Hollow Technique: Purple (
Description
This technique collides the lapse and reversal of infinity, merging convergence and divergence. Hollow Technique: Purple is created when the repulsive forces of Red are combined with the attractive forces of Blue, bringing forth imaginary mass. The user then launches the imaginary mass at their target, which deals extensive destructive damage on contact, far superior to Red and Blue.
A blast of Purple can destroy a city, carve through a forest, or disintegrate critical sections of an individual's body depending on its deployment.[1][2][3] If its power is left completely unchecked, it can even damage the caster.[4] Even so, sorcerers can negate these effects; a large magnitude of cursed energy funnelled into bodily reinforcement helps protect against Purple.[5]
Purple is activated with a hand sign that extends the index and pinky fingers outward while leaving the rest folded. Purple is unleashed when the sign switches to a pinching motion using the pointer and thumb while also extending the middle finger, before opening the fingers in an explosive manner.
Usage
Satoru Gojo

Satoru using Purple on Toji after reaching the Limitless' true potential.
Until his second confrontation with Toji Fushiguro, Satoru Gojo was always unable to use Red and therefore never had access to use Purple. Only after the true power of the Limitless was awakened within Satoru could he utilize Red and potentially Purple. Toji was from the Zenin Clan and had information on countering Red and Blue. Purple is a secret even within the Gojo Clan that few know about. Toji was oblivious to the fact that Satoru could unleash such a devastating attack and suffered a direct hit, fatally erasing a large portion of the left side of his body.[6]
Satoru used Purple on a much greater scale to end the enemy invasion on the Kyoto Sister-School Goodwill Event. After dealing with Juzo Kumiya, Satoru noticed Hanami was a fair distance away from him and would likely get away. In an attempt to exorcise the special grade from a great distance, Satoru decided to go all out and unleashed Purple. This annihilated a great portion of the forest and was so nonstandard that Aoi Todo couldn't even tell if Hanami was exorcised.[7]
200% Hollow Purple!!
Satoru's opening move in his showdown with Sukuna was a surprise attack using Purple. In tandem with Utahime Iori's Solo Forbidden Area, Satoru used the hand signs and incantations he would ordinarily omit. This increased the cursed energy output of Purple to 200%. Before Satoru launched it from Shibuya to Shinjuku where Sukuna laid in wait, Kiyotaka Ijichi had used a barrier to conceal Satoru, causing Sukuna to read the attack late. The resulting surprise attack eviscerated around a four-kilometer stretch of buildings between the cities and completely destroyed Sukuna's cursed energy-reinforced arms as he attempted to defend himself at the last moment.[8][9]
An unlimited Hollow Purple.
During the climax of the showdown, Satoru concluded his only way to defeat Sukuna and Mahoraga was with Purple.[10] He improvised during the fight, combining Blue and Red after the two orbs had been fired off separately. Satoru chanted the incantation for Purple's activation as the two infinities collided, resulting in an imaginary mass that carved through Shinjuku. Purple was released as an omnidirectional explosion rather than a directional blast, decimating a massive part of Shinjuku, disintegrating Mahoraga and heavily damaging Sukuna.[11]
Yuta Okkotsu
After gaining control over Gojo's body by copying Kenjaku's cursed technique, Yuta could access Limitless and its extension techniques. Returning to the battle against Sukuna, Yuta tried to finish it before reaching the five-minute time limit on his Copy. He initially tried to fire Hollow Purple at Sukuna during their domain clash, but the King of Curses quickly disengaged his hand sign.[12] He successfully used it after immobilizing Sukuna with Toge Inumaki's Cursed Speech,[13] blasting and significantly damaging part of Sukuna's face. However, Yuta's inexperience with the technique caused him to also damage his domain's barrier, collapsing it.[14]
