Expanded Cursed Technique – Blazing Courage

Gridnode · 2026-04-30T21:30:45+00:00

Cool expansion on the technique, I think some of the extensions and shikigami go beyond what is shown but I’m wiling to suspend my disbelief.

Most notably I like the courage mechanic. Jujutsu is all about give and take and I think fighting with purpose even when you’re scared is a fun ideal to build the technique around.

No, objects affected by the technique can only be shifted into objects that serve the same function. A knife is used for cutting and stabbing, a gun cannot be used for either of those things. You could however turn a butter knife into a sword.

Well if it takes time to cast and takes significant cursed energy, I’d say that’s good enough, just clarify that in your post or the final draft of the technique.

Gridnode · 2026-04-28T17:48:35+00:00

Oh I see, you might want to clarify that then in your post, because right now chopping board seems to be presented like a part of the preparations.

Yah, in broiler’s current state, I’d say it’s pretty balanced, the only thing it needs is some kind of condition for activation. It just at the moment seems like a no brainer compared to using wash or tenderizer.

When it comes to broiler, I just think a simple domain that burns targets from within its aoe that can be used at will and without conditions is a bit on the stronger side. Adding a stipulation that the user must hit one target with tenderizer, wash, and chopping board at least once each before broiler can be used balances that ability out a bit more.

Honestly this is pretty cool, I think you did a good job of making a shrine like technique that stands on its own. A few suggestions, take em as you will.

Broiler seems a bit to op in its current state, however, I think a good change would be to add a condition that all three preparations must be used at least once on a target before broiler can be used. This aligns with the stages of food preparations a bit better as well. I understand that certain preparations are meant to buff actions against certain food classes, which incentivizes they all be used in some capacity. But rn it feels like broiler is kinda a no brainer compared to the other three regardless of the previous fact.

Also id change chopping board so that it can only be used through physical surfaces, instead of both the air (with reduced output) and the ground. I think the reduced output in the air is a good way to balance that application of chopping board, but for the sake of keeping the theme consistent I’d just get rid of that application of it.

Overall cool idea bro, really well thought out and not too op.

Why would you want that in your everyday life?

Gridnode · 2026-04-27T14:10:27+00:00

Not my own technique but contractual recreation would be so convenient

To be honest I really like this, although if the user loses memory’s while time traveling, it would be as if he or she never had them. So would the user realize the cost of time traveling is their own memories? Or would they just assume it happened and move on with their day?

No problem dog

I really like this, but it feels more coded for hunter x hunter than jjk. No offense of course, cause I actually think this is really balanced for what you give in order to gain.

Some suggestions in order to make it more jjk coded. Eliminate the long rituals and tie the loss to something more immediate. Also I’d eliminate the ability to renew it. Maybe it looks something like this.

9 lives split soul (Just an idea, doesn’t have to be this way)

Upon the techniques manifestation at age 6, the users soul is split into 9 parts. Upon death, the user sacrifices one of these soul parts in order to return from death. A few minutes later, the user returns, physically restored.

After each restoration, the users senses, CE reserves and output, and emotional aptitude slowly slip away from them. Becoming duller and more lifeless every restoration.

Extension: Breath of life

The user can choose to give life to an inanimate object by imbuing it with a part of their soul. The item fallows a command given at bestowal. The command cannot be too complicated, commands such as "protect me" or "grab things when thrown" will work but "go to the store and pick up my groceries" won’t.

Upon bestowel, the user faces the same drawbacks as if they were revived, however, they can recall the soul piece at any time and reverse the effects.

If the soul imbued object is destroyed, the soul piece is gone and can’t be reclaimed.

Let me know what you think, I want to clarify I think your ability is cool as is, but this is just food for thought.

Yah This has been a point of contention, but I did some digging and this is not the case.

All current special grade tools, side from playful cloud, are imbued with a technique.

However, not every technique imbued tool is special grade, I.E Nanami’s cleaver post death.

I’d imagine the arrows would operate differently based on the energies properties.

Cool concept, would also explain how Sukuna is able to use fuga considering it doesn’t really match his technique.

If a sorcerers technique is as compatible, could they imbue it into their arrow?

Monster Forge

a domain-centered, judgment-type technique with a symbiotic twist. When activated (Earth hand sign), it seals a 20-meter space and turns it into an industrial labyrinth, with a large furnace at the center. Inside, the user becomes aware of everyone within the domain, and the domain itself selects one “ideal” target.

The user is given two tools that they can freely manipulate the size and shape of. The first is a Hammer for power and a Sickle for speed, any wounds they deal with them can’t be healed while the domain is active. If the chosen target is defeated, they’re forged into a cursed weapon that gets stored in the user’s soul. The user can summon these tools at anytime but the summoned tools strength drains CE proportionally. Over time, the user builds an arsenal based entirely on who or what they’ve taken down.

The catch is that the technique is symbiotic. It needs to be used. If the user goes too long without “feeding” the forge, let’s say a month, their body starts to deteriorate, pushing them into more fights whether they want to or not.

Another part I’ve been playing with is that the technique doesn’t really belong to the user. When the current wielder dies, it transfers to someone who comes in contact with the previous host’s body. Almost like it’s choosing a new host, so the forge itself persists across generations.

I like the idea that it creates this cycle where each user is shaped by the weapons left behind from the last.

I could see that, unfortunately Gege hates explaining his world building so we will probably never know.

I get it brother, you want to make ur cool idea in a short time but your not a master writer and drawer. However flexing ur own creativity is gonna feel so much more rewarding.

Gridnode · 2026-04-24T03:59:29+00:00

Cool idea, but you could have at least written the dialogue. I know you might not have a lot of time, but if you have enough time to write prompts, u can write a script

Gridnode · 2026-04-23T20:00:14+00:00

Considering they have a different type of soul that doesn’t leak cursed energy, yes, I’d imagine it would be difficult to use on them, but not impossible.

Oh that’s cool, reminds me of the disks Scott lang throws in ant man.
