Domain Expansion in Jujutsu Kaisen

domain expansion the Pinnacle of Jiu Jitsu sorcery and today we're going to talk about everyone that has appeared in Jiu Jitsu Kaizen so far so that you can get a better understanding of how they work but first I want to do a brief overview of what a domain expansion is because it's probably not as straightforward as you think a domain is essentially a sorcerer's mental landscape that they are born with and it serves as their base for their curse technique when a domain is expanded the sorcerer is essentially using cursed energy to expand that landscape past their brain they then use a barrier to create a closed environment that is entirely their curse technique each domain requires a hand signal to activate and this varies user to user these domains also differ person to person as they are dependent on the user's mentality and personality so even if two people have the same technique they might not have the same domain if two sourcers create domains at the same time it starts a clash of domains and in this case the most refined domain will win out after a sorcerer uses their domain they are unable to use their curse technique for a short period of time however in this time period they can still use cursed energy in general including reverse curse technique and anti-domain techniques such as simple domain or falling Blossom of emotion in general there are two types of domains lethal and non-lethal lethal are probably what you think of when you think of a domain expansion they give the user enhanced combat abilities by amplifying their curse technique and guaranteeing that any curse techniques used in the domain will hit this is often considered the sure hit effect or can't miss effect non-lethal domains are generally more unique by making a domain non-lethal it becomes easier to construct creating power for utility as everyone within the domain must follow a set of rules that is embedded in the curse technique there is a third less prevalent version of domains and that is barrierless domains only a couple of characters in this show are capable of summoning burialist domains in both cases they are lethal domains that retain the sure hit effect despite not having an outer wall at this point in time we don't know a lot about these domains but they are generally considered even more powerful than domains with a barrier it's worth noting that if a burialist technique and a barrier technique are created at the same time they can co-exist but only if the domains are equally refined with all that out of the way we can finally get into the actual domains we will be going in the order that domains are introduced with the exception of sukuna as his domain is introduced in the very first episode but it's not explained until much later on so let's get started with jogo's domain coffin of the Iron Mountain coffin of the Iron Mountain is a lethal domain it encloses the user and the Target in the interior of a volcano with Magma spouting out of the floor the heat in this domain on its own is enough to kill the average Jiu Jitsu sorcerer in this domain jogo has the ability to control all the rocks and magma as well which allows him to create his sure hit effect the name comes from the Legend of the nine mountains and eight Seas from ancient Indian cosmology the legend speaks of Mount sumero which is surrounded by eight rings of golden mountains the ninth mountain is made out of iron and it sits at the edge of the world our next domain is infinite void and it is the domain belonging to Gojo infinite void has an environmental effect much like coffin of the Iron Mountain victims of this domain are forced to absorb infinite information this overwhelms the victim completely immobilizing them while this effect does no physical damage to the Target it does do damage to the brain if the victim is subjected to it without anti-domained measures the only way to negate this effect without an anti-domain measure is to touch Gojo himself as anyone he makes contact with is not affected in the manga we see goju draw a domain for just 0.2 seconds this basically applies the effects of the domain to all within the radius without fully forming a barrier during his fight with sukune we learned that Gojo also has the ability to change the conditions of his domain at will we see him change the hardness of his barrier and the size of it making it extremely small and extremely large during this fight we also learned that it is possible to use reverse curse technique to restore a curse technique during domain burnout but doing so damages the part of the brain responsible for curse techniques this prevents the sorcerer from casting a new domain and is unclear if this effect is permanent next is self-embodiment of perfection the domain belonging to mojito unlike the first to which of environmental effects self-embodiment of perfection just increases the effectiveness of Mojito's technique however due to the nature of his technique this makes it one of the most dead domains against humans this domain does force mojito to touch the soul of anyone inside but that's really only a negative when he's facing Yuji interestingly this is the only domain that requires two pairs of hands to activate this could be part of the reason that mejito was able to summon his domain with such little experience as Jiu Jitsu is an art of subtraction so by adding an additional hand sign the ability got easier to create next we have megami's domain expansion Chimera Shadow Garden this domain is a pseudo-barrierless domain as megumi has two's environmental walls in the place of a barrier in order to cast it so technically it is an incomplete domain but we're still going to talk about it Chimera Shadow Garden floods an area with the Shadows from the 10 Shadow techniques this Shadow can be used for a multitude of purposes but the main one is summoning shikigami the user can also create Shadow versions of themselves with the fluid and amplify their cursed energy to deceive opponents but where this ability gets really wild is the manga during the Shibuya incident it is shown that the Shadows from this domain can be used to poke holes in the barriers of other domains this requires a huge amount of concentration and cursed energy but it creates an Escape Route and prevents the activation of the sure hit effect from the other domain later in the manga during megumi's fight with Reggie star we see yet another aspect of this domain the weight of any items megumi has in the shadows must be beared by him while the domain is open it is also during this fight that we learned that the Shadows themselves are basically an endless Abyss in which non-users of the technique can drown to be honest it's kind of hard to tell how much of this is just 10 shadows and how much is restricted to just the domain kinda shows just how flexible this technique is next we have the smallpox deity listen I know no one cares about this one but the title says every domain so we gotta cover every domain luckily this one's pretty simple the domain expansion of the smallpox deity traps the victim in a coffin and buries them underground it then drops its innate technique on top of the coffin if the victim cannot Escape by the count of three they will get smallpox and die now let's move on to a more interesting one horizon of the captivating skanda this is the domain for the disaster Spirit Dagon despite being a generally column domain this domain is is still considered lethal especially with its sure hit death swarm which launches a swarm of shikigami to its targets the shikigami are not visible to the victims and as such they only appear when they start to devour their flesh this ability is very effective even against strong Sorcerers as we saw it single-handedly hold back nobito nonami and Maki however for this short hit effect to be sustained the barrier of the domain must also be sustained this domain also serves as the meeting place for the disaster cruises and kinjaku pre-shibuya it is unclear if this domain was constantly being sustained by Dagon where free only cast it when the domain was necessary if it is the former it is also unclear why he was able to sustain it for such a long time next we have the first barrierless technique malevolent Shrine which of course belongs to sakuna malevolent Trend can cover a radius of up to 200 meters but sukuna can make it smaller if he wants to this is usually done to concentrate the power of the domain or to just avoid slashing something when the shirt hit is activated everything within the range of the domain is hit by Kunis 2 slashing techniques cleave and dismantle zukuna can even Target which techniques he wants to use on what so things with cursed energy will get hit by Cleaves and things with no cursed energy will get hit with dismantle this will continue indefinitely until sakuna makes the domain disappear or until sakuna is too damaged to sustain the domain it is worth noting that the burialist quality of the domain can be mitigated if an opponent with a barrier domain expands their domain larger than sukuna's radius and then shrinks their domain this is likely because the barrier of a barrier domain does not identify whose domain it is containing but that's just speculation much like Gojo sukuna can also change the conditions of his domain as well via a binding vowel and also just like Gojo he is unable to currently use his domain due to brain damage but it is unclear if this is a permanent effect next we have the first kind of complicated domain it's deadly sentencing the domain of higuruma deadly sentencing is a non-lethal domain that puts its users in a courtroom with higuruma in the role of prosecutor and the opponent in the role of the defendant the domain is imbued with a legal based technique and it centers around the shiku gummy judgment in this domain judgment knows all information about the prosecutor and defendant but that information is not shared with either sorcerer this is the general sequence of events that happens within the domain once it is cast first judgment will announce the charges against the defendant which are actual crimes possibly committed by the defendant then the accusation will be reviewed and the defendant is given one chance to defend their case they have three options stay silent confess to the crime or deny the crime the defendant's goal is to prove their innocence by dispelling all doubt of their innocence and this can be done by any means necessary then higurumo will attempt to rebuttal the defendant's statement this is done with evidence delivered to the prosecutor by judgment this evidence is not necessarily conclusive and it will not be shared with the defendant once both parties have made their statements judgment will deliver a verdict if the defendant is found guilty they will be punished in accordance to the harshness of the crime so far we have seen two possible punishments the first is confiscation which prevents the defendant from using their curse technique if the defendant has no curse technique they will instead be prevented from using cursed energy in general the other possibility is confiscation plus death penalty this enacts the effects of confiscation and gives the prosecutor The Executioner's sword which kills anyone that is cut by it without exception this is the general flow of the domain but there is also a potential fifth action which is the defendant requesting a retrial this can only be done if the defendant is found guilty without an open confession and can reverse any effects enacted on them it's time for the one you've all been waiting for idle death Gambit from Hikari this is a non-lethal domain based on a real Pachinko machine and its theme song private pure love train in this domain hakuri aims to get a jackpot by lining up three of the same symbols which are different characters from private Pure Love Train there's Aya Sato sayuri amangawa Yumi asagiri hirokato Suzuka shizimu sayaka Yamaguchi and Yuki Yamaguchi these are honestly not that important to the domain upon casting the domain all the rules of the game are transferred into the opponent's brain using the domain's sure hit effect because because the domain is non-lethal it is able to be constructed without much effort and it can also be activated in under 0.2 seconds when the domain starts the game is in normal mode which has a neutral stage once combat begins Hikari can summon three different visual effects shutter doors Reserve balls and consecutive events both shutter doors and Reserve balls are offensive attacks with shutter doors being summonable to crush opponents and Reserve balls acting as a ranged attack consecutive effects basically reflects damage on Hikari back to the opponent but none of these are the actual main uses of the visual effects akari must summon one of these three visual effects to advance to irichi scenario which is where they roll for jackpot happens each of these three visual effects has three different colors indicating the likeliness of a jackpot green has the lowest likeliness where it has the middle and gold has the highest for consecutive effects this is indicated by the multiplier there is also a rainbow colored indicator that guarantees a jackpot for consecutive events this is a times 4 multiplier while he Curry can choose which of these three effects he wants to summon he cannot control which color they are making it entirely locked dependent once a visual effect is summoned there are four different righteous scenarios the game can advance to each one has a different chance of hitting a jackpot the first is Transit card Richie where a Fuki passes through the station gate and gets to work on time Hikari hits a jackpot this one has a very low chance of succeeding the second is seat struggle Richie this one has a moderate chance of success but we have no other information on it yet as we've not seen it the third is potty emergency reachy in this one hero must reach the shin yuriga Oka station without pissing themselves and if they do Hikari gets a jackpot and the final reichi is Friday Night final train where a fumi doesn't board her train Hikari hits the jackpot this Richie has the highest chance of success of the four if akari does not hit a jackpot the stage reverts back to the start and the cycle will restart until hakari hits a jackpot or runs out of chances to win each spin that a jackpot is not one the number of possible spins decreases if a jackpot is hit Hikari gains unlimited cursed energy and automatic reverse cursed energy which can process any and all injuries making him basically unkillable for 4 minutes and 11 seconds this time is specifically to match up with the song admiring you and when a jackpot is hit this song will play out loud around Hikari after the song ends his cursed energy returns to normal levels but at this point his curse technique will already have been replenished so he will be able to cast his domain again and restart the cycle again the conditions from the previous game do carry over to the next and the rule from the previous round also infects the environment for the next round if akari hits jackpot on odd numbers the domain will have better odds in a neutral state if he hits the jackpot on even numbers the domain will start with faster spins which I believe decreases the probability on top of that there is also the chance the domain will start in a hidden probability which has a better chance of hitting jackpot that was a lot but now that I've said it it doesn't actually seem that complicated anyway we still have three domains to cover so let's move to curse noise domain time cell Moon Palace time cell Moon Palace is a lethal domain that takes the projection sorcery technique to the next level its sure hit effect launches animation frames into the neck of the victim forcing them to move in the 24 frame per second rule present in the technique this domain heightens the Precision of the 24 frame per second rule to the point that it can even Target individual cells forcing some to stop and others to not this causes tons of small cuts to appear all over the victim's body and also causes them to suffer internal injuries as well this immobilizes the victim in the process as moving without abiding by the rule can cause limbs to be severed completely next we have konjaku's domain expansion womb profusion this is the other barrierless domain but we don't know as much about it we know it was able to create a strong force enough to Gravely injure Yuki we don't know exactly what that was it seems like it was related to anti-gravity system but I'm not 100 sure because it wouldn't make sense for konjaku's domain to be tied to someone else's technique regardless this domain is extremely refined as it was able to quickly dismantle simple domain which was invented with the express purpose of countering domains between this and tengen struggled to dismantle the domain it is that burialist domains are more effective against anti-domain techniques but this is kind of contradicted by the Gojo and tsukuna fight as we see Gojo use a ton of anti-domain techniques that seem pretty effective against sakuna's burialist domain but also that's Gojo so he's probably the exception not the rule our last domain expansion is unfortunately another one we don't know a ton about it's yosuru's domain three-fold Affliction as far as we know this is a simple lethal domain that guarantees yosuru's constructs will hit their target this could be super powerful especially when combined with perfect spear but we never get to see this potential realized because well she dies also what's with KK making a bunch of domains based on female genitalia first there's time cell Moon Palace which is pretty suspicious then there's womb profusion and also this one which is a bunch of unique hanging things anyway that's all the domain expansions into Jitsu Kaizen if you're curious why I didn't talk about Yuda uro or Ryu it's because we never got to see what their domains actually did we just know they have access to use them if you have any questions be sure to let me know in the comments down below and I will
