Isn't that just a game of Capture the Flag? It's a nice school day activity, but if I wanted to kick back and watch other people do all the work for me, then I wouldn't have proposed we fight each other in the first place.

[ look, he gets it. chess is a great way to gauge an opponent's mind when it comes to stratagem. but gojo has never been the guy sitting comfortably in a leadership position, commanding others to fight his battles for him. he's the one who's at the forefront, doing what he needs to in order to spare others from dirtying their hands.

he isn't going to rope other people in when the only reason why he challenged this "god" in the first place was to see how strong he is. ]

Or is that what it means to be a god of war? You don't do any of the fightin'. You just let other people do it for you...?
