Pretty sure this is the first time we heard Mahoraga can adapt as many times the user wanted to.
How could dimensional slash not unique to Mahoraga who adapted to Infinity, somehow adaptation to Infinity can't be learned but dimensional slash can?
Why Sukuna even bothered to tell Mahoraga pursuing Blue and use Piercing Blood to prevent Purple in 235 when Mahoraga can just use dimensional slash friom distance?

235 explained CE Spark, dimensional slash should be not an exception to that rule so why Gojo just standing there? No sign of evasion, also off-screen?
Why Gojo claimed he might lose even against Sukuna without 10S when the entire fight more or less an exhibition why 10S is definite counter to Infinity user?
Why suddenly the point of the fight for Gojo is echoing Yorozu concern that is power of love to save loneliness? What happened to his concern to Megumi, Yuta and Yuji?

While we're at it, now Sukuna regular attack can ignore any kind of defense; possibly so fast it goes undetected even for Gojo. Can Yuji's soul swap and Yuta arsenal truly solve it?

It at least showed us

Spoiler for 236:

that Mahoraga can adapt to the same technique multiples times, since we were shown the wheel spinning on page 12, with Sukuna expressing satisfaction in the next panel. How Mahoraga works has always been a big mystery, and the reason Gojo failed is that he couldn't figure it out.

I think the chapter explained it pretty well. Mahoraga first adapted by changing the nature of its cursed energy, which is something Sukuna can't do. But the dimensional slash is, since it's basically a stronger version of his own CT. Mahoraga basically gave him a manual to make himself stronger.

As for why Gojo didn't evade, it's likely he thought it was just a last ditch attempt. He made the exact same mistake as Kusakabe: assuming Sukuna had no way to bypass his infinity anymore with Mahoraga gone.

I do agree Gojo wanking Sukuna so much is complete bullshit though. Sukuna 100% relied on the 10 shadows in this fight, Gojo really has zero way to know how things would have gone if he had had to fight with only his own abilities. Sure, he still has plenty of tricks up his sleeve, but there's no reason to assume he had one for Gojo. In fact, his reliance on Mahoraga to basically to teach him a technique to beat him would indicate otherwise.
