Good question, most of the reason I had for it was they didn't know a massive threat was coming so they didn't have time to prepare. A lot of what Atlas, Gojo and Geto's friendship is, is trying to best and beat each other. For Geto he felt that it was set him apart from Atlas and Gojo making him 'special' when compared to those two monsters. So a bit of rivalry and jealousy among not knowing that they might need it added up into it being his trump card.

I did think about that. But I personally liked the idea of as he progressed more he cleared the first trials much faster, not only that but his attitude and way of clearing them would change throughout the story as he developed. This would also mean that he doesn't have to figure out new easy trials over and over but get back to the hard ones he is trying to clear. If the trials changed as well why would he think he was going back and restarting? He could have just failed that trial and then moved to new less difficult ones. By having the same ones the phycological burden of know you are going back to the start over and over is an interesting factor. This is all my reasoning at least why I think it makes it more interesting!

I do agree that people can subconsciously defend there soul. Especially against a new and weak technique like Hoshi would have had. But I also thought at the same time they are his parents and would have trusted him. They wouldn't have defended themselves subconsciously because they had no concern about there son. He was there son after all.

Its right now 2008. At least I am fairly sure, I'll double check my notes when I can and update this if I am wrong.

Yeah I think I had one when I wrote it to be honest... Even I don't know what was happening. I don't even know how that made it through editing.

True. When Gojo sees Atlas' powers in effect it is more so that he sees the slight distortion of space that is made across dimensions. Since at least how I am doing it in this fanfic. Time and Space are the two things that are consistent across dimensions the further away from the 'original' plane you are however the less the distortion shows. So later in the fic Gojo is seeing the slight distortion of space as his powers increase and he is able to notice the incredibly subtle changes.

I do agree, Hollow Purple is meant to be the sure hit one shot. And it is. Against Atlas barely anyone can do anything to even hit him when he hides in another dimension. Apart from Gojo, HP destroys what it touches and that means that it shatters the dimensions that Atlas is hiding in forcing a rift to form that 'forces' Atlas onto the real plane. Hopefully that makes sense. Also, on top of all of this Atlas wanted to be caught and 'killed,' he wasn't really trying to defend against HP fully like he was doing in the last fight. He needed to be defeated so he let himself suffer from attacks that wouldn't normally have been able to hit him. Even if HP breaks dimensions Atlas still wouldn't be forced out of them, it would be like removing a few layers of an onion. Gojo would need a really strong attack to get through all the dimensions. For more detail if anyone cares as for how the powers of Atlas and Gojo interact: Gojo's powers manipulate space, space is one thing that is connected through dimensions just as time is. However, it is distorted. The further away from the 'original' plane that Gojo is on the harder it is for powers over space to effect Atlas since the more space is distorted. So while his attacks can have effect, it is greatly diminished and harder to aim. It does make cracks in the dimensional barriers however if Gojo uses enough power potentially creating opportunities for things to slip through. I hope this all makes sense. Thanks for the question!

Even if he changes the location that he is hiding Frank the Higher-Ups and Kenjaku would still do everything they could to make him a curse-user. They just want to get rid of him and any excuse they can get without making it look like there forcing out there strongest sorcerer would be welcome. Hopefully that makes sense.
