Jujutsu Kaisen: Will Mahoraga Remain Tame When Summoned by Sukuna?

One of the feared moments after Sukuna took over Megumi has finally come true, where the curse king is ready to call upon Mahoraga.

How come? This creature is the strongest shikigami that has never been tamed by the entire Zenin clan for generations, including Megumi.

Will Mahoraga remain tame when summoned by Sukuna? Here is the discussion theory!

A Brief Overview of Mahoraga

Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga, or simply known as Mahoraga, is the strongest shikigami from the Ten Shadows technique of the Zenin clan.

He is the only shikigami that has not been subdued by any generation of summoners. 

This is because no one has been able to defeat Mahoraga as required by the Ten Shadows technique.

The reason why Mahoraga is so powerful is that he has limitless adaptability. 

Once he can withstand an attack, he will gain absolute immunity to all similar attacks.

The only one who has defeated Mahoraga so far is Sukuna, but he did so using Yuji's body, so his status as an outsider did not make Mahoraga submit to Megumi.

There is a possibility that Mahoraga will be tame because Sukuna is now inside Megumi's body.

As we know, the heirs of the Ten Shadows technique are required to tame all their shikigami themselves.

Although outsiders can also be involved in the effort to subdue the shikigami and even help defeat them, it will not make them submit to the Ten Shadows user.

However, a unique event has just occurred where Sukuna, who was known to have defeated Mahoraga previously, is now inside Megumi's body.

So, in theory, Sukuna's current status could meet the requirements of the Ten Shadows technique and make Mahoraga instantly submit if called, especially now that Megumi's soul has sunk into darkness after the immersion ritual.

The strong reason why Mahoraga is currently tame is Sukuna's statement that his call is now just a "warm-up."

There is an indication that Mahoraga is already tame when Sukuna is about to call him.

This is evident in Sukuna's dialogue in the last panel, saying that now is the perfect time for warm-up while starting to call Mahoraga.

Sukuna's words indicate that Mahoraga seems to have already been tamed and ready to be used to defeat his enemies.

However, there is a possibility that Mahoraga will still be wild when called, so Sukuna will have to tame him first.

Although Sukuna's status and his final words indicate that Mahoraga is already tame, we cannot ignore the possibility that he will still be wild when called by Sukuna later.

Sukuna's words about warm-up may mean that he will use the Ten Shadows technique in full to permanently subdue Mahoraga before killing Yorozu.

Sukuna must have prepared many strong cards if he has to quickly subdue Mahoraga to make him a obedient shikigami.

Conclusion

Seeing Sukuna's status, who has defeated Mahoraga before and now resides in Megumi's body, it is likely that the powerful shikigami has already been tamed when called.

This is implied by his statement that calling Mahoraga now is enough for warm-up.

However, Sukuna's words about warm-up when calling Mahoraga could also mean that he wants to subdue the wild shikigami first as a warm-up before fighting Yorozu.

We can only confirm this after the latest chapter is released in two.
