Summary
Cursed energy fuels the world ofJujutsu Kaisen.Cursed Energy is the power source for sorcerers,enabling them to perform Cursed Techniques. These techniques are essential for combating curses, supernatural entities born from negative human emotions such as hatred, fear, and despair.
Among the many powerful techniques showcased in the series is Cursed Technique Reversal: Red. Cursed Technique Reversal: Red is a powerful extension technique of theLimitless passed down within the GojoClan. But, how does it work?
What is the Difference Between Lapse and Reversal?
Cursed techniques inJujutsu Kaisenare activated by infusing cursed energy into them, utilizing either the Lapse or Reversal processes. Cursed energy functions like electricity, with cursed techniques acting as appliances that utilize this power. Users process cursed energy within themselves using a procedure similar to a mathematical formula to activate their cursed techniques.
Lapse Process
This technique involves the circulation of cursed energy in a forward direction. It’s the method most commonly used by sorcerersto unleash their cursed techniques.
Reversal Process
The Reversal process, on the other hand, is a more specialized and complex technique. Unlike the Lapse process, which relies on directing cursed energy forward, the Reversal process generates positive energy by multiplying negative energy. This unique ability allows users to not only counter curses but also to harness their negative energy and transform it into a force for good or positive outcomes. It’s a technique that requires a deep understanding of the nature of cursed energy and precise control over its manipulation. Cursed Technique Reversal: Red uses this process.
