A year and a half ago i watched someone do a commentary on the Shibuya incident arc. Heard him read the description of Sukuna's Domain Expansion. That got me into JJK.

Another possible benefit of not having a sure hit lethal effect, is that your expansion might be faster and better at fighting other domains (or at least that’s what I got from Hakari’s descriptions)

[@AntoinneWilliams]

What do you consider more divine: Casting an open domain like Sukuna and Kenjaku or Being able to expand your domain enough to cover an opponent's open domain then enclosing and compressing it to a point which negates their advantage like Gojo did in the 3rd(?) domain clash against Sukuna?

[@xyzdestruction]

You misunderstand what Gojo did, he didn't enclose all of Sukuna's domain he just made his domain smaller so fewer slashes could target the domain to last longer. What Gojo did is akin to painting a masterpiece on a tiny canvas with so much detail you could fit in it.

[@AntoinneWilliams]

​@@xyzdestruction Could be. I was thinking of chapter 228 when Mei Mei said that he enclosed Malevolent Shrine's effective range. The gist of my comment is that Gojo performed an action which served as a viable counter (for a time) to a "divine" ability.

[@m.czandogg9576]

​@@AntoinneWilliams Now I'm gonna have to reread the chapter. I was under the impression that Gojo condensed his domain and this increased its durability.

[@AntoinneWilliams]

@@m.czandogg9576 Let me know if you think I interpreted this incorrectly. I do see the Sukuna was still attacking the domain, so I surely may have.

[@antoneopitts2212]

You both are right

[@deviant315l6]

Now that I think about it megumi’s incomplete domain is similar to an open domain just without the sure hit

[@anonymousan0564]

Do domains make entities invisible to ordinary people, or is it just a sphere?

[@kanemochi_ni_naru]

Sukuna a thousand years of his time Imagine seeing this guy doing a barrier less domain with a sure hit

[@SidKbra]

I wonder if not having a sure hit effect on your domain prevents you from exhausting your cursed technique, since if I recall correctly after Megumi used his domain to invade Dagon's he could still use his technique against Toji. And Hakari's and Higuruma's buffs after using their domains are still part of their technique.

[@Godzillawolf1]

Okay, so here's a question that's been bugging me: While refining Domain Expansion made it more deadly, why did the original varient just...cease to exist? Why did people stop teaching it? I understand why Hollow Wicker Basket was abandoned, in most cases Simple Domain is just better, but with Domain Expansion, it feels like since a lethal technique is so hard to get, the nonlethal, easier to use version would've stuck around and been taught to people still, since only the strongest can use a lethal domain. It feels like maybe it was done to make Domain Expansions to exclusive inuniverse by Jujutsu Society, which wouldn't be out of character, given a lot of really useful techniques are kept locked behind bloodlines. But I'm not sure. Any idea why that happened?

[@Dan-neil]

There's an interpretation that modern domain's will just outright overtake an old-style domain, because they assumedly require more skill to create. Then whenever an old domain would clash with a modern domain it would lose. In which case it became more practical to use techniques like simple domain and falling blossom emotion since you don't need as much cursed energy to just counter another's sure-hit effect. Or another interpretation is that it just became more favored because of it's instant lethality. The heian era, which assumedly created the modern domain, was an era of kill or be killed. You're either the strongest or you're not. You either have sure-hit domains or you have simple domains. If you had an in-between like an old domain, you're neither strong nor weak, You'll win against those inherently weaker than you, and you'll lose to those inherently stronger than you. So the technique became outdated. This is all just my own interpretation though

[@Godzillawolf1]

@@Dan-neilThat's a possible reason, though of course a nonlethal domain would still be a very useful technique against powerful curses and sorcerors that lack a Domain Expansion. IE, a lot of Special Grade Curses don't have Domain Expansions.

[@ompawar4050]

he got one thing wrong. u cant teach domains. its not skill, that u can learn unless u havw talent in jujutsu *jujustu is about individuality, u cant just learn it from someone else. u need talent for that. and in ancient time there was "preference" for domain where rules were enforced. both domain are hard to learn. one domain is not easier to leanr than other. simple domain is made from hollow wicker basket but its not necessarily better in "negating sure hit effect". its telephone vs smartphone. both can be used to call people (negating sure hit) but smartphone offers more function.(bato sword drawing and stuff) i m sure about domain not being gatkeeped by clans bcz there r character who outsdie of clans who know how to do domain expansion. *sukuna ,yoruzu yeah, yoruzu was at clan party but that was after she deFeat certain elite squad and got invitation by clan to be part of it. another evidemce is megumi, megumi just "unlocked " it. while todo having best teacher (yuki)possible couldn't. for earileir chaoter todo is strongest character among students both kyoto and our main trio. u need talent and drive. also u can have domain whichc enforce rules, some CT doesm have lethal effect. take todos CT, its teleportation, ucant really have it as lethal effect. so CT like him have rule based domains.

[@SecondSoulo]

Man for a long time I thought that domain expansions nullify the other person’s curse technique. But I think that was me just misinterpreting the gojo vs jogo scene. When gojo has to block an attack. He didn’t nullify infinity, he just had a sure hit in effect. That’s crazy that Gojo could even react to something that’s as fast as a sure hit.

If everybody has an innate domain, then how would somebody like Choko use her domain if she had one? Afaik, she has no curse technique and just has reverse curse technique. Would that mean she could guaranteed imbue targets with reverse cursed energy inside her domain? But in that case, anybody with RCT would be able to do that

[@ryanshaw8375]

Awesome video. Quick question, if Gojo had seen Sukuna's open air domain in shibuya with his six eyes do you think he would have been able to do one himself post time skip?

[@ryanshaw8375]

@@jacjac7154 for sure. It's still fun to speculate though. What do you think?

[@jacjac7154]

@ryanshaw8375 gojo isn't able to do everything. RCT output is a prime example of this. I think the fact he can't use this could be because he's unable to care for others like he can himself. Depending on whether you accept that theory, him being able to learn open domain becomes more likely cause RCT output seems like the ONLY thing he's outright failed at. It's also possible that open domains require large amounts of knowledge over jujutsu and aren't based on talent. It becomes a lot less likely if this is true.

I'm not sure; I just assumed it was an aspect of the concept of "Infinity". So infinite data goes into your brain.

[@ompawar4050]

DOMAINS = INNATE DOMAIN + BARRIER + SURE HIT EFFECT OF CT. innate domains effect domain expansion, *jogos innate domain burns opponent just by entering it. it's not sure hit effect of his CT. and another variable is, ur interpretation of CT. see megumis domain expansion scene. so due to gojo character bring someone who has everything one could have and still not get what he wants his interpretation of limitless is like that instead of hitting opponents with red or blue so gojos interpretation of limitless includes being info dumped , *infinity being forced in ur brain. given everything but not being able to do anything.

Hey quick question why do only a few sorcerers have open domains? Do they work like simple domains where any sorcerer can learn them or are they specific to certain people?

[@Twisty._.]

You can escape from Open Domain, thats basicaly main reason. Yeah, Domain becomes bit stronger but thats basically all.

[@daunderrated3106]

Kinda like megumi domain where there is no barrier open domain needs physical enclosure to be effective because you can easily leave the area but in case of sukuna his domian effective range is 200m

[@jambunboii4537]

Normal domains apply the technique onto a barrier they make while open domains apply it to the actual space around them, so its kind of like how some people can imagine in perfect detail while others dont see any visual images when they think, some people just arent able to imagine applying the technique onto space itself

[@tungtritrinh1381]

Any one skilled enough can do it. It doesnt specific to anyone.

u just need to have better refinement. if ur refinement is high ur domain will overwrite other domain. but that's close barrier in open domain ur sure hit effect will land upon ur opponent. instead of u getting hit by opponents domain. if refinement is equal u do what gojo and sukuna did. make b.v to turn off sure hit, turn domain smaller. depeding upon situation u just adapt.

[@antoneopitts2212]

I've came up with a theory about clashing domains. Since you are applying your cursed technique to your barrier and gojo has already said that "the more refined domain will DOMINATE THE SPACE" and we already know from shibuya from mahito that opening a domain is a two step process. It's very likely thats whats clashing inside the barriers are the cursed techniques applied to the domain and not the barriers themselves. (Im going to be using spoilers for my other evidence in the replies)

[@antoneopitts2212]

Another reason why I said this is because when gojo's domain gets shattered by sukuna the first thing gojo say's is that " I'm glad that my limitless is the better technique". And then kusakabe confirms that a complex technique like limitless can't be defended against with falling blossom emotion. This would explain why gojo overpowered jogo's domain so easily because jogo's ct is just simple flames so gojo's limitless technique would just overpower jogo's ct that's applied to his barrier.

[@antoneopitts2212]

But someone like sukuna whose domain that does not have a barrier to overpower even if he has a weaker technique should still be able to even out with anyones domain. I also firmly believe that jogo's domain was just a refined as gojo's because jogo also has a maximum technique which is explained to be the strongest move outside of ones domain expansion and is even more rare than a domain. Jogo also is the only character that we've seen that has both a domain AND maximum technique. And thus would also explain why sukuna gives him so much praise when jogo dies.

[@DankSouls37]

Just a small correction, Jogo is *not* the only character which has both an Maximum Technique and a Domain. Kenjaku (and Geto as well) has Maximum Output Uzumaki, Yuta did Maximum Output while copying Jacob's ladder, Gojo has Maximum Output: Lapse Blue, Yuki has Maximum Output Infinite Virtual Mass and I think Mahito also has it with Idle Transfiguration, that whole Pokemon evolution thing he did against Itadori.

[@Zanku11]

Technically it’s the other way around, the ancient sorcerers had more lethal domains due to the time period of war and the “peak of jujutsu sorcery”. That’s why people like kenjaku and Sukuna have both lethal and open barrier domains. In the modern era, people like gojo, hakari, Higaruma, etc have domains that require and or have more complex/ modern rules and techniques in them. Like projection sorcerery is a technique that Gege uses to show the a powerful modern day technique.
