Reverse Cursed Technique

**Reverse Cursed Technique** (反転術式(はんてんじゅつ), *Hanten Jutsushiki*?) is a special type of cursed technique that takes cursed energy and reverses it into positive energy. It is a very complex technique and is mainly used to heal human bodies.

## Description

A reverse cursed technique processes negative energy into positive energy by taking two sources of cursed energy and multiplying them by one other. As a result, the energy that destroys becomes energy that creates, and negative energy becomes positive. Despite sounding simple enough, producing reverse cursed energy is extremely complex and difficult to perform for most jujutsu users.

Reverse cursed energy can be used for various purposes, but most commonly healing. Cursed energy comes from negative emotions, which are unfit for healing living things. However, cursed spirits that are made up of cursed energy don't require a reverse cursed technique to heal. Jujutsu sorcerers use reverse cursed energy mainly for generating new flesh to heal human bodies. However, even using a reverse cursed technique to heal wounds can sometimes leave a scar. While very few sorcerers can utilize a reverse cursed technique, there are even fewer that use it to heal people other than themselves.

Cursed spirits are vulnerable to reverse cursed energy as the positive energy can compromise the integrity of their cursed energy based bodies. When reverse cursed energy is blasted directly into a curse, it compromises the structure of their body and causes them to disintegrate.

### Cursed Technique Reversal

Reversed cursed energy can also be used instead of regular negative energy to power a **Cursed Technique Reversal** (術式反転(じゅつしきはんてん), *Jutsushiki Hanten*?). By applying positive energy, the effects of the technique will be reversed. For example, by fuelling the Limitless technique with positive energy, Satoru Gojo can bring infinity, which is normally an invisible phenomenon, into reality as a tangible explosive force.

### Mechanics

The cursed energy multiplication table below represents how a reverse cursed technique creates positive energy from negative energy:

*Negative x Negative = Positive*

*Cursed Energy (-) x Cursed Energy (-) = Positive Energy (+)*

### Countermeasures

While cursed energy flows from the stomach, reverse cursed energy is directed from the user's brain. Therefore, an effective countermeasure for reverse cursed technique users is to destroy their head with an attack without giving them a chance to recover. Poison is another possible counter is to poison a reverse cursed technique user. Unlike flesh regeneration, targeting a toxin and removing it requires a higher level of reverse cursed technique. Not even Uraume's reverse cursed technique was able to deal with Choso's poison.

## Usage

### Shoko Ieiri

Shoko Ieiri is one of few people who can use a reverse cursed technique to heal others. She is considered incredibly valuable to Jujutsu High. Thanks to her talent for utilizing a reverse cursed technique and her medical knowledge, she earned her position as the school doctor. Despite being incredibly well versed in utilizing reversed cursed energy, she has never been good at explaining how it works to others.

### Ryōmen Sukuna

Sukuna is capable of using a reverse cursed technique to heal himself and others. He's incarnated in Yuji's human body, so he mainly uses reversed cursed energy to restore it.

In order to push him to making a Binding Vow, he removed Yuji's heart and used his ability to heal as leverage. After they agreed on terms of the Vow, he healed Yuji's heart and returned him from death. Mahito mentioned that a reversed cursed technique could revert the shape of a soul back to normal to remove the effects of Idle Transfiguration. However Jogo later refutes this, claiming that even if Sukuna was capable of using Reverse Cursed Technique on others, Mahito's Idle Transfiguration is not something that can be fixed.

In Shibuya, when Sukuna found Megumi in a state of suspended death, he used reversed cursed technique to heal him and ensure Megumi survived. As seen in his fight against Gojo Satoru in Shinjuku, he could use it in quick succession as his regained limbs maintain the same integrity as the rest of Sukuna's body. Sukuna can also use Reversed Cursed Technique to heal his burned-out Cursed Technique after seeing Gojo do it just once with the implication being that he knew this beforehand. This displays Sukuna's extremely high level usage of the Reverse Cursed Technique.

### Satoru Gojo

In spite of being the most talented sorcerer in the world with the Six Eyes, Satoru as a first and second year jujutsu high student was always unable to grasp the complex nature of reverse cursed energy. He was completely unable to unleash the Cursed Technique Reversal: Red, failing to activate it in a fight during the Star Plasma Vessel Escort mission as a student.

After being nearly killed by Toji Fushiguro, Satoru tapped into the core of cursed energy and awakened the true powers of the Limitless. This allowed him to utilize a reverse cursed technique for the first time, restoring himself from a near-death state. Applying this same concept to his Limitless technique, Satoru was able to unleash Red on Toji in their rematch.

As a third year student, Satoru further mastered the Limitless and learned to use a reversed cursed technique constantly running through his body in order to preserve his brain while his technique is active.

As an adult, his proficiency increased tremendously. While he has yet to master the skill of healing others, which is something that few like Sukuna and Shoko can do, by the time he became a third year student, Satoru had mastered reverse cursed technique to the point where he developed the unprecedented ability to keep a reverse cursed technique flowing through his body constantly as to keep his brain fresh despite making constant use of the Six Eyes and the Limitless at a scale that would normally fry his brains, which also served to heal him should any attack pierce his Infinity, the maximum output of his reverse cursed technique capable of allowing him to even survive the effects of Sukuna's Malevolent Shrine by healing himself as quickly as the rapid-firing slashes of Sukuna's Domain. Satoru's mastery over the personal applications of reverse cursed technique is such that he even had the skill to use a reverse cursed technique to replenish his burnt-out cursed technique after using Domain Expansion, a feat that was believed by most who saw it to be impossible, even for an expert of reverse cursed technique on Yuta's level.

### Yuta Okkotsu

Yuta Okkotsu learned to utilize a reverse cursed technique early on in his tenure as a jujutsu sorcerer. This was due to Rika's tremendous levels of cursed energy and her ability to unconditionally copy techniques. Yuta first utilized it to heal Maki, Toge, and Panda all at the same time after they were injured by Suguru Geto. Suguru was highly impressed that Yuta was able to use a reversed cursed technique after only recently becoming a sorcerer. Even after releasing Rika from her curse, Yuta retained the ability to use a reverse cursed technique and has become highly efficient in doing so. Yuta possesses the rare ability to output reverse cursed energy. Like Shoko, this allows Yuta to heal others, something not even Satoru Gojo can do. In addition, Yuta has the unique ability to apply reverse cursed energy to his attacks as well.

When tasked to execute Yuji Itadori, Yuta was able to avoid permanently killing him by instantaneously healing him with a reverse cursed technique the moment his heart stopped. He was able to trick the higher-ups into thinking it was a real execution because not many people know Yuta can take reverse cursed energy as is and apply it to others. He is also able to heal poisoned victims which requires more precise skills, this shown when he healed Naoya in exchange for informing the higher-ups that Yuji was executed.

Up against Kurourushi in the Sendai Colony, Yuta knew he could exorcise the curse by driving reverse cursed energy into its body. Positive energy will compromise a body made of cursed energy regardless of how powerful that cursed spirit may be. However, using a reverse cursed technique is a rare ability and Yuta did not want to reveal it during the fight with others Culling Game players watching his moves. He only resorted to using reverse cursed technique when his life was in danger to destroy Kurourushi. He bit the cursed spirit's face and delivered a mouth-to-mouth blast to its brain, completely compromising the integrity of it's body and ultimately leading to its annihilation.
