The Fourth Turn: How Mahoraga's Wheel Shattered Gojo's Unbreakable Infinity
Q1: Why did Mahoraga require four turns to adapt to Gojo's Infinity instead of just one?
A1: Complex, layered cursed techniques require multiple exposures for Mahoraga's wheel to parse. Simple elemental attacks or physical impacts can be adapted to in a single rotation, but the continuous spatial mathematics of the Limitless demanded four complete cycles to formulate a working bypass.
Q2: Could Gojo have survived if he killed Mahoraga before chapter 232?
A2: Yes. If Gojo had unleashed an unrestricted Hollow Purple earlier in the fight, Mahoraga would have disintegrated before executing the fourth turn. Without that visual demonstration of space-cleaving, Sukuna lacked the operational blueprint required to extend Dismantle into the World Cutting Slash.
Q3: Can Mahoraga adapt to non-physical or purely conceptual attacks?
A3: Mahoraga adapts to any and all phenomena once exposed, including mental attacks like the informational overload of Unlimited Void. However, if a conceptual attack obliterates the shikigami entirely in its opening strike, adaptation cannot trigger, as the wheel must survive the incoming phenomenon to process it.
