Chronicle of a Catastrophe: Every Spin of Mahoraga's Wheel in the Shinjuku Showdown
Q1: Why did Mahoraga require four spins to adapt to Gojo's Infinity?
A1: The complexity of Gojo's technique dictated the cycle. Neutral Infinity is not a simple barrier; it is the manipulation of space bringing an infinite paradox into reality. Simpler cursed techniques require only one or two rotations, but deciphering the mathematical distortion of the Limitless demanded four distinct exposures.
Q2: Why couldn't Gojo destroy the wheel directly during the fight?
A2: For the majority of the clash, the wheel was not physically present in the physical world. Sukuna hid it within the shadows and anchored its metaphysical weight onto the soul of Megumi Fushiguro. Without a physical target to aim at, Gojo could not destroy the relic until Mahoraga was fully manifested in Chapter 232.
Q3: Did Mahoraga survive the Shinjuku Showdown?
A3: No. In Chapter 235, Gojo detonated an unrestricted, remote Hollow Purple by chanting incantations that combined Blue and Red across the battlefield. The resulting blast obliterated Mahoraga entirely, erasing the shikigami from the Ten Shadows lineup permanently.
