Tokyo Colony 1.
The group continued walking through the abandoned streets.
No enemies.
No ambushes.
Just the sound of their footsteps echoing between the buildings.
Takeru suddenly looked over at everyone.
"…I have a question."
Yuji already sighed.
"…Why do I feel like I'm going to regret hearing it?"
Megumi nodded.
"…I already do."
Takeru stopped walking.
Completely serious.
"Who would be stronger…"
A dramatic pause.
"Choso with HIV…"
Another pause.
"Inumaki with Reverse Cursed Technique…"
Another.
"Takaba with dark humor…"
He held up one last finger.
"Or Nobara with an infinite nail gun?"
Silence.
Absolute silence.
Yuji's brain visibly stalled.
"…What?"
Megumi slowly rubbed his forehead.
"…None of those belong in the same sentence."
Older Higuruma adjusted his tie.
"…This is not a legal question."
Younger Higuruma looked equally confused.
"…Nor a logical one."
Young Hana blinked.
"…What is dark humor?"
Takeru immediately answered.
"…A terrible idea."
Yuji finally recovered enough to answer.
"…Infinite nail gun."
Megumi looked at him.
"…Honestly…"
A pause.
"…Yeah."
Younger Sukuna smirked.
"…An endless barrage of cursed nails would be irritating."
Older Higuruma considered it for a moment.
"If Inumaki could continually heal the strain on his throat…"
He nodded once.
"…His technique would become significantly more dangerous."
Yuji pointed dramatically.
"SEE?"
Megumi crossed his arms.
"But Takaba with darker jokes could become even more unpredictable."
Takeru snapped his fingers.
"Exactly!"
Young Hana quietly raised a hand.
"…I'm still concerned about the first option."
The entire group looked at Takeru.
He shrugged.
"…I said it was a question."
Long silence.
Then Yuji sighed.
"…You ask the weirdest things while we're literally inside the Culling Games."
Takeru smiled.
"…Keeps morale up."
Megumi looked straight ahead.
"…Does it?"
The debate somehow continued as they walked deeper into Tokyo Colony 1.
Even in the middle of a deadly battle royale…
There was apparently still time for completely ridiculous arguments.
