**Self-Embodiment of Perfection** (自 (じ) 閉 (へい) 円 (えん) 頓 (どん) 裹 (か) , *Jihei Endonka*?) is Mahito's domain expansion using Idle Transfiguration.

## Description

This Domain Expansion is conjured by hand seals formed by tiny hands inside Mahito's mouth. This creates a large black environment that presents Mahito's target with giant hands clasped together to form a flower-like shape. Connected to these hands are multiple arms that grabbing one another to form a net pattern that surrounds Mahito's target.

Self-Embodiment of Perfection increases the effectiveness of Mahito's Idle Transfiguration cursed technique by allowing him to transfigure the souls of the targets within his domain without requiring physical contact. Nanami described the experience of being inside Mahito's Domain as akin to literally being in the palm of Mahito's hand. Alongside Satoru Gojo's Unlimited Void, Kento Nanami said Self-Embodiment of Perfection is an almost guaranteed victory for the caster. However, a major drawback of this ability is that Mahito is forced to touch the souls of everyone inside the domain, which backfires when Yuji Itadori entered the domain from the outside, causing Mahito to, albeit unintentionally, touch Sukuna's soul a second time, prompting the King of Curses to lash out at Mahito.

## Usage

Mahito first developed this technique while he was close to death during the climax of his battle with Nanami and Yuji. Using death as an inspiration, Mahito was able to increase his power and unlock the ability to utilize a Domain Expansion. Upon activation, it immediately locked Yuji out and trapped Nanami alone inside the dimension. However before Mahito could use his cursed technique, Yuji broke into the Domain Expansion from the outside. This forced Mahito to touch Sukuna's soul, angering Sukuna who slashes his body with two devastatingly deep cuts and severely damaging Mahito as his Domain Expansion collapses and he falls onto his knees defeated.

On October 21st, Mahito activated his Domain Expansion against Kokichi Muta, seemingly defeating the sorcerer as his large mechanical puppet collapsed. However, Kokichi used Ultimate Mechamaru - Mode: Absolute's Technique Charge Simple Domain to negate its effects and pretended to be affected to strike him back.

After being inspired by his battle against Gojo and awakening a better understanding of the essence of cursed energy from landing a Black Flash on Yuji earlier, Mahito learned how to activate his Domain Expansion for 0.2 seconds by shortening the processes of realizing his innate domain and activating his cursed technique into one process. He demonstrated this feat against Yuji and Aoi Todo, successfully using Idle Transfiguration on Aoi without touching him, who stopped the technique from traveling to the rest of his body by cutting off his transfigured hand. Due to the short amount of time the domain expansion lasted, Mahito was able to avoid being attacked by Sukuna despite touching his soul.
