[After countless reviews of what had happened, searching through an ocean of fragmentary records, and making extremely discreet, roundabout inquiries with Masamichi Yaga and Satoru Gojo, you finally pieced together a rough understanding of the "Maximum Technique."]
[It was an extremely unusual realm.]
[It was the "endpoint" and "ultimate art" that could only barely be reached after developing and refining a single cursed technique with almost brutal intensity, squeezing it to its absolute limit.]
[It was by no means a simple accumulation of cursed energy, but more like a qualitative transformation born when a sorcerer's soul and their own cursed technique entered some kind of extreme resonance.]
[What made the Maximum Technique special was how harsh its requirements were-so harsh they could even be called unreasonable.]

[And Masamichi Yaga, who had spent decades honing Puppet Manipulation to its pinnacle, was likewise shut out.]
[At first, you had wondered whether it was a matter of compatibility with the cursed technique itself, but after rigorous consideration, you overturned that conclusion.]
