I was recently reflecting on Jujutsu Kaisen, and I came to the realization that amidst Megumi’s shadows… Orochi is really, REALLY busted.
This is a shikigami that managed to off-guard 3F Sukuna, meaning that realistically even grade 1 sorcerers wouldn’t be able to respond to the surprise attack.
Its real potency is utilized in combination with Nue, one strike from the bird was able to completely immobilize Kamo, and intense enough to hold down Hanami for a moment. Orochi basically guarantees this attack goes through.
Imagine during his fight with Reggie, Megumi just pulls out a massive fucking snake??? Unlike with the elephant it’s too fast for him to respond to. He’s done with almost immediately.
The greatest strength of 10 shadows is its versatility and Orochi was a very big part of that.
