The Shibuya Incident, Part 46

Above Shibuya, the decisive fight among Yuji, Todo, and Mahito tears through the streets. Bent on removing Todo so he can fix his attention on killing Yuji, the cursed spirit keeps trying and failing. With Todo refusing to budge, Mahito draws on his earlier duel with Gojo and gambles on an instantaneous domain of barely 0.2 seconds.

Declaring this their final shot at cursing one another, Mahito is met by Todo swapping all three positions to grab the curse and drive him headfirst into the pavement. Yuji's follow-up kick whiffs when Mahito ejects his own head, whose body then sprouts two eyes and blades while the head grows a fresh body to fire Soul Multiplicity. Now Mahito binds souls with weak rejection into one mighty transfigured human via Polymorphic Soul Isomer. Todo keeps his side ahead with Boogie Woogie, reasoning that although the body carries the bulk of the strength, the genuine Mahito resides in the head, since it was the part that used Idle Transfiguration. Aiming to wreck the Isomer first, Todo is blindsided by a colossal hit that punches him through a full floor of an office building and out the other end, though he rights himself.

Todo answers by pouring cursed energy into a stone, swapping behind the Isomer, and dropping it in a single strike and deducing its explosive force came from Mahito burning many souls at once. After begging their pardon, he clears the two remaining ones. Loosed from Boogie Woogie, Mahito floods Yuji with a nastier Body Repel, yet Yuji slips it and dropkicks him, only for the curse to seize his leg and slam him to the ground. Once the dust thins, Mahito is irritated to see Todo back beside Yuji. Unable to transfigure Todo without contact, and leery that Sukuna would punish any domain attempt, Mahito decides isolating Yuji from a barrier is too intricate and turns instead to his fight with Gojo. Stunning both sorcerers, he activates Self-Embodiment of Perfection, staking the entire fight on a do-or-die barrier lasting only 0.2 seconds.

This chapter brings in Mahito's Polymorphic Soul Isomer along with his split-second domain expansion gambit. It corresponds to anime Episode 45 and ran in Weekly Shonen Jump issue 49 of 2020. The 0.2-second domain is a bold escalation that primes the decisive swing in the battle against Mahito.
