Complete Guide to Megumi Fushiguro's Shikigami: Ten Shadows Technique, Mahoraga & Chimera Shadow Garden

Introduction

In the world of "Jujutsu Kaisen", the inherited Zenin family technique "Ten Shadows Technique" possessed by the prodigy jujutsu sorcerer Fushiguro Megumi is one of the most complex and potentially limitless abilities in the story. From the cool Divine Dogs to the despair-inducing Mahoraga, Fushiguro's shikigami are not only the core of his combat but also drive important developments in the plot.

This article will provide a comprehensive analysis of Fushiguro Megumi's "Ten Shadows Technique", delving into the abilities and characteristics of each shikigami that has appeared, exploring what Chimera Beast is, and unveiling the mystery of the strongest shikigami Mahoraga, as well as its powerful Domain Expansion "Chimera Shadow Garden".

What is the "Ten Shadows Technique"?

"Ten Shadows Technique" is a cursed technique inherited by the Zenin family, one of the Three Great Families, where the user uses their own shadow as a medium to summon up to ten different shikigami.

Core Mechanics:

• Initial Shikigami: "Divine Dogs" can be used from the very beginning
• Taming Ritual: The remaining shikigami must be defeated through a taming ritual before they can be subdued and commanded
• Inheritance of Power: If a shikigami is completely destroyed, its power will be inherited by other shikigami

For example, after Fushiguro Megumi's white Jade Hound is destroyed, its power is inherited by the black one, evolving into the more powerful Jade Hound "Kon".
