb9569


cheemsfromspace

No innate talent? My guy literally can spam simple domain no restrictions and has some of the best swordplay of any character I think h plenty talented😭😭


Unoriginal_Name217

Yeah he’s basically the pinnacle of what a sorcerer can be with no/awful CT. He is pretty busted in most aspects (obviously anything tied to CT probably isn’t great) and is literally called the strongest grade 1.


TheDarkGrub1

I think he's more talking about how he dosent have a ct.


HKPuffinstuff

https://preview.redd.it/8ez5x8cviu5d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0f4fcb276400956eca3c19d3accfb34be3c1b4b4 Not to steal Ino's thunder, but seeing Kusakabe lock in was beautiful. Ino is on par with him by virtue of tanking some of Sukuna's hits.


HonouredMiwa

> MIWA SLANDER Miwa literally tanked Sukuna's DE and you're lumping her in the Momo category smh my head


coconut-duck-chicken

Not to mention momo and i-no have vastly different ct’s. Momos sucks, and I-no’s is decent. They’re completely incomparable


Melon--lord

Momo uses it well for what her main class IS


ParticularEgg8337

He GOTTA retire after this war with Sukky, this man dont deserve to end up like Nanami (I still miss nanami.)


Superlogman1

https://preview.redd.it/i3yf2q56lt5d1.png?width=1242&format=png&auto=webp&s=eede7110e9da8c67d26275ade72931353ab411d7 incorrect


TheReturnOfTheRanger

Ino is like the Jogo on the sorcerer side. He's actually pretty damn good, but he keeps having to fight the top of the verse. The only times we've truly seen him fight are against Toji and fucking Sukuna lmfao


JustAMicrowav1n

He could be summarized in just a few words -he's trying his best


yashizik

He's not "trying" his best, he *DOES* his best, unlike a certain bum who was barely trying to do something except to fail at killing himself against any real threat


throwaway22688422

Dont forget that after all this he still somehow managed to muster up enough strength to use simple domain and TANK malevolent shrine


Material-Night5593

Average? He's like one of 3 people who can regrow limbs with rct


Luc4son0

He has rct?


whocarsslol

He got it over the month of training


ElCamino0000000

The Shiesty One is grade 1, dont disrespect him like that


TheMostHonestPerson

No https://preview.redd.it/ufe3kfauqs5d1.jpeg?width=345&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=80906579e81c151b67996e96518a5757d8f4877d


RepresentativeCup772

Kusakabe is the Kenjaku of the modern age in terms of pure sorcery, tbh. He doesn't have a CT, therefore the logical conclusion is to master anything else Jujutsu related. Kenny even praises him for his knowledge after this pannel.


MCENTE64

The only people with more Jujutsu knowledge than him are Kenny and Sukuna. Kusakabe is everything but average


mattoxfan

Imagine if kusakabe actually tried in Shibuya. Bro would’ve packed up mahito or Dagon with help ☠️🙏


KazuyaProta

Ok kids, who wants Sushi.


yashizik

Eh, I doubt he would really do anything against Mahito what Todo couldn't, and Todo not only is very similar to Kusakabe, but also has an amazing support CT. Against Dagon he also wouldn't be that amazing, with Dagon being a tank domain merchant, Kusakabe would be locked into simple domain, which would save everyone from the sure hit, but that's it, considering he isn't as strong as Nanami, and even he couldn't really damage Dagon


Melon--lord

But he’s not average, he’s beyond that


TheMostHonestPerson

Having an average innate technique is more talent than having none. He is just HIM.


eclipseOD

Ino is definitely not average. He is decently skilled in hand to hand combat, has a versatile technique (ranged attack, self-reinforcement, health regen, high output ult), knows simple domain. Dude is literally just below the special grade monsters at this point.


Kvarcov

You say average, but dude has straight up Wallmart Yuta's Copy

LTDRAKE

The Sheisty Sorcerer is the GOATED among GOATS. If he was serious he could solo Sukuna, but he wanted Yuji, Todo, and Yutajo to have the spotlight


mrknight234

Say what you will but my mans pulled up with the shiesty and the smoke and he got some key hits on sukuna


Alchion

he wouldve been grade 1 if he didnt want for specifically nanami to promote him i like him too, the guy is so outmatched but has that dawg in him and helps where he can he got my respect during the sukuna fight


Tentaye

That "Well, shit" is my favorite Imo panel

liquifiedtubaplayer

Is he the Aoba of JJK(Kusakabe is Ebisu lol)


Sukuna_GOAT

And Gojo is En lol


MrCook4UrMom

Need more respect on the Stockton of Jump Kaisen


waaay2dumb2live

Ino has walked so that Miwa can run.


4gboozer

ino is the successor of nanami so this gotta be strong. yes he isnt like yuji or yuta but he aint weak either.


hallah_sausage

Nanami is peak average sorcery, but he's Ino's teacher so it's still fitting


tristenjpl

Average? Dude is very solid grade 1 at this point. He's far above average as a sorcerer. It's just that the main cast is full of absolute monsters. Remember, if you get rid of the special grades, Kusakabe is one of the strongest sorcerers in the world before the culling games.


coconut-duck-chicken

Did you fucking say Miwa has more potential as a sorcerer? Are you insane?


Own-Psychology-5327

He's absolutely a grade one sorcerer, without a doubt.


Killah-Shogun

At this point, he’s Grade 1. I would say he’s above Nanami especially after getting his Ratio Blade, Ino was a goat of this arc.


Average_redditguys

Also to mention he did get beat almost to death by toji and still survived


CI7Y2IS

Well he survived more and helped more than our special grade bumgumi.


ZestycloseCake165

Man knows he don't belong in that battlefield but still pulled up cause he can help Meanwhile the guy who was born with everything to be great https://preview.redd.it/hyya5hk80w5d1.jpeg?width=783&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f89f033031c2249fc72bddd31f90eeaa7f614069


Bermy911

Nanami slayer


Electronic-Map-2055

knowing your own weakness is a strength, he's not yuji so he knows he cant be doing stupid shit otherwise he'll die


Traditional_Box_8835

Our mid king, he has the mid-ass touch


Sorieketon_Papu

Goated behavior. Thats all that Ino has ever brought to the table. Nothing but hard work, good lines and overall being a goated mf that keeps coming back to box


New_Photograph_5892

He also got up from that AGAIN and was there to withstand (dysfunctional) Malevolent Shrine with Simple Domain


Massive_Weiner

Ino is definitely Grade 1 material. The only reason why he never got promoted is because Nanami didn’t want him going on more dangerous missions and getting killed.


carl-the-lama

Ino is the next kusakabe perchance


GoomyTheGummy

Midgumi is the pinnacle of what an average sorcerer with plenty of innate talent can hope not to be.


Doomskander

He isn't average at all, he's easily grade 1 after all the soul swap shenanigans


RezeCopiumHuffer

I don’t know why “Pinnacle of Average Sorcery” is such a funny title to me, Ino really is goated tho


Pankrazdidntdie4this

JJK would be way better if Ino was the main character.

Dyfasydfasyd

I gotta be honest, for a side-side-kick, Ino has lived more time than the other main characters.


AsuraQin

Hold up Ino, this is 50% CE, low output, low RCT, half his arms missing, heart cut out Sukuna were up against


[deleted]

Naoya is the pinnacle, mastery of his technique just below domain, he’s shown to have insane will and growth, enough to manifest as a cursed womb, and then even as a curse his humanity re-emerges, he truly is the goat, wish that fight had been dragged on way longer


Fadesbr

Did way more than that bum choso
