Domain Expansions represent the peak of jujutsu sorcery. Each creates a unique pocket dimension where the user’s technique becomes guaranteed. Let’s rank every Domain Expansion and explain what makes each special.
How Domain Expansions Work
Basic Mechanics
- User manifests their innate domain using a barrier
- Cursed technique becomes “guaranteed hit” inside
- Traps opponents until destroyed or depleted
- Extremely costly in cursed energy
- Most users can only deploy once per day
Countering Domains
- Stronger Domain: Overwrites weaker one
- Simple Domain: Creates neutral space
- Domain Amplification: Nullifies techniques
- Breaking the barrier: From outside
The Rankings
S-Tier: Malevolent Shrine
User: Sukuna
Effect: Infinite slashing attacks fill the domain
Why it’s the best:
- No barrier: Manifests in reality, not separate space
- Binding vow (open domain) increases power
- Range up to 200 meters
- Escape is theoretically possible but practically isn’t
- Can overwrite any other domain
A-Tier: Unlimited Void
User: Gojo Satoru
Effect: Infinite information overwhelms the brain
What makes it terrifying:
- Victims experience infinite knowledge simultaneously
- 0.2 seconds inside = two months recovery
- Gojo can selectively spare allies (with physical contact)
- Perfect 99% sure-hit rate
A-Tier: Chimera Shadow Garden
User: Megumi Fushiguro
Effect: Everything becomes shadow for manipulation
Potential:
- Incomplete but still devastatingly effective
- Megumi can manifest unlimited shikigami
- Ground becomes liquid shadow
- Sukuna recognized its value immediately
B-Tier: Coffin of the Iron Mountain
User: Jogo
Effect: Volcanic environment dealing constant fire damage
Strengths:
- Environmental damage is automatic
- Most opponents would die from heat alone
- Jogo’s techniques become massively enhanced
Weakness: Gojo no-sold it completely
B-Tier: Self-Embodiment of Perfection
User: Mahito
Effect: Guaranteed soul manipulation
Deadly because:
- Idle Transfiguration becomes undodgeable
- Can reshape anyone’s soul/body
- Nearly killed Yuji and Nanami together
B-Tier: Horizon of the Captivating Skandha
User: Dagon
Effect: Endless ocean with guaranteed death shikigami
Features:
- Surrounded by deep water (weakens movement)
- Infinite shikigami pursue targets
- Sure-hit constantly summons new shikigami
C-Tier: Authentic Mutual Love
User: Higuruma
Effect: Courtroom trial for “crimes”
Unique mechanics:
- No sure-hit attack—relies on judgement
- If opponent is guilty, Higuruma gains Executioner’s Sword
- Executioner’s Sword removes cursed technique with one hit
- Very conditional but high reward
C-Tier: Deadly Sentencing
User: Hakari
Effect: Pachinko game determining power-ups
How it works:
- RNG-based domain
- Jackpot = 4 minutes 11 seconds of unlimited cursed energy + immortality
- Can potentially loop infinitely
- Risky but insanely powerful when it works
Incomplete/Developing Domains
Megumi’s Domain
Still can’t form a proper barrier, but the core effect works. With completion, it would rank S-tier.
Yuji’s Potential
As of latest chapters, Yuji might be developing domain capabilities through his absorption of Sukuna’s techniques.
Domain Expansion Rules
Barrier Strength
- More refined barrier = stronger domain
- Domains clash through barrier collision
- Sukuna’s open barrier bypasses normal rules
Limitations
- High cursed energy cost (often once daily)
- Can be broken from outside by strong allies
- Binding vow adjustments can create openings
Conclusion
Domain Expansions represent jujutsu mastery—each unique, each deadly. Sukuna’s Malevolent Shrine breaks conventional domain rules, making it supreme. Gojo’s Unlimited Void is conceptually unbeatable for most. Everything else depends on matchup and circumstances.
