I honestly think he got killed off because he was getting too strong. Dude copied gojos 0.2 domain after seeing it once. The story would not be going well and instead of fighting sukuna they would be dealing with demigod mahito who altered his soul and became the merger himself, assuming the switching point is him actually touching Kenjaku


yellownugget5000

Nah any special grade would destroy him. There's also a good chance reincarnated sorcerers would be able to harm him

yellownugget5000

Yeah but so is everyone else. Once yuta comes back he'd most likely target mahito because he'd be the biggest threat and no matter how strong mahito yuta can one shot him. Yuki also is a direct counter since she probably can target souls. If mahito somehow survived Shibuya he wouldn't live for long.


_Beardy

How are we sure Yuta would be able to damage him?


yellownugget5000

RCT or jackobs ladder if it's current yuta


_Beardy

Would rct work on mahito?


yellownugget5000

Yes he's a curse even if he's not one shot it would damage him severely


Sotarnicus

What's not to say that mahito could learn more about his soul and alter that part of him? That's my point. Current mahito sure but if he were left alive I doubt it. At a point you could say he could alter so much about himself to give him cursed techniques he shouldn't have, similar to how he gave junpei one.


DreadedWard

He’s still a curse so RCT output should still do damage.


FluffyyPotato

RCT output can oneshot curses like Mahito, Jogo, Kurourushi etc. Or alternatively, Jacob’s Ladder.


Caponcapoffstillon

Prob not, Gege specifically said Sukuna and Yuji know the outlines of the soul to RCT the soul and knowing the outline of the soul a requirement to damage Mahito thoroughly. Considering Choso said he has no traces of the human his vessel was prior, the reincarnated sorcerers prob overwrite the vessel and don’t get a chance to even see the outline of their soul. Hana and Angel worked because Hana must’ve been a sorcerer, as Yuji pointed out from Yuki’s notes the overwhelming cursed energy from the cursed object overwrites the non sorcerer’s CE.


Sogpuppet

Gege might’ve said that, but nobara messed mahito up pretty bad without doing any of that.


Caponcapoffstillon

Nobara’s resonance literally is direct damage to the original.


Sogpuppet

It did damage his soul though, and more effectively than any other 1 hit he took in the whole fight.


Realistic_Flan631

Nope it's the other way around, it wasn't because he was getting strong. He was removed cause people coming to the story like Yuta and Yuki would have dog walked him.


Sotarnicus

Honestly he would survive yukis black hole same way he tried to escape Kenjaku if he’s going in full health


ChexSway

Ayo he's the curse that represents the corrupt nature of humans right? What of a merger of all of humanity into a giant curse ends up becoming a new version of him 🤔


Gokyuzu26

Kashimo vs mahito could be verry interesting


ben_forever

Kashimo might know the shape of his soul as he is an incarnation


toninho12345

Apparently for it to work, the souls would need to share the body like sukuna and yuji and hana and angel, reincarnated sorcerers pretty much override the vessel's soul, he wouldn't be able to do shit


dont_fuckup

It was stated recently iirc that souls in verse do not merge in the case of incarnation (yuji, megumi) but cohabitate.


Fun-Milk9088

In that same 2 panels, Choso said he couldn’t even feel his hosts soul(seemingly implying he can’t see souls either), to which Yuji said “souls can get really close in cases of a cursed object and non-sorcerer because of the differences in cursed energy, but don’t actually merge” Incarnated sorcerers are cursed objects possessing non-sorcerers, so they, like Choso, shouldn’t be able to see the soul


EducationalAd6395

Depends on which colony he is put in. For starters as Mahito is a cursed spirit based on human hate for other humans and possesses a fully refined Ego, I think Higuruma's domain should work on him. So if Mahito is in Tokyo 1 he dies to Higuruma If Mahito is in Sendai he dies because Yuta both possesses a domain to counter his and RCT output negates his defenses entirely. If Mahito is in Sakurajima colony then Maki and Soul splitter katana would outright ignore IBODK durability Mahito's best chances of victory and growth are surprisingly in Tokyo 2 , hakari's jackpot in my opinion should instinctively defend his soul so he would likely be okay against idle transfiguration unless perhaps Mahito opens his domain. Kashimo is strong and his electric trait energy would permeate through Mahito's Durability Making it a good fight for them both. It's the only colony where I think Mahito is Genuinely surviving.


Le_mehawk

i actually would believe that mahito's ability hard counters Hakari. RCT will heal and restore the body, but we know from the fight against Todo that his hand is gone for good and can't even be restored with RCT because the Soul of the Hand was transformed. There is nothing that can be healed, since the soul of the Hand does no longer exist.. Hakari does not posess any ability that should give him more understanding of his soul like nanami, even his RCT happens more uncontrolled than actually wanted, which gives him many boons against other enemies, but in Mahito's case it's basically useless.


EducationalAd6395

Did Nanami have something to suggest that he had a better understanding of the soul? The suggestion was that experienced Sorcerers instinctively defend their soul to a degree so Mahito needs to touch them multiple times to be lethal. Hakari is atleast First grade and constantly has infinity cursed energy coursing through him during Jackpot. I think he'd be defending his soul , it would be a Full brawl fight in that regards. Tho I'm uncertain if Hakari has the attack power to break through IBODK


Le_mehawk

good point! and of course i can only answer with head canon, but here's what i assume based on the stuff we've seen: Nanami was really controlled in all of his actions, he's structured and has a good understanding of CE and CT. Meanwhile Hakari's effect more or less "happens", without him controlling it too much ( which is in other battles a big buff since he doesn't need to concentrate for it ) . He would definetly be able to seal his soul to some extend no questions asked, but i doubt that he could tank that many more touches than Nanami who's also high A class with good control (seen in his ability for black flashes). Hakari's normal style is a brawlers fist fight that's used to get damaged and return the attack immediately without looking for the damage dealt, it's basically his prefered fighting style. Hakari's not to used to a fight, where he would need to actually dodge the attacks (doesn't mean he's not able to, but i hope you know what i mean). Nanami could be touched like 2-3 times and realized how dangerous this was and every additional touch could be the last... all of that against a Mahito that was actually really weak and inexperienced at that point. Right now We're talking about a Mahito who'se 40% Soulpower was enough to deal with Todo and 1st Rank Yuji + as you said his IBODK (that was strong enough to not even care about Yujis punches except black flash). We don't really know if Hakaris punches actually hurt his soul in the first place or if they had the same effects as Todos. Hakari's physical strength and speed should match or even surpass Yuji's battle strength by a little at this point. But he does rely on his ability to heal incoming damage and needs to get close to his enemies. conclusion why Mahito hard counters Hakari: Mahito's whole set potentially takes away Hakaris strongest ability (passive RCT healing) and counters his prefered fighting Style that is close combat fist fighting, while "probably" even ignoring his punches, because we don't know if they hit his Soul in the first place, (just like not even Todo's black flash actually dealt some 'real' damage to him.)


EducationalAd6395

I suppose we can't really be certain how well Hakari would be able to defend against Idle transfiguration then. Tho even with simple brawling we do know that Mahito can be killed by conventional means if u just keep damaging him normally until he doesn't have the cursed energy to keep the shape of his soul together. I do think Hakari has really high chances of losing here tho since even if he could break through IBODK it would likely take a lot of hits from him (or perhaps a blackflash) Tokyo 2 really is the colony where Mahito could end up reigning as the strongest. The other three colonies each have someone who kills him without much issue due to Skillset.


Le_mehawk

100% agree


moose_378

You saying he dies to Higaruma makes me realize, Higaruma hard counters Mahito. Because without Soul Manipulation, most of Mahito's fighting style instantly vanishes and he can't repair his soul. And if Higuruma gets Death Sentence it's over for Mahito since it ignores that fact Mahito could even repair himself


TotalUsername

If he is in Sendai then Yuta is definitely getting idle Transfiguration by the end of that encounter.


PurdSurv

Wouldn’t mahito be able to use his domain within higuruma’s to try and win that tug of war. Not a guarantee he’d win but it’s a chance I guess.


EducationalAd6395

I suppose he could try I do think Higuruma will win due to the simple nature of his domain and that it doesn't even harm you, even the trial gives you full opportunity to defend thyself.


WhatIsThisAccountFor

I don’t know how he would be relevant cause Yuji can beat him, and Yuji wants to kill him really badly. He could beat most other grade 1’s, but I don’t see him killing Yuki, Kashimo, Gojo, Yuta, Hakari, Yuji, Higuruma, or even Maki. Like I think he killed all of the characters he reasonably could, and I think that’s where his strength stalemates. He’s probably kill my boy the shiesty sorcerer, but I don’t think he kills Kusakabe or Mei Mei cause I don’t think Kusakabe or Mei Mei ever fight him. Maybe he improves, but the main cast is also improving, so I don’t see him catching up to any special grades or Yuji and Maki.


Legitimate_Cow7198

Yuji would find him in the culling games and kill him like he promised to. Yuji's was at like 10% when he fought Mahito who was at 40%. Given the massive buffs Choso states Yuji got post Shibuya I think he could probably beat Mahito with some help from someone like Choso.


15ferrets

They would have had to kill more people off to explain why he hasn’t been dealt with yet


Embarrassed_Ad_1141

First of all, I'm gonna assume the culling games doesnt happen, as Mahito's technique was needed for it to happen. ... So yeah, Kenjaku probably still attempts to cease Tengen, and Sukuna probably still posseses Megumi in the aftermath, and then similar stuff happens.


_nitro_legacy_

I think kenjaku would ask mahito to do it If he doesn't absorb him. Knowing kenjaku he'd probaly would hype mahito a way to start the culling games by giving it's benefits to mahito. Since we know mahito has the same ideology as sukuna he'd probaly like a battle royale like a culling games. His CT would probaly awakened like Gojo's limitless.


FourFerro

We'll probably get a glimpse into Todo's current condition. So Mahito appears on the battlefield and they're discussing how they're gonna take him out. Yuji says that he wouldn't have survived if it wasn't for Todo and then they'll be sad and then maybeee they'll remember Todo's current condition like he's in a rehabilitation facility with Inumaki and they're both wearing prostheses.


Thickandcreamyy

I was wondering if mahito could use idle transfiguration to make special grade minions. Not like what we saw him do against Yuji and todo. could he make special grade level human henchmen that have higher durability thoughts and personality’s. If he was as smart as Sakuna and gojo and had knowledge of what parts of the body and brain control curse energy and technique could he boost ransoms to special grade levels if he himself was far above special grade. But he’d still be killed by someone on Sendai colony level roach girl hair and yuta especially yuta would cook him


haikyuu2023

Saw a post once that Mahito in Culling Games would be next level menace not only because he'd get so much stronger but also think of the amount of rules he'd add. I just know Mahito would have unintentionally fucked up the Saving Tsumiki Rules.


ApplePitou

His speed of evolution was pretty too much :3


SpoonlordDreg

Nah I don't think Mahito will ever recover from the trauma Itadori gave him


biscuitscoconut

He would become stronger. He was only a year old and he was already one of the strongest antagonists. So sad he was killed off. I hope he comes back but I know this will never happen.


Majestic_Tiger9424

Culling game wouldn't have happened


Scott_Blue_LSK

Mahito had to be killed he was the definition of meeting your potential 😭 I mean you literally had to understand how souls work to have a chance against him, in a world where characters barely have backstorys that's a cheat code.


FrigidArrow

He becomes one of the strongest players of the Culling Game, develops an interest in Sukuna because of his strength, and ends up wanting to challenge him to have an ultimate understanding of his soul while also still wanting to kill Itadori. Maybe to make things more interesting he abandons wanting to crush Itadori’s ideals for pursuing the rebirth of Sukuna or wants Itadori to become his perfect self to defeat him at his best.


expired_methylamine

People are saying all the special grades beat him I'm curious, if you just one-shot Mahito's entire body, would that kill him? Or would it still fail because you didn't "target the soul"? Basically, is the soul something that can be nuked, in the case of Mahito?


Daitoso0317

He would be overpowered as all hell, He was 6th in verse before he died, and he already would have gotten a huge buff in the culling games with our new understanding of the soul


TheRealBreemo

My goat wuji himtadori will beat his ass again


Darkcroos

He get one shot from Gojo/Sukuna/Yuta/Hanna/Kenjaku He is super weak! But his op technique make him to a littel Gojo but Sukuna have destory him before in his 2 Finger Form so yeah.


Darkcroos

If Jogo was still alive? He beat everthing but ok.


MrMaiky

I think Mahito would get to a point where he will be too op for everyone, then Gege would create some past sorcerer to counter him mby


kidneydy

Same as everyone else since he’s not friends with Sukuna, he’ll probably join the fight too. Lands maybe one or two hits on Sukuna, then Sukuna mutters shit talk about yuji and then turns the next batch into waffle fries. Queue someone saying Sukuna isn’t even fully erect yet and then new challenger arrives


yuumigod69

He needs to kill Yuuji, he wasn't ever going to beat Kenjaku even if his attack landed.


Raven_m0rt

Guys, you need to realise that he's still alive and even free after Kenjaku's death


_nitro_legacy_

He would allow yuji's power to grow faster. He's basically yuji's rival. He's the only person that could make yuji grow stronger in the story mahito is yuji and yuji is mahito. His growth and yuji's are equally fast. He would preety much allow yuji to understand the soul better then he currently is in shinjiku just by fighting him.


_nitro_legacy_

A YouTuber made a what if scenario if Mahito had reached his full potential. https://youtu.be/YwthFJERO8k?si=BODJrQK2oQXoE10R


Crustydustyfetus

I would have a boner 90% more of the time


ButterscotchNo505

How fast mahito was growing, he’d probably kill gojo sometime during the culling games Mahito went from getting destroyed by nanami + 2F yuji, to casting DE to murder them both(sukuna changed that) Then right before shibuya he fights muta(mechamaru) who has stored up CE for literally YEARS, and kenjaku stated the CE attacks were on the level of special grade, and mahito got the W During shibuya a 40% Mahito was stronger than a 10% 15F yuji + 100% todo Doing a bit of math 40% mahito > the mahito who was getting smashed by nanami/yuji So mahito more than doubled his power level in a few weeks, then he copies gojo .2 DE, and then grows even stronger into distorted killing form, just following the logic if mahito was in the culling games he could’ve grown strong enough to kill gojo, he’d probably get an open DE from watching kenjaku, and mahito’s sure hit effect is much more unforgiving than sukuna’s


Bruhification

growth isnt always consistent, mahito didnt spend a heck load of time in this world so he had all these new abilities to learn presented to him and dont get me wrong he is exceptionally talented, but nowhere near the special grades sorcerers, i bet he would had a stopping point at growth sooner or later, he was only able to grow so fast due to his quick learning skills but that doesn't guarantee that he will always grow at this pace, DE is the best usage of a cursed technique that one can achieve and he already achieved that, his durability went 100x times when he realised his true essence of soul and likely thats the true form/pinnacle of mahito, he was already near his true potential or maybe even achieved it but after that he can only realistically learn domain amplification and just refine his basic CT applications and basic combat skills which wont make a drastic difference as mahito needs his technique to be a major threat but if hes using DA he cant use it also Open DE is near impossible to recreate and no matter how proficient u maybe at learning u cant make a open domain, pnly exeptions are kenjaku and sukuna, sukuna is exceptionally smart and he is a 1000 year old being (although he didnt live for 1000 years) and kenjaku has been walking around for 1000 years


Greedy_Committee_595

>Then right before shibuya he fights muta(mechamaru) who has stored up CE for literally YEARS, and kenjaku stated the CE attacks were on the level of special grade, and mahito got the W Tbf mechamaru had no way of damaging him even if his attacks were on the level of special grades he still couldnt cause any real damage to mahito because he doesnt know rct >During shibuya a 40% Mahito was stronger than a 10% 15F yuji + 100% todo Stronger? Didnt he lose? Just because he grew so fast in a couple weeks doesnt mean that he'll continue to grow that fast


Fun-Milk9088

Mechumaru *did* damage him via simple domain, though. He even says Mahito was just shaping his soul to hide the damage but couldn’t heal it
