Shrine Seal

This seal is in the Land of Swamps, and contains the body of the evil spirit Mōryō.

The technique is composed of several stages. The first three seals will light the seal up, allow the user to levitate, and create a barrier. The barrier will repel things from the outside, although Mōryō managed to enter at the cost of his host Yomi's life. Also, the spheres inside the circle will begin to revolve around the circle.

The next nine seals will cause the gate-like seal leading to Mōryō's body to rise above the ground. This gate seems to be laid on its back.

The final six seals will release the seal on Mōryō's body, and it becomes accesible (to Mōryō). If Mōryō manages to enter the seal and take its body, neither the user nor Mōryō can leave the barrier until one takes over the other, which is decided by their chakra (Shion, however, knew nothing about this, instead believing it will seal the demon away). However, after reclaiming his body, Mōryō managed to break the barrier, as he mentions Yomi did not have the ability to do so.

The true efect of the sealing is that the user and the target being sealed will merge into one being. So that neither parties can utilize their abilities, the two minds are combined into one, although both retain their characteristics, which results in the merged being unable to do anything unless both parties agree. However, one may take over the other, as Mōryō did with Miroku (This gave to the rise of Mōryō in the first place, who was born from the darkness inside the hearts of people). Mōryō could not do the same with Shion due to the bell which contained the stone where Miroku sealed all of her powers into.

Trivia

 * This technique uses a brand of Hand Seals that are completely different from the standard twelve.
 * At the beginning of the movie, Yomi used a similar technique by calling out the names of the nine hand seals used in the second stage of this technique, "Min → Shin → Gan → Reppyo → Shōzen → Mika → Dan → Raku → Shō," to shatter the seal on the door that locked Mōryō's soul (This was in the Land of Demons).
