How do you use Megumi Fushiguro's Shikigami? The essence of the Ten Shadows Technique

Megumi Fushiguro, who appears in Jujutsu Kaisen, is a first-year student at the Jujutsu Technical College, but is a skilled user of the advanced Jujutsu "Tokusa no Kage Houjutsu". The Shikigami he uses are characterized by their tactical and varied fighting style, and are not just a means of attack, but reflect Fushiguro's Jujutsu sense and strategy. In this article, we will explore the mechanism of the "Tokusa no Kage Houjutsu" used by Fushiguro, its appeal, and the essence of his battle style using Shikigami.

1. What is the Ten Kinds of Shadows? A unique technique using shadows

The Ten Kinds of Shadows is a special technique passed down through the Zen'in family for generations, and is the ability to summon Shikigami using shadows as a medium. Using this technique, Fushiguro summons various animal-shaped Shikigami from his own shadow to fight cursed spirits. While other sorcerers directly transform their cursed energy into attacks, Fushiguro summons shikigami and uses them as support or uses his own shadow to develop offense and defense.

How to summon shikigami

Shikigami appear from Fushiguro's shadow. He can summon specific shikigami by putting cursed energy into his shadow and making a summoning seal. Fushiguro's shikigami are mostly "animal-type", and each shikigami has different abilities and roles. In addition, his shikigami can not only be used individually, but can also perform coordinated attacks according to Fushiguro's instructions, which expands the range of tactics in battle.

2. Fushiguro's shikigami: Explanation of types and roles

Fushiguro's Ten Shadows Technique allows him to use ten types of shikigami, but only a portion of them have appeared in the work. Here, we will take a closer look at the shikigami that have appeared so far, their roles, and fighting styles.

1. Gyokuken

Gyokuken is the most basic shikigami that Fushiguro frequently summons. There are two types, black and white, and in battle they often track enemies or directly participate in battle. Gyoku-inu are agile and have an excellent sense of smell, so they are used to find enemies and support on the battlefield. Black Gyoku-inu are particularly powerful and play an important role in Fushiguro's battles.

Role:

Attacker during battle

Tracking and searching for enemies

2. Nue

Nue is a giant bird-shaped Shikigami that has the ability to fly freely in the air. Nue is mainly used for aerial battles and attacks from high places, or as a means of transportation for Fushiguro. It can also perform electric shock-like attacks, making it an excellent long-distance support role.

Role:

Aerial battles and attacks from high places

Wide-range attacks using electric shocks

3. Orochi

Orochi is a giant snake-shaped Shikigami that attacks by choking or biting enemies with its overwhelming power. The giant snake has strong physical powers and is especially effective against large enemies and cursed spirits, but since it has already been defeated in the story, Fushiguro is unable to use this shikigami.

Role:

Powerful physical attacks against large enemies

Restrains opponent

4. Bansho

Bansho is a giant elephant-shaped shikigami with the ability to release large amounts of water. This shikigami is used to attack enemies with powerful water currents or change the environment of the battlefield. It can attack a wide area using the power of water and has the power to dominate the battlefield.

Role:

Wide-range water attack

Battlefield environment manipulation

5. Shadow clone

Fushiguro can also create clones of himself using his own shadow. Attacks using these clones are very effective at confusing opponents and as tactical support. He is good at tactics that confuse opponents, such as hiding in the shadows and moving instantly.

Role:

Disruption and tactical advantage through clones

Surprise attacks using teleportation and shadows

3. What happens when a shikigami is defeated? Disappearance and inheritance of new powers

Fushiguro's shikigami have the characteristic that once defeated, they cannot be used again. This is a restriction of the Ten Shadows Art, and when a shikigami is defeated, its power is lost. However, Fushiguro's shikigami also have a special ability that allows the power of a lost shikigami to be inherited by another shikigami. For example, the black Gyokuinu was strengthened by the defeat of the white Gyokuinu. This inheritance system allows the shikigami to grow through battles and transform into even more powerful beings.

4. Strengths of the Ten Shadows Art: Tactical use in battle

The greatest strength of the Ten Shadows Art used by Fushiguro is its tactical diversity. The shikigami follow Fushiguro's orders and act appropriately according to the situation. For example, he can use Gyokuinu for exploration, Nue for aerial combat, and Manzou for wide-area attacks, allowing for flexible tactics that suit the situation on the battlefield.

In addition to fighting on the front lines, Fushiguro has more strategic options than other sorcerers, such as long-distance attacks and support using shikigami, and surprise attacks and retreats using shadows. As the situation changes from moment to moment in battle, Fushiguro summons the appropriate shikigami each time to toy with his enemies.

5. Megumi Fushiguro's growth and the evolution of the Ten Shadows: the incomplete domain expansion "Integrated Shadow Garden"

Fushiguro broke through his own limits in the story and activated the domain expansion "Integrated Shadow Garden". This is a technique to make the most of the Ten Shadows, and it is a powerful technique that draws the enemy into Fushiguro's shadow, from which the shikigami attack all at once.

Although this domain expansion is still incomplete, it is a technique that shows Fushiguro's high potential, and we can expect to see him grow in the future. In the Dark Garden of Integral Shadows, shikigami may be able to exert even more powerful powers, and if Fushiguro can fully master this technique, his presence as a sorcerer will be even more prominent.

Summary: The diversity of the Ten Shadows and the potential of Fushiguro Megumi

The Ten Shadows used by Fushiguro Megumi is a technique with tactical depth that sets him apart from other sorcerers. The diverse attack styles using shikigami and flexible tactics that make full use of shadows make his battle scenes very exciting to watch. In addition, the special system of inheriting powers through the growth and disappearance of shikigami also expands the possibilities of his sorcery.

I hope to watch his growth as the story goes on, with the hope that we will see Fushiguro further evolve his Ten Shadows, command more powerful shikigami, and complete his domain expansion.
