dunno how 10s inheritance works… is it like 6 eyes ? thats my only explanation as to why megumi has to die before yuka. (side eyes iori.) hey maybe cursegumi lives in 10s now and thats why its banned by the gojo clan (jk. maybe)
it was Such a hot debate point for EVERYONE during modulo coming out and we had shrodingers blessing (in the box theres a dead blessing and an alive blessing at the same time and seemingly the author is allergic to finding out which is it once observed!!!) it was So Fucking Annoying
1. canonically we have No in-text-confirmation that there can only be one 10S user at a time
2. we have No in-text-confirmation that 10S follows different rules from any other (non-/) inherited techniques (except for the part where were shown time and time again that 10S is a FREAK of a technique on every level specifically with its own set of rules and rituals, but ykno shrugs)
3. the only CANONICALLY STATED IN TEXT BY NARRATOR AND/OR CHARACTERS connection between the 6E/Limitless and 10S users are the gojo/zenin clan fighting each other and getting killed 400 years ago and mahoraga being the only thing in the universe who could Actually Figure Out How To Properly Kill Gojo (if you dismiss every other thing we've been shown in the visual medium that is a manga, but ykno shrugs)
4. we dont know when megumi died. we dont know if he actually died a human death.
for all we know, megumi got turned into a cursed tool/object! and frankly there's a bit too much evidence to support that!
5. 6 eyes are a physical trait, so i dont think they even count towards any inheritance. its more like only a limitless user can have 6 eyes manifest into them, and there can be multiple limitless users att just like any other inherited technique.
just like any other inherited technique. right.
1. we get it confirmed by gege directly that yes there can be multiple limitless users, but only one 6 eyes user at a time. im not sure but gege mightve said that there are other limitless users during satorus time, but i may be making shit up. but think about how satoru is related directly sugawara no michizane. therefore directly related to the gojo clan head from 400y.a. another direct line.
2. blood manipulation, the kamo clan IT is like, funnily enough the most common innate technique in 2018, statistically. both kamo noritoshis, choso and kechizu and eso, and yuuji, and the other 6 cursed wombs, all have some sort of blood manipulation, presumably. with only not knowing after whom noritoshi jr got his technique from, all of them got it from their parent. direct line.
3. even in the zenin clan of the 21st century naoya inherits naobitos technique in the same lifetime. (technically 20th century, cause naoya was born in like 1990 but yk what i mean). another direct line.
if 10S was as common as any of these techniques, the zenins would not have been clawing for megumi at the slightest bit of opportunity.
furthermore, there is no direct line of 10 shadows anywhere. megumi is surprised to hear of a 10S user from 400 years ago. if there was anyone around, wed at least get a mention somewhere.
the only direct line megumi has to both the zenin clan and the 10 shadows is through toji and maki. the heavenly restriction that takes away all of your cursed energy and heightens your other senses.
you know whos been shown and described as having a heightened sense for cursed energy? satoru with his six eyes, yeah, but i mean megumi.
its not just like the six eyes, where its a physical attribute that may or may not show up.
a 10S user within a generation guarantees a 0CE Heavenly Restriction within a generation. probably two generations.
and its not just megumi who does this, because its the same exact case for yuka.
a year older sibling with the HR - tsurugi and maki
POSSIBLY iori has the HR, too, since we hear nothing about him having a technique, only lamenting how weak his generation has become
so with all the evidence - 10S isnt like the 6E. its worse. it actively suppresses other sorcerers from having techniques, imposing a heavenly vow on them.
like i cannot understate how the 10S can only be inherited from a direct line from the 0CE Heavenly Restriction User.
which only brings more contextual evidence for all the tinfoil hatting weve been doing about 10S cannibalising other cursed techniques. because it Literally Cannibalises other sorcerers innate techniques before theyre born.
(and i think mai having a construction technique only further supports that if the twins were born as a single person they couldve had the 10S if ykno the 10S didnt cannibalised their technique in exchange for the HR.)
like do yall get my point?? that the 0CE heavenly restriction is the 10S restricting the sorcerer. which has insane implications for all the divinity stuff. (divine dogs and divine general, yall ever hear of those guys??)
but yeah im kinda in a "cursegumi tied to a cursed tool (possibly hiten) and thats why he got damnatio memoriae'd" camp and that yukas birth isnt causal to megs death, more like the other way around.
cause remember when the infamous "i wish fushiguro was here" was said.
when they talk about finding the 0CE heavenly restriction users and cursed tools.
tldr: 10S might be worse than 6E inheritance-wise, but technically megumi doesnt HAVE to die before yukas birth/technique manifestation.
i just know that if meg Had to die as yuka was born it was a nasty death, like, so horrible meg wouldnt have wished it upon sukuna kind of terrible.
were talking about the same thing that spawned fushiguro crashout megumi, the void that murders you with nothing but your voice screaming in your mind and big fucking raga
