In Jujutsu Kaisen, the strongest Shikigami under Megumi Fushiguro’s possession is the Divine General Mahoraga. It was not until recently that Mahoraga appeared in the anime during the Shibuya Incident Arc. Megumi had summoned it to fight against Haruta Shigemo and later by Sukuna to fight Satoru Gojo.

Mahoraga is considered Megumi’s trump card, as well as that of the Zenin Clan. However, it is challenging to tame, and nobody in his clan could ever control it. The Divine General plays a pivotal role in the fight between Satoru Gojo and Sukuna, who is already in possession of Megumi’s body in the Shinjuku Showdown Arc.

Mahoraga was not shown much until Jujutsu Kaisen progressed a bit. Although it was mentioned early in the manga, the Divine General first appeared in the second season of the anime. It is incredibly powerful and holds enough strength to push even the King of Curses, Sukuna.

The 10 Shadows Technique is passed down from generation to generation within the Zenin Clan. It allows the user to control ten different Shikigami using shadow as a medium. However, the user must tame these entities before accessing control over them. It is said that no one could tame the Divine General in Zenin Clan’s history. This goes to show how strong Mahoraga is.

Mahoraga is a tall, humanoid-looking entity with a monstrous and menacing appearance. Pale in complexion, Mahoraga has four horn-like protrusions from his face and a golden eight-handled wheel floating over his head. One of Mahoraga’s significant abilities is adapting to any attack. This means the same attack will not work twice on the Divine General. Defeating it is theoretically impossible, but a few characters in the series, such as Yuta, Yuki, and Sukuna, can overwhelm the Shikigami.

As one of the ten shadows, Mahoraga requires an incantation to summon, which goes like, “With this treasure, I summon…” followed by the name of the Divine General. In the Shinjuku Showdown Arc, Sukuna used Mahoraga to counter Gojo’s Infinity Void, which shows how terrifying its ability to adapt is.

What are Mahoraga’s abilities in Jujutsu Kaisen?

Along with its incredible physique, Mahoraga possesses the following abilities:

  • Adaptation: Its most prominent ability, Mahoraga can adapt to any circumstance. For instance, if it cannot break a defense while attacking, the Shikigami strategizes accordingly. Also, if it takes damage from an attack, it can adapt to that move, which implies that Mahoraga can easily deflect it if used again.

  • Superior Physique: Its exceptional physique allows it to overwhelm the enemies effortlessly. During Mahoraga’s battle with Sukuna in the second season, it sent the King of Curses flying through several buildings with a single hit.

  • Sword of Extermination: It possesses a blade attached to its right hand. The Sword of Extermination is engulfed with positive energy, which assists the Shikigami significantly during battles.

Mahoraga is one of the most powerful entities in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, highlighted during the intense battles of the Shibuya Incident and Shinjuku Showdown Arcs. However, its untamable nature poses significant challenges. Its pivotal role, especially in the clash between Satoru Gojo and Sukuna, underscores its critical importance in the series.
