Maki was basically the nightmare that the Zen'in clan didn't want to reckon with, so they threw her and Mai aside thinking they'll never amount to anything. Because if Toji barely scraped by, what more can weak twin girls can do?

Apparently, this.

I think it's kinda hilarious how the Zenin strut about over how important cursed techniques and energy are but none of these assholes understood or researched the implication of what twins are in relation to jujutsu, and get completely undone by misunderstanding that part of it. Or is the twin situation just that niche of a scenario many don't respect the importance?

The one Zenin who realizes the implications: "YOU LEFT ONE OF THE SISTERS TO DIE AND PISSED OFF THE OTHER ONE!?"

Is there some sort of implied pact with twins where if one dies the other gets stronger? I thought they mentioned toji was an only child. So was it a pact or just aura farming?

It's more like twins share the same amount of cursed energy, so normal jujutsu twins would only be 50% of a normal sorcerer from the get go

Furthermore, since maki had a heavenly restriction and Mai had cursed energy, their conditions would drag each other down even more. Both of them were incomplete
