#you clearly see what killed Kashimo I don't need limbs flying to understand that

Reactions to this chapter show me many don't actually understand Kashimo's character

That was Kashimo's perfect death. It was the whole reason they incarnated, to find someone more powerful than them, who would be worthy to kill them. Sukuna is exactly that person as Kashimo's gushing makes very clear. Kashimo does not want to grow old and die of leukaemia or whatever, they already did that. That's also why they saved their CT because it would have killed them no matter what, but back in the Edo era and before Sukuna reincarnated there was no need to use it because nobody could push them to that limit. Kashimo entered that match seeking out death. Gojo's death confirmed to them that using their CT was finally necessary and Sukuna the one worthy to kill them. It was short, but intense. Nothing about this is humiliating in Kashimo's eyes. Sukuna even indulged them in answering their questions about what it means to be the strongest and discussed their world view.

I would've liked one more chapter (and involvement of Hakari because he shows that Kashimo isn't as asocial as they like to think, kind of what Sukuna alludes to as well), but that was a good death for Kashimo and what their character was always gonna lead to. They didn't die without regrets, but they learned something in their death.
