Just in case he dies, he's taken out his two sets of balls to use as a way to incarnate again.

I honestly don't see the issue with the binding vows poo poo. As said a bit earlier, dude is basically just writing novel mathmatical proofs or intricate legal briefings on the fly in just such a way to get his maximally opitimal desired outcome. It's something you'd need not only an incredibly intimate and deep knowledge of jujutsu of, but also the sort of mind that can take seven black flashes to the face and still think of the entire structure on the fly. If it was simple and trivial to do he wouldn't be the peak of jujutsu. I'd say we could've used examples of loving up binding vows by overambitious people, but again as mentioned previously that's literally Miwa. No one in the modern day side can really risk throwing away their ability to fight right now on something that could just be a wet fart that sukuna shrugs off effortlessly. Sukuna is adding all these extra vows and conditions to his, and it's not like he's explained to anyone else the process by which he does this so it's unreasonable to expect the entire sorcery world to have intuited all of this and minmaxed it already, imo fakee. hell, im not even sure that it's clear to anyone besides us and the narrator that the binding vow cheese is half the reason he can keep going and do all of this whacky poo poo, to the outside a bunch of it might just look like Sukuna just being That Strong

According to Gege in the Databook. Furnace is the strongest single attack we have seen.

Which then begs the question of why everyone isn’t making arbitrary bargains with themself all the time when the alternative is death. Don’t get me wrong these last couple pages habe been rad but the binding vows part of all this have been the weakest part by far.

I dunno, I understand that view but to me it's been sufficiently woven into the narrative from the get-go that it doesn't bother me that much. However, I agree that the inclusion of what happened with Gojo feels like a really weird waste of panel space, and that in general a lot of these reveals do feel like they get handled clumsily on the page itself even if the foreshadowing to back them up has definitely been present throughout the story

binding vows would be cool (narratively satisfying) if they were cool (visually impressive or otherwise spectacular). ultimately the same reason they are meaningless and opaque to the protagonists is the same reason they are uninteresting in the broader sweep of the manga: they don't look like anything, they're boring, and they're completely indistinguishable from "didn't see that coming, guess sukuna just has that dog in him"

Underappreciated moment: Yuji's foot getting cut off only for him to reattach it using blood manipulation.
