Power Progression

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
Ten Shadows Technique acquired	1	The Goddess arranged for him to receive the technique before sending him to Solaris; Mo Bai initially did not know what he had drawn 1 160.
Nue subdued	2	Used Cursed Energy-enhanced punches and a Divine Dog to complete his first shown subjugation, allowing Nue to carry him safely down from the sky 2.
Toad subdued	26	Used the ritual to practise close combat and discovered that forcing the delayed impact of Divergent Fist weakened his punch 26.
Chimera Shadow Garden completed	50 52	First activated Domain Expansion against the Remnant Star Society president’s double; its complete form strengthened his fusion Shikigami but caused Cursed Technique Burnout afterward 50 52 74.
Max Elephant, Rabbit Escape and Piercing Ox subdued	55	Used his existing Shikigami against Max Elephant, found the original Rabbit Escape among its copies, and met Piercing Ox’s charge head-on 55.
Black Flash first landed	71	Achieved the precisely timed strike while nearly exhausted against Scar; he could not reliably produce it at will 71.
Reverse Cursed Technique developed	70 79	Initially healed through Round Deer, then trained to perform the healing technique himself so he would be less dependent on Ten Shadows 70 79.
Self-assessed special grade	92	Judged his command of Cursed Energy, Domain Expansion and Reverse Cursed Technique sufficient for the Jujutsu Sorcerer rank; this is his own assessment 92.
Nine original Shikigami subdued	105	Counted every original Ten Shadows Shikigami except Mahoraga among those he had tamed; Mo Hei was not one of the original ten 105.
Cursed Technique Reversal: Light	146	Could fire an intense beam or coat himself in Light for extreme speed. The incomplete technique strained his body and could not be used alongside Ten Shadows 146.
Limitless and Adaptation gained	164 205 260	Gained Limitless and Mahoraga’s adaptation Wheel; their combination later gave him makeshift Six Eyes-like control, though his Six Eyes remained incomplete 205 228 258 260.
Maximum Technique: Zhengming unveiled	240	Used a refined Chimera Shadow Garden to summon the fused Shikigami at full strength with less strain 240.
Mahoraga subdued	248	A one-time strike from a Goddess-empowered white katana returned Mahoraga to his shadow as a subdued Shikigami, preserving his abilities and independent mind 248.

Background and History

Mo Bai died after being hit by a car while looking at his phone. A nameless Goddess sent him to Solaris with his body and memories intact, presenting his new power as the result of a lottery. She later admitted that she had chosen both Mo Bai and the Ten Shadows Technique deliberately because she wanted to watch how his story unfolded 1 160 243.

After arriving, Mo Bai befriended Rover and Lynae and enrolled at Star Torch Academy. His wish to protect them pushed him to develop a technique he had initially struggled just to survive using. In the Academy’s dark Sonoro, he defeated Mo Hei—a being formed from his negative thoughts and Cursed Energy—but accepted him as another part of himself rather than destroying him 2 6 24 41.

Mo Bai repeatedly clashed with the Remnant Star Society and fought Aleph-1 and Mahoraga. Although he had once insisted on putting survival first, he ultimately gave his life to save someone else; the Goddess then offered him a way back. After returning and subduing Mahoraga, he rejected the Goddess’s offer of further power, choosing to preserve his independence and return to his friends 50 71 160 248.

Appearance

Mo Bai wears a black coat that he kept even after it became tattered. His body has no Resonance Mark; he uses Cursed Energy instead 101 248.

• Resemblance to Mo Hei — Their faces and hair color are nearly alike, though Mo Hei wears longer hair 39 101.
• Later injury — He is seen missing an eye after his battle in Void Matter Space 169.

Personality

Mo Bai is skeptical, dry-humored and strongly protective of his own survival. He studies opponents, looks for practical advantages and does not insist on fighting fairly when someone’s life is at stake. He also dislikes owing favors and is prone to avoiding classes 1 35 50 75 87.

His attachment to his friends complicates that self-preserving outlook. He refuses to sacrifice his Shikigami for an easier victory and wants to protect Rover, but sometimes tries to shoulder danger alone. Rover challenges him to trust others, while Mo Bai comes to recognize both his selfishness and his tendency to mistake taking sole responsibility for helping 28 51 229 245 248.

Abilities and Skills

Ten Shadows Technique

Mo Bai summons Shikigami through shadows and can combine their traits into fusion beasts 2 31 51.

• Subjugation — An original Shikigami must be defeated in a valid ritual before he can command it; outside assistance does not count toward subjugation 2 55.
• Shadow movement and storage — He can move through shadows and store objects there. Stored weight burdens his body, and remaining inside shadow space is limited by its lack of oxygen 25 32.
• Animal-Form Fist — He channels Shikigami traits through his own body, including a Divine Dogs-inspired claw and Max Elephant-like force 55 68 93.
• Fusion — His creations include the flying Feathered Serpent, the five-Shikigami Etu and the regenerating Yamata no Orochi. Powerful fusions can consume substantial Cursed Energy 31 69 72.
• Original Shikigami — The nine he had subdued before Mahoraga were Divine Dogs, Nue, Great Serpent, Toad, Max Elephant, Rabbit Escape, Piercing Ox, Round Deer and Tiger Funeral 105.

Domain Expansion: Chimera Shadow Garden

His domain gives him control over its shadows and strengthens his Shikigami. He can produce multiple fusions and launch guaranteed-hit shadow blades; afterward, Cursed Technique Burnout can leave him reliant on physical combat and Cursed Energy reinforcement 52 74 94.

Cursed Energy and advanced techniques

• Reinforcement — Strengthens his strikes and body, though his early conversion and timing were inefficient 2 50.
• Black Flash — A powerful blow requiring near-perfect synchronization of impact and Cursed Energy; landing it has also replenished some of his depleted energy 71 164.
• Reverse Cursed Technique — He trained to heal himself independently after relying on Round Deer’s healing 59 70 79.
• Limitless — Uses techniques including Blue, Red and Hollow Technique: Purple. His incomplete Six Eyes-like control reduces energy costs but still has limits 205 228 230.
• Adaptation — Mahoraga’s Wheel helps him adjust to attacks and reduce the strain of techniques, though self-doubt has slowed that process 205 228.

Equipment and Items

• Swift Blade and Blackstone Weapons — Used in close combat and stored in his shadow; Moqu supplied additional weapons for training with Rover 50 54.
• Motorcycle — Stored and transported through his shadow space 25.
• Wish-Bearing Bell — Borrowed from Feixue to examine alternate versions of himself and obtain a white katana from one possible future 242.
• White katana — Required the Goddess’s permission and power to wield; its strike subdued Mahoraga 242 245 248.
• Cursed Tools in Mahoraga’s Wheel — Accessible to Mo Bai after Mahoraga’s subjugation 248 285.

Relationships

• Rover — Close friend and mentor who helped him enter the Academy, trained with him, and urged him to rely on his friends rather than face every danger alone 6 28 55 248.
• Mo Hei — Began as his hostile double, then became an independent friend and source of blunt advice. Mo Bai later severed their subordinate bond 39 41 79 284.
• Lynae — Academy friend whose teasing and arguments with Mo Bai reflect their closeness 6 25 87.
• Gabriella — Combat and weapons instructor recruited by Rover; helped Mo Bai learn to combine Shikigami abilities with his own fighting style 80 93 258.
• Moqu — Upperclassman who showed him around the Academy and later supplied Blackstone Weapons 17 35 54.
• Mahoraga — Former enemy and final Ten Shadows Shikigami. Subjugation ended his ability to attack Mo Bai, but not his independent will 228 248 285.
• The Goddess — Sent him to Solaris and arranged his powers for her own entertainment. Mo Bai accepted her help when necessary but rejected further gifts and her influence over his life 1 160 245 248.
