誅伏賜死
Higuruma's domain doesn't try to kill you directly. It puts you on trial. The environment becomes a courtroom where Higuruma prosecutes and his shikigami Judgeman serves as judge. The target is accused of a real crime, presented with real evidence, and must defend themselves through argument rather than fighting. Violence is physically impossible inside the courtroom. No cursed energy attacks, no punching the prosecutor, no running away. The only options are to argue your case or accept the verdict. If found guilty, the sentence ranges from losing your cursed technique to death, manifested as the Executioner's Sword, a blade that kills in one confirmed hit. It's a domain that turns combat into law. Strength, speed, technique mastery, none of it matters against a well-prepared prosecution.
