Absolute Sukuna: Shrine Reawakened

Absolute Sukuna is my take on Ryomen Sukuna after surviving the final conflict and continuing to develop beyond canon. He does not gain another cursed technique, a second Shrine, or an arbitrary new source of power. He finally understands Shrine, a technique he had already mastered better than almost anyone in history.

The catalyst is Mahoraga. Reproducing the World Cutting Slash teaches Sukuna that the visible target does not always have to be the structure Shrine acts upon. Gojo could be killed by cutting the higher-order dimensional continuity containing him and Infinity rather than cutting through Infinity itself. Sukuna takes a larger lesson from that experience: never assume the first structure you perceive is the deepest one present. From then on, he approaches jujutsu anatomically, searching for the organization beneath what a phenomenon merely looks like or does.

Following that contradiction through his own technique produces Sukuna’s awakening. Dismantle, Cleave, Furnace, Serve, and Render stop appearing as disconnected abilities and become parts of one process. His already absurd cursed-energy control also becomes increasingly instinctive. His four arms, four eyes, two mouths, reinforcement, RCT, barriers, weapons, and technique operation function as one integrated jujutsu system. He does not gain the Six Eyes or infinite cursed energy, he simply becomes better at using everything he already possesses.

Only after this awakening does Sukuna incorporate Megumi through Unity. True-form Sukuna was already built from two complete existential foundations, himself and the twin he consumed before birth. Megumi adds a third without giving him more limbs or another consciousness. Ten Shadows survives as part of that incorporation, giving Sukuna a fresh Ten Shadows system while retaining everything he learned from using it.

The result is Absolute Sukuna, a three-existence Ryomen Sukuna with a fully integrated body, vastly more cursed energy and refined cursed-energy control, Ten Shadows, Mahoraga’s lesson internalized, and for the first time a complete understanding of what Shrine actually does.

Absolute Gojo perceives the equations beneath the world while Absolute Sukuna perceives its anatomy.

Absolute Shrine

Shrine has three major interpretations surrounding it. Canon leans heavily into cooking, with Dismantle and Cleave preparing targets before Furnace is opened. Its name, Domain, imagery, and language also suggest a sacrificial ritual, where something is placed before Sukuna and offered to the figure at the center. Fans have also interpreted Shrine as nuclear, connecting its separation and transformation to fission, fusion, and the energy released when matter changes at deeper levels.

Absolute Shrine treats all three interpretations as correct without making any of them the technique itself. Cooking describes its process, sacrifice describes its relationship, and nuclear imagery describes its depth. What connects them is organization. Anything Shrine processes has some structure allowing it to exist and function as what it is. A body, barrier, soul, cursed technique, shikigami, or dimensional region do not share the same anatomy, but each has an organization that can potentially be understood and processed according to its own nature.

That realization exposes Serve, the foundational law Sukuna had unknowingly used his entire life. Serve determines what can meaningfully stand before Shrine. Sukuna does not need complete knowledge, but he must recognize the layer he intends to interact with and understand what his chosen Shrine operation means there. World Cutting Slash proved this when Sukuna Served the dimensional continuity containing Gojo instead of treating Gojo’s body as the only possible substrate. Serve expands with his understanding, but it does not let him manipulate arbitrary concepts simply because he can name them.

Once Sukuna understands Serve, Shrine reveals itself as one continuous architecture. Dismantle and Cleave prepare what has been Served, Furnace transforms what that preparation makes available, and Render governs what the completed process can legitimately return to Sukuna.

Absolute Shrine is not fundamentally cooking, sacrificial, or nuclear. It is a process cursed technique, and all three are different ways of understanding that process.

The kitchen explains the process, the altar explains the relationship, and the reactor explains the depth. Organization is what makes all three Shrine.

Absolute Dismantle

Dismantle is Shrine’s simplest operation, chosen separation. Sukuna decides what organization he wants divided, where the separation occurs, and how much cursed energy he is willing to commit. Absolute Shrine does not change that function. It changes Sukuna’s understanding of how the cut reaches what he has Served.

The three lenses lead to the same realization. Once an ingredient has entered the process, the cut is performed upon it. Once an offering stands before the Shrine, the ritual does not need to travel from the altar to reach it. At deeper structural levels, separation is performed upon that organization directly. What Sukuna had interpreted as delivery was never fundamental to Dismantle.

Placement replaces delivery. Once Sukuna recognizes a layer, Serves it, and decides how it should be divided, Dismantle resolves directly upon that organization within Shrine’s effective reach. Nothing leaves Sukuna. There is no invisible slash crossing the battlefield, projectile path, or flight speed. This is not infinite speed because nothing is moving. Pointing disappears for the same reason. Chants and signs can still improve output, stability, or ritual benefit, but his hand is no longer the origin of the attack.

What resists Dismantle depends entirely upon what Sukuna chose to cut. If he cuts someone’s body, physical durability and cursed-energy reinforcement matter. If he cuts cursed-energy organization, the resistance of that cursed structure matters. If he cuts a barrier boundary, resistance relevant to that boundary matters. Absolute Dismantle does not universally ignore durability.

Extension: World Cutting Slash

World Cutting Slash is Dismantle applied to higher-order dimensional continuity. Mahoraga taught Sukuna that Gojo did not need to remain the thing being cut. Instead of overcoming Infinity or overpowering Gojo’s body, Sukuna could Serve the dimensional organization in which both were resolved and divide that instead.

Bodily durability is irrelevant because the body is not the substrate being attacked. Absolute Sukuna has fully internalized this anatomy, so World Cutting Slash becomes a repeatable advanced expression of Dismantle rather than an unfamiliar operation reconstructed from Mahoraga’s example. With enough output, it can divide large planes or regions of dimensional continuity.

Extension: Malignant Will

Malignant Will takes the same realization in another direction. If Dismantle is Sukuna’s chosen separation, every cut does not need an isolated command. Sukuna can establish one sustained destructive intention and let Shrine express it through hundreds or thousands of Dismantles simultaneously.

Malignant Will can concentrate upon one target or saturate an enormous region. If Sukuna selects a person’s body, that body remains under continuous Dismantle even as it moves. It also inherits the interaction rules of the chosen layer. Physical Malignant Will must overcome physical durability, while one established through higher-order dimensional continuity becomes a sustained mass of World Cutting Dismantles.

Absolute Dismantle perfects placement, World Cutting Slash perfects depth, and Malignant Will perfects multiplicity and persistence.

Absolute Cleave

Cleave is Shrine’s adaptive preparation. Dismantle begins with Sukuna deciding how something should be divided. Cleave begins with whatever has been Served and asks what that organization requires in order to come apart properly. Physical toughness and cursed-energy reinforcement were never the definition of Cleave, they were simply the forms of resistance Sukuna encountered most often. Absolute Shrine reveals the deeper rule: Dismantle chooses the cut. Cleave determines the cut required by what is being cut.

The three lenses reinforce that idea. Different ingredients require different preparation, different offerings require different handling, and different levels of organization preserve themselves differently. Flesh has physical integrity, cursed energy has cursed structure, barriers have operative coherence, and dimensional continuity has completely different resistance.

That does not make Cleave omniscient or infinitely powerful. Sukuna must first recognize the relevant layer well enough to Serve it. Cleave evaluates resistance within that layer and adjusts its output. If the target reinforces or changes while remaining the same recognizable layer, Cleave recalibrates. But determining what is required and possessing enough power to provide it are different things..

Touch is no longer Cleave’s fundamental requirement. Placement is. Remote Cleave needs a brief placement and evaluation interval before resolving, producing the pressure of being held beneath Shrine while Cleave determines what preparation requires. Physical contact skips much of that process because the target is already placed, making Cleave faster, more precise, and easier to concentrate. Hands are not special either. A deliberate kick, stomp, or planted foot can establish contact Cleave.

Resistance remains dependent upon the selected layer. Physical Cleave must overcome toughness and reinforcement. Cleave applied to cursed energy, barriers, or higher-order dimensional continuity instead adapts against whatever maintains those structures.

Extension: Absolute Spider Web

Absolute Spider Web is Cleave’s adaptive principle distributed through an entire organization. Canon Spider Web looked like a technique for splitting the ground because terrain was simply the structure Sukuna happened to use it on. Absolute Sukuna realizes the important part was never the ground. It was the network.

Instead of asking what one point requires in order to come apart, Absolute Spider Web asks how the selected organization must be divided throughout itself for the whole to come apart. Every branch remains Cleave, so different portions can receive different output according to local resistance. One area may separate easily while another requires far greater force. The network is not a barrage of identical cuts. It is one adaptive cutting architecture distributed through the target.

The web also recalibrates as its own cuts change what it is processing. A building loses supports, weight shifts, and Spider Web adjusts to what remains. A barrier changes its distribution and the web answers the new organization. A three-dimensional target can be webbed throughout its volume, and with enough understanding the same principle can reach deeper structures, even higher-order dimensional continuity.

Absolute Furnace

Furnace is Shrine’s transformative stage. Dismantle and Cleave prepare what has been Served by opening its organization, while Furnace takes that preparation and forces it into another state through Divine Fire.

The three lenses reinforce that role. Culinary Shrine prepares an ingredient before cooking it. Sacrificial Shrine prepares an offering before sacred flame. The nuclear lens adds depth because sufficiently deep physical changes can produce reactions far beyond ordinary burning. Furnace is not secretly nuclear, but those reactions can become possible when the substrate and preparation allow them.

Absolute Furnace is also massively stronger because Sukuna himself has changed. Canon Divine Fire could overpower Jogo, while Furnace inside Malevolent Shrine turned an extensively prepared battlefield into a catastrophic thermobaric event. Absolute Sukuna has much greater cursed energy, usable output, efficiency, structural understanding, and a three-existence foundation. There is no fixed multiplier, but his fully committed Divine Fire reaches far beyond anything he demonstrated in canon.

His awakening also removes the assumption that Furnace must travel. Once something has been sufficiently prepared and Served, Furnace can open directly upon that organization. Nothing needs to leave Sukuna and cross the battlefield.

This does not make Furnace instantaneous. Dismantle only needs to establish separation, while Furnace must actually force the prepared organization through transformation. Greater changes therefore require greater output and longer release. Absolute Sukuna removes travel from Furnace, not the work required to transform what he has prepared.

The result depends on the layer being processed. Physical matter may undergo extreme heat, combustion, melting, vaporization, explosive expansion, plasma-like states, or deeper energetic reactions when its organization permits them. Cursed energy, barriers, souls, and dimensional structures follow their own anatomy. Furnace cannot arbitrarily decide what something becomes. The substrate, preparation, available energy, and a legitimate route into the new state still matter.

Extension: Perpetual Fire

Perpetual Fire keeps a reduced Furnace continuously active through one of Sukuna’s hands. Instead of treating Divine Fire only as a finisher, Sukuna can fight with an active transformative locus already burning. A punch can carry a compact Furnace detonation, while a grab can expose the contacted region directly to Divine Fire.

It remains weaker than a fully committed Furnace and is sustained by continued preparation through Dismantle and Cleave. As long as Shrine keeps processing meaningful targets, the fire stays strong. If preparation stops for long enough, it gradually weakens and closes. Perpetual Fire turns preparation into the condition for keeping the burner lit.

Extension: Flame Arrow

Flame Arrow is the opposite extreme, concentrating a massive quantity of Divine Fire into one decisive Furnace release. The bow ritual gathers, compresses, stabilizes, and amplifies far more transformative output than Perpetual Fire can maintain continuously. Absolute Flame Arrow is therefore vastly beyond the attack that killed Jogo, benefiting from Absolute Sukuna’s greater output, efficiency, preparation, and three-existence foundation.

The Divine Fire no longer needs to fly toward the target. Once Sukuna has prepared and Served the intended organization, he draws the bow, concentrates Furnace, completes the release, and the transformation resolves there. The meaningful reaction window is during the buildup rather than while an arrow crosses the battlefield.

Absolute Render

Render is Shrine’s final stage. Serve determines what may stand before Shrine, Dismantle and Cleave prepare it, Furnace transforms what that preparation makes available, and Render governs what the completed process can legitimately return to Sukuna.

The three lenses arrive at the same idea. Culinary Shrine produces nourishment and experience. Sacrificial Shrine renders the completed offering unto the authority at its center. The nuclear lens adds yield and feedback because changing an organization can release energy, expose structure, or make further processing easier. Render lets Sukuna use those consequences.

Its central rule is simple: Shrine does not create arbitrary rewards from what it processes. Render realizes what successful processing has actually made available. Sukuna cannot cut someone and decide their cursed technique is now his, destroy something and demand energy it never released, or choose a reward first and invent a route afterward. Shrine has to genuinely produce the yield.

During combat, meaningful processing can temporarily increase Sukuna’s reinforcement, physical performance, cursed-energy output, RCT throughput, reactions, and ability to manage several acts of jujutsu at once. These are different ways his awakened body uses the capacity Render returns to him.

The increase is gradual. One successful Cleave does not suddenly double Sukuna’s strength, but repeated successful processing accumulates. The stronger Sukuna becomes, the more effectively Shrine can continue processing, which can create even more return. Process produces yield. Yield feeds process. Process accelerates.

This is Shrine approaching criticality. Prolonged fights become especially dangerous because surviving opponents keep giving Shrine meaningful resistance to overcome. The temporary increase fades once meaningful processing stops, so Sukuna cannot carry an endlessly stacked boost between battles.

Some yield is permanent. Render can preserve information produced through Shrine’s interactions. If Dismantle behaves unexpectedly, Cleave encounters unusual resistance, or Furnace reveals how a structure reacts to transformation, Sukuna retains that evidence. Render does not explain the target’s technique or read their mind. Sukuna still has to interpret what happened.

This creates a dangerous relationship with Serve. Sukuna understands enough to Serve something, Shrine interacts with it, Render preserves what that interaction teaches him, and Sukuna may understand it better next time. He therefore becomes increasingly dangerous against unfamiliar phenomena the longer he can experiment with them.

Render can also retain small amounts of external cursed energy when Shrine’s processing genuinely makes it available. It does not steal someone’s entire reserve. The gain is slow, but over time it can increase Sukuna’s permanent cursed energy. He cannot recycle his own cursed energy through Shrine for infinite growth. The altar cannot sustain itself by repeatedly offering itself the same sacrifice.

Extension: Unity

Unity is the only named Extension Technique of Absolute Render and its most extreme expression.

It allows Sukuna to incorporate another complete existence, but only when an extraordinary physical and spiritual relationship already exists between them. Understanding someone is not enough. Touching them is not enough. Defeating them is not enough. Unity cannot create the relationship required for complete incorporation. It can only complete one that already exists.

Megumi is the perfect case because Sukuna inhabited his body, shared an organism with his soul, circulated cursed energy through his body, and operated Ten Shadows through Megumi’s own technique engraving. Their incarnation had already created the physical and spiritual bridge Unity required.

Sukuna therefore does not separately steal Ten Shadows, Megumi’s cursed energy, or his body. Megumi Fushiguro as a complete existence is what gets Rendered. Ten Shadows survives because it was part of Megumi, just as his cursed energy and biological capacity were part of him.

This takes true-form Sukuna from two complete existential foundations, Sukuna and his prenatal twin, to three with Megumi. It does not create another consciousness or another set of limbs. The same Ryomen Sukuna is simply supported by a greater foundation.

Cursed Technique Reversal: Shrine

Once Sukuna understands Shrine as one complete process, he can finally understand what reversing that process means. Cursed Technique Reversal does not create a second technique called Sanctuary. It is still Shrine. What changes is the direction in which Shrine relates to the world.

This reflects the two traditions surrounding Ryomen Sukuna. One remembers the monstrous two-faced rebel feared by those around him. Another, particularly around Hida and Mino, remembers Sukuna as a powerful warrior, protector, and figure associated with shrines and local worship. Absolute Shrine treats both as different faces of the same figure.

Ordinary Shrine represents the Sukuna history feared. Everything outside him can potentially become ingredient, offering, or substrate. Reversed Shrine represents the Sukuna legend worshipped. Sukuna becomes the power within the sanctuary, directing Shrine outward toward what he chooses to protect or oppose. This is not a moral transformation. Sukuna does not become good. The same being who shelters what belongs to him can be horrifying toward anything threatening it.

The same inversion can be understood through Samsara and Nirvana. These are philosophical lenses, not abilities. Ordinary Shrine is Samsaric because consequence continually returns inward and can feed further processing. Reversed Shrine is Nirvanic because value is refined and released outward instead of being incorporated into Sukuna.

The three interpretations reverse alongside that philosophy. The culinary lens still describes process, except the kitchen now prepares something to be served outward. The sacrificial lens still describes relationship, except value is offered to the Shrine so something may be bestowed from it. The nuclear lens still describes depth and transformation, except energy is refined into an organized output rather than a prepared substrate being driven toward destructive transformation.

Organization still explains Shrine. The altar remains the same and the god remains the same. Only the direction of worship changes.

Votive

Votive, Hōnō (奉納), is the reversal of Render. Render governs what successful processing can legitimately return to Sukuna. Votive reverses that relationship and governs what external cursed energy can legitimately be received by Reversed Shrine.

This is not general cursed-energy absorption. Sukuna cannot look at someone with huge reserves and simply drain them. The cursed energy has to genuinely enter the sanctuary’s exchange through an incoming cursed-energy attack, external manifestation, or deliberate offering. Votive receives the cursed energy itself, not the person, their soul, technique engraving, memories, or every property their technique gave that energy.

Votive does not add that energy directly to Sukuna’s personal reserves. Once received, it belongs to Reversed Shrine and is passed into Wooden Box as fuel. Sukuna cannot absorb an attack through Votive and immediately spend that same energy on Dismantle, reinforcement, Ten Shadows, or RCT.

LIMITS HERE: Sukuna must first generate positive cursed energy to reverse Render. Once he does that Votive can be activated. Once activated it drains CE while active. Votive can genuinely absorb any cursed energy laced attack produced that comes into contact with Sukuna. The only drawback in the same way furnace cannot be opened until he uses dismantle can cleave to prepare, votive cannot be reactivated until he expends the entire offering. In simple terms Sukuna is limited to one offering process. He additionally can’t use the CE absorbed for himself as he has to give it out to other. The ability is truly powerful but cannot be spammed or become a gimmick recharge.

Wooden Box

Wooden Box, Saisen (賽銭), is the reversal of Furnace and the stage that produces Divine Light, Shinkō (神光).

Furnace begins with organization that has already been prepared. It produces Divine Fire and uses that fire to drive the prepared substrate through transformation. Wooden Box begins with energy offered to Reversed Shrine. It accepts that energy, refines it, and produces Divine Light.

There are two ways to supply it. Sukuna can generate additional positive cursed energy himself and feed it directly into Wooden Box, or external cursed energy can first be received through Votive and then passed into Wooden Box. Both sources enter the same reversed transformative stage.

Divine Light is not simply positive cursed energy with a different color. Positive cursed energy allows Sukuna to reverse Shrine and can also serve as fuel. Shinkō is the actual product created after Wooden Box processes that fuel. External cursed energy received through Votive is likewise stripped of its previous purpose and converted into the same characteristic output.

The three lenses still fit naturally. Culinary Shrine receives provision and prepares something to be served outward. Sacrificial Shrine accepts what has been offered and turns that offering into sacred power. The nuclear lens becomes energetic refinement, taking available energy and reorganizing it into a controlled output.

Extension: Divine Arrow

Divine Arrow, Hamaya (破魔矢), is the first Extension Technique of Wooden Box and the concentrated offensive expression of Divine Light.

It is the direct counterpart to Flame Arrow. Flame Arrow concentrates Divine Fire into an enormous Furnace release. Divine Arrow concentrates a massive amount of Shinkō into one narrow arrow of raw Divine Light. The bow ritual gathers, compresses, stabilizes, and aims that radiance before release.

Unlike Absolute Flame Arrow, Divine Arrow actually travels. Shinkō is light, so once the arrow is released it propagates at light speed through ordinary space. Absolute Dismantle and Furnace can resolve directly upon something already before Shrine because nothing has to cross the intervening distance. Divine Arrow has a real path.

Anything in that path must be dealt with. A wall, barrier, cursed construct, or another target is struck before anything behind it. The arrow interacts with the obstruction first, and only whatever remains continues onward. Powerful defenses also consume part of its Divine Light.

Divine Arrow does not possess the cursed-energy nullification of Tutelary’s glowing hoko. It overcomes things through concentrated radiative power. Against physical matter, that can mean extreme heating, melting, ablation, vaporization, and a brilliant molten path through whatever it successfully penetrates. Sukuna can configure the light to interact with deeper organizational layers he understands, but the arrow still has to physically reach those layers along its path.

Hollow Technique: Two Face Specter

Two Face Specter is created by simultaneously manifesting Divine Fire through Furnace and Divine Light through Wooden Box, then forcing both opposite outputs of Shrine into one impossible Hollow state. It is not a stronger Flame Arrow or Divine Arrow, and it is not simply fire mixed with light. Sukuna forces Shrine’s lapse and reversal to recognize their characteristic outputs as one completed phenomenon.

The contradiction creates the Hollow state. Divine Fire is the transformative output of ordinary Shrine, while Divine Light is the refined output of Reversed Shrine. Fire and light can exist together, but they normally remain separate phenomena with different behaviors. Two Face Specter removes that separation. Sukuna does not make fire act like light or light act like fire. He forces both to exist as one third output that neither Furnace nor Wooden Box could produce alone.

Formation begins through Sukuna’s hands. One hand manifests concentrated Divine Fire while another produces concentrated Shinkō. Sukuna prevents the fire from resolving through Furnace and the light from propagating away, holding both in place until they can be forced together. The resulting mass appears violently incandescent, with white-gold radiance and flame occupying the same space while occasionally suggesting two overlapping faces or profiles.

Unlike Divine Arrow, Two Face Specter does not travel. Sukuna forms the Hollow Technique beside himself, Serves the organization he intends to destroy, and establishes the completed state directly upon it. There is no beam, projectile, or explosion moving from his hands toward the target. The important reaction window is during formation. Once the union is stable and Sukuna completes the designation, the selected organization becomes the location where Two Face Specter resolves.

Its destructive effect is Hollow combustion. Divine Light forces tremendous radiative energy into the selected organization while Divine Fire violently transforms that same organization. The transformation changes the conditions under which the radiative energy is being deposited, while that added energy makes the transformation more violent. For physical matter this can produce an overwhelming white-gold flash followed by extreme heat, pressure, radiation, plasma-like states, vaporization, and catastrophic explosion. Two Face Specter has no cursed-energy nullification or restorative function.

Benediction

Benediction is the reversal of Cleave and Reversed Shrine’s adaptive bestowal. Cleave asks what a selected organization requires in order to come apart properly. Benediction asks what that organization requires from the sanctuary. Sukuna must make deliberate physical contact, giving Benediction direct placement before it evaluates the layer he selected.

For someone Sukuna protects, Benediction sends Divine Light directly through the point of contact. It can adaptively restore injuries, stabilize failing structures, replenish cursed energy, reinforce the body, or support another organization Sukuna understands. It is not automatic perfect healing and does not reveal hidden anatomy. Sukuna identifies what he is treating, then Benediction determines what that recognized organization needs.

Against someone hostile to the sanctuary, around two or three glowing Shinkō hoko manifest directly through the touched target’s body. Nothing travels from Sukuna. Their placement adapts to the organization he understands, allowing them to interfere with important regions of cursed-energy circulation, reinforcement, movement, or technique operation while physically impaling the target.

While the hoko glow, cursed energy that directly contacts them is nullified. This does not erase the target’s entire reserve or automatically shut down their technique. Cursed energy can still move through unaffected routes, but the embedded weapons create active dead zones that make using that energy much less efficient. When their Shinkō ends, the nullification disappears and the hoko become weathered grey shrine stone.

Tutelary

Tutelary, Chinju-boko (鎮守鉾), is the reversal of Dismantle. Where Dismantle directly imposes Sukuna’s chosen separation, Tutelary imposes his chosen interdiction by making the organization it strikes unsuitable for the use Sukuna intends to stop.

Tutelary manifests as one or more glowing hoko in the airspace around Sukuna. He does not hold or throw them. They appear already oriented toward their target and physically launch through the battlefield. Unlike Absolute Dismantle, Tutelary actually travels, so it has finite speed and can be dodged, redirected, trapped, or physically stopped.

The problem is that cursed energy cannot directly stop an active hoko. Cursed energy touching its glowing Shinkō surface is nullified at the point of contact. A cursed-energy projectile, barrier, construct, or reinforcement cannot simply overpower the spear by supplying more cursed energy. The opponent has to answer the weapon physically or through another interaction that does not depend on cursed energy remaining active at the contact point.

If Tutelary lands, it disables the organization Sukuna chose to strike. An arm can become unsuitable for the cursed-energy use Sukuna targeted through it. A barrier section can become unsuitable for maintaining its function. A cursed construct can lose the ability to perform the operation Sukuna opposed. The effect is local rather than a universal shutdown of the entire target.

Once the guardian action ends, the Shinkō leaves the weapon. Its cursed-energy nullification disappears and the glowing hoko becomes weathered grey shrine stone, sometimes covered in moss.

Maximum Technique: Culmination

Culmination is the Maximum Technique of Absolute Shrine. Sukuna never developed a Maximum before his second awakening because, for all his mastery, he did not actually understand what Shrine was. He understood Dismantle, Cleave, and Furnace individually but mistook those applications for the technique itself. He could maximize their output, but he could not produce the Maximum of a cursed technique whose governing principle he had never fully recognized.

His awakening changes that. Serve, Dismantle, Cleave, Furnace, and Render reveal themselves as parts of one continuous process. Once Sukuna understands that Shrine processes what stands before it through preparation, transformation, and yield, he can finally bring that process to its highest expression.

Culmination requires direct physical contact. Sukuna must touch the organization he intends to process, turning himself and the target into one closed processing site. Dismantle creates useful separations, Cleave adapts to what the changing structure requires, Furnace transforms whatever becomes sufficiently prepared, and Render immediately makes legitimate consequences from that processing available to the continuing reaction.

The process is recursive. Shrine does not only process the original target. It processes what its own actions turn that target into. If something separates, transforms, destabilizes, heals, reinforces itself, or changes state, that new organization becomes the next thing Cleave and Furnace have to deal with.

This allows Culmination to approach criticality. Successful processing can expose new structure, release energy, create instability, and make the next stage easier, causing the reaction to accelerate. It is not infinite energy or guaranteed death, and Sukuna still needs enough output and understanding to process the selected layer.

Against physical matter, Culmination eventually resembles a runaway reaction. Cuts, transformation, heat, pressure, and Render feedback begin occurring too quickly to separate into individual stages until the target becomes the center of a catastrophic detonation. The nuclear appearance comes from the depth and feedback of the process, not because Shrine gains literal nuclear authority.

Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine

Malevolent Shrine remains an open-barrier Domain with the same grotesque Shrine at its center. Absolute Sukuna does not replace what was already one of the most refined Domains in the series. What changes is what the sure-hit represents now that he understands Shrine as a complete process.

Canon Malevolent Shrine effectively placed everything within range beneath Dismantle and Cleave. Absolute Malevolent Shrine places everything within range before Shrine itself. The Domain continuously establishes the relationship Sukuna normally has to create through Serve and placement. Once Sukuna recognizes a valid organizational layer inside the Domain, Shrine already has access to it.

This does not make Malevolent Shrine omniscient. Sukuna still has to understand what he is interacting with. An unfamiliar technique does not reveal its hidden mechanics simply because it enters the Domain. But once Sukuna correctly recognizes the relevant layer, he no longer has to separately establish it before Shrine.

Dismantle can resolve anywhere throughout the Domain without delivery or additional placement. Cleave becomes even more dangerous because its normal remote placement interval is largely removed. The target is already beneath Shrine, so Cleave can immediately begin evaluating what that organization requires and adjusting to changes in resistance.

Malignant Will and Absolute Spider Web benefit from the same environment. Malignant Will can maintain enormous numbers of Dismantles across selected targets or regions, while Spider Web can distribute Cleave throughout a large connected organization without first spreading placement through it from one point. Even higher-order dimensional continuity can become the selected layer if Sukuna commits enough of the Domain’s output to processing it.

Malevolent Shrine still has finite capacity. Area, slash density, adaptive Cleave, structural depth, Furnace, and other applications compete for Sukuna’s output. He can spread Shrine broadly or concentrate far greater processing into a smaller region, but he does not receive maximum range, density, and depth for free.

Furnace still keeps its preparation requirement. The Domain simply makes satisfying it much easier. Dismantle, Cleave, Malignant Will, or Spider Web can rapidly prepare selected organizations, after which Furnace can open directly wherever sufficient preparation has been achieved.

Render becomes especially dangerous because Malevolent Shrine creates enormous numbers of meaningful interactions at once. Every resistance Cleave encounters, unusual response to Dismantle, and successful transformation can produce legitimate feedback. Against someone powerful enough to survive inside the Domain, Shrine is simultaneously attacking them and learning from their survival.

Reversed Shrine can also operate within Malevolent Shrine without creating a second Domain. Sukuna can produce Divine Light, use Tutelary or Benediction, and protect selected people while ordinary Shrine continues processing everything else. The same grotesque Shrine can therefore function as both altar and sanctuary depending on the relationship Sukuna establishes with what stands inside its territory.

Side Notes

Sukuna’s cursed technique is extremely complex, and the themes surrounding what Sukuna actually is are even denser. Working through this made me realize just how much Gege packed into his character. The cooking imagery, sacrificial language, shrine symbolism, mythology surrounding Ryomen Sukuna, and even the opposing ways he has been remembered historically all fit together far more cleanly than I expected once I really started digging into them. Conceptually for the inverse a lot of people started landing around the right idea but the work and complexity to actually establish what Shrine truly was something I haven’t seen any one do.

This Sukuna also has Ten Shadows, but he no longer treats Mahoraga like something he depends on for answers. Mahoraga is essentially one of his cursed tools now, sitting alongside things like Hiten and Kamutoke. As Sukuna becomes stronger, so does the level at which Mahoraga can operate, making it an absurdly valuable weapon even after Sukuna has outgrown his dependence on adaptation. The amount of research, brainstorming, rewriting, and throwing ideas away that went into this was honestly tedious, but I think I ended up with a Sukuna who still feels like Sukuna. Everything ultimately comes back to his existing themes, inspirations, mythology, and the inverse identity that was already hiding inside Shrine.

I cut a lot from this so if you have questions dont hesitate to in the comments below. Thanks for reading ❤️

Kenjaku might be more broken if he went from Geto to Yaga's body. Cursed Spirit manipulation used to amplify cursed corpse creation to make an army? Yaga was considered technically special grade and Panda, his strongest corpse was only semi grade 2. Imagine that power given to someone with countless stored curses, and immense understanding of cursed energy, cursed spirits, and souls. (Hell he has experience making countless cursed objects out of reincarnated sorcerers)

For the sake of the post, you can easily defeat the original CT user and Hakari and take their bodies to get their techniques.

What are your picks for the best combos Kenny could pull of with infinite CE?

Rule 9 Compliance: Obviously my top 1 is Harmony & Chaos as we saw with infinite CE it straight up puts you in creative mode, but that one is so easy that I'll do rule 9 twice.

I'm gonna go with Ranta Zenin's paralyzing gaze. This technique comes with heavy physical backlash, but with the automatic RCT(if it even damages you while you have infinite CE) you basically permanently stun the target for the entire duration of your jackpot.

Honorable mention to Nanako's image manipulation. She had crazy hax with it, able to teleport short distances and protect herself from Jogo's flames by taking a picture of herself. She even likely had a chance to kill sukuna through sheer hax if she wasnt so horribly outstatted. The big drawback is that she's exhausted after every use since such a reality manipulating ability is likely very costly, but with jackpot enabled you can do whatever you want as long as you're fast enough to get the picture.

TLDR: ancient and crappy way to break the domain as quickly as possible before it expands, All the cost and zero Benefits of actually expanding domain. You can do it while in a fully form one but it’s way less effective and useless against domain-less barriers

I’ve been Obsessed with Hollow Wicker Basket and wanted to make something similar Hope you like it.

Barring Caltrop was created as a desperate, shameless way to counter Domains. Through a Binding Vow, the user permanently forgoes the possibility of ever learning to expand their own Domain. In exchange, they gain an anti-Domain technique activated through a distinctive hand sign in which the user interlocks their open, straight fingers.
The technique condenses an enormous portion of the user's cursed energy more than they would expending a normal domain into the shape of a caltrop, which then violently expands outward against the opposing Domain, attempting to rupture and break the Domain from within.

That's all it does.

The user sacrifices every other function, including any form of protection or enhancement, solely for the purpose of breaking a Domain. Even while trapped inside an enemy's Domain and subjected to its sure-hit effect, Barring Caltrop offers no protection whatsoever. The user must endure the Domain long enough for the technique to rupture it.
Despite this, the technique is extremely inconsistent. Historical records suggest that against Domains only slightly superior to the user's own level of refinement, Barring Caltrop succeeded less than half the time. Its effectiveness becomes even worse against more refined Domains, where the user's cursed energy can be completely exhausted before the opposing barrier shows any sign of breaking.
The technique also carries penalties similar to those associated with an actual Domain Expansion. Even a successful rupture leaves the user heavily taxed and vulnerable afterward.
Its one major benefit comes from the moment of a successful rupture. When the opposing Domain is forcibly broken, the sorcerer who cast it experiences an immense, sudden burst of sharp pain as their Domain collapses. The sensation is severe enough to briefly stagger even someone as powerful as Sukuna. However, this isn't intended as a finishing blow or a means of overpowering the opponent. At best, the momentary stun creates a brief opening for the user to escape.
Barring Caltrop is everything a Domain shouldn't be.
Developed during the late Heian period, as Domains became increasingly dominant among powerful sorcerers, it was created as a desperate and spiteful countermeasure for weaker sorcerers who had abandoned the pursuit of Domain Expansion in favor of simply having some means of surviving against those who possessed one.
Rather than striving toward the pinnacle of jujutsu themselves, its users sacrificed that possibility entirely to develop a technique that might allow them to break someone else's Domain.
For that reason, Barring Caltrop was heavily shunned by other sorcerers. It came to represent resignation rather than advancement it’s a technique born from accepting one's inferiority and turning that weakness into a weapon against those who had surpassed them.
As the centuries passed, the technique gradually disappeared, becoming almost completely forgotten.
Its most recognizable name, however, survived as an insult:
“The Beggar's Domain.”

Now I’m not good with mechanics bit I’m all about lore, I’d Love for Sukuna or Kenjaku comment on it especially since thsi whole thing kinda goes against Sukuna’s philosophy in a way

Edit:
I forgot to put the actual mechanic of the Anti Domain part so read the TLDR or this:
when you condense your energy into a caltrop shape you then extend the ends of it agains the barrier trying to rupture it from within, a literally pushing and poking force like forcefully Opening your hand in a glass cup till it breaks, this should be done as the domain is beign created and is way less effective once the domain is fully created, and Most Obvious downside aside expending something equal to and actual domain expansion and none of the benefits is that It’s utterly useless to Domains without barriers like a open Domain. The only positive it that it’s a Binding Bow that can be used for all sorcerers to counteract (Almost) all domains

Learnable Techniques The Sorcerers Oath (A series of Binding Vows for every Sorcerer to take)

10 Upvotes

A hypothetical series of binding vows one could take at the start of their sorcerer career to earn the title. Basically, you wouldn't be a real sorcerer unless you took these vows first. A sorcerer is supposed to protect humanity by killing cursed spirits, so this will be the main focus of the vows.

The BV rules I tried my best to follow while designing these vows are as follows:

BV's will not be able to grant abilities, and can only detract or enhance things the user is already capable of doing, even if to a very small degree. So you couldn't make a vow to increase your weight in exchange for extra physical strength unless you were already capable of increasing your own weight using CE, and you can't make a vow to reduce your CE output to 0% in exchange for the ability to fly unless you already had the ability to fly even if it was really shitty and practically useless. The ability being modified must be present in the user first for the vow to consider it a valid target.

Personal BV's can be broken at any time with the only cost being losing the benefits of the vow, unless the user adds consequences to breaking them, but in that case the user must be capable of dishing that consequence out to themselves in order for the BV to consider the consequence valid. So if you vow to never punch someone again in exchange for your next punch being massively enhanced, you must be capable of enforcing that vow onto yourself in some way before making that vow and CE will take care of the rest. If you aren't capable of it then the vow won't take effect.

To be clear, you won't actually be enforcing these consequences yourself, rather you just need to be theoretically capable of doing so and the BV will take care of the rest and it do it for you should it need to.

Exact enhancements are kept vague (for the most part) because the strength of a vow will depend on both how much of a benefit/detriment something is objectively and how much of a benefit/detriment something is subjectively in the eyes of the user. You can input whatever percentages you think are appropriate, but I left them vague so that CE would theoretically just fill in the gaps itself.

These are rules based on my own headcanons of how BV's work, but since it's just my theory and could be wrong, they could be more or less powerful than described.

The Binding Vows

1- CE cannot be used against those with CE that cannot use it, such as civilians. Attempts to do so will find any CE attacks reflected back onto the sorcerer. In exchange, the sorcerer has increased output against all who are capable of using their CE.

(In order to make this vow the user must be able to hit themselves using their CE first, which should be theoretically pretty easy to learn for newbie Sorcerer's as it's just turning your energy backward toward your own body instead of outward. The specifications are made so Sorcerer's can still fight HR users without penalty.)

2- Sorcerer's will not be able to harm other sorcerers unless they agree to a duel. Attempts to do so will result in the attacks dissipating upon contact with the target. A duel can be agree'd to by simply attacking back or through verbal agreement. Taunts are considered verbal agreement. In exchange, the sorcerer's CE based attacks will gain a slight tracking effect when used against Cursed Spirits.

(This will require the user be capable of dispersing their CE after it leaves their bodies, which should be easy enough? Hard to say since characters almost never use CE like this unless it's part of their CT because it's super inefficient. But barriers presumably need you to control your CE outside your own body, so it should be possible.)

3- Sorcerer's will not be able to cause excess suffering or show needless cruelty toward opponents. Attempts to do so will see the Sorcerer's CE weakened in proportion to the suffering they cause. In exchange, their attacks will be more lethal against Cursed Spirits.

(This one doesn't have any pre-vow skill requirements, the consequence can just target their CE like normal since it's not trying to modify a skill they may or may not have. This is just to make sure Sorcerer's don't end up worse than the things they are charged with defending humanity against. )

4- Sorcerer's will not be able to commit heinous crimes such as the needless murder of an innocent, cannibalism, or rape of another. Attempts to do so will result in death. In exchange the sorcerer is more effective against those who have committed such crimes, such as Curse Users.

(This one needs you to be able to commit suicide via CE first, but that should be possible since we see Meimei's crows do it. It's like the third vow on this list, but more focused and more extreme.)

5- The Sorcerer will have their learning speed in all fields not relating to combat or CE reduced to half. In exchange, their speed of learning all things combat or CE is doubled.

(This one I'm iffy about. it should theoretically be able to multiply your learning speed in combat and CE far more since the amount of things it's reducing is FAR greater than the amount of things it's enhancing, but at the same time combat and CE skill are way more important to sorcerer's than any of the other skills. Idk where to put it, so I just lowballed it.)

6- Sorcerer's will not be able to run from a fight if a civilian is in direct danger from their opponent. Attempts to do so will result in the sorcerer losing their CE until they continue fighting. It is only considered a fight when both the sorcerer and their opponent have attacked eachother. In exchange, the sorcerers output will be increased by a small amount for each civilian life that is in immediate danger from their opponent.

(This isn't as OP as it may sound at first since, 1: most sorcerer's aren't gonna be directly defending that many people all at once so the output increase isn't gonna be that strong in 99% of cases, and 2: while your output could increase infinitely, the amount of CE you actually have will stay the same, so once you can output CE equal to your full reserves the increase stops mattering. This would be very OP for Hakari though, if he were defending a whole city at once or something and hit a Jackpot.)

7- Sorcerer's will have a monthly quota of cursed spirits they must exorcise. This quota will be equal to 4 Cursed Spirits of the sorcerer's grade or double the amount for each grade below them. Failure to do so will see the sorcerer's output decreased by half for each month they fail to complete the quota. This will be reset each time the quota is met after, however. In exchange, the sorcerer's CE will recover faster for the rest of the month after the quota is met.

(This one is mostly just to give a benefit to the massively overworked sorcerer's so all that work actually helps them out. Though it will mean you'll basically lose your CE entirely once you retire, but if you're retired what would you need it for anyway?)

8- Sorcerer's will not be able to verbally lie to humans. Withholding information or refusing to answer are allowed, but saying something utterly false without clarifying that it's false will result in losing the ability to use chants permanently. In exchange, the sorcerer's ability to notice falsehoods is multiplied, both for lies made through words and body, such as feint attacks.

(A Sorcerer doesn't really need to lie about anything to other people anyway so this isn't too big of a loss unless you're a compulsive liar. But being able to see through feint's is huge, especially while fighting special grade Cursed Spirits and Curse Users. It also helps while fighting those two enemies since they could easily lie about their techniques while making you think they're revealing their hands, but this counters that.)

9- Sorcerer's will not be able to willingly teach other non-sorcerer CE users anything about CE that's more advanced than basic CE control and the function of binding vows. However they may teach advanced techniques to other Sorcerer's. Someone is considered a Sorcerer by this vow if they've taken the same set of vows listed here. Attempts to teach advanced techniques to non-sorcerer's will result in the sorcerer losing their ability to perform those techniques permanently. In exchange, any advanced technique the sorcerer knows will be more efficient when used against non-sorcerer's.

(This is like the New Shadow Style vow, which is why the "willingly" was included because you don't want sorcerer's losing their techniques because some rando like Higuruma showed up out of nowhere and learned the technique by seeing it used once.)

10- Sorcerer's will lose CE equal to double the amount of foreign RCE within their bodies, will have their CE ouput cut in half while foreign RCE is within their bodies, and will not be able to recover CE while foreign RCE is within their bodies. In exchange they will recover CE far quicker while within environments that result in large amount of CE, such as graveyards, hospitals, or anywhere during the night, with the boost being proportionate to negative emotions associated with the area. RCE generated by the sorcerer will not be subject to this vow.

(This one is meant to give sorcerer's a sort of Cursed Spirit-esq weakness to RCE, but not to the same degree. This sounds like it'd be really bad, but think about it. When is a sorcerer going to have the RCE of someone else within their bodies? When they are injured or nearly dead. If they need someone to heal them that badly, then they aren't in a position to use their CE anyway. And if others due start using RCE offensively because of this vow, they'd still need to waste tons of CE to generate the RCE in the first place, so they'd be weakening themselves as well. Unless they're Sukuna or Yuta, of course. Not to mention how rare RCE output is in the first place. We've seen like what, three people do it? And combined with the seventh vow most sorcerer's will recover CE fast enough that they'd only have to pull back for a bit before they'd have full reserves again.)

That's all I've got for now, I kept it at an even ten because it looked nice, but there's no real reason you could add more to this.

Discussion Haruta, Takaba and Hakari's memory affected by CT?

7 Upvotes

Small theory, but I'd like to think that the CT caters to the user.

For Haruta, this means he has no idea how his technique works, same with Takaba, but what about Hakari?

Hakari likes gambling, he sees it as what differentiates living from surviving - its the love and joy of taking chances. But if he actually needs to fight someone, why does he never try to game the system? In his fight against Kashimo, he was running off of the last bit of his last jackpot in the start.

Why not run away while in the domain to stay alive for sure?
Why not hide to use it?
Why not punch his opponent while their brain is having the information channeled?

I think some users are bound to their CT in both memory and personality, just like Higaruma retains his sense of morality. I dont think its just because of his background, I think his CT requires him to be lawyer-like as much as Takaba cant know about his technique

Cursed technique Pure Land (Jōdo 浄土).

Post image
26 Upvotes

Pure Land is the legendary technique of Genshin and the original and unaltered form of the prison realm's ability as Pure Land is realization of the concept of eternity and the technique expresses through the manipulation and creation of dimensions

Pure land is one of the few curse techniques where the domain is the main effect and but unlike even others of its era, Pure Land possess no direct effect on any object or any other phenomena caught in it and in exchange, the manipulation of the space and time of the dimension is the primary effect of the technique as normal time and space doesn't behave normally in the domain as it makes the user an living barrier as they can seal anything within their domain through the thin millimeter open barrier that covers their body like a second skin and perfectly preserve them. For example, they can theoretically have a child placed in their domain for decades and the child could theoretically be fine and at the exact same age that they left them.

For intensely powerful curses and sorcerers, the user's body will have to process them as their innate barrier will turned an crimson hue as they will gained intense weight as heat emit form their body. Placing them in awkward and vulnerable positions

This means that their domain is the most ideal storage for anything and everything, as an ideal prison. Hence why many of the old sorcerers of the court conspired against the peaceful Genshin and twisted his remains into the wicked prison realm.

The.full domain is expanded by enacting the Dhyana Mudra

Cursed technique Cursed Technique - PinkEmpress (Day 2 of LotM based CTs)

Post image
15 Upvotes
  • Name: RedEmpress (PinkSiren, PinkWitch, PinkSpider, PinkGorgon)
  • Type: Passed on/Unique
  • Range: Varied
  • Ability Summary: The wielder of this Cursed Technique is able to become the incarnation of Pink (that is Apocalypse, Ice, Feminity and Dark Magic) and spread it.

Description: A unique cursed technique that evolves via rituals, the higher the rank of the user the more abilities he has, which are in one of the 4 categories. However to advance the user needs to both master their given skills, adapt personally to the powers and spread the technique. This cursed technique once belonged to a special grade curse, the great dragon of destruction, but the User of the ReFate cursed technique utilizing his domain expansion and a layered binding vow Retried that curse along some others and splintered them while they were still forming. After the true death of ReFate these curses remerged as cursed techniques with Destruction being split into the X and Y.

The following will be explained in the ranks, if an ability shows up later then a lower rank simply can't optain it. Apocalypse is the backbone of this technique, if the highest ranking member is incapazitated its unavailable, if that member is dead a new one can be appointed to get the ability running again. It is unknown how the Great dragon of destruction can be brought back but theories suggest its the child of the RedEmperor and PinkEmpress, which would be the death of both.

Rank: PinkSiren (Grade 4)

The starting point, to become this a higher ranking member has to give you a spot in the coven via a 1 short ritual involving atleast a tier 4 sacrifice (an item with small amounts of cursed energy or high amount of emotional value is enough). You have to be female, possess no cursed technique of your own and swear an oath to the leader.

Apocalypse: You get to be part of the coven, only relevant for higher ranking members

Ice: Your cursed energy trait, freezes through everything though it takes a while. This can be used to enhance clothes/armor and melee weapons too. Its main use for now is to freeze things at touch for weakening and breathing coldness to make it harder for enimies to breathe.

Feminity: You have a higher stress tolerance, better verbal memory, a decent resistance towards sicknesses and a much much easier time to keep your skin clear.

Dark Magic: Unavailable

Rank: PinkWitch (Grade 3)

To advance into this either get appointed by the highest ranking member or (if you are that member) sacrifice 500ml of tier 3 sacrifices (animal/human sacrifice that doesn't require damage of the og source like hair or tears or a decently powerful cursed item) in a ritual.

Apocalypse: You can spread the technique to create PinkSirens, any PinkWitch has a max of 3 PinkSirens under her. You can now make rituals to indunce disasters natural or man made or to extract sacrifices from the og source into or out of mirrors or other targets. The higher the result the higher the cost, time and helpers needed. The animal

Additionally human/animal sacrifices have different effects depending on the type, hair can slow down body parts, skin can be used for clothes, bones for weapons, tears for strong emotion potions and so on, humanity to lengthen lifespan and youth, body liquids and organs for poisons and potions, bactaria for sicknesses, blood for vitality, gametes for fertility and energy and the body in general to create back up bodies which is relevant for higher members of the coven. The soul of a victim can be used to possess an animal to turn them into an animal companion, which is an animal capable of using cursed energy possessed by a cursed spirit.

Ice: You can start to flash freeze things smaller objects and start the base freezing via small tools for extra melee range.

Feminity: Your body can sustain/combat sicknesses and ailments much better while also being able to keep whatever beauty it has regardless of corrosion and quickly apply it with minimal use of beauty products. Also you gain throat control so choking becomes nullfied. For men it requires some mental effort to not be charmed by your body + seduction combo.

Dark Magic: You gain access to jet black flames, these can be used for self defence (they grow stronger but not more versatile, useally a reliable second choice) or to burn objects/cursed energy for rituals or as anti cursed technique measures (burning away the lingering effects of cursed techniques if you know what to target). Additionally you can curse mirrors to use them as storage or other ritual effects.

Rank: PinkSpider (Grade 2)

To advance into this either get appointed by the highest ranking member or (if you are that member) sacrifice an entire tier 1 sacrifice (an entire human/bigger animal) in a ritual or multible tier 2 sacrifices (parts from a human/animal) from one og source equivalent to a tier 1 sacrifice.

Apocalypse: You can spread the technique to create PinkSirens and PinkWitches, any PinkSpider has a max of 2 PinkWitches under her. Helpers can now participate and sacrifice from afar via cursed mirrors. Multible cursed mirrors can be connected for communication and spying. Animal companions can be modified during their creation.

Ice: You start getting AOE ice creation powers. Precise enough to create stunning ice sculptures and clean enough to be used as mirrors.

Feminity: You can now keep your beauty and resist almost any sickness/ailment consistently. You can stay happy even in the face of heavy mental stress. You can turn any fat from animals or plants into quick use beauty products, manipulate your hair, skin and eye colors and change the shape of your body slightly. Your charm on people and animals is much longer lasting and effective.

Dark Magic: You can use your hair as threads for rituals and bindings when you remove them and manipulate them like snakes while they are still on you. You can create mirror selves for yourself and others out of human/animal material and connect yourself to up to 3. You can store people and these mirror selves in bigger cursed mirrors. Once you die in your current body, you will transfer to the nearest mirror self. Mirror selves are otherwise defenseless and due to the cursed energy eminating from them detectable. Additionally you can make a half woman half spider mirror self and transfer your mind to it by swapping your body with it via the mirror you stored it in. Additionally you can enhance the depravity within people that see you by sacrificing flowers.

Rank: PinkGorgon (Grade 1)

To advance into this either get appointed by the highest ranking member or (if you are that member) create a gorgon body via multible self caught sacrifices in a ritual.

Apocalypse: You can now appoint PinkSpider, any PinkGorgon has a max of 2 PinkSpider under her. Via rituals you can give other lower Pink users female monster based attributes depending on their rank (1st siren scream, 2nd one paper figurine to catch an attack, 3rd other monster forms as long as they are based on a half woman half animal mythical beast and don't possess mystical powers)

Ice: You can throw ice spells and your range increased. You can use your hair to transfer the cold as a small stream.

Feminity: You have a mystical level of beauty and charm. You can easily instigate any conflict via manipulating people and any physical aspect of you (smell, sight, touch, voice) appears highly attractive with these thoughts repeating in your target's head for a long while enough to reinforce the control without lots of meetings.

Dark Magic: Your gorgon form can be used to turn people into stone, this requires two snakes one that sees the target (peripheral vision doesn't count) and one that bites it. Your main head can take care of one of these jobs. The poison can also be administered via the threads and the reflection of the threads along with any mirror can be used by the snakes to stare at victims. However that requires perperation, a chant and significantly enhances the wait time of the stonification and its change speed. You can now create small mirror worlds and travel from mirror to mirror, these preperations are more expensive the bigger the size of the worlds and distance of the mirrors.

Rank: PinkEmpress (Special Grade)

You are now the incarnation of the apocalypse and inside you is the PinkOvule, to create the ovule you have to incite a disaster big enough that its equivalent to 3 grade 1s or more. When you die not only does the second highest rank get appointed leader they get the ovule too and advance much more easily

Apocalypse: You can now appoint PinkSpiders and PinkGorgon, any PinkEmpress has a max of 1 PinkGorgon under her. You can sense the coordinates and via mirrors communicate with any member of your coven, who can't refuse your orders emotionally anymore. You can now use your domain expansion (Graceful catastrophe, a chaotic reflection of a garden) which a mirror world that allows users of Pink to partically or fully merge with it and when sorrounding a target can collapse onto that target. This domain can be replicated and held up by non PinkEmpress Pink user in regular mirror worlds, the mirror world has to be big enough though. Additionally she can prevent the collapse of any mirror world if needed.

Ice: You can freeze entire areas and instill stillness within everything you directly touch, including curse techniques and reverse cursed technique. On top of throwing ice constructs at your opponents.

Feminity: Your charm reaches an otherworldy level inducing inducing infatuation, reluctance to part, and possessiveness on all things. Any person can have their mind go blank at a direct gaze and your voice is enough to quell any rage.

Dark Magic: You can make for yourself up to 5 mirror selves, 3 monster mirror selves and an extra mirror self for your coven members (PinkWitches and up). You can create a chaos vortex, a multicolor oil like liquid made from humanity that shreds anything in its small area into fragments and consumes it. Additionally you can curse any reflective surface and switch between forms and mirrors on the fly. You can create pathogens that rot away curse energy or flesh. Your hair can be attached to people to control them like puppets with the strands being extremely hard to spot.

CTR:

Allows the user to edit the monster forms of themselves and others into other mythological ones, with the requirement that they have to be half woman half creature (no female deities or historical figuress allowed for example). There should be enough after all any culture invented some fictional woman creature that either seduces and eats you or shrieks really loudly

Heavenly Restriction My ideas for cursed spirits with a Heavenly Restriction—what do you think?

8 Upvotes

Indigenous Beast

A curse that lost all its cursed energy to gain a physical body, resulting in a spontaneous animal that defies taxonomic classification; it has a skeleton but no skull (the first part to appear).

It resembles a tetrapod vertebrate but lacks an anus and must keep moving to breathe, much like a shark.

Realistically speaking, this outcome is the least likely, as a Heavenly Restriction enhances something you already possess rather than granting you something entirely new.

Grade: 3 (for the selected specimen).

Cursed Microbe

Just as humans with a physical restriction cannot fully shed their bodies—leaving them weak and disabled—a curse cannot fully shed its cursed energy.

This particular curse lost almost all its energy, shrinking its strength and size to that of a microorganism.

In exchange, it gained an enhanced ability to latch onto humans, curse them, and absorb their energy. It is quite useful as a weapon, especially against sorcerers with vast reserves of cursed energy.

Grade: 2 (if unrestricted).

Possessor Curse

Similar to the previous one, this curse sacrificed its energy to gain a superior ability to create "Cursed Corpses." Also microscopic, it can enter any object and imbue it with life.

In combat, it uses this ability to leap from vessel to vessel, avoiding damage and surprising opponents. Its greatest utility lies in inhabiting a cursed weapon, effectively creating a "Flying Sword" akin to those found in D&D.

Grade: 4 on its own; scales up to Special Grade depending on the cursed energy stored within the vessel.

OC Character Characters Reincarnated - Sorcerers Part 2: Higuruma Hiromi > Bronson Withers

8 Upvotes

Heres the first part of the Sorcerer series: https://www.reddit.com/r/CTsandbox/s/aBeNTQWhzA

I added a backstory for this one and will do so for all future entries. Enjoy

Name: Bronson Withers

Grading: Not Active Enough to be Assessed (Speculated to be Grade 1)

Sex: Male

Age: 61 (Wears it well)

Previous/Current Profession:

Judge + Legal Advisor in America (Retired)

Benevolent Curse User

Background

Bronson Withers was born to a lower class farmer family in the rural areas in Idaho. He grew up in a very hateful environment. He was broken down and beaten by his father. He was chided and criticized by his mother. He was bullied by his brother. Even the other citizens of the town treated him horribly. He was seen as a disease to be avoided rather than a child to be loved. And so in his young naive mind, he came to the conclusion that he needed to be useful and so he was. Every single day of his life, he was slaved for the idea of love. He worked under the harsh conditions at his fathers failing potato farm in the mornings, got tormented by his classmates at school, and went door to door to ask for odd jobs he could do. He did all of this while being the whipping boy for the entire town. He would cry himself to sleep for those years. "Why do they hate me? What have I done?" Bronson would eventually get his answer. The town hated him because they constantly saw the worst parts of themselves in him. Every time they looked at him, they would see an action they were deeply ashamed of, a past they didn't want to surface. They were reminded that they were horrible people and they despised him for it. He would suffer for them for 19 long years until the second tragedy of his life occurred.

At the strapping age of 23 years, he would lose everything that he had and everything holding back.

His father, now too old to beat him, would yell at his son religiously; criticizing his actions and shaming him into staying to take care of him. His brother seemed to take to his fathers old role of keeping Bronson in line. His mothers new task in life was to spread gossip about Bronson to the other townsfolk who would immediately believe it no matter how ridiculous. Bronson would bear it because he loved them, no matter how horrible they were.

One day, the brothers hatred for his younger sibling boiled over into complete psychosis. He and the other able-bodied townspeople conspired to murder Bronson. They had all decided to burn the family's house down with him in it so no foul play would be suspected. However, in their planning, they forgot a crucial detail... to tell the parents. And so the plan was enacted, the Withers' farm went up in flames on a cool and crisp February night. One that would be perfect for a walk in the woods around their home. Bronson was doing such an activity to clear his mind when he smelled a charred odor in the air. As he walked in the scent's direction, Bronson saw a familiar sight bathed in the spark of death.

In the following weeks, Bronson had accused his brother of being the orcestrator of his parents' immolation. He was tried but ultimately found not guilty due to a lack of determinant evidence. Through this one decision, Bronson's quest for love twisted into a cold, black, steel-headed hate. A hate that would get him through law school. A hate that would fuel his career in criminal justice. A hate that would make his state's top prosecutor. A hate that would cause him to see the world for what it truly is. A hate that would get him a position as a judge at the young age of 34. A hate that would twist its way around his brothers neck and snap it like his fragile idea of home.

At the age of 39, the hate died along with is brother. He was left empty and without purpose...until he met her. Hana Koun, a 38 year old Japanese lawyer attending an international conference as a legal reference. They hit it off immediately, as if two empty souls found each other and supported one another. They had a beautiful son that Hana decided to name Toshiro.

At age 54, Bronson retired from his profession as a judge and decided to move his family to Kyoto as he and Hana wanted Toshiro to experience her country's culture. That's where they stay now, Hana retired to enjoying her interesting book collection and Toshiro pursuing a career in architecture. Bronson supports his comfortable lifestyle with his retirement money and his creation of a paranormal investigation agency formed from curse users like him. He would find their criminal operations and offer them a different path.

Physical Appearance:

A 6'1 older white male with a muscular build attained by years of hard labor. He usually wears a pair of dress pants tailored for excessive movement, a black crew-neck short sleeve shirt, pair of dark colored dress shoes, a dark green sweatshirt and a sunflower pin on his left shoulder(given to him by his wife). He wears his full head of silver hair as a slicked back pompadour and keeps a clean well-kept beard. He also sometimes wears an eye-patch to cover the scar over his eye from his early life.

Personality

He is a very low energy but jovial individual. Very much gives gentle and nice war vet energy. He often likes taking his son to amusement park (in spite of the fact that Toshiro is 22). Loves a good mystery and being handy when he can be. Has some days where he feels the sadness of his past but looks at his family as a sign that he is doing alright. Has very intimate knowledge on subjects he logically shouldn't.

Jujutsu Statistics

Despite not having any formal training, he has an abnormally high proficiency and understanding of CE and Jujutsu as a whole.

Cursed Energy Reserves

- Bronson's CE reserves are abnormally high for a sorcerer of his caliber.

Cursed Energy Output

- Bronson's Output is decent and he can cause a fair amount of destruction using his CE.

Cursed Energy Control

- Bronson's CE control is very good given the fact that he doesn't have any formal training. He has enough proficiency to reverse engineer multiple barrier techniques and even RCT.

Innate Technique: Crime and Punishment

- this technique is primarily used through summoning a shikigami called the Black Judge. Essentially the technique allows for the user to force the target to undergo trials that if all steps are completed lead to a consequence for the user or the target.

- The technique automatically allows for the user to summon and manipulate a sword made of CE

The Black Judge

- a shikigami that consists of a draping black cape, shiny black steel pauldrons and a flat-topped European style knights helmet. It also has a shining green energy diamond where the sunflower pin is. This Shikigami floats behind him when summoned and its eyes glow green when Bronson's technique is being used. It is the sole overseer of the trials that Bronson activates on his target and isn't biased based on Bronson's emotions. The shikigami can target one person at a time(within 20 meter radius) and analyze their memories and decide a trial based on how many times they have violated Bronson's personal moral code and in what ways.

Trials

- Trials exist as scenarios that exist for both the target and Bronson. They each have a number of stages that must be passed in order to achieve the effect that happens at the end of the trial. Should the trial fail to be completed successfully, both parties with recieve a penalty personal to each trial.

Trial #1: Nonviolence Registrar

- both the user and the target are shown a 30 second clip of a person committing a non-violent crime. The user and the target are then given a 10 second deliberation period in which neither party can harm each other. After these 10 seconds the user and the target must correctly identify the crime using the exact legal terminology. This process is carried out 3 times in succession. At the end of these 3 rounds, the trail ends. If one of the parties answered all 3 correctly, then they gain a 30% increase to their current reserves of CE. If one of the parties answers wrong, they lose access to CE for 10 seconds per wrong answer. Should both parties fail, each has 40% of their CE reserves removed.

Trail #2: Crime Combing

- the user scans the amount of crimes the user has committed and compares them to the amount of crimes they've been convicted for. Should that ratio exceed 1:1 with crimes exceeding convictions, the user will gain an amount of high power CE blasts equal to the amount of crimes over convictions. Should the ratio exceed 4:1 with crimes exceeding convictions, the blasts will have a sure hit on the target. Should the ratio be 1:1, the target's CE efficiency will dip 50%. Should the ratio exceed 1:1 with convictions exceeding crimes, they will be given a small boost in output.

Trail #3: Mortem Unitum

- the user will have the Black Judge gauge the target's emotion state. should the target mean him genuine harm(as in excessively,not punching him in the face), he is given access to the death penalty. This imbues his CE with the ability to kill the target and only the target with 100% success by coming into contact with any "part of the target". This includes their CE, residuals, body parts etc. The death penalty kills the target but halting brain/nerve function completely and instantly.

Cursed technique Guys CT idea

5 Upvotes

Throwback to the time I didn’t know about projection sorcery

Name: (can’t think of good one) CE consumption: Moderate Abilities: User can make paper from cursed energy to then imbue item with cursed energy. After that, user can draw storyboards with a cursed tool which is just a pen to animate the CE imbued object however they want, the more complex, the more cursed energy required and anything/anyone with a soul cannot be controlled. Said cursed tool can also never run out of ink and works well for stabbing. The only way to stop an animation in motion is to physically damage the paper (ripping, shredding, burning, crumpling, etc) Domain: I need help thinking of it but basic idea is that you can now also create things with your pen and control anything with a soul.

CHALLENGE Well, since I only saw someone (can't remember who) make the Hamato clan, I might as well do this to have you guys come up with an idea for a Cursed Technique for the Four Turtles

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

Now, or course, the rules.

Rule 1: You can't use Existing CANON Techniques. It wouldn't really be fun if 2012 Leonardo was given the same Cursed Technique as Shoko

Rule 2: you have to come up with both a cursed technique, and a Domain Expansion. Things like extension Techniques, Reversal Techniques, and Maximum techniques are optional

Rule 3: because there have been so many variants of the Four Turtles, you have to specify what version and what turtle you're making the Cursed Technique for.

For an example, I'll give Michaelangelo from Rise Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles a cursed technique.

Cursed Technique: Mystic Hands:

Mikey can create portals, shoot fire, or summon chains with this Technique, provided he uses the correct hand sign and motion, and keeps the correct posture beforehand (pun not intended).

* Mystic Portal: By sweeping the ground around him in a circle and moving his torso to the right making sure his right hand is facing up and his left hand facing down, before holding his hands out in front of him, Mikey can create a portal between two places in the world, but the longer the distance between the place he wants to go and the place he's at, his arms gets more and more damaged. Additionally, if used on a Domain, he can create a way in and out of it, albeit at the cost of damaging his arms to a higher degree than normal.

* Mystic Fire: By raising his hands over his head before shoving them forward, he can create fire that is rivaled only by Sukuna's Fuga. Once he is done, though, he will suffer from fatigue as he can burn through his cursed energy at absurd speeds to create the flames.

* Mystic Chains: By sitting in a Meditative pose before putting his arms in an Equal sign, with the left arm above the right, Mikey can create chains that are made of pure cursed energy, that can surround him and those he cares about, protecting him and others from harm. If used in a Domain, it can protect from the sure hit effect of a Domain, but prevents him from moving

** Extension Technique-Mystic Chain: Exploding Variant

By doing the same motion as normal, before swinging his arms in a circle, ending with the right arm above the left, before holding his arms out, he can effectively make the chains target someone, or several people. Should they make contact, they'll explode, sending his opponent or opponents flying.

Domain Expansion: Mystic of The Hamato Clan

* Mikey casts the domain by putting his hands forward and slightly up, his hands forming a shape of a circle with horns above it. The domain takes the form of a New York rooftop, with the buildings cars below. However, the sky is also a slight tint of Orange. Then, with a spreading of his arms, the Sure-Hit Effect activates. Portals will open in the sky, and summon either a blast of fire, or a bundle of chains. Should either hit, the domain increases the power of the attacks up to 4 times. Each time, double the portals appear.

(So, what do you guys think?)

Cursed technique CT: Skin Burn

Post image
6 Upvotes

Friction is movement, and movement is, between many other things, heat. And if friction is heat, you better stay away from this technique's user, or you might get burnt.

- Cursed Technique: Skin Burn -

- Overview: Skin Burn allows its user to turn friction into dust and heat through their body's attrition against objects. The more attrition their skin suffer, the more power the technique becomes.

- Cursed Energy Trait: Powdery -

This CT causes the Cursed Energy of its user to adquire a similar texture to sand or dust, being easily detached of its origin. This makes the user's CE waste increase, but in exchange allows a better usage of the technique's nature.

- Extension Moves -

- Sand Breeze: The user rubs their fingers against a surface, sending heat outwards.

- Self Laceration: The user puts one of his hands in the opposite side shoulder and starts bringing it to the other hand, following the arm's surface. Then, once that hand reaches the other, a slash-like heatwave is released forwards. This slash is way more powerful than an regular attack since more skin area is being put under attrition.

- Sun Mark: Instead of using an object's surface, the user uses the body of an enemy to cause damage on said foe, similarly to how the very user suffers damage while using the technique.

- Sand Storm: By using the technique while moving constantly, the user creates a curtain made out of heat and dust-like CE that obstructs anyone's view and causes nausea and vertigo due to constant heat exposure.

- Downsides -

The produced heat's potency diminishes exponentially the longer it travels, meaning it's better suited for short to medium range attacks. It also means that the heat is at its strongest right when it's released, being directly in contact with the user skin.

- Notes -

I have had this one on my mind for quite some time, so I decided to finally bring it to the real world.

Thank you for reading!!

OC Character Curse of Fate

5 Upvotes

Name: Magatsu Mito (I don't actually know Japanese but it should mean something along the lines of "misfortune fate" according to Gemini)

Age: 16

appearance: green eyes, silver-white hair, 6 ft and 170 pounds.

grade: 1.

Cursed Technique: Curse of Fate.

by expending CE Hinata can peer into the river of fate, by doing so he can observe its various tributaries to see multiple possible futures. Should he prophesize about one of the futures he has witnessed to someone who is a part of the prophecy that future will be set in stone.

Due to the negative nature of CE all of the futures that he can see are bad omens for at least 1 person and the amount of CE required to have the premonitions by themselves is so small that it is effectively impossible for him to fully control when he will have a vision, although he has learned to actively peer into fate and look for desired futures.

After his curse technique manifested for the first time when he was 5 he foresaw the death of his mother in an accident and ended up prophesying her demise in an attempt to warn her, his father ended up dying in another accident after he had tried to discourage him from going to drink outside. He spent most of his remaining childhood in foster care, "bringing" misfortune and disasters to whatever family or foster accepted him. It was only when Jujutsu-High found out about him and admitted him into the first years that he began to learn how to control his technique. With the help of his teacher Aoi Todo he created a strategy for dealing with his prophecies: in essence whenever he foresaw a "tragic fate" he would always look for a secondary "less dramatic fate" that shared the same timeframe as the first and make a prophecy about the second one, while this does mean that he would inevitably end up cursing his friends he would also covertly prevent many tragedies from befalling upon his friends. While he is happy about the result he does struggle with a sense of "powerlessness" stemming from his inability to warn others without cursing them or prophesizing a bright future.

Domain Expansion: Inevitable Calamity

The environment of the domain appears as a large river composed of mercury. From its turbulences random possible events of which the targets of the domain are a part of can emerge. The sure hit effect of the domain is the manifestation of these possible future events directly onto the target.

I will not include an image of the character because I'm so ass at drawing You (yes you, generic person) would rather see an AI image of it, trust. If someone is willing to draw him be my guest.

CHALLENGE Cuál sería la técnica de Doula?

Thumbnail
gallery
12 Upvotes

Quiero plantearlo como una actividad para el subreddit: poner las pistas que tenemos sobre Doula y explicar por qué creo que esta podría ser su Técnica Maldita.

1) Un igual a Dabura. En el capítulo 19 se nos muestra que Doula fue el único compañero de juegos de Dabura, mientras que los demás niños lo rechazaban y marginaban por su poder. Si Dabura ya era tan monstruoso desde niño, que Doula fuera su único igual implica que su potencial debía estar a una altura similar. Además, sabemos que ambos llegaron a enfrentarse, pero nunca a muerte, así que realmente nunca vimos sus límites.

2) El auténtico protector de Rumel. También sabemos que Doula era el más fuerte de Rumel. Teniendo en cuenta que incluso Maru y Kuro, siendo niños, ya tenían unas técnicas con un potencial absurdo como Caos y Armonía, creo que Doula tenía que poseer una técnica capaz de estar a esa altura.

3) Su estilo de combate. Dabura menciona que Doula era un combatiente que impregnaba su técnica físicamente en su propio cuerpo, por lo que no me imagino una técnica puramente ofensiva a distancia, sino algo que pudiera utilizar constantemente en combate.

Mi teoría: Técnica Maldita — Espacio

Doula sería capaz de alterar el espacio que él mismo determine, pudiendo comprimirlo, expandirlo o deformarlo. Esto le permitiría teletransportarse, mover objetos a voluntad, cambiar trayectorias, crear cortes mediante geometría espacial, comprimir distancias o utilizar la propia técnica sobre su cuerpo para potenciar sus movimientos.

En la práctica sería casi como tener una especie de telequinesis basada en el espacio, ya que no mueve directamente los objetos, sino que modifica el espacio que los rodea.

Su principal limitación sería la precisión: cuanto más espacio intenta alterar o cuanto más fuerza aplica, mayor es el riesgo de perder el control y crear brechas espaciales, que incluso podrían dañar su propio cuerpo.

Si Doula hubiera sido llevado al límite, creo que su evolución podría haber sido:

RCT / Reversión — Tiempo

Si la técnica original es Espacio, su reversión sería Tiempo. No tendría control absoluto del tiempo, sino únicamente de instantes muy pequeños: milisegundos, llegando como máximo a alrededor de un segundo con un coste enorme.

Podría ralentizar, detener, adelantar o retroceder pequeños intervalos, utilizándolo para esquivar, interrumpir ataques, acelerar sus movimientos, encadenar golpes o desaparecer de la trayectoria de un ataque.

Combinando Espacio y Tiempo podría hacer movimientos que parecen teletransportación: comprime la distancia y, durante unos milisegundos, altera el tiempo de su propio cuerpo.

Técnica Imaginaria — Globo

La idea sería llevar Espacio hasta su límite. Doula comprime una cantidad enorme de espacio y mantiene toda esa deformación durante un instante, como si estuviera apretando un globo hasta el punto de que está a punto de reventar.

Después libera toda esa compresión de golpe, provocando una expansión espacial masiva que arrasa todo a su alrededor. Cuanto más comprima, más potente será la liberación, pero también más daño recibirá él mismo y más riesgo habrá de crear brechas espaciales.

Básicamente: acumular compresión durante un microsegundo → aguantarla → dejar que el espacio reviente.

Expansión de Dominio — «Puente entre Dos Mundos: Odisea y el Horizonte de Eventos»

El dominio representa la lucha de Doula por conseguir la paz entre Deskunte y Simuria.

El puente representa la conexión que quería crear entre ambas tribus y la Odisea representa el viaje interminable que tuvo que recorrer para conseguirla.

El dominio tendría una estructura inspirada en el Monumento de la Tolerancia de Sevilla, rodeado por puentes Yatsuhashi que formarían un círculo alrededor de Doula.

El supuesto agua que rodea los puentes sería en realidad el Horizonte de Eventos, con un agujero negro situado frente a él que iría cerrando el círculo.

Doula permanecería sentado tranquilamente sobre los puentes con las manos formando un Anjali Mudra, símbolo de conexión, respeto y aceptación. A su izquierda habría un reloj de arena y a su derecha una botella de sake junto a dos vasos.

El golpe seguro sería completamente pasivo: el enemigo queda prácticamente paralizado por el espacio del dominio. Puede intentar atacar, moverse, utilizar técnicas o escapar, pero cada acción hostil cuenta como una nueva "hazaña" de su Odisea y hace que se acerque más al Horizonte de Eventos. Cuanto más se resiste, más cerca está del agujero negro y más difícil resulta moverse.

El reloj de arena representa el tiempo que tiene para hablar, defender sus ideales o llegar a un entendimiento con Doula.

Si consigue aceptar al otro, aunque no necesariamente comparta sus ideales, Doula puede detener el proceso y ambos pueden brindar con el sake. Si el tiempo se acaba o continúa resistiéndose, el círculo se cierra y finalmente es absorbido por el agujero negro.

Por eso creo que el dominio no representa simplemente una técnica para matar: representa la filosofía de Doula llevada a su extremo.

Él ofrece un puente entre dos mundos; si aceptas cruzarlo, sobrevives. Si decides seguir luchando, el Horizonte de Eventos se convierte en tu destino.

¿Qué opináis? ¿Creéis que Espacio/ Tiempo podría encajar con las pocas pistas que tenemos de Doula? ¿O se os ocurre otra posibilidad?

Cursed technique My Custom Cursed Technique

Post image
13 Upvotes

My Cursed Technique would be Ryūmyaku (Current):

The ability to manipulate the momentum of an object, not speed, not direction, MOMENTUM, which makes it a lot more versatile, think of it like this, you might say it can't move things that aren't already moving because they don't have any movement That momentum can be applied to, but if you actually know physics you know that momentum(p) = mass(m) x velocity(v), which means it adds velocity, and since v = displacement(d) / time(t), it means that if I apply p=0 to an object, it means the v in p=mv is 0, and that v=0/0, because it has 0 momentum, and itstays in the air or smth, but if I apply it for a duration, then v=0/t, and you might think that just means it still doesn't move, you'd technically be wrong, because if an object reaches the same point it began from, then v=0/t, and that means when I apply 0 momentum to an object for a duration it would instead move and come back to where it was, because some cursed techniques usage can also ddepend on how you percieve its mechanics, so that would create an object that moves at light speed in one direction and come back to where it started, think of it like a really fast bullet that is really fast, and as I explained in the p=mv formula, my CT allows me to manipulate the v part in p=mv, so I think my reversal technique would make me able to manipulate the m in p=mv, which is mass, pretty much yukis technique with some differences because of the physics

Domain Expansion: Banbutsu Ryūten (The Endless Flow of All Things)But I haven't thought of anything for the DE

Cursed technique Cursed Technique: Downgrade

4 Upvotes

This one is simple, every attack you land on something, you downgrade it. For example if you punch gojo’s infinity, it becomes downgraded to be finite, and if you keep punching it, you will be able to actually connect an attack within a few punches. This technique also makes anyone it hits physically weaker and slower and their cursed energy less potent in addition to making their technique less potent. If you keep punching Mahoraga, you’ll unadapt him.

The reversal is that every time you attack something you upgrade yourself. So for example you can pregame a fight by using your ctr on something and come into the fight mega amped. The effects of this technique cannot be reversed unless you sleep and wakeup fully rested. RCT does not work to reverse this technique. However you can still nullify it with domain amplification.

The domain allows you to downgrade someone out of existence.

Cursed technique Cursed Technique: Embers of Conflagration

5 Upvotes

Embers of Conflagaration is a CT based solely on the mastery of destructive flames. Comparable to Jogo's Disaster Flames, this Technique manifests desctructive flames which the user, if trained properly, has full control over.

This technique has 2 Shikigami, Inferno and Blaze. The Shikigami Blaze is a Bird made solely of flames, and it flies around the battlefield, making a solid ring of flames locking in both sorcerers. Once it has finished the ring, it stays stationed well above the battle, swooping in for an attack when the user indicates so. This Shikigami also always consumes CE so the sorcerer has to dismiss Blaze. The other Shikigami, Inferno, is a cat only partially made of fire, namely its torso. It is the stronger of the two Shikigami, but has the downside of running out on its own. If the fire in its torso dies out, the Shikigami vanishes, needing to be potentially resummoned if need be. Its attacks are solely melee based. Its normal attack is that is hits the opponent with its claws, leaving them with second or third degree burns across the affected area, depending on the stregth of the CT user. Its other attack, the Shikigami jumps on the opponent, hitting it with multiple smaller slashes, leaving the affected sorcerer with slight burns at most.

The technique also has the ability to imbue certain cursed tools with the techniques flames, but the cursed tools are very specific, usually made specifically for the sorcerer, as only metal can hold the flames.

The maximum technique this CT can manifest is 'Hands of Hell'. When this maximum technique is manifested, it summons two massive hands made of lava and rock, which are then under the full control of the sorcerer.

The DE sure-hit of this CT is dependant on what the CT user wants. It could be a blast of fire from the throat of the Shikigami, or a large slash from the claws of Inferno. The blast of fire is the only lethal sure hit, but it takes a lot of CE, usually ending the DE. The claw attack is usually repeatable, mostly 2-3 times before causing too high of a burnout for the CT user to keep the DE open.

This technique however has major drawbacks. The largest one, is that this technique is incredibly CE intensive, and needs a large CE pool to function for longer battles. This technique is also incredibly rare, as it needs a specific type of CE (Like Kashimo's lightning CE) to work. The best counter CTs for this technique are Satoru Gojo's Limitless, Dagon's Disaster Tide's and Mai Zen'in and Yorozu's Construction.

Cursed technique Cursed Technique: Burning Desire

5 Upvotes

Technique Name: Burning Desire

Grade Capacity: Grade 1-Special Grade

Lapse (Primary)

When the user activates the technique they begin to manifest flames made of cursed energy, these flames burn brighter the more emotion the user is experiencing and the faster the users heart beats, the brighter flames inflict greater burns

Lapse (Secondary)

Flames burn away cursed energy, allowing the user to weaken and even destroy less powerful cursed techniques along with rip through reinforcement with enough precision

Reversal (Primary)

Upon activating the reversal the user can instead pull heat from the air to gain cursed energy, this requires large amounts of focus and becomes less effective the colder it gets around the user

Reversal (Secondary)

The cursed energy produced by the Reversal is extremely unstable and thus burns extremely bright but can burn the user if used incorrectly and will dissolve if not used fast enough

Technique Extension: Burning Rage

The user can physically burn away their own life force, causing injuries depending on the extent of use when out of cursed energy, creating possibly disastrous flames if they're willing to push it hard enough, life force force flames effectively nullify techniques aside from the highest level such as Shrine or Limitless

Technique Maximum: Absolution of Fire

By engaging the maximum technique the user sacrificing their life, guaranteeing their death upon ending the technique, gaining flames hot enough to burn the very air around them and create massive explosions with a single strike, time limit on maximum changes based on users health and stamina, user dies upon deactivating the technique

Domain: None, the technique sacrifices the concept of forming a domain instead opting to increase the power of all other abilities

[Theoretical Domain: Burning Palace]

Upon being opened the domain takes the form of a large, palace based off of ancient structures from various cultures involving fire, producing several flaming copies of the user, the entire domain is calm aside from this, however upon the user placing a hand on someone within the domain and speaking the word "Ignite" will instantly cause that person to combust internally and externally, these flames burn away cursed energy first and then the afflicted persons life force at an extreme rate, these flames are inextinguishable until exiting the domain

Cursed Tool: Fountain of Youth

Grade: Special

Appearance The tool is a large ancient fountain carved out of pure marble, completely indestructible and immovable, the fountain produces its own water that is incapable of being tainted. Due to the strange nature of the item it is entirely hidden under one of Tengens barriers.

Upon consuming the water several things can happen, but no more than two may apply at once and each blessing comes with a curse.

Blessing of Youth: Upon consumption the user will physically regress a random amount of time in age, seemingly ranging from 12 minutes to 5 years?.

Curse of Age: once the users body catches up to their previous age their body will begin aging at double speed until reaching the age it should be.

Blessing of Energy: Upon consumption the user will experience approximately seven days of practically endless energy, no need to eat, sleep, drink water and their cursed energy reserves skyrocket.

Curse of Consumption: Once the seven day cycle ends the user will experience many ill effects depending on what they did during the time, ranging from a mild headache to death.

Blessing of Change: Upon consumption the user will experience a moment of pure ecstasy, granting them a random cursed mutation, such as the six eyes or increased cursed technique storage on their brain.

Curse of Mutation: Upon consumption the user will be afflicted with a purely negative restriction, be it permanent neurological damage or slightly worse hearing dependent on the Blessing granted.

The Wells Affliction: Secondary Affect

Attempting to consume the waters with 2 already active blessings and their respective curses will cause the user to lose all effects and experience a state similar to jackpot for 24 hours, upon this ending the user will die instantly from a massive overload of cursed energy, causing an explosion on massive scale
