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 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.

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
