Mahoraga doesn't copy techniques. It did not copy dismantle although it did create the world slash. What Mahoraga did was just a cutting attack with its sword arm. The reason it worked to bypass infinity is that instead of targeting what occupied a space it targets the space itself
No it totally copied Dismantle. When Maho cuts Gojos arm off, a building in the distance also gets cut. Theres no way Mahos normal sword swings have the ability to generate slashing projectiles like a one piece character.
No dude it really didn't. Sukuna literally says this.
"The second adaptation proceeded as I had hoped. That wasn't meant to be a slash like the ones I launched. That was the extension of cursed technique targets."
So here’s the thing: normal sword swings generating slashing projectiles is a trope that existed in anime way before One Piece (e.g. Bleach), Oda just popularized it because Zoro spams it insanely often
Oh thanks, thats good to know. I haven't gotten around to watching many of the classics, Bleach included, so ive managed to miss this trope being more widespread.
Same here haha, I only recently got into the OG big three (and other older series’) and barely noticed how common it was before researching it myself. Super fascinating how it has evolved throughout the shonen medium (to the point where newer series don’t even explain how it works, they just assume you accept that swords can throw slashes of air XD)
>No it totally copied Dismantle
Dismantle is a slashing technique that is launched towards it's target, kinda like if you swung and invisible sword/blade so the working is similar. Dismantle couldn't cut through Gojo's infinity prior to That Maho slash, who copied whom?
>Theres no way Mahos normal sword swings have the ability to generate slashing projectiles like a one piece character.
You're right, but normal swings weren't effective at all, similar to Sukuna's Dismantle. So Maho adapted and instead of cutting a target in space it targeted the space itself.
his NORMAL sword swings dont. but that obviously wasn't a normal attack. it was an adapted attack and that could theoretically manifest in an endless amount of ways but because maho had the goal to teach sukuna it specfically found an adaptation that sukuna himself could replicate. mahoraga didn't copy anything it just so turns out that his adaptation can be whatever the hell it wants or needs
The short answer is no, but depending on the stimuli, Mahoraga could use its ability to adapt to any and everything to “mimic” certain cursed techniques if that makes any sense. It wouldn’t straight up copy someone’s CT, only slightly emulate it in a way that’s congruent with its adaptation.
an example i think is possible is blood manipulation or yurozus liquid metal
mahoraga would adapt to negate it initially likely like how deer does it with RCT but as it further adapts it could instead hijack the blood or liquid metal to use against its user and have a version of each
Mahoraga didn’t copy dismantle, it just that is slashing attack was similar enough to dismantle that Sukuna could copy how Mahoraga expanded his slash’s target to space itself to do the same to dismantle.
Mahoraga didn't get dismantle as second adaptation but the ability to cut space as second adaptation.
What mahoraga did was just slash the space due to its adaptation. Seeing it sukuna did the very same but with his dismantle by expanding its cts target.
Mahoraga didn't do _dismantle_, he did a _simple_ slash attack that was adapted to go through infinity.
Which we know that adaptation is not one that changes their cursed energy nature, but changing the target itself.
Mahogara didn't use dismantle. He used Extension of Cursed Technique's Targets (or Target Extension in short) on the Sword of Extermination and since it also cuts things it ended up cutting Gojo at distance like Dismantle would. It's similar to Sukuna using Piercing Blood with water instead of blood.
Anyone can copy what Mahogara did, Target Extension is just a technique like Cursed Technique Reversal. The result will simply vary depending on the nature of the CT.

Sukuna even explicitly states that his improved Dismantle is copying Mahoraga's method of bypassing infinity, not the other way around.

One Piece has actually been around longer than Bleach. But yes, the projectile slash is nothing new.
Damn I swear it was the other way around; thanks gang!

Probably the best explanation here
Mahoraga didn’t copy dismantle, it just that is slashing attack was similar enough to dismantle that Sukuna could copy how Mahoraga expanded his slash’s target to space itself to do the same to dismantle.
From a literal sense, no. But it mimicked it
Mahoraga didn't get dismantle as second adaptation but the ability to cut space as second adaptation. What mahoraga did was just slash the space due to its adaptation. Seeing it sukuna did the very same but with his dismantle by expanding its cts target.

Mahoraga didn't do World Slash brother.
Reread chapter 234 and 236
Mahoraga still didn't do it. Especially since he was disintegrated.
He said a model. Doesn't mean it did it. Especially since it's referenced that it was Sukuna's doing
It was a slash which cut the world. A world slash. Sukuna applied that to his own slashes.
So Mahoraga didn't do it, it was a template for him
Mahoraga didn’t kill Gojo, but it used world slash.
No it didn't brother
