What is domain extension
In the world of Jujutsu Kaisen Domain Expansion, the most powerful technique that can be used through cursed energy, is a complete game changer and left most readers and viewers feeling embarrassed when first introduced to it. Only special grade spirits and extremely skilled jujutsu sorcerers can fully utilize this technique.
The fundamentals surrounding this technique involve an environment constructed with cursed energy and manifested through a cursed technique. When a domain extension is triggered by a user, a spherical aura encapsulates its opponents. Climbing the walls of a domain expansion is almost impossible.
In the domain, the owner's strength is enhanced by the environment, giving him access to additional techniques or improved versions of old ones. Any technique used by the owner is a guaranteed hit for his opponent.
If the expansion is incomplete and untechniqued, the domain function may be considerably lower. Although the caster's technique never misses the opponent, the opponent can use their own cursed energy to absorb the attack as a countermeasure.
The only viable countermeasure is to launch your own domain extension, in which case it is the stronger domain that overwrites the weaker.
Spoiler alert: this article has covered the majority of the manga section. So if anime only fans don't want to be spoiled, you better leave here.
Different types of domain extension
Basically, there are three types of domain expansion: mortal, non-mortal, and incomplete domains.
Ranking the 12 domain extensions in Jujutsu Kaisen
12) Chimera Shadow Garden
- User: Megumi Fushiguro
- Type: Incomplete Domain
Chimera Shadow Garden is a domain extension launched by . This technique, although still incomplete, surrounds the entire area with thick, flowing shadows. Granting the user the ability to create multiple Shikigami and allowing them to manipulate all available shadows.
This unique domain expansion allowed Megumi to fake her death in battle against her opponent and gain the upper hand over him, leading to Megumi's victory.
Using this domain extension provides a significant boost to Megumi's inherent abilities, allowing her to create multiple Nue. Megumi finished her fight against the Finger Bearer by amplifying her Ten Shadows Technique to hide in the Spirit Shadow and being able to annihilate him using Divine Dog: Totality.
11) Unnamed Domain of the Smallpox Deity
- User: Smallpox Deity
- Type: Lethal Domain
The smallpox deity is a cursed spirit proportioned to human size. The curse's upper body is covered in light-colored hair, which covers the majority of its face and back. It has two large tusks as well as sharp teeth in its mouth. On the other end of the hair, Smallpox Deity has a tail with dark triangular patterns.
When levitating, the tail is connected to a sphere that forms the curse's lower body. Additionally, Smallpox Deity has two muscular arms covered in pox bumps. Being a registered spirit, the Smallpox Deity possesses extremely rare powers. It first appears when he summons it to fight with .
A special quality spirit, it has the ability to use domain expansion, this particular expansion is known as Graveyard Domain.
This particular technique can be used by creating hand signs with one's finger, instantly trapping one's opponent inside. This is a graveyard-themed area that suits the cursed spirit's abilities. Domain initiation results in a certain blow to the opponent that can result in death if the conditions are right.
Another technique used by this cursed spirit is the graveyard technique. This particular ability traps the user's opponents in a grave, by lowering the left fist into the right hand the user summons a tombstone which crushes the grave into the ground.
There is a 3 second timer, if after the 3 seconds the target is still in the grave they are immediately covered in smallpox and die. Definitely worthy of being featured as one of Jujutsu Kaisen's strongest domain expansions.
10) Time Cell Moon Palace
- User: Naoya Zenin
- Type: Lethal Domain
Time Cell Moon Palace is the domain extension used by . However, he only uses his domain extension after being transformed into a vengeful spirit. Naoya's domain operates on the cursed technique inherited from the Zenin clan: projection sorcery, as well as the barrier it creates to manifest pocket space.
In this area, the environment transforms into a black void with a fleshy path connecting the user and targets. A single huge eye also appears behind the user.
Working on the same principle as Projection Sorcery, this domain focuses on the 24FPS rule. Anyone who does not move according to the 24FPS rule instantly activates the automatic domain access function. Cuts and gashes begin to appear all over the target's body if they fail to meet the requirements of the 24 FPS rule.
A terrifying feature of this domain is that it attacks every cell in the target's body, eventually causing them to collapse and bleed. Forcing movement in this area also causes the decapitation of an appendix.
9) Fatal sentence
- User: Hiromi Higuruma
- Type: Non-lethal Domain
It is the only non-lethal area in the series. Deadly Sentencing is used by lawyer Hiromi Higurum who becomes a participant and has his cursed technique awakened by Kenjaku. This domain manifests a courtroom where the user and the target stand on opposite sides.
A Shikigami called Judgeman appears behind the user and is the one who judges the target's crimes. If the target is found guilty, the judge announces the punishment.
There are many scenarios throughout this entire ordeal, but we will ignore them for now as this area is not lethal to the target. And that is why it occupies the last position although it is a complex area.
8) Deadly Bet in Slow Motion
- User: Kinji Hakari
- Type: Lethal Domain
Each realm of Jujutsu Kaisen is unique, but the realm of almost falls into the ridiculous category. Named Idle Death Gamble, this area is a mixture of the gambling game pachinko and a romantic manga called Private Pure Love Train.
The field is extremely complicated, with the simulation of the manga playing in the background while each scenario decides which characters appear on the pachinko.
However, if we have to summarize briefly, we will say that this area is highly dependent on the user's luck.
Although Hakari is an expert in hand-to-hand combat and claims that he uses his skills to try his luck, this does not appear to be true. In fact, such a domain would be completely useless against any powerful opponent with a domain extension. That's why he's here at the bottom of the barrel.
7) Captivating Skandha Horizon
- User: Dagon
- Type: Lethal Domain
Unlike Megumi's Chimera Shadow Garden, Captivating Skandha's Horizon is rather docile and the target is unaware of the impending strike. The opponent is stuck in an area where they are repeatedly hit by the Shikigamis.
The domain guarantees one hundred percent accuracy ensuring that the opponent is totally demolished. Only a highly skilled shaman, mentally and physically trained, is able to withstand the constant blows.
It is still unclear where Dagon may have developed this extension, but he may have used it when he was just a cursed womb.
The expansion originates when a seal forms on Dagon's belly, releasing an environment that resembles a tropical palm beach surrounded by palm forests on one side of the shore and an endless ocean on the other. other.
Another technique used by Dagon was Death Swarm, which involved him releasing a swarm of fish-like Shikigami that begin attacking the target upon manifestation, and the swarm begins to consume his target.
6) Self-embodiment of perfection
- User: Mahito
- Type: Lethal Domain
This domain expansion is the manifestation of Mahito, one of the main antagonists of Jujutsu Kaisen who joins forces with Geto for the eradication of humanity and the replacement of cursed spirits with human beings.
He first developed this technique during a near-death experience while fighting Yuji and . Death inspired him to be able to fully utilize this ability and amplify his powers. His domain consists of a vast black environment that brings Mahito's targets to him in a giant hand clenched together to resemble a flower.
He can manifest this area using hand signs via small hands inside his mouth. The domain increases the effectiveness of Mahito's Idle Transfiguration technique and ensures to hit the target's soul with every hit.
The only downside is that he has to hit the target's soul every time, the only time he didn't succeed was against Yuji because Sukuna is clearly more powerful than Mahito.
5) Iron Mountain Coffin
- User: Jogo
- Type: Lethal Domain
This domain extension is the only technique of Jogo, a one-eyed spirit with black teeth. The upper half of his head is a volcano that erupts when he is angry. The environment Jogo creates when he uses this technique resembles the inside of an active volcano.
The entire surface is surrounded by lava and any normal human, upon entering, would immediately succumb to the high temperatures within. Iron Coffin Mountain allows Jogo to hit all of his targets with complete precision, which he ultimately had to use as a precaution against Gojo's Infinity.
4) Triple Affliction
- User: Yorozu
- Type: Lethal Domain
Used by the Cursed Spirit Yorozu who took over Tsumiki Fushiguro's body, Triple Affliction is a domain expansion technique. This domain creates an empty space around the user and opponent with nothing but huge mushroom-like appendages floating around.
The person locked in this domain by Yorozu will surely be struck by its perfect sphere. A perfect sphere theoretically cannot exist. It has no contact zone, but therefore creates unlimited pressure. According to Yorozu, if he were hit by the Perfect Sphere, the fight would end in an instant. This means that it contains immense destructive power.
However, Yorozu never gets the chance to attack Sukuna with his Perfect Sphere in his domain. Before he can do this, Sukuna summons Mahoraga with Megumi's Cursed Technique and shatters Yorozu's domain, then kills her for good.
We put Triple Affliction at number 4 because even though Yorozu can't stand up to Sukuna, she is a very powerful cursed spirit and her techniques will be difficult for other Jujutsu wizards to deal with. And given that Sukuna needs to summon Mahoraga to defeat his domain, we can safely assume that this is a top-tier domain expansion.
3) Uterine profusion
- User: Kenjaku
- Type: Lethal Domain
Kenjaku's Domain is a very unique domain expansion in Jujutsu Kaisen because unlike most domains, it has no barrier. There is only one other known domain with the same property: the Malevolent Sanctuary of Sukuna. However, unlike the Sukuna Domain, it is unclear whether the Kenjaku Domain also has a binding vow or how much area it covers.
Kenjaku uses his Womb Profusion against Yuki Tsukumo and Tengen. His domain erects a pillar composed of Cursed Spirits. The pillar looks sinister with the faces of the cursed spirits facing outwards. The faces of the Cursed Spirits let out powerful breaths at a certain gesture from Kenjaku's hands.
The pillar's breath is very destructive, capable of fatally wounding the target and throwing them away. Even a special grade Jujutsu wizard like Yuki cannot match his power. And that's proof enough of his strength and why he's in third place.
Another advantage it has in its favor is the absence of a barrier. As Sukuna demonstrated in the recent chapter, a barrier-free domain has a certain advantage that makes it so powerful.
2) Unlimited vacuum
- User: Satoru Gojo
- Type: Lethal Domain
Unlimited Void is one of the strongest domain expansions seen so far in Jujutsu Kaisen. It is used by our very cool sensei, . He is not only Yuji's coolest mentor and the strongest sensei at TMCT College, but also the most powerful living wizard in existence.
We first see him use it against Jogo's coffin of Iron Mountain and it dispelled Jogo's domain in just a few seconds. The environment created by this domain is a literal void that takes its target to the very center of the universe.
Being introduced to endless information, the target sees and feels everything without seeing and feeling everything at once, petrifying the target with ultimate knowledge and slowly facing possible death.
Only the caster and the person it hits are unaffected. While cursed spirits can still survive in the domain for a set period of time, a normal human would succumb much more quickly since 2 seconds in the domain is equivalent to 2 months outside the domain. Making it the most powerful domain extension ever created.
1) Malicious Sanctuary
- User: Ryomen Sukuna
- Type: Lethal Domain
Malevolent Shrine is the domain expansion of , a legendary cursed spirit who hails the epithet King of Curses. He is considered the greatest threat in Jujutsu Kaisen, currently residing in the body of our protagonist, Yuji Itadori.
The environment for this expansion takes the form of a Buddhist shrine which has been disheveled to enshrine Sukuna. It first appeared when Sukuna used it against a Fingerwielder.
The sanctuary is covered with horns on which skulls hang at each corner. With bull-shaped skulls hanging from either side of the mouth.
This technique is different from other domain extensions because it does not create a separate space with a barrier. For this reason and other factors, it is known as a divine technique because it has the ability to realize one's inner realm without barrier. A binding vow is formed by allowing an escape route.
The effective impact area is 200m, which can be reduced to 140m for more accurate results. Sukuna can take down the shrine at will to unleash a barrage of attacks on anyone within the radius. Making Sukuna the number one antagonist with the highest domain expansion in Jujutsu Kaisen.
These were all the domain expansions in Jujutsu Kaisen. Many powerful characters like Kusakabe and have yet to demonstrate domain expansion. I hope we get to see them as the story progresses.
Do small things with lots of love.
