Limitless

Limitless (無 (む) 下 (か) 限 (げん) , Mukagen^?) is an inherited technique passed down in the Gojo Clan. This technique brings the concept of "Infinity" into reality, allowing the user to manipulate and distort space at will.

While any member of the Gojo Family can hereditarily gain this technique, only those who also possess the Six Eyes as well can truly master the power of the Limitless.^[1] Satoru Gojo is the first sorcerer to be born with both the Limitless and the Six Eyes in the last four hundred years.^[2][3]

Description

Neutral Limitless: Infinity

Infinity (無 (む) 限 (げん) , Mugen^?) is the base state of the Limitless and is essentially the power to stop.^[4] The Limitless technique operates the same way convergent and divergent sequences do in mathematics. The Infinity is the convergence of an immeasurable series, anything that approaches the infinity slows down and never reaches the user.^[5] This is because the technique takes the finite amount of space between the two subjects and divides it an infinite amount of times.^[6]

In mathematics, no matter how many times someone divides a number it will never be reduced to zero. Instead, they will be left with fractional units so infinitesimal it would become immeasurable to their eye. The Limitless brings this concept into reality, so anything that attempts to penetrate this infinitely divided space will slow down to the point of appearing to stop completely.^[7]

The invisible barrier created by the Infinity can be expanded to keep harmful substances away from the user,^[8] or to overpower someone by increasing its output.^[9] The Infinity can only be deactivated by the user, or dismissed with a domain, applied through either expansion or amplification.^[10] Cursed tools imbued with specialized cursed techniques can also disturb^[11] or dispel the Infinity.^[12]

Strengthened Limitless: Blue

Main Article: Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue

Blue (蒼 (あお) , Ao^?) is the Cursed Technique Lapse of the Limitless. It is activated by channeling amplified cursed energy into the Limitless. It infinitely converges space to a single point to create a void-like effect and produce fields of attraction. The aforementioned center point sometimes manifests as a blue-colored sphere.^[4] Blue's power to attract can applied in various ways. It can pull two targets into each other, destroy a building, implode an individual, or increase the user's speed among other applications. Consistent with the Limitless technique in general, Blue is difficult to use and requires precise manipulation of the user's cursed energy, which can cause the user to tire out easily.^[13]

Short-Range Instantaneous Movement

A Limitless user can achieve high-speed movement across short distances using Blue. For a non-sorcerer, getting hit by someone using Blue for high-speed movement would feel like being hit by a truck.^[10] This is a different application of the Limitless than compressing space for long-range instantaneous movement. The speed granted by both made Satoru Gojo the fastest sorcerer of his era.^[14]

Reversed Limitless: Red

Main Article: Cursed Technique Reversal: Red

Red (赫 (あか) , Aka^?) is the Cursed Technique Reversal of the Limitless, which reverses the effect of the strengthened technique and brings the divergence of infinity into reality,^[15] generating the power to repel.^[4] This is achieved by flowing positive energy into the power of the Limitless, creating a repelling effect rather than an attractive one. This technique manifests as a small red orb that can unleash immense explosive force in an instant.^[16][17] The energy output of Red is at least twice as much as the output of Blue.^[10]

Generating positive energy for Red is extremely difficult. It requires an even more complex manipulation of cursed energy than usual, making pulling off reversal even more sophisticated than using lapse. The user must multiply their negative energy by negative energy to create positive energy, a simple concept that proves to be extremely difficult in practice.^[18] Being able to use a reverse cursed technique is extremely complicated for any sorcerer, even for the most gifted of the Gojo clan.^[19]

Advanced Techniques

While the Limitless technique is already complex by nature, it possesses even more advanced and elaborate techniques than Red and Blue. These techniques require intense training and practice, even for a prodigy of the Gojo Family with the Six Eyes.^[20]

Colliding Limitless: Purple

Main Article: Hollow Technique: Purple

Hollow Technique: Purple (虚 (きょ) 式 (しき) 「茈 (むらさき) 」, Kyoshiki・Murasaki^?) is the fusion of Red and Blue, a secret ability known to only a few in the Gojo clan. Both infinities, convergence, and divergence collide, resulting in an imaginary mass that rushes forth. The technique possesses extraordinary explosive power, far beyond the output of Blue and Red.^[21][22]

Long-Distance Teleportation

A Limitless user is able to use spatial manipulation to teleport long distances under certain conditions.^[23][24] This is achieved by compressing the space between the user's location and their destination,^[25] but they can teleport anyone they're touching as well.^[26] A drawn sorcery circle can be used to teleport other people by the user.^[27]

Domain Expansion

Main Article: Unlimited Void

Unlimited Void (無 (む) 量 (りょう) 空 (くう) 処 (しょ) , Muryōkūsho^?) is the Domain Expansion of Limitless, which traps the target inside the concept of infinity. While inside the domain, the target is inundated with an endless stream of information, overloading their brains and leaving them in a catatonic state.^[28]

Trivia

• The protective aspects of Limitless resemble the concepts of Zeno's paradoxes. "That which is in locomotion must arrive at the halfway stage before it arrives at the goal." Much like the Limitless, this results in a paradoxical infinite series.
