5:51 i think yall forgot that he cut mahoragas foot off, so he was holding his foot in his hand to hit sukuna lol

Mappa Animators HAD TO COOK, or else they ain't seeing they families for two more weeks

Mahoraga's "shadow boxing" was him actually just punching Sukuna's technique. He had adapted to it enough at this point to take countermeasures instead of straight up tanking it, pretty cool little detail!

Mahoraga's power is as quoted: "The ability to adapt to anything and everything"

This includes things like increased durability and regeneration over time against things he's already faced

Mahoraga can see Sakuna's attacks so him "punching the air" is him trying to counter sakuna's technique

Yes, I watched all 18 minutes and 53 seconds within 20 seconds.

when he was hitting the air he was trying to punching the slashes

He adapts to all attacks and can nullify them after adapting. But he needs time to adapt. So to beat him you have to one shot him or even two shot him if the attack is complex. The harder an attack is to adapt the more chances you have to kill him in one hit. Just know that if the second hit doesn’t one shot him he will adapt faster.

2:00 in order for megumi to control his summons he must first beat them in a subjugation ritual for them to obey. But he hadn't tamed mahoraga

Manga spoliers: as u see Sukuna defeats mahoraga by using a move he couldnt adapt to, and to answer ur questions Sukuna does use him againist gojo

15:42 he adapted to drowning 🙏

I like how they ask "How does he have his foot all the way over his head" while pausing when its explained that Mahoraga just grabbed his foot instead

-Megumi's "Ten Shadows" technique comes with ten untammed shikigamis. Whenever he wants to tame one, he has to summon it and then defeat it. He never tammed Mahoraga, so the moment he appeared he beat the shit out of him. After that, it would have indeed unsummoned itself, but because Megumi included Haruta in the summoning as a "shikigami beating partner" or something, Mahoraga was off to kill him as well, and after that he would have been gone. Yes, defeating a shikigami with help makes it weaker once Megumi summons it again, so he couldn't have gotten help from Gojo to tame it.

-Mahoraga's special hability as a shikigami is the capability to adapt to all phenomena. This normally works after being hit by an attack a lot of times in a row, and it activates once the wheel of it's head spins. The only thing that Sukuna was doing the entire time was using "Cleave" on him, so the moment of the spin, Mahoraga gained the ability to regenerate, see and block Sukuna's cleave (the shadowboxing), as Sukuna's cuts are invisible to the naked eye. However, he didn't adapt to the entire concept of "cutting", just Sukuna's "cleave", so the moment Sukuna opened his domain, he was hitted endlesly by both "cleave" and "dismantle", wich only left it able to regenerate till it's limit of the adaptation (apparently it has a limit of 3 times that the wheel can spin, don't really know why or how).

-Once done, because the shikigami was killed by a third party, Mahoraga didn't count as tammed, so Megumi couldn't use it. However, when Sukuna took control of his body using the legal voids of his pact with Yuji (that he could take his body for a minute whenever he said "extension" with the condition that he doesn't harm his friends, so he harmed himself to make a cursed finger and made Megumi eat it), Mahoraga was apparently tammed for Sukuna. It's not specified whether it was tammed because of the clash in Shibuya or if Sukuna tammed it off screen in the three months that Gojo said he would wait to fight Sukuna, but it was clear that Sukuna used it better than Megumi, because he learned to insert his shikigami habilities on himself, so once Mahoraga adapted to Gojo's infinity, Sukuna got it as well and made a cut "able to cut the entire universe" or something. "The world-cut", because as long as space existed, his infinity would be still cutted by that.

-On the same Shinjuku Showdown, Gojo killed Mahoraga and Agito (the thick fusion of all the other shikigamis combined), so Sukuna can't use it nor it's ability anymore, but he still has the world-cut thing, wich nobody can tank with domain amplification or anything like that but they can still dodge it apparently if they are fast and see it comming like Maki did later on, so either Gojo let himself get cut or he didn't saw it (weird thing because with the Six Sexy Eyes he should be able to see cursed energy more than anyone else, even better than Mahoraga).


Well then, that should cover all the doubts. That wasn't easy.


Edit: I forgot to mention the fire arrow. Because Mahoraga only got hit with cleave and phisical attacks, it only adapted to that, so the moment Sukuna pulled the hellflares the shikigami got smoked and there was no amount of regeneration that could save it, as it was to much occupied trying to survive the domain. Probably it would if it had adapted to flames it could have survived, but it didn't. That's why Megumi's other shikigamis have this variety of goofy ahhh attacks (the water elefant, the electric owl, the biting dogs, the gangsta bunnies, etc), so that Mahoraga can never fully adapt to something the moment of the tamming ritual. Is that or killing it on one blow, wich is the aproach that both Sukuna and Gojo took in their respective battles. Sukuna would have also killed it at the start of the fight if he used the domain first, but instead he wanted to play with his food. That's why at first it was moving more tank like, but once he adapted to Sukuna's fight style it was moving so devious.

Btw Megumi actually had to fight and tame the curses he summons from his CT, Mahoraga is almost untameable cuz bro adapts to everything, hense why he uses it as a last resort and kinda a F u to huruta.

Yeah, sukuna defeated his ah by using a domain followed by that flame arrow. Just goes to show you how hard it is to defeat this dude.

7:18 Mahoraga can adapt to attacks and situations hes in

13:14 that "HeEeE" was wild

Yo imma NEED that mahoraga vs sukuna hood edition by rabsopetty🙏🏻😭‼️

Mahoraga could see sukunas cursed technique so that why he was shadow boxing like that

Hell nah Mahoraga got cooked so hard he got PTSD from Sukuna doing the Jackson

Thats crazy
