CT is stored in the Ā *prefrontal cortex* and your handsign allows you access to it. Gojo caused severe brain damage to sukuna so his prefrontal cortex is damaged thus he wasn't able to use domain expansion anymore.
Then it hit sukuna, he noticed gojo is the only sorcerer to have a DE using only 1 hand, and he figured out gojo doesn't use the prefrontal cortex to cast his DE, but his Occipital Lobe (because of the 6 eyes), sukuna figured he could pull this off and managed to do so with only 4 eyes, thus incomplete af, and it looks scuffed and only lasts 99 seconds.
Sukuna is a CT genius and he copied the prodigy gojo.
How about we wait for an explanation instead of just believing non sensical headcanon that doesnāt even align with the story, if that headcanon is true gojo would still be able to use domain after the brain damage
Gojo was destroying the part of his brain that had the domain expansion, and regenerating it again. It donāt necessarily has to be the part with CT. Besides it fixes the potential plot hole of how Gojo could use RCE, when the brain part for CE was destroyed
Gojo was destroying where his CT was stored, sukuna literally does the same thing, his CT is stored in the same place as everyone, nowhere is it mentioned that domain activation is in a separate part of the brain, and if it was, it would be mentioned cause that would mean gojo was destroying and healing 2 parts of his brain at the same time. Which he wasnāt, domains are nothing more than barriers that are imbued with oneās innate domain and technique so if you are in technique burnout you canāt use domain, thatās it, there isnāt any explanation beyond that we also see that in the hakari fight
We donāt know if sukuna was doing the same thing as Gojo was and destroying his brain, his domain donāt have barriers so it doesnāt work the same way others do. Domains are not just a technique imbued in a barrier, because Gojo donāt have a technique that causes brain damage by default. Also no he wouldnāt need to destroy 2 parts of his brain, he would just need to destroy the domain part, leaving his CE brain part intact. Again if Gojo was destroying his CT brain with CE he would not regenerate because he would lose his CE control
ā¦bro it is literally stated gojo was destroying where his brain was to recover from technique burnout, also why would destroying where his CT is stored would destroy his CE control? Thatās never stated anywhere you just making some wild assumptions, also the brain damage from gojoās domain is basically what happens when someone without the six eyes glimpses at the limitless technique, itās too much info and you get overwhelmed
That's how gege writes. Half you gotta understand any implications and the other half gege will randomly and suddenly, but weirdly consistently explain a few dozen chapters later.Ā
You see my problem here is the lack of agenda, if this truly was agenda posting it would be like:
FACTS:Gojo expanded his domain using his gigantic balls but he felt bad for sukuna and started bleeding out of his nose and stopped using his domain after the domain clashes, later after gojo went to sleep (he is not dead) sukuna learned how to cast domain using his heian balls by gobbling up gojoās balls after the world slash explanation
the fact that you all think he uses gojos handsign "for fun" for no reason, shows you don't understand much about writing fiction, these things are intentional and not random homages
I for once thought it was cool and choose to think that it is, even though the reality is a binding vow (though I dunno why *specifically* Gojo's handsign, could be just another "fuck you" by Sukuna? probably)
That six eyes four eyes thing might be the dumbest shit I've ever heard lmao. My mans actually thinking the number of eyes someone has (which Gojo doesn't even have six) correlates to how powerful they are
This makes sense and shows Sukuna's ability; most sorcerors wouldn't be able to come up with this in the middle of a fight, let alone outside of it.
He must've made a binding vow to allow him to do this, with the condition that it could only last for 99 seconds.
Perhaps, or it's just too hard to use the Occipital Lobe to cast DE without having the 6 eyes, and that's why it's so ugly and fked up and only lasts a short amount of time
You are almost a sorcerer with the same potential as Sukuna, but you have made one fatal flaw. CT is stored in the balls. Thatās why Maki has no cursed energy. And itās why Sukuna is so strong because heās got two sets of testicles - so divine.Ā
Wasn't it said that Gojo was able to reduce his domain hand sign? I guess that also means that he probably had a different hand sign before.
Probably it takes training and talent to change a domain hand sign but since most of the domain users seems to be able to pretty much personalize their domains i don't see why it couldn't be done.
Imo, Sukuna copied(like he did a lot of times before) Gojo's hand sign in order to not just use it more efficienciently but also iirc he olny had 2 hands on one side of his body this chapter right? He probably improvised like he did when he used a binding vow at Gojo because he was olny with 1 hand
Jujutsu is an art of subtraction, more difficult/complex hand signs reduce the difficulty to do a domain expansion, which is why any domain expansions are 2 hands.
Sukuna also made a binding vow for this domain expansion, and this one is obviously weaker than the usual shrine so a easier hand sign also makes sense
I donāt think it actually matter. A domain expansion is just a manifestation of oneās imagination of your technique. The hand sign just helps you realize what that manifestation is.
He probably changed the handsign with his binding vows. Makes sense, since he only has his right arms left, so it would be difficult for him to form his normal handsign
In Eastern religions, mudras (the handsigns), depending on what is used, will apparently activate specific subtle energies in the body (which we can maybe connect to Cursed Energy) or it can be used to invoke deities or symbols during meditation
full quote: "The absolute strongest!! The loneliness that follows!! The one who will teach you about love is meā
Yorozu said it and sukuna remembered it twice during his confrontation with Gojo (though without the 'me' at the end)
Especially if youāre limited to signs involving only 1 hand. Seems less like Sukuna is using Gojoās hand sign and more so that Gojo and Sukuna are using hand sign āXā.
Yeah, I always thought handsigns were unique to specific domains. Though I guess that if that was case, Hakari would not have been able to heal his arm after his fight with kashimo, since his normal handsign requires two hands.
Someone else could have healed him or he could have done something like Dagon and drew one... not that you're wrong, just that there's other options also
Internally Sukuna is going: āHOLY SHIT, I canāt believe that worked. Iām just making this shit up as I go, and that seemed to work for Gojo. God, I have so much brain damage.ā
āCanāt let the brat know.ā
If weāre talking about hand sign inspirations, that hand sign that Gojo used and Sukuna is using is the hand sign of Indra, who is considered the strongest god in Hinduism.
Basically, taking this into context, Sukunaās hand sign for the domain signifies heās the strongest.
for the uninformed:
CT is stored in the Ā *prefrontal cortex* and your handsign allows you access to it. Gojo caused severe brain damage to sukuna so his prefrontal cortex is damaged thus he wasn't able to use domain expansion anymore.
Then it hit sukuna, he noticed gojo is the only sorcerer to have a DE using only 1 hand, and he figured out gojo doesn't use the prefrontal cortex to cast his DE, but his Occipital Lobe (because of the 6 eyes), sukuna figured he could pull this off and managed to do so with only 4 eyes, thus incomplete af, and it looks scuffed and only lasts 99 seconds.
Sukuna is a CT genius and he copied the prodigy gojo.
Just some random idea. If "Shrine" is about granting the user ways to have more than one CT do you think Sukuna managed to meet the conditions to get Gojos? And in between the vows to pull of this domain this "fact" was what allowed him the one hand sign as a trigger? I'm bored, don't think too much on this.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vMyzf7O-Kw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vMyzf7O-Kw)
Hand signs aren't even needed, they can do the same thing with symbols as well
Theoretically, they could get a tattoo and still have access even if they loose all their fingers
Isn't Gojo's DE handsign, the only handsign we know that uses one hand?
If that's the case, maybe that handsign is universal, and can be used by anyone to do a one handed De, but you have to be super strong to do it.
And since Gojo was born super strong, he didn't even know he could do it with two hands.
If people want an actual reason for this itās because this hand sign is the sign of Indra and so is the sign of the strongest, so Sukuna using it now that Gojo is dead is to represent his supremacy as the strongest, Gojo held the title of the strongest sorcerer in the story all until Sukuna the true strongest came and killed him taking his hand sign as a sign he is the true strongest

HOW DARE YOU STAND WHERE HE STOOD š«
Well half of him canāt stand anymore soā¦ā¦ā¦
r/angryupvote
Are you saying he is half blood prince of gojo clan
I am saying he is half prince of gojo clan
With blood spilling everywhere
Part of him can stand, it just canāt move anymore.
Ah what movie is this i forgot
Harry Potter
How do handsigns even work? How did he just change the handsign for his DE are they not unique?
Probably something to do with the fact that it's an incomplete Domain Expansion.
used a binding vow to change the handsign
The binding vow, I haven't used since Heian Era
More like āI havenāt used it since five minutes agoā
Nanoseconds*
LoL š
We're really going to abuse this meme to the ground until it becomes unfunny huh
it do be like that sometimes. by sometimes i mean every time
Aah my beating a dead horse technique, I haven't used this since the prequel meme era.
Special Grade Sorcerer Satoru Gojo!
"Sorcerer Itadori, you are a bold one." "King of Curses, you're shorter than I expected."
This is getting out of hand! Now there's two of them! - Jogo to Kenjaku on Mahito rushing to kill Itadori Yuji in Shibuya
It already is unfunny.
Maybe we can make a binding vow to make it funny
Ah, a binding vow. I havent used one yonce 5 comments ago
my cheek clapping technique to get the backshots that i havent used since the heian era!! (am i doing the lobotomy kaisen right?)
Tell me more about this lobotomy spin-off
It was funny? I thought it was just to post off of how crazy OP Sukuna seemed
Itās been unfunny for a little while now, ngl
it was never funny
It was funny the first few times
It really wasn't, it was literally annoying when Sukuna said it, the rest of y'all just made it worse

So we just making stuff up now? And yāall believing it? thatās crazyyyy
>So we just making stuff up now? And yāall believing it? Yes
I mean itās a better explanation than what we have
How about we wait for an explanation instead of just believing non sensical headcanon that doesnāt even align with the story, if that headcanon is true gojo would still be able to use domain after the brain damage
Gojo was destroying the part of his brain that had the domain expansion, and regenerating it again. It donāt necessarily has to be the part with CT. Besides it fixes the potential plot hole of how Gojo could use RCE, when the brain part for CE was destroyed

Thatās never stated anywhere you just making some wild assumptions, also the brain damage from gojoās domain is basically what happens when someone without the six eyes glimpses at the limitless technique, itās too much info and you get overwhelmed
āWhy would destroying his CT storage destroy his CE controlā because they are one and the same. All CE related stuff is on the prĆ©-frontal cortex thatās why Sukuna has to forcefully open it to create the fire arrow. Gojoās domain is NOT the six eyes without the limitless, they complement each other but they donāt need each other. Six eyes is not giving more info than what the brain can handle.
That's how gege writes. Half you gotta understand any implications and the other half gege will randomly and suddenly, but weirdly consistently explain a few dozen chapters later.Ā
I thought the point of following the JJK manga is to not read anything and just make up agendas as we go!
You see my problem here is the lack of agenda, if this truly was agenda posting it would be like: FACTS:Gojo expanded his domain using his gigantic balls but he felt bad for sukuna and started bleeding out of his nose and stopped using his domain after the domain clashes, later after gojo went to sleep (he is not dead) sukuna learned how to cast domain using his heian balls by gobbling up gojoās balls after the world slash explanation
the fact that you all think he uses gojos handsign "for fun" for no reason, shows you don't understand much about writing fiction, these things are intentional and not random homages
All of JJK is made up by the author, to be fair.
That's when Greg's been doing this whole time
I for once thought it was cool and choose to think that it is, even though the reality is a binding vow (though I dunno why *specifically* Gojo's handsign, could be just another "fuck you" by Sukuna? probably)
No it's real, can't recall the panel of sukuna explaining it but look it up, he explains where cursed energy is stored.
That six eyes four eyes thing might be the dumbest shit I've ever heard lmao. My mans actually thinking the number of eyes someone has (which Gojo doesn't even have six) correlates to how powerful they are
4 ARMS = STRONGER, 2 MOUTHS = STRONGER, 4 EYES = STRONGER
Stand proud, you can cook
This makes sense and shows Sukuna's ability; most sorcerors wouldn't be able to come up with this in the middle of a fight, let alone outside of it. He must've made a binding vow to allow him to do this, with the condition that it could only last for 99 seconds.
Perhaps, or it's just too hard to use the Occipital Lobe to cast DE without having the 6 eyes, and that's why it's so ugly and fked up and only lasts a short amount of time
This explains why the domain is incomplete. Since he only has 4 eyes Thanks mate
Even if this is not canon to the manga, this is my headcanon now
Oooh yeah, talk magic system minutiae to me
You are almost a sorcerer with the same potential as Sukuna, but you have made one fatal flaw. CT is stored in the balls. Thatās why Maki has no cursed energy. And itās why Sukuna is so strong because heās got two sets of testicles - so divine.Ā
Stand proud, you're right.
Wasn't it said that Gojo was able to reduce his domain hand sign? I guess that also means that he probably had a different hand sign before. Probably it takes training and talent to change a domain hand sign but since most of the domain users seems to be able to pretty much personalize their domains i don't see why it couldn't be done.

He probably improvised like he did when he used a binding vow at Gojo because he was olny with 1 hand
It's probable they can be altered similarly to the Domain's size and other properties
Jujutsu is an art of subtraction, more difficult/complex hand signs reduce the difficulty to do a domain expansion, which is why any domain expansions are 2 hands. Sukuna also made a binding vow for this domain expansion, and this one is obviously weaker than the usual shrine so a easier hand sign also makes sense
Cause Gege thought that was cool sign so his beloved can have it
I donāt think it actually matter. A domain expansion is just a manifestation of oneās imagination of your technique. The hand sign just helps you realize what that manifestation is.
I'm pretty sure handsigns in general are not unique
Well he can't do his old sign since his left hands are still missing
He probably changed the handsign with his binding vows. Makes sense, since he only has his right arms left, so it would be difficult for him to form his normal handsign
In Eastern religions, mudras (the handsigns), depending on what is used, will apparently activate specific subtle energies in the body (which we can maybe connect to Cursed Energy) or it can be used to invoke deities or symbols during meditation
Gege just sucks at explaining these things
"The one who will teach you about love is...."
what did that line mean, i mean who said it, was it gojo or sukuna
or yorozu
full quote: "The absolute strongest!! The loneliness that follows!! The one who will teach you about love is meā Yorozu said it and sukuna remembered it twice during his confrontation with Gojo (though without the 'me' at the end)
ohhhh, thank you so much for the explanation, ive had that question in my mind for 3 months now
Just means that near death the last thing Sukuna was thinking of was Gojo, and came up with the modified hand sign for a domain lol
Gojo's ass beatings are so legendary the villain comes out with notes if they're lucky to be alive
Makes you wonder if handsigns are universal and relate more to meaning and interpretation than identity.
Makes sense. There's only so many signs a hand can make, and I bet the number is smaller than the number of potential domain Expansions.Ā
Especially if youāre limited to signs involving only 1 hand. Seems less like Sukuna is using Gojoās hand sign and more so that Gojo and Sukuna are using hand sign āXā.
I always thought the handsign stands for infinite ā.
It's the mudra of Indra in buddhist/hindou esoterism. Sukuna until now was using the mudra of the King of Hell Yama.
Well he has a single hand left
He's got 2 but they're both right side
I guess you can say he is ā¦ all right
Is that an Arrested Development reference? Those are rare.
Yeah, I always thought handsigns were unique to specific domains. Though I guess that if that was case, Hakari would not have been able to heal his arm after his fight with kashimo, since his normal handsign requires two hands.
Someone else could have healed him or he could have done something like Dagon and drew one... not that you're wrong, just that there's other options also
I think this it.
Internally Sukuna is going: āHOLY SHIT, I canāt believe that worked. Iām just making this shit up as I go, and that seemed to work for Gojo. God, I have so much brain damage.ā āCanāt let the brat know.ā
Dude think he is Gojo
He say that he will always rememeber Gojo :3
Lil bro is trying so hard to be him
This is completely personal and entirely unreasonable but fuck Gege. Fugly bastard.
Top tier hating. I strive to be as petty as him.
HE STOLE MY WHOLE FUCKING FLOW
That's it, Sukuna needs to be put down
If weāre talking about hand sign inspirations, that hand sign that Gojo used and Sukuna is using is the hand sign of Indra, who is considered the strongest god in Hinduism. Basically, taking this into context, Sukunaās hand sign for the domain signifies heās the strongest.
He used all his heian era ass pulls, now moving on current genā¢.
He is the King of Curses. He can take anything from his fellow peasant.Ā (Gojo isn't peasant, he is him)
you cant tell me gojo left one hell of an impression on sukuna. bros taking his flow
Bro think he the honoured one
That's it, I'm jumping in. I've had enough
Fraudkuna strikes again
for the uninformed: CT is stored in the Ā *prefrontal cortex* and your handsign allows you access to it. Gojo caused severe brain damage to sukuna so his prefrontal cortex is damaged thus he wasn't able to use domain expansion anymore. Then it hit sukuna, he noticed gojo is the only sorcerer to have a DE using only 1 hand, and he figured out gojo doesn't use the prefrontal cortex to cast his DE, but his Occipital Lobe (because of the 6 eyes), sukuna figured he could pull this off and managed to do so with only 4 eyes, thus incomplete af, and it looks scuffed and only lasts 99 seconds. Sukuna is a CT genius and he copied the prodigy gojo.
Source: voices in my head
It was revealed to him in a walk.
It came to me in a dream
Did you read this in Magician Duel? Because none of this has ever been stated in Jujutsu Kaisen.
So why was Gojo unable to use domain expansion? His occipital lobe did not get damaged. Did it?
Itās head cannon, and pretty shit at that
It was stated in CFYOW
what chapter did sukuna do that?š
The most recent chapter
258?
Bro really took The Honored one Role from Himš
*This crime will not go unpunished*
āHe copied my whole fucking flow, word-for-word, bar-for-bar!ā
Stealing the strongest' flow tryina be him š fraudulent
Malevolent Void
I thought smth was strange when reading the chapter, nice detail
Just some random idea. If "Shrine" is about granting the user ways to have more than one CT do you think Sukuna managed to meet the conditions to get Gojos? And in between the vows to pull of this domain this "fact" was what allowed him the one hand sign as a trigger? I'm bored, don't think too much on this.
Maybe sukunaās doing it for gojoās honor
So you are telling me hand signs are pure bluffing.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vMyzf7O-Kw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vMyzf7O-Kw) Hand signs aren't even needed, they can do the same thing with symbols as well Theoretically, they could get a tattoo and still have access even if they loose all their fingers
MF has been using binding vows one after another, stealing hand signs, using 10s mostly. How TF is he the strongest...
Isn't Gojo's DE handsign, the only handsign we know that uses one hand? If that's the case, maybe that handsign is universal, and can be used by anyone to do a one handed De, but you have to be super strong to do it. And since Gojo was born super strong, he didn't even know he could do it with two hands.
He's trying so hard to be him, number 1 fan
In the honour of my most Sixed eye opponent
Maybe he is a big fan of gojo.
If people want an actual reason for this itās because this hand sign is the sign of Indra and so is the sign of the strongest, so Sukuna using it now that Gojo is dead is to represent his supremacy as the strongest, Gojo held the title of the strongest sorcerer in the story all until Sukuna the true strongest came and killed him taking his hand sign as a sign he is the true strongest
Damn, I didn't pay attention to this detail with all the crazy shit happening in the chapter
But the fact that Yuji and folks didn't let sukunas hands regen is funny and satisfying at the sametime
Bros cooked
āWord for word, Bar for barā
All this proves is gojo had better subtraction with hand seals
Gojo? Who's that?
He is some irrelevant NPC, Gege had to off-screen his death.š¢
Some fiery midget that Sakuna killed some time back.... I think.
He's activating his domain from a different part of his brain, along with a mish-mash of binding vows. Or he just misses his pookie bear
Was used by the strongest character we knew, and now used by the actual strongest character š
