The Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga has always been a big deal in the Jujutsu Kaisen world. But the ongoing battle in the sequel manga, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, is making fans realize they might have underestimated this shikigami’s true power all along. With the massive fight between Mahoraga and the new alien villain Dabura heating up, the internet is buzzing with a new understanding of just what makes this creature so special.
In the original series, fans saw Mahoraga take on both Ryomen Sukuna and Satoru Gojo. But because those two are at the absolute peak of power, it was easy to see Mahoraga as just a stepping stone for them. Now, in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, Mahoraga is front and center, and its unique ability is causing major problems for a villain who was supposed to be on Sukuna’s level.
Mahoraga’s Secret Weapon: The Power to Adapt
To understand why fans are rethinking Mahoraga’s strength, you have to look at its core ability. Mahoraga is not just strong or tough. Its true power lies in a technique that allows it to adapt to any and all phenomena .
When the wheel on its head spins, Mahoraga analyzes any attack that hits it. Once the adaptation is complete, that attack stops working. Not only does Mahoraga become immune, but it also learns how to counter it . This means that in a long fight, Mahoraga only gets stronger. The longer a battle drags on, the more hopeless it becomes for the opponent because their best moves will eventually become useless.
This is what makes Mahoraga such a nightmare. No Zenin clan sorcerer had ever been able to tame it, and Megumi Fushiguro himself only saw it as a last-resort suicide move . It was designed to be uncontrollable, a force of nature that punishes anyone arrogant enough to summon it.
The Fight That Changes Everything: Mahoraga vs. Dabura
In Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, Yuka Okkotsu summons Mahoraga in a desperate move against Dabura, an alien being with a cursed technique that operates at the speed of light . Dabura is described as a Sukuna-level threat, so fans expected him to handle Mahoraga with some difficulty, but handle him nonetheless .
However, the fight is proving to be much more complicated. When Mahoraga first appeared, Dabura tried to end things immediately with a massive attack. He failed. Mahoraga took the hit and the wheel on its head began to turn .
What is shocking fans is how quickly Mahoraga starts to figure Dabura out. Dabura, who has never had to try his hardest in a fight before, is now facing an enemy that refuses to stay down . His light-based attacks, which should be overwhelming, are becoming less effective as Mahoraga adapts in real time .
In Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo Chapter 18, Dabura realizes he cannot win with raw power alone. He has to completely change his mindset and start fighting for real, something he has never done before . This moment is key. A villain who stands alongside Sukuna in terms of threat level is being forced to evolve just to survive a creature that fans originally saw as just a powerful tool.
Why Fans Misjudged Mahoraga’s Power Level
For a long time, the fandom measured Mahoraga by its fight with Sukuna during the Shibuya Incident. Sukuna toyed with Mahoraga, let it adapt a few times, and then destroyed it with a single attack . This led many to believe that while Mahoraga was strong, the top-tier characters could handle it.
But that way of thinking misses the point of what Sukuna actually did. He did not just overpower Mahoraga; he studied it, understood its ability, and then used a specific strategy to bypass its adaptation. He used a variety of attacks to prevent the wheel from completing a full rotation before finishing it with the Divine Flame . Sukuna won because he is a genius fighter, not just because he was stronger.
Now, with Dabura struggling, fans are seeing that Sukuna’s victory was not normal. As Modulo explains, defeating Mahoraga requires either overwhelming, instant destruction or a varied attack pattern that never lets it adapt . Dabura, for all his power, is finding this incredibly difficult.

What This Means for the Power Scale
The Mahoraga vs. Dabura fight is resetting how fans view power in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe. Mahoraga is acting as the ultimate benchmark. If you can decisively beat Mahoraga, you are in a league of your own . If you struggle, it proves that raw power alone is not enough.
This fight also highlights a major point about the Ten Shadows Technique. Yuka Okkotsu has not tamed Mahoraga. She simply summoned it as part of the ritual, hoping it would take down Dabura before it could turn on her . This is the same risky strategy Megumi Fushiguro used, which often ended in disaster . It proves that simply accessing Mahoraga is not the same as controlling it, which makes Sukuna’s feat of taming it even more impressive.
The community is now looking back at Megumi’s potential. If he had been able to master Mahoraga the way Sukuna did, he could have been one of the strongest characters ever. Instead, his inability to control it ultimately led to disaster . Yuka, despite being on her last legs due to illness, is using the shikigami more strategically than Megumi ever did, but she still cannot command it .
As the battle continues in the manga, available on Manga Plus and Viz Media, one thing is clear. Mahoraga is not just a strong shikigami. It is a measuring stick for true power in the Jujutsu Kaisen world. Anyone who can stand against it and win has earned their place at the top.
