Explaining Sukuna's Dimensional Slash | Jujutsu Kaisen

[@jawz9455]

I like how this continues the theme of his domain expansion "painting over reality".

[@n4me485]

And of Gojo’s domain which literally “splashes white paint” over his domain. Sorry if this is worded weird but if when you watch his domain it’ll makes more sense, I hope?

[@S20171]

​@@n4me485🤨📸

[@denji3397]

No lmao. Kenjaku has open domain too. This does continue any theme rather just a plot device for gege's fav toy. Like how you think this makes sense though? Sukuna sends slashes which cuts based on the ce output. Thats cleave. Dismantle has a constant ce output for non animate objects. Yuki made a death binding vow to create a small black hole which is still in her ct. While sukuna didn't do a death binding vow but can cut the world which would in theory require at least infinite cursed energy in a binding vow. Gege could have made it so that instead of cutting reality, sukuna can manifest cuts on people's body as a sure hit since he used his domain hand sign enmaten.

[@Gozieaaa]

Yami also has dark cloaked dimensional slash

[@7ronndo]

I like to think Sukuna’s slash also worked because of how the Limitless technique worked. Limitless would always slow something down if Gojo was the target (because he trained it to do so in the hidden inventory arc). So it’s completely plausible that a technique would bypass Limitless if Gojo wasn’t the target.

[@andre51579]

This explanation is spot on ngl

[@343JustMe]

thats exactly what i got from the chapter. it just sounds stupid for sukuna to be able to alter his slash to just cut all of reality itself out of nowhere but it seems it quite literally is a dimensional slash or else there would be no use using it on kashimo and higuruma

[@svenjra]

That's pretty much how it worked. Infinity basically imbues the concept of infinity on the space around Gojo. Sukuna's dimensional slash bypasses infinity by cutting up space itself, and without space, infinity has nothing to work on.

[@343JustMe]

@@svenjra yea but like its just so lame that sukuna can fucking cut existence itself by just saying a chant or using a hand sign, thats like if gojo managed to use hand signs and a chant and limitless suddenly was applicable to other people and he could crush them with it. Its just such a stretch in logic and how jjk has worked so far i wouldve much preferred if gege just utilized the weakness of limitless that was already set up in the first place and let sukuna figure out that if he doesnt target gojo hed be able to bypass infinity

[@svenjra]

@@343JustMe not really. Jjk already has the concept of extension techniques, where the sorcerer stretches the application of their techniques. Megumi created an extension for the 10S that allows temporary fusion, and Nanami also has his own extension for ratio. Sukuna making and extension for his slashes to cut space isn't that farfetched. He's already an expert when it comes to space and dimensions since he created the concept of open domain, and he literally had something to copy from on how to cut space with dismantle. The lame part is Gege's execution of Sukuna's victory against Gojo. Figuratively, no one won in that fight. Gojo got a disrespectful end, Sukuna's reputation got thrown in the trash for how Gege handled the whole thing, the fandom went insane, and Gege lost his credibility as a writer.

[@Causality01]

An interesting detail: The cut that Sukuna uses to perform this 4D cut is the "dismantle", which is a cut made to destroy objects without cursed energy. So he actually aims the cut only at reality, and as a consequence cuts everything that is in the direction of the cut.

[@jonathanhoward1499]

No its cleave, I'm confident

[@Causality01]

@@jonathanhoward1499 He... Literally says "Dismantle" when he launches this technique.

[@-gj3nu]

So he really is cutting a portion of reality, and whatever is within the portion, gets erased. The dismantle takes the shape of a slash so it looks like a cut but if Sukuna just sends a ball of dismantle wouldn’t it just be a better hollow purple?

[@Causality01]

[@robcole1629]

​@ShatteredGlass916 would it not require an infinite amount of power to cut an infinite amount of space?

[@football360_slik]

@@robcole1629that’s because it’s not actually an infinite amount of space. Even though Gojo’s ability is called infinity, he and his bubble is actually just occupying a small point in space. Cutting that space will cut Gojo’s bubble. Which is actually a pseudo infinity and not a real infinity because it exists in a small measurable space.

[@xavierjack391]

I always saw the Gojo slash as Sukuna biding his time while Gojo walked up monologing. During that time, he focused all of his remaining Cursed Energy (he doesn’t use his technique again after killing Gojo until he regains his true form) into the dimensional slash “subtracting” the seals and chants usually necessary to let it off. Which honestly makes the feat even more impressive. As for why he’s chanting and sealing now? Well, that’s just the easier method for him now that he has the extra arms and mouth to do it.

[@Czurcodm]

Great observation, he actually didn't use the ct in Round 2 at all until the final slash and fired it with no incantations or hand sign or even a word. It caught gojo off guard (*I don't think ce accumulates in sukuna's slashes because they are invisible and instantaneous, there's no time for ce to accumulate or anyone to see it accumulating)

[@ceeteeobi9816]

Cool theory but it doesnt really work cause: 1. it is basically stated it was a binding vow 2. it would make the dimensional slash just an amped up dismantle which would not explain why he would need mahoraga in the first place it makes more sense for it to be a regular dismantle ,with a shifted target, space it's self

The binding vow was that in exchange for the first slash having no requirements, all future slashes would have three requirements: • The Chant • The Yama Hand Seal • Manual aiming via a spare hand, which would not have been there if not for the vow Good thing Sukuna has four arms.

[@ryanshaw8375]

Really well explained. Thank you.

[@eatate7669]

Basically Raga adapts to attacks multiple times. After the first adaptation is learned, it continues analyzing and finds a second means of adapting, then a third and so on. Each one is a completely separate method, no 2 adaptions are the same. This was never explained before the fight with Gojo. Also, the Ten shadows user can see and understand each method of adaptation, and if possible, copy them.

[@eatate7669]

Also it isn’t explained how Sukuna targets the world, he just can because Raga could, even tho he lost Ten Shadows after reincarnating 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@Jsc.75]

⁠@@eatate7669that’s my only gripe is it kinda doesn’t make sense as is. If it wasn’t for Maho adapting to limitless there likely wouldn’t be a dimension cutting dismantle. Honestly it would’ve been a bigger flex for sukuna if he showed he could layer different types of cursed techniques/energy. Like how him and higuruma can use domain amp without disabling their techniques

[@Solikap]

@@eatate7669 The reason Sukuna could copy Mahoraga's adaptation isn't because he is Maho's user. It's because Sukuna is a jujutsu genius. By using a binding vow and basing the attack on what Maho did, he replicated the act of cutting everything in a direction, infinity and all. "Cutting the world" thing is just a fancy way of saying it targets everything in a line due to a binding vow.

[@PlayfulCloud3]

@@Solikapso just by a blink of an eye, u get a slash that ignores all defense with no time lag or condition (initially), while gojo uses purple that has immense time lag and hand sign, which is supposed to delete anything and only results on burning sukuna. Does that makes perfect sense to u?Mind u gege cant even explain how to “target the world”. Its just that learned and they could. lazy writing at best

[@samarendra109]

One question! When Gojo was inside Sukuna's Domain his Infinity was turned off due to him activating his Domain prior. So all the cuts of Sukuna were able to reach him. So if Gojo could RCT through all of them, why couldn't he RCT through the dimensional Slash when dimensional Slash is basically a normal slash with infinity turned off.

[@wadelzein5122]

Well, mahoraga already was able to cut gojo with the dimensional slash 1:22 , gojo was still able to heal , but in sukuna's case , sukuna cutting gojo in half stopped CE from going from his lower body (stomach is where CE come from) to his brain (where CT , RCT, DE ... come from) which what you do do stop RCT , or you can just aim for head .

[@hodo385]

Bcuz he can RCT. Gojo comin back baby let’s gooo

[@samarendra109]

@@wadelzein5122 If you remember Gojo was repeatedly to healing his neck when Sukuna was targeting him in the domain. And the goal was the same to stop the RCT flow. If he could handle that I don't understand why he couldn't handle this.

​@samarendra109 Gojo was fully aware of the abuse he was about to recieve so he placed his rct at 100% so as the attack hit he'd be healed. Whereas when the 'defeated' Sukuna on his last legs after losing all his win conditions e.g. domain expansion, and Maharoga(in Gojo's mind) it appeared he was pulling a Mahito by throwing dirt at Gojo as a one last fuck you to the untouchable man, but low and behold it hit, and just as we the fans were absolutely thrown aloof you can imagine Gojo was probably less prepared than we were. Hope this helps and sorry for my bad English 😅

A binding vow. It seems the chant isn't the only thing though. I believe the chant is nessesary every time since but even without it was a binding vow.

[@chris_k1d844]

You're entitled to your opinion, but I just want to say that the reason why Sukuna chants is bc he can do so in his true form without it hindering his fighting ability in anyway, if gojo had an extra mouth like Sukuna, he would chant for every red and blue just like Sukuna does. That's why he chants. He even chanted for the dismantle he used against higurama, after it was stated that he wasnt uses the slash anymore by Kusakabe

[@mkazaa]

@@chris_k1d844 you're entitled to your opinion but the reason sukuna chants for each use of his "dimensional" slash is because of the binding vow he made to beat Gojo. In order to get the slash off with no delay he had to restrict every future use of that slash by doing the chants and making the target clear. Jujutsu mastery comes from subtracting steps. To the point that sukuna is able to use his cleave/dismantle with no chants, hand signs and even indication its being used. He wouldn't just start chanting because he has two mouths now otherwise he would do the same in yujis body where he could manifest a mouth wherever. His body is just built for optimal jujutsu usage because a second mouth reduces strain on the lungs and two sets of arms means he can keep weaving hand signs but he doesn't need to do it at all.

[@kurokamiryuu1912]

4:00 Random thought, but if that's the case, what if he sacrificed Mahoraga in order to bypass the Chanting? Gojo may have used Hollow Purple in order to wipe him out, but what if that wasn't what actually ended him, and instead in that split second, Sukuna made a binding vow to give up Mahoraga so that he'd be able to pull off that dimensional slash, that would Guarantee hit Gojo dead on?

How I thought it worked is that he sent slashes towards Gojo, and it got stopped by limitless because Gojo made it have an infinite distance to go. Thus it never reaches him. But Sukuna made a slash that just cuts through everything in a selected range. Like he drew a little box around Gojo, and everything in that box gets cut. It doesn’t matter that an infinite amount of stuff is in that box, everything in the box gets cut.

[@psl6145]

Pretty much. Instead of trying to cut Gojo inside the box, he decided to cut the entire box, including all its contents within it.

Thats pretty much how he explains it in the video

[@tganims9804]

That’s literally what he said in the video

[@bisaster5471]

From what I understand is it doesn't necessarily mean he's cutting through reality itself, he just targets the space that Gojo is in, instead of Gojo himself. Imagine if you're looking at an object and someone entered your view and blocks your vision of that object, what usually happens is you shift your focus to that someone. But there is a point before you shifted your focus that you're still "looking" at the object even though your view of it has been blocked. But you can learn to do this, you can be face to face talking with someone but "look" behind them even if you can't see what's behind them. You would just look like you're zoning out from their perspective. This is what Mahoraga did, and what Sukuna learned to do. Instead of looking at Gojo, he looked at the Space that Gojo occupies.

[@fabriceras9562]

This might be the actual thing happening. It definitely makes more sense than Sukuna cutting in 4d since that in itself would cause a rip in space time not only Gojo. Your theory is also backed by the fact that Gojos defense is automatic to block things directed towards him hence if you direct an attack to the space he occupies and not him himself, your attack is likely to bypass infinity, well unless Gojo manually engages it.....which he won't since the auto he has had on most of his life has been excellent and thus he wouldn't have seen the need to . Maybe thats where Sukuna caught him slipping

[@ciarangallagher9330]

That's too simple tho, isn't "near impossible" at all, anyone can send an attack in his general direction

[@tojifushiguro3793]

If thats the case then he would've been able to do that cut every single time, then why does he need to cast a chant whenever he needed to use that type of cut if your explanation was simple enough to do??? What is the chant for?? I personally believe that he cut through 4d

[@jayg.2066]

@@tojifushiguro3793 If he could cut through 4d, he would’ve been able to cut through Yuta’s domain expansion. Instead he explicitly chose hollow wicker basket instead of world bisecting dismantle. Not to mention he has used the attack multiple times and it just looks like a much stronger version of dismantle. There’s no visual indication or effects caused by splitting a dimension. No characters are saying he’s splitting dimensions. Katana guy states that it’s only a stronger version of dismantle. It probably just cuts through jujutsu techniques using complex cursed energy rules.

​​​@@jayg.2066way too late but will still reply he would have been hit with jacob's ladder before he could use it and jacobs ladder would nullify the spark therefore nullifying the whole slash not to mention yuji ,yuta and rika were there to stop him from using it the narrator legit calls it a gamble when sukuna tries to use it and the only reason sukuna manages to use it is because megumi denies yuji

[@first7120]

We are told the sacrifice he had to take. For being able to use it once without any requirement, the requirement of having to point where he fires it with his hand is added on top of the chant and the enmanten hand sign, which is impossible without three arms. So no one would have been able to keep using it except sukuna in heian era form

[@imaturechild24]

The binding vow sukuna made was that after the world cleaving slash agents Gojo, every other world cleaving slash needed hand signs and incantations

[@rejzanlouisa122]

I like your explanation. I always just view it as Sukina is point A of the slashes normally his target which is a person(curse) is point B usually this works but in the case of gojo his CT was creating point B elsewhere so instead of targeting the funny man he simply learned to put point B behind him so no matter what fake space generated by the technique targeting destination still was predetermined to be behind an application of his cutting technique setting space as the target

[@jordanshepard1839]

Makes absolutely no sense. If I threw a baseball at gojo with the intended target being behind him, would it bypass infinity? Of course not. The destination is irrelevant.

[@Solikap]

@@mrlolas5114 That's because you're not Sukuna, bro. Even Sukuna the jujutsu genius needed a blueprint from Mahoraga to pull off such a binding vow and incorporate it into his CT. It's not just a "I want my dismantle to cut everything in front of and behind Gojo!". It's a binding vow based on the jujutsu physics. You're not supposed to understand it %100 because only a true jujutsu genius like Sukuna can utilize feats like this in universe. It's supposed to showcase his quick/strategical thinking, adaptability, and intelligence. Which we have seen numerous times previously in the fight. This man is obsessed with jujutsu.

[@lowliethxd1471]

Tbh this is also what I envisioned how the dimensional slash would work. But what confuses me is how did Sukuna slashed the specific space Gojo was in, without affecting the environment. If the slash teared the "paper" to pass infinity, then shouldn't the whole "paper" be sliced and not only the part where gojo was in? Shouldn't the area around gojo get warped or something? Like Za hando from Jojo

[@Gooberking]

What I think can explain that is that the paper tear is supposed to show how the slash isn't just on gojo but on the dimensions gojo's in rather than the environment. Which is why it's called dimensional he isn't cutting the world more his cutting through the dimensionsal space around them space itself which is why infinity couldn't stop it since it's cutting the space around gojo in which gojo is in.

[@helpmepleaseimcrying]

I think it only divides whatever it's in that area, it's not like Lapse blue that creates a space of nothing so there's no need for space to warp in order fill. Get it?

[@The_Omnipotent_Lurk]

No, People’s head cannon for months now, they also say it’s 4D lol, it’s just a Attack, that instantly teleports, where Gojo was standing, hence cutting him in half. If infinity has nothing to slow down an infinite amount of times, it will get bypassed, but people can’t accept that. It also makes sense because Sukuna’s normal Dismantle travels a Distance (Mahoraga fight) so the World Cut doesn’t have to travel anymore and just spawns wherever you’re standing.

[@ui8087]

Another way to think of it is that Sukuna slash/cut the place of where Gojo stood rather than throwing a slash. The place of spot in space, happened to be past Gojo’s infinity, thus both originating there as well as never having to bypass infinity in the first place.

[@The_Omnipotent_Lurk]

Yes basically spawning it there, just like he did with Kashimo, you can even see Sukuna yell „Dismantle“ right before it targets him and Kashimo confirms „So this is the World cut, that sliced Gojo in half“. It doesn’t literally cut the world it just doesn’t get launched anymore like his normal Dismantles. People just make it sound fancy with „cutting the world“ „targeting everything inside Infinity“ etc when it’s just a normal Dismantle with an extended range.

[@zarc1145]

Not a spawning slash we see the wcs travel like a normal dismantle it travels much faster but travels much the same

[@BloodSasuke101]

Watching this 2 months later and bro you called it, Sukuna made a Binding Vow to hit Gojo that one time with WCD

[@rishabhsharma684]

I think of it as that the slash was beyond the medium of space-time which gojo uses to emulate zeno paradox or infinity

[@TunaMayo_2j]

Sukunas world cutting slash, or his domain, actually slashes reality it self, even if theres a barrier over something like protecting it, it would still do damage (except for simple domain) so that means world cutting slash and his domain bypasses gojos infinity

[@jeremychristian5409]

It's actually been foreshadowed since the early chapters of their battle when they were still sizing each other up. Sukuna sent a dismantle (not cleave) towards Gojo's direction but it ended up not reaching him inside infinity and continued to the building behind him. This is Sukuna trying to experiment early with the concept of how to cut Gojo by not trying to cut Gojo per se.

[@The_Omnipotent_Lurk]

Yes almost as if a Dismantle is getting „launched“ and with the World cut it doesn’t have to now and just spawns wherever Gojo was standing. People like to make it more complicated, when it really is not. They even say it’s a 4D cut lol

[@MattHorn59]

This is the most amazing explanation

[@leonsantero9903]

So basically, it's like "fuck everything in that general direction"

[@jaxxsor]

After watching this video it brought to my mind how Gojo's infinity technique was originally explained to me, in the way that when ever you try to get close to him all you're doing is halving the space between you and him and as long as there is space to half you will never quite reach him. And the fact he was ended by literally being cut in half is kinda crazy. Gege truly cooks

[@The_Omnipotent_Lurk]

No, Gojo only said „Anything that approaches him, gets slowed down until it never reaches him“ people like to head cannon but it’s never stated in the manga, same that people think it’s 4D, again never stated. So to bypass Infinity, you just need something that instantly teleports where he is standing. Just like what the world cut did. It’s not that fancy. And considering Sorcerers hardly keep up with the speed of sound.

[@purewhiteloverbizarrejelly]

Sakuna watched the Toy Story/JJK parody and when he saw Buzz Lightyear’s domain expansion “To Infinity and Beyond”, he took notes.

[@carbon-x1744]

My question is how did sukuna do the chant without gojo pummeling him before he can throw out the slash, and also how did he do handsigns with one hand??? Even if he can do with 1 hand it would take too long and gojo could of attacked so im just lost there

[@interesting_9888]

The chants are for building cursed energy, when sukuna 1st uses the slash he used up all of his cursed energy, hence why he transformed against kashimo, the chants also increase output greatly which is also why kashimo and over characters find it hard to dodge

I always thought sukuna world cutting slash is not like a knife moving to slice a piece of paper, but instead he moved the paper, aka the dimensional plane itself onto the knife (his technique). Sukuna knows he'll never reach infinty by sending slashes through space so he moved the space that gojo's infinty occupies or even just straight up space that Gojo occupies, towards the point of his slash. The ultimate reverse output

[@eoghanjones9042]

I always saw it as rather aiming at gojo he aims at everything else rather than one thing, it’s not actual space manipulation because if he targeted and cut space itself their would be a permanent tear so he probably aims at something like the world and everything in that radius is affected like man made space

[@HotdogBro12]

Basically the entire fight was mahoraga being the best teacher and teach Sukuna the way to bypass infinity

[@navneethgopal1211]

It's basically a Judgement Cut End but with curse energy.

[@brzrkrlifts]

When Maho died, Sukuna absorbed Maho’s knowledge of the slash

[@arturomontas5791]

Sukuna: Can't touch him * ask for help Mahoraga: Can touch it but too fast *ask for help Gege: Can't touch it too popular Gege: Rips his notebook

[@karmacop217]

Losing Mahoraga or not being able to use the ten shadows technique as a whole is most likely what the binding vow was, because you don't see Sukuna using the ten shadows technique later on. Sukuna likely set that up before the fight knowing Gojo would exorcise Mahoraga, bringing Gojo's gaurd down for just a moment, giving Sukuna the jump on him to use the world cutting slash.

[@JustAnotherRandomDude]

Sukuna lost almost all his ten shadows when gojo killed that fusion with maximum output blue.

[@victroiumsheepo8585]

​@@JustAnotherRandomDude it is stated that every time one shadow dies its power gets transfered to the other ones, he lost 4 shadows, he still has 6.

[@krishnawaghade2971]

Sukuna using mahoraga as his pokemon

[@TheRealSpaghettini]

so if theoretically Sukuna needed to perform a binding vow to essentially get the slash off without Gojo noticing, therefore needing to sacrifice something in exchange, could it have been the ability to use his fire arrow? Because Gege makes it obvious that Sukuna just, hasn't used it at all after the Shibuya Incident arc. And obviously there's no actual proof to substantiate this other than the fact that he hasn't used it at all but idk maybe some food for thought.

[@Shotty01]

If you're still confused just think of the slash that cut gojo as cutting space its self. Sukuna did not cut Gojo but instead he cut the space Gojo was in.

[@erickmachadoo]

Best explanation I got

[@MickSli6Viewer7Metal]

Seeing paper Gojo get torn in half still hurts, I won't lie.

[@159tony]

I believe sukunas self made binding vow had to do with him having to tank the attack and allow himself to be pushed near death in order to pull it off without the hand sign and chant. I believe that this is how hakari rigs his spins for his domain too. That so long that he actively takes near lethal or lethal damage before activation of his domain, he gets a massive luck boost. I believe sukuna did much the same. He gambled with his binding vow, tanked hollow purple, and gained the ability to do the dimensional slash without the relevant hand signs or chants.

[@artypyrec4186]

The cut is less 4th dimensional thinking and may just mean he is targeting the world. My favorite example is he made a technique that say "fuk up everything in that direction". Cleve and dismantle targets cursed and non cursed objects, Sukuna is just targeting everything he is pointing at.

[@manikdx2000]

@manganimist here's a question: Since Yuji has unlocked Sukuna's CT, can Yuji eventually use World Cutting Slash?

[@Appl3_Fr1tter_27]

It would be so cool if the page that sukuna explains his dimensional slash on was cut in half

[@TrevernDiaz]

The easiest way to explain this circumstance is by understanding that Gojos infinity creates space between himself and any attack. sukuna learned how to cut space so regardless of how much space gojo could generate with infinity sukuna simply would cut through all of it. So they both bordered on space manipulation but while Gojo used space as a shield sukuna learned to cut said shield

[@hamzaomari7052]

That's like advanced machine learning stuff lmao

[@AlliSinned]

I thought of the technique as not cutting the mass of an object, but rather cutting all that exists at a certain point in space. Gojo occupied the coordinates in space that Sukuna slashed, so he got cut. Like if in Minecraft someone encased themselves in bedrock, you can’t hit them from the outside, but if you teleport something (like a creeper) to that player’s exact coordinates, they’ll get hit by it. The bedrock is infinity; the creeper is the part of the slash that hit Gojo. Not a perfect analogy but a funny one loll

[@adampiette60]

Sukuna literally has four arms and multiple mouths to be able to use two arms to fight, while the other two perform handsigns and the mouths appear anywhere to chant multiple chants at once

[@blastem_high]

Amazing explanation!

[@harryb12993]

The way I understood the slash was that it targeted all of existence in it’s path and as long as gojo and his infinite existed within that path it is cut

[@bakon_the_animator5444]

I see wcs as someone putting their arm in a portal and closing it and as a result the two parts of the arm are just seperated

[@ensifolium]

in "Does Gojo’s Infinity Block Oxygen?" you said that Gojo changed the target of his new 24/7 Infinity to himself instead of objects coming at him. That had me thinking that that's why Sakuna's slashes needed to target the area that Gojo was occupying instead of Gojo himself. That ended up being super complicated, but it kind of made sense to me. I also wondered why Sakuna kept using it despite no one else having infinity. I guess, we've seen people tank cleve and dismantle without getting cut in half, so maybe this is his answer to that. The dimensional slash would definitely cut right through them and ignore their toughness. Gojo was able to restore his arm, but his RCT was on another level. Maybe that's what's going on.

[@DopeThug]

Asspull really, what does sukuna have to do with interdimensional ability to go thru that is impossible done by a 3 dimensional being

[@AuroraBoost]

Pay attention? The slash he makes is still a normal slash but it has a much better target. Gojo got cut because he was in the way of the slash.

[@denji3397]

​@@AuroraBoost typical sukuna fan iq . Your response made 0 sense

[@slatx1]

​@@denji3397how didn't you understand any of that 💀💀

[@NoskNetorareMaster]

When bro mentioned "gege" the subtitles turn into gay gay 💀

[@saynotololi]

Gojo is inside infinity it takes up some sort of space. Sukuna found a way to cut inside that space he’s inside of

[@513gposey]

There was no collateral damage from the 3d cut that he kills Gojo with. That might have something to do with your binding vow theory. Maybe by reducing the size of the cut could allow him to skip chanting.

[@grey5751]

Since we found out that the future use of hand signs, chanting, and "pointing" _was_ the sacrifice in the binding vow, what do we think about the original power level of this dismantle? It still feels like bad writing.

[@Shibitsuru_edits]

Bro predicted the future

[@PlayfulCloud3]

would have been the most perfect fight in all anime if gege made “smart conditions” for the world slash like its not that hard gege. 1. Chants should be heard/observed by the target 2.Has vast curse energy reserve to perform the world slash (yuta’s atleast) 3.capable of damaging the soul 4.Be affected by target’s domain (infinite void) 5. User’s domain must be in burnout 6. Has to do hand signs Only after then can you see infinity and BE ABLE TO “TARGET THE WORLD” Conditions of using “World slash” 1. Extended domain burnout 2. Has to use chants and hand signs 3. Has to point to the intended target

[@rain-mk6mf]

It might be 4D but right now it isn't cause we kniq it doesn't cut time. Saying it cuts reality is too extreme

[@MrNamenamenamename]

I thought it meant the cut had infinite range. So it just keeps going tangentially off the face of the earth

[@elderacorn1151]

My question is why was that cut enough to kill him? He's been cut clean through in vital places a lot, but this one he can't heal?

[@MrPercy012]

Honestly, the way I dumb it down for myself is that he telefrags the slash.

[@ninjedi6710]

i think of it like he summoned a portal in the middle of gojo and then turned off that portal

[@jovanidivine5606]

Think of it as cutting air. Or like cutting the atoms in air . That’s so minute that it’ll cut through infinity

[@dalcedarry8863]

It's scary when you understand when Yuji will use World cutting slash, he will erase you completely, because he cut your soul + the world.

[@jj_1167]

So yamis dimensional slash can cut through

[@kemolucha7050]

when i read the chapter, i wasn't really confused. Things like this have happened before in manga. usually, when on this scale, the simpler it is. while Big Raga The Opp Stoppa adapted to Gojo, Sukuna saw how he did so. from there, sakuna copied same principles. instead of focusing his attack at a target whose an infinite distance away. why not cut the infinite distance? a cut through space and timeno matter the magnitude is surely going to cross something like Gojo's Infinity. Big Raga's fist adaptation was changing the nature of cursed energy, and its second was changing the target of attack to the space around Gojo. Sakuna merely copied that second idea because he found it possible for himself to do. people aleo say infinity slows down attacks aimed at Gojo, but that's not exactly the case, gojo isn't just limited to "attack" toward him his infinity can slow down EVERYTHING, no matter the intention. for instance, Jogo furst meeting lSakuna and the doing the hand touch thing, jogo at that point was clearly more curious and confused than hostile. nd other people can touch Gojo or vice versa, but that's only if he allows it or turns off infinity.

[@natman2939]

How can the 2d example be applied in 3d? I’m having a hard time visualizing it

[@ManganimistYT]

It's really hard to visualize a dimension higher than the one we exist in, just like the 2d paper world would have a hard time understanding the 3rd dimension, its hard for us to wrap our heads around the fourth. Not sure I have a great example, but there's some in-depth YT vids out there on the subject if you're interested

[@kiddxquiet]

What if the binding vow took away his fire???
