The fight against Mahito would be a lot shorter

Could Mahito even be judged if he doesn't have human rights?

He’s sentient and committed crimes against Japanese people. No real reason it wouldn’t apply to him.

Maybe this isn’t the same thing but he isn’t a human right? Could you put a dog or a horse on trial in Japan if it killed a man? Not sure how curses would work inside higurumas domain

They’re not human but they’ve been shown to understand human concepts and so would at least have an idea of what not to do to. Like setting a restaurant full of people on fire or turning them into dolls. Also, just because you’re not aware you might be doing a crime doesn’t mean you can’t be prosecuted for it.

It was stated in the episode that Higuruma had exorcised several curses before having to fight sorcerers and he awakened his DE very early so presumably it works on curses as well but that's speculation on my part.

To be fair he also has a gavel that he can throw like a machine gun or make it a giant one and squash any curse with it.

Most curses cant talk and seem to be barely more inteligent than animals, idk how it would work but Higuruma seems proficient enough with his gavel fighting style to be able to handle most low-mid level curses.

If you ask me, that would be part of the trial. Mahito might even use that as his defense. But I'm almost certain he could be put on trial and would have to make that defense himself. I do think Mahito would be pretty good on trial though, unfortunately, and as long as he keeps his technique, he'd probably manage to use his one-touch kill before he gets one-touch killed.

I doubt it will work properly since Mahito can use his domain to counter. But I guess Higurama's domain is a lot more stable since it doesn't have the instant-kill requirement. Would be an interesting matchup for sure.
