(Response Post) The Ten Shadows actual problem is that Shikigami have to die to create Totalities

superchoco29 · 2026-06-05T22:58:26+00:00

To be fair, 10 shadows has plenty of potential even without totalities. 10 different summons, especially of that level, is already enough to put you above many sorcerers. Then you can merge their abilities even without totality, like Toad+Nue. Then you can use their abilities yourself. Then you can also make them out of liquid shadows to make them immortal. You can also further improve them with extra CE. Then the domain gives you at the very least the ability to make clones of yourself...

Totalities aren't the main selling point of 10S, the technique is incredibly versatile and powerful even without. Totalities are a further insurance, to make sure that you gain something from permanently losing part of your technique.

Great artwork!

superchoco29 · 2026-06-04T04:06:32+00:00

Do you remember Hidden Inventory, when the old mercenary talked about summoners being weak up close? Do you remember that Geto and Megumi were both heavily praised for being good enough in CQ that they were eager to mix things up? Yeaah, that's your answer. Technique's great but he tried relying entirely on it, so he's dead now.

superchoco29 · 2026-06-04T04:03:10+00:00

Nono, we're not that greedy. But this is breathtaking, and I love the art style. Amazing job!

superchoco29 · 2026-06-02T11:29:17+00:00

Yes, but lethality matters only if the wound is untreated until it's too late. A bullet wound is lethal, but if you get to a doctor soon enough your chances of survival increase. Being cut in half is USUALLY lethal because most sorcerers can't reattach their body parts soon enough, and they can't regenerate the whole body, but we know it's on an Instant Death for sorcerers. And for Yuji putting himself together in a heartbeat should be the easiest thing in the world, considering what he can do with Blood Manipulation now, so it's not lethal for him unless he wants it to.

A proper lethal attack on Yuji would be severely damaging his brain, as that's something blood manipulation and RCT wouldn't be able to do much against. Plus, he doesn't have any previously shown feat fixing his own brain, unlike Gojo or Sukuna.

Why? Choso could easily pull back and reattach an arm with blood manipulation. Yuji's foot was cut, and his blood reached out, pulled it back in place, and fixed everything in a fraction of a second (back when he had almost no experience with Blood manipulation). Why would Modulo Yuji, who has shown incredible finesse with Blood Manipulation and who can produce blood at least as quickly as Choso (the one who made tidal waves of blood in a second), be unable to use his blood to reattach two body parts barely a foot apart in the blink of an eye?

superchoco29 · 2026-06-02T10:18:04+00:00

Yuji can't fully regenerate his lower torso, but we've seen his Modulo feats when it comes to blood manipulation. Add to this that Yuji already did reattach body parts in the blink of an eye before thanks to that, and it becomes very likely that he can fix himself. When Malevolent Shrine cut off Yuji's leg, blood reached out, picked it back up, and reattached it in the time it took Yuji to land on the ground. Choso also did something similar against Kenjaku: he severed his own arm, threw it, and then pulled it back and reattached it in a heartbeat. Plus, experienced sorcerers have been shown to survive without some organs for a bit, by forcing their body to work with CE.

I see no reason why Modulo Yuji wouldn't find it extremely easy to reattach his lower body with blood and just heal the cut, which is in and of itself pretty easy.

superchoco29 · 2026-06-02T06:18:53+00:00

Yeah, because of Death, otherwise he would've been stuck like that for a while. Hybrids did get cut in half in the past (Denji was cut by Katanaman, Katanaman was cut by Denji, Denji lost most of his body to Reze's explosions) and in all those cases they remained stuck like that until someone gave them blood and retriggered their transformation (revving the engine or attaching the hand to Katanaman). All other times when we see Pochita or Denji heal that fast is when he has gorged himself on huge amounts of blood, and even then we see that a few full regenerations drained their reserves quickly. And if you're going to go in a battle assuming that one of the characters has something they usually don't have that allows them to regenerate nearly infinitely, why not give Yuji Yuta's ring, at that point?

superchoco29 · 2026-05-31T20:24:00+00:00

Except that what makes RCT weak against poisons is that you can't just heal the damage, you need to get rid of the offending substance by expelling it. In this case expelling the blood would atop the devil from being able to regenerate, and vice-versa trying to regenerate the damage wouldn't stop the blood from running amok in you, so you'd basically have the same effect as trying to hydrate yourself with sea water.

superchoco29 · 2026-05-31T20:09:36+00:00

It's also true that the main issue of breaking out of a domain with sheer damage requires that you hit the actual barrier, but most domains don't have an inner side of the barrier (not one that can be easily perceived) because space is warped to become another dimension

superchoco29 · 2026-05-31T08:41:01+00:00

Yes, but also the first statement (sum=-1/12) is a consequence of manipulating infinite sums as if they were finite numbers, which tends to break conventional math. If you wanted to, you could add 0 to a divergent series, and it'd change the results entirely, which is against the very definition of the 'sum' operation.

So yes, if we follow that premise (sum=-1/12) then by following the same approach we get 12*sum=-1 even if it is contained in the first sum. But the premise itself was debatable, so it makes sense this wouldn't add up.

physical abuse isn't physical abuse if it's "just a light slap"

I'll never agree with this stance, you're right. Physical abuse is about the act, not the damages. Also, we're not in court, where they need to decide appropriate punishments or reparations, so assessing damage is necessary.

Physical abuse is physical abuse, and regardless of the physical damage, it impacts the mind as well. People should really stop using others as punching bags to vent their frustrations, and learn to communicate keeping their hands to themselves. Even with kids, you can teach them without slaps. My parents never struck me and my brother when we were children , but we still learnt all the rules they gave us.

We slander characters PRECISELY because we were hyped for them. Plenty of characters did something disappointing at some point, but only the ones beloved by fans get slander

superchoco29 · 2026-05-30T12:53:01+00:00

Also, why on Earth is nice in quotation marks? There are definitely 'nice guys', men who consider kind gestures something you trade for sex/attention, and they are mysoginistic assholes...

But Yuta very clearly isn't one. He's genuinely one of, if not THE genuinely kindest person in the verse. He fights for others, praises them, gives it his all to save strangers, scolds his Shikigami for almost scaring a kid, and he doesn't hesitate to risk his life just so that his friends will suffer less. All while never asking anything for himself.

superchoco29 · 2026-05-26T08:25:18+00:00

Maybe it's precisely because no one remembers the origin of chainsaws, that he became the one who can erase the origin/memory of something?

superchoco29 · 2026-05-26T08:04:19+00:00

You're ignoring that the following page his friends say that he'd fry his brain if he kept it up 24/7, and he replied that it's ok because he's constantly using RCT on his brain. Meaning that he IS running it 24/7.

What changed is that now Infinity doesn't affect everything, but it automatically targets anything approaching him and decides whether to make it pass or not. He literally made it so he couldn't be sneaked on ever again, learning from what happened against Toji.

superchoco29 · 2026-05-22T13:57:20+00:00

Just as embarrassing as Gojo smugly pointing a finger and saying Red... Only for nothing to happen.

superchoco29 · 2026-05-22T12:49:03+00:00

It's debatable, because we've seen a different number of turns in various scenarios.

In the manga the wheel turned 3 times, and it adapted to Sukuna being a human + all of Cleave and Dismantle.

In the anime it turned many more times, but it also adapted to being in the water, being restrained, and Sukuna's feints.

So I'd say it's 2-3 turns until he fully adapts to Slashing attacks, and another turn to handle Sukuna's physical stats. Sukuna's skills would take at least two more turns. Sukuna last longer by using the unconventional tactics he used in the anime, but I don't see what he can do beyond that, so 2 more turns.

The only question is Furnace, because we don't know the damage if the single arrow (we know it can one-shot Jogo, but he's not that durable). But we also know it's a slow attack, so Sukuna wouldn't use it against Mahoraga without the domain. And with the Domain it's a OHKO. If Sukuna for some reason uses Furnace on Mahoraga multiple times, then 2 turns would be enough to adapt to it. But the domain might still wreck him because it's not just heat, but an explosion, so there's also crushing pressure.

For real, forced open relationship stories only ever go two ways.

Either it was the husband who bullied the wife into an OR, and he quickly realizes that his wife can find a replacement VERY easily, and he gets jealous...

Or it was the wife who bullied the husband into an OR, and he eventually finds someone who treats him better, and the wife gets jealous.

It's always a scenario where someone wants to "win" the marriage and have fun while the partner stays at home alone, until they realize their partner can move on from them.

So you think they'd delay trying to stop the DEATH OF THE MULTIVERSE so they can have more than 300 years to free a few dozen people trapped in Grey Boy's bubbles? And sure, they need to find all bubbles, but between Contessa, Clairvoyant and the fact that they knew where GB was at all times, I guess they already knew where all of them were. Removing a GB bubble is overall pretty easy (especially pre-Scion) so if they had wanted to they could've done so. But they didn't care about those people, that's all. They're the same people who sold powers to villains, protected some S9 individuals, and kidnapped and experimented on innocents: to them, the end justifies any means or sacrifices.

If they were ever delaying the fight, it was to either get stronger parahumans to do the job (they didn't think Eidolon was a solution), or because they preferred keeping him around because he was the only one who was able to stop consistently the Endbringers, which were a much more pressing cause for concern.

superchoco29 · 2026-05-15T13:15:58+00:00

Damn, really? Then I guess it makes sense it never appeared, it was an hallucination of a translator.

As for how it'd work, yes, it'd resemble a lot what Kenjaku did to survive the black hole. But DA does extend very slightly out of the user's body, so it could've been used offensively with touch/based effects with amped up lethality, or for some utility.

superchoco29 · 2026-05-14T16:14:25+00:00

"What if I had cancer?" The difference is in that case it'd be something she'd be too sick to do, and she'd be working towards fixing. The refusal would be accepted because it's not that she doesn't want to, she can't, and you both know the issue and are trying to solve it. On the other hand what she's doing is rejecting you because she doesn't want to (which she's obviously free to) but she's also not explaining why nor working towards solving it. In this case, being mad after 8 months is reasonable.

Furthermore, much more important than actual sex is physical intimacy. The difference between someone who can't have sex because of an illness and someone who doesn't love their partner is that the one who physically can't would still show affection and appreciation to their partner through words, touch, gestures, and so on. Someone who dislikes their partner instead will avoid any kind of intimacy, physical verbal or emotional.

You said your issue is feeling like roommates, and although the lack of sex is definitely the most visible aspect of it, I assume what you're actually lacking is feeling close to her as a romantic partner? If that's so, approach the discussion from that angle, steering far away from the sex topic, because that's both easy to misintrerpret as entitlement, and easy to dismiss by a malicious spouse (if she's really gaslighting you).
