Esoteric Technique: Hollow Wicker Basket (
Description
The technique is invoked by a hand sign where the user folds fingers between one another while extending their arms forward. As implied by its name, Hollow Wicker Basket takes the form of a spherical, woven basket-like shield around the user.
It neutralizes a domain's barrier imbued with a cursed technique to nullify its guaranteed hit. However, it cannot neutralize cursed techniques themselves, making it ineffective against incomplete or non-lethal domains.[1]
Usage
Reggie Star
As a sorcerer from the past, Reggie Star used Hollow Wicker Basket instead of Simple Domain. He displayed his ability to use the anti-domain technique in his fight with Megumi, immediately activated upon getting trapped inside the latter's Domain Expansion. However, he was unaware Megumi's Chimera Shadow Garden was incomplete and did not incorporate a can't-miss attack. Megumi's toads and clones took physical shape before attacking Reggie, rendering Hollow Wicker Basket ineffective.[2]
Hajime Kashimo
Hajime considered using Hollow Wicker Basket to counter the guaranteed hit of Kinji Hakari's Idle Death Gamble. However as the latter's guaranteed hit is the transmission of information about the domain, Hajime abandoned this idea.
Sukuna
In response to Yuta Okkotsu's Authentic Mutual Love, Sukuna used Hollow Wicker Basket to neutralize the domain's barrier and disable its sure-hit effect. Due to the imbued technique being Angel's Technique Extinguishment, Sukuna is forced to maintain the anti-domain technique, thus occupying half of his arms and mouths.[3] When threatened by Yuji's domain, Sukuna activated Hollow Wicker Basket to neutralize its sure-hit effect and maintained the technique with two of his hands, compensating for its weak output.[4]
