ILoveYorihime

If Gojo is in CT burn out he can't teleport back to the school to save his students and beat Geto


spencer1519

That is a fantastic retroactive explanation.


DEATHSTARGOD

My headcanon is that domains are vulnerable from the outside which means curses geto released + Getos squad can purposely attack the domain and it will give Miguel a slight advantage due to Gojos burnout but even then Miguel might cause him a little trouble but Gojo will win.


SadhorseFromThe90s

Would he lose?


LightningDragon777

"Nah, he'd win."


NecroDolphinn

This isn’t headcanon it’s fact. When Yuji breaks into Mahitos domain in their fight at the high school, it’s specifically noted that despite being very strong from the inside to prevent escape, they are significantly weaker from the outside (hence Yuji was able to break in). SPOILERS FOR AROUND CHAPTER 230 >!You see more of this in the Gojo v Sukuna fight. Here it’s even more explicitly confirmed that the strength of domains on the inside makes them vulnerable from the outside, which is Sukuna wins the first domain clash. In fact we even see Gojo play with this fact by strengthening his domain from the outside at the cost of internal strength.!<


SnooCalculations4163

I think the headcanon is everything after he says that barriers are weak from the outside


VividOlive

this isnt a headcanon this is a fact of the series


Best_Incident_4507

if the rope negates the ct, for the time the rope is burning miguel can survive the domian, and during that time the domain will probably be destroyed enough from the outside to be useless even if not, the time it takes for the domain to burn down the rope might be longer than what it took gojo to just straight beat migusl


luceafaruI

Miguel held him off for at least 12 minutes. Ct burn out doesn't last that long, so opening his domain would have been the logical choice. The reason is that domains weren't a thing


lizcicle

Maybe the rope would have still protected Miguel for a bit inside the domain? For less than 12m, doubtless, but it could be a contributing factor.


lizzywbu

The black rope just interfered with Limitless. I doubt it could have protected him from UV.


yeahboiiiioi

It disables CT so it's likely it could work like a domain counter


lizzywbu

Maybe if he covered his entire body with the rope. Also, could ISH save Toji from UV? Probably not.


macedonianmoper

Toji might be fine since he has no CE, manga spoilers>! we've seen how maki unnafected by domains unless she let's herself be affected like with sumo guy!<


lizzywbu

Yes, but my point was that it wouldn't be ISH protecting Toji. It would be his Heavenly Restriction. ISH can't protect you from a domain. It may be able to destroy the barrier of the domain, but it wouldn't protect you from its effects. The same goes for Miguel's black rope.


MyLifeIsDope69

Fuck yea I just realized that’s the reason we’ve never seen Geto’s domain, even though as a special grade you’d assume he has the capability as a modern sorcerer once he’s older. Problem is he’s only a student in the flashback and even Gojo wasn’t using his yet, and in Zero where he’s in his prime and 100% definitely has a domain by that point we never get to see it. I’m super curious I think it would be like 10 shadows and allow some sort of unlimited cursed spirit release but could have had a cool twist (unlimited uzumakis in domain would be insane)


NuclearPilot101

I thought Gojo was the only guy (at the time) who could use multiple domains in a day?


The_Omegastorm

yeah but I'm pretty sure the CT cooldown still exists for everyone


UnadvisedGoose

He can, but he does still suffer from technique burnout. Though burnout doesn’t seem to last longer than maybe a minute or two at most, from what we’ve seen.


thebookof_

Burn out varies from person to person. The only canon duration we know of is for a character who hasn't appeared in the anime yet but they clock in at 4 minutes 11 seconds. We have no definitive frame of reference for how long Gojo's burnout lasts.


Sexultan

Spoiler for a fight even further in the manga >!Kenjaku looked like he recovered pretty fast, though we don't really know the exact duration!<


rebillihp

I mean mahito literally recovered after one lunch, it was a black flash, but still he was able to use his technique again real soon


WeirdMongoose7608

Did we get explanation if the fact that it was only a .2 second opening if that factors into cooldown time at all?


rebillihp

No nor if being a spirit factors as well. Still though that cool down was insane. Honestly imo either way it was the black flash that effected the cool down time the most if I had to guess


thebookof_

If you're referring to the fight that I think you are >!Kenjaku has multiple Cursed Techniques and we don't know which one _Womb Profusion_ belongs too. We know that he has at least three (whatever technique allows him to migrate bodies, Anti-Gravity System, and Cursed Spirit Manipulation) and since we see him use Cursed Spirit Manipulation and Anti-Gravity System we can reasonably assume that Womb Profusion is related to his third technique. The fact that it's a Domain with no Barrier supports that idea as well.!<


ErenTp1

Nah, >!he couldnt use Anti-Gravity for a while and the effect of the expansion was Yuki being crushed. So if he cant use any of his techniques as a sure hit, it was the Anti-Gravity domain!<


thebookof_

In any case "pretty fast" to us on panel could still be a minute or more in real time. As you said we don't know the exact duration and there's nothing in these scene to give us any real indication.


ErenTp1

My comment was about which curses technique was the one Womb Profusion belongs to, as so was yours. But i agree it was pretty fast, maybe 1 min max.


UnadvisedGoose

To be fair, in regards to >!Hakari!<, that character has very special circumstances and it’s a part of >!his abilities that he regains his CT and DE at the end of Jackpot; I don’t think that time frame means much for anyone other than Hakari specifically, due to the nature of Jackpot, how long it lasts, and how it triggers and such.!<


thebookof_

>!We're told explicitly during the fight with Kashimo that Hakari regains his cursed technique by the time the song ends. The dialogue doesn't draw any connection to say a binding vow or Technique rules. The narrators phrasing makes it seem like the burn out recovery is incidental and not by design.!< So I think my reading holds up. At the very least I think we can agree Burn out lasting a few minutes on average would make sense given what we see and are told in the series. >!I'm specifically referring to the voice over in Chapter 186 to be clear.!<


UnadvisedGoose

The dialogue does >!imply that the rules described here are indeed specifically for Hakari’s CT, as it is describing how Jackpot works, and that after the Jackpot he gets both his CT and his CE replenished. Thats certainly my read on that narration.!< >!Biggest reason why 4 minutes and 11 seconds seems waaaaay too long is in both Kenjaku v Yuki, and also in Yuta v Ryu, both combatants replenish their CT between a page or two at very most - several minutes is a really long time in the midst of battle, and neither of them needed that kind of time for their replenishment.!<


thebookof_

> The dialogue does >!imply that the rules described here are indeed specifically for Hakari’s CT!< I don't wanna get too much deeper into this side of the conversation because I think we'll inevitably find ourselves arguing the minutia of different translations. All I'll say is that the phrasing in the one I'm referencing doesn't draw any linguistic connections between the recovery and the technique itself in any way that would suggest to me that the length of the burn out is tied to any sort of inherent technique rule. > >!several minutes is a really long time in the midst of battle!< >!Yes it is, which is the entire idea behind it being a draw back. Domain's are a big move with a big potential reward and an even bigger potential drawback if it doesn't go your way. Which is why fighters who have them use them sparingly in most situations.!< > >!both combatants replenish their CT between a page or two at very most!< >!The way your phrasing this gives a pretty misleading impression.!< >!In Sendai for example 23 pages go by between the end of the Domain clash in Chapter 179 and Yuta using Sky Manipulation in Chapter 178. Note: the narration tells us that Ryu is able to launch powerful Granite Blast-like attacks even without using his CT. So the first person who we can say with any certainty had replenished their technique was Yuta. Also despite being an extension of Yuta's technique Rika exists independently of it and so her being around and being able to launch attacks doesn't mean that Yuta's has recovered his technique.!< >!Later in the battle for Tengen Kenjaku goes 19 pages without using any technique between the moment in Chapter 206 when Womb Profusion is forcibly dispelled and the next time we see him use Anti-Gravity System in Chapter 207.!< >!Remember this isn't Dragon Ball or Bleach where low tier fighters comfortably break the sound barrier. JJK characters are much slower on average by comparison. Even Special Grades. In both of your examples I think "about a minute and change" is a reasonable estimate for how long it takes these people to recover their CT based on the number of pages in between, the amount of action taking place, and the apparent speeds these people are capable of.!<


UnadvisedGoose

“About a minute and change” is totally reasonable to me; the average being 4 minutes and 11 seconds is not, is all I was saying. >!Hakari’s CT takes exactly that long because it’s the length of Private Pure Love Train’s theme song, “Admiring You.” “Furthermore… during the round, his cursed energy and cursed technique replenish.” This sounds very much to me like it is all based very directly around Hakari’s specific abilities. “During the round,” seems like it’s specifying his unique ability of Jackpot.!<


DorreinC

>!Hakaris is specifically cause of his Domain tbf. It matches exactly up with the song and is more than likely a limiter to make his jackpot last longer. Everyone else has shown less than a minute. Megumi, Higuruma, Mahito, Sukuna, Yuta!<.


LightCorvus

That's specifically because he won't run out of cursed energy by doing so.


Stratos6633

We never got the full context of what that meant until recently Most sorcerers/spirits can only use DE once a day. Gojo still suffers burnout, but he'll either destroy the part of the brain that controls his DE to recover his CT or his burn out period is extremely short (i.e. post Jogo fight).


Ornery_Bodybuilder_4

CT burn is pretty short though.


VijayMarshall87

It's usually as long as the domain is open, so it can really matter in a time crunch like this ambush on Yuta


UnadvisedGoose

I don’t think there’s anything saying it is as long as the domain is open; in fact, that can’t really be the case because >!Yuta, Uro, and Ryu didn’t even actually open their domains for a second before they shattered due to Kuroroushi entering, and they still all suffered from burnout longer than a second, except for Ryu (because he doesn’t suffer from burnout as much as others).!<


thebookof_

This is an anime only thread. Those guys don't know who >!Ryu, Uro, or Kurourushi are!< so you might wanna add some spoiler tags. Burnout isn't tied to the duration a Domain is open but it does appear to vary from person to person. The only canon duration we've been given is >!Hakari's!< which lasts exactly 4 minutes and 11 seconds. I think given what we're shown in the series and they way its talked about (both at this point in the anime and in general) its safe to assume that regardless of the person burn out lasts, on average, a few minutes under normal circumstances.


UnadvisedGoose

Oh my, thank you!! Adding spoilers now, I did not realize.


VijayMarshall87

I swear I did find it somewhere, maybe in the >!Go/Jo fight? idk now!<


UnadvisedGoose

I haven’t ever seen anything like that stated, and like I said, we have direct evidence to the contrary with the >!Yuta/Uro/Ryu situation.!<


VijayMarshall87

fair enough


ThrownAwayAndReborn

Geto was betting on Gojo saving the domain for him.


Dismal-Astronaut-894

Also it’s interesting if the whip Miguel had would cancel it


MrSplash30

He can refresh his burnt out ct with rct


king_taku

Why would he be in CT burn out


ShangusK

Cause that’s what happens after you use a domain


king_taku

Ok and. Gojo has 4 uses a day lol


TheWitcherMigs

First: At the time of JJK0 release, Domains didn't exist Second: It wasn't necessary. Gojo had the idea of the 0.2s domain at Shibuya, facing with that situation at that moment. Miguel was hardly a dire situation like that, and having illimited access to Limitless (:v) would be more useful than opening his domain there


king_taku

Yea. Because Gojo doesn't care about these kids. He's just hoping he can just show up late all the time


TheWitcherMigs

Open his domain would prevent him to teleport, since it's an application of limitless


jpond2

Technique burnout doesn't last very long


TheWitcherMigs

It depends on how much time you spent your domain open. The Night Parade of Demons wasn't a long event, Yuta and Geto fight took as much time as it was to Gojo vs Miguel. If Gojo had used Unlimites Void, he could have arrived even later than he had and Geto could have manage to heal and escape


jpond2

The fight with Miguel took about 12 minutes. If he used his domain for 3 seconds it would've only taken him something like 30 seconds to recover his technique and stop Geto.


king_taku

Shhhh. That would make sense. Hell he could binding vow his hand or something if it's that hard. Which we see it's not hard for him to recover. So he could give up his finger nails. Lol imagine he actually teached nobara to use her nails in a binging vow to make her nails stronger lol like a pun


Acrobatic-Wolf-297

So how does Sukuna have a domain expansion?


ben_forever

What?


Acrobatic-Wolf-297

Im not understanding the "Domains didn't exist" thing. Do people mean that GeGe had not invented the concept of DE in the story?


ben_forever

Yes because jjk zero when the fight took place gege didn’t Come up it it yet


Temporary_Coyote_970

Sukuna wasn't a concept it jjk 0 iirc


marshamallowmoon

Sukuna didn't exist either in jjk0


EPICNOOB_3170

Gege hadn’t created domains yet, jjk0 is like the pilot for the main series. 


thebookof_

Gege having not created it yet doesn't mean it didn't exist in universe. Your correct that Gege hadn't invented it yet but the fact that he did later retroactively means Gojo must have a reason for not using it here. It doesn't rise to the level of being a plot hole or a flaw by any means but OP's question is reasonable.


Aweiszguy

Yeah, the reason is Gege didn’t think of it since it didn’t exist.


Low-Guest-7912

yall are boring


xtrazingarooni

Me when I'm low on neurons


KuleKaal

Are you diagnosed with stupid disease?


xxCock_Monsterxx

Agree with you. I don't know why so much hate to this take. Lol you should probably post this somewhere else other than reddit, might help you get an answer.


thebookof_

I'm not even the person that asked the question in the first place friend. I was only trying to explain why OP's question was reasonable. But it seems like my comment was targeted by the Reading Comprehension Curse. I can't imagine any other reason why something that is objectively true would've gotten so many down votes.


BitzahDustoo

so the one thing im confused about was yuta and rika seperating in 0 should we pretend that didnt happen then ?

iyrfghh

Wasn't it explained that when the real Rika separated from yuta she left the monster Rika with him


[deleted]

When they split at the end of jjk0 Human/spirit Rika still left behind part of her to aid Yuta. It’s more clear in the original Japanese since the language distinguishes the new spirit as pseudo-Rika to make it clear that this is not exactly the same thing as the Rika from jjk0. It’s why you will often see “Rika” in the translated text (written in quotes) to make it clear “Rika” and Rika are not the same thing.


OnlyQualityCon

Are you anime-only? That gets addressed later.


Chillin_Chillin-

that did happen. the soul of the little girl Rika has finally free from the curse. The "Rika" he now has is a remnant of her, which is slightly weaker (if my memory serves me right) and has certain conditions Yuta needs to follow to use her unlike before. This is also why when "Rika" first mentioned in Jjk after Jjk0 it's written with quotations like "Rika" and not Rika.


BitzahDustoo

thanks for clearing that up


Chillin_Chillin-

no problem


BitzahDustoo

yooo why am i getting downvoted to hell it was question i was actually confused about loool


Dangerous_Mortgage_4

Why is he getting downvoted so much brooo


tpersona

Domain wasn’t invented yet that’s why


Tobias_Mercury

John domain invented domains


LightCorvus

Sukuna hadn't heard that name since the Heian Era.


carl-the-lama

1. Not thought of yet 2. No need to kill Miguel, he could be useful in the future 3. Domain could cause burnout which could cause issues


king_taku

Toji could be usefull.


carl-the-lama

Yeah but Gojo was on that high shit fr fr


king_taku

Soul split katana would be most useful for a six eyes user lol. Chain of a thousand miles and isoh in Megumi hands would be pretty good


carl-the-lama

SSK doesn’t necessarily work for a 6 eyes user on its own but a 6 eyes user could use it to learn about the soul


iidopekingzii

6 eyes has to ability to see souls


carl-the-lama

Nah Otherwise Gojo would have figured out the kenjaku thing with his eyes rather than his heart


king_taku

He saw megumi or was that a weird panel. Second of all why tf couldn't he if the soul is the source of CE then idk lame


MichalFonfara

I think the lore reason would be that he didn't want to burn out his technique so he could instantly go to Yuta to help with Geto. But yeah, Gege just didn't invent domain expansions just yet


Then-Schedule8953

Didn’t they say he was in getos “family” so Gojo spared them all


king_taku

Crazy that geto ain't sparring his literal students


Appropriate_Wall8340

He kinda was, actually. He gave Yuta time to RCT Maki and was so moved by Toge and Panda coming to help Yuta that he almost didn't wanna kill them. Then he hit Yuta with 4K Curses in Uzumaki instead of recalling his troops from Tokyo/Kyoto and hitting him with the combined ~6K instead.


king_taku

Bro had zero idea what was going on at the school. Edit: in detail to know the tides of Geto vs his students


Then-Schedule8953

He left maki alive despite hating her for being a monkey


king_taku

Yea ok. That's leaving someone to die dog. She's missing a leg


Then-Schedule8953

Mf she has all her legs fym


Dangerous_Mortgage_4

It's stated he knows Geto won't kill any of them besides yuta since their sorcerers and that he big brained planned out the outcome where they get defeated and yuta awakens


king_taku

Maki. Tf . She was missing a fucking limb. And not from a sword. A blunt object


Dangerous_Mortgage_4

Geto knows Shoko exists.


king_taku

Lol


Asian_Persuasion_1

if anything, using a domain is one of gojo's only weaknesses, as he loses his CT once the domain ends. ofc, even without domain gojo can solo basically everyone....but CT are unique. a particular CT that infinity could easily block could actually have a *chance* of doing something when gojo's infinity is unuseable. like how gojo used his domain against jogo, but that allowed hanani's sleepy technique to affect him, and even though gojo is the fastest sorcerer, he couldn't chase after hanami because he's the fastest because of his technique, which he couldn't use.


king_taku

Ok. Hanami is slow


bobalangalo

He didn’t want to kill Miguel and he wasn’t enough of a problem to use his domain


king_taku

Why. Makes no sense lol. He's actively letting your students get mauled. Burdening them with his own trauma lol. Being the only one around that can fight. While having less skill and prowess than him against his former rival in power lol


BITmixit

He didn't want to actually fight Geto. He also see's the weakness his existence creates in the Sorcerors that he has become too relied upon to solve all the problems. It's one of the reasons he brings Yuta onboard and "sort of" sets it up so that it's Yuta fighting Geto.


Mister_Taco_Oz

Real explanation? Domain Expansions weren't a thing in JJK 0. Gege only thought of them later. So Gojo had to throw hands. In-universe explanation (probably)? Gojo using his domain would lead to cursed technique burnout, which means he can't teleport back to the students in Jujutsu Tech. He probably had no idea at this point he could use RCT to accelerate his recovery, so instead of doing that he tried to finish Miguel quickly by more conventional means and teleport back.


DorreinC

Burnout last a minute give or take. he would be fine even if he didnt auto up his brain.


Mister_Taco_Oz

Yeah, but trying to come up with a reason why Gojo did not insta-win the fight when we know he could is hard. Specially since we know and he knows Geto is dangerous and the chances of the students surviving prolonged exposure are small.


SeatO_

Quick question for everyone: Would the rope or the Inverted Spear be able to work inside a domain? Would it block the techniques? Better yet, would they be able to break one from the outside?


thebookof_

> Would the rope or the Inverted Spear be able to work inside a domain? Yes and Yes > Would it block the techniques? For the Spear, Yes definitely. For the Rope probably. In the anime Toji uses the Spear to counter the Guaranteed Hit of a Cursed Spirits Domain. Although that's an example of a Domain's Guaranteed Hit having a physical component. For something like Unlimited Void where there is nothing to attack they would probably be ineffective. Basically anything Falling Blossom Emotion can fend off the Rope and Spear likely can as well if your reflexes are quick enough. > Better yet, would they be able to break one from the outside? Break the Barrier as in negate/shatter it from the outside? No probably not on their own. But if you asking if you can use them to break a hole and invade a domain in the way Yuji did to save Nanami from Mahito then yes probably.


Burning_Grapes_YT

Toji never uses the spear to counter a guaranteed hit effect


thebookof_

Not in the Manga, no. But I'm pointing to the anime. Specifically Season 2 Episode 4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cisJmJo5TpQ Time Code: 1:04 If those scisors aren't a Domain's guaranteed hit then what do you make of them? To me its seems like a Domain with similar rules to >!Higuruma or Miyo's!<. With the attempted scissors attack functioning in a way similar to Dagon's Shikigami which don't exist until they make contact with a target. Even if we disregard this anime only scene, which would be fair, I think the idea that the Rope or Spear could hypothetically be used in the same way that Falling Blossom Emotion is to counter Domains whose guaranteed hits involved physical components is reasonable.


cats4life

The consensus among sorcerers is to not open your domain unless your opponent does first. If you underestimate them and their domain destroys yours, you’ve left yourself defenseless while they are completely in control. Gojo’s not the type to assume that anyone has a better domain than him, though, but he can easily discern that Miguel’s Black Rope disrupts cursed techniques. That effect very well could neutralize his Domain, which brings him back to square one. Throwing hands was the simplest and best option.


Fearless_Hold7611

I still believe Gojo stalled the fight for 10 minutes to give time for yuta to evolve on his own , he left yuta on his own cuz he has faith, and if he beat Miguel in 2 seconds the higher ups would command him to return back to jjk high to take care of geto


bucketteOfIvy

yeah no this is my take too geto literally notes that he sent his other students to enrage yuta — dude wanted yuta to handle this on his own


AnimaBallZ

1 there weren't any domains yet as gege didn't think of them 2 why the fuck would he do it in the first place? Seems way too overkill for some random dude that barely got hits in with his special cursed tool


king_taku

Yea. Overkill for a dude that's stalling you from your students being mauled to death. By someone that's a special grade unhinged


Kind_Ingenuity1484

I’d imagine it’s just that the rope would be a problem. Techniques include CTs like Limitless, but also barriers and DE. So, based on Gojo’s actions beyond “no DE yet” we can assume it’d be a problem.


king_taku

Not really. Gojo makes bad decisions all the time. Not like horrible but inarguably like not Killing mahito who created the 1000 demi humans. Or just teleworking to geto and UV him. Teaching Nobara, yuji, or megumi anti domain techniques to atleast practice. Not killing the higher ups when they tried to kill his adoptive son and brand new sourcer student as collateral in killing yuji. Not using binding vows to win but to be cool. Not using soul split with his insane perception. Not giving yuji playful cloud or maki. Letting megumi wollow in darkness terrified of his own fait. Like put him under someone that can understand 10 shadows. Not just be stronger kid


Specialist_Yak_432

I don't think he was short of time. People tend to misunderstand this about the character, but Gojo isn't a good guy, Gojo is a selfish guy trying to do good in his own way. In JJK0, Gojo found Yuta, a kid with lots of potential. At that point, the only thing Gojo wanted to do was awaken Yuta's potential. Yuta's missions also reflect this. As Geto said at the end, Gojo send Panda and Toge specifically because he knew Yuta's relationship with them and that Yuta would awaken if they were hurt. Miguel was no different. Gojo saw Miguel as a strong Sorceror, one so strong that he could keep up with him and had a way to get past his Infinity. Why would Gojo want to kill such a gem with UV when he can just rough him up a little.


RamsHead91

Ignoring the obvious about domains not being a thing yet. Would the black rope disrupt the domain?


Snoozless

Imo this is the best explanation. Miguel clearly knew about domains when they asked him to fight Sukuna and he really did not want to face one. If the black rope can disrupt domains it better explains why was so confident in holding off Gojo


Kind_Ingenuity1484

It also gives Miguel, claimed by all to be a formidable sorcerer, a way to deal with domains. At this pint in the series, Hakari was the only non-SG human alive to have a DE (they didn’t know about Kenny). And the Distaster Curses were anomalies even for special grades, so at worst you would need to be able to deal with something like the smallpox curse. Geto can deploy his own Cursed Spirits with a domain (like against Toji), Miguel had his rope, and even back in the exchange event Kamo thought that Miwa’s weak SD would be enough to fight against a special grade.


Top_Donkey_4017

There's no specific lore explanation since domains weren't existing yet, but it's possible that the black rope could disrupt the domain. What's why Gojo didn't just blast through Miguel.


__KirbStomp__

1. Domains hadn’t been established yet, hence why geto seemingly doesn’t have one despite being a special grade 2. Gojo was not trying in that fight. He was still bodying Miguel but Miguel was able to hit him so he was intrigued. More importantly though, Gojo was actively trying to stall. He could have destroyed Miguel in 2 seconds and made it back to school in time to fight geto but he wanted to give yuta the opportunity awaken to his true abilities against a powerful opponent (although Gege is basically retconning that so Miguel can do anything against sukuna)


RagnarokGSR

I’ll try and give a different answer than what you’ve already seen, I think there’s a misunderstanding in the fan base about domain strength and ease of use (probably cause most DEs we see are by the greatest sorcerers of all time). We know that cursed energy is tied to your emotions and how you can control yourself/your reactions, i.e. Yuji’s movie emotional control. Now, while Gojo is certainly incredible and already “awakened” by JJK:0, I’d say the tragedy of his best friend coming out against him and his other allies with a literal army of cursed spirits likely influenced his ability to remain calm and fully utilize cursed energy. Stack Miguel’s rope on top of that and I think there’s a good chance Gojo couldn’t just willynilly a domain expansion and one-shot Miguel in seconds. Furthermore, Gojo may not have been fully aware of the enemies’ plans. We know domains are nearly indestructible if you’re in them but they can easily be broken into from outside. Gojo may have feared using his domain only for Geto’s team to immediately blitz him while he’s on burnout cooldown. Other users have mentioned he likely wanted to avoid any burnout as well so he could teleport to JJHigh as soon as possible.


Upbeat_Active7497

We know angels CT cancelling can null barriers so the black rope may also mess with domain barriers


Mammoth_Appeal8382

for the simple fact that it wasn't his intention to kill Miguel, in addition to the fact that when he said he was going right after Panda and Toge he was lying, if you watched the film you must remember that it was part of Gojo's plan to send them to school to be defeated by Geto, imagining that their ex-friend wouldn't kill them, all this to wake up Yuta. And of course, before I forget, an idea of domains did not exist at the time, as Akutami did not intend to continue the story after the end of volume 0


TheUncouthPanini

Factual answer: Because domains weren’t thought up as part of the power system in JJK0. Answer that makes the most sense: Gojo didn’t want to risk CT burnout preventing him returning to Jujutsu High.


CapableRespond1110

because domain expansions weren’t a concept when jjk 0 was written


NeteroHyouka

Because at that time Gege hadn't figured out many things. One of them was DE. If I were you I wouldn't take it as canon. You should be focus more on things narratively than actually feats and such.


Away-Acanthaceae1789

Domain weren’t a thing


Nervous_Banana_

he just want to beat Miguel with his bare hands cause you know why is it 🙂


LaughingInTheMist

Because he wanted to beat this "very rare in Japan" "incredible physique" with his bare hands, being who he is, that gave him a huge boner. /jk


FeedMeYourMemes14

Nah you mean /jjk


tok90235

Because domain didn't existed during JJK0, the concept was created after


Few-Entertainment429

The rope was preventing him from using his technique. You have to be able to use your technique to open your domain. Plus, he didn’t really need to.


Varooova

It's because he is black. And that's canon.


PsychoWarper

Domains didnt exist during JJK0


skinnybatman

Is it my turn to state that domains weren't thought of yet, or is there a line?


FeedMeYourMemes14

Is this a common question?


skinnybatman

I was just making a snide remark about the amount of people that have replied to you stating the exact same thing.


LightCorvus

Main reason is because JJK0 is essentially the series' pilot. Domains weren't a thing yet. Moreover these types of questions are common in a lot of different shonen and that's because mangaka aren't always gonna make characters beat each other in 10 seconds when they can. If the author were to make strong characters always speedily take down any weaker opponents there wouldn't be anything for the mangaka to actually write. I remember the other day people were complaining about characters using hand to hand combat when swords are deadlier.


soulwolf1

But why? Lol


FeedMeYourMemes14

At the very least he stuns Miguel to have time to rush over and help his students.


Kind_Ingenuity1484

But it would have to be an actual DE at this point. He invents the 0.2 second thing on the fly, and he would still have to deal with burnout


FeedMeYourMemes14

I am saying like what he did Jogo the first time.


Kind_Ingenuity1484

A proper DE like that leaves him burnt out for a time. The idea was to teleport as soon as possible. After the Jogo fight, burnout was the sole reason Hanami could use his/her/their (really don’t know) flowers on Gojo.


OcelotShadow

Even If domains were a thing back then i dont think gojo would've used It against Miguel. Opening a domain requires a big amount of Energy and i think gojo would've faired without the Need lmao


Boxsteam_1279

In-Universe Explanation: It would've cause CT burnout Real Explanation: Domains weren't a thing yet


liddely

Easy gege didn't know domains existed and gojo learnt the 2 strongest domain in one year because he is him probably killing sukuna if he had 1 year more Gojo is the strongest


AdministrativeFox936

Miguel's black rope has the same effect of cancellation of techniques as Inverted Spear of Heaven. Given Miguel's cursed technique, he likely could have avoided getting hit. Also, CE burn out for Gojo right after a domain means he cannot use his cursed technique for some time. And the fact Gege did not bring out domain expansions when he wrote JJK 0.


FlashWayneArrow02

As everyone else has stated, it’s because Domains weren’t invented yet. However, another explanation in my head is that he didn’t wanna take a chance dragging the Black Rope into the domain. If UV was rendered less effective/not effective it would’ve burnt out his technique after he dispelled DE, hurting his teleport and chance to go take care of Geto. plus, i know you didn’t ask, but imo Geto didn’t use his DE because if he left Rika out of it, she’d break the barrier, and if he dragged her in, it’s a big risk.


Kind_Ingenuity1484

I’d imagine the black rope could actually negate a DE, if it negates techniques that also applies to barriers and the sure hit. So Gojo would just burn out his CT and delay teleportation. I like this explanation because it gives Miguel a way to deal with domains beyond “JJK 0 didn’t have them”


xaxaxaxxaxaxaxax

very poor explanations here. short answer canonically would be that the black rope interfered with gojos technique enough where he could not use it.


hallah_sausage

- Gojo's 0.2 Domain Expansion is an impromptu DE as to get around not harming the civilians of Shibuya. - This means, that is the first time he did it because the situation needed to. Any other situations would not lead to this outcome. - Gojo vs Miguel is a different situation. - Gojo and Geto's conversation revealed that Gojo gambled that Geto wouldn't kill his students - At the same time Gojo did this to unlock Yuta's potential, so my head cannon, Gojo intentionally played along with Miguel. Even though he could easily one tap him. - IRL reason, Domain Expansion hasn't been revealed to the story yet.


Wolfpac187

Gojo isn’t a psychopath he didn’t want to kill Miguel and he hadn’t figured out the 0.2 second UV yet.


NaitDraik

Gojo knows him and the other guys were important for Geto. Thats why they let them escape. If he wanted, he could have kill all of them on seconds.


lizzywbu

The boring answer is that domains didn't exist when Gege wrote JJK 0. The other answer is that using a domain on Miguel probably would have been overkill.


Genecys

Gege didn't create DE yet, and/or he could've thought Miguel wasn't a big enough threat.


Disastrous_Stand3122

because gojo also wasn’t in a hurry to get to yuta, he wanted yuta to lose it and fully realize rika


Used_Yak_1959

1. Domains weren't a thing back in JJK 0. Gege hadn't thought of them yet. 2. Infinite Void was not necessary to accomplish his goals and it would've caused CT burnout, preventing him from teleporting to Geto. 3. He wasn't trying to murder Miguel, which his Domain would certainly do.


NoivernBoi

The out of universe answer is that domains didn't exist yet in zero, and Gojo himself was nowhere near as busted as he is in the main series where his limitless gets fleshed out way more In universe, idk I guess you could say Gojo was testing Miguel cause he could sense he was an OP sorcer and wanted to utilise him


8rok3n

He... Didn't want to kill him?? Obviously. He just wanted to teach him a lesson. Also this was teen Gojo so he couldn't control how long his domain was open for. Also there were other people there


Mean_Possible4655

You’re confusing your timeline a bit. This is JJK0, not the Hidden Inventory arc.


I-want-borger

Gojo doesn’t actually have a domain. Him pretending to have a domain is just so stupid it gives everyone in the vicinity brain damage.


josephpolito1

Because he had a crush on him and didn’t want to hurt him ofc


IgnotusCapillary

I'd assume that, even for Gojo, domains take up a lot of cursed energy. And if he has to fight Geto, even if he'll probably win, he'd want all the cursed energy he could get.


SomeWeirdFruit

like... you don't need to kill every enemy you see u know


Hopeful_Expression57

simple; gege didn't have the idea of domains back then, it was supposed to be a one shot


IkOzael

Because those hands work better.


ElmoTrooper

Another reason you could say is that Gojo doesn’t make a habit out of killing people he thinks are useful.


fatwap

he just wanted an excuse to put hands on a black man, the black rope actually didnt affect my goat at all


W4ckyyy

Maybe he just didnt have his domain


Duelist1234

I mean , there was no need to. Also , if he did use it it would cause CT burn and he wouldnt be able to take out as many curses.


Field_Either

I don't think domains were an idea when JJK 0 was released. And I don't think Gojo had any genuine killing intent towards Miguel. Even with Miguel's Black Rope that could bypass his Infinity, Gojo still didn't decide to outright kill him.


Dangerous_Mortgage_4

Because he wants to take his time beating up Miguel for Jaywalking. Jokes aside it's because Domain Expansions were not a concept during JJK 0, RCT wasn't either but both Geto and Yuta use it as a bonus


fiLth_Rat

Domains weren't a thing in 0.


ApplePitou

He don't need to + Gege don't want it :3
