Good question. I honestly have no idea what Hakari and Gojo can sacrifice to improve their ability. From what we've seen, binding vows can be used to compensate for weakness. For example, domain can function normally despite damage to the sorceror or omitting the activation condition for certain technique. Gojo's technique is really efficient and fast to begin with. I honestly don't know what he can do to improve. In hakari's case, his domain quite literally gave him infinite curse energy. What more can you even improve there? Even if you want to improve duration, there's literally no need since he can just activate domain expansion all over again. Maybe you're right that a versatile technique would allow better flexibility with binding vows.

But a technique is not necessary to impose a binding vow. For instance, Nanami Overtime puts a limit to the amount of cursed energy he can output during work hours. In exchange, he can use up to 110% during overtime.

Sukuna's barrierless domain apparently also made use of binding vow (permitting entry and exit in exchange for higher radius up to 200 m). But I guess it's not that simple otherwise anyone can use barrierless domain. It's really hard to say what's possible or not with binding vows. I agree that most techniques are so set in stone that sacrificing anything to achieve a buff would ruin it. In sukuna's case, it's probably because he's not sacrificing to achieve higher output but imposing rules on himself to change the parameter and condition of his technique. The rules are most likely to be permanent too which is probably why he can gain so much.

Idk why Miwa doesn't gain much from her Binding Vows either. I guess she's just that weak to begin with. If I had to use an example, Gon from HunterXHunter is probably the best one (HxH uses similar power system with Nen. Maybe Gege is inspired by it). Gon can only gain so much because his potential is that high. Meaning, Gon always had the potential to be as strong as Meruem in the future which is why his Nen Vow allow him to reach that state in exchange for everything.

Really? Mine is pretty fast. But I do change to server 2 or 3.

The manga title is preventing me from hoping.

I wonder what's going on. I feel like these chapters focusing on romance has just as much mystery as the main plot. Dude is unpredictable.

It's because he's strong even without binding vows that he can afford to make bold decisions like that easily. Nerfed Sukuna still slams like 90% of the verse. That's how much leeway he has. That's also probably how he became strongest sorcerer. Other characters would think twice before commiting binding vows. Nobody wants to end up like Miwa after all. If you go all in and fail, there's nothing else you can do.

Forgot about his binding vows to keep his domain up. But I'm too lazy to read that again.

Sukuna is making full use of binding vows to buff himself. He's definitely losing, it just doesn't appear like that because he's buffing himself in exchange for nerfing his skillset.

Let's see.
1. World Splittin Cleave has activation condition of Enmaten. Sukuna lost both arms and can't recover with RCT. Hence, he made a binding vow to completely neglect the activation condition just to fire one at Gojo. In exchange, he has to use Enmaten, chanting, specify the direction of his technique before he can activate it. This is important as we see that he wasn't given much chance to fire the world splitting slash at Yuji and co. The only time that we can see him firing world cutting slash is against Kashimo. Other than that, probably Higuruma and Yuta got hit with those since we see him chanting there.

2. This chapter shows another binding vow that will nerf his skillset. In exchange for higher range and speed, he can only use furnace on single target outside his domain. This is not really a nerf since he rarely use it anyway.

In Sukuna's current state, he:
1. Can't use Domain anymore. Most likely can't use his CT as well.

2. Missing both left arms that can't be regenerated. He can't use RCT anymore.

3. IF he can use his CT, he still can never fire world splitting slash unless he recover his rct first. Since he can't make his hand sign with only right arm.

4. Doesn't have a heart and forcibly pumping his blood using cursed energy(?). I have no idea how he's doing this tbh. It's been like that from earlier chapters. Some things are just unexplained properly. Like how come he can resist Idle Transfiguration?

That's probably it. Tbh, with the way he's using binding vow, I'm surprised he didn't kill Gojo sooner. Mf can just buff his output if he use his real form because he can freely chant. If he just went all out from the beginning (Real form, Barrierless domain, Kamutoke, maybe even add binding vow, sacrifice something to up his output) he could probably kill gojo in first domain battle since he already broke his domain then. Him trying to be smart and probably greedy for that space cut just gave him unnecessary brain damage.

Can't use it on multiple targets "outside of his domain". The domain is still there even though cleave and dismantle is stopped.

That's crazy man. What is wrong with the author? All this development for Lee Juri just to end the chapter like this.

Ayo. She a victim. That escalated fast. I should have seen this coming knowing she was an idol.

Coloring team didn't understand the assignment. Or maybe I'm color blind because that doesn't look like green light to me. 😭

So he's not actually gay. I seriously thought he's just gay for Haru. This means that he was just trying to protect him all along which is why he insisted that Haru joins the North.

I feel like there would be a twist. But MC still didn't kill an innocent guy in the end. Theory: Maybe Yuri was protecting Shiika and ended up assaulted by the man.
