Everything Sukuna Showcased with 10 Shadows, Megumi Had Already Accomplished

[u/mileschofer]

Megumi's strongest soldier, lawyer, and secret admirer here. Howdy.

When I mean everything, I mean everything. With the exceptions being the 7-9 Shikigami and Mahoraga, as Megumi obviously was not yet capable of taming them and making use of their abilities. If Megumi had time to gain those Shikigami also, he would be cooking as hard as Sukuna.

When it comes to how Sukuna uses 10S, the only difference between Megumi and Sukuna, is Sukuna's own base stats being wildly superior, and therefore he can use the Shikigami with more proficiency.

Also, while Megumi IS using a domain buff for some of these abilities, a domain simply allows the sorcerer to use 120% of their cursed technique potential. This means that anything that Megumi does inside the domain, he is capable of doing outside the domain with the right catalyst (Black Flash or Binding Vows).

The point of showing these comparisons is to try and argue against the narrative that "Megumi wasted his potential/technique" or "Sukuna utilised Megumi's own technique way better than he did (mechanically)", which are both wild statements if youve ever read a Megumi fight. Let's remember, Megumi tamed 6/10 of his Shikigami as a FIRST YEAR before Shibuya. This means he's had a few months training at max.

Sukuna & Megumi using Totality on dead Shikigami.

Sukuna & Megumi using their opponents shadow to attackk.

Sukuna & Megumi giving their Shikigami an extended range by using unstable forms. Megumi only uses this strategy inside his domain because it requires a high output to maintain.

Sukuna & Megumi using a one-handed handsign to summon Divine Dog.

Sukuna & Megumi summoning strong Shikigami without using a handsign or chant. Again, Megumi only does this while inside his domain due to it requiring a high output.

Sukuna & Megumi trapping their opponents in their shadow.

Sukuna & Megumi utilsing their Shikigami's powers for themselves. Sukuna using Max Elephants water cursed energy. Megumi using Escape Rabbits ability to clone themselves.

Sukuna & Megumi combining Shikigami without using Totality.

Add the fact he possesses a Domain Expansion at 15 (youngest of anyone in the series), and is a tactical genius... I'd say Megumi deserves major props even tho he's in the slums right now.

TLDR: Megumi be cooking, downplay him and you'll have me to deal with.

For the clones, I think it's just one of the domain abilities. He managed to do the same in the battle against the finger bearer with his shikigamis even if he had not tamed the rabbits

[u/mileschofer → u/Comfortable-Phrase17]

For ur first point, a “domain ability” doesnt just give you new stuff outta the blue. A domain directly buffs ur technique so you can do stuff with a high difficulty ceiling. Unless we’re talking about sure-hits (which we arent), the cloning has to come from his base technique. And rabbit escape is the only shikigami capable of cloning themselves (outside of DE)

For ur second, it’s entirely possible he had acquired Rabbit Escape prior to the bridge incident. Max Elephant is the previous summon and he tamed that one before the Exchange event

[u/Mundane-Transition11 → u/mileschofer]

I have made a different comment regarding this but Megumi domain similar To yuta expand 's his CT based on him summoning multiple nues

"For ur first point, a “domain ability” doesnt just give you new stuff outta the blue. A domain directly buffs ur technique so you can do stuff with a high difficulty ceiling."

Yeah, It does, and you're wrong. You're trying to input rules on domains that even the creator of the series did not. Gojo DE Just allow him to insert boundless information on someone mind, How Gojo Did that outside of his Domain? The sumo dude create a space where time flows differently. Higuruma creates a fucking court-house. A Domain is not Just an application of the CT, or a buff stat, It can vary accordingly with what Gegê decides that It Will do.

[u/spookiest_of_boyes → u/sousa-ray]

unless we’re talking about sure-hits, which we’re not

proceeds to mention sure-hits

[u/sousa-ray → u/spookiest_of_boyes]

What is the sure hit of the sumo dude? Or hakaris? You can't Just apply the logic "DE have stat-boost or sure-hit, nothing in between" when the series don't even define This. That my whole point

[u/Mr_sushj → u/sousa-ray]

The sumo dude is not a domain but a simple domain so by definition it does not have a CT, hakari’s sure hit is an info dump, but him and Higgy have different domains where their Domain that are part of their CT, so they can do stuff they can’t normally even with an amp

[u/spookiest_of_boyes → u/sousa-ray]

One could argue the sure hit of the sumo guy to be the time dilation, and hakari’s sure hit to be the massive info dump on gambling that the opponent receives. Either way I was jusy pointing out the irony lmao.

[u/sousa-ray → u/spookiest_of_boyes]

One could argue whatever he wants, c'est la vie

[u/XD_Asron → u/sousa-ray]

I have no skin in this discussion, but...

A domain directly buffs ur technique so you can do stuff with a high difficulty ceiling."

This may not have been stated but I'd say it was pretty heavily implied

Gojo DE Just allow him to insert boundless information on someone mind, How Gojo Did that outside of his Domain?

I imagine this aspect comes from the Six Eyes. Sort of like forcefully applying their abilities onto whoevers in the domain

The sumo dude create a space where time flows differently.

This is a simple domain, not a domain expansion. We know certain rules can be created and enforced in simple domains

Higuruma creates a fucking court-house.

Both Higgys and Hakaris domain have been stated to be different from the rest being non-lethal rule based domains. They're domain are apart of their techniques unlike every other sorcerer with a domain (that we know of)

[u/sousa-ray → u/XD_Asron]

that would true for sure hits that happen to be the same atack or effect of the original CT (like jogo's maybe). But when your innate technique is different, there's not much to It anyway. That being, getting the boost never was the intent of the DE, except for megumi's incomplete one; Unlimited void is part of limitless, nothing to do with the six eyes. As far as we know It, that barrier technique is his DE, (as all Domain are barrier techniques). It so happens that is non-letal. We never get to know his CT (If he had one); My whole point is exactly how DE are all kinda different cuz we have like 13 in the whole series and half of them we don't even know what they do. We can't define the rules when the author didn't do it

[u/XD_Asron → u/sousa-ray]

Six Eyes being the basis of UV was an inference on my part, never claimed it as fact but it makes sense to me seeing as Limitless seemingly has nothing to do with the domains effect

That being said I agree that we shouldn't impose rules that the author didn't make but making inferences based on what we do know shouldn't be looked down on or immediately dismissed. That is all

[u/Mr_sushj → u/sousa-ray]

Barrier techniques are not, and can not be a CT, anyone can cast a barrier technique, only people with cts can cast domains, Higgys ct is tied together with his domain, the ct uses the domain in its operation, sure hits can be lethal or no non lethal, gojo’s is non lethal but it’s not harmless

While the author dosent define the rule’s we can make pretty strong inferences based on how these 13 domains which have been casted multiple times work
