A Domain Expansion is achieved through an overwhelming sense of self and represents the ultimate manifestation of a sorcerer’s ego.
Sukuna’s divine feat of achieving an Open Barrier is representative of his ability to project his sense of self onto the world.
Megumi’s incomplete domain represents his half-hearted sense of ego, his overwhelming sense of self isnt complete because he’s a selfless person, and its shown via his Domain buffing his Shikigami and technique. He has an emotional connection to his Shikigami and fights WITH them.
Yuji has no overwhelming sense of self. His Domain was achieved through an overwhelming sense of selflessness. His Innate Domain manifests as his home town, and requires manual activation of his sure hit because he believes in giving others a chance at redemption. He is compassionate and we literally get shown a buddha statue and his mudra is that of a boddhisatva who delays his own enlightenment to guide others to enlightenment.
His Domain doesnt need a name because it goes against the very nature of what a Domain is.
And this is expanded on in Modulo with his self-isolation and “old soldiers never die, they fade away”. He has no overwhelming sense of self, he echoes Gojo’s wish to be left behind because thats the role he gave himself. Its also why he vows to fully train the next generation, track down every HR lineage and turn himself into a Curses Object. His role is to guide others.
Thus his Domain doesnt require a name.
Cool character design aside, I’ve always loved the idea that the Ten Shadows represent animals, with Mahoraga representing humans and our ability to adapt to our circumstances.

The narrator implying Sukuna wasnt taking Gojo seriously untill the very end really puts Gojo saying “Sukuna wasn’t giving it his all” into perspective
Imagine giving it EVERYTHING just for your opp to only lock in for the last 15 secs. I’d have generational impostor syndrome 😭
@Gabriel04097@sosanjuu@UnSinVidaXD That’s exactly my point 😭 Being “broken and convenient” doesn’t make them equivalent. Six Eyes is an innate biological trait Gojo was born with, while an open domain is a developed ability. The distinction absolutely matters when you’re comparing the two.
Sukuna deliberately severing his own hand instead of just moving it out the way, giving Higuruma false hope just to shatter it anyway, is still one of the nastiest displays of pure sadism 💀
