Domain Amplification (
Description[]
The user expands their domain thinly over their entire body like a cloak. While domain amplification is active, the user can neutralize the sure-hit effects of any domain expansion. The technique will also neutralize the cursed technique of anyone touched by the user, granting the user flexibility in combat. However, its primary drawback is that an innate technique cannot be activated at the same time, limiting the user to relying on hand-to-hand combat.[1][2][3][4]
Domain amplification can also be used while using domain expansion since the user's cursed technique is imbued into the domain expansion's barrier rather than being engraved in their body.[5]
Usage[]
Jogo & Hanami[]
Satoru Gojo believes Jogo and Hanami learned to use domain amplification from a curse user, likely Pseudo-Geto. During their battle with Satoru on the Fukutoshin Line Platform in Shibuya, Jogo and Hanami used domain amplification. It was powerful enough to include a sure-hit factor but they refrained from doing so to free up the necessary capacity to pour in Satoru's Limitless technique and neutralize Infinity.[6][3]
Satoru claimed that if barrier techniques box their target in, domain amplification surrounds them with water that emulates the feeling of pushing back against a domain.[7] To counter, Satoru deactivated Limitless to lure Hanami into activating their innate technique. Unable to use amplification at the same time, Hanami was instantly vulnerable to Satoru's offense. He also countered their amplification by strengthening his Limitless technique and exorcised the weakened Hanami by crushing them into dust at close range.[8]
Sukuna[]
During his duel with Satoru Gojo, Sukuna used domain amplification to neutralize Satoru's Infinity in order to allow him to physically attack Satoru. While Sukuna was still susceptible to the rules of being unable to use his cursed technique and domain amplification simultaneously, his exceptional cursed energy control allowed him to seamlessly switch between using his cursed technique and domain amplification when the situation fitted him in this battle.[9] While engaged with Satoru in the second round of their domain duel, Sukuna revealed himself to be capable of using domain amplification while also using domain expansion, allowing him to effectively remain in physical combat with Satoru as to negate Unlimited Void's sure-hit effect and buy the time needed for Malevolent Shrine to destroy Unlimited Void.[10]
Hiromi Higuruma[]
After Higuruma was separated from the rest of the sorcerers during their all-out battle against Sukuna, he was attacked by the King of Curses' cursed technique. However, having learned how to perform domain amplification while observing Satoru's showdown against Sukuna,[11] he used the anti-domain technique to neutralize the slashes, mitigating the damage done to him.[12]
Trivia[]
- Translation Note: "Amplification" as a translation for "Ten'en" (展延?) can be misleading, as amplification equates to enhancement. In this case, Ten'en means to envelop or can be more literally translated to the small-range expansion of a domain as opposed to domain expansion's long-range expansion.
