Technique Extinguishment (
Description
This technique extinguishes, as in nullifies or negates, all jujutsu. Barriers, including seals, are no exception. Users can move through barriers at will and destroy them completely if they can target the foundation.[1]
Activating this technique produces blinding arrays of "all-purifying light" that extinguish any curse it comes into contact with. The beams of light take the shape of sharp-edged crosses that rain down and stab into the target. The light can also be used to enshroud the user or produce instruments, such as the trumpet used to activate Jacob's Ladder.[2]
The nullification of cursed techniques not only includes exorcising cursed spirits[3], but cursed objects, as mighty as Ryomen Sukuna, are affected even after incarnation. It's possible that a cursed object could be stripped from their vessel completely, but it's a slim chance of it being successful. Attempting to revert someone back before an incarnation would likely result in the vessel's demise.[4][5]
Usage
Hana using the Angel's technique to strip Sukuna from Megumi's body.
The Angel is famous for her rare ability to extinguish cursed techniques. A similar effect can only be achieved by the special grade cursed tools, the Inverted Spear of Heaven, and the Black Rope. Yuji and his comrades sought her out in the Culling Game on Tengen's recommendation. They believed her technique was the possible way to destroy the special grade cursed object: Prison Realm and free Satoru Gojo.[6] The Angel knew Yuji and Megumi sought her out for her technique when they met. She used its value to bargain with the sorcerers, confirming she could free Satoru Gojo, but only if they helped her slay the Disgraced One.[7]
Hana Kurusu can access the Angel's cursed technique while they're both sharing a body. She moved between the colonies of the Culling Game before rule thirteen allowed players to move freely across their borders.[1] Hana and the Angel attempted to purge Sukuna from Megumi's body early into incarnation. As a cursed object, Sukuna was burned by the arrays of light produced by the technique and injured by a concentrated blast from Jacob's Ladder. Sukuna chose to manipulate Hana into deactivating the technique rather than combatting it head-on.[8] Following this fight, Hana completed her role by freeing Satoru Gojo from the Prison Realm with Jacob's Ladder.[9]
