The flashes of cursed energy and explosions are brighter and more vibrant, restoring the original artistic intent.
The casting of Malevolent Shrine receives enhanced visual effects. The water splashes, the manifestation of the shrine itself, and the subsequent relentless slicing of the environment are sharper, darker, and visually overwhelming.

In the TV broadcast, Mahoraga appeared formidable but somewhat helpless once Sukuna figured out its mechanics. The repack paints a different picture. The added footage shows Mahoraga actively pushing Sukuna to use higher levels of speed and tactical positioning. Mahoraga’s physical strength is emphasized; its blows send shockwaves through Shibuya, proving that very few sorcerers in history could survive a single direct hit from the Shikigami. 2.
