Simple Domain

is an anti-domain technique that erects a small domain complete with a barrier around the user to protect them from the effects of a Domain Expansion. 
== Description ==
During the height of jujutsu in the Heian Era, Sadatsuna Ashiya created the "domain for the weak" in order to protect his followers from evil curses and curse users. Binding vows were established that forbid teaching Simple Domain to outsiders, but other sorcerers saw the technique in action and were able to copy it for themselves, something the bindings did not account for. 
Created as a counter for domain expansions, Simple Domain neutralizes a domain's guaranteed-hit function by affecting its barrier and not the imbued cursed technique. However, against a proper domain expansion, Simple Domain can only hope to buy its user time. Powerful domains can destroy simple domains within seconds. 
Simple Domain barriers can be customized with different rules and binding vows to affect those within it, both caster and target. 
Simple Domain can also be used offensively. There are also several swordsmanship techniques within the New Shadow Style that operate around countering anyone who enters the range of the user's Simple Domain.
== Usage ==
Simple Domain was originally meant to be passed down through Sadatsuna Ashiya's school of thought and was forbidden to spread to outsiders. However, in the modern age, several sorcerers with no relation possess the ability to use Simple Domain. Kasumi Miwa was taught by her mentor in Junior High and Aoi Todo, who doesn't come from a Sorcerer Family, learned from Yuki Tsukumo.
=== Kasumi Miwa ===
Kasumi Miwa's Simple Domain creates a barrier beneath her feet that spans a 2.21-meter radius. Anyone who enters her domain will be intercepted automatically by her Batto Sword Drawing technique. If both feet leave their original position from when the domain was cast, Kasumi's technique ends. It is her main form of combat and was first showcased this ability during the Goodwill Event. 
Yuji Itadori stumbled into Kasumi's domain when the Kyoto Team attacked him. However, Yuji's advanced speed allowed him to completely avoid Kasumi's automatic counter. She also used Simple Domain in her jujutsu battle with Maki Zenin, but it was once again countered by superior speed and athleticism.

=== Kuchisake-Onna ===
Kuchisake-Onna can cast a Simple Domain that freezes time and enforces a binding vow of non-violence between her and her target until her question "Am I pretty?" is answered. Once the question is answered, time resumes and Kuchisake-Onna can attack with her scissors, conjuring numerous shears around the target.
Kuchisake-Onna used her Simple Domain when summoned by Suguru Geto to battle Toji Fushiguro. When she asked her question, Toji responded that she wasn't his type, causing her to conjure large shears around his body. However, the Sorcerer Killer effortlessly deflected them all with the Inverted Spear of Heaven before they can do lasting damage.

=== Kokichi Muta ===
Kokichi Muta was unable to cast Simple Domain himself but he was able to imbue the technique into mechanical tubes. Using the Technique Charge function of Ultimate Mechamaru Mode: Absolute, Kokichi could use his giant armored puppet to cast the technique. 
Mechamaru was able to shift the fingers on its right hand into gun barrels or spikes capable of injecting Simple Domain's effect into Kokichi's target. In Mahito's case, being hit with a projectile containing Simple Domain affected his soul because it neutralized his Idle Transfiguration technique upon detonation. Kokichi was also able to use it to protect the cockpit from Mahito's Self-Embodiment of Perfection.

=== Ui Ui ===
Ui Ui accompanies Mei Mei in battle because he's responsible for countering domains. He's capable of activating Simple Domain and neutralizing any cursed techniques as long as Mei Mei gives him permission. He did so to counter the Smallpox Deity's Domain Expansion after getting trapped in a coffin. Simple Domain nullified the disease curse's ability to bury the coffin underground with a gravestone, a technique Ui Ui would not have survived.

=== Atsuya Kusakabe ===
Atsuya Kusakabe is an elite-level user of the New Shadow Style. He reached the rank of grade 1 despite not having an innate technique thanks to his proficiency in utilizing Simple Domain. He can use the New Shadow Style swordsmanship techniques to cut down his enemies using different sword-drawing type attacks.
Kusakabe is also capable of using New Shadow Style to effectively block powerful techniques, as he did with Pseudo-Geto's Maximum: Uzumaki to protect his allies.
Kusakabe used Simple Domain to protect himself against Sukuna's slashes, reducing the damage dealt to himself by weakening the cursed technique.

=== Aoi Todo ===
Aoi Todo learned to use Simple Domain from his mentor, Yuki Tsukumo. He attempted to use it to nullify the effects of Mahito's Self-Embodiment of Perfection. However, the domain was only deployed for 0.2 seconds, slightly too fast for Aoi to counter.

=== Rokujushi Miyo ===
Rokujushi Miyo's Simple Domain creates a sumo wrestling ring where he must receive his opponent's permission to engage in order to complete his barrier. Agreeing to a sumo match avoids the need for any binding vows and results in a pure sumo bout within the simple domain.
As a result of the removal of any binding vows, time flows faster inside Miyo's barrier. The time it took for he and Maki to engage in 1,000 bouts within the domain only amounted to a few seconds outside of it.

=== Yuki Tsukumo ===
Yuki Tsukumo could use Simple Domain in addition to having the ability to expand her own domain. She was skilled enough at the technique to pass down her knowledge of it to Aoi Todo, who can also perform the technique. While Yuki can use simple domain to neutralize a can't-miss attack within a domain, it only bought her a few short seconds against a powerful domain such as Kenjaku's Womb Profusion.

=== Satoru Gojo === 
Satoru Gojo was a natural genius who could learned simple domain but could never teach it to others. He was forced to use it after his domain was broken by Sukuna. He activated simple domain while simultaneously using reverse cursed technique to heal himself. Gojo's barrier was quickly destroyed by Sukuna's domain and he was struck by his sure-hit effect. He conjured another simple domain shortly after and improvised healing his exhausted technique with reverse cursed technique rather than himself.

=== Yuji Itadori === 
Yuji Itadori learned how to use Simple Domain in the one month before the final battle against Sukuna by swapping souls with Atsuya Kusakabe. He used this anti-domain technique to defend himself against Sukuna's impromptu Malevolent Shrine, which was able to resist against the domain expansion for almost 99 seconds before being stripped away.

== New Shadow Style Techniques ==
	
	: An iai sword-drawing technique optimal for striking enemies situated directly in front of the user. It covers the blade with cursed energy, speeding up the drawing of the sword. It is the fastest technique within the New Shadow Style.
	: A sword-drawing technique that can be used within a simple domain. While within the domain, the user's cursed energy output is increased, and any cursed technique that enters it is weakened. Similar to Domain Expansion, a function can also be incorporated into the domain that allows the user to automatically intercept and deflect any attacks that intrude into it through iai sword-drawing.
	: A technique that allows the user to form their cursed energy into the shape of a sword's blade after the physical blade was broken.
