Understanding The Reverse Cursed Technique

Reverse Cursed Technique is a special ability that turns negative energy into positive energy. It works by combining two sources of Cursed Energy, and when they are multiplied together, the energy that used to harm now becomes energy that can heal and create.

Using this technique is very hard for most Jujutsu users because it's quite complex. The main use of this positive energy is for healing. Normally, Cursed Energy, which comes from negative emotions, is not suitable for healing living things. However, Cursed Spirits, which are made of Cursed Energy, can heal themselves without needing the Reverse Cursed Technique.

Jujutsu Sorcerers mainly use Reverse Cursed Energy to generate new flesh and heal human bodies. But even then, using the technique to heal wounds might sometimes leave a scar. Not many Sorcerers can perform the Reverse Cursed Technique, and even fewer can use it to heal others besides themselves.

Cursed Spirits are weak against Reverse Cursed Energy because the positive energy can disrupt their Cursed Energy-based bodies. When this positive energy is directed at a Cursed Spirit, it can cause them to disintegrate.

The Reverse Cursed Technique can also be used to recharge one's Cursed Technique after using Domain Expansion. However, it's not possible to heal the body and recharge the Cursed Technique at the same time.

How Did Gojo Survive Toji's Attack In Jujutsu Kaisen?

No, Gojo does not die from Toji Fushiguro's attack. When Toji delivers a deadly blow, Gojo uses the Reverse Cursed Technique to save himself. By channeling all his energy into this technique, Gojo's body begins to heal, but the process is slow.

Gojo had not been able to use this feat before and Toji's attack was a new motivation for him to use this Technique for the first time. Not many Sorcerers are able to use the Reverse Cursed Technique and Gojo's ability to use it in the heat of the moment is more than ordinary.

How To Destroy A Reverse Cursed Technique User?

Cursed Energy normally comes from the stomach, but Reverse Cursed Energy is controlled by the user's brain. To counter someone using the reverse Cursed technique, an effective method is to quickly attack and destroy their head before they have a chance to recover.

Another possible counter is to use poison against a Reverse Cursed Technique user. Unlike healing flesh, dealing with a toxin requires a more advanced level of the Reverse Cursed Technique. Even Uraume's reverse Cursed Technique couldn't handle Choso's poison.
