No Chigiri !!exclusive!!: Causecurse Jashin

In modern storytelling, such oaths serve as cautionary metaphors. They warn against ideologies that demand cruelty as allegiance — cults, tyrannies, or even unchecked ambition. The chigiri reminds us that not all bonds ennoble. Some vows, however sacred they appear to the swearer, are merely pretty names for chains.

Literature and folklore are filled with echoes of this idea. Faustian bargains, the Ring of Gyges, or the priestesses of dark gods in Lovecraftian myth — all explore the same terrifying question: What would you sacrifice to transcend human limits? The answer given by Causecurse is brutal: your humanity itself.

Yet there is a deeper irony. A curse, by definition, seeks to harm others. But the Jashin no Chigiri always rebounds upon the swearer. In cutting others, the devotee is spiritually flayed. In cursing the world, they become the damned. The cause of the curse is the curse itself — a closed loop of self-destruction disguised as power.
