In the discord, Azer pointed out this old video he found: youtube.com/watch?v=pV43r3lJj2A
I had thought before it might be possible to get OoB here, but never did it successfully. I was able to replicate the trick in this video, which shows the exact position of the interior of Tuskle's house.
Unfortunately, since getting OoB here requires having the rainbow bridge, this isn't useful in NG Any%. It should save some time in NG+ AB, since you could KT over the invisible wall immediately after entering Ezofuji, which would save having to run all the way up to the entrance of Wawku Shrine. It may also save time in NG AB, as an alternate way to reach the Power Slash 3 cave, but only by a couple seconds at most.

A small improvement over the last run. I saved a lot of time in places like Blockhead Clip and Fire Tablet Skip, but I also lost a lot of time:
-Wawku Defrost boosts (almost 3m)
-CC Skip (50s)
-Awesome Skip (80s)
-Wawku Cannon Room (almost 2m, though that was largely to do with using all Inkfinity stones on the defrost boosts)
-Ryo Stair clip (1m)
-Paper Clip into Tsuta (1m)
And just general slop overall.
Turbo start was used to skip cutscenes. Turbo jump was used primarily to swim faster and occasionally to jump immediately after landing.

This time was beaten by me on March 28 (https://youtu.be/k88UtutOe3g).
This run was really bad in a variety of ways, but the tab skips went really well. Tab Skip 1 was literally first try, which I never expected to happen for me so soon. I did have some good moments, but there were a lot of categorical errors in this run that very nearly ended it (mainly failing the acid swim in Water Dragon and forgetting to upgrade the wallet the whole run). Theres a long way to go before I have a run I really like here.
This run beats the previous WR by Krinoteder (2h 25m 57s https://youtu.be/zwGx7p1IfkI) by 48 seconds. Im very lucky he didnt lower the time much further because he definitely could have =p

I finally did it!! This run was far from perfect, but it was great in some very important ways. Namely, both fire tablet skips were incredibly quick. The first one was almost exactly 1 minute, and the second was 1m 11s. This run also had 2nd try CC skip, which was verrry lucky.
This run beats the previous wr by tnkn_27kan (2h 34m 45) by 3m 34s. Most of that timesave comes from overall faster fire tab skips.
I do still want to beat this time, because sub 2h 30m was easily within grasp if I hadnt made some bad mistakes in Wawku and at Orochi. Its just a matter of getting a run this lucky again =p
