As for Shikama Doji being able to control all cursed gear, that is one major game changer! Believable as well, both through his link with the demons such as Asuramaru, and physical wielding the weapons as he can do such as telekinetically manipulating his scythes. Generating more than one copy is seemingly easier than ever for him too.

Sure we know everything Shikama Doji says should be taken with a grain of salt. Yet if there is a common link between demons (of which I’m not too sure, yes their mind realms could be a common tie but Asuramaru’s and Kiseki-o’s were different and can't imagine they would be visiting one another regularly), or not, Shikama Doji could certainly find a way to use other cursed gear regardless.

Anyway, maybe it is a result of possessing Shinoa as to why Shikama Doji can comfortably use more than one scythe as a starting point. He must be thrilled he has achieved one goal, fine so long as Saito can now use pre-planned checks, namely the dagger and Mahiru-no-Yo to counter this more easily dispensable power. Good call Saito choosing Mahiru as well, just as with Kimizuki he seems fond of having accomplished people on his side and not others, especially not those called Sika Madu XD

It’s strange, turning to Saito and backing him solely because he seems to be the only one aware of Shikama Doji’s true capabilities, and with a plan to overcome the first… and hope he does to defend others XD
