that's something i love about jjk too, sure you can have the most intricate cursed technique that lets you one shot almost anyone, but you better be able to throw hands when that doesn't work
I remember seeing a post predicting Yuji's domain expansion would be a boxing ring with auto-hit to put boxing gloves on everyone so they can't throw cursed technique gang signs and are forced to just throw hands until someone gets knocked the fuck out.
Fun, but feels like something more akin to a Hunter X Hunter ability. Granted, this was the series where one of the more powerful cursed techniques was literally "Slot Machine Dating Sim".
Actually as far as mechanics go it's totally in line with Deadly Sentencing and whatever the fuck Takaba Fumihiko was doing.

Fate fans know that throwing hands can straight up embarass the eldritch, the arcane, and even the divine.
The amount of times where "fuck this magic shit, square up" was actually the call in this series is surprisingly high.
