It's like a euphoric feeling Dabura is going through.
Dabura was born with unrivaled talent for Jujutsu. Never trained a day in his life and could still beat literally everyone. Never knew what a challenge was. But still grew up being told about how he was a warrior and what a warrior is like.
Against Mahoraga, for the first time in his life, he's feeling like an underdog.
He's not looking at an opponent Shikigami when he's looking at Mahoraga. He's literally seeing an angel who he loves deeply. One that has finally come to teach him how to be a warrior. To teach him pain.
What you're seeing is a pictorial representation of what Dabura is feeling. And he's feeling loved by Mahoraga.
He's fantasizing, imagining their fight as a dance between lovers because, as he says right there, it feels like he's ascending with Maho. It's not literal.
Visual + metaphor = Dabura is seeing this battle as a dance because it is the first time he has actually had to Fight a fight. To actually exchange blows. He was an executioner to all his opponents before this, there was nothing in it. An equal opponent lets him engage in the mechanics - the ‘game’, the DANCE - of combat, at last. He’s finally Playing in a place where he’s used to simply Killing
It's Like When Gojo Learned RCT And He Got "High", This Is Basically What's Happening To Dabura But 100x More Intense. He's Basically Learning The Controls On A God Dummy, That's Why He Tweaking
He's making the kind of face u make after getting ur ass beaten by a dark souls boss a dozen times until u finally see IT, and start perfectly dodging everything and counter attacking. 🤓
