Divine Dogs (
Description
The Divine Dogs are a pair of twin wolves. One is white and the other one is black. They both have three dots on their forehead of the opposite color that resemble the symbols of the Jewel of Turning Back on the Road and the Jewel of Plenty respectively.
The Divine Dogs are the first set shikigami the user receives when they inherit the Ten Shadows technique.[1] They are summoned by forming the shadow puppet of a dog's head. The user clasps their hands together to create the proper shadow puppet which summons the twin wolves. They can also choose to summon a single dog rather than both.
Usage
Megumi Fushiguro
Megumi uses Divine Dogs to defeat weaker curses with their offensive abilities. They're also useful for tracking scents, able to warn Megumi of incoming curses or lead him to specific targets.
The white dog was killed by a Finger Bearer during Megumi's mission at the Eishu Juvenile Detention Center,[2] preventing it from being summoned ever again. The black dog could still be summoned.
Later on, while Megumi was fighting against Hanami, all the power of the deceased white dog was passed on to its black twin to become Divine Dog: Totality, which was strong enough to damage special grade cursed spirits.[3]
Sukuna
After seizing Megumi's body, Sukuna summoned Divine Dog without fully manifesting its form. Divine Dogs took on the unstable form of fluid shadows to expand their effective range while preventing total destruction. The primary drawback was the shikigami couldn't operate independently from Sukuna's shadow, which compromised its overall strength. However, Sukuna made up for it with his own immense cursed energy capacity and output. Sukuna displayed this ability in his fight with Yorozu but the shadows were quickly blown apart by her liquid metal.[4][5]
