Hello ;P ## Personality Yuji is a young man of average height and appears to have a slender build when wearing baggy clothing, but actually has a lean and muscular physique. He also has relatively large light brown eyes and spiky pink hair (brownish blonde in the manga) that's styled in an undercut fashion. When becoming the vessel for Sukuna after eating his finger, he gains a second pair of eyes that only open when Sukuna controls his body along with his many markings. At the start of the series, Yuji wore a light-colored hooded jacket, high-cuffed black pants, and white shoes. However, in the anime, his pants were denim, and his shoes were bright red. When Yuji enrolled into Tokyo Jujutsu High, he began wearing his version of the uniform; a black long sleeve shirt resembling a gakuran over a red hoodie, black pants, and red shoes. He gains a noticeable scar between his two eyes and a smaller scar on his left labial commissure of the mouth during the Shibuya Incident. Both scars were caused by Mahito; the first one was inflicted when the cursed spirit surprise-attacked him with a blade on his fist,[3] and the second one was inflicted when Yuji battled him after his transformation.[4] He lost the second pair of eyes that only open when Sukuna controls his body along with his many markings after the latter transferred to Megumi as his new vessel.[5] Yuji also lost his left pinky finger when Sukuna ripped off and fed it to Megumi.[6] Yuji later lost his left ring finger so Yuta Okkotsu could copy Sukuna's technique.[7] Yuji's initial appearance in the manga.

Personality Yuji is a fair person who truly cares for not only his comrades but anyone he views as people with their own wills, despite how deep or shallow his connection to them is. He highly commends "the value of life," and to this end, he will ensure that others receive a "proper death". Because of this, he believes that it is morally unethical for him to take another human life, and tries to avoid any possibility of doing so unless as a last resort. He is also not without his more energetic and outgoing traits. Such as his frequent comedic moments where he was seen alongside Nobara gushing about Tokyo and his eagerness to train with Satoru Gojo or even when entertaining both Junpei Yoshino and his mother. Yuji is also highly passionate whenever he's focused on achieving certain goals and being quite stubborn when confronted about them, such as when Masamichi Yaga questioned why Yuji wanted to become a sorcerer. He is also quite naïve due to his inexperience in the world of cursed spirits and jujutsu sorcerers, but is shown to be a quick learner, capable of adapting to his surroundings and picking up how to use cursed energy quickly. Although usually composed, good-natured and friendly, Yuji can be angered quickly in the face of pure malice after witnessing firsthand the cruelty that curses were capable of, particularly Mahito's inhuman exploitation of Junpei. Yuji felt so profoundly disgusted that he felt a genuine desire to kill for the first time in his life and has a very intense yet focused hatred towards the cursed spirit. One of Yuji's defining traits is his willingness to sacrifice himself for others, triggered by his grandfather's last words to him to die surrounded by others. When he and Megumi were under the threat of being killed by a curse, Yuji impulsively swallowed Sukuna's finger to exorcise the curse and save them despite having met Megumi for the first time on that day. However, Yuji's initial belief's on the value of a life as well as "proper deaths" have been greatly challenged overtime, primarily during the Shibuya Incident. When Sukuna took possession of Yuji's body after forced consumption of his fingers, he proceeded to massacre countless innocents within the city save for Megumi, leaving Yuji traumatized from the event, wishing he was dead and blaming himself for all the deaths. This would only worsen as Yuji later witnessed Mahito kill Kento Nanami and mortally wound Nobara, making Yuji lose hope in being able to save anyone, before Aoi Todo's intervention. Eventually after a grueling battle between Mahito, Yuji spoke to the curse spirit admitting that they were alike in a way while also declaring pure and utter hatred for the latter, promising to kill Mahito: no matter how much time passed or how many times he is reborn, again and again with no need to justify his actions as anything but his nature, believing that some reasoning for his actions would eventually be found centuries after his own death. Following the incident in Shibuya, Yuji's disposition grew more solemn than before, as well as developing a changed ideology; that his purpose was to be a "cog" in the machine that functions to exorcise curses.[8] While still wanting to save and help people, Yuji was racked with unshakable guilt and felt that he deserved death, to the point he would even willingly take blame for the crimes committed by Sukuna when prompted by an enemy, only slightly relenting when speaking with Hiromi Higuruma. While Yuji still retained most of his traits of being good-natured and friendly, he would act closed off and abrasive towards someone unfamiliar as seen with Hana Kurusu, admitting that this behavior stemmed from fear of the latter replacing Nobara before apologizing later. Yuji's deep seated and focused hatred returned when Sukuna enacted on a plan to transfer his soul into Megumi, taking full possession of his friend's body. Yuji fought furiously against the King of Curses but to avail as he escaped off, with Yuji vowing that he'd "eat anything in order to kill Sukuna" as well as freeing Megumi. This would span into a month long preparation where Yuji trained himself to get strong enough to face him, culminating in the raid on the King of Curses. Despite everything, Yuji felt a sense of pity for Sukuna, to a point where he locked the sorcerer in his domain to wander through his childhood memories. During their conversation, Yuji's ideology changed once more, explaining that he initially believed life was about fulfilling a set role and that dying fulfilling that role would be a proper death. But this was no longer the case to Yuji, who now believed that simply living a mundane life would still produce value in the fragments of memories continuing to exist after death. Yuji further stated that the way someone died did not matter, but rather it was the idea of someone treating those lives as worthless that he could not forgive and that human beings are not tools born with a predetermined role, be it good or bad, and that there is no fundamental answer as to what makes one human, while also reaffirming that if Sukuna will not release Megumi's soul, then he will kill him.[9] Abilities and Powers Overview Yuji and Choso fighting (Anime) Yuji contending with a special grade incarnated cursed object. Overall Skill Level: Yuji is one of Tokyo Jujutsu High's most powerful and talented students. Satoru Gojo places him on the same level of potential as Yuta Okkotsu and Kinji Hakari, the three students who he believes will surpass his strength.[10] Despite having no connections to the jujutsu world before a few months prior to the Shibuya Incident, Yuji is able to contend with and defeat grade 1 and special grade curses. Yuji was gifted with superhuman physical abilities which he masterfully combines with his cursed energy. Yuji is also able to contain Sukuna with no ill effects, which allows him to perceive the shape of souls. This enables him to harm Mahito, whose control over the shape of his soul otherwise renders him immune to injury.[11] Poison Resistance: Since Yuji is the host to Sukuna, he has a resistance to all kinds of poison. Yuji will feel the pain from the poison, but he is mostly unaffected. This ability was first demonstrated during his fight with Junpei Yoshino when he could resist Moon Dregs' poison. It was demonstrated again when Yuji resisted the effects of Eso and Kechizu's Decay. Weapon Mastery: Yuji was not trained in the use of weapons; however, due to his physical power and talent, he can still become proficient with one quickly. Physical Prowess Yuji Itadori vs Yuji's martial arts skills. Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Yuji is one of the greatest, if not the greatest practitioner of martial arts in the series. His fighting prowess goes toe to toe with Aoi Todo, another extremely proficient martial artist. Yuji can effortlessly defeat a semi-grade 1 cursed spirit, and challenge special grade curses purely using martial arts and infusing his style with cursed energy. Yuji also possesses an impressive control over his attacks, being able to pause his punch a moment before impact and adjust his power into several counter blows. Yuji's fighting style is usually depicted as being very acrobatic with his movements, allowing him to strike his opponent in several different angles which also allow him to evade several oncoming attacks, essentially giving him great offensive and defensive capabilities. If the initial strike he is going for has been blocked, he is able to use high flying kicks, unorthodox punches, and even a knee strike to retaliate. He is also skilled in a martial arts style known as Taido Martial Arts, which grants him the ability to perform Knee Release, an ancient martial arts technique that eliminates starting movements and allows Yuji to release his knees, hips, and shoulders to guide him to his opponent's feet instead of falling down. By combining the technique mentioned above with Taido Martial Arts, Yuji can perform Manji Kick, where he uses the momentum to throw his right leg upwards and land a kick to his opponent's head. By adding cursed energy to this attack, it can harm cursed spirits. Yuji throwing a car at Awasaka (Anime) Yuji using his superhuman strength. Immense Strength: Yuji is quite powerful even without the usage of cursed energy, as he can destroy walls with ease,[12] throw a lead ball with enough force to bend a soccer goalpost,[13] and even throw a car.[14] As powerful as he is without cursed energy, especially when it comes to fighting, his exceptional strength can often be augmented to further levels with the usage of cursed energy, the Divergent Fist technique, and Black Flash, allowing him to exorcise cursed spirits. His unique strength has also been compared to Kento Nanami, a grade 1 sorcerer. He can even harm Hanami and Choso, two curses who have remarkable durability and toughness with the former being near-impossible to damage. During his fight with Sukuna, Yuji jumped twenty stories from two buildings to reach Sukuna after the latter took control over Megumi's body. Also in his fight with Sukuna, Yuji was able to kick a massive chunk of rubble towards Sukuna, momentarily stopping him. Immense Speed and Reflexes: Yuji is shown to have great speed and can finish a 50-meter track within 3 seconds, implying he can run at speeds of 60.02 km/h (37.3 mph).[15] He's also been shown to dodge the attacks of all five opposing sorcerers from the students from Kyoto Jujutsu High who tried to murder him. He is fast enough to evade Choso's Piercing Blood, which travels at the speed of sound, proving he has superb reflexes. During Yuji and Maki's fight against Sukuna while possessing Megumi, Yuji was able to keep up with their magnificent speed and reflexes despite being grievously wounded from his previous battle. Yuji injured by Pseudo-Geto (Anime) Yuji remaining conscious despite his severe injuries. Immense Durability: Yuji's durability surpasses the average sorcerer. He was able to continuously take hits from Choso during their fight and even Piercing Blood, an attack moving at the speed of sound didn't pierce Yuji immediately. He was also able to withstand numerous attacks from Mahito in his Instant Spirit Body of Distorted Killing form and continue fighting. After Sukuna took control over Megumi's body, he punched Yuji through multiple buildings and Yuji survived that, and afterwards was able to fight him and even survive Sukuna relentlessly attacking him with Dismantle and keep fighting him with Maki's help. Immense Stamina: Fitting his other superhuman capabilities, Yuji possesses a large amount of stamina and has often been shown continuing to fight despite grievous injuries for longer periods of time without rest, such as having his hand severed and his fingers disintegrated when battling the Finger Bearer, allowing for Megumi to escape with Nobara. He was also able to resist several poisonous stab wounds from when he tried to stop Junpei from hurting anyone at his school. His incredible stamina is especially shown afterwards when he sustained grievous injuries from Mahito but was able to continue attacking. Intelligence Proficient Learner: Yuji is a curious person and an earnest student. He is also good at progressing - being quick at Gojo's Watching Movies Training, and realizing Todo's advice quickly. According to Akutami, he is the best at cooking among the first years trio. He was able to master using martial arts alongside cursed energy and honed it to a level with which he can take on Special Grade curses. He was even able to use Black Flash four times in a row a short time after he had even learnt of its existence. Another testament to his development was his growing understanding of cursed energy within just a month prior to his battle against Sukuna. Through two sessions of replacement training with Atsuya Kusakabe and Yuta Okkotsu, aside from drastically improving his cursed energy reinforcement techniques, Yuji managed to grasp the complex nature of reverse cursed technique and learned how to use and perform it efficiently to heal himself. Cursed Energy Yuji's Cursed Energy (Anime) Yuji overflowing with cursed energy. Cursed Energy Capacity: Yuji's cursed energy originates from the parts of the special grade cursed object, Ryomen Sukuna. He doesn't have an innate technique, but he has shown great proficiency with learning how to control cursed energy. Yuji fails to use cursed energy against Gojo (Anime) Yuji failing to control his cursed energy. Cursed Energy Manipulation: Having been thrust into the jujutsu world without any prior knowledge about jujutsu, Yuji initially struggled to draw out or manipulate his cursed energy, being unable to attack curses without a cursed tool. Thanks to the various training regimens he underwent and having experienced Black Flash, Yuji better grasped the nature of cursed energy. By the time he had his rematch with Mahito during the Shibuya Incident, Yuji managed to land a Black Flash with maximum cursed energy, displaying the ability to use it practically at will, a feat said to be impossible for even Satoru Gojo. Yuji understanding how to flow his cursed energy (Anime) Yuji gains a better understanding of flowing cursed energy. After the Shibuya Incident, Yuji has added much greater finesse onto his cursed energy manipulation, combining cursed energy and superhuman physical abilities, with Choso describing him as a "demon god". In the month before fighting Sukuna, aside from improving his cursed energy reinforcement, Yuji managed to grasp the complex nature of reverse cursed technique and learned to perform it. Cursed Energy Reinforcement: Yuji primarily uses cursed energy combined with his martial arts skills and superhuman strength to reinforce his strikes, increasing their impact and allowing him to hurt curses. Divergent Fist Yuji uses Divergent Fist against a transfigured human. Divergent Fist (逕けい庭てい拳けん Keitei Ken?): After Yuji lands a punch on a target, his cursed energy flows after the strike and makes a stronger second impact. Divergent Fist was initially used when Yuji didn't have good control over his cursed energy, causing it to lag behind his attacks due to his superhuman speed.[16] During Yuji's fight with Aoi Todo in the Goodwill Event, the Kyoto third-year critiqued this attack and taught the first-year how to apply cursed energy at the exact moment his strikes hit by improving his understanding of how to flow cursed energy.[17] Since his fight with Choso, Yuji learned to use Divergent Fist at will, exploiting the delayed second impact's effect to confuse his opponents, leaving them open for his next attack.[18] Yuji using Black Flash (Anime) Yuji hits Hanami with Black Flash. Black Flash (黒こく閃せん Kokusen?): A phenomenon that occurs when the user applies cursed energy within 0.000001 seconds of a physical hit, creating a spatial distortion that causes their cursed energy to flash black and amplifies the destructive power of the strike to the power of 2.5.[19] Yuji is capable of performing Black Flash seven times in a row and has used it a total of eighteen times. Cursed Restrictions Binding Vows Binding Vow (Anime) Yuji had a binding vow with Sukuna. The King of Curses agreed to revive the boy after his apparent death under two conditions: ① Yuji would allow Sukuna to take over his body for one minute when the latter chants "Enchain" (契けい闊かつ Keikatsu?) and ② he would forget about the agreement. Yuji initially opposed the binding vow, making Sukuna promise that he wouldn't kill or hurt anyone during that minute. The boy still disagreed with the terms and instead had a battle against the King of Curses, where he'd allow the agreement to occur if he lost. Sukuna effortlessly defeated Yuji, forcing him into accepting the binding vow.[20] Cursed Techniques Innate Techniques Yuji erupts his blood on Sukuna's face Blood Manipulation (赤せっ血けつ操そう術じゅつ Sekketsu Sōjutsu?): After absorbing Cursed Womb: Death Painting No. 4-9, Yuji was engraved with Blood Manipulation, the inherited technique of the Kamo Clan.[21] Using this innate technique, Yuji can manipulate his own blood. Convergence (百びゃく斂れん Byakuren?): An extension technique that compresses and condenses the user's blood to its absolute limit with cursed energy. The blood orb created by this technique is required for using Piercing Blood and Supernova. Due to his inexperience, Yuji is unable to perform Convergence very well.[22] NoPicAvailable Piercing Blood (穿せん血けつ Senketsu?): After using Convergence, the user clasps their hands around the blood orb and fires a blood beam that travels at the speed of sound. Yuji used this technique against Sukuna during their fight, damaging his face.[22] Due to being unable to use Convergence, Yuji took a pressurized blood orb created by Choso in order to perform Piercing Blood.[23] Yuji using Piercing Blood Yuji uses Shrine Shrine (御み廚づ子し Mizushi?): After landing a Black Flash against Sukuna, the awakened state brought forth by the phenomenon drew out Sukuna's own cursed technique that was engraved in Yuji, albeit with some differences. Unlike Sukuna, Yuji creates dashed lines with scissors on anything he touches that are subsequently cut along those lines.[24] Due to only recently awakening the technique, Yuji's output for the technique is low.[25] Dismantle (解カイ Kai?): A slashing attack that can be used through touch or at range against cursed spirits and sorcerers to great effectiveness.[26] Unlike Sukuna, Yuji can only deliver this attack through physical contact. Through a binding vow, Yuji increased the technique's effectiveness at separating souls by narrowing its target to the boundary between Sukuna and Megumi's soul.[27] Yuji uses Dismantle Reverse Cursed Technique Yuji heals himself with reverse cursed technique Reverse Cursed Technique (反はん転てん術じゅつ式しき Hanten Jutsushiki?): Within the month before his battle against Sukuna, Yuji learned how to use reverse cursed technique to heal himself. Using reverse cursed technique, he regenerated his body after suffering a Cleave from Sukuna.[28] He later used it to heal the wounds he received from two of Sukuna's Dismantle slashes.[29] Anti-Domain Technique Yuji uses Simple Domain New Shadow Style: Simple Domain (シン・陰かげ流りゅう　簡かん易い領りょう域いき Shin Kageryū: Kan'i Ryōiki?): An anti-domain technique Yuji learned by switching souls with Atsuya Kusakabe.[30] It is used to disable a domain's guaranteed-hit effect by neutralizing its barrier. Yuji activated it in response to Sukuna's impromptu Malevolent Shrine, allowing him to resist its slashes for almost 99 seconds before finally crumbling.[31] Domain Expansion Yuji's domain environment Hometown Domain: Due to his replacement training with Kusakabe, Yuji learned the basics of barrier techniques, allowing him to cast domain expansion.[32] Yuji's domain expansion perfectly recreates his hometown, including landmarks familiar to him such as a local statue, a park that he played in, a department store, a farm he visited, etc.. It can even create animals such as crayfish, horses, and geese.[33][34] The sure-hit effect of this domain attacks Yuji's targets with his soul-rending Dismantle without requiring physical contact.[35] Equipment Cursed Tool Slaughter Demon (Anime) Slaughter Demon (屠と坐ざ魔ま Tozama?)[36]: A cursed tool given to Yuji by Satoru Gojo, originally belonging to Maki Zenin. It's effective against curses. Slaughter Demon was broken by a Finger Bearer, a special grade cursed spirit.[37] March 20, 2003[1] Age 15[1] Gender Male Height 173 cm (5'8")[2] Weight 80 kg (176 lb)[2] Black and Pink hair Megumi is a relatively tall and slim young man with fair skin and green eyes (dark-blue eyes in the anime adaptation) that slant upwards to denote his harsher and colder personality. He has uniquely styled black hair with long spikes that jut out in every direction around his head, resembling a sea-urchin (according to Hakari). When first meeting Megumi, Gojo noted the resemblance to his father Toji Fushiguro and Megumi himself has similar facial features and the same green eyes as his late father. Following the Shinjuku Showdown Arc and his separation from Sukuna, Megumi acquires three facial scars corresponding with the eyes of Sukuna's incarnated form: one scar below Megumi's left eye, and two scars where the eyes of Sukuna's "second face" were.[5] Megumi typically wears a standard Jujutsu High uniform with a dark blue jacket over a long-sleeved white dress shirt. His uniform pants match his jacket and only reach to just above his shins. He wears long black socks that cover his exposed ankles and finishes his outfit with low-top brown shoes. He also has a blue tracksuit for training. In middle school, Megumi wore the Saitama Urami East Junior High uniform, which consisted of a tan jacket over a white dress shirt with black pants and white sneakers. While sneaking inside the Gachinko Fight Club, Megumi wore a black hoodie and matching pants with his normal shoes as a disguise. Megumi in first grade. Megumi in first grade.

Personality Megumi irritated with Gojo Megumi irritated with Gojo's playfulness. Megumi is a very outwardly stoic, aloof, and calculating individual. He usually has a neutral facial expression that he rarely changes, making it appear as if he takes every situation seriously. This contrasts heavily with Yuji, Nobara, and Satoru's outgoing and goofy personalities, which often annoy Megumi. He's easily irritated and Yuji has noted that Megumi seems like he's always slightly angry.[6] Kid Megumi mad at Satoru (Anime) Megumi's resolute sternness even as a child. Even as a child, Megumi was very stern, earnest, and thoughtful, to the point where Satoru questioned if he was a first-grader when they first met. He didn't care for his father and assumed he and Tsumiki were abandoned. Megumi understood his situation with the Zenin clan and stood firm that he would only cooperate if Tsumiki were happy as well.[7] Megumi has always been annoyed by Satoru's attitude ever since they first met. He didn't care for the idea of becoming a sorcerer and became more jaded about it over time. By the time Megumi reached middle school, his impersonal attitude had fully set in. He thought becoming a jujutsu sorcerer would be pointless as he didn't see himself as someone who saves others. Uninterested in making friends, Megumi believed the basis of human interaction was avoiding violating someone else's dignity. He would beat up school bullies who ignored this rule to feed their egos, gaining a reputation as the biggest troublemaker in school as a result. Tsumiki wanted him to stop getting in fights but Megumi didn't listen and wrote her off. Megumi bullying the bullies (Anime) Megumi bullying the bullies in middle school. Megumi hated bad people with unearned pride just as much as he did good people who were too merciful to the former. Tsumiki was a perfect example of a good person to Megumi but he would disagree with and get annoyed with her anytime she scolded him for hurting someone bad. After Tsumiki fell into an unending sleep, Megumi realized he was acting immaturely. He knew Tsumiki was choosing to protect and that she believed that his lack of forgiveness was his way of showing kindness. After Tsumiki was cursed, Megumi was filled with regret and found the drive to become a sorcerer so he could save her.[8] Yuji and Megumi disagree over Tadashi (Anime) Megumi and Yuji disagreeing about retrieving the body of a criminal. As a jujutsu sorcerer, Megumi developed his sense of justice and is steadfast in his interpretation of right and wrong. Like his mentor, Megumi refuses to be influenced by traditions within the jujutsu world. Yuji should've been executed when they first met but Megumi ignored the rules and made a personal request to Satoru to protect him.[9] Megumi says he's not a hero (Anime) "I'm not a hero, I'm a jujutsu sorcerer." Megumi was unsure for a while if he made the correct decision. He was uncomfortable with the idea that he was someone who saved people. He believed saving the wrong people could hurt innocent people in the future, which made saving Yuji a contradictory decision.[10] Megumi cast aside his uncertainty when he came face-to-face with the consequences of his choice, Sukuna. He decided the only thing that's fair in life is how it's unfair to everyone and sorcerers can be a cog in karmic retribution. He wants more good people like Tsumiki to receive fairness and that's why he'll save people unfairly. Megumi realized that he didn't save Yuji because it was logical, he did it because he didn't want to see a good person die. He knows it was a selfish and emotional decision but he's okay with that because he's not a hero, he's a jujutsu sorcerer. That is why Megumi never regretted saving Yuji, not even for a second.[11] Megumi and Nobara agree to participate in the Goodwill Event (Anime) Megumi and Nobara vow to get stronger for their fallen friend. Being unable to save Yuji or Tadashi Okazaki during the detention center incident left Megumi pondering his role as a sorcerer. He asked Maki what kind of people she wanted to save, only to be annoyed by her response.[12] Megumi and Nobara weren't exactly friends at this point, but Yuji's premature demise brought them closer together. It was the first time either of them lost a friend in battle and they decided to honor him by participating in the Goodwill Event to honor their fallen friend, swearing to get stronger no matter what.[13] In response to Todo's classic "what kind of girls do you like?" question, Megumi said that he doesn't have a preference as long as his partner is compassionate. He was trying to de-escalate the situation but this only irritated Todo due to their opposing personalities. When it came to blows, despite being outmatched, Megumi never backed down.[14] Megumi didn't hold any resentment toward Todo and was uninterested in a rematch, which disappointed Panda.[15] Megumi rejecting Noritoshi (Anime) "I don't care if I'm right or wrong. I only believe in my conscience!" Megumi didn't have any loyalty to the Zenin clan so he didn't reciprocate Noritoshi Kamo's familiarity with him. He rejected Noritoshi's belief that as descendants of the Big Three Families, they were obligated to kill Sukuna's vessel. Megumi expressed that he didn't care about being right or wrong and acted only according to his conscience. He told Noritoshi that he would save people unfairly and if they disagree, they would have to agree to curse each other instead.[16] Megumi is too secretive (Anime) Megumi's secretive nature annoying Yuji and Nobara. Megumi was distant with Yuji and Nobara despite considering them his comrades and friends. He was so embarrassed when they visited his middle school that he couldn't speak properly. Yuji and Nobara felt Megumi never shared much with them and hassled him for about his secretiveness. Megumi even blushed when he was reunited with Takeda and was annoyed with Akari Nitta for making him the one to speak with the faculty member. He never shared information on Tsumiki's condition with any of them, Nobara didn't even know he had siblings.[17] Megumi comforted by his friends (Anime) Megumi finds comfort in being more open with his friends. Even when Megumi found out Tsumiki could be in danger, he initially refused to involve Yuji and Nobara. They assured him he didn't have to share everything but asked that he depend on them as his friends. This encouragement helped Megumi admit the truth about Tsumiki's condition and his concerns. Yuji and Nobara dismissed the danger of the mission and told Megumi he should've led with that information. Pleased with his comrades' willingness to help him, Megumi smiled.[18] Megumi decides against sacrificing himself (Anime) Megumi letting go of self-restraint and striving to win. Megumi, who lacks any sort of competitive edge, can feel insecure about his strength as a sorcerer. He made it a point to tell Yuji he would surpass him after the Goodwill Event.[19] Pressured by Yuji's rapid growth, he even went to Gojo for training when any interaction between them is a hassle for Megumi. Gojo made Megumi realize his mindset was holding him back from bringing out his best. He relied too heavily on a failsafe and only achieved his growth when he decided to be selfish and visualize a stronger future for himself. This aided Megumi in achieving domain expansion for the first time, while he was untethered and smiling like a madman.[20] Megumi asks Yuji to save him "So start by saving me." Megumi and Yuji have a shared guilt for accidentally incarnating Sukuna. They both accepted responsibility for Sukuna's rampage in Shibuya. While Yuji felt he couldn't return to Jujutsu High, Megumi believed that was a selfish route. He doesn't think anyone can judge jujutsu sorcerers so they must continually prove their existence by saving people. Megumi told Yuji he could start by saving him, a plea for help to rescue Tsumiki from the Culling Game.[21] Maki telling Megumi he's head of the Zenin Family Megumi's complete disinterest in becoming head of the Zenin clan. Megumi feels no loyalty or connection to the Zenin clan, treating Tsumiki as his family. The only member of the Zenin clan Megumi interacts with is Maki, and their relationship is more friendly than familial. Maki wanted Megumi to help her by becoming the head of the clan after Naobito's death but he was completely uninterested. Megumi's reserved personality immediately led him to reject the position, claiming it was too much of a hassle. He isn't very materialistic and social status isn't important to him either, so he couldn't care less about the fortune he'd receive. He told Maki he'd step down so she could lead the clan instead. Even after Maki pointed out several legitimate reasons why Megumi would be a more acceptable head, he continued to stubbornly push back simply because he didn't want to do it. It was only when Megumi realized how important it was to Maki that he accepted.[22] Megumi begs Kirara to listen Megumi's desperation to save his sister. While Megumi cares about protecting those close to him, that same concern doesn't extend to himself. He feels responsible for Sukuna so he doesn't allow Yuji or anyone else to express concern for him regarding the King of Curses. He and Yuji even argued because Megumi didn't want to hassle their senpai just for his own safety. He told Yuji that line of thinking is selfish and an annoying waste of time. Megumi's desperation to protect others, especially his sister, was on full display when he needed help from Hakari and Kirara. Megumi prostrated himself and begged for help. He even used his status as the head of the Zenin clan to win Hakari over.[23] Megumi eliminates Chizuru Hari Megumi trusting his judgement and maintaining his composure after killing his first human opponent. Unlike Yuji, Megumi had zero qualms about killing other humans in the Culling Game. Megumi's sole focus was saving his sister and he immediately conflicted with anyone who stood in his way. He even threatened to kill Remi, a weak woman, for leading him into an ambush. When Reggie attempted to recruit Megumi, he felt that Reggie and Remi were wasting his time and they almost instantly came to blows.[24][25] Megumi always figured Reggie and his group were always using Remi but she never realized it. When it became clear and she begged Megumi to help her, he told Remi that she was the type of trash who cares more about words than deeds.[26] After making his first ever human kill, Megumi remained calmed and trusted in his own judgment. Confident in himself and his allies, Megumi resolved to wave away any difficulties that crossed his path on the way to rescue his sister.[27] Megumi only put his cynicism and mistrust aside in the Culling Game when Fumihiko Takaba helped him. Fumihiko's eccentric personality reminded Megumi of Todo and he didn't laugh at his jokes, but they were still able to communicate and work together. Despite their clashing personalities, Megumi even felt comfortable asking Takaba to try and steal Hazenoki's points, viewing him as a potential ally for the future.[28] When Sukuna forcibly took possession of Megumi's body and forced him to kill Yorozu (who incarnated into Tsumiki's body), Megumi's soul had been plunged into despair losing his reason to fight and live, so much so that he could not bring himself to accept help from Yuji when the latter accessed the barrier between his and Sukuna's soul.[29] When speaking to Yuji's soul once more and hearing his friend understand his emotions while admitting that without him he would be lonely, Megumi regained enough will to use his technique to hold Sukuna in place for Yuji.[30] It was thanks to these efforts that Megumi grew back the resolve to reject Sukuna's attempts at demoralizing him further, and declared that he would return to living for others' sakes before the King of Curses was stripped away from his soul.[31] Abilities and Powers Overview Overall Skill Level: Megumi is a grade 2 sorcerer who possesses one of the highest potentials of any student at Jujutsu High regardless of age. He inherited the prized Ten Shadows Technique of the Zenin clan and is favored by the strongest sorcerer himself. Satoru believes that Megumi could become as strong as he is and has stated he likely possesses even more skill and potential than Yuji. Mai Zenin commended him as a genius who started school ranked grade 2.[32] Noritoshi Kamo mirrored the same sentiment, claiming Megumi's age is irrelevant because of his inherited technique, and that he was even more reliable than the drunk Head of the Zenin clan.[33] Even Sukuna took a special interest in Megumi due to his unique talents.[34][35] Megumi and Divine Dogs Megumi exorcising curses and navigating a mission early into his career. Megumi is an exceptionally focused person and a highly disciplined combatant. He excels at keeping his cool in even the direst situations. Of all Satoru's students, Megumi is the most level-headed and clever in his approach to every fight. This has translated into an expert degree of understanding when it comes to jujutsu and how to practically apply his own skills. By the time he met Yuji, Megumi was already capable of summoning several different shikigami and he had a solid grasp on the Ten Shadows Technique. When Satoru left Megumi without much direction in his assignment to track down Sukuna's finger at Yuji's school, he was still able to navigate the mission on his own. Megumi was able to nearly secure Sukuna's finger without issue, but Yuji and his friends accidentally complicated the mission and led to Megumi getting caught off guard by a giant cursed spirit that nearly incapacitated him.[36] Megumi escapes with detention facility with Nobara (Anime) Megumi fulfilling his assignment by rescuing Nobara while also giving Yuji a crucial signal. During the evacuation of the Eishu Detention Center, Megumi quickly recognized they had been caught in an unfavorable situation when they stepped into an incomplete domain. Even so, his rational line of thinking led him to use his shikigami to navigate the facility while leading his allies through it.[37] Megumi's composure was shaken upon being faced with a special grade curse, but he was able to regain focus and switch his priority to rescuing Nobara. Using his arsenal of shikigami, Megumi was able to track Nobara down and save her. He proved to be the connective crux of this mission, also able to give Yuji the signal to let out Sukuna in order to exorcise the special grade.[38] Great Serpent Megumi relying on his shikigami to contend with Sukuna. Megumi and Yuji's plan, however, did backfire and Sukuna was given temporary free rein over Yuji's body, leading to a fight between him and Megumi. While clearly outclassed, Megumi figured he could force Sukuna to repair Yuji's heart if he dragged out the fight long enough. Megumi and his shikigami were not powerful enough at this point to accomplish his goal, and Megumi's Great Serpent was destroyed as a result. While not fully successful, Sukuna was impressed by Megumi's power and even implied that he could've defeated the other special grade instead of fleeing.[39] This incident made Megumi realize what areas of his skill set he needed to improve on in order to become a stronger fighter. He and Nobara trained with Maki to increase their capabilities in armed and unarmed close combat.[40] It was at this time Megumi realized he could use his cursed technique in more inventive ways, such as storing weapons inside it so he can keep his hands free for summoning shikigami.[41] Megumi couldn't hope to stand up to Aoi Todo in their scuffle, but he undoubtedly increased his combat skills prior to the Goodwill Event.[42] Megumi vs Megumi fighting on even terms with the heir to the Kamo Family. Megumi fought on equal ground with Noritoshi Kamo during the Goodwill Event. Kamo is also someone who inherited a cursed technique passed down in the Big Three Sorcerer Families and is two years Megumi's senior.[43] Motivated to protect Yuji from Kamo's traditionalist ideals, Megumi pushed his opponent to the limit and could've come out victorious if not for Hanami's sudden invasion of the event.[44] In their joint struggle against Hanami, Megumi was able to deduce Hanami's weakness while fighting alongside Kamo and Inumaki.[45] He did his best to exploit Hanami's weaknesses and hold off the special grade while teaming up with Maki. They were unable to defeat Hanami but the duo did hold the special grade off long enough for reinforcements to arrive.[46] In addition, Megumi's deductions proved invaluable for his allies in their fights against Hanami.[47] Megumi vs Megumi contending with a special grade curse all on his own. As Megumi's physical skills continued to grow, the only thing holding him back from his true potential was his own mental restraints, as noted by his sensei. Once Megumi stopped relying on his last resort and let his imagination flow freely, he achieved greater growth in his abilities than ever before. Megumi unleashed Domain Expansion and like Sukuna believed he could, he defeated a special grade Finger Bearer with nothing but his own strength.[48][49] Megumi works well in a group and has always proven to be a valuable asset. His technique allows him to summon a variety of different aids to not only him, but his entire squad. For example, his Divine Dogs allows for easier tracking and Nue provides an option for attacking targets in the air. His value as a squad member was showcased a great deal in not only the Goodwill Event but the dire Shibuya Incident as well. Megumi had to work together with other sorcerers to survive the perilous battles in Shibuya. He was originally assigned to the Nanami Team where he had just as much of an understanding of the situation as Takuma Ino, who is significantly more experienced.[50] Yuji and Megumi attacking Awasaka (Anime) Megumi working together with Yuji to defeat an enemy curse user. As the operation to rescue Satoru began, Megumi teamed up with Yuji and Ino to take down barriers preventing sorcerers from reaching Shibuya Station. Megumi's Nue allowed Yuji and Ino to mount an assault on Shibuya C Tower where the barrier originated and they drew the curse user's guarding the curtain into a battle.[51] While Megumi initially struggled to find a rhythm fighting in tandem with Yuji,[52] they were able to work it out and defeat Jiro Awasaka, a heavily experienced curse user. Megumi deduced exactly how Awasaka's innate technique worked and created an effective plan that completely defeated the curse user.[53] Ino was heavily injured in his fight, but Megumi was able to rescue him from falling from the tower using Nue and then took him to Shoko to be healed. It was thanks to Megumi's efforts and the versatility of his shikigami that the curtain was taken down and Ino was rescued.[54][55] Megumi invading Dagon's domain (Anime) Megumi rescuing his allies from the sure-hit function of Dagon's domain. Megumi re-entered the incident and immediately saved the life of Maki, Naobito, and Nanami from the sure-hit of Dagon's domain expansion. He entered Dagon's domain willingly and created a physical hole inside the barrier so his allies could escape. His interference halted Dagon's relentless assault with Death Swarm, which would have surely killed all the sorcerers.[56] While everything didn't go quite as planned, Megumi's intervention saved the lives of his comrades.[57] He accidentally let in a reanimated Toji Zenin,[58] who easily defeated Dagon for them. Then Toji isolated Megumi from the rest of the team and the latter immediately realized the amount of danger he was in.[59] However, he was able to survive against the same monstrous physical prowess that overpowered Ino and Dagon. Megumi remained calm and focused, allowing him to stall for time with every move he made. He rationally accepted that he couldn't escape the fight without an injury, so he accounted for Shoko's presence and decided to try and only suffer an injury he could manage.[60] Megumi summons Mahoraga (Anime) Megumi attempting to take his enemy with him instead of simply succumbing to injury. Without anyone else to watch his back, Megumi was exhausted and susceptible to a surprise attack after consecutive fights. Haruta Shigemo slashed him across the back and heavily injured Megumi.[61] Even on his last legs, Megumi was able to keep his opponent at bay and come up with a plan, something Shigemo commended him for.[62] Rather than allow himself to bleed out or get killed, Megumi decided to summon the unstoppable Mahoraga to attack both of them.[63] Interested in the young sorcerer, Sukuna rescued Megumi from Mahoraga, proving that his decision not to give up was correct one.[64][65] His injuries left Megumi inactive for the rest of the Shibuya Incident, but his value was heavily showcased. Megumi was able to save his allies on numerous occasions and he helped defeat several key adversaries before he was incapacitated. Megumi restrains Kirara Megumi outsmarts Kirara by using their own technique against them. Motivated by the goal of rescuing Tsumiki from the Culling Game, Megumi continued to advance the applications of his cursed technique, which he displayed while skillfully infiltrating the Gachinko Fight Club. He gathered information on Hakari's hideout and put himself and Yuji in positions to complete their task of recruiting him without drawing too much suspicion. When he and Panda were compromised by Kirara Hoshi, a third-year Jujutsu High student, Megumi acted quickly so that they didn't derail the mission.[66] Kirara's technique is particularly complex and most people can't even begin to understand how it functions, but Megumi was able to completely deduce the workings of Love Rendezvous.[67] Not only that, but he was able to outsmart Kirara using their own technique and restrained them so he could appeal to them as an ally rather than an enemy.[68] Megumi attacks Chizuru Hari Megumi eliminating an enemy Culling Game player. The culmination of Megumi's developments as a combatant was heavily showcased in the Culling Game, a deadly battle royale between sorcerers. He contended with enemy sorcerers in the Tokyo No. 1 Colony after it had already reached a deadlocked point where only some of the strongest players remained. Overpowering Remi was easy for Megumi[69] and he was even able to survive the four-on-one ambush she led him into.[70] Not only did Megumi survive an onslaught of explosions from Reggie Star and Iori Hazenoki, but he eliminated Chizuru Hari, a player with twenty-eight points in the process. Megumi easily overpowered Hari on two separate occasions using a combination of jujutsu and taijutsu. In the second confrontation, Megumi took Hari's life before the latter could even use his cursed technique.[71] Megumi slashes Reggie Megumi using all his collective abilities to overcome Reggie. By cooperating with Fumihiko Takaba, Megumi was able to execute a plan to separate Reggie from Hazenoki. Megumi was severely worn down from the ambush but he was eventually able to get Reggie one-on-one and fight on even terms with the incarnated sorcerer.[72] Reggie was a very tough opponent for Megumi, he had more experience as a sorcerer from the past and he possessed an analytical mind that could match Megumi's. Not only that, but Reggie was in peak physical condition compared to his tattered opponent. Despite all Reggie's advantages, Megumi used everything in his arsenal to match him every step of the way, forcing Reggie to recognize his strength.[73][74] Megumi's shikigami helped him deduce Reggie's technique[75] and he used several deceptions to outsmart Reggie, something Reggie himself specialized at.[76] Megumi proved to be more clever and was able to think several steps ahead of Reggie. He led Reggie into a mental trap where he was thoroughly convinced Megumi couldn't deal a finishing blow. Reggie was severely mistaken and Megumi used this to surprise attack Reggie with Divine Dog after using several near-fight-ending strategies as mere diversions. In spite of his depleted stamina and all the other disadvantages he was faced with, Megumi was able to use all of his accumulated experience to definitively defeat Reggie.[77][78] Intelligence Megumi explaining curses to Yuji (Anime) Megumi expertly explaining jujutsu to the uninitiated. Immense Tactical Intellect: Megumi's most reliable and imposing asset as a sorcerer is his mind. He is a young genius, a cerebral fighter whose focus in a battle is to outwit his opponent rather than overpower them. Megumi assesses all threats logically and deals with them in a strategic manner. Using his advanced deducting reasoning skills, Megumi thinks of clever ways to deal with every situation as it comes. This is regularly showcased by Megumi's consistent talent for deducing his opponent's strengths and weaknesses in the heat of battle. Megumi possesses a wealth of knowledge about jujutsu and an expert-level understanding of it, equal to that of full-fledged sorcerers. As a student, Megumi lacks an excess of battle experience but he makes up for the difference with his tactical mindset. His fundamental understanding of sorcery enables him to take the lead on missions, or even go out on his own without much guidance. Megumi was able to give a solid explanation of the basics of curses to Yuji, someone totally uninitiated.[79] In the detention center, Megumi was the only one of Satoru's students who could recognize a domain and assess its threat level while also taking into account its incompletion.[80] Noritoshi faked out by a shikigami (Anime) Megumi uses a shikigami on its last legs to create an opening. Megumi's jujutsu knowledge extends to reading the behavior of fellow sorcerers. Megumi figured out the Kyoto Team's objective during the Goodwill Event by tracking their movements. Fully aware of how sorcerers tend to view Sukuna's vessel, Megumi quickly realized the Kyoto Team was trying to assassinate his ally.[81] As a former associate of one of the Big Three Families, Megumi had prior knowledge of Blood Manipulation before he fought with Kamo. Quickly after witnessing Flowing Red Scale in action, Megumi noticed his opponent was essentially doping.[82] In order to deal with Kamo's boost in speed, Megumi took a tactical approach. He used a Toad on its last legs to distract Kamo and then took advantage of the time gained from this to summon Max Elephant. By using Max Elephant to flood the area with water, Kamo's physical advantage was nullified and he was forced outside into an open space where Nue could capitalize.[83] Megumi telling Todo about Hanami (Anime) Megumi passing on information he ascertained about Hanami's weakness. Megumi generally looks for an opponent's shortcomings to exploit after he's ascertained their abilities. He was able to find the weak point in Hanami's hard shell after noticing that it was invulnerable to all attacks except for Kamo's Piercing Blood on its eye branches. Megumi considered the possibility Kamo was holding back his strength in their own duel, but he confirmed Hanami's weakness by attacking the eye branches himself.[84] He was unable to use this information to bring down Hanami, but he knew it was important to pass it down to his allies that would encounter the special grade curse later.[47] Megumi also possesses adept analytical skills. This helped him navigate the mystery of the Yasohachi Bridge related deaths. He collected information with his team and tried out several different hypotheses until they eventually located the curse's barrier. When faced with the curse itself, Megumi understood logically that it was pointless to think about its behavior too much. However, upon seeing a Finger Bearer emerge, Megumi pondered it just enough to figure out Sukuna's influence was the catalyst for the deaths.[85] Inverse maximum and minimum limit Megumi accurately deducing the details of Awasaka's Inverse technique. Megumi's intellectual skills are what empowered him to survive Shibuya. He figured out the mechanics of Awasaka's Inverse technique despite its precise mechanics not being apparent at first glance. It initially appeared as if Awasaka could nullify damage, but Megumi knew that technique would be too powerful and used a bluff to get a gauge for his strength. He got Awasaka to admit he couldn't defeat Satoru Gojo and this helped Megumi narrow down his theories.[86] He figured that something like Inverse would be difficult to use on complex techniques like the Limitless. Not only did Megumi eventually deduce the exact details of Inverse, but its upper and lower limits as well. Once he figured that out, Megumi utilized a simple strategy where he and Yuji combined weak and strong blows. This was an effective countermeasure that best utilized their teamwork and it brought down Awasaka quickly.[87] Megumi opening a hole in Dagon's Domain (Anime) Megumi creating a hole in Dagon's domain rather than overtaking it. Megumi's advanced understanding of jujutsu enabled him to effectively counter Dagon's Horizon of the Captivating Skhanda to rescue his allies from sure defeat. He was aware that using a domain, even an incomplete one, inside another domain would nullify its user's sure-hit effect. He also understood that his domain would never overtake his opponent's and decided to focus on creating a hole in the barrier instead. By deluding Dagon into believing he was engaging in a domain tug-of-war, Megumi bought himself enough time to create the escape hole for his team.[88] Megumi counterattacks Toji (Anime) Megumi redirects Toji's attack to a non-vital area. Faced with an opponent he couldn't physically hope to defeat, Megumi had to rely on his analytical skills. He accurately assessed Toji's monstrous threat and planned accordingly. He was aware he couldn't run from Toji forever and decided to deliberately allow himself to be hit. He focused on redirecting Toji's attack to a non-vital area on his body and achieved this by narrowing the options for his opponent's approach. Megumi gauded Toji into attacking him straight-on and then compromised his footing on the approach using his shadow. Megumi's clever thinking allowed him to contain his injury to something that could be healed later and it allowed him to get ahold of his much faster opponent.[89] One of Megumi's most reliable skills is his ability to focus on deducing opposing cursed techniques while fighting them. As he did with Inverse, Megumi was able to understand and accurately theorize about Kirara Hoshi's Love Rendezvous as well. Kirara's technique is a very technical ability that's far more difficult to understand than Inverse. By collecting information as the fight began, Megumi noticed that Kirara could repel anything that approached them and they could make things attract to one another. He began working on his theory by testing what could and couldn't approach Kirara, summoning numerous rabbits to cover the battlefield. Using Rabbit Escape helped Megumi physically see what areas around them could cover and he used his astute memory to take it in quickly. Working from there, Megumi discovered Kirara's technique marked him and all his shikigami. The markings led him to theorize the technique was based on a constellation. Thanks to his experience stargazing with Tsumiki, Megumi accurately guessed that Love Rendezvous was based on the Southern Cross constellation. Megumi wasn't sure, but by stating it with confidence, he tricked Kirara into confirming it with their reaction. Their surprised facial expression confirmed Megumi's theory and Kirara expected him to figure out their technique at that point. Rabbit Escape marked by Kirara Megumi using his shikigami to help deduce the mechanics of a cursed technique. Even while under more pressure from Kirara, not only did Megumi fill the conditions to approach them, but he deluded Kirara into believing all his shikigami had been dispelled. In actuality, Megumi jammed Divine Dog against a wall so it wouldn't be attracted to him and maneuvered his body so that it would only be free once Kirara was between them. Once Megumi let Divine Dog loose, Kirara's technique attracted the shikigami right to them. Megumi not only deduced the complex technique but he even used its functions to defeat its user.[90] Megumi guesses the Southern Cross Megumi getting Kirara to confirm his theory using body language. The culmination of all Megumi's mental abilities was on display when he was pushed to his limit fighting Reggie Star. Compared to Love Rendezvous, Reggie's Contractual Re-Creation was much more straightforward and easy for Megumi to figure out. Figuring water was a natural countermeasure to Reggie's receipts, Megumi's initial strategy was to distract Reggie with other shikigami to give Max Elephant an opening to douse Reggie. However, Reggie was a cerebral fighter as well and had more experience. Reggie caught Megumi in a few verbal traps with his deceptions, so Megumi decided he needed to do the same.[91] Max Elephant drops on Reggie Megumi makes clever use of the shadows above Reggie to drop Max Elephant on him. The key to victory for Megumi was to deceive his far more deceitful enemy by thinking several steps ahead of him. Megumi led Reggie to underestimate him by playing into the notion that he didn't have any big moves. Then he trapped Reggie inside his domain by using a gymnasium to enclose the incomplete barrier and completely took him by surprise.[92] However, Reggie was crafty and turned the conditions of the domain against Megumi, forcing him to carry tons of weight. Megumi countered by making clever use of the shadows of the domain above Reggie to drop the heavy shikigami right on top him while dousing him in water at the same time.[93] Additionally, Megumi led Reggie to believe that Divine Dog was destroyed and couldn't be resummoned in their fight. Then Megumi used Chimera Shadow Garden and dropped Reggie into a pool of water, two potential fight-ending moves. Reggie survived both, leading him to believe Megumi was desperate and out of trump cards. Unafraid of Megumi's other shikigami, Reggie thought Megumi's only deception was engaging in a taijutsu fight while fully intending to summon something other than Divine Dog. The true deception was that Megumi could summon Divine Dog all along, allowing it to take Reggie by surprise and deal the fight-ending blow.[94][95] Physical Prowess Megumi vs "A shikigami user who isn't afraid to mix it up!" Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Megumi is a strong fighter who has never been afraid to get in close to hit his opponents. He's always been stronger than normal people his age, able to effortlessly beat down a human pile of bullies on his own.[96] In one of his earliest missions, Megumi was already strong enough to destroy a curse with just the swipe of his bare hands.[97] Megumi has a fast and graceful style of fighting that's evidence of his comfort in close combat. However, by sorcerer standards, Megumi was still weak at close range when faced with dangerous threats, especially without the help of his shikigami.[98] Sukuna was impressed by Megumi's willingness to engage in hand-to-hand combat despite being a shikigami user but the King of Curses easily overpowered Megumi even while he was supported by shikigami.[99] Maki trained Megumi to be more reliable in close combat but he prefers to supplement himself with weaponry rather than fight unarmed. Megumi only truly excels at hand-to-hand combat while his domain boosts his cursed energy reinforcement. When his sword was broken by the Finger Bearer, Megumi rapidly summoned shikigami alongside his taijutsu to overpower the special grade.[100] The same occurred when Megumi used shadow clones in the domain to barrage Reggie with combinations of punches, flying kicks, and elbows.[101] Megumi & Maki vs Megumi comfortably swapping weapons with Maki mid-fight. Expert Weapons Specialist: Megumi was trained by Maki, the best cursed tool user at Jujutsu High, to use a variety of different weapons. He can keep cursed tools in his shadow, so Megumi is capable of swapping out multiple weapons for himself at any time.[102] Maki began by teaching Megumi with a polearm he quickly became comfortable with,[103] and after nearly two months of training, Megumi was able to use a pair of tonfa for the Goodwill Event.[104] In his fight with Kamo, Megumi was able to make effective use of the tonfa, especially on the defensive, using them to block Kamo's enhanced strength until they were broken.[105] Megumi attacking the bridge curse (Anime) Megumi utilizing his preferred choice of weaponry. In a life or death encounter, instead of using blunt weapons, Megumi will generally arm himself with one handed-swords that are lightweight and easy to store if he needs to free up his hands to summon shikigami. He wielded his signature black blade with great speed and efficiency, able to land two blows on Hanami with it.[106][107] He also hit Hanami with Playful Cloud after swapping weapons with Maki mid-fight, displaying Megumi's advanced weapon dexterity.[108] Using his black blade, Megumi also destroyed numerous heads of the Yasohachi Bridge curse in quick succession with great speed and skill.[109] Megumi's current weapon of choice is another one-handed blade he still incorporates while fighting at close range. He fights gracefully and in a crude manner depending on the situation, making use of both the double-edged blade and the back of the handle to injure his opponents. In combination with a barrage of Yuji's punches, Megumi pummeled Awasaka with the blunt side of his sword.[110] Megumi eliminated Chizuru Hari from the Culling Game by smashing his face with the circular-shaped hilt of the sword before killing Hari with a brutal slash to the head.[111] Up against Reggie, who was the superior taijutsu specialist, Megumi continued to use his swordplay to supplement his close combat skills throughout their entire fight.[112] Aoi vs Megumi withstanding a direct assault from Todo. Advanced Endurance: Megumi is especially tough for a human being, with high pain tolerance, exceptional stamina, and especially impressive durability. He's shown his toughness on numerous occasions where he was able to withstand a beating and survived the battle, sometimes even overcoming his own exhaustion to achieve victory. Megumi can survive direct attacks from even special grade cursed spirits. He suffered a beatdown at the hands of Sukuna without any major injuries.[113] Todo also overpowered Megumi in a similar fashion, but in both cases, Megumi never passed out and he continuously refused to back down.[114] Megumi satisfied with Domain Expansion (Anime) Megumi undeterred by injury during a heated battle. Hanami struck Megumi with a cursed bud that drained his cursed energy and injured his gut, but Megumi remained standing and was willing to continue fighting.[115] In his fight with the Finger Bearer, Megumi suffered serious head trauma and was knocked unconscious only for a few moments. Despite the severity of his injuries and his depleted stamina, Megumi pushed himself to the limit and exorcised the curse, although he passed out right after.[116] When he allowed himself to be stabbed by Toji, Megumi barely winced from the pain despite his abdomen getting punctured.[117] When he was grievously injured by Shigemo, Megumi still managed to muster up enough strength to summon Mahoraga before he bled out.[118] In the Tokyo No. 1 Colony, Megumi was hit by several explosions and was in rough shape after getting ambushed by Reggie and Hazenoki.[119] Megumi fought through his exhaustion and was able to ignore his injuries long enough to defeat Reggie, who was entirely refreshed with full stamina at the start of their fight.[120] Cursed Energy Cursed Energy Capacity: While not on the level of a special grade, Megumi has a very high volume of cursed energy. He's constantly summoning shikigami while also reinforcing his body with cursed energy in battle. Megumi displayed immense reserves of cursed energy in numerous drawn-out battles while rarely fully exhausting himself. He can summon up to three shikigami at the same time and uses multiple summonings in every fight. Megumi prepares to summon Mahoraga against Sukuna (Anime) Megumi's swelling cursed energy. Megumi's cursed energy was running low against Sukuna after using several shikigami in the detention center and in their fight, but he was still capable of summoning Mahoraga if need be. Like the detention center incident, Megumi used a high volume of shikigami during the Goodwill Event and still didn't fully exhaust himself by the end of his fight with Hanami. A testament to Megumi's overall cursed energy is his ability to conjure a domain, which requires a massive amount of it. In Shibuya, Megumi used shikigami before and even after casting his domain without expending himself completely. A similar feat was achieved against Reggie, where Megumi used Max Elephant alongside other shikigami. He usually uses Max Elephant alone because it consumes a lot of cursed energy, but he still had enough to cast his domain afterward. Even after dispelling his domain, Megumi could still summon Divine Dog: Totality with the last of cursed energy. Cursed Technique Inherited Technique Megumi exorcises the Finger Bearer (Anime) Ten Shadows Technique (十と種くさの影かげ法ぼう術じゅつ Tokusa no Kage Bōjutsu?): A technique passed down in the Zenin Family which Megumi inherited, allowing him to summon up to ten potential shikigami using his shadows as an intermediary. It also grants the user overall manipulation of shadows, allowing Megumi to hide in shadows or store objects within his own shadow. Divine Dogs (玉ぎょく犬けん Gyokuken?): Twin canine shikigami with powerful noses for tracking and lethal fangs and claws for devouring curses.[121] The white dog was destroyed by a Finger Bearer but its abilities were inherited by its black twin. Divine Dogs (Anime) Divine Dog: Totality (玉ぎょく犬けん「渾こん」 Gyokuken・Kon?): An improved version of the black Divine Dog that incorporates the power of its fallen white twin. Totality is strong enough to content with special grade cursed spirits, making it Megumi's strongest offensive shikigami. Divine Dog Totality (Anime) Nue (鵺ぬえ Nue?)[122]: A winged shikigami armed with electro-shock wings that can carry people short distances. Megumi mainly uses Nue for scouting or to support another shikigami using its mobility. Megumi summons Nue against Sukuna (Anime) Great Serpent (大蛇オロチ Orochi?)[123]: A gigantic snake shikigami that was used to ensnare Megumi's targets. It was capable of destroying low-level curses but only bound Sukuna momentarily before being destroyed. It is currently unknown which other shikigami inherited its power. Great Serpent (Anime) Toad (蝦が蟇ま Gama?): A large toad shikigami with a long and powerful tongue that can grab people and pull them through the air. Toad's tongue can be used to pull Megumi or his allies to safety and then carry an entire person in its mouth if need be. Megumi's Toad rescues Nobara (Anime) The Well's Unknown Abyss (不知井底せいていしらず Seiteishirazu?): An extension technique that combines Toad and Nue to summon numerous winged toads that support Megumi in battle. Any number of these winged toads can be destroyed without Megumi losing the ability to summon Nue or Toad.[124] Bottomless Well (Anime) Max Elephant (満ばん象しょう Banshō?): An elephant shikigami that Megumi dominated just before the Goodwill Event. Max Elephant has the ability to produce a massive volume of water from its trunk and its weight can be used offensively as well. Max Elephant (Anime) Rabbit Escape (脱だっ兎と Datto?): A swarm of rabbit shikigami that Megumi uses as a distraction or to help him figure out his enemies abilities. Like the Well's Unknown Abyss, rabbits can be destroyed without any repercussions, allowing Megumi to spawn as many as he needs. Rabbit Escape (Anime) Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga (八やつ握かの剣つるぎ異い戒かい神しん将しょう魔ま虚こ羅ら Yatsuka-no-Tsurugi Ikaishinshō Makora?): The most powerful uncontrollable shikigami that the Ten Shadows Technique can produce. Not a single user of the technique has ever been able to tame Mahoraga, including Megumi. He only threatens to summon it as a trump card if he feels he's going to lose a battle anyway, releasing it to attack both him and his opponent. Megumi summons Mahoraga (Anime) Domain Expansion Fushiguro's Chimera Shadow Garden (Anime) Chimera Shadow Garden (嵌かん合ごう暗あん翳えい庭てい Kangō An'eitei?): A domain that floods the area with fluid shadows that can rapidly produce any shikigami Megumi desires. Megumi's domain is incomplete and doesn't have a sure-hit function, but the Ten Shadows Technique is improved to 120% of its potential.[125] This allows Megumi to produce clones of himself from the shadows as well as shikigami. Megumi is unable to produce a barrier around the domain and must overlap an indoor space to forcibly enclose his domain to trap his target inside. Megumi uses Chimera Shadow Garden against Reggie Equipment Conventional Weaponry Megumi practicing using a polearm (Anime) While training with Maki, Megumi received a polearm to practice armed combat with. It is implied to be one of several weapons Maki trained Megumi to use to increase his close-range combat capabilities. Megumi standing off with Noritoshi (Anime) Megumi used wooden tonfas during the Goodwill Event. He reinforced them with cursed energy and was skillful enough with them to deflect arrows and fight on even terms with Kamo. However, they were both broken when Megumi was trying to defend against Kamo's enhanced strength. Cursed Tools Megumi's black sword (Anime) Megumi's go-to cursed tool was originally a single-edged sword with a jet-black blade. It was lightweight and easy to conceal in Megumi's shadow. He first used it against Hanami, who commented that it was a stronger and more durable weapon than Kasumi Miwa's katana. Megumi used it again to exorcise the Yasohachi Bridge curse but it was shattered in the subsequent battle against a Finger Bearer. Megumi hits Hanami with Playful Cloud (Anime) Playful Cloud (游ゆう雲うん Yū-un?): A special grade cursed tool that embodies pure, solid power. Megumi kept it in his shadow on Maki's request and gave it to her on two separate occasions. He also swapped weapons with Maki during their fight with Hanami and used Playful Cloud to strike the special grade curse. Megumi admittedly doesn't feel comfortable using the three-section staff. Megumi threatens Reggie Megumi's current signature weapon is another lightweight sword, this time with a double-edged blade and a ring-shaped pommel. It has a black handle and the bottom of the blade is wrapped in bandages. Megumi first used this blade against Awasaka after replacing the black sword. He has used it in several battles since that point, including against Reggie where it was a constant staple in Megumi's offense. Human Birthday December 22, 2002[1] Age 15[1] 16[2] Gender Male Height 175 cm (5'9")[3] Weight 60 kg (132 lbs)[4] Hair Color Black Eye Color Dark Blue (Anime) Nobara is a girl of average height with a slim figure. She has mid-length brown hair that reaches to her neck that is styled with bangs that cover the right side of her forehead. Nobara has orange eyes, long eyelashes and thin eyebrows of the same color. After sustaining a near-fatal injury from Mahito, she now has an eyepatch covering her left eye.[3] Nobara's jujutsu school uniform consists of a dark blue gakuran-style top (a button-down jacket) and a long matching skirt that reaches to just above her knees. She also sports black pantyhose and brown shoes along with her signature brown belt that holds her tools for jujutsu. As someone who enjoys dressing up, Nobara has several different outfits. She didn't have a tracksuit prior to enrolling at Jujutsu High and bought one shortly after. The tracksuit included a white and blue hoodie accented with a flower pattern, black tights, and white shoes.[4] Nobara as a child. Nobara as a child. Nobara in the manga (gray). Nobara in the manga (gray). Nobara's eyepatch. Nobara's eyepatch. Personality Nobara staying true to herself (Anime) "It's to stay true to myself." Nobara is a confident and brash young woman with an unshakable character. More than anything, Nobara is determined to stay true to herself no matter what.[5] She takes great pride in being both a pretty girl and a strong fighter, refusing to let anyone influence her.[6] Initially, Nobara can appear to be a very obnoxious and arrogant person. She first introduced herself to Yuji and Megumi by expressing how inferior they were and argued with Yuji for the greater part of their first mission together.[7] Despite her abrasive attitude, Nobara is actually an incredibly caring and dutiful person, but would never let most people see that side of her. After fighting alongside each other on several missions, Yuji and Megumi grew to become Nobara's closest allies. Nobara saying goodbye to Fumi (Anime) Nobara leaves her village behind but promises to reunite with Fumi and Saori someday. Even from a young age, Nobara was outspoken and different from everyone else in her small town.[8] She felt everyone was crazy and was determined to trade the small countryside to the big city. Nobara was only ever drawn to outsiders who moved into the village like Fumi and Saori, especially the latter. She looked up to Saori to a great degree and was disheartened when she was forced out of the neighborhood. Saori leaving made Nobara want to escape the village more and aspired to meet Saori again one day. Before attending Jujutsu High, Nobara made a promise to Fumi that the three of them would reunite in Tokyo.[9] Staying true to who she is, Nobara carries herself confidently as a jujutsu sorcerer. Whenever Yuji and Megumi tend to be decisive, Nobara is willing to take charge even if the boys don't like it. While they're prone to panic in some situations, Nobara is able to remain relatively level-headed regardless of what's happening. Nobara loves joking around in civil situations and is a huge trash talker in combative ones, no matter who it is. Among all her peers, Nobara looks up to Maki Zenin in particular. She loves the way Maki carries herself and admires her strength as someone fighting against the oppression of their own family.[10] Tokyo Team meeting (Anime) Nobara punishing Yuji for dying and resurrecting without being considerate of her. Nobara and Yuji are the two class clowns among the first years that typically annoy Megumi to for a laugh any chance they get. Although she likes to pretend that she doesn't like the boys, Nobara was upset after Yuji's death following the Detention Center incident.[11] She even shed a tear upon his revival and demanded an apology from him. Momo Nishimiya insulted Yuji during the Goodwill Event while trying to justify Mai Zenin's undesirable attitude, annoying Nobara. Nobara dislikes Mai, which upset Momo and caused her to monologue about the gender-based discrimination in the Zenin Clan. This only served to annoy Nobara, who couldn't care less about any sentiments based in "boys versus girls". Like Saori, Maki is a good person despite the circumstances that surround her while Mai is not. Nobara doesn't believe people are excused just because they come from a difficult background. She openly rejected Momo and told her to consider the kind of person Yuji was before condemning him, citing that life isn't just a job.[12] Nobara using Straw Doll Technique against the Death Paintings (Anime) "Good. She's plenty crazy." Upon first enrolling at Jujutsu High, Satoru Gojo was unsure how a girl from the countryside would fair against gruesome-looking cursed spirits. Satoru believes it takes someone to be virtually insane to voluntarily be a jujutsu sorcerer or else they'll quit quickly. Despite her distaste for crazy people, Nobara has proved she is plenty crazy herself.[13] She passed Satoru's test with flying colors and didn't hesitate to inflict pain on herself during the battle with the Death Paintings, Eso and Kechizu.[14] In order to counter Eso's cursed technique, Nobara willingly stabbed herself with nails and smiled while doing it. She appeared to take pleasure in outwitting her opponents and didn't hesitate to injure herself further in order to ensure victory and her own survival. Together, she and Yuji were victorious and ended up killing both brothers. Although Yuji was guilt-ridden over killing the brothers, Nobara was relatively unfazed. She admitted that she expected killing came with the job of being a jujutsu sorcerer. Noticing that Yuji was acting strange, Nobara comforted him in her own way by claiming that they were both accomplices in the murder.[15] The dynamic between Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara (Anime) Yuji's fond memories of Nobara and their dynamic with Megumi. Nobara has a high sense of duty as a jujutsu sorcerer and is a prideful fighter. During the Shibuya Incident, Nobara's pride was hurt by her near defeat at the hands of Haruta Shigemo. After being rescued by Kento Nanami, Nobara wanted to help rescue Satoru from being sealed and redeem herself. However, Nanami refused to let her and ordered her to wait to be rescued.[16] Nobara ignored Nanami's warning because she couldn't bring herself to leave the city while all her allies were still fighting.[17] Upon encountering Mahito's double soon afterward, Nobara admitted she didn't have much to show for October 31st and believed beating him would be a solid contribution.[18] Nobara remained confident in her strategy and managed to injure Mahito's soul, forcing him to retreat. Nobara chased him and attempted to exorcise the curse. This overconfidence ultimately proved to be Nobara's downfall. Nobara hit in the face with idle Transfiguration "It wasn't so bad!" Mahito switched places with his double while Nobara's guard was down against his hands, letting him score a direct hit to her face with Idle Transfiguration.[19] Realizing her time was likely at an end, Nobara took a moment to recall her past life in the village. She used to believe that crazy people like those villagers did nothing but step on other people's lives. However, after meeting all the wild and crazy sorcerers at Jujutsu High, Nobara changed her mind. During this exchange, Yuji watches Nobara with extreme worry and horror. In what could have been her last moments, Nobara smiled at Yuji and asked him to tell everyone that it wasn't so bad in the end.[20] Following her recovery on December 24, Nobara appeared to still be in high spirits after being brought up to speed about the raid against Sukuna, happily taking the opportunity to help defeat the sorcerer with Resonance. Upon seeing Yuji again, the two got up to old habits by attempting to surprise Megumi with the fact she was alive, later making up for lost time with him after.[21] Abilities and Powers Resonance (Anime) Nobara exorcising a curse on her first mission. Overall Skill Level: Nobara is ranked as a grade 3 jujutsu sorcerer by Jujutsu High. This is mostly due to her status as a young first-year student and inexperience working as a sorcerer. Nobara has showcased numerous times the capability to contend with jujutsu users ranked leagues above in terms of grade. Coming into school, Nobara had a solid understanding of how to exorcise curses with her innate technique.[22] She also had the mental fortitude to handle the job but lacked physical ability. While fighting in the Eishu Detention Center, Nobara defended herself adequately until she ran out of nails to fight with.[23] Nobara vs Improvements in physical strength allowed Nobara to compensate for her disadvantage against Momo. Afterward, Maki took Nobara under her wing and trained her to improve her physical prowess. The training included heavy stamina conditioning and getting used to getting knocked down by Panda.[24] By the time of the Goodwill Event, Nobara showcased she was in much better shape as a close-combat fighter. In Nobara's fight with Momo, the Kyoto third year had the advantage of flying above Nobara on her broom. Nobara eventually figured out a way to outmaneuver Momo by using the environment to her advantage. Nobara was able to last long enough in that fight due to Maki and Panda's training. She was knocked down several times by gusts of cursed energy wind, but Nobara endured until she figured out a way to counterattack.[25] Nobara using Resonance to stun Eso and Kechizu (Anime) Nobara embracing self-inflicting pain necessary to ensure victory. Despite ultimately being eliminated from the Goodwill Event, Nobara has since demonstrated the potential to combat special grade curses. Alongside Yuji, Nobara was able to fight on even terms with Eso and Kechizu. Both the students were poisoned by the Death Painting's blood technique, but Nobara used that connection against her adversaries. Thanks to her cleverness and ability to think clearly in high-pressure situations, Nobara instantly figured out a way to counter her opponent's technique.[26] Nobara's adaptability and fearlessness lead her to use Resonance on herself to injure Eso and Kechizu at the same time. This involved stabbing herself with nails to activate Resonance, but Nobara was more than happy to do so. The poison, as well as the pain from stabbing herself, helped Nobara enter a state of extreme focus, allowing her to unleash the power of Black Flash as well. Nobara and Yuji defeated the special grade curses, prompting Mei Mei (via payment from Satoru) and Todo to recommend her and all her peers for grade 1.[27] Nobara kicks Mahito (Anime) Nobara confidently fighting a special grade in close quarters During the Shibuya Incident, Nobara underestimated the curse user Shigemo and was taken off guard repeatedly by his uncanny abilities. Shigemo was landing the perfect shots on Nobara, making it difficult for her to keep her balance, let alone fight back. Thinking on her feet, Nobara got Shigemo to talk in order to buy herself some time. This led to Nanami arriving in time to defeat the curse user and rescue her.[28] Nobara is also Mahito's natural enemy (Anime) Nobara tapping into her potential. Having little to show for the incident, Nobara continued fighting rather than retreating as she was ordered. She encountered Mahito, an opponent she had information on unlike with Shigemo. In order to combat someone of his caliber, Nobara focused on trying to reach the core of cursed energy, the same feeling that accompanied unlocking Black Flash. Nobara was able to plan out a strategy accordingly and executed it flawlessly. She led Mahito's double to believe that she was recklessly focusing on physical damage that couldn't hurt his soul. In reality, Nobara knew she could hurt Mahito's soul if she could use his body as an effigy for her technique. After leading him into a false sense of security, Nobara struck his soul and dealt Mahito major damage. Almost immediately, Mahito recognized Nobara as one of his natural enemies in the same way he views Yuji.[29] Cursed Energy Yuji and Nobara unleash Black Flash (Anime) Nobara using Black Flash along with Yuji. Black Flash (黒こく閃せん Kokusen?): A phenomenon that creates a spatial distortion when a user connects an impact of cursed energy within 0.000001 seconds of a physical hit, causing cursed energy to flash black, creating a more potent attack to the power of 2.5 of a normal hit. Nobara unleashed Black Flash for the first time on Kechizu, bringing the Death Painting Womb to a near-death state.[30] Cursed Technique Innate Technique Straw Doll Technique (Anime) Straw Doll Technique (芻すう霊れい呪じゅ法ほう Sūrei Juhō?): Nobara's technique involves utilizing jujutsu through a set of tools that includes a hammer, nails, and a straw doll. By channeling her cursed energy through the tools, Nobara can utilize a number of different techniques including sharing damage between her straw doll and her target. Resonance (共とも鳴なり Tomonari?): Applies Nobara's cursed energy to her target using a straw doll as an effigy. She can use a severed body part of her target to establish a link to attack the more critical appendenges of her target's body. Upon activation, Resonance causes large black spikes to protrude from the target's chest.[31] Nobara using Resonance on Eso (Anime) Hairpin (簪かんざし Kanzashi?): A technique that causes the cursed energy imbued nails to erupt with explosive force. This causes the shroud of cursed energy around the nails to expand until the point of detonation.[32] Nobara exorcises Kechizu (Anime) Equipment Cursed Tools Nobara's Hammer and Nails (Anime) Hammer: Nobara's primary weapon is her signature metal hammer decorated with a heart. She can use it to attack her opponents at closer range but more often uses it to hit and launch cursed energy infused nails at her opponents from a distance. It is also essential to activating her Resonance technique. Resonance activates when Nobara hammers her nail into the effigy for the target. Nobara attacking a Cursed Corpse Nails: Nobara imbues metal nails with cursed energy to work with her innate technique. This allows Nobara to freely levitate the nails, allowing her to launch them as projectiles at her opponents. The metal nails are also key to all of Nobara's cursed techniques. Nobara's Straw Doll (Anime) Straw Doll: As the name of her innate technique suggests, Nobara sometimes requires a straw doll in order to perform an exorcism. Conventional Weaponry Nobara's squeaky hammer (Anime) Rubber Mallet: Nobara uses this red hammer to attack humans so that she doesn't kill them. Human Birthday August 7th, 2002[1] Age 16[1] Gender FemaleFemale Height 160 cm (5'3")[2] Hair Color Ginger (Dyed)[2] Eye Color Orange Satoru is a very tall, lean, and muscular man in his late twenties who is considered relatively attractive, mainly due to his facial features. He has snow-white hair and the Six Eyes, which are a vibrant blue color. Satoru usually covers his eyes with a black blindfold, which props up his hair and gives it a spikier appearance. Satoru wears sunglasses and lets his hair down to the base of his neck when sporting a casual look. While working, Satoru wears a dark blue zip-up jacket with a high collar, which is also fairly broad. He wears matching slim-fit black pants and black dress boots. Before switching over to a simple blindfold, Satoru used to wear bandages over his eyes. Satoru enjoys wearing expensive clothing[6] and has several casual looks he pairs with wearing his sunglasses. As a Tokyo Jujutsu High student, Satoru wore the standard school uniform with his sunglasses before adopting any makeshift blindfold. During the Shinjuku Showdown Arc, Gojo didn’t wear his blindfold, letting his hair fall and eyes shown. He wore a tight-fitting black shirt, white baggy training pants with a black belt weaved through the waist, and black martial arts slippers, similar to Toji Fushiguro’s attire. Personality Satoru is a complex individual. He is usually laidback and playful with his students, close colleagues, and friends. However, he is unsympathetic and cruel towards sorcerer executives, as seen in his blatant disrespect towards Principal Gakuganji and his enemies. Satoru quotes I alone am the honored one (Anime) "Throughout heaven and earth, I alone am the honored one." Satoru is overconfident in his abilities and reputation as a powerful sorcerer, believing himself to be invincible. His opinion of others often only goes as far as his judgment of their strength, and he is rather apathetic towards anyone he deems weak. Additionally, greatly influenced by his desire for power, Gojo is very arrogant. He believes himself to be the strongest in the world, claiming, during his fight with Toji Fushiguro, that "throughout heaven and earth, [he] alone is the honored one." It is evident during his task of protecting Riko Amanai, one of the few 'weak' people he genuinely grew to show compassion for. However, his regret for her death was negated by his extensive pride and arrogance after learning reverse cursed technique in his following battle against Toji Fushiguro.[7] During intense battles, Satoru occasionally falls into a manic fighting state, urged by his determination for victory and undeniable proof that he alone is the strongest. His combative style is characterized by his aggressive and domineering attacks while flaunting his mastered techniques to his opponents. Furthermore, in a crisis, he is capable of being cold-blooded. He will prioritize his enemies' destruction over saving innocent people when he believes that the sacrifice is unavoidable. However, this only extends to the people killed by his opponent; he will not do any lasting harm to or kill anyone innocent to gain the upper hand.[8] Nevertheless, despite his arrogance and strength, Satoru is more human than he first appears. After defeating Toji, Satoru retrieved Riko's corpse with a sorrowful look, showing that although his recent conceited victory temporarily clouded his feelings, he still felt some grief over her death. He sought to kill the Star Religious Group members who were clapping over Riko's death before being stopped by Suguru Geto — who he relied on as a moral compass at that time — from taking any action.[9] Furthermore, Satoru was later left visibly horrified and panicked after learning that Suguru, his "one and only" best friend, had become a murderous curse user. Satoru attempted to reason with his friend but eventually realized and accepted that he lost the one person he truly saw as an equal.[10] After having to put an end to Suguru's life before more calamity arose, it was Satoru's trauma over losing his best friend that caused his ultimate downfall in Shibuya. He was also distraught when Yuji seemingly died. Satoru's dream and endgame is to reform the jujutsu world from the bottom up through education. He seeks to foster a new generation of sorcerers that he hopes will one day become his equals.[11] Abilities and Powers Overview Satoru Gojo vs Satoru Gojo shows off his overwhelming power. Overall Skill Level: Even among the special grade sorcerers, Satoru is known to be the strongest, holding both immense amounts of cursed energy and a dangerously powerful technique. No one can seemingly match his skill level except for the King of Curses, Sukuna. As students, Satoru and Suguru were considered "the strongest," capable of quickly dealing with experienced and powerful curse users. Whereas before, he and Geto were no match for the renowned Sorcerer Killer, Satoru's abilities vastly increased to where he was able to put Toji Fushiguro into the defensive and ultimately kill him with his strongest technique after realizing and perfecting his capabilities. As he continued growing, he eclipsed Suguru's talents to the point Saguru admitted Satoru to be the strongest alone. Suguru also stated that Satoru had the capability of killing all of humanity by himself, which Suguru admitted was out of his ability and didn't even try to fight back when Satoru prepared to kill him, although Satoru ultimately relented as he was unable to kill his best friend. Satoru Gojo targets weakened Hanami (Anime) Hanami, a powerful special grade, is no match. In the present, Satoru's might was feared by the higher-ups of the jujutsu society, to where Satoru could easily force them to cancel the executions of the likes of the dangerous fellow special-grade sorcerer Yuta Okkotsu and the vessel of Sukuna, Yuji Itadori. He states that it would be easy for him to kill them all and overthrow the jujutsu society if he actually wanted to. Satoru even claimed that he could defeat Sukuna at full power. Kenjaku and his group of special-grade cursed spirits were also wary of Satoru's power and skill, with Kenjaku admitting he couldn't defeat Gojo in direct battle. He was capable of entirely overpowering and killing Jogo, who was the strongest of the group, and simply his presence was able to force Hanami to retreat, with Gojo almost killing the special-grade cursed spirit with a single attack. When Kenjaku and his group finally developed a plan to face him in combat, despite their preparations, Satoru was still capable of easily fending off their assaults and overpowering them, leaving them astounded by how exceeding his capabilities truly were, killing Hanami and only being defeated due to Kenjaku using his past with Geto to distract him long enough for the Prison Realm to seal him. Physical Prowess Gojo beating up Miguel (Anime) Satoru's hand-to-hand combat prowess. Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Satoru, in addition to his overwhelming levels of cursed energy, is also an extremely formidable martial artist in close combat, with extraordinary physical prowess to back up his skills. Q&A with Gege Akutami revealed that Satoru is as skilled as the millennia-old Kenjaku in pure hand-to-hand combat without any cursed energy.[12] He was capable of completely overpowering Jogo in hand-to-hand combat, delivering several precise attacks on Jogo's fatal spots, and could even casually fight off both Jogo and Hanami with close-quarters combat, easily countering their attacks and landing powerful hits that swiftly pummelled them into submission.[13] In his duel with Sukuna, Satoru proved to be superior in terms of hand-to-hand combat against the immensely powerful King of Curses, who had previously demonstrated impeccable martial arts skills by simultaneously keeping both Yuji and Maki at bay, consistently being able to overwhelm Sukuna in their later exchanges while clashing their domains to deliver lethal wounds that forced his Malevolent Shrine to crumble within 3 minutes.[14] Immense Strength: Satoru has the extraordinary physical strength to fight against powerful curses without a problem, causing severe injuries to Jogo with powerful punches and throwing him a considerable distance with a single kick during their fight.[15] He was also able to rip out Jogo's head and,[16] later on, his arm with sheer physical force and even managed to casually rip out Hanami's roots.[17] He could casually rip apart transfigured humans, tearing them apart limb by limb.[18] Satoru incapacitated the likes of Uraume with a single punch,[19] which injured them to the point where even the use of reverse cursed technique was unable to truly heal them, leaving the powerful subordinate of Sukuna still suffering a degree of pain from the lasting wound.[20] During his fight with Sukuna, a clash between the two of them destroyed entire buildings, and Satoru proved strong enough to deal critical injuries to the King of Curses using martial arts alone, a feat that not even the strength of Yuji and Maki could achieve. With just a single burst of Black Flash, Satoru was able to damage Sukuna to the point where he temporarily knocked him unconscious by punching him in the heart.[21] Two punches from Satoru proved sufficient to temporarily stun Mahoraga.[22] Satoru Gojo killing Transfigured Humans (Anime) Satoru's immense speed. Immense Speed & Reflexes: Satoru is an extremely fast fighter, capable of moving faster than the eye could perceive. He is known as the fastest jujutsu sorcerer, being above Naobito Zenin in terms of speed.[23] He managed to effortlessly outpace Jogo, throwing almost imperceptible punches and kicks. Satoru was even able to successfully react to and dodge the attacks of someone of Toji Fushiguro's level.[24] Satoru can also accurately eliminate a thousand transfigured humans in a crowd of people in almost five minutes.[25] He was able to move faster than Uraume, a powerful and experienced sorcerer was able to react and may have killed Kenjaku if Sukuna hadn't intervened. During Satoru's duel with Sukuna, he proved to be faster than the King of Curses, able to continuously outpace Sukuna in their hand-to-hand combat exchanges, repeatedly pushing him into the defense with his speed and catching him off-guard on certain occasions. Satoru even kept up with Sukuna, Mahoraga, and Merged Beast Agito simultaneously. Satoru Gojo hit by Malevolent Shrine Satoru withstanding Malevolent Shrine's relentless slashes. Immense Endurance: Despite rarely being put in dangerous situations, Satoru has proven himself to be overwhelmingly resilient when needed to be. When Toji stabbed him through the chest when he had just deactivated his Infinity, Satoru showed little pain, and with cursed energy reinforcement, he was able to avoid any further damage. Even after being impaled in the throat and then savagely slashed through his body, not only did Satoru survive, but he was able to instead use the life-and-death experience to understand the nature of reverse cursed technique and become even more powerful than he ever was. Years later, when Sukuna's Malevolent Shrine overpowered his Unlimited Void, Satoru withstood countless slash attacks from the domain while using reverse cursed technique at full throttle to heal himself instantaneously without showing any signs of pain and being affected by the blood loss and injuries and was able to keep fighting Sukuna with great efficiency, eventually buying enough time to recover his cursed technique. Intelligence Great Tactical Intellect: Satoru is quite tactical and capable of figuring out his opponent's plan with minimum information. He has also shown to be extremely adaptable to any enemy he has ever faced so far, precisely knowing what to do to counter their techniques and find ways to defeat them. This is best displayed during his bout against Jogo, Hanami, Choso, and Mahito, where he was shown to be capable of conceiving multiple battle strategies while fighting at blinding speeds, protecting civilians, keeping property damage to a minimum, all while dodging and evading the attacks of the four adversaries. While fighting Sukuna, faced with the Malevolent Shrine's relentless attacks without his cursed technique, Satoru proved able to calmly develop an effective plan to not only survive but also counter-attack by out-healing its sure-hit attack with reverse cursed technique and using Simple Domain to give him an opening to recover his cursed technique. He also demonstrated the great genius to change the conditions of his domain to a degree that left Atsuya Kusakabe, an expert on barrier techniques, astonished. Cursed Energy Satoru Gojo's cursed energy Gojo's overwhelming amount of cursed energy. Cursed Energy Capacity: Satoru Gojo is known as the strongest jujutsu sorcerer within the modern jujutsu society. He earned this alias in part due to the immense amounts of cursed energy he possesses. Gojo's vast cursed energy, combined with his cursed energy efficiency, allows him to expand his domain at least five times in one day, while most sorcerers and special grade cursed spirits can only use it once. Throughout his fight with Sukuna, Gojo used cursed energy to constantly reinforce himself and activate his cursed techniques multiple times, without ever showing signs of exhausting his reserves. Cursed Energy Manipulation: Gojo has excellent control over his cursed energy due to the Six Eyes. He is capable of expanding his domain for a split second, using reverse cursed technique, and simultaneously activating and controlling multiple Blues and Reds. Additionally, Gojo has extraordinary cursed energy efficiency. When using cursed techniques, Gojo suffers almost zero unnecessary cursed energy loss. As a result, he spends less cursed energy compared to other sorcerers during combat, giving the impression that he never runs out of cursed energy.[26][27] This allows him to keep Limitless activated at all times while constantly using reverse cursed technique to heal his brain to prevent fatigue,[28] despite the latter's massive cursed energy consumption.[29] Cursed Energy Output: In addition to his immense cursed energy capacity, Gojo can output high amounts of cursed energy into his techniques to augment their effects. By strengthening the output into his Limitless technique, Gojo countered Jogo and Hanami's strategy to neutralize his Infinity with domain amplification, expanding the size of Infinity to the point that he could even push back and crush Hanami against a wall with the barrier.[30] By deliberately including the incantations and hand signs of his cursed techniques, Gojo can increase their cursed energy output. While being amplified by Utahime Iori's Solo Forbidden Area, Gojo boosted his Hollow Technique: Purple's output to 200% by chanting its cursed chant and performing its gestures. Upon unleashing Purple, the technique travelled from Shibuya to Shinjuku, covering almost four kilometers (2.5 miles) of distance and carving through all the obstacles in its path.[31][32] Satoru Gojo poised to fight Sukuna Gojo channeling cursed energy through his fists. Cursed Energy Reinforcement: Even when he was a second-year student, Gojo was already skilled at reinforcing his body with cursed energy. When Toji stabbed through his chest with a sword, Gojo reinforced his cursed energy so that the sword couldn't do further damage, causing the injury to hardly affect him during their first battle.[33] As an adult, Gojo can strengthen himself with cursed energy to vastly increase his physical strength or fortify his body. Many of his aforementioned feats of strength and speed can be attributed to his skill in reinforcement techniques. With cursed energy reinforcement and hand-to-hand combat alone, Gojo was able to overwhelm two special grade cursed spirits. In several instances, single strikes from Gojo were strong enough to either launch his opponents a fair distance away or pierce through them. Satoru Gojo's Black Flash Gojo hits Sukuna with Black Flash. Black Flash (黒こく閃せん Kokusen?): A phenomenon that occurs when the user applies cursed energy within 0.000001 seconds of a physical hit, creating a spatial distortion that causes their cursed energy to flash black and amplifies the destructive power of the strike to the power of 2.5.[34] Satoru first demonstrated his ability to use Black Flash against Sukuna during their battle in Shinjuku, dealing a devastating strike when the King of Curses least expected it and knocking him unconscious.[35] Gojo has used Black Flash more times than Kento Nanami but less times consecutively, though his record was eventually surpassed by Yuji Itadori.[36] It is currently unknown how many times exactly Gojo has performed Black Flash, but he has used it at least four times. Cursed Technique Inherited Technique Satoru activating Red and Blue (Anime) Limitless (無む下か限げん Mukagen?): Limitless is an inherited technique of the Gojo family. This technique grants its users nigh-absolute control over space through cursed energy manipulation at an atomic level,[37] resulting in multiple subsequent results and techniques within the overall ability. With the manipulation of space as just the base level of the technique, Limitless has three standard and one "non-standard" form beyond this. Infinity (無む限げん Mugen?): Being the neutral form of the Limitless, the Infinity is commonly known as the ability to stop,[38] although this is a common misconception as the true power of the Infinity is to slow things down. When something attempts to hit Satoru, the person or object in question instead hits the infinity between himself and them.[39][40] According to Satoru, this is the convergence of an infinite series and comes straight from the paradox of Achilles and the tortoise. Akin to the way Achilles will never catch the tortoise due to the potential, infinite amounts of finite space separating them or how the real number one will never touch the real number two due to the infinite amount of fractions that separate them, the opponent will never touch Satoru due to the infinity between them.[41] Satoru initially had to manually activate Infinity, and keeping it active for long periods of time tired him.[42] Since his third year at Jujutsu High, Satoru has programmed Infinity to be constantly active, and automatically target and protect him by discerning the danger levels of approaching objects based on their cursed energy intensity, mass, speed, and shape. While this would normally fatigue his brain, an efficient and constant usage of reverse cursed technique allowed Gojo to keep his brain refreshed.[43] Gojo blocks Ember Insects Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue (術じゅつ式しき順じゅん転てん「蒼あお」 Jutsushiki Junten・Ao?): The reinforced version of the neutral limitless;[38] Blue is the byproduct of Gojo amplifying the Limitless with negative cursed energy, producing a vacuum. Through these, Gojo creates a scenario where the world itself is forced to correct itself and fill in the negative space, causing all matter in the range of the commanded space to be pulled together.[44] Gojo blows Toji back with Blue (Anime) Cursed Technique Lapse - Maximum Cursed Energy Output: Blue (術じゅつ式しき順じゅん転てん出しゅつ力りょく最さい大だい「蒼あお」 Jutsushiki Junten Shutsuryoku Saidai・Ao?): Satoru creates a center of gravity in a specific space capable of attracting all matter, crushing it all effortlessly akin to a black hole. He can also move the point of gravity at will, augmenting its destructive capabilities greatly.[45] Cursed Technique Lapse Maximum Cursed Energy Output Blue (Anime) Cursed Technique Reversal: Red (術じゅつ式しき反はん転てん「赫あか」 Jutsushiki Hanten・Aka?)[46]: Being an inversion of Blue, Red has the opposite effect. By flowing positive energy generated from reverse cursed technique into his Limitless technique,[47][48] Satoru inverts the properties of Blue and activates the divergence of Infinity, causing an extremely powerful repulsive force that blasts targets away. Red outputs at least twice as much as energy as Blue.[49] Gojo using Red on Jogo Hollow Technique: Purple (虚きょ式しき「茈むらさき」 Kyoshiki・Murasaki?): An advanced technique that collides the Lapse and Reversal of the Limitless, resulting in the creation of imaginary mass that is then launched at the target to deal destructive damage.[50] Hollow Purple (Anime) Reverse Cursed Technique Satoru Gojo healing his neck Reverse Cursed Technique (反はん転てん術じゅつ式しき Hanten Jutsushiki?): At first, while a first and second year student of Jujutsu High, Satoru was unable to grasp the complex nature of reverse cursed technique. After being put on his deathbed during his first fight with Toji Fushiguro, Satoru finally understood how to perform the technique and tapped into the core of cursed energy, granting him the ability to not only heal himself, but also make the positive energy flow into the Limitless, giving him access to his Red and Hollow Purple techniques.[51] During his duel with Sukuna, Satoru survived the onslaught of slashes from Malevolent Shrine by using reverse cursed technique at full power.[52] Additionally, Satoru further demonstrated his expertise with reverse cursed technique by using it to replenish his burned-out cursed technique, an unprecedented and seemingly impossible feat even for a talented sorcerer like Yuta Okkotsu.[53] Barrier Techniques Satoru creating a curtain (Anime) Curtain (帳とばり Tobari?): Gojo can create a barrier that surrounds a certain area. The barrier can seal the area off from other people or a specific person wanting to get in. Anti-Domain Techniques Satoru Gojo using Simple Domain New Shadow Style: Simple Domain (シン・陰かげ流りゅう　簡かん易い領りょう域いき Shin Kageryū: Kan'i Ryōiki?): An anti-domain technique that neutralizes a domain's barrier and disables its sure-hit effect in a set area of space around the user. Satoru normally doesn't need to resort to doing so and Yuji didn't even know he could do it before the former's fight with Sukuna. Unlike Yuki Tsukumo, Satoru is not suited to teach the technique to others.[54] Satoru using Falling Blossom Emotion Falling Blossom Emotion (落らっ花かの情じょう Rakka no Jō?): A secret art and an anti-domain technique exclusively passed down in the Big Three Families. It shrouds the user in cursed energy, which counterattacks a domain's sure-hit attack the moment it makes contact. Gojo learned this technique when he was a kid, but stopped using it after mastering his domain until his battle with Sukuna. Normally, this technique can nullify a domain's attacks, however, it only weakened the damage from Malevolent Shrine due to the domain's high output.[55] Domain Expansion Unlimited Void Unlimited Void (無む量りょう空くう処しょ Muryōkūsho?): Satoru's Domain Expansion. It creates a metaphysical space that causes the victims to receive all kinds of stimuli and information endlessly, restraining their thought processes and actions.[56] In terms of raw strength, Satoru's domain is equal to Sukuna's on the inside, only losing due to Malevolent Shrine's open domain that allowed Sukuna to destroy the barrier of Unlimited Void.[57] Satoru's skill with his Domain Expansion is so great that he can precisely activate it for only 0.2 seconds, limiting its lasting effect on those he traps within it,[58] and is able to freely change the conditions of Unlimited Void's barrier. Satoru himself and those he makes physical contact with are immune to its effect.[59] Special Abilities Satoru Gojo arrives on the battlefield (Anime) Six Eyes (六りく眼がん Rikugan?): An innate trait rarely inherited by individuals in the Gojo Clan, similar to the Limitless. These eyes grant their wielder incredible perception and precise control of cursed energy. Even when they are completely obscured, the Six Eyes function like high-definition infrared vision, allowing the user to perceive their Human Birthday December 7, 1989[1][2] Age 29[4] Gender MaleMale Height Over 190 cm (Over 6'3")[3][5] Hair Color White Eye Color Light Blue
