Domain Expansions in Jujutsu Kaisen

What is a Domain Expansion?

  • A sorcerer's mental landscape serving as their base for curse technique.
  • Uses cursed energy to expand beyond the brain, creating a closed environment.
  • Requires a hand signal to activate, varies from user to user.
  • Domains differ based on the user's mentality and personality.
  • Clash of domains results in the more refined domain winning.
  • Post-domain, sorcerers can't use curse techniques for a short period but can still use cursed energy and anti-domain techniques (e.g., Simple Domain).
  • Types: Lethal, Non-lethal, and Barrierless domains.

Types of Domains

  1. Lethal Domains
    • Amplifies curse technique, ensuring a sure-hit effect.
    • Examples: Coffin of the Iron Mountain, Infinite Void.
  2. Non-lethal Domains
    • Easier to construct, focusing on utility.
    • Embed rules within the curse technique.
    • Examples: Deadly Sentencing, Idle Death Gambit.
  3. Barrierless Domains
    • No outer wall but retain the sure-hit effect.
    • Examples: Malevolent Shrine, Womb Profusion.
