Assuming you equalize souls and vestiges, you could also argue that Shigaraki has some form of soul manipulation resistance since in chapter 379 he prevents the AFO consciousness from overwriting his mind and body, and even uses the explicit term “soul” when describing himself doing it
that doesn't mean he can negate idle transfiguration just because he prevents all for one from overwriting his consciousness... Idle transfiguration shapes a soul regardless of how you feel or what you try to do. It's like sculpting an inanimate pile of clay, that clay can't do anything but sit there and be sculpted.
Geto being able to somewhat resist Kenjaku’s control over his body but not being capable of resisting Mahito’s idle transfiguration as far as we know kinda debunks that argument. In JJK there are multiple incidents where the ability to overpower or resist somebody’s consciousness from taking over your body has not equated to the ability to resist or negate idle transfiguration. Sukuna who was completely unfazed by Mahito’s idle transfiguration and was able to casually cause severe damage to Mahito’s soul was unable to ever overpower or put up a fight against Yuji’s control over his body. Yuji who can only harm Mahito’s soul because he became a vessel for Sukuna is also heavily implied by Mahito to not be the reason why he can’t use idle transfiguration on Yuji. Sukuna is why Mahito can’t use his CT on Yuji. So Yuji isn’t immune to Idle Transfiguration but can casually resist Sukuna’s control, who was immune to Idle Transfiguration which Yuji isn’t immune to. And Toji who has no soul manipulation, unintentionally entity-crammed a dude’s soul out of it’s own body, but couldn’t resist having his consciousness overwritten by the grandma’s runaway cursed-technique. So in JJK being able to resist your consciousness from being overwritten doesn’t at all equate to having a stronger soul or having soul manipulation resistance. If that were the case, then the power dynamics between Sukuna, Mahito, and Yuji wouldn’t be possible. Since Mahito’s CT would work against Yuji if he didn’t have Sukuna, then Sukuna who completely negated Mahito’s CT should subsequently easily overpower Yuji’s soul and overwrite Yuji’s consciousness, but that isn’t what happened.
Spoilers: As pf the most recent chapters of MHA, if vestiges count as souls, Shiggy can not only see the vestiges of OFA but he straight up snatched Danger Sense guy.
It’s interesting to note this comes down to benefit of the doubt. If we cross verse equalization so saying Shigaraki’s attack count as cursed energy we then have to ask do vestiges count as souls and depending on the answer depends on who wins. In theory but realistically if the answer is yes then Shigaraki wins easily but if it’s no we then have to ask the question does remaking his entire body from nothing take more cursed energy and can Mahito even do that in the first place. After all it’s not like we’ve seen Mahito ever regenerate from his entire being including literal molecules and atoms be turnt to dust. At that point it begs the question of can Mahito come back from nothing? Because that’s what he’d be forced to do upon being dusted by decay. And even if he does come back would he be aware of his surrounding while doing so? Because if not then Shigaraki just sits next to Mahito’s body after the first decay lays his hand on the ground next to Mahito and let chain decay kill Mahito due to curse energy drain since Mahito doesn’t have a brain and isn’t aware enough to stop him. You see it’s much more complicated than people are really giving it credit for and also here another way Shigaraki can win. If Shigaraki dodges the domain expansion due to his speed difference and then shatters it Mahito just dies I think due to being hit by decay without his Cursed Technique active. Sure that final fight is unlikely but it’s still possible. I personally think Shigaraki can win at least 50% of the time with all this stated but considering how many factors left are unsure I’m not willing to say he could win more and the same also goes for Mahito because as much as people say Domain Expansion wins which I agree on it’s honestly not likely it ever gets pulled out in a defining manner because in the ones Shigaraki wins Mahito never truly gets the chance to pull it out especially if they are in character and the ones where Mahito wins domain is fairly redundant since he shouldn’t need it to win at that point aside from making up the speed difference between him and Shigaraki.
As of right now shigraki doesn't really even need to touch mahito directly too and might actually could resist attacks on his own soul too really makes attacks on shigaraki very very hard eveb with people flying could barely even touch shigaraki too in his final form.
Technically Shiggy can't kill Mahito unless he can touch the soul, so even if Decay does work Mahito can just seperate a part of himself and regenerate from that as we've seen him regen unconditionally in the anime/manga
@@gaztalesans2751yeah but if Shigaraki chain decay’s Mahito then it doesn’t matter if he throws a party away because that would just get effected furthermore Shigaraki is so much faster than Mahito that this trick means nothing as Shigaraki just grabs and decays the throw piece.
Shigaraki would know the shape of his soul, he share souls with AFO. Shigaraki outright says AFO was trying to take over his soul but shiggy hid his origin to overcome it Shiggy could decay OFA world which is stated to be a world of souls(see when Deku unlocks black whip). Shiggy could also sense a curse, AFO was completely blind as stated when he was sent to prison and had multiple quirks allowing him to sense the world and fight all might
The problem is that we don't even know if Shigaraki is even able to interact with curses. Sure, he could sense them and avoid them, but that doesn't mean he can touch them. Without cursed energy, the only methods I could think of are pretty much just headcanon. The best, and most likely headcanon I can think of is that being able to perceive a curse allows you to interact with it. We've seen Awakened Maki and Toji do it. We've also seen Pre-Awakened Maki do it even when her heavenly restriction was incomplete, and her only way to perceive curses at the time was using her special glasses. It isn't confirmed though, so it's not really something that can be used as concrete proof.
@@robo-raven2157 i hope you realise that curses are a danger to everyone in japan. it doesn't matter if you can perceive them, they are still able to hurt you physically. this means that you can also touch them. you don't need cursed energy either to touch them, as toji was literally able to fight off multiple of geto's curses while being stated to have ZERO cursed energy.
@@f1p3r40 The problem is that we haven't seen normal people interacting with curses outside of very specific situation where the setting allowed the people inside to see them. As far as I can tell, it's kind of like how Stands are in Jojo where they can interact with you whenever, but if you don't have a stand, you'll just phase through it if you try interacting with it.
@@f1p3r40 Are you dumb? You need cursed energy to hurt a curse. It's literally stated in the first chapter. Toji kills curses with cursed tools, it's even later shown that Maki with the same heavenly restriction does 0 damage if she just punches a curse. I hope you realise your brain is severely degraded.
Vestiges are souls as seen with All Might's vestige. So Shigaraki can see the shape of his soul. Plus the abysmal stat difference means that Mahito is never touching Shigaraki, especially when you factor in more that 3 sensory quirks. Edit : Chap 411 Shigaraki can outright see ghosts
Thing is, Mahito is a better Fighter and has better tools to make his one shot easier, also if we factor in Yuji's black flash against Hanami, he would be around SoL to low FTL. If you are going to talk about Yuji not being able to dodge Piercing blood, 1. Yuji was airborne when he had to react to it. 2. Yuji was off guard and still reacted to it. so that anti feat wouldn't apply here.
@@jin2821 Is that a joke ? Black Flash isn't speed based. And the Top ranks of MHA barely get to MACH 3. Nayoa at MACH 3 is the fastest curse in JJK and blitzes Maki with Full heavenly restriction who is equal to Toji himself. And JJK's best best AP feat is small city level that Mahito does not scale to. The best you can scale him to is Jogo's maximum meteor at Large town level. Something Shigaraki can achieve by just jumping. Hell just look at the difference in final battle. Gojo vs Sukuna barely destroyed a part of a district. Shigaraki vs Deku has just started and they have already destroyed Shizuka Prefecture and Shiggy is going to destroy mount Fuji.
@@Agent-57 Bro must be on another level of retard. First of all, that mach 3 statement only meant as in travel speed, this is further proven by the fact its been contradicted on multiple occasions, for example, Maki catching a bullet point blank range, which was calced from mach 9 - mach 21. More proof on this is the black hole feat from Kenjaku and Sukuna dodging EM waves, so saying JJK would cap at Mach 3 is blatantly wrong. Next up the scaling, Bro has never heard of AP or DC☠. Gojo has Planetary+ AP via the same black hole feat from Kenjaku, also there are statements from the back of the manga cover stating Sukuna has the power to destroy the world. If say "Oh, thats hax" Hey stupid, Kenjaku had to be putting the same amount of power as black hole to resist it, "Oh Yuki and Tengen were holding it back" Kenjaku out scales both of them EASILY☠. So yes, JJK caps at Planetary+ - Maybe small star level with FTL+ speeds.
Rody Soul's Quirk (the guy from World Heroes Mission) which is literally called Soul manifests itself as a bird he named Pino and Pino is directly connected to Rody's soul and her actions articulate Rody's true thoughts and feelings so yes MHA do in fact have souls.
Shigaraki was still confused on weather he was AFO or not. There's still Tenko Shimura, but I feel like Shigaraki would still know the shape of his soul if you count that as a soul.
God I hate when a character dodges a laser beam in a show, so powerscalers set their reaction speed to light speed, and yet they can still get hit by bullets or smth
Remember the Non sorcerer's in Shibuya when Gojo popped his Domain. They got affected by IV. Alot ppl like to use Toji and Maki when to hey are outliers, they can literally see cursed spirits but don't have cursed energy themselves... Domains work on regular ppl... Gojo's Domain under Shibuya almost left every non sorcerer down there in a vegetative state.. A domain would work on Shigaraki.
Yeah this fight is really up to interpretation in a lot of ways, and since there's no absolute answer to the questions it asks, the winner may vary from person to person interpreting how their powers interact. That said, here's my interpretations and who I think wins: (Recent spoilers discussed below) -First, I think quirk vestiges do count as souls. This is because of All Might having a vestige, despite not having a quirk. And what's more, this vestige changes appearance to look more like All Might if the real one dies, seemingly taking on more of his soul as it leaves the body. -Due to the above ruling, Shigaraki can see Mahito because he can see quirk vestiges. This includes those outside of his own body and even All Might's quirkless vestige. In other words, he can see souls and ghosts, so he should likely see Mahito. -(I have no idea what'd happen if he tried to use the AFO quirk on Mahito though.) -Shigaraki should also know the shape of his soul due to his prolonged internal battle with AFO. That said, due to Mahito's ability interpreting the soul only being connected to the body, several of Shigaraki's moves may not do any real harm to Mahito, including some forms of Decay. It's possible only physical attacks would really have that backing of the soul needed to harm Mahito, meaning anything long-range won't work. -And to continue being nice to Mahito: Shigaraki should have cursed energy naturally for the same reason we'd assume anyone fighting Goku has Ki and anywhere Obi-Wan fights has the Force floating about; if an energy source is everywhere in every mundane corner of the universe or produced by every mundane human & animal, I think it's fair to just assume the average opponent/location of another series has it too if there's no good reason not too. That said, Shigaraki has no more ability to use Cursed energy than the average jjk human, so all this means is that Shigaraki can be targeted by Self Embodiment of Perfection. That said, I think the winner is still Shigaraki. He has more than enough transformation & mutation quirks to deal plenty of physical damage to Mahito, and he's smart enough to figure out their effectiveness. And if it ever came down to a battle of souls due to Mahito touching him or using his Domain, Tomura's soul is far above standard. Bare minimum he's got a few hundred "meat" shield in the quirk vestiges to protect his own soul, and destruction of vestiges hasn't been shown to remove their abilities so it's not like he'd sacrifice quirks to protect himself this way. But also, Tomura's own soul may be dangerous in itself to Mahito; probably not on Sukuna's level, but enough to at least put up a fight if it came to it. Mahito's soul should scale directly to his body for obvious reasons; probably ranging from multi-block to outright City level if you're generous. Tomura's is harder to scale (so prepare for power-scaling nonsense); but since his soul overpowered OFA with his emotions & willpower, we can put the power of his soul higher than 9 above-avarage human souls at the low end, and above the full power of One For All itself (so about island to country level) at the high end. Overall, while there may or may not be ways for Mahito to win, there just looks to be a lot more ways that he loses. It's still up in the air who wins in a battle of souls, but since Shigaraki has a decent chance to kill Mahito before it even comes to that, I've got to give it to him.
Personally I don’t really know about giving ce to everyone…mostly because it needs to be learned. I know it’s mostly in the sport of fairness but logically speaking if a person gets dropped into the jjk universe they won’t even be aware of this new energy source, let alone how to control it.
@@ThelordHayden34 I mean, CE needs to be learned how to _use,_ sure; it's much like Ki in Dragon Ball where a normal human like Videl needs to learn Ki control in order to use cool Ki moves like flight. But that doesn't she didn't have Ki before she learned how to use in in cool ways, and it's the same with CE. Both are naturally occurring energies that appear in all living things (or at least tones with emotions in the case of Cursed Energy). You're right that out-on-universe characters wouldn't know about this energy or how to use it, neither do most normal humans in JJK, but we don't bring this idea up to give the opponents of JJK charterers a new power system or anything, it's to decide if abilities that target a person's Cursed Energy work on them. After all, there are characters in JJk who don't have any CE and thus get some immunity to those CE-targetting attacks. However these characters are rare exceptions who don't have Cursed Energy for a good reason; and normal people who have, but have not learned how to use, Cursed Energy have no such immunity to such CE-targeting abilities. So this is a matter of deciding if an out-of-universe character should fall into the first category or the second by mere virtue of being out-of-universe. To again draw comparisons to Ki: it's a bit like arguing if an out-of-universe fighter dropped into Dragon Ball should have Ki or not; granting all the advantages the absence of Ki gave the Androids if they do not.
@@GiftOfKnowledge-np9vg I mean , I dm know they would have ce. I’m saying the couldn’t use it . Therefore out of verse charters couldn’t harm curses spirits if we put it logically.
Mahito would never even touch Shigaraki, the stats are just to far apart for this to be relatively close and Mahito can’t reform his body if there’s no body to reform lmao.
@@zaphyr290also fun fact shiggy is aware of his own soul, can see souls, has resistance to soul manipulation, and can even hit and absorb souls. But that doesnt mean mahito is completely helpless because he’s much smarter, strategic, and has the help of transfigured humans to weave around shigaraki. That’s what makes this fight so much fun
@@reasonablequit7535Ain't no way you said mahito is smarter and a greater strategist. Overall I think shigaraki in every single stat is just way more broken. Mahito only has that one hit move. Also with shigaraki knowing everything mahito can do he can easily just wear out mahito for days since he not only can fly, has many long ranged quirks, and could even put a bad quirk inside mahito or something that makes mahito weaker in a certain way. I just think shigaraki has many more positives than mahito
There's another way to kill mahito If you're wear him out enough to were he runs outta cursed energy he can't use his technique anymore meaning he can be hurt and killed by regular blows (Implied by nanami to ino against a weakened mahito)
@@BL00DYMERCURY In fact, Black Flash only makes control over energy more refined, so the expense is much less. For Gojo who can recover cursed energy, less spent is equivalent to more energy recovered
A lot of people seem to forgot something, Shigaraki has All For One,which has multiple vestiges of the quirks AFO has stolen over the years and recently its shown that the vestiges in AFO can rebel if AFO gets too emotional in a negative way and loses his control of their quirks,so if you use verse equalization and say vestiges are souls , wouldn't this mean Shigaraki's soul can't be affected? Plus Shigaraki literally hid his younger self away which is shown to be another vestige,so without counting the vestiges in AFO, Shigaraki has three souls inside him and a lot more in AFO. A lot of people also ignore that a lot of these characters are smart and quick learners so they can figure out a lot of things quickly if they see it at least once , Shigaraki also has a force field and a laser quirk he never uses for some reason, idk if his regeneration will help much but so far this fight leans towards Shigaraki,Mahito can win though as well in many ways.
No, Shigi soul can still be affected, the only reason Mahito never attempted to one-shot Yuji via soul manip is because of Sukuna, he knows that if he even dares to touch Yuji's soul he will be touching Sukuna's soul aswell and Sukuna would cut him down immediately, so unless were saying AFO or any of the other souls are more advanced with the soul then Mahito, Mahito can still one shot him.
Shigiraki’s body adapted and mutated as a result of having his Quirks stripped away by Erasure by way of multiple arms, fingers, etc. With his strong sense of self and the multiple quirk vestiges within him, along with Tenko (the soul) being hidden deep down, Shigiraki could tank Idle Transformation, adapt, and use it to his advantage.
I know its old but the last senario you say mahitos domain wont have a sure hit on shigaraki because he has no cursed energy by that logic its a win for mahito as some one who has no cursed energy can't hurt him and see him
Since Mahito is a special disaster cursed spirit , he has a massive pool of cursed energy which means it will be quite hard to deplete Mahitos CE , If shigaraki didn't have a soul he would be cooked , however in round 3 its really a 50 50
shigaraki in his prime has fused with afo and he has ofa which means that he has danger sense which can let him dodge mahito's attacks. Next, we can see that when afo show off his quirks, there's a quirk about souls but we don't see him control one's soul or at least taking over shigaraki's soul, which means that he can protect his souls from attcks
Well the part where you talk about the possibility of a domain expansion can work. Everyone has curse energy, just very small amounts. That's why infinite void worked on all those people in the train station. Tge only ones that are immune to a domain expansion are toji and maki since they have no curse energy
If we do cross verse scaling, we should assume that shigarakis quirks run off of cursed energy, otherwise they wouldn’t damage mahito. But it’s interesting because the same mechanism that allows yuji to see souls (via. The result of being a vessel) is arguably the equivalent of hosting multiple quirks and being able to feel the vestiges. AFO has been able to swap consciousness with shiggy multiple times similar to yuji/ sukuna so they function very similarly to a vessel/ curse relationship and AFO has also been able to perceive the vestiges of OFA around deku. If thats not “perception of the soul” idk what is. With that, shiggys powers are so overwhelmingly broken, it makes no sense how mahito can beat him. Even with idle transfiguration, shiggy has displayed the ability to react to / adapt to “soul” damage via. Star & Stripes battle with him. Although he may sustain damage from I.T. he can still change his body to adapt to the damage. Shiggy wins
well 3 things that we have seen to connect to souls is with the third mha movie where rody has a bird that is basically his soul and then we have vestiges and then tokoyami with dark shadow which is his soul so its kinda weird
If you think of it like Dragonball how Goku is a Saiyan, which gives him Saiyan powers. You can call that his quirk. But all characters have Qi, which is his energy. In MHA, characters have quirks (super powers). In JJK characters have Cursed energy (Qi).
i remember having a talk with someone on a comment section about sigaraki vs mahito. They claimed some sorcerers could use RCT to heal the decay, which honestly makes sense, so i feel like what shigaraki makes up for in high range he lacks in true damage
Nah, this battle is not closed shigaraki is blatantly winning, his abilities alone will allow him to win in chapter 406 or 407 is where he stated that he can see all mites spirit meaning he can see souls and things of that nature and he knows immediately what's wrong with it. So even if mahito tried to change his soul or someone else's, he will immediately know, He also has search which was upgraded so he doesn't just only search for people. He can now search for the weakness inside of his opponents and their abilities /personalities and he has the reflect power which allows him to reflect your own attacks back at you but stronger and his vestige realm actually takes place in the soul and it's been shown to be able to defend his own soul and fight against other souls so I really don't see how mahito's winning.
The voice of the fourth outcome, since we’ve been giving a description that tells us man to generate his body for nothing. There’s a chance one decay would move him without a body and make it so he can’t even generate one. You said it might take them a lot of energy but since his ability description is that he manipulates the body by moving the soul, that means if his body is gone, he might not be able to do anything because it’s like having a controller with no consul if that’s only a possibility And yeah, the Shigaki can’t see him part is pretty boring and doesn’t even make it a fight since only one of the characters knows that there’s someone else there and if it’s that one sided that’s not really a fight
Shigiraki can see him with the quirk: search It too mention that mahito got his shit kicked in by itadori 😂 A guy that can barely lift up a car and run at 50mph Whereas shigiraki can react to light speed attack and is as strong as prime all might and can one shot mahito with decay or keep him at long range with air canon Mahito along with 99% of jjk can’t even come close to shigiraki 🤷♂️ Also the vestiges are confirmed as souls in the manga and shigiraki and Deku can attack them
You also have to consider the quality of a persons soul, sukuna had less curse energy then mahito or jogo yet the quality of his soul was so high that his soul couldn't be manipulated by mahito, if the quirk vestiges are comparable to an actual soul, the fact that all for one has been building up shigaraki's hatred and mental fortitude for the sole purpose of stealing one for all, lends credit to the idea that shigaraki's will might be great enough to resist having his soul manipulated by mahito. if even nanami can resist mahitos touch temporarily, then shigaraki definitely could resist having his soul manipulated, even if only for a few seconds, more than long enough to turn mahito to dust.
@dalaw9660 where in the manga exactly did it say that 2 finger sukuna would have more cursed energy then Yuta. I thought it was sukuna having a highly refined domain, better than anyone else, the refinement of one's innate domain, representing the quality of the soul that allowed sukuna to resist mahito.
@khulmach9662 didn't kenjaku say that jogo was equivalent to sukuna with 3 or 4 fingers, maybe 5. I don't think 2 finger sukuna has more cursed energy than jogo, but he's still a superior fighter and tactician, as well as having a more refined domain.
@@carlhenry3974 Kenjaku said Sukuna was worth 8 fingers, but that is only in curse energy amount. Sukuna gave no praise or indicator that Jogo could beat 3 finger Sukuna but he gave one to Mahoraga. Even then, Sukuna said "Maybe" Mahoraga could beat him. Not even a guarantee and this only factors in Sukuna playing around like his 15-finger self. All round Jogo's value would be 5-6 fingers max if we measure everything. 3 finger sukuna is stronger than just 3 fingers because its only factoring his curse energy reserves and not Sukuna's refinement, output, speed, and power. The fingers are only an indicator for how much curse energy he has.
Yes because it can't destroy his soul. He can come back from nothing as long as the soul remains and sense he is a curse he has a infinite soul. Unless he can attack his soul with decay wich probably not as yuji has much more than having another soul In him to know the shape of the soul. Honestly it goes to Mahito 8 times out of 10
@@ratman7923 yeah but Mahito wouldn’t be able to do anything since to stop Mahito abilities is just know the layout of your soul and guard it shigaraki has technically has already done that
@@ratman7923 yeah but Mahito wouldn’t be able to do anything since to stop Mahito abilities is just know the layout of your soul and guard it shigaraki has technically has already done that if you consider vestjis souls
you haven't taken into account the fact that shigaraki's physical body already completely morphs and augments itself into grotesque shapes and what not to adapt to situations and that's while having his quirk erased as well.
Great video, But I can't help but feel like you're lowballing MHA's speed scaling here. Deku dodging that Sonic Attack from Jiro isn't anywhere NEAR his best speed feat, Supersonic - MHS MHA isn't super consistent, as multiple characters have reacted to and evaded actual light beams. Deku especially, in his battle against flect turn, was able to evade and react to SEVERAL lasers at the same time. Which we know were light-based, based on the fact they were literally bouncing off of mirrors. And these laser-timing feats are fairly consistent when you look at other characters like Star and Stripe who was also able to react to and dodge laser beams and Radio Waves (both of these travelling at the speed of light). And Shigaraki surpasses all of these characters, at least how they were at the time these feats were performed. So Relativistic lowball to FTL highball via Calcs MHA is much more consistent. Given this, it's likely that Shigaraki would blitz Mahito given such a massive speed discrepancy. Of course, that doesn't account for the other nuances for this fight like, if Shigaraki would even be able to see or Kill Mahito -- But I do believe it's fairly blatant that Shigaraki's AP and Speed Scaling is much much Higher than Mahito's.
shigaraki fucking destroys mahito, shigaraki with the vestiges are souls, considering all might is a vestige before dying, shigaraki outright suppresses vestiges and overpowers others, and shigaraki is ftl, adding danger sense and how decay negates durability and regeneration along with the added ways of how it can decay a city in SECONDS. mahito has zero ways of defending himself, shigaraki solos him and the verse, including gojo since shigaraki has spacial manipulation quirks and decay when he touches the ground wouldnt count as a physical attack infinity could divide, since gojo needs to be able to not only analyze the threat with his automatic brain, but be aware of it as well, which is how world cleave got past infinity, fucking mirko would solo the verse minus gojo
So if mahito can come back for ever because of his curse technique, Shigaraki could use All For One to take his power, making him unable to manipulate his soul and finally be able to kill him
Mahito can run out of CE and Nanami confirms that at that point anybody eben if they cant percieve the soul can merk him, cuz his CT cant work with little CE.
If idle transfiguration relies on mahito's reaction time to reform his body, then decay might act too fast for him to react since as far as we can tell a touch to the head is an instakill, there is no time at all to react
Wait, do demons in demon Slayer can maintain their inability to die without the nichirin blade or sunlight, but in debates cursed spirits can't retain the requirement that they have to be exercised with CE? Even if Shiggy can hit the soul, his attacks need CE
The body is formed from the soul and Mahito's body is made of CE. Soul damage is one of the few things that should override the need for CE in an attack, by the logic of Mahito's technique.
@@ZenithAniManga Except for the fact that Mahito's technique also falls within the laws of Jujutsu and CE. For example, even though Yuji is aware of his soul he can't hurt Mahito without using CE. To even have a chance at interacting with the laws of his technique you have to also use CE.
Its quite complicated if mahito can land his domain sure hit it means that shigaraki loses if but if he cant land his domain sure hit it means shigaraki has no CE so he cant even see him (jjk verse is quite complicated to equalize compared to other verses)
2:49 So...A soul? They are souls... just that they're bits ingrained in their quirks. Because how can you explain the stuff in the manga where Afo suffers from his quirks going wild
No. How did you even get that out of his explanation without having prior bias? Consciousness and the soul are two separate things, physicalizing consciousness and the soul are also two separate things. The users’ consciousness is ingrained in One for All, not their soul. You just simplified what he said into a different meaning to support your point. As he was saying, there is still no evidence that souls the way they work in jjk exist within the standards of My Hero Academia. AfO’s quirks going wild has such an easy explanation too. Imagine 100 people screaming things in your head as you’re trying to do something specific like use one out of many quirks. You’re going to startle and or make mistakes because of it, loud noises can cause people to freeze as well so amplify a scream times 100 and AfO should just be unaffected?
Will Shigaraki even be able to kill Mahito though? Because you need cursed energy to kill curses and the mha power system is not some kind of magical energy but a part of their genes. This means verse equalization would be pointless because both of these power systems can coexist without contradicting each other and the mha characters would just not have any cursed energy.
I would argue that soul damage surpasses that need, if we assume Shigaraki can do that. Since the "body" (which is cursed energy for Mahito) is shaped after the soul.
The interesting thing to include in the equation is All for One's own vestige within Shigaraki. Vestiges are generally treated as spirits tied to quirks, even Shigaraki describing it as his soul when resisting All for One's takeover. The thing is Shigaraki inherently has an identity crisis, which may leave him vulnerable to Mahito's abilities. Thing is All for One could easily step in and render it a non issue, something he has done when Shigaraki is in danger or is at risk of dying. Especially with Search, All for One stepping into the picture could essentially end the fight immediately given how far more intelligent and calculating he is, being able to exploit the weakness of even unpredictable genocidal madmen
Because curses are considered an "energy" power system (one energy, many uses, intangible to non-magic-users), and quirks are a "natural" power system (magic = extension of the body, fully tangible) verse equalisation needs to be applied. Therefore: -They can see eachother and their "magic". -Shiggy has a soul (multiple ones). -Activating a quirk = activating a curse technique. -Mahito's powers are considered a quirk. Honestly, I think it's 70/30 in Shiggy's favour. Physical prowess, versatility in abilities and being able to yoink Mahito's powers (probably will take a couple of seconds of direct contact tho).
This is how the vid should’ve been set up fr😭 Because ion think he even ever mentions how Mahito would be completely invisible/ intangible (Edit: 7:43)
Funny thing is, this is one of my favorite matchups of all time ( Along side Makoto Yuki vs Yuta Okkotsu & Ragna The Bloodedge vs Velvet Crowe) so seeing everyone talk about it makes me very happy!
Shiggy bodies in every situation in this part. Shiggy is far superior in every physical way and wouldn't have issues not getting touched by Mahito. A simple comparison is how Jogo, who is is arguable stronger or at least around the strength of Mahito, literally NEVER touched 15 finger Sakuna with a single attack. Shiggy is absurdly stronger than 15 finger Sakuna, with more versatility, speed, etc, and would similarly ever get touched by Mahito and would shred his down until he is out of cursed energy.
@@uhhhprussia funny how we’re arguing in two different reply sections but yeah Domain expansion won’t be activated because Shigaraki speedblitzes. Even if mahito uses idle transfiguration, Shigaraki can cut off the limb and heal it. Verse equalization always happens. Plus, everyone has cursed energy by default so it doesn’t matter
shiggy wins nine times out of ten because of decay. decay will damage mahito either way as the soul resides in the body and if there is no body the soul is irrelevant(this is the same reason why hollow purple will kill mahito) and shiggy is faster the only way mahito wins is if shiggy cant see mahito which is still unlikely cuz search quirk could likely still see him
@@explosivegrape thats actually something i forgot about but either way shiggy prolly has a soul and id consider the vestages as a soul as all-for-one can take over his body in the same sense sukuna can
@@FuriousFizzyPop not copium if it's true what are you on, do you think saying that somehow makes what I said irrelevant, it is pretty relevant, Shigaraki has no cursed energy so he can't hurt mahito, that's simple and even if he did, he wouldn't be able to kill mahito because he would need soul-based attacks, Shigaraki has no way of actually killing mahito.
The problem with making these people vs people when they are from different animes is that every anime normally has diferent gimmicks that make it so hard, like mahito and shigaraki, goku and saitama, and some others, like.. its so complicated, but is fun
We’re not talking about perfect cell here, as long as Mahito’s soul is intact he can come back from total annihilation, so long as he doesn’t run out of cursed energy that is.

Assuming you equalize souls and vestiges, you could also argue that Shigaraki has some form of soul manipulation resistance since in chapter 379 he prevents the AFO consciousness from overwriting his mind and body, and even uses the explicit term “soul” when describing himself doing it
that doesn't mean he can negate idle transfiguration just because he prevents all for one from overwriting his consciousness... Idle transfiguration shapes a soul regardless of how you feel or what you try to do. It's like sculpting an inanimate pile of clay, that clay can't do anything but sit there and be sculpted.
Geto being able to somewhat resist Kenjaku’s control over his body but not being capable of resisting Mahito’s idle transfiguration as far as we know kinda debunks that argument. In JJK there are multiple incidents where the ability to overpower or resist somebody’s consciousness from taking over your body has not equated to the ability to resist or negate idle transfiguration. Sukuna who was completely unfazed by Mahito’s idle transfiguration and was able to casually cause severe damage to Mahito’s soul was unable to ever overpower or put up a fight against Yuji’s control over his body. Yuji who can only harm Mahito’s soul because he became a vessel for Sukuna is also heavily implied by Mahito to not be the reason why he can’t use idle transfiguration on Yuji. Sukuna is why Mahito can’t use his CT on Yuji. So Yuji isn’t immune to Idle Transfiguration but can casually resist Sukuna’s control, who was immune to Idle Transfiguration which Yuji isn’t immune to.
And Toji who has no soul manipulation, unintentionally entity-crammed a dude’s soul out of it’s own body, but couldn’t resist having his consciousness overwritten by the grandma’s runaway cursed-technique.
So in JJK being able to resist your consciousness from being overwritten doesn’t at all equate to having a stronger soul or having soul manipulation resistance. If that were the case, then the power dynamics between Sukuna, Mahito, and Yuji wouldn’t be possible.
Since Mahito’s CT would work against Yuji if he didn’t have Sukuna, then Sukuna who completely negated Mahito’s CT should subsequently easily overpower Yuji’s soul and overwrite Yuji’s consciousness, but that isn’t what happened.
@@BL00DYMERCURYnope mahito says if you aware of your own soul you are resistant and you can also hurt mahito

@@3dsmaster537domain expansion of 0.8 of a second thats a 100% hit:
@@pietrorazia2184 he already sensed the danger the moment the idea popped into Mahito's head. He'd dodge
@@3dsmaster537the question is can shigaraki dodge a domain expansion?
It’s interesting to note this comes down to benefit of the doubt. If we cross verse equalization so saying Shigaraki’s attack count as cursed energy we then have to ask do vestiges count as souls and depending on the answer depends on who wins. In theory but realistically if the answer is yes then Shigaraki wins easily but if it’s no we then have to ask the question does remaking his entire body from nothing take more cursed energy and can Mahito even do that in the first place. After all it’s not like we’ve seen Mahito ever regenerate from his entire being including literal molecules and atoms be turnt to dust. At that point it begs the question of can Mahito come back from nothing? Because that’s what he’d be forced to do upon being dusted by decay. And even if he does come back would he be aware of his surrounding while doing so? Because if not then Shigaraki just sits next to Mahito’s body after the first decay lays his hand on the ground next to Mahito and let chain decay kill Mahito due to curse energy drain since Mahito doesn’t have a brain and isn’t aware enough to stop him. You see it’s much more complicated than people are really giving it credit for and also here another way Shigaraki can win. If Shigaraki dodges the domain expansion due to his speed difference and then shatters it Mahito just dies I think due to being hit by decay without his Cursed Technique active. Sure that final fight is unlikely but it’s still possible.
I personally think Shigaraki can win at least 50% of the time with all this stated but considering how many factors left are unsure I’m not willing to say he could win more and the same also goes for Mahito because as much as people say Domain Expansion wins which I agree on it’s honestly not likely it ever gets pulled out in a defining manner because in the ones Shigaraki wins Mahito never truly gets the chance to pull it out especially if they are in character and the ones where Mahito wins domain is fairly redundant since he shouldn’t need it to win at that point aside from making up the speed difference between him and Shigaraki.
It's stated mahito would die by completey destroying his body
When
As of right now shigraki doesn't really even need to touch mahito directly too and might actually could resist attacks on his own soul too really makes attacks on shigaraki very very hard eveb with people flying could barely even touch shigaraki too in his final form.
Technically Shiggy can't kill Mahito unless he can touch the soul, so even if Decay does work Mahito can just seperate a part of himself and regenerate from that as we've seen him regen unconditionally in the anime/manga
@@gaztalesans2751yeah but if Shigaraki chain decay’s Mahito then it doesn’t matter if he throws a party away because that would just get effected furthermore Shigaraki is so much faster than Mahito that this trick means nothing as Shigaraki just grabs and decays the throw piece.
bruh idc who wins its abt all the destruction thats gonna happen 💀💀💀💀
Everything is fucked
Shigaraki would know the shape of his soul, he share souls with AFO. Shigaraki outright says AFO was trying to take over his soul but shiggy hid his origin to overcome it
Shiggy could decay OFA world which is stated to be a world of souls(see when Deku unlocks black whip). Shiggy could also sense a curse, AFO was completely blind as stated when he was sent to prison and had multiple quirks allowing him to sense the world and fight all might
The problem is that we don't even know if Shigaraki is even able to interact with curses. Sure, he could sense them and avoid them, but that doesn't mean he can touch them. Without cursed energy, the only methods I could think of are pretty much just headcanon. The best, and most likely headcanon I can think of is that being able to perceive a curse allows you to interact with it. We've seen Awakened Maki and Toji do it. We've also seen Pre-Awakened Maki do it even when her heavenly restriction was incomplete, and her only way to perceive curses at the time was using her special glasses. It isn't confirmed though, so it's not really something that can be used as concrete proof.
@@robo-raven2157 i hope you realise that curses are a danger to everyone in japan. it doesn't matter if you can perceive them, they are still able to hurt you physically. this means that you can also touch them. you don't need cursed energy either to touch them, as toji was literally able to fight off multiple of geto's curses while being stated to have ZERO cursed energy.
@@f1p3r40 The problem is that we haven't seen normal people interacting with curses outside of very specific situation where the setting allowed the people inside to see them. As far as I can tell, it's kind of like how Stands are in Jojo where they can interact with you whenever, but if you don't have a stand, you'll just phase through it if you try interacting with it.
@@f1p3r40toji had cursed tools. Objects that have CE in them.
@@f1p3r40 Are you dumb? You need cursed energy to hurt a curse. It's literally stated in the first chapter. Toji kills curses with cursed tools, it's even later shown that Maki with the same heavenly restriction does 0 damage if she just punches a curse. I hope you realise your brain is severely degraded.
The fact that this is going to be an actual Death Battle! 😅😂

Mahito and Shiggy are actually coincidently pretty similar in body shape and hair colour IG
You must be 73% blind
dawg you are white blue color blind im sorry to tell you
This fight would just turn into a tickle fight
Vestiges are souls as seen with All Might's vestige. So Shigaraki can see the shape of his soul. Plus the abysmal stat difference means that Mahito is never touching Shigaraki, especially when you factor in more that 3 sensory quirks.
Edit : Chap 411 Shigaraki can outright see ghosts
Thing is, Mahito is a better Fighter and has better tools to make his one shot easier, also if we factor in Yuji's black flash against Hanami, he would be around SoL to low FTL. If you are going to talk about Yuji not being able to dodge Piercing blood, 1. Yuji was airborne when he had to react to it. 2. Yuji was off guard and still reacted to it. so that anti feat wouldn't apply here.
@@jin2821 Is that a joke ? Black Flash isn't speed based. And the Top ranks of MHA barely get to MACH 3. Nayoa at MACH 3 is the fastest curse in JJK and blitzes Maki with Full heavenly restriction who is equal to Toji himself.
And JJK's best best AP feat is small city level that Mahito does not scale to. The best you can scale him to is Jogo's maximum meteor at Large town level. Something Shigaraki can achieve by just jumping.
Hell just look at the difference in final battle. Gojo vs Sukuna barely destroyed a part of a district. Shigaraki vs Deku has just started and they have already destroyed Shizuka Prefecture and Shiggy is going to destroy mount Fuji.
@@jin2821 And pretty much every character in the series struggles to dodge Piercing blood even 20f Sukuna.
@@Agent-57 Bro must be on another level of retard. First of all, that mach 3 statement only meant as in travel speed, this is further proven by the fact its been contradicted on multiple occasions, for example, Maki catching a bullet point blank range, which was calced from mach 9 - mach 21. More proof on this is the black hole feat from Kenjaku and Sukuna dodging EM waves, so saying JJK would cap at Mach 3 is blatantly wrong.
Next up the scaling, Bro has never heard of AP or DC☠. Gojo has Planetary+ AP via the same black hole feat from Kenjaku, also there are statements from the back of the manga cover stating Sukuna has the power to destroy the world. If say "Oh, thats hax" Hey stupid, Kenjaku had to be putting the same amount of power as black hole to resist it, "Oh Yuki and Tengen were holding it back" Kenjaku out scales both of them EASILY☠. So yes, JJK caps at Planetary+ - Maybe small star level with FTL+ speeds.

The thumbnail is so good!
Yeah this fight is really up to interpretation in a lot of ways, and since there's no absolute answer to the questions it asks, the winner may vary from person to person interpreting how their powers interact. That said, here's my interpretations and who I think wins:
(Recent spoilers discussed below)
-First, I think quirk vestiges do count as souls. This is because of All Might having a vestige, despite not having a quirk. And what's more, this vestige changes appearance to look more like All Might if the real one dies, seemingly taking on more of his soul as it leaves the body.
-Due to the above ruling, Shigaraki can see Mahito because he can see quirk vestiges. This includes those outside of his own body and even All Might's quirkless vestige. In other words, he can see souls and ghosts, so he should likely see Mahito.
-(I have no idea what'd happen if he tried to use the AFO quirk on Mahito though.)
-Shigaraki should also know the shape of his soul due to his prolonged internal battle with AFO. That said, due to Mahito's ability interpreting the soul only being connected to the body, several of Shigaraki's moves may not do any real harm to Mahito, including some forms of Decay. It's possible only physical attacks would really have that backing of the soul needed to harm Mahito, meaning anything long-range won't work.
-And to continue being nice to Mahito: Shigaraki should have cursed energy naturally for the same reason we'd assume anyone fighting Goku has Ki and anywhere Obi-Wan fights has the Force floating about; if an energy source is everywhere in every mundane corner of the universe or produced by every mundane human & animal, I think it's fair to just assume the average opponent/location of another series has it too if there's no good reason not too. That said, Shigaraki has no more ability to use Cursed energy than the average jjk human, so all this means is that Shigaraki can be targeted by Self Embodiment of Perfection.
That said, I think the winner is still Shigaraki. He has more than enough transformation & mutation quirks to deal plenty of physical damage to Mahito, and he's smart enough to figure out their effectiveness.
And if it ever came down to a battle of souls due to Mahito touching him or using his Domain, Tomura's soul is far above standard. Bare minimum he's got a few hundred "meat" shield in the quirk vestiges to protect his own soul, and destruction of vestiges hasn't been shown to remove their abilities so it's not like he'd sacrifice quirks to protect himself this way. But also, Tomura's own soul may be dangerous in itself to Mahito; probably not on Sukuna's level, but enough to at least put up a fight if it came to it.
Mahito's soul should scale directly to his body for obvious reasons; probably ranging from multi-block to outright City level if you're generous. Tomura's is harder to scale (so prepare for power-scaling nonsense); but since his soul overpowered OFA with his emotions & willpower, we can put the power of his soul higher than 9 above-avarage human souls at the low end, and above the full power of One For All itself (so about island to country level) at the high end.
Overall, while there may or may not be ways for Mahito to win, there just looks to be a lot more ways that he loses. It's still up in the air who wins in a battle of souls, but since Shigaraki has a decent chance to kill Mahito before it even comes to that, I've got to give it to him.
W take
Honestly Shigaraki slams if we equalized verses mahito would literally just enter shigaraki innate domain and then shigaraki ducks him up there
Personally I don’t really know about giving ce to everyone…mostly because it needs to be learned.
I know it’s mostly in the sport of fairness but logically speaking if a person gets dropped into the jjk universe they won’t even be aware of this new energy source, let alone how to control it.
@@ThelordHayden34 I mean, CE needs to be learned how to _use,_ sure; it's much like Ki in Dragon Ball where a normal human like Videl needs to learn Ki control in order to use cool Ki moves like flight. But that doesn't she didn't have Ki before she learned how to use in in cool ways, and it's the same with CE. Both are naturally occurring energies that appear in all living things (or at least tones with emotions in the case of Cursed Energy).
You're right that out-on-universe characters wouldn't know about this energy or how to use it, neither do most normal humans in JJK, but we don't bring this idea up to give the opponents of JJK charterers a new power system or anything, it's to decide if abilities that target a person's Cursed Energy work on them.
After all, there are characters in JJk who don't have any CE and thus get some immunity to those CE-targetting attacks. However these characters are rare exceptions who don't have Cursed Energy for a good reason; and normal people who have, but have not learned how to use, Cursed Energy have no such immunity to such CE-targeting abilities. So this is a matter of deciding if an out-of-universe character should fall into the first category or the second by mere virtue of being out-of-universe.
To again draw comparisons to Ki: it's a bit like arguing if an out-of-universe fighter dropped into Dragon Ball should have Ki or not; granting all the advantages the absence of Ki gave the Androids if they do not.
@@GiftOfKnowledge-np9vg I mean , I dm know they would have ce. I’m saying the couldn’t use it . Therefore out of verse charters couldn’t harm curses spirits if we put it logically.

@@zaphyr290also fun fact shiggy is aware of his own soul, can see souls, has resistance to soul manipulation, and can even hit and absorb souls.

@@reasonablequit7535Ain't no way you said mahito is smarter and a greater strategist. Overall I think shigaraki in every single stat is just way more broken. Mahito only has that one hit move. Also with shigaraki knowing everything mahito can do he can easily just wear out mahito for days since he not only can fly, has many long ranged quirks, and could even put a bad quirk inside mahito or something that makes mahito weaker in a certain way. I just think shigaraki has many more positives than mahito

diddy vs drake
Well if we said shiggy didn't have a soul then by that logic Shiggy doesn't have cursed energy meaning Shiggy wouldn't be able to attack Mahito at all
A lot of people seem to forgot something, Shigaraki has All For One,which has multiple vestiges of the quirks AFO has stolen over the years and recently its shown that the vestiges in AFO can rebel if AFO gets too emotional in a negative way and loses his control of their quirks,so if you use verse equalization and say vestiges are souls , wouldn't this mean Shigaraki's soul can't be affected? Plus Shigaraki literally hid his younger self away which is shown to be another vestige,so without counting the vestiges in AFO, Shigaraki has three souls inside him and a lot more in AFO.
A lot of people also ignore that a lot of these characters are smart and quick learners so they can figure out a lot of things quickly if they see it at least once , Shigaraki also has a force field and a laser quirk he never uses for some reason, idk if his regeneration will help much but so far this fight leans towards Shigaraki,Mahito can win though as well in many ways.
Shigaraki gets one tapped
No, Shigi soul can still be affected, the only reason Mahito never attempted to one-shot Yuji via soul manip is because of Sukuna, he knows that if he even dares to touch Yuji's soul he will be touching Sukuna's soul aswell and Sukuna would cut him down immediately, so unless were saying AFO or any of the other souls are more advanced with the soul then Mahito, Mahito can still one shot him.
No no he might be resistant to it but not immune
@badroboudjerda4394 if mahito interacted with shiggys soul all the vestiges in shigaraki would literally jump him like sukuna cut mahito
@@troyblair1133no he doesn’t
Shigiraki’s body adapted and mutated as a result of having his Quirks stripped away by Erasure by way of multiple arms, fingers, etc. With his strong sense of self and the multiple quirk vestiges within him, along with Tenko (the soul) being hidden deep down, Shigiraki could tank Idle Transformation, adapt, and use it to his advantage.
I know its old but the last senario you say mahitos domain wont have a sure hit on shigaraki because he has no cursed energy by that logic its a win for mahito as some one who has no cursed energy can't hurt him and see him
there ya go
P. Diddy vs P. Diddy, who touches who first

shigaraki in his prime has fused with afo and he has ofa which means that he has danger sense which can let him dodge mahito's attacks. Next, we can see that when afo show off his quirks, there's a quirk about souls but we don't see him control one's soul or at least taking over shigaraki's soul, which means that he can protect his souls from attcks
But the problem is can shigaraki see mahito?
Yes danger sense and search quirk also be reaction speed and easily blitzed mahito
"Does Shigaraki have a soul"
6:30 is a literal scene of his soul.
The average human has ce, only time they dont have is when its specified to be 0 like in the case of toji or maki
Well the part where you talk about the possibility of a domain expansion can work. Everyone has curse energy, just very small amounts. That's why infinite void worked on all those people in the train station. Tge only ones that are immune to a domain expansion are toji and maki since they have no curse energy
If we do cross verse scaling, we should assume that shigarakis quirks run off of cursed energy, otherwise they wouldn’t damage mahito. But it’s interesting because the same mechanism that allows yuji to see souls (via. The result of being a vessel) is arguably the equivalent of hosting multiple quirks and being able to feel the vestiges.
AFO has been able to swap consciousness with shiggy multiple times similar to yuji/ sukuna so they function very similarly to a vessel/ curse relationship and AFO has also been able to perceive the vestiges of OFA around deku. If thats not “perception of the soul” idk what is. With that, shiggys powers are so overwhelmingly broken, it makes no sense how mahito can beat him. Even with idle transfiguration, shiggy has displayed the ability to react to / adapt to “soul” damage via. Star & Stripes battle with him. Although he may sustain damage from I.T. he can still change his body to adapt to the damage. Shiggy wins
Thats a nice take on that

If you think of it like Dragonball how Goku is a Saiyan, which gives him Saiyan powers. You can call that his quirk. But all characters have Qi, which is his energy. In MHA, characters have quirks (super powers). In JJK characters have Cursed energy (Qi).
i remember having a talk with someone on a comment section about sigaraki vs mahito. They claimed some sorcerers could use RCT to heal the decay, which honestly makes sense, so i feel like what shigaraki makes up for in high range he lacks in true damage
Nah, this battle is not closed shigaraki is blatantly winning, his abilities alone will allow him to win in chapter 406 or 407 is where he stated that he can see all mites spirit meaning he can see souls and things of that nature and he knows immediately what's wrong with it. So even if mahito tried to change his soul or someone else's, he will immediately know, He also has search which was upgraded so he doesn't just only search for people. He can now search for the weakness inside of his opponents and their abilities /personalities and he has the reflect power which allows him to reflect your own attacks back at you but stronger and his vestige realm actually takes place in the soul and it's been shown to be able to defend his own soul and fight against other souls so I really don't see how mahito's winning.
The voice of the fourth outcome, since we’ve been giving a description that tells us man to generate his body for nothing. There’s a chance one decay would move him without a body and make it so he can’t even generate one. You said it might take them a lot of energy but since his ability description is that he manipulates the body by moving the soul, that means if his body is gone, he might not be able to do anything because it’s like having a controller with no consul if that’s only a possibility
And yeah, the Shigaki can’t see him part is pretty boring and doesn’t even make it a fight since only one of the characters knows that there’s someone else there and if it’s that one sided that’s not really a fight
Shigiraki can see him with the quirk: search
It too mention that mahito got his shit kicked in by itadori 😂
A guy that can barely lift up a car and run at 50mph
Whereas shigiraki can react to light speed attack and is as strong as prime all might and can one shot mahito with decay or keep him at long range with air canon
Mahito along with 99% of jjk can’t even come close to shigiraki 🤷♂️
Also the vestiges are confirmed as souls in the manga and shigiraki and Deku can attack them
THANK YOU🙏🙏🙏FOR BRINGING UP THE FACT THAT AT BARE MINIMUM SHIGGY COULD AT LEAST DETECT MAHITO🧎
Wait wait wait mahito is create by CE and CE isn’t exits in MHA you think Search can detect what doesn’t exist in it verse?
@@azohoangi69 heard of verse equalization??
@@azohoangi69it's like saying domains doesn't work cus shigaraki doesn't have CE🙄
Yeah itadori who (barley lifts a car) is soloing deku
You also have to consider the quality of a persons soul, sukuna had less curse energy then mahito or jogo yet the quality of his soul was so high that his soul couldn't be manipulated by mahito, if the quirk vestiges are comparable to an actual soul, the fact that all for one has been building up shigaraki's hatred and mental fortitude for the sole purpose of stealing one for all, lends credit to the idea that shigaraki's will might be great enough to resist having his soul manipulated by mahito. if even nanami can resist mahitos touch temporarily, then shigaraki definitely could resist having his soul manipulated, even if only for a few seconds, more than long enough to turn mahito to dust.
Sorry to tell you homie but Sukuna has more than double Yuta's amount of CE at 2 fingers, I'm pretty sure he had more CE than mahito
@dalaw9660 where in the manga exactly did it say that 2 finger sukuna would have more cursed energy then Yuta. I thought it was sukuna having a highly refined domain, better than anyone else, the refinement of one's innate domain, representing the quality of the soul that allowed sukuna to resist mahito.
@@carlhenry3974 Sukuna's soul was stronger than Jogo at 2 fingers and that is it.
Yuta never comes up.
@khulmach9662 didn't kenjaku say that jogo was equivalent to sukuna with 3 or 4 fingers, maybe 5. I don't think 2 finger sukuna has more cursed energy than jogo, but he's still a superior fighter and tactician, as well as having a more refined domain.
@@carlhenry3974 Kenjaku said Sukuna was worth 8 fingers, but that is only in curse energy amount.
Sukuna gave no praise or indicator that Jogo could beat 3 finger Sukuna but he gave one to Mahoraga.
Even then, Sukuna said "Maybe" Mahoraga could beat him. Not even a guarantee and this only factors in Sukuna playing around like his 15-finger self.
All round Jogo's value would be 5-6 fingers max if we measure everything.
3 finger sukuna is stronger than just 3 fingers because its only factoring his curse energy reserves and not Sukuna's refinement, output, speed, and power. The fingers are only an indicator for how much curse energy he has.
Mahito being strategic makes me believe that he would know about shiggy’s abilities, making him activate his domain immediately.
So if Shiggy were to somehow destroyed his body I mean, turn it into complete ash would Mahito be able to come back from that?
Yes because it can't destroy his soul. He can come back from nothing as long as the soul remains and sense he is a curse he has a infinite soul. Unless he can attack his soul with decay wich probably not as yuji has much more than having another soul In him to know the shape of the soul. Honestly it goes to Mahito 8 times out of 10
@@ratman7923 yeah but Mahito wouldn’t be able to do anything since to stop Mahito abilities is just know the layout of your soul and guard it shigaraki has technically has already done that
@@ratman7923 yeah but Mahito wouldn’t be able to do anything since to stop Mahito abilities is just know the layout of your soul and guard it shigaraki has technically has already done that if you consider vestjis souls
you haven't taken into account the fact that shigaraki's physical body already completely morphs and augments itself into grotesque shapes and what not to adapt to situations and that's while having his quirk erased as well.
Great video, But I can't help but feel like you're lowballing MHA's speed scaling here. Deku dodging that Sonic Attack from Jiro isn't anywhere NEAR his best speed feat, Supersonic - MHS MHA isn't super consistent, as multiple characters have reacted to and evaded actual light beams. Deku especially, in his battle against flect turn, was able to evade and react to SEVERAL lasers at the same time. Which we know were light-based, based on the fact they were literally bouncing off of mirrors. And these laser-timing feats are fairly consistent when you look at other characters like Star and Stripe who was also able to react to and dodge laser beams and Radio Waves (both of these travelling at the speed of light). And Shigaraki surpasses all of these characters, at least how they were at the time these feats were performed. So Relativistic lowball to FTL highball via Calcs MHA is much more consistent.
Given this, it's likely that Shigaraki would blitz Mahito given such a massive speed discrepancy. Of course, that doesn't account for the other nuances for this fight like, if Shigaraki would even be able to see or Kill Mahito -- But I do believe it's fairly blatant that Shigaraki's AP and Speed Scaling is much much Higher than Mahito's.
Shigaraki's quirks are enough to kill Mahito, without touching
Bruh gege needs to expand on the "can't k!ll without ce" thing cus this is just getting out off hand.
Self-Embodiment of Perfection
Need I say more?
shigaraki fucking destroys mahito, shigaraki with the vestiges are souls, considering all might is a vestige before dying, shigaraki outright suppresses vestiges and overpowers others, and shigaraki is ftl, adding danger sense and how decay negates durability and regeneration along with the added ways of how it can decay a city in SECONDS. mahito has zero ways of defending himself, shigaraki solos him and the verse, including gojo since shigaraki has spacial manipulation quirks and decay when he touches the ground wouldnt count as a physical attack infinity could divide, since gojo needs to be able to not only analyze the threat with his automatic brain, but be aware of it as well, which is how world cleave got past infinity, fucking mirko would solo the verse minus gojo
When were vestige's confirmed the equalization of souls at all? As far as I'm concerned, Vestige's aren't souls.
nah cs shigaraki finna be casually fighting then he just feels himself burst from inside by a fucking invisible force
So if mahito can come back for ever because of his curse technique, Shigaraki could use All For One to take his power, making him unable to manipulate his soul and finally be able to kill him
Mahito can run out of CE and Nanami confirms that at that point anybody eben if they cant percieve the soul can merk him, cuz his CT cant work with little CE.
Finally someone with a brain
@thegreatestoctopus9739 all for one only works with quirks
Not cursed techniques
@@mritchie2.0 you ever heard of verse equalisation?
@@thegreatestoctopus9739 ever heard of not using it
So really, this battle is dependent on how we handle how Mahito's Curse Techniques can affect Shigiraki and vice versa.
2:33 bro??? Did u even read the manga💀💀💀💀
💀💀💀
Fr
Why would anyone read that shit💀
@@prokorok whats ur fav manga tard?
@@prokorok The manga ain’t even bad though.
If idle transfiguration relies on mahito's reaction time to reform his body, then decay might act too fast for him to react since as far as we can tell a touch to the head is an instakill, there is no time at all to react
Wait, do demons in demon Slayer can maintain their inability to die without the nichirin blade or sunlight, but in debates cursed spirits can't retain the requirement that they have to be exercised with CE? Even if Shiggy can hit the soul, his attacks need CE
The body is formed from the soul and Mahito's body is made of CE. Soul damage is one of the few things that should override the need for CE in an attack, by the logic of Mahito's technique.
@@ZenithAniManga Except for the fact that Mahito's technique also falls within the laws of Jujutsu and CE. For example, even though Yuji is aware of his soul he can't hurt Mahito without using CE. To even have a chance at interacting with the laws of his technique you have to also use CE.
Its quite complicated if mahito can land his domain sure hit it means that shigaraki loses if but if he cant land his domain sure hit it means shigaraki has no CE so he cant even see him (jjk verse is quite complicated to equalize compared to other verses)
2:49 So...A soul? They are souls... just that they're bits ingrained in their quirks. Because how can you explain the stuff in the manga where Afo suffers from his quirks going wild
No. How did you even get that out of his explanation without having prior bias? Consciousness and the soul are two separate things, physicalizing consciousness and the soul are also two separate things. The users’ consciousness is ingrained in One for All, not their soul. You just simplified what he said into a different meaning to support your point. As he was saying, there is still no evidence that souls the way they work in jjk exist within the standards of My Hero Academia.
AfO’s quirks going wild has such an easy explanation too. Imagine 100 people screaming things in your head as you’re trying to do something specific like use one out of many quirks. You’re going to startle and or make mistakes because of it, loud noises can cause people to freeze as well so amplify a scream times 100 and AfO should just be unaffected?
Shigi is gonna pull the "I don't know if I have a soul" and proceeds to obliterate all of JJK
Will Shigaraki even be able to kill Mahito though? Because you need cursed energy to kill curses and the mha power system is not some kind of magical energy but a part of their genes. This means verse equalization would be pointless because both of these power systems can coexist without contradicting each other and the mha characters would just not have any cursed energy.
I would argue that soul damage surpasses that need, if we assume Shigaraki can do that. Since the "body" (which is cursed energy for Mahito) is shaped after the soul.
then its a draw, they cant interact with each other, they cant do anything with each other
People realize mahito can still be killed by being dusted right?
Shigarakis power destroys matter on the atomic level, he can kill mahito
@@sbcs2809 buddy, MAHITO IS invisible how tf is shiggy even gonna touch him let alone see him?
Fam,lil bro can’t even see me
Shigaraki speed billz and one tap
The interesting thing to include in the equation is All for One's own vestige within Shigaraki. Vestiges are generally treated as spirits tied to quirks, even Shigaraki describing it as his soul when resisting All for One's takeover. The thing is Shigaraki inherently has an identity crisis, which may leave him vulnerable to Mahito's abilities. Thing is All for One could easily step in and render it a non issue, something he has done when Shigaraki is in danger or is at risk of dying.
Especially with Search, All for One stepping into the picture could essentially end the fight immediately given how far more intelligent and calculating he is, being able to exploit the weakness of even unpredictable genocidal madmen
Because curses are considered an "energy" power system (one energy, many uses, intangible to non-magic-users), and quirks are a "natural" power system (magic = extension of the body, fully tangible) verse equalisation needs to be applied.
Therefore:
-They can see eachother and their "magic".
-Shiggy has a soul (multiple ones).
-Activating a quirk = activating a curse technique.
-Mahito's powers are considered a quirk.
Honestly, I think it's 70/30 in Shiggy's favour. Physical prowess, versatility in abilities and being able to yoink Mahito's powers (probably will take a couple of seconds of direct contact tho).
This is how the vid should’ve been set up fr😭
Because ion think he even ever mentions how Mahito would be completely invisible/ intangible
(Edit: 7:43)
If there is verse equalization, then mahito does a domain expansion and wins.
I'm pretty sure towards the beginning of the story when we learn about shigaraki it says that he decays the body and soul

Shiggy bodies in every situation in this part. Shiggy is far superior in every physical way and wouldn't have issues not getting touched by Mahito. A simple comparison is how Jogo, who is is arguable stronger or at least around the strength of Mahito, literally NEVER touched 15 finger Sakuna with a single attack. Shiggy is absurdly stronger than 15 finger Sakuna, with more versatility, speed, etc, and would similarly ever get touched by Mahito and would shred his down until he is out of cursed energy.

Domain expansion won’t be activated because Shigaraki speedblitzes. Even if mahito uses idle transfiguration, Shigaraki can cut off the limb and heal it.
Verse equalization always happens. Plus, everyone has cursed energy by default so it doesn’t matter
Extreme Tag with the boys
shiggy wins nine times out of ten because of decay. decay will damage mahito either way as the soul resides in the body and if there is no body the soul is irrelevant(this is the same reason why hollow purple will kill mahito) and shiggy is faster the only way mahito wins is if shiggy cant see mahito which is still unlikely cuz search quirk could likely still see him
Shigaraki still can't kill mahito has Shigaraki has no soul-based attacks but mainly because Shigaraki lacks cursed energy to exercise mahito.
For Mahito’s technique the soul comes before the body so no matter how many times Mahito turns into dust he’ll come back.
