Megumi's Ten Shadows: Totality Explained | Jujutsu Kaisen

[@tryingmybest1888]

Megumi did summon the black dog by itself, it was used to look for the semi first grade spirit during the tournament and was then dismissed by inumaki

[@magikarp1666]

So he can choose when he can summon just the black dog and a separate summon for black and.white dog combo?

i appreciate you for not just blurting out spoilers

[@arpitjp]

What if when all the 10 shadows get destroyed, Megumi gets totality buff of all of them. If he gets abilities of Mahoraga, he could easily be a special grade. I can see it being the end game of JJK if Sukuna bodies everyone else.

@@notnameless3805 Unironically I think he would. Spoiler alert Can you just imagine a Mahoraga regeneration paired with the Deer's regeneration, having Nue's lightning+wings and being able to run really fast causing him to do more damage like Piercing Ox, Having the ability to flood a place like the Elephant, The Strength and Claw of both divine dogs and Tiger Funeral and being able to grow in size using Orochi? Yeah nah no thanks I'd rather fight Sukuna at that point.

[@notnameless3805]

@@Justafeint i mean i just think it would be overkill at that point. Its like if a tornado has sharks swirling around it too.

[@billlanagan2320]

I wondered what happened to Orochi. Sukuna just flexed, popped it, and it was never mentioned again. haven’t seen a totality with the snake, never mentioned that one of his ten shadows was destroyed forever and didn’t even really seem upset about it despite it seeming like one of the more difficult ones for him to have tamed at his current rank at the time.

[@NemeticSage]

Assuming you're anime only, I'll put a spoiler warning. Continue at your own risk. Orochi is shown to have been absorbed into Nue when Sukuna summoned it, hence the tail. Gojo also states that it has combined with Nue when he was breaking down which shikigami were combined to form Chimera Beast Agito. Agito is a combination of: 1) Nue, which had inherited Orochi via Totality 2) Round Deer 3) Funeral Tiger

[@ZAPRST8879]

if orochi power is inherited by Nue, why the hell did megumi not use totality nue?@@NemeticSage

[@chrisg5219]

@@NemeticSage The fact that we never get told how the Deer was destroyed or the tiger plus what you mentioned as well is just.......why?

[@NemeticSage]

@@chrisg5219 At the moment, we have no reason believe that the deer and the tiger were destroyed. Sukuna just fused them with Nue Totality to create Agito. It's the same as Megumi's "Bottomless Well" that combined Gama with Nue. Neither of those shikigami are destroyed.

[@daralic2255]

Honestly I thought that megumi’s cursed energy amount is his limiting factor on how good it can be.

[@commander061]

well its his mind set that gets in his way cause he ain't greedy to do risk with 10s because he's also worried he might lose it all when in a fight, he goes for a hit and run than going all in per say

[@bananabanana484]

Yeah, but Sakuna summoned more powerful versions. It’s still a technique

[@obinnaodoemenam8762]

[@daralic2255]

@@commander061 mindset can only take you so far. Without the cursed energy to back it up. He has to be tactical and somewhat conservative with his technique taking risk without knowing if it’ll even work is how we got Miwa putting her all into a useless attack

[@Mcheeserton]

Megumi actually has a lot of cursed energy it’s just not as much as sukuna or Yuta

[@someonerandom3609]

I thought the way totality worked was it gave the ability to the next shikigami megumi learns to summon since ten shadow users have a specific order they learn to summon shikigamis

[@xenostar6482]

We know Megumi hasn't tamed all of them, yet he summoned Mahoraga

[@Degradash_real]

Now just imagine that Megumi could've used Agito and others totality combiantions (that could be Mahoraga-like humanoids) to tame Mahoraga. He would be one of the strongest fr.

[@albertjrXI]

Yeah, I like the idea of "feeding" shadows until you have 1 left to challenge mahoraga

[@queefedworm]

It's probably a set in place compounding effect

[@winstonsgmx]

Totality is way stronger than just combining 2 shikigami power. The Totality dog has enough destructive power comparing to Yuji blackflash, maybe even more. So the curse energy used probably way more than juse summoning 2 shikigami at the same time.

[@tewlysanchez2213]

Bruh I hate how megumi can fuse his shadows without the fear of them dying and he barely uses it.

[@whitedragonzerureusu4480]

Yeah he's not a very creative guy. If i had that technique and learnt i can fuse em all together you bet i would abuse that and practice with them to find out what they can do

Can you do a video on what Megumis maximum technique could be

[@Radess]

very good content, brother!!! 🎉

[@conchadeconchos]

Silly question I may have missed the answer, but it is a bit confusing. Just to make sure that snake that sukuna defeated it should of fused onto the other shinigami like divine wolf? Or did I miss interpret something

[@ManganimistYT]

Yes it’s also dead, so it should be usable in totality

[@conchadeconchos]

@@ManganimistYTnice yea upon second rewatch it makes a lot more sense. I missed the drop menu example first time around that is a really good way to put it

[@raimeihakke6552]

I think Totality is a one time use type of ability. When a Shinigami dies you can add the power of the lost creature to another just once. I think since using Divine Dog Totality he can't use the lost Divine Dog to buff anyone else. So in theory. megumi could use Totality with his Snake to buff someone else, but that's would be a permanent decision. I don't know why he never used the snake though

[@paleking]

Other than anime logic, how do ten shadows users know about Totality? Do new users get the chance to recapture the old user’s destroyed shadows? Or was the technique called [higher number] shadows technique before Megumi inherited it? Edit: Manganimist actually addressed my questions in a prior Mahoraga video I saw after commenting, saying the shadows are individualized and reset for each user to obtain by ritual. Rather than delete my comment, I’d rather leave it in case someone else wondered the same thing.

[@username0845]

so if he loses all 10 of his shadows does he just become useless or does he get an 11th shadow more powerful than anything

[@rajanadar3858]

Please do a video on Kenjaku's domain expansion. I want to know whether it belongs to him or geto

[@shizuka7886]

It's Kenjaku's domain, because as we seen (in manga and anime) the sorcerer can summon only their own domain: Sukuna, in Megumi's or Yuji's body can summon only his own, "Shrine domain", no "Chimera Garden"(Megumi's domain) or no existing Yuji's domain. So when Kenjaku uses the domain, he uses his own, because we don't even know, if Geto had domain expansion. The main thing is Kenjaku's "binding vow", where: 1. His domain has an open barrier 2. He can choose what technique is being used as a sure hit, for example he only used "Antigravity system", because it's the only useful "attack" technique for domains.

[@lil-nugget-2008]

It belongs to geto since a domain is created based by the users ct for example Mahitos ct-idle transfiguration and we can see the domain is based off his ct Jogos ct-fire and again same as mahito You can see many example like:sukuna,dagon,naoya etc So the domain we saw in manga was manifested by curses meaning it was geto's domain not kenjakus My theory could be wrong tho

[@obinnaodoemenam8762]

@@lil-nugget-2008 no your wrong his domain had nothing to do with curse manipulation and we know that users domain always include the innate ability so it cannot be geto's

no cause they were already tamed it might be different with the whole soul thing

[@justsomeotherguywithamusta6810]

I feel like it's the third option. When a shikigami dies a random shikigami gets his powers without the intervention of the user

[@travisdreyer9086]

Is it possible to tame another one of the same shikigami if it is killed, like his snake. Cause if the only thing that happens is totality, eventually wouldn't he would just be a sorcerer with a useless technique if someone as strong as sukuna killed all his shikigami ?

[@bharatcosmos7743]

They can use the abilities of shikigami for them self also like sukuna using max elephant 🐘 water as piercing blood

[@31oannamphong66]

That's the downside of shikigami users, the upside is you get fodders to fight infront of you. Just like Todo's op ability is useless if he lost a hand

[@palmtv3538]

well all CT have a weakness, and if you could summon infinitely then MEgumi would just ASk gojo to Kill the snake toons of times and he gets an OP nue

[@timeskipper9167]

Can you explain how he’s able to store stuff in his shadows? I just don’t understand how he’s able to travel through them and hide in them in the culling games. Maybe I’m missing something but good video👍

[@commander061]

his technique has this feature I forgot what it is called that lets him store items not sure for people tho in his shadow, the only drawback to this is that he carries the weight of what he is carrying, like if he stores a 50-pound dumbbell in his shadow then he's gonna feeling that

[@winstonsgmx]

He transfered them into his innate domain. A domain is a separated dimension with different spacetime continuum, that's why he can store things inside. but since the mass is conserved, he has to carry the mass of things inside his shadow like part of his body. Similar to Toji inventory curse. Like keeping playful cloud in his stomach for example.

[@markvirgo97]

What about the deer? I heard it can revive other shikigamis, is that wrong?

[@ManganimistYT]

The deer can perform RCT, so it can heal, but it can’t revive

[@obinnaodoemenam8762]

No because the shikigami are made of cursed energy entirely so the moment they make contact with the deers positive output they should die cause cursed enrgy negative

[@soakup823]

​@@ManganimistYTdo you think the 9th shikigami revives others?

[@paulkevinlogmo]

SPOILER ALERT !!! The technique’s potency also varies greatly depending on Cursed energy output. The Nue summoned by Sukuna was gigantic. Unlike anything we’ve seen from Fushiguro. It was epic. Furthermore, attributes and « techniques » of the beasts can be used without manifesting them. The user sort of equips himself with an aspect of the beasts’ power.

[@victorpedrosoceolin3919]

The gigantic nue is cap, it was because it was fused with the snake, and because the snake is very big, the fusion would also

[@jackknash]

What would happen if a Ten Shadows user had all Shikigami tamed but they are all defeated in combat. Would their technique be pretty much gone? Also can a defeated Shikigami be used in Chimera Shadow Garden?

@@dude135791000 Yeah unless there was a mistranslation (which is totally possible) then all of the ones combined with Nue were already dead, and then the fact that Agito died means Nue would now be gone as well now

not by itself. But he can probably combine it with Agito and solo the verse

[@stefanocremonini2656]

For me "Totality" is just an aspect ofthe divine dogs,rabbit escape or the frogs because they are MULTIPLES SHADOW. Rabbit escape seems resemble the MOONLIT RABBIT like Kaguya of Naruto or even Usagi from Sailor Moon is inspired by that mithology. As for the frogs there's a yokai that resembles a giant demonic frogs like Orochi or the Nue. Finally there's the possibility that Totality involves the countless numbers of Ten Shadows inside Chimera Garden's of Shadow.

[@mistapoli]

There is only one toad unless he’s using the well

[@obinnaodoemenam8762]

nope gonna try not to spoill but shikigami that only come with one copy can be used for totality

[@0o0510]

POV: Agito

[@KETER-sogood]

So is just okay to kill all shikigami and all the power became totality of there is a limit?

[@welshcrusade1562]

so, wait, since Orochi (The Great Serpent) was completely destroyed, why haven't we seen a totality of that on another Shikigami yet? Manga readers, try to not give any spoliers, but will we ever see that in the anime?

[@historical2242]

you will see it

[@LoveTrap-c1s]

Are the shikigami cursed spirits?

[@farsous10]

Two separate things. Curse spirits = born from leakage of curse energy from non sorcerers. The more negative feelings people have towards a place or a concept the longer it takes for that curse to be born but when it does it’s very strong. Shikigami= looks like a curse spirit but is part of a curse technique if the technique is shikigami based. Bascially Pokémon
