Genuinely thinking here: Could they have actually beat Sukuna with Higuruma if Kenjaku was already dealt with during/before the Kashimo fight or Gojo fight(so Yuta, Todo, and Takaba are available)? Totally not just me wanting the GOAT Choso to live.
Like if they had a completely different plan(since Kenjaku would be dealt with). Maybe Higuruma comes in and gets the sword, then passes it to Yuta who uses his domain with Todo and Yuji in it with him. Even Sukuna admits that he can’t track boogie Woogie, so with more targets and only one hit required, they could probably pull it off easily and without casualties. We could go further and toss in Inumaki’s recording(or just have Yuta use cursed speech since Sukuna didn’t defend against it originally) since one “don’t move” is an insta win. I know Sukuna was holding back against Higuruma, but he can’t really do much with so many dangerous contenders on the battlefield. We did have a whole chapter of Yuta explaining why they couldn’t do this, but if Kenjaku is dealt with already and Ui Ui teleports them on, they could fight Sukuna right away without the usual inconveniences. Also we could just have Gojo punch a hole through Kenjaku, then teleport over to Sukuna since they were separated and there’s not really much the dude could do about it(and they were already able to track him down, plus Gojo’s instantly teleported to his location before, so it’s not like Gojo wouldn’t know where he is).
