Cursed Power and Techniques

Cursed Technique: The name of Kenjaku's cursed technique is unknown, however it is known that his technique allows him to change bodies by replacing the brain, so he is also capable of using the cursed technique that is linked to the body he possesses and will always use the cursed energy of this, this allows him to be invisible even with the Six Eyes[2]. The techniques linked due to his possession of bodies are the following: As Kaori Itadori: "Anti-Gravity Technique" (反重力機構 Anchigurabiti Shisutemu): It is a technique that Kaori Itadori's body possessed, which allows him to generate a gravitational nullification around him, having a range of 2 to 3 meters and with a duration of 6 seconds. As Suguru Geto: Geto's technique is known as "Curse Manipulation Technique" (呪霊操術, Jurei Sōjutsu?). It is an innate technique that allows the invocation and manipulation of cursed spirits[3]. To possess a curse, you must perform an exorcism to take control of it. When the curse is knocked down, a black ball forms in the palm of his hand that allows the curse to be captured when ingested. Once captured, it will be stored and collected along with other curses[4]. The curses possible to invoke are:

* Extreme Curse Manipulation - Tornado: Allows one to perform extreme manipulation and combine all of the curses that one has accumulated through the technique into a single giant-sized curse[5]. The new giant-sized curse is surrounded by a super-condensed amount of curse energy that can be launched directly at the opponent. It does not allow the control of many cursed spirits at the same time and is limited to recycling low-grade curses. Its true power is only revealed through the consumption of first-grade or higher curses, allowing one to extract the innate technique that the spirit has used[1]. Making use of Extreme Curse Manipulation: Tornado, allows him to extract the innate technique of a first-grade or higher cursed spirit. When the extraction process is complete, Geto becomes capable of making use of said extracted technique. The extracted techniques capable of using are: * Free Mutation Technique: It is a cursed technique that allows him to manipulate and transform his opponent's soul at will[7]. It has the particularity that it can modify the structure of the brain of his target; if he has the ability to use a cursed technique or becomes the possessor of certain abilities through the consumption of cursed objects, Free Mutation allows him to modify his abilities until he becomes capable of awakening said abilities. The technique belonged to Mahito.

* Smallpox Deity: Allows the user to summon a special-grade curse capable of infecting others with smallpox. When summoned, it causes the manifestation of its own territorial expansion and its attack mode follows a specific pattern: ① Immobilizes its target in a coffin, ② Encloses the coffin with a stone tablet, ③ Counts down from 3, ④ After the countdown ends, its target can be infected with smallpox. * Namazu: Allows the target to summon a giant catfish beneath their feet. From a first-person point of view, it creates the illusion of falling into the catfish's mouth, causing the target to feel as if they were falling into the void. However, from a third-person point of view, it gives the impression that the target fell to the ground by themselves. The full power of the curse is unknown, but it is known that, according to myths of the past, there once existed a large catfish that moved underground and caused earthquakes to occur.

* Domain Expansion - Enveloping Garbhadhatu/Womb Profusion: This is Kenjaku's domain expansion, it resembles a tree with squatting humanoid statues covered in blood surrounding the base, the trunk is composed of several humanoid faces with expressions of sorrow with some branches protruding from them, and at the top surrounded by female bodies with their arms stuck together, pregnant, headless and with various marks on their bodies with branches coming out of their decapitated necks. The ability of this domain is none other than the sure hit effect, Kenjaku managed to use his Anti-gravity technique to hit Yuki Tsukumo and leave her badly injured, bleeding and with a shattered arm, in turn leaving the entire floor of the place destroyed. Like Ryomen Sukuna's domain, this domain has an open barrier, although the conditions for leaving its barrier open and the scope of the domain are unknown. * Black Flash: This is an offensive technique that occurs when a sorcerer applies cursed energy in an extremely short time interval (0.000001 seconds) right after a physical blow. This causes a distortion of space and an exponential increase in the destructive power of the attack, up to 2.5 times more powerful. Visually, it manifests as a black flash that envelops the sorcerer's fist.
