In the original battle between Satoru and Sukuna, information played a crucial role.
Especially Satoru's Hollow Technique: Purple and Domain Expansion: Infinite Void, which he never tried to hide.
Limitless is a Cursed Technique passed down through the Gojo Family, and information about it is almost public.
Of course, this "almost public" refers to Limitless's absolute defense, Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue, and Cursed Technique Reversal: Red.
After all, Limitless is a Cursed Technique, and anyone in the Gojo Family has a chance to awaken it.
Only the Six Eyes, a special physique, is unique, with only one appearing in each era.
Therefore, Hollow Technique: Purple and Domain Expansion: Infinite Void were Satoru's personal trump cards.
However, the proud Satoru never hid these two trump cards.
When facing Jogo, who had come to witness a high-level battle, Satoru generously displayed his Domain as teaching material.
This allowed the Sukuna inside Itadori Yuji, as well as the rescued Jogo, to obtain information about Infinite Void.
Coupled with Hollow Technique: Purple being used during the Kyoto Sister School Exchange Event.
It could be said that the confident Satoru had completely exposed his information.
Of course, Choso also played a major role in this information issue.
When Satoru and Sukuna began their battle, Choso once said, "Based on the information provided by Yuji and Inumaki, I believe Sukuna's Domain does not enclose a barrier, it is an open-type Domain."
If this conclusion had been told to Satoru earlier, the outcome of the battle might have changed significantly.
Satoru could have prepared tactics in advance to deal with an open-type Domain, and perhaps he could have taken Sukuna out before exhausting himself.
However, this time, Sukuna no longer held the information advantage.
Satoru had used Hollow Technique: Purple over the years, but even Kenjaku had not obtained information about Domain Expansion: Infinite Void.
So the only information Kenjaku could pass on to Sukuna was Limitless, Blue, Red, and Purple.
On the other hand, Satoru had already learned about Sukuna's open-type Domain, Dismantle, Cleave, Open, and Domain Amplification from Eichi's phone call.
He even had information about Sukuna's second form.
This time, it was Satoru who held the information advantage.
Satoru swooped down from the sky, delivering a powerful kick toward Sukuna with enough force to split mountains.
'So fast.'
Sukuna's four eyes widened, fully tracking Satoru's movements.
Thick Cursed Energy wrapped around both of his arms.
After realizing he could not dodge the blow, Sukuna chose to cross his arms above his head and take it head-on.
Crack.
The sound of bones shattering rang out.
Sukuna's feet left the ground, and using Satoru's immense force, he spun his body and returned a kick to Satoru.
Thwack.
Sukuna's attack landed heavily on Satoru's body.
"Interesting, can you really use both Domain Expansion and Domain Amplification at the same time?"
When using Domain Amplification, Cursed Techniques become unusable, let alone Domain Expansion.
But Sukuna managed to do it.
The reason was that when using Domain Amplification, the body is wrapped in it, making the Cursed Technique engraved into the body unusable.
However, Sukuna's Cursed Technique had already been imbued into his Domain, Malevolent Shrine.
In other words, at this moment, Sukuna was having Malevolent Shrine use his Cursed Technique, while he himself used Domain Amplification to wrap his body, neutralizing Satoru's Limitless and allowing his attacks to connect.
"A very good idea, but the advantage in close combat is mine."
Satoru revealed a confident smile, then charged at Sukuna without hesitation.
However, contrary to Satoru's expectations, Sukuna did not engage him in a fierce close-quarters battle.
Instead, he adopted a defensive stance, focusing mainly on stalling for time.
Noticing this, Satoru abandoned all defensive actions and launched a full-power assault on Sukuna.
This was the first time Satoru had ever struck someone with his full strength.
And his opponent was also the first enemy to survive a full-power attack from him.
Crack, crack, crack.
Under Sukuna's desperate stalling, 216 seconds passed.
Satoru's Domain barrier was finally shattered by Sukuna.
"It's my turn, you bastard."
A sinister grin appeared on Sukuna's face.
This King of Curses, the strongest in history, had encountered countless dangers, but those had always come from being besieged by many powerful opponents.
This was his first time being beaten so badly by a single person.
Naturally, Sukuna could not swallow this humiliation.
The moment the Domain shattered, a slash cut across Satoru's neck.
Even in such a dangerous situation, Satoru smiled, a very happy smile.
"Now I can confirm that in terms of Cursed Technique performance, I have an overwhelming advantage."
His unrestrained, wild laughter even made it seem as though Satoru was the one with the upper hand at that moment.
To everyone's astonishment, Satoru, who had been laughing wildly a second ago, turned and ran the next second.
Sukuna's Domain did not have an enclosed barrier, so Satoru did not need to use a Cursed Technique to break through it, he could simply run out with his own legs.
"Don't think you can escape!"
Countless slashes tore across Satoru's body.
Bloody flowers bloomed across his body. Although Satoru was the one fleeing, Sukuna was the one in a hurry.
Seeing that the Domain's slashes could not effectively harm Satoru, who was defending himself with Cursed Energy and constantly healing with Reverse Cursed Technique, Sukuna could only step in personally to delay him.
Bang, bang, bang.
"Finally done hiding, you coward."
Covered in blood, Satoru gripped Sukuna tightly with both hands.
"Hmph, who was the one running away just now, you small fry."
Sukuna sneered as well, staring directly into Satoru's Six Eyes.
But very quickly, Sukuna noticed something unusual.
'He stopped using Reverse Cursed Technique to heal his body, why?'
"Cursed Technique Reversal: Red."
Satoru suddenly used one hand to force Sukuna's slender body into his embrace, then aimed his other hand at Sukuna's forehead like a pistol.
A crimson sphere radiating an ominous glow bloomed in Sukuna's astonished eyes.
Boom!
Sukuna was violently blasted away by the sudden repulsive force, crashing into his own shrine.
"Ah, that was pretty tiring."
As he said this, Satoru elegantly formed a hand sign with one hand.
"Domain Expansion: Infinite Void!"
A Domain Expansion that ordinary people could only use once a day appeared for the second time today within Malevolent Shrine.
"Don't get too arrogant, you small fry!"
Sukuna rose in a disheveled state, forming hand signs with both hands as well.
Crack.
This time, in just two minutes, Satoru's Infinite Void was shattered!
It turned out that Sukuna had made a Binding Vow to quickly destroy Satoru's Domain barrier, sacrificing the sure-hit effect within the Domain in exchange for even greater destructive power.
At the same time, Sukuna had just changed the Domain's conditions, just like Satoru had.
By shrinking the Domain's range to just enough to envelop Satoru's Domain, he further increased its power.
Thus, Satoru's Domain shattered for the second time.
Even after his Domain was shattered for the second time, Satoru's face showed no panic, only extreme seriousness.
The next second, Satoru lowered his stance slightly and spread his hands, one facing outward and one facing inward, as if holding something.
"Falling Blossom Emotion."
Falling Blossom Emotion, a secret Cursed Technique passed down within the Big Three Families.
It allows one to automatically deflect incoming attacks with Cursed Energy.
When facing slashing-type Cursed Techniques like Sukuna's, it is far more effective than Simple Domain.
Against complex Cursed Technique effects like Infinite Void, it is not as effective as Simple Domain.
"Trying to stall for time, huh? Don't think you'll succeed!"
Sukuna began to fully unleash his Domain, rapidly depleting Satoru's Falling Blossom Emotion.
Countless wounds began to appear on Satoru's body.
But Satoru remained completely calm.
Satoru lowered his stance slightly, taking on a sword-drawing posture.
New Shadow Style: Simple Domain.
"Tch, he's really tenacious."
Sukuna looked displeased at the stubbornly resisting Simple Domain.
"Likewise."
The moment Simple Domain disappeared, Satoru once again formed a hand sign with one hand.
"Domain Expansion: Infinite Void."
