In Chapter 246, a pivotal moment emerged as the sorcerers, driven by the urgency of battle, showcased their honed skills. This pivotal scene brought to light a crucial misunderstanding regarding a specific cursed technique, altering the interpretation of a significant confrontation.

Following Kashimo's tragic demise, the swift intervention of Higuruma and Yuji in the battle against the King of Curses set the stage for an intense clash. Additionally, the entry of Kusakabe and others into the fray intensified the high-stakes combat. Notably, Choso and Ino confronted Sukuna, while Kusabake prioritized Higuruma's well-being, setting the scene for Gege Akutami's intervention to rectify the confusion surrounding a particular technique.

The Revelation

Amidst the simultaneous onslaught on Sukuna by the sorcerers, his keen observation unveiled the significant advancements in their abilities. Notably, Sukuna discerned the impact of Kusakabe's Simple Domain, acknowledging that it mitigated the effects of his Dismantle technique. This revelation shed light on the intricacies of the cursed techniques and their interactions, sparking a pivotal clarification by Gege Akutami.

The encounter between Kusakabe and Sukuna highlighted the utilization of Simple Domain as a defense against the formidable Dismantle. However, Gege Akutami's insight, shared through Viz Mangaka Musings, emphasized a critical distinction. The interchange of terms 'weakening' and 'neutralizing' unveiled the subtle complexity of the technique and its true effect on Sukuna's cursed abilities.

Navigating the Complexity

Gege Akutami's clarification not only dispelled the misunderstanding surrounding the technique but also offered a deeper understanding of its nuanced nature. The revelation that Simple Domain does not neutralize the curse itself, as previously misconstrued, unveiled the intricacy of its impact on Sukuna's Dismantle.

While the distinction between 'weakening' and 'neutralizing' may seem subtle, it unraveled the adaptable nature of Simple Domain. The flexible customization and binding vows associated with the technique underscored its versatility, offering a compelling insight into the intricacies of Jujutsu Kaisen's power system.
