With This Treasure I Summon… or With This Treasure I Summon Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga is a catchphrase used by Megumi Fushiguro in Jujutsu Kaisen to summon the most powerful shikigami, Divine General Mahoraga. The phrase became the subject of memes throughout the 2020s, including on TikTok throughout 2023, where Megumi is portrayed as using the technique at any minor inconvenience, similar to the hollow purple memes that were popularized that same year.
Origin
Mahoraga is first summoned by Megumi in an attempt to exorcise him in chapter 117 of Jujutsu Kaisen, released on August 11th, 2020, in which he summons him with a specific hand sign and the incantation, "With this treasure I summon Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga."[1] Mahoraga later appears in chapters 212 (shown below) and 229, released on February 6th, 2023 and July 17th, 2023 respectively.[2][3] He first appeared in the anime in season two episode 17, which aired on November 16th, 2023.
