A Domain Expansion represents the absolute pinnacle of jujutsu sorcery. It is the ultimate expression of a sorcerer's power. A supreme technique that separates the strongest from the rest of the jujutsu world.

To understand a domain, one must first understand the thing from which it is born.

The self.

A sorcerer's innate domain is the physical manifestation of their ego. The deepest reflection of their soul... their innate domain given shape through cursed energy. A barrier encloses the expanded innate domain, creating an isolated pocket of reality that exists apart from the outside world.

So, when Suguru Geto fingers laced together.

It was an invitation into his innate domain.

The physical world seemed to peel apart at the seams. The familiar landscape being dragged into the dark halls of Suguru Geto's soul.

His cursed energy erupted outward.

The barrier closed.

For one moment, the world was forced to witness the apex of Curse Spirit Manipulation.

DOMAIN EXPANSION: MANDALA OF THE SIXFOLD REBIRTH.

A colossal buddhist temple seemed to condense in the air. An intricate mandala formed on the floor rotating against each other in opposite directions.

Nanako and Mimiko laid unconscious upon this patterned floor.

Naruto hoped they were going to be okay.

Due to the cascade of sounds; the boy looked up, the temple roof was entirely missing. The sky was a swirling purple void stretched out into infinity. Filling that space were faces of millions of calcified, groaning faces. It was the living mass of every single cursed spirit Geto had consumed.

"Where am I?" Naruto wheezed.

"You are inside an environment constructed entirely from cursed energy and manifested through an innate technique," Geto explained. "A Domain Expansion."

"Gachi... gachi..."

The sound of grinding bone pierced Naruto's ears.

"Inside a domain, the caster receives a significant amplification to their physical and cursed energy output," Geto continued, without a trace of fear as the titan began to run towards them. "Furthermore, the environment allows me to imbue my technique into the barrier itself. My attacks carry a guaranteed, sure-hit effect."

Naruto blinked. "But I'm... ok?"

"That is because whoever stands beside me within this temple is intentionally excluded from the surehit," Geto replied softly. As he placed Naruto safely against the wooden doorframe.

A phantom face and two hands materialized above the monk as he stepped out of the temple.

"Unlike most sorcerers, my domain possesses six different surehits."

Naruto's exhausted mind struggled to comprehend whether that was just impressive or not

Geto caught the boy's blank expression and answered, "To put it in perspective for you... most sorcerers can only ever manifest a single sure-hit."

Naruto gasped.

Geto enjoyed the look of awe from the young ninja. However, he kept one critical detail to himself: While he technically had multiple sure-hits. He didn't actually have control over which one manifested.

The domain cycled through a fixed rotation upon each activation of his domain.

The floating phantom arms brought their palms together in a prayer gesture. The index and ring fingers bent inward until their knuckles pressed tightly together. While the thumbs, middle fingers, and pinkies remained extended straight up.

"So, the Animal Realm is our sure-hit for tonight," Geto muttered to himself.

Instantly, every single Grade 1 and lower curse in Geto's arsenal automatically hit the target. There was no deployment time, no travel distance, and no opportunity to dodge. It was a swarm of grotesque monsters materialized on and inside Gashadokuro's skeletal body all at once. bThe surehit functioned like an endless death swarm. With thousands of jaws tearing into the skeleton.

Naruto's jaw tightened as he watched the skyscraper-sized titan get mauled to death in a matter of seconds.

"It... it was that easy?"

"Easy? Nothing is truly easy in the world of jujutsu, Naruto," Geto advised. "A sorcerer must always look past the spectacle and decipher the true nature of the enemy. Gashadokuro is a shell hiding a heart. As long as its core remains undamaged, it can endlessly reconstruct its form from CE."

Look underneath the underneath. Naruto reminded himseld.

The boy jumped when a meaty organ of teeth and gums bit through the center of the monster swarm.

A mouth that formed on Gashadokuro's green heart.

A representation of the vengeful curse's unsatiable hunger.

"Just a cornered animal desperately trying to survive," Geto said in a mocking tone.

The massive green heart twisted and condensing into a teal sphere that levitated perfectly into Geto's open palm. He looked at the cursed orb briefly, before swallowing it whole.

A wave of catharsis washed over the boy as he saw the curse defeated.

The manner in which was also ironic.

Serves you right, you calcium-deficient freak, Naruto thought.

But the victory was short-lived for the boy. The sudden drain of adrenaline, combined with his internal injuries and the lingering backlash from earlier, finally caught up to him. Naruto blacked out.

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

He felt a nudge on his shoulder as his blurred vision began to clear.

His entire body felt unbelievably heavy. He realized he was no longer sitting against the wooden doorframe of Geto's temple. He was lying flat on his back inside a field of flowers. He rubbed his eyes, only to freeze when he spotted his parents standing above him.

Kushina had an angry, trembling look on her face that made the boy shrink. His father had a deeply disappointed yet heavy expression that felt... dreadful.

They hadn't said a single word yet, but the boy felt like he was in alot of trouble.

"Naruto..." Minato said sternly, balancing his authority as a father with his love.

Kushina on the other hand.

"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?! IF WE WERE EVEN A SECOND LATE... THE KYUUBI WOULD HAVE BROKEN OUT OF THE CAGE! THE SEAL WAS ALREADY SO DAMAGED, NARUTO!"

"..."

"YOU COULD HAVE DIED!"

"So what?!" Naruto muttered under his breath, freezing the duo in their tracks. "My friends were in danger! If I didn't use the Kyuubi's chakra, someone would have died!"

"Oh my God," Kushina said, turning to her husband completely exasperated. "Are you seeing this? Look at this boy's attitude! Minato; say something to him, or so help me, I will!"

"And what about your life, Naruto?!"

The boy went quiet. He hadn't actually thought about what would happen to him. He didn't consider the consequences or the damage. He just knew that if he use the kyuubi's chakra, he could protect them.

"Do you truly value yourself so little? You didn't even hesitate! And Geto was already on his way to the battlefield!"

"I didn't know he was coming!" Naruto was angry that his parents weren't on his side. "I didn't have a map of where everyone was!"

"Even moreso, you shouldn't be diving headfirst into the most dangerous option on the table while we are telling you to stop."

"Then what could I have even done without the Kyuubi?!"

The two parents frowned at what their son was saying.

"You could have had your shadow clones use the Rasengan's airflow trick!" Minato countered. "A coordinated sequence would have bought you enough time to run away with the girls!"

"..."

"And you had so much time to prepare before the fight even started," Kushina suggested. "Why stop at just the grand sinkhole trap? Why didn't you make backup traps in the forest? If the tree line had been rigged, you could have used the environment to your advantage to stall its movements!"

"..."

"Now that I think about it, a few carefully placed bait clones could have—" Kushina started, but she was abruptly cut off by the boy yelling. "I GET IT."

The redhead's hair began to lift up in anger, but froze the moment she saw the hot tears spilling down her son's face.

"I'm not as smart or strong as you two, okay?!" Naruto yelled. "You guys would've done it way better than me!"

"Naruto, that's not what we meant," Minato said softly.

"All I saw was a monster going to kill my friends." Naruto sobbed. "I took the risk because I knew the Kyuubi had the power that I needed. So yell at me all you want, but I did it to protect my friends. And I'd do it again!"

Minato and Kushina exchanged a look.

They didn't want their baby to feel cornered into defending his loyalty. The hardest part was making their thirteen-year-old understand the weight of his actions without making him feel unloved.

Parenting was alot harder than they originally thought.

"I wonder how Mikoto made this look so easy," Kushina muttered under her breath.

"Let's try not to be too hard on the boy right now," Minato suggested quietly. "He's exhausted."

"Yes, but why did he just give in like that to the Kyuubi's power?"

"Maybe it's because he wasn't properly prepared by the village," Minato said with disappointed tone. "If push comes to shove, and his immediate instinct is to grab the fox's leash... it means he feels like he didn't have the strength within himself."

"When we get back to Konoha, everyone in charge is going to deal with the Red-Hot Habanero!" Kushina growled in anger, her hair floating in the air. Minato chuckled softly as they walked over and sat down beside their son.

"We see how far you were willing to go to protect them, son. Seeing that kind of fierce loyalty... It makes us incredibly proud. You possess a heart bigger than Konoha itself. But you can't break yourself to pieces just to keep others whole."

"Kakashi-sensei taught me a lesson that I'll never ever forget," Naruto said, wiping his face aggressively with his sleeve. "In the ninja world, those who break the rules are scum. But those who abandon their friends are worse than scum."

Minato smiled that Kakashi had passed that legacy down to the next generation.

Kushina wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and pulling his head hard against her chest.

"You stupid, beautiful boy. The Kyuubi's power isn't a toy, Naruto. It's a poison, especially when you're in such a compromised state."

"Yeah... I get that, dattebayo," Naruto mumbled as the comfort of his mother's embrace finally allowed him to relax.

"Just promise me..." Kushina pulled back, looking directly into his blue eyes. "promise me you won't touch that fox's chakra again. Atleast until we teach you how to handle it safely."

"I promise," Naruto said.

The duo hugged their baby.

"At least all's well that ends well. Dattebayo!"

The parents winced simultaneously.

"What? Is something wrong?"

"Well..."

"The Kyubi completely shattered whatever was left of the original seal," Minato explained. "We had to restrain the monster using your mother's Adamantine Chains. Right now, it is essentially a constant tug-of-war between us and the fox."

"That's bad," Naruto said as he realized the level of the fuck-up he had done.

"The good news is that our curse spirit forms allow us to keep the Kyuubi locked in this tug-of-war indefinitely," Minato continued, trying to offer a silver lining. "Since we no longer require food, water, or sleep."

"What about pooping?"

"No, we don't need to do that either."

Naruto and Kushina giggled at that.

Shaking his head, Minato pressed on. "The bad news is that this is a temporary solution. We still don't know how to permanently resolve the issue."

"Why not just remake the old seal?"

"We could if we had access to chakra," Minato answered. "But this cursed energy doesn't work well with the fundamental laws of Fuinjutsu. To fix this, we had to remake the entire system of sealing arts from scratch. And now push it to the level of the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style before we can even attempt a repair. Progress has been incredibly slow on that front."

"Well, I still have regular chakra inside me," Naruto suggested, slamming his fists together. "Maybe you can teach me how it works, and I can help you guys build it!"

"Thank you, sunshine. But even if you were a natural Fuinjutsu genius. Just reaching our level would take decades of training. The time and resources we simply can't provide right now." Kushina said before giving her son a forehead kiss. "Also, you are going into a coma for a week, dattebane."

"WHAT?!"

"We need to filter out residual Kyubi chakra in your pathways," Kushina said. "We have a few strong guesses about what the fox might try to pull. But we are not taking any chances with your safety."

"So... what happens now?"

"We are going to temporarily seal your chakra network, which will naturally push your physical body into a comatose state," Minato said as the boy went pale.

"While your father carefully purges the malicious Kyubi chakra from your system. I will be holding the line and fighting the fox back into his place," Kushina said reassuringly.

Naruto took a deep breath "Okay. Let's do this. This is the consequence of my actions, right? I've gotta face it."

"Just don't be scared, Naruto. Trust us," Minato said.

"I do," Naruto replied. "And I'm really sorry that I keep making things so hard for you two."

"A parent's love is a shelter built to weather any storm their child creates," Kushina said kissing her son. "It is our job to guide you through the fallout, no matter how heavy it gets."

Naruto smiled through his anxiety.

Even if Minato and Kushina hadn't pushed their newly invented cursed-energy Fuinjutsu to the god-tier levels they desired. They still managed to construct a feasibly functional system on their own.

Strange symbols flared out.

And just before Naruto felt the darkness take him, he saw a strange visage of something in the corner looking at him.

It was another Naruto but with red eyes and black irises giving him a smile.

Q: Shouldn't Geto's domain be Womb Profusion?

Okay, so this is actually a really interesting question.

The fantheory that Geto's domain is Womb Profusion comes from the fact that when Yuta takes over Gojo's body, he uses Infinite Void.

Womb Profusion must similarly belong to Geto's technique, and Kenjaku just inherited it when he took the body.

Honestly, it's not a bad theory. But I don't buy it for my fanfic specifically.

Domains are always deeply personalized in regards to their appearance and how they affect the targets inside. Look at Gojo: his domain shows off how he's completely alone as the strongest. No one can approach him, no one can stand against him, and no one can truly understand him. Technically, Limitless is just space manipulation. Its domain could easily have been some eldritch geometry situation where space is all scrambled and only the user knows how to move through it. Instead, Gojo's domain manifests as literal information overload... which actually stems more from his Six Eyes than his base technique.

Look at Sukuna: his is a shrine of death where he plays a god of hatred, and everyone else just dies because he wants it to happen.

Kenjaku's domain is... well, it's just not Geto. Sure, according to the wiki, it's an instant-hit Uzumaki with an unknown damage type (not pure cursed energy like a standard Uzumaki). But look at that dang human tree of suffering and agony. Look at the multiple pregnant women with stitches on their heads and tell me that represents Geto.

If anything, that imagery represents Kenjaku and all of his horrific creations and experiments over the millennia. It represents the endless suffering he inflicts as he constantly tries to—in his own words—"give birth to new possibilities."

Pregnant women = the Cursed Womb: Death Paintings.

Pregnant Kenjaku = Yuji Itadori.

Honestly, Kenjaku probably has a lot more children out there somewhere.

That imagery does not fit Geto's personality at all. Geto's whole thing is that he sincerely, from the bottom of his heart, loves sorcerers. He considers them his friends and family. He genuinely believes he is doing the right thing, even if no one else understands him (he says as much to Shoko)

Also, he is slightly, just a teensy bit, crashing out from the trauma of Gojo almost dying.

Remember that scene after Haibara dies where Geto and Nanami are talking over his corpse?

Geto mentions how Gojo was sent to handle the situation, and Nanami goes, "Hell, can't we just leave everything to Gojo at this point?"

Geto immediately says no. Why? Because Nanami views Gojo as invincible, while Geto knows full well that Gojo is human and can die. Toji only managed to beat Gojo by piling massive amounts of physical and mental stress on him. Seeing everyone shift to the mindset of "just let Gojo handle it" stresses Geto out even further because it gives him flashbacks to when Gojo almost died. Then Yuki plants the idea of getting rid of curses in his head, he encounters the village abusing Nanako and Mimiko, and he realizes for the second time (the first being the Star Plasma Cult) that regular humans are worse than curses.

Basically, Geto's whole vibe is: "I will go to hell for the sake of those I cherish." He isn't killing people and causing suffering just for the fun of it. In his mind, he doesn't cause unnecessary suffering either. The only real case we see of him dragging it out is when he kills that rich man over the course of a few seconds while a curse sucks in his head. Even then, for the first few seconds, Geto literally asks Suda if the guy has a point. When it turns out the guy just hasn't been paying his curse protection fees, Geto cleanly kills him. He doesn't commit human experiments.

So, if domains change from user to user, how did Yuta copy Gojo's?

The answer is probably the brain transplant itself. The technique can imitate someone so perfectly that it literally fools the Six Eyes. Cursed techniques are engraved in the brain, yet Kenjaku replaces the brain and can still use the host's technique and memories. Meanwhile, cursed energy signatures are tied to the soul, because cursed energy comes from the soul (as Mahito stated: emotions stem from the soul). How does Kenjaku pull this off? Probably through absolute soul fuckery, since memories, techniques, and domains are all deeply tied to the soul.

I believe the brain transplant utilizes the physical body and the lingering imprints of the former owner's soul to acquire their memories, steal their technique (we know people keep their techniques in the afterlife despite being only a soul, like in the JJK Jujutsu Koshien episode), and imitate their cursed energy signature. It does this so well that Kenjaku kept falling back into Geto's subconscious habits even when he wasn't trying to, long after he revealed his true identity.

This brings us to the famous scene where Kenjaku gets choked by his own hand. There is also the moment where Kenjaku seemingly talks to himself, going, "Did you really think I wouldn't notice something you did?" while Utahime is flying in the sky above.

The author stated that Geto's soul is officially gone, comparing the body to a dragonfly or insect twitching after its head is cut off, and that the choke was Geto's final move. But how did that happen? And was it really his last move if Geto's body was implied to be actively trying to ignore Utahime's presence in the hopes that Kenjaku wouldn't notice her?

That is why I am going with the soul imprint/traces theory.

Think of it like this: if you fill a cup up with juice, and then pour it out into a different cup, there will always be about 5 to 8 drops left behind in the first cup. The brain transplant lets you pour your own soul (the juice) into that host body (the cup). It then uses those remaining traces of the previous soul (the juice droplets) to cover your own soul like a mask.

The Pros: You basically become them, gaining all of their abilities, techniques, and memories.

The Cons: Sometimes, if you try to kill their absolute best friend, those remaining soul traces will rebel and try to choke you out.

This is exactly how Yuta copies Gojo domain. He accesses those specific soul imprints to tap into the previous owner's Innate Domain. Naturally, you can choose not to imitate the previous owner, in which case the domain will be completely overwritten and influenced by your own soul. That choice is exactly what explains Kenjaku's human tree of agony and pregnant women.

So yeah, I really think Geto needs his own domain that isn't Womb Profusion. Hell, even the name itself represents Kenjaku's entire deal: constantly birthing horrific new things in a mad search for something better.

Note: I want to give a massive shout-out to an amazing reader, Kiro on Spacebattles, for actually writing the incredible analysis you just read! I originally had my own author's note ready to go, but Kiro did such an amazing job nailing the theory that I couldn't help but include their breakdown instead.

Q: What is MANDALA OF THE SIXFOLD REBIRTH?

Before I get into the deep dive, I want to give a massive shout-out to Redditor u/Nova1415221 for creating the foundation of this domain over on r/CTbox.

With their permission, I've adapted their awesome core concept and added a ton of my own personal changes to better fit the narrative (fair warning: my version is a lot less OP than theirs!). Regardless, full credit goes to them for the inspiration.

Another detail I want to expand on, is how Gege Akutami bases Domain hand signs on real-world Hindu/Buddhist mudras.

For example, Sukuna uses the mudra of Yama (Enma-ten). The Buddhist god of death, hell, and the ultimate judge of deceased souls. It perfectly mirrors Malevolent Shrine. A place of absolute, unfeeling slaughter where Sukuna acts as judge, jury, and executioner.

By contrast, Geto's hand sign for this domain expansion is the Kujaku Myoo mudra.

Kujaku Myoo (The Peacock King) is a Buddhist deity famous for consuming poison ( specifically human negative emotions and mental afflictions ) and converting them into spiritual nourishment.

The parallel to Geto is on the nose.

Cursed spirits are literally born from human negative emotions, and Geto is forced to ingest that disgusting poison every single day just to use his technique.

Now, let's get into the actual domain.

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

DOMAIN EXPANSION: MANDALA OF THE SIXFOLD REBIRTH

The interior of the Domain manifests as a massive, towering Buddhist temple. The sky is fused with millions of groaning, calcified faces of cursed spirits.

This Domain allows Geto to cycle through the Six Realms of Desire (Samsara), fundamentally altering the domain's guaranteed sure-hit effect.

These surehits are indicated by a massive pair of floating hands and a giant head looming directly above Geto. Just like the inescapable cycle of reincarnation, Geto can't manually choose his realm. The domain naturally and relentlessly cycles through them.

On a meta level, I wanted Geto's domain to perfectly mirror and clash with Gojo's Unlimited Void. Gojo represents the "Enlightened Buddha". The one who broke free from Samsara to stand alone as the honored one ("Throughout heaven and earth, I alone am the honored one"). Geto, on the other hand, is the "Fallen Buddha." He is a man who trapped himself entirely within the grueling, endless cycles of suffering, dragged down by his own ideals and the weight of the world.

The Six Realms.

1. Hell Realm (Naraka)

The Sure-Hit Effect: The target is forcefully subjected to the collective, crushing weight of every single negative human emotion that birthed the curses in Geto's arsenal. The victim simultaneously experiences thousands of lifetimes worth of pure fear, hatred, and agonizing anger, completely paralyzing their mind for as long as the realm is active.

The Hand Sign: The giant floating hands place the left palm flat over the heart, while extending the right hand downward over the knee, pointing all five fingers firmly toward the ground (Bhumisparsha Mudra).

This sure-hit is the ultimate projection of Geto's personal torment. He forces his target to experience the exact same mental pollution he had to swallow daily. It represents the psychological breaking point that caused his fall.

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

2. Hungry Ghost Realm (Preta)

The Sure-Hit Effect: Maximum: Uzumaki becomes the domain's guaranteed sure-hit.

The Hand Sign: The giant floating hands form tight fists, extending only the index and pinky fingers upward like horns, before crossing their wrists tightly in front of the throat (Tarjani Mudra).

Maximum Uzumaki condenses spirits into a singular throwaway blast. But as Kenjaku later reveals, its true purpose is the extraction of innate techniques. Geto never realized this because his pride made him see curses merely as stockable ammunition for his war.

This surehit reflects that.

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

3. Animal Realm (Tiryagyoni)

The Sure-Hit Effect: Any cursed spirit Geto summons that is Grade 1 or below gains an absolute, guaranteed-hit effect. They bypass the physical space between themselves and the target, spawning directly on top of the enemy's defenses. A Death Swarm similar to Dagon's domain.

The Hand Sign: Both giant floating palms press together in a traditional prayer position. But the index and ring fingers are folded inward so their knuckles touch. While the thumbs, middle fingers, and pinkies remain extended straight up. (Hayagriva Mudra)

The surehit reflects Geto's desire to swarm non-sorcerers (his enemy) with a wave of death. His curse mauling them to death.

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

4. Human Realm (Manushya)

The Sure-Hit Effect: The domain continuously suppresses the target's cursed energy. Thus attempting to forcibly reduce them to the state of a helpless non-sorcerer. This suppression manifests as a direct crushing contest of output. If Geto's output overpowers theirs, the target's cursed energy is completely smothered, entirely locking them out of their cursed techniques and physical reinforcement. If the target's output is higher, they can gradually fight through the weight to restore their abilities.

The Hand Sign: The right floating hand rises to shoulder height, palm facing outward with the ring and middle fingers touching the thumb. The left hand points downward, palm facing inward toward Geto himself. ( Karana Mudra combined with Abhaya Mudra )

This is the ultimate manifestation of Geto's hatred. He is trying to strip away what makes someone special. By violently dragging them down to the level of the "monkeys" he so deeply despises to prove his own superiority.

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

5. Demi-God Realm (Asura)

The Sure-Hit Effect: This includes Maximum: Uzumaki. Instead of firing a blast, the domain temporarily extracts the innate technique of a specific high-grade curse currently in Geto's arsenal and applies that stolen technique as the domain's automatic, guaranteed sure-hit.

The Hand Sign: The giant hands punch both fists together knuckle-to-knuckle directly in front of the solar plexus, with the thumbs tucked tightly inside the fingers. ( Mushti Mudra )

The Asura are mythological beings defined by jealousy, pride, and warfare against the gods. This realm represents Geto's burning envy of Gojo's divinity. To close that gap, Geto resorts to using his own curses to forcibly wield their techniques in a desperate bid to fight on the level of a god.

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

6. God Realm (Deva)

The Sure-Hit Effect: The target is subjected to the Cursed Spirit Manipulation.

If Geto can physically defeat and kill the target inside this realm using only his raw physical martial arts. Both sides have no CE. The target's soul is forcefully filled with regret upon death, turning them into a Vengeful Cursed Spirit that is instantly added to Geto's collection.

However, if Geto uses even a drop of Cursed Energy to kill them. The domain shatters.

The Hand Sign: The right hand is placed on top of the left hand, palms facing upward and resting comfortably in his lap. The tips of the thumbs lightly touch each other to form a perfect, unbroken oval (The Dhyana Mudra ).

In Buddhism, the God Realm represents a temporary, blinding paradise born from supreme ego. A place where beings feel all-powerful right before they inevitably crash back down into the agonizing cycle of Samsara. Here, Geto acts as a god offering a false "salvation."

But irony I have built in this realm is intentional.

To trigger his strongest realm, Geto is forced to completely strip away his jujutsu and stoop to the exact level of a "monkey" like Toji Fushiguro.

Toji was the catalyst who shattered his worldview and condemned him to this endless cycle of suffering in the first place. Yet, even inside his own Domain Expansion, Geto is forced to fight like toji before the wheel turns again. The endless repeating cycle of reincarnation.

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

I hope you guys really like this! This was a super fun domain to work on. Especially since each realm represents a different piece of Geto's ego and tragedy.

Let me know what you think of the mechanics and the parallels!
