No spoilers: Basically, for every shadow, he has to beat them in that ritual to control them the way he does all the other ones we've seen. The ritual itself isn't suicide, it's a battle. It's just that Makora is so strong that summoning it to subjugate it is like suicide for the summoner.

[@fajarkurniawan9434]

Ah so basically like a circus trainer, he must tame the animal before he can use them on stage. But now he must open the lion cage, that is not yet trained to follow order yet, and might attack and eat the trainer? Right?

15:20 😂 It's funny you mention this because Megumi has tried to summon "Makora" so many times in S1: • He tried it in Episode 1 against Yuji • He tried it in Episode 5 against Sukuna • He maybe tried it against Todo not sure about this one (edit: yeah no he didn't try to use it against Todo, that would be overkill) • He tried it against Hanami TWICE • Lastly, he tried it against the Finger Bearer in Episode 23 Megumi was down right suicidal 😂

[@Triattt]

I don't think he would pull out Makora against Todo. Maybe pull some of the other shikigamis he hasn't subjugated yet, but killing himself over such a fight would be way over the top. There were no stakes. Anime(manga?) just made his stop-fucking-around expression too similar to his going-to-hell-taking-you-with-me face.

[@SirSpitsAlotable]

Just for clarification, every Ten Shadows users starts with the two divine dogs by default. When the user feels ready they can start a subjection ritual and fight one of the other shadows by them self. Once they have defeated the shadow they can control it. So for instance the frogs we see Megumi use a lot. He had to summon and defeat the frogs and afterwards he has control of them. So every shadow we have seen Megumi use over the series, he fought 1on1 and defeated himself.

Makora (Mahoraga) is the most powerful shikigami of the Ten Shadows Technique, the ultimate trump card of zenin clan, throughout its entire history no user has been able to tame it, what gojo said to megumi was very important because it basically killed the copy of gojo long time ago (yes it's that strong) if sukuna was at 4 fingers in that moment even he would've been cooked

[@dhelsgade]

For real, the animators adapts and echance the fight sequences just like Mahoraga

[@churder6788]

The episode was released unfinished but it still goes hard

[@mindcrime2692]

A really simple breakdown of Mahoraga's ability is adaptation. Once it experiences something either enough or long enough it will no longer be affected by that thing. A good example is the underwater scene, after it had been underwater for a few moments, it developed gills. In the case of Sukuna's technique, Mahoraga was adapting to the concept of slicing in general, so both of Sukuna's types of slicing were getting less and less effective. The only way to 'kill' Mahoraga is to one-shot it before it can adapt, which is why Sukuna had to use Fuga again. Bt that point, Sukuna's domain was doing nearly no damage.

Putting things into easier context: 1) The Sorcerer can find others to join in the Subjugation ritual. But the ‘taming’ is voided after which. Essentially you can form a Pokémon GO party to raid the Raid Boss. However if you fight alongside teammates, even if you win; you don’t get to catch the Pokémon. Only if you solo and win the raid yourself, you are allowed to catch/tame the Prize(Mahoraga/Makora). 2) Subjugate does not mean create. Megumi was not the one who created Mahoraga/Makora. Subjugate means to tame or bring under control through conquest. That’s what Megumi was trying to say, you can summon Mahoraga/Makora endless amount of times to attempt the Subjugation Ritual. But NO ONE has ever tame Mahoraga/Makora before. Not the Former Clan Leader who used Mahoraga/Makora… definitely not Megumi. Mahoraga/Makora attacks Megumi because he is a Wild Pokémon. Megumi and the former Clan Leader both did not ‘earn the gym badges’ to control or make Mahoraga/Makora obey. So they can only summon Mahoraga/Makora as a last resort option and it will just go wild!

[@xudwig]

No spoilers: Just to further explain Sukuna's domain and his battle with Makora. He has a default slash, Dismantle. Then Cleave which can be adjusted to cut down someone with immense cursed energy in one swoop. Makora's ability is to adapt to any and all phenomena, not just curse techniques. The entire first half of the fight Sukuna is just using Dismantle. When he opens his domain he uses dismantle and cleave since he assumes Makora has only adapted to Dismantle. On the contrary, Makora had adapted to slash techniques as a whole. So he uses his fire arrow which Sukuna knows 100% Makora hadn't adapted to it to finish the fight. That's why he was surprised when Makora was just walking through it and blocking Cleave and Dismantle. Also to clarify "Dissect", and "Fillet" are translation errors, meant to be Cleave and Dismantle. Also Malevolent Kitchen is an error too, meant to be "Malevolent Shrine".

[@martinrudolph5938]

The only way to defeat Mahoraga is to overwhelm and wear it down with an immensely powerful technique and then bust an even more overpowered technique and catch it off guard. He truly is one of the final bosses of the story, everyone is rightfully scared of it.

[@XavierShade]

Getting to see Sukuna go wild was awesome but, I'm still really intrigued by these heavenly pacts and treasures that keep coming up.

[@alvanedgar3125]

If you're wondering, the 'Binding Pact" Sukuna sets is to remove the boundary of his domain expansion, giving everyone caught in it a "guaranteed" way to escape from his domain. With how the magic system works in this universe, with all the checks and balances, this show of "mercy" in exchange allows him to increase the radius of his domain's sure-hit effect to a maximum of 200m radius. A "Heavenly Pact" is a different but similar thing, where its something someone is born with, a binding pact with "heaven" that gives up something to get a boost in something else for that person. In the case of Toji and Maki, they loose the ability to see and harness cursed energy in exchange for unparalleled physical strength, speed, and toughness. In the case of Mechamaru, its the opposite, he gains a massive reserve of cursed energy, allowing him to become a puppetmaster, but leaves his body weak and ill. The treasures that Sukuna mentions refers to the imperial regalia of Japan, the 3 treasures still displayed today that was allegedly retrieved from the belly of the Yamato no Orochi, an 8 headed snake monster. The regalias are often said to contain magical properties, that allows them to protect the imperial family from harm. Considering that this is JJK, they most probably exist in the verse as extremely powerful cursed tools. Sukuna's referring that Makora/Mahoraga's power works similar to/due to the symbolism of these treasures.

[@thefunniestvalentine4789]

Megumi has Dogs Frogs Rabbits Bird Snake (which was killed by Sukuna in Episode 5 so it can’t be summoned anymore) And Elephant That’s currently 6, with Mahoraga being 7. Manga readers know 2 others for a total of 9 but I won’t say what they are

Megumi said it at the beginning. To tame/subjugate a Shikigami, you have to defeat it. So what Megumi has to do to be able to control Makora is what Sukuna just did: defeat it lol. Once Megumi does that, then it will obey him like the others we've seen. The only shikigami that doesn't need to be defeated are the Demon dogs. They are the "default" Shikigami of the Ten Shadows technique and will obey you. They represent Shikigami n°1. Both count as a single Shikigami (well, the white one was destroyed in Season 1 Episode 4 and its powers went to the black one). It is the other 9 that Megumi needs to defeat to be their master. So he defeated the rabbits (count as 1), frogs (also count as 1), Nue (bird), Orochi (the giant snake destroyed by Sukuna in Season 1 Episode 5) and Max Elephant. A 7th Shikigami was revealed this episode (Makora) and the remaining three Shikigami are yet to be. We know nothing about them (in the anime) and don't know if they have been tamed or not. The Zenin ancestor who fought the Gojo ancestor to death couldn't control Makora either. Megumi said nobody ever managed to tame it. But just like Megumi, he could summon it. This also means getting attacked by it like Megumi was as an untamed Shikigami won't obey you. Makora is an intergral feature of the Ten Shadows technique (it is pretty much the final boss of the Shikigami). On another note, it is an actual deity. Makora is one of the Twelve Divine Generals in East Asian Buddhism. So that thing is literally a god.

[@innocuousalias6632]

Every reaction I've seen is surprised when the shikigami starts taking it to Sukuna even though Gojo straight up said that shikigami killed a man with the same powers he had. That summon is the very move of last resort that the show was teasing since season one. Everyone is always "what's Megumi's secret power??????" well here it is after long last. The collateral damage wouldn't normally be so horrific or else Megumi probably never use it. That shikigami is so powerful it would normally end a fight quickly and easily then just vanish. Both quick and clean. Even a cursed spirit on Jogo's or Dagon's level would probably be put down real quick. Sukuna was letting that fight go on simply to entertain himself. But this became a clash between an unstoppable force and an unmovable object and just nuked the heart of the city. All the collateral up till now is nothing by comparison.

[@anastudioofficial]

26:29 To answer Dani question here you just need to defeat the Makora (Mahoraga) and automatically you tame it.The easiest way is to attack it with another strong attack while it try to adapt to current attack like what Sukuna did.

[@alexinator-hh5fe]

We saw multiple times in S1 that Megumi was about to unleash something powerful and throw his life away. But it's so funny that when it FINALLY gets used, it's against Haruta of all people. Mahoraga. Sukuna shows up and has fun for a bit but unlike with Jogo, he realizes that having fun won't be enough for this thing. If it adapts to all of his moves, there won't be a path to victory. So he has to take it out in one blow. Then he demolishes most of the city, annihilates SO MANY PEOPLE(including Haruta who's luck had ran out) and then makes Yuji see and experience it all so he can laugh at his misery. Once again, Sukuna is not Yuji's friend. He is not on his side at all. Yuji's suffering and despair brings Sukuna entertainment. Just like how he laughed with Mahito when Junpei was killed in front of Yuji. He is diabolical. And now, Nanami is back. Nearly burnt to a crisp but still walking. Where does his path lead to, I wonder?

[@MultiWar22]

"How do you subjugate Makora?" Well, it's actually pretty simple in theory. You just need to summon it, like Megumi did, but by yourself (so no outsiders, like Haruta or Sukuna) and kill it. The problem is: it's VERY FUCKING HARD to kill it, as you saw, lol. "So was Makora just healing itself, since it had a source of Positive Energy?" No. Cursed Spirits are made of Cursed Energy, which is negative. This means that they can heal pretty much effortlessly (Sukuna even comments on that in episode 3 or 4 of season 1, against the Finger Bearer), since they can just use regular Cursed Energy to heal. Positive Energy, though, is basically a one shot to any Cursed Spirit. Outputting Positive Energy into a Cursed Spirit is like making the matter that holds their bodies disappear. That's why Sukuna said that, if he were a Cursed Spirit, he would have died with that blow from the Sword of Extermination. So Makora has an INSANE advantage against any Cursed Spirits by default, since he can just one shot any of them. Like, if you put Mahito against Makora, Makora would only need 1 shot to kill even Mahito, and that would be it, not to mention his adaptability. So he's REALLY strong

What i think is the person who possessed the six eyes and limitless technique ages ago,should have lacked reverse cursed technique which is why he lost to the makora(mahoroga).Reverse cursed technique is the key to unlock the full potential of the limitless technique (red and hollow purple) Makora can only be defeated by using an attackand burying it with another attack before it adapts ....the previous limitless user (if he didn't have reverse cursed technique) would have only blue ,making it impossible to defeat makora

The Zenin clan leader didn’t have control of Makora in his battle with the Gojo clan leader. Zenin must have started the ritual as a last resort when fighting the Gojo clan leader. Im guessing Zenin used Makora in a way to kill the Gojo clan leader and then Zenin himself was killed by Makora or maybe they both were so badly injured that Makora killed them both. So intriguing 🧐

[@crackers5422]

Nah, it probably killed the Zenin first like with Megumi, then went after the Gojo clan dude. Soon as they both got "killed," the ritual ends and they officially die.

Yamata no Orochi is a monster from the Japanese (Shinto) folklore, that was slayed by Susanoo (One of the 8 major gods and Amaterasu's brother). In the mythology it takes the form of a dragon/snake with 8 heads and 8 tails.

[@CoreyCore614]

On the rewatch Crunchyroll fixed the translations. It's Mahoraga and Malevolent Shrine now

[@JaySaidStuff]

If you played or have seen Final Fantasy X you're probably thinking of Anima when Mahoraga (Or as these translations are calling him, Makora) is being summoned. It's eerily similar and I know the animators have been inspired by many other works such as Evangelion during Mechamarus battle and plenty others I just can't think of from the top of my head. But yeah that ritual summoning was exactly like Anima coming out in Final Fantasy X.

[@pinoyj316]

Megumi's summon very much reminds me of Anima from Final Fantasy 10 when it was all chained up in the beginning.

[@itzmehDevi]

19:32 It took some while for me to register they were talking about Inumaki..I wonder what happened to him

@@hazardEXE27 SHUSH DELETE UR COMMENT I KNOW THAT It is a spoiler Pls delete it T_T

I was sad when Yuji was breaking down, then I got lit when I heard that intro music. It is what it is🙏😭

[@tonypeparoni1235]

Ok, no manga spoilers but just to clear things up. The subtitles are a bit stupid Makora = mahoraga Fillet = Cleave Dissect = dismantle Malevolent kitchen = malevolent shrine I believe they use direct translation for subtitles but that’s the actual name of the attacks

[@EelsOnWheels]

Love the Firefly edit 😂

[@soultaker067]

“I’ve seen something like this before… ah yes, Naruto” The editor!! 👏🤣 I had the same reaction … whaaa?! 😂

[@ItsSolobtw]

Makora is so strong its literally suicide to try to fight it head on so its not a automatic death if you do beat it. The form and way Megumi summoned him made it to where if they both were to die then it would be a automatic death for both of them. But there is a way to actually fight Makora without suicide. He is so strong you literally have to 1 shot him or you actually straight up lost.

[@breakwoodhopper6739]

Subjugation ritual is pretty much them trying to beat and tame the curse so megumi could use it under his control i assume he did that for all his curses

[@speedrunner3312]

"How are you supposed to control this guy?" You don't. 😂

9:01 i think she was talking about the gedo statue lol

[@arsenalgaming2468]

I swear its called like mahogara insted of makora probably just the different translations cause he said malverlet kitchen instead of shrine

[@coreyburgh5831]

For me Makora looks like the Aeon from FFX called Anima

[@amari7782]

18:01 Yamato-no-orochi is an 8 headed serpent from Japanese mythology ( like sakuna)

[@chaseowens9627]

Megumi summoned that specific one because since he has not tamed it yet it doesn’t consume cursed energy the way it consumes it when he summons a Shikigami that he has already tamed. Tamed Shikigami are effectively being controlled by Megumi at will, however untamed one’s can be summoned over and over and over so the technique user can keep trying to tame them. The problem with summoning Mahoraga is that he is simply too powerful and his abilities allow him to adapt too quickly which effectively makes him the strongest character in the series given he has the time to adapt to his opponent’s attacks (which is VERY quickly) the “trade off” for being able to summon an untamed Shikigami as many times as you want or need is that since it isn’t tamed the technique user has ZERO control over them. Effectively Megumi was about to die from bleeding out and being exhausted of cursed energy from using a domain expansion as well as physically exhausted from outrunning Toji. And he was pretty much saying “fuckit, I’m about to die so I’m just gonna summon this thing because it takes no energy and it will just slaughter us both” basically Megumi was being petty ASF and saying “if I’m going out, you are too”😂😭

[@LoXHumaN]

11:16 I mean I thought this whole episode pretty much showed why he’s obsessed with him. Imagine sukuna with the ten shadows technique? OP af

[@xXRaion98Xx]

To control Makora the user has to defeat it just like all the other Shikigamis except the dogs that are the starters. So at some point megumi defeated Nue, Gama, the rabbits etc.

[@bigboobaaron2196]

Mahoraga does look like the summonings from that flute girl in naruto

[@pabloesco2007]

At the beginning, Yuji's grandpa said to him something really important (as in the first episode) if they go as far i think, these words will mean a lot. (Baby's memory)

[@MusicGuyFK]

Apparently this episode is only 5% done. Since all of MAPPA walked out hopefully the fight with mi hito is still good.

[@AbyssalSword]

I would've loved it if Sukuna's laughter was resounding in Yuuji's mind at the end when the opening started playing!

[@_all_around_us]

They're dead wrong for playing the opening during Yuji's breakdown 😂😂😂😂

[@MrSkinnyWhale]

It played into the whole thing of Sukuna reveling in Yuji's horror. The song is written from the perspective of a cursed spirit.

[@ednamodee]

i aint wanna giggle but that shit was funny

[@alexneumann3092]

It felt so out of place. It was kind of comedic.

[@_all_around_us]

​@@MrSkinnyWhaledoesn't really matter because it still is an upbeat song, and it took away from a dramatic moment. No music at all would've been ideal.

Sukuna Foreshadowing Mahoraga For Later Fight 😬

[@happiegoat7563]

this is NOT a spoiler. sukuna isn't really OBSESSED with megumi, per se, i mean i guess he is but that's not really the point. season 1, sukuna was impressed with megumis technique, quick thinking and fighting ability. there for, when he was like "should i kill everyone in shibuya? except for one" that was alluding to megumi, since he has "other plans" instead of forming a pact with yuji. sukuna , as we have seen, is NOT merciful, and he doesn't keep people alive for no reason. meaning, he clearly NEEDS megumi for something. he wouldn't go out of his way to protect someone just so megumi cant die for the fun of it. he needs megumi to stay alive, as megumi is probably important to whatever sukuna is doing in the future. that's all :)

[@handlerone5172]

"He's okay though!" YOU CALL THAT OKAY?!

[@random_youtube_user]

Glad you enjoyed the last episode ladies, told you it was the best one so far, but it's sad we won't be getting anymore of them because the animators are suffering under their abusing and hellish bosses in Mappa to the point they were asking for help in twitter 😅 Besides there is a translation error this episode: Sukuna's domain is "malevolent shrine" not "malevolent kitchen" 😂 Oh and I just noticed the jjk notebooks Sam told me about earlier, they look so cool.

[@BigMoneyChao]

glad y’all know his real name haha they really messed up the explanation

[@Diinytro]

Which explanation?

[@Thornefield]

@@Diinytro The translations to english this episode were real rough in some cases. Sukuna's Malevolent Shrine was described as Malevolent Kitchen, when it's actually supposed to be Shrine (the word translates to Shrine but also Cabinet, in terms of Kitchen Cabinet for context, so it's entirely a translation thing), Cleave and Dismantle were turned to Fillet and Dissect (again, similar words, probably translation errors), and Mahoraga was called Makora (which is the literal Japanese translation), though in Mahoraga's case, both Makora and Mahoraga refer to the same Sanskrit mythological figure, Makora is just the japanese term for them, and most translations of the manga people read went with Mahoraga as the name, even though the manga directly names them Makora and the japanese dub you hear says Makora. First errors (Sukuna's techniques) seem to be a translation error, where the latter is taken as an error but is actually accurate.

[@TeoriasEconspiracoes666]

makora = mahoraga malevolent kitchen = malevolent shrine fillet = cleave dissect = dismantle

[@Okkotsu86275]

Yamata no Orochi or simply Orochi is a legendary eight-headed and eight-tailed Japanese dragon/serpent. In Japanese mythology.

[@arrowrex4692]

The Ritual is easy just beat the summon Normaly you going one after the other, Start with 2 dogs and with every Ritual you beat one summon and in the end you got all 10 shadows Obivisly Makora (Mahoraga) should be the last, so for megumi to Start the Ritual without all summons it is like a Suizid, but if He Trick someone in the Ritual with him He gets attackt by the summone to.

[@monzeemate101]

I’m worried Toge might be dead after hearing that girl say “that guy with the megaphone” assuming he was within the same vicinity as them

[@ray-boi1351]

Same

[@123newjersey3]

Also also, the monster was just suppoesd to kill megumi and the guy and disappear, but sukuna stopped the guy from dying. You have to fight them to tame them, like pokemon

[@bolt2134]

The reason why Megumi decided to use such a suicidal move was because he was already going to die of blood loss so he decided to take that blond cockroach with him at least before dying, the funny thing is that demon dog would have been more than enough for that trash so Megumi summoning that monster is NEXT LEVEL PETTINES, like my boy i know you pissed that he got you with a sneack attack from the back but god damn.

[@Okkotsu86275]

Megumi said if I’m going out I’m taking you with me. I love it

[@hiteshkumar-rc5qw]

Before u say Sukuna is struggling against Makora (Moharaga) u guys please read the subtitles properly , remember what gojo said in megumi's flash back while releasing makora , long time ago two clan leaders faught , one had 10 shadows ability like megumi and another had six eyes with infinite just like gojo .....as a result they both died !!!!!!!... Duhh.... so Makora (Moharaga) had already killed someone with six eyes and infinite ..... Yet Sukuna with 15 fingers managed to defeat and killed Makora.... Imagine Sakuna with all 20 fingers..

[@123newjersey3]

I dont know why the subs called it Malevolent Kitchen. It used to be Malevolent Shrine

[@gab_gabriel3821]

My thought how Gojo-clan who have Six eyes and limitless lose to Mahoraga that time: If that fight 1v1, then that guy from Gojo-clan will win it like Sukuna did in this battle. It just they both die bc not only Mahoraga who fighting Gojo-clan leader, but the user of that ten shadow who summon Mahoraga is also take a part to fight the guy leader from Gojo-clan

[@delevingne8691]

Mickykuna needs Mahorage to carry him vs GOatJO

[@ivanhernandez8070]

It’s a lot easier to understand if you think of ten Shikigami of the Ten Shadows Technique like Pokemon.
