Mahoraga: powers and abilities

Divergent Eight-Handled Sword Sila Divine General Mahoraga is the strongest and most indomitable Shikigami of the Ten Shadows Technique. No one in the history of technology has succeeded in exorcising Shikigami. New user Megumi Fushiguro summons Mahoraga for the first time in Shibuya, where Mahoraga faces .

The user can summon Mahoraga for an exorcism by chanting the incantation: "With this treasure, I summon..." People other than the user can also participate in the exorcism, but if the user dies, the exorcism stops and Mahoraga disappears.

As mentioned before, Mahoraga is the most powerful Shikigami out there, and there is a reason why no one has successfully mastered Shikigami in the history of the technique. The Shikigami has an imposing humanoid form full of raw physical strength capable of countering Sukuna and Gojo.

Adaptability

However, what makes Mahoraga so dangerous and why his power is considered to be on the same level as Six Eyes and Limitless is Mahoraga's adaptability. The Shikigami can adapt to any natural phenomena it experiences, whether physical attacks or cursed techniques. Each time the Shikigami is hit by an attack, the wheel above its head spins once, and each time the wheel spins, it gradually adapts to the attack until it s completely accustomed to the attack.

When Mahoraga confronts Sukuna in Shibuya, he is initially overwhelmed by Sukuna's Dismantle, but once he adapts to the technique, Dismantle becomes useless against him. The same goes for Gojo's in Shinjuku.

The only way to defeat Mahoraga is to destroy him in one hit or at least before he fully adapts his attack. However, this can be difficult to achieve because the Shikigami is very physically strong. Sukuna is only able to defeat Mahoraga by relentlessly slashing the Shikigami with his malicious shrine.

Rika: powers and abilities

Rika is a special quality vengeful curse spirit attached to Yuta Okkotsu. The cursed spirit watches over the boy and kills everyone who is mean to him, causing several deaths in Yuta's school. Due to her presence, Yuta is sentenced to a secret execution until Gojo gives her a chance to become a student at Tokyo Jujutsu High.

The Rika Curse was created when Yuta's childhood friend, Rika Orimoto, allegedly cursed him at the time of his death. However, it was later discovered that it was not Rika who cursed Yuta but the opposite. The curse was finally broken after Yuta confessed his feelings for her and promised his heart and soul to her during his fight against .

Although the curse was lifted and the Rika curse disappeared, it reappeared later, it is no longer a vengeful curse. Rika is one of the most powerful curses in the series, called the Queen of Curses by Geto.

Cursed Technique: Copy

Due to her humanoid appearance which grants her exceptional physical prowess and her use of raw cursed energy, Rika does not often need to use a cursed technique. When she does, it's the same as Yuta's. Like her beloved Yuta, Rika also uses the Copy Technique which allows her to replicate other cursed techniques.

During the fight against Geto, Rika summoned a megaphone with the symbol of snakes and fangs which had the same curse speech ability as the Inumaki family. While fighting against and , Yuta copied Uro's Sky Manipulation and Dhruv Lakkadwala's Shikigami.

It is unknown if Rika can also use these copied techniques, but given that she can use Cursed Speech, it can be assumed that she can use them as well.

Mahoraga against Rika: who is stronger?

Now that we've seen their individual powers and abilities, it begs the question of who is stronger in Mahoraga vs. Rika. If they fight, it will be close because both are physically very strong and fast. They can counter each other blow by blow. At first, Rika can overwhelm Mahoraga with her raw cursed energy which is destructive enough to crush special quality curses in seconds.

However, the longer the fight goes on, the more Mahoraga will begin to gain the advantage. Her adaptability power will help her get used to each of Rika's moves after just one or two hits, since none of Rika's attacks are too complicated. Once Mahoraga adapts to Rika's movements, it's a losing battle for her.

So, in our opinion, if there is a Mahoraga vs. Rika fight, Mahoraga will win in the end. To more clearly explain how we came to this conclusion, we'll compare them across every aspect of a fight, including strength, ability, and regeneration.

Based on strength and agility

As previously mentioned, Mahoraga and Rika have extraordinary strength and agility. Every time Rika fought an opponent, she was overwhelming with her power. Even when fighting Geto's Uzumaki, she destroyed many curses after unleashing her full power.

Mahoraga, on the other hand, fought against two of Jujutsu Kaisen's strongest characters: Sukuna and Gojo. In both fights, Mahoraga displayed exceptional strength and agility, meeting Sukuna and Gojo blow for blow.

While Rika is undoubtedly very strong and fast, we'll have to give this round of Mahoraga vs. Rika to Mahoraga only because the opponents he's fought are so overwhelming in power that countering them is proof enough of the Shikigami's physical prowess .

Based on capabilities

When it comes to abilities, their true difference becomes obvious. Rika is a cursed spirit and has incredible regeneration and a very useful cursed technique. Copying is a simple but versatile technique that gives him and Yuta a lot of advantages in fights.

But Mahoraga's adaptability is an asset both for it and for its user. His ability to adapt to all natural phenomena makes him one of the most dangerous opponents in Jujutsu Kaisen and if he comes into conflict with Rika, he will adapt to the cursed spirit soon enough before destroying her. So this turn of Mahoraga against Rika also goes to Mahoraga.

Conclusion

We have reached the end of our Mahoraga vs. Rika discussion. Mahoraga is the ultimate Shikigami in existence and he greatly aided Sukuna during his fight against Gojo . In fact, it was thanks to Mahoraga that Sukuna survived Gojo's last Hollow Purple.

Rika, on the other hand, has yet to fight opponents like Sukuna or Gojo, so her full potential is still unexplored. But given that she's attached to Yuta, it's safe to say that we'll soon get to see Rika in all her glory. Until we do, Mahoraga will be considered the strongest in the Mahoraga vs. Rika fight.

Do small things with lots of love.
