[December 24th. 2018. Shinjuku. Battle of the Strongest.]

Gojo pummels Mahoraga's face with a three-hit combo, a right and left cross followed by a double palm strike that knocks the shikigami back. Gojo's output has fallen due to his injuries but he attempts to restore it by reciting the incantation for Reversal Red.

Satoru Gojo (Shinjuku Arc): ”Phase…”

”…Paramita…”

”…Pilar of light…”

Satoru Gojo (Shinjuku Arc): ”Cursed Technique Reversal!”

Before the technique is unleashed, You activate Rabbit Escape from Gojo's shadow to obscure his view.

Satoru Gojo (Shinjuku Arc): ”Still hurting from Black Flash?” He smirks & makes a gun hand sign. ”Well, time for you to come out of hiding!”

Red!!!

He blasts Red through the ground and pursues you through a large corridor.

Satoru thinks to himself: ‘Mahoraga has adapted to my inviolability… so it’s on the offensive. My opponent doesn’t want me to destroy it… so it’s on the defensive. And he’s trying to make an opening… so Mahoraga can attack!’

Having adapted to the Infinity, Gojo assumes Mahoraga will serve as the primary offense while you protect it from destruction. You throw a fire extinguisher at Gojo, creating a smokescreen when it hits the Infinity. Mahoraga attacks from above while you assume the firing stance for Piercing Blood. Using Max Elephant's water, you fire an imitation of Piercing Blood at Gojo through the smokescreen. Gojo is surprised while blocking Mahoraga's attack and the Piercing Blood cuts his arm open as he devotes one arm to block it at the last moment. Mahoraga slashes its blade at Gojo again but he evades to the side.

At a heavy disadvantage, Gojo reads over his situation.

Satoru thinking to himself: ‘Instead of merely providing support, my opponent will also attack… when Mahoraga negates my inviolability.

He continues analyzing.

Thinking to himself: ‘That means this is two against one. And what’s with casually deploying a Shikigami’s power without manifesting the Shikigami itself?! Moves like piercing blood making use of Max Elephant requires skill on my level!’

Gojo knows you can't use Shrine and the Ten Shadows Technique at the same time but assumes he'll continue using more shikigami now that Mahoraga has adapted.

Gojo continues his train of thought: ‘That means adapting to Reverse Red will take time compared to cursed technique Lapse.’

You interrupt Gojo's train of thought by telling him he's mistaken if he thinks the fight is two-on-one. He summons Merged Beast Agito and states this fight is actually a three-on-one.

Satoru Gojo (Shinjuku Arc): ”You look like a lost child.” He mocks you.

Mahoraga and Agito attack Gojo at the same time, forcing him to retreat backward. You appear from Gojo's shadow and fires another Piercing Blood up at him. Gojo avoids the projectile and throws a downward punch at the shadow. You backflip out of the way while Mahoraga moves to attack Gojo from behind. Gojo slips Mahoraga's punch while Agito attempts to circle behind and grab him. Gojo gets behind Mahoraga instead and fires Red at its head at close range.

Satoru Gojo (Shinjuku Arc): ”Red.”

It does much less damage than normal not only due to Gojo's low output, but the adaptation process. You were hit by one Red head-on, making Gojo assume the adaptation is gradual rather than binary. He decides this means he'll have to end this fight using an Unlimited Hollow (Purple)!!

Your shikigami pursue Gojo outdoors back onto the streets of Shinjuku. Agito attempts to grab Gojo but he ducks under its arms. Gojo lunges forward to avoid a downward attack from Mahoraga while simultaneously landing a Black Flash that destroys Agito's midsection. The shikigami quickly regenerates its abdomen with reverse cursed technique and counterattacks with its tail, Great Serpent. Gojo rips the head off of Great Snake but that quickly regenerates as well.
