Agito chimera and Mahoraga

Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga Makora?) is the most powerful shikigami of the Ten Shadows Technique. its entire history, no user of the Ten Shadows Technique except Suku Throughoutna has been able to tame it.[1]

Description Mahoraga is conjured by the user using an incantation that recites "With this treasure, I summon..." (布ふ瑠る部べ由ゆ良ら由ゆ良ら, Furube Yurayura?) before invoking the Divine General's name. Rather than form a shadow puppet with their hands to manifest the shikigami, the user simply extends both arms forward at a slight upward angle with their fists closed.

The shikigami itself is a towering, muscular humanoid figure with four wings protruding from its eye sockets and a tail-like appendage extending from the back of its head. Hovering just above this is a large eight-handled wheel (法ほう陣じん, hōjin?) that rotates as Mahoraga responds to new stimuli. "Furu's Incantation" of the Ten Sacred Treasures and this wheel represents a "perfect cycle" and "harmony".[2] Mahoraga also sports black hakama bottoms and a white sash around its waist to cover most of its lower body. Mahoraga has the strength to shatter concrete or to hit someone through multiple buildings with a single blow, and its speed is great enough to surprise even the likes of Satoru Gojo. Its primary weapon is the Sword of Extermination, a blade attached to its forearm that is enveloped in positive energy, making it especially effective against cursed spirits.[3] The Divine General's most notable power is the adaptation (適てき応おう, tekiō?) to any and all phenomena, made visible through the turning of its wheel. If the General is hit by a particular attack, the wheel turns once the attack is analyzed, and Mahoraga adapts; if its opponent uses that same technique again, Mahoraga will counter it from then on.[4][5] Generally speaking, Mahoraga's adaptations can be defensive in nature (becoming physically resistant/immune to attacks while healing any injuries incurred pre-adaptation),[6][7] auxiliary (eg, allowing the General to become able to see normally invisible attacks),[8] as well as offensive in nature (letting Mahoraga modify the properties of its own attacks to overcome and bypass enemy defenses, such as switching from positive to cursed energy around its sword depending on whether it faces a curse or human sorcerer, or developing space-cutting slashes to overcome a barrier of "infinity").[9][10]

Megumi bearing Mahoraga's adaptation A soul that inhabits the user can wear Mahoraga's wheel and bear the burden of the process of its adaptation. Mahoraga's adaptation process begins analyzing an attack upon initially receiving it, with its progress being indicated by the number of times the eight-handled wheel spins. After a certain amount of time, the adaptation is completed. During this time, if Mahoraga is hit by the same attack additional times, the process is sped up each time. Even after its adaptation is complete, Mahoraga can continue its analysis and develop different ways to counter the phenomenon.[11] If Mahoraga is tamed, its user can bear the burden of adaptation. This means the user can wear Mahoraga's wheel and experience attacks so the shikigami can adapt to them without incurring the risk of destruction. Once the process is completed, Mahoraga can be summoned with the results of the adaptation already in effect.[12][13]

Usage Megumi Fushiguro Megumi summons Mahoraga (Anime) Megumi summoning Mahoraga as a last resort. Mahoraga is the most uncontrollable shikigami in the history of the Ten Shadows Technique; no sorcerer of the Zenin Clan has ever managed to tame it. However, users of the Ten Shadows Technique can summon it via a ritual in an attempt to defeat and subjugate it at any time. Sukuna vs. Mahoraga continued (Anime) Mahoraga competing physically with Sukuna. Other people can be included in the ritual, but those individuals defeating the shikigami would not allow the Ten Shadows user to subsequently command it. As such, attempting to summon Mahoraga this way is considered rather pointless. However, Megumi views this ritual summoning ability as an effective, though suicidal, trump card. For if summoned in such a manner, Mahoraga would first kill Megumi and then attack, and hopefully kill, his opponent. As such, Megumi is often seen to consider using this suicide pact as a way to defeat opponents who were going to kill him regardless. Megumi Fushiguro ultimately summoned Mahoraga after being severely injured by Haruta Shigemo and Toji Fushiguro in Shibuya. Due in part to his serious injuries, Megumi was brought to the brink of death by a simple backhand from Mahoraga.[14] However, Sukuna arrived before Mahoraga could kill Haruta and saved him, which kept the ritual in progress. Sukuna, who had saved Haruta on instinct, realized that Megumi was alive but in a state of suspended animation, which would persist so long as Mahoraga did not kill Haruta. Sukuna also quickly realized that in order to keep Megumi alive for his future plans, he would have to first stabilize Megumi's condition, and then defeat Mahoraga.

Sukuna slashes Mahoraga continued (Anime) Mahoraga adapting to Sukuna's slashes. The King of Curses admitted Mahoraga was quite strong, capable of adapting to his moves and counterattacking. Its initial attacks didn't work on Sukuna, and it suffered heavy damage from his Dismantle technique. Once the wheel on his head turned the first time, Mahoraga felt Sukuna crashing through numerous buildings using cursed energy rather than positive energy. It was also able to see and deflect Dismantle the next time Sukuna attempted to use it.[15] Mahoraga's adaptability is not limited to specific movements but all related phenomena. Sukuna believed Mahoraga could have adapted slashing attacks in general after just experiencing Dismantle. Mahoraga's adaptation can only be countered by hitting it with a different attack than whatever previously injured it. Sukuna won the fight by using Malevolent Shrine to relentlessly slash the shikigami before finishing it off with his Divine Flame. Before doing so however, he expressed a renewed interest in Megumi's abilities, for he had not known about Mahoraga's existence before encountering the shikigami.[16]

Sukuna Mahoraga destroys True Sphere Mahoraga destroys Yorozu's True Sphere. Sukuna seized Megumi's body through incarnation and gained the ability to use the Ten Shadows Technique. He became the first user of the technique ever to tame Mahoraga. During his battle with Yorozu, Sukuna took on the burden of adapting to counter her Construction technique. The adaptation process was already complete when Yorozu expanded his domain and threatened to hit Sukuna with True Sphere. Sukuna summoned Mahoraga by dropping its wheel into his shadow and switched places with the shikigami. Mahoraga immediately destroyed True Sphere despite its untouchable nature and then lethally injured Yorozu with a slash across the chest, instantly collapsing the domain.[17] Mahoraga summoned within Unlimited Void Mahoraga summoned to counter Satoru Gojo. Sukuna heavily exploited Mahoraga's adaptation against Satoru Gojo to counter the Limitless. five domain clashes, Sukuna used the Ten Shadows Technique to throughout have Megumi's soul bear the burden of adapting to Unlimited Void.[18] As a result, Mahoraga had adapted to Gojo's domain by the fifth clash and rescued Sukuna from the domain's effect.[19] Adapting to Unlimited Void was Sukuna's first objective with the Infinity being the next. Sukuna bore the burden of adaptation himself, wearing Mahoraga's wheel as he engaged Gojo in hand-to-hand combat. The wheel blackened and the adaptation process paused whenever Sukuna activated amplification.[20] The complex nature of the Limitless required a full five turns of the wheel before Mahoraga adapted.[21]

Mahoraga adapts to Infinity and injures Gojo. Mahoraga was summoned automatically once the wheel spun the fifth and final time. Sukuna was unconscious and Mahoraga still appeared, having adapted to both the Infinity and Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue. It rose from Sukuna's shadow and pulled Gojo down into it to immobilize him before slashing him across the shoulder with the Sword of Extermination.[22] Mahoraga's adaptation changed the nature of its own cursed energy to negate the Infinity on contact. Sukuna used the openings where the Infinity was neutralized to land attacks and even summoned Merged Beast Agito to attack three-on-one and fully capitalize.[23][24] Mahoraga cuts off Gojo's arm Mahoraga throws a slash and cuts off Gojo's arm. Gojo effectively fought off both Mahoraga and Agito at the same time while Sukuna awaited further adaptation. This occurred once Mahoraga's wheel turned again, allowing it to launch a slashing attack that targeted and cut the space in which an object existed, rather than cutting the object directly. This allowed Mahoraga to bypass Gojo's Infinity at range, and gave Sukuna a model to modify his Dismantle technique similarly. The attack sliced Gojo's right arm clean off and left a deep gash in the building behind him. When Gojo destroyed Agito with Blue, Mahoraga was unaffected by the gravitational pull and protected Sukuna from it.[25] Satoru Gojo intercepts Mahoraga Mahoraga adaptation to Blue backfires as Gojo uses its speed to intercept Mahoraga. Gojo restored his arm and landed a Black Flash on Mahoraga. It withstood the attack but was still knocked back behind Sukuna. Gojo threw Sukuna into Mahoraga's arms and landed another Black Flash. Mahoraga blocked it with the flat of the Sword of Extermination but the shikigami was still sent crashing through a wall from the impact and injured its arm.[26]

Satoru Gojo intercepts Mahoraga Mahoraga adaptation to Blue backfires as Gojo uses its speed to intercept Mahoraga. Gojo restored his arm and landed a Black Flash on Mahoraga. It withstood the attack but was still knocked back behind Sukuna. Gojo threw Sukuna into Mahoraga's arms and landed another Black Flash. Mahoraga blocked it with the flat of the Sword of Extermination but the shikigami was still sent crashing through a wall from the impact and injured its arm.[26] Sukuna attempted to use Mahoraga to stop Gojo from casting Hollow Purple in the fight's climax. Mahoraga leaped high through the air to prevent the Blue left over from destroying Agito from combining with Red to unleash Purple. Gojo intercepted Mahoraga by using Blue's field of attraction. Unaffected by Blue, Mahoraga's indiscriminate adaptation was backfired because it couldn't take advantage like Gojo. It suffered a fierce uppercut from Gojo and was knocked away before it could complete Sukuna's order. Mahoraga and its wheel were completely disintegrated by Hollow Purple once Gojo successfully unleashed it.[27]

Nue: Totality - Merged Beast Agito is an improved version of Nue with the powers of Great Serpent, Tiger Funeral, and Round Deer.[1] It can be summoned by the Ten Shadows Technique of the Zenin Clan.

Description Merged Beast Agito is Nue combined with Great Serpent, Tiger Funeral, and Round Deer but it is unknown if the destruction of the other shikigami is required for Nue: Totality to inherit their abilities. Merged Beast Agito is a towering and muscular humanoid shikigami with a feathered mane, a mask over its face that resembles Nue's, feathered arms that end in claws, black antlers that protrude from its head, a feminine torso with black stripes, tiger-like feet, and a tail that ends in a snake's head. It also sports black hakama bottoms. It is a powerful shikigami with the ability to attack, defend, and provide support for its user. Its notable traits are its ability to produce Nue's electricity and regenerate with Round Deer's reverse cursed technique.

Usage During his battle with Satoru Gojo, Sukuna used Nue: Totality to merge Nue, Great Serpent, Tiger Funeral, and Round Deer and summon Merged Beast Agito. Sukuna, Mahoraga, and Agito attacked Gojo three-on-one using openings created by Mahoraga's adaptation to the Infinity. Satoru Gojo fighting Mahoraga and Agito Merged Beast Agito fighting in tandem with Mahoraga. Merged Beast Agito primarily fought in tandem with Mahoraga by following up on every attack, attempting to restrain or stun Gojo. It first tried to grab Gojo after he avoided a punch from Mahoraga. Gojo's speed allowed him to slip through Agito's grasp and move away from it and behind Mahoraga.[2] After missing its second attempt at grabbing Gojo, Merged Beast Agito was punched through the abdomen with Black Flash. Agito immediately regenerated the wound with Round Deer's reverse cursed technique. When Gojo ripped the head of its snake tail, Merged Beast Agito subsequently regenerated that as well.[3] Merged Beast Agito healing Merged Beast Agito regenerating its wounds. Merged Beast Agito generated a current of electricity between its palms and positioned itself behind Gojo while he was fighting Mahoraga. However, Gojo turned to face Agito and disrupted the electrical current with his technique, stating that the shikigami was repeating its attack patterns. Gojo deduced the shikigami that comprised Merged Beast Agito and prioritized destroying it over Mahoraga to prevent it from healing Sukuna.[4]

When Mahoraga sliced off Gojo's right arm after further adapting to Limitless, Sukuna attacked in combination with both shikigami. Merged Beast Agito circled behind Gojo while Mahoraga and Sukuna knocked him back. Agito tried to land an electrified punch from behind but it was stopped by the Infinity. Gojo counterattacked with a fist empowered by Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue and thrust it into Agito's body. Releasing Blue at maximum cursed energy output, Gojo forced Agito's body to implode on itself into the shape of a ball until it was completely crushed.[5]
