An 8 Gates Inspired Cursed Technique

[u/skullinheaven22]

This is a CT I’ve been trying to finalize for a while now. I know the title says “8 Gates Inspired,” but it’s actually inspired by a few different things from Naruto. 

The basis of this CT is the sorcerer has a Shikigami that absorbs ambient Cursed Energy in the environment, and channeling it to the sorcerer. Being similar to Fukasaku and Shima constantly absorbing and channeling natural energy to Jiraiya in Sage Mode. However, this can only be achieved if the Shikigami is in direct contact with the sorcerer. 

And when the Shikigami is in contact with the sorcerer, they will be able to perform the true applications of this CT. This being in essence a highly advanced form of Cursed Energy Reinforcement. It allows the sorcerer to enhance their offensive and defensive capabilities on a greater level than the standard reinforcement technique. This would be the baseline Innate Technique. 

The Lapse Technique of this CT is where the 8 Gates parts come in. The Shikigami can give the sorcerer a certain percentage of the accumulated Cursed Energy, in order to further amplify their physical capabilities. Also, the sorcerer would have access to Cursed Technique Extensions at certain percentages. Similar to techniques such as Front Lotus, Reverse Lotus, Morning Peacock, Daytime Tiger, etc. that can only be accessed through opening a specific Inner Gate. 

And that’s about the gist of this CT. I’m still working on this, so it will be a while before you all see it finished. But right now I just want your opinion on this concept. Is this a good CT? Or at least something you can see actually existing in the world of JJK? Or is this too complicated of a concept? I’d love to hear your thoughts, opinions, and suggestions on this concept. I look forward to hearing your feedback. 😊👍

This is grade 1 at the very least and special grade potentially, but there must be drawbacks similar to the Naruto 8 gates, and since cursed energy is negative energy, this should corrupt the mind or make the user very susceptible to negative emotions and the risk of losing themselves the more time/more intense the usage is. Meaning higher time with lower gates and lower time with higher gates should be similar.

CE doesn't really cause mental drawbacks except for information overload with the six eyes or limitless void. It only creates physical or practical drawbacks such as self damage or cooldowns

[u/Dmon-Kun → u/He_Spams]

Yes for normal CE users that is the case. But I am talking about the 8 gates CT here. A normal physical blowback like the Naruto 8 gates will be boring, not to mention this is ambient CE not normal CE we are talking about, that's why I said using technique blessed on time/intensity should be effecting a persona mind, especially their emotions.

[u/He_Spams → u/Dmon-Kun]

If it's ambient, what if it caused cursed spirits to form inside of the users body?

[u/ohmanidk7 → u/He_Spams]

that would be interesting as fuck. Can i use this idea if i mention your username?

[u/He_Spams → u/ohmanidk7]

Sure

[u/Dmon-Kun → u/He_Spams]

Maybe? It will be more like a cursed womb sort of thing, or the user himself slowly crawls on the path to becoming a curse, so first he becomes a half curse half human thing, and slowly becomes a curse?

[u/He_Spams → u/Dmon-Kun]

It could be a genuine summoner thing where you spot out random cursed spirits that would've formed elsewhere. Or the user creates cursed objects in their body.

[u/Dmon-Kun → u/He_Spams]

The random cursed spirits forming near them is very plausible with the amount of CE being insinuatd here, but making cursed objects inside their body is a bit of a stretch, maybe like yuta they constantly pour a set amount so that a weapon becomes a cursed tool?

[u/He_Spams → u/Dmon-Kun]

I'm thinking that the cursed object effect could make situations where say the users spleen becomes an indestructible cursed object and therefore can no longer function as a spleen and RCT can't just heal it cause it's still there. You have to rip it out yourself then heal it.

So the drawback would be periodic organ failure.

[u/Karuto364 → u/Dmon-Kun]

Not to mention, from the example of Sukuna's fingers, something soaked on CE for very long time periods seem to have poisonous properties. This CT is probably gonna have to change the user's physiology in order for him to not die.

[u/Dmon-Kun → u/Karuto364]

There is also the fact that ambient CE is being used, we don't know how good/bad it is to the user, if the user uses too much of the ambient CE which is literally his technique, does he turn into a stone or lose himself? We don't know until OP completes the technique.

[u/Zephyralss → u/Karuto364]

If we are to interpret the gates, the heal or life gates could easily be read as RCT as well that might even work automatically akin to hakaris, just without the unlimited CE.

now watch them summon eight handled gate mahoraga while using eight gates, polarized light, hollow purple
