Bird Strike (
Description[]
In order to erase the limits of their typically weak crows, a Black Bird Manipulator can force their crows to commit suicide in return. By hurling a crow imbued with cursed energy beyond its normal limits, the user can unleash a devastating attack that is normally a one-hit finisher.
Usage[]
Mei Mei first showcased this technique in her jujutsu battle with the special grade disease curse Smallpox Deity. Bird Strike hit the Smallpox Deity from behind and exorcised the special grade immediately. She considers Bird Strike to be the true value of her innate technique and claims no one other than Satoru Gojo has ever survived it.[1]
Mei Mei used Bird Strike against Kenjaku after defeating the Smallpox Deity. However, the technique failed to hit the ancient sorcerer.[2] Mei Mei was almost killed by Kenjaku during their battle and had to escape using Ui Ui's innate technique.[3]
Mei Mei attempted to hit Sukuna with Bird Strike to create an opening for Hiromi Higuruma and Yuji Itadori. The crows were struck down by Sukuna using Kamutoke before they could hit him.[4] Observing this, Mei Mei suggests that Bird Strike could do lasting damage to sorcerers on the level of Satoru Gojo, Kenjaku, and Sukuna if it hits.[2]
Trivia[]
- The kanji used in the name of this attack are the same ones used in the word "Divine Wind" (
神 風 Kami Kaze?). This is in reference to the self-sacrificial nature of Bird Strike, likening it to the Kamikaze units that were utilized by Japan during World War II.
