Affiliation: Zenin Family (formerly) Tokyo Jujutsu High School

Rating: Grade 4

Maki is a young woman of above-average height and athletic build. She has small golden eyes and long, black hair (dark green in the anime), usually tied back in a short ponytail. She has bangs draped over her forehead, with smaller strands framing her cheeks, and she often wore different glasses that allowed her to see curses.

While still a member of the Zenin clan, Maki wore a traditional outfit: a white yukata and a black hakama. Her original Jujutsu High student uniform consisted of the traditional long-sleeved jacket with a pencil skirt. As a first-year, she wore long, thick tan socks and black shoes with her uniform. As a second-year, she wore different glasses and black leggings instead of socks.

During her training for the Goodwill Event, Maki wore a purple tracksuit, a black T-shirt, and tan shorts over her tights. While training with Yuta Okkotsu, Maki wore the same T-shirt with darker shorts. Her casual clothing consisted of a cyan hoodie over a white T-shirt with pink horizontal stripes, white shorts over black tights, and white boots.

Maki suffered severe burns from Jogo's flames during the Shibuya Incident. This left much of her body covered in scars, running down her arms and down the sides of her face. Her hair now only reaches just below her ears, which could be due to her having cut it short, or because it was partially or completely burned off. And over time, training as she recovered from her injuries, she developed a more robust physique than before.

Maki decided to modify her uniform to keep most of her arms uncovered. She wore a sleeveless, high-necked black shirt under a large cape held together by two Jujutsu High brooches on either side. The shirt was tucked into a large brown belt with a gold buckle, tied around the waist of tight black pants. The glasses that matched this outfit were circular, but Maki's right eye was covered with bandages due to burns.

During her conflict with the Zenin Family, Maki lost her right eye completely and now bears a scar where it was cut by her father's katana. She's shed her cloak, but wears virtually the same outfit, with the same sleeveless shirt and pants, belt, and shoes. By the time she entered the Killing Game, Maki regained her cloak and her right eye was completely healed.

Maki is a stubborn and outspoken person who tries to get ahead without help. She's extremely determined, capable, and driven to break away from the standards imposed on her by those who are supposed to be her family.

In a sorcerer clan, powerful curse techniques are everything, but Maki couldn't even see curses. Women in sorcerer clans must excel even more, leading Maki to be constantly mistreated and abused by the Zenin clan. Despite feeling cursed by her own blood, Maki is driven to become a strong sorceress, regardless of what her family thinks. She wants to shatter the foundations of their way of life and reject it completely.

Maki and Yuta devoured by a curse: Maki yells at Yuta for getting them into trouble. Maki can sometimes come across as quite cold, even to her classmates. She is a leader, but Maki is very harsh on others and tends to be impatient and quick-tempered. Maki doesn't seem to respect Satoru Gojo due to his goofy attitude. Even though he is her teacher and superior, Maki often refers to him as an idiot. At first, she was very cruel to Yuta due to his shyness and outright told him that he had no business attending Jujutsu High as a cursed human.

While working together on a mission, Maki and Yuta learned to understand each other, and she realized they weren't so different. She asked Yuta why he enrolled at the school, and he replied that he wanted to make it acceptable for him to live. Maki explained that this was what Jujutsu High was all about and encouraged him to use his curse to save people.

Maki trained Yuta rigorously because she wanted to see him grow stronger and fight alongside her. Something she would later pass on to Megumi and Nobara as her senpai. She taught them all advanced situational awareness and how to properly handle various weapons, even if they had to take a lot of beatings in the process.

Maki has repressed many of her emotions to maintain her signature tough exterior. She hasn't shown romantic interest in anyone, and Panda enjoyed teasing her about this when they were first years. As for Yuta, this embarrassed her enough to lash out at Panda.

"Don't go around thinking you've been recognized or anything." Following their first encounter with Suguru Geto, Maki and Yuta discussed why Geto referred to her as the "failure of the Zenin clan". At first, Maki brushed it off as being born without a magician gave her the perfect excuse to leave, as she hated the clan for a variety of reasons. When Yuta asked why Maki chose to be a magician, Maki replied that it was because she had a bad personality and wanted to become a top-tier magician to spite the Zenin clan.

Yuta admires Maki's strength and revealed that he wants to be like her, strong and resilient. Awkwardly, Yuta offered to help her take on the Zenin clan, but she called him an idiot and said it was something she had to do alone. She had spent so much time rejecting the need to feel accepted that she was flustered when Yuta graciously acknowledged her strength. Maki left the conversation to compose herself, then reminded herself not to leave feeling finally acknowledged.

As a second-year student, Maki possesses an aura of leadership and guides her classmates appropriately. She is attracted to Megumi Fushiguro because he is also a former member of the Zenin clan and they get along well. She doesn't mind teasing him, even if he is blunt, which sometimes makes her seem like a "heartless devil." When she found Megumi angry with Nobara Kugisaki, she jokingly asked them if they had just attended a funeral. However, ironically, this occurred after the death of her classmate, Yuji Itadori. This made Maki feel very guilty, and as usual, she lashed out at Panda in fury for not informing her sooner. Even after the accident, Maki still doubted whether being lenient with the first-year students would have been a kind gesture.

Maki is a resentful person and always determined to prove herself. For the Kyoto Goodwill Event, she needed strong teammates to help her demonstrate her abilities in a public setting where no one could deny her. She encouraged Megumi and Nobara to strengthen themselves for their fallen ally and thought it was the perfect opportunity to put her teammates in their place.

Maki is annoyed with Megumi's attitude. Maki doesn't seem to care about the moral aspects of being a sorceress and focuses more on her personal goals. During her training, Megumi asked her what kind of people she wanted to save as a sorceress, but she doesn't think about that sort of thing. This clearly annoyed Megumi, which in turn enraged Maki. She decided to strike a deal and told Megumi that they could talk it out if he improved his hand-to-hand combat skills enough to challenge her.

As a child, Maki promised her twin sister Mai that she would stay with her forever. However, as she grew older, Maki realized that she couldn't live under the yoke of an oppressive family while Mai just put up with it. Leaving Mai behind caused the one person Maki cared about in the clan to also resent her. Mai was punished for Maki's departure by being pressured to become a mage, even though she wanted to live a normal life. She began to hate Maki when they were both in Jujutsu High School.

Maki tells Nobara why she wants to be a sorceress "What would happen if someone as despised as me became a great sorcerer?" Mai treated Maki like she was worthless because she lacked cursed energy. It was the same kind of taunt most of the Zenin clan had thrown at Maki her entire life, so it didn't seem to bother her much. In the stance where Mai and Nobara fought, Maki told her twin that they were both useless because Mai didn't have much talent, only being able to carry weapons with cursed energy.

This revelation shocked Nobara, who asked Yuta the same thing: why would Maki want to become a sorceress? Maki simply told him that she wanted to prove her family wrong by becoming a great sorceress. Nobara expressed her deep respect, but Maki didn't think much of it. During the planning phase of the Goodwill Event, Maki overheard Nobara telling Yuji about their circumstances and how they needed to win to prove the Zenin clan wrong. At the time, it bothered her, but only because Maki didn't want others to worry about her. Recalling her classmate's recognition of her skill later made her smile.

Maki didn't actively try to repair her relationship with Mai and became involved in their sibling rivalry to a degree. After defeating Mai, Maki was asked to explain why she didn't stay at the bottom and fall into the hole with her sister. This saddened Maki, who replied that she would have hated herself and apologized to Mai for leaving. Maki left without a clear resolution and continued the event, leaving their relationship still fractured.

Despite her troubled past, Maki was able to cooperate cordially on missions with other members of the Zenin clan. She shared a squad with the clan leader during the Shibuya Incident. Naobito Zenin was behaving very indifferently in Shibuya, so Maki took the lead to assist Nobara and Akari Nitta. She told them to ignore him when he asked for anything outside of the mission.

Maki and Naobito increase the tension in their team. Maki and Naobito eventually split up and encountered Kento Nanami, and they quickly increased the tension between them. Naobito mentioned that he would not care if Satoru remained sealed and Maki told him to leave Shibuya if he was not going to be of any help. Naobito argued that Maki should be the one to leave and Nanami agreed that the fighting in Shibuya had escalated to a degree too dangerous for her. She ignored this and claimed that she would be of more help than a drunk like Naobito, causing Nanami to become angrier at him for drinking on the job. However, this was before Maki saw Naobito's capabilities as a sorcerer. She and Nanami were both amazed by Naobito's speed and Maki even reluctantly admitted that Naobito saved her life against Dagon. This was humiliating for Maki, but she continued to fight in sync alongside Naobito and Nanami in an attempt to exorcise the cursed spirit.

Maki doesn't tolerate teasing well and always responds by insulting anyone, no matter who they are. Within her domain, Dagon called her the weakest. After surviving a heavy blow that surely injured her, Maki responded by bravely mocking Dagon and facing the special grade again. Maki told the "octopus" that if he was going to call her weak, he should have killed her in one hit. Maki was also upset with herself for not eliminating Playful Cloud sooner, preparing for more difficult battles, instead of waiting for permission. She was happy to see Megumi when she invaded the domain and handed Playful Cloud over to her. She smiled, and her way of expressing gratitude to her subordinate was to call her a show-off.

Maki asks Megumi to become the clan head because she can't create a home for Mai yet. Maki was badly injured and scarred as a result of the fight in Shibuya, but she doesn't think much of it. Yuta met up with her after a while and expressed his concern, but Maki claimed she was fine. When Yuki acknowledged what had happened and praised Maki's tenacity, Maki simply replied that it wasn't that she had taken any risks.

Even in a team of unlikely allies assembled to combat the Killing Game, Maki's leadership skills helped everyone fulfill their roles in rescuing Tsumiki Fushiguro. She was the one who suggested that Yuji and Megumi recruit Hakari despite his bad attitude, as their group is short-staffed and needs all the help it can get.

When Maki was presented with the opportunity to run for clan head, she was unable to do so. With Naobito's death, Megumi became the head of the Zenin clan thanks to a special clause. Megumi was reluctant to accept the position, but Maki implored her to do so. She tried to convince him of all the luxuries that came with being a member of the clan, but typical Megumi refused and demanded that she do it instead. Irritated, Maki told her that no one would accept her and began shouting, listing all the reasons why Megumi would make a decent head, before adding "barely" to the end. Megumi still refused and argued that acceptance wouldn't matter, but that Maki was not only good enough for them, but for herself as well. Maki believed that she wasn't yet capable of turning the clan into a place where Mai would feel included.

Maki's complicated relationship with her family was evident when she returned to the Zenin clan to collect cursed tools. Despite having the clan head's permission, Maki suffered constant harassment along the way. She ignored the harsh words of Naoya and her mother and continued onward toward the vault. Maki's own father plotted against her, attempting to execute Megumi along with the twins. Maki fought him bravely and attempted to save Mai, but was defeated and severely injured, leaving Maki to be saved by Mai.

Maki was forced to say goodbye to her sister too soon, marking a radical change in her personality. In a dreamlike space, Mai explained that she would sacrifice herself while distancing herself from Maki. During the conversation, Maki listened to Mai's explanation, but constantly tried to close the distance. She didn't want to let her go before they had a chance to reconcile, but she was forced to accept that this was the end. In exchange for Mai giving everything to ensure Maki reached her full potential, Maki promised to destroy everything. Maki was devastated by her sister's death, but she didn't have time to grieve and had to fulfill Mai's request immediately, murdering her father in cold blood. Immediately afterward, Maki was ready to continue and looked at the last thing her sister had left her: a sword. With a cold and implacable disposition, Maki looked at the sword and said to Mai, "Let's begin."

Maki mercilessly annihilated the entire Zenin clan without showing the slightest emotion. He massacred every member of the Hei and Kukuri units present that day without a hint of remorse. The only words he ever exchanged with anyone were with Naoya when he asked him if he had a human heart. This occurred after he decapitated Jinichi and threw his severed head into a pond. His response was simple: "No... it was taken from me." He also attempted to call Maki an imposter during the fight, but Maki interrupted him by slamming her in the face with a punch. She then mocked him by asking if he could repeat that statement.

Amidst her vicious tirade, Maki still wanted to believe that there was still some good left in her family. Before killing her mother, she tried to see if her mother was trying to warn her about Ogi's trap when he harassed her upon her return. However, Maki assumed the best from her mother and seemed disappointed at not getting a successful response. Her mother succumbed to her vengeful rage, and even afterward, Maki left Mai's body with Momo Nishimiya and killed the rest of the clan members who weren't present that day.

Maki reaches her peak "I'm at my best!" By this point, Maki had grown exponentially since enrolling at Jujutsu High, and Noritoshi could tell she had changed at a glance. However, she settled for being more like her classmates and was unable to maximize her potential. She lacked the same insight that Hagane Daido possessed and struggled to understand what it took to make her like Toji Fushiguro. Though normally relaxed and focused, Maki would become tense and frustrated. Maki was self-aware enough to recognize that she was overthinking things and accepted Rokujushi Miyo's offer to wrestle sumo to let off steam. Maki never really had anyone she could truly acknowledge as a teacher because she viewed Satoru and Atsuya as idiots. She never rejected the idea of ​​having a teacher out of pride; it simply never crossed her mind to rely on anyone else to make herself stronger. Maki placed her trust in Miyo and explained what was holding her back. Through sumo, Miyo taught Maki to free her mind and perceive everything around her without the pressures of the world. With this newfound mental freedom, Maki smiled and proudly declared that she was at her peak.

Maki's enlightened state of mind allowed her to unleash her full fighting potential. She regained her calm and focus, along with a renewed sense of freedom and self-confidence. She understood that it wasn't enough to be like everyone else and that she needed to focus on what she could do specifically—things that only she and Touji could accomplish. Maki remained completely indifferent during the later stages of their fight against Naoya's cursed spirit form as he grew increasingly frustrated. Maki didn't bother to acknowledge Naoya's antics even once and effortlessly defeated him. In a final conversation with her sister, Maki confirms that she has broken everything that bound her, just as Mai intended.

Despite everything Maki has been through, she remains loyal and kind to her friends. Though she and Noritoshi weren't close before their time together on Sakurajima, Maki could relate to him due to their complicated familial relationships. Maki told Noritoshi to talk to his mother before assuming she didn't love him. After learning that Naoya was killed by his mother, Maki admits that maybe she was wrong about her and never got a good answer about what a mother is. She implored Noritoshi to figure it out for himself and not make the same mistake she did.

Overall Skill Level: Maki's fourth rank is no reflection of her actual skill level. She was not born a magus, but has always possessed tremendous physical abilities, granted through heavenly restraint in exchange for her extremely low cursed energy. However, through her mastery of weapons and the study of curses at Jujutsu High, she has become a jujutsu magus.

Satoru Gojo and Mei Mei casually agreed that as a second-year student, there was no good reason for Maki not to be ranked at least Grade 2. Maki's tension with the Zenin clan caused them to stop her promotion despite the fact that she can exorcise a Grade 2 Cursed Spirit with ease.

All of Maki's close companions acknowledge her power; Yuji Itadori noticed just by looking at her that she emanated an aura of strength. Even so, her opponents often underestimate her. She wields quality cursed tools with skill, and her physical prowess, limited to a celestial level, is surpassed only by Yuji's superhuman abilities.

At the 2018 Goodwill Event, Maki swiftly dispatched Kasumi Miwa and Mai one after the other. Kasumi realized that Mai was entirely wrong for calling Maki a weakling and believed she would exorcise a Grade 2 curse with ease. In a fight between weapon users, Maki effortlessly overpowered Miwa and wrested her katana from her. Mai tried her best to use tricks to overcome her sister, but was also forced to acknowledge that Maki's physical abilities far surpassed her own. Against Hanami, the Special Grade Cursed Spirit that invaded the event, Maki managed to hold her own with Megumi's help and bought enough time for reinforcements to arrive.

Overall Skill Level: Maki also proved to be a key player in the harrowing Battles of Shibuya, despite being ordered to retreat by Naobito and Nanami. Early in the fight against Dagon, she was a step slower than the more experienced Grade 1 Mages, and was rescued by Naobito at one point, but Maki continued to improve throughout the battle. Within Dagon's domain, Maki survived his initial onslaught and even launched an effective counterattack against the Special Grade with the help of Megumi.

Maki demonstrates her strength against Dagon within his domain. Fighting against her father, Maki managed to overcome her opponent in a sword duel, but Ogi eventually defeated her using jiu-jitsu. As Mai explained, Maki was never able to reach her full potential because the little cursed energy she possessed only held her back. In jiu-jitsu, the twins are treated as the same person, and Mai was the one born with the innate cursed technique. In exchange for sacrificing her life and taking all the cursed energy they shared with her, Mai managed to free Maki from the cursed energy and grant her a body of steel.

Maki dominates the Kukuru Unit Maki uses her enhanced heavenly restraint to massacre the entire Zenin clan. Maki's Restricted Celestial Body greatly improved, to the point where her strength is comparable to Toji Fushiguro's. She effortlessly killed her father in an instant and then annihilated all of the clan's strongest fighters. Maki massacred all of the Kukuru Unit members when they completely surrounded her. The Hei then immediately ambushed her with all of their cursed techniques, only for Maki to destroy them all with a single cursed tool.

Overall Skill Level: Even Naoya, who inherited Naobito's cursed technique and refused to accept that Maki could ever succeed Toji in strength, was surpassed by her newfound power. Maki has surpassed Naobito, who once saved her. She has demonstrated the ability to wipe out one of the Three Great Sorcerer Clans and is impossible to track now that she lacks any cursed energy.

Maki acquired a body of steel, but mental shackles prevented her from reaching her full potential until she changed her mindset. While she was strong enough to wipe out the Zenin clan, she struggled against Naoya when she fought him as a vengeful curse on Sakurajima. She was unable to close the gap between her and Toji because she was content to be like her peers and did not allow herself to excel in areas where only she could excel. Following the guidance of Rokujushi Miyo, Maki freed her mind and realized she could perceive inorganic matter. This advanced perception allows her to see how her opponent will move due to subtle changes in temperature and air density. She can even grab onto these scattered surfaces to move through the air at extreme speeds. She was also completely immune to the expansion of Naoya's domain and killed him effortlessly. Twelve years after his death, a war god equal to Toji Zenin has fully materialized within Maki.

Fully awake, Maki was able to take on a fifteen-fingered Sukuna while fighting alongside Yuji. Sukuna was in an unfinished state and Maki held her own in close combat, even repelling a direct blow.

Master Weapons Specialist: Maki is considered Tokyo Jujutsu High School's finest cursed tool user. Able to wield a wide range of weapons, Maki is proficient in all types of armed combat styles. She seems to prefer using polearms and spears in combat, but is perfectly capable of switching between multiple weapons in a single fight.

Maki's skill with weapons is also demonstrated by her ability to teach others how to use them. She helped Yuta gain a solid foundation in hand-to-hand combat by training him in the use of the katana. He became a good training partner after three months and eventually became a talented swordsman. Maki is also responsible for teaching Megumi how to fight hand-to-hand. At the beginning of their first year at Jujutsu High, Maki was very deficient, but she has shown him the value of hand-to-hand combat. She helped him understand that he could keep weapons at bay and motivated him to learn how to fight with a variety of weapons.

At the Goodwill Event, Kasumi was surprised that Maki could wield a broadsword in the middle of a forest where their duel was surrounded by trees. Maki broke the handle off her own spear and used it as a projectile to close the distance. Using aikido disarming to wrestle a weapon away from an opponent, Maki stole Kasumi's sword.

Maki used the katana to attack Hanami, and although the blade broke at the first strike, Maki quickly adapted and switched to her three-section staff, Playful Cloud, to fight. Megumi noted that she found Playful Cloud difficult to use, but Maki was able to use it to fight on par with special-grade cursed spirits. She and Megumi swapped weapons several times against Hanami to surprise the curse, and did so with ease.

Maki is well-trained in various forms of hand-to-hand combat and generally uses hand-to-hand combat in conjunction with her weapons. Although she typically uses her hands to fight with weapons, Maki enjoys throwing kicks at the same time. While fighting Mai, Maki severed her foothold with a katana and then delivered a devastating kick to her sister, knocking her into the air.

Unlike Yuji, Maki did not often demonstrate her martial arts skills, as she required cursed tools to be a sorceress. However, Maki did use hand-to-hand combat to defeat many members of the Zenin clan with her enhanced steel body. Chojuro and Nobuaki were killed by Maki, who defeated Naoya with a single punch after parrying many of his initial rapid attacks. Having unleashed her full potential, Maki even outclassed Sukuna in some exchanges during their fight.

Maki was raised in one of the major sorcerer clans, so she has a perfect command of the important aspects of the jujutsu world. While she often seeks to dominate her opponents with her physical abilities, Maki is also a highly intelligent fighter. She has demonstrated leadership skills and gives effective orders to her squad to work together as a unit. As the de facto leader of Team Tokyo in the Goodwill Event, Maki devised the strategy to counter Aoi Todo's one-track mindset and brute force. She and Megumi also quickly realized that the formation of Team Kyoto was intended to assassinate Yūji. In Shibuya, their plan was for Nobara and Akari to leave the barrier and rescue Ijichi.

Against her father, Maki devised a clever plan to win a sword duel with Ogi. She feigned a one-hit duel and then followed up with more attacks that broke Ogi's katana. She defeated Naoya by constantly analyzing his cursed technique and searching for the secret to his speed, which she eventually discovered.

Maki has always possessed extraordinarily high strength for a human. She knocked out Aoi Todo with a baseball to the face and broke a wooden pole on his thigh, something no normal person is physically capable of doing. As a testament to her heavenly strength, Playful Cloud is a cursed tool that relies solely on the power of its user. She was able to use it to single-handedly damage two powerful Special-Grade Cursed Spirits.

As with all of her physical abilities, Maki's strength increased greatly after completely losing her cursed energy. It is more than enough to defend against cursed techniques. Maki easily broke free from Chojuro's stone hands attack and Ranta's paralysis using brute strength and willpower. Coupled with Naoya's approaching speed, the brute force of Maki's left hand deformed the right side of her opponent's face, ending the fight.

Maki possesses incredible speed, comparable to her strength, and moves with enough skill in combat for Hanami to recognize her agility. She executes precise movements and remains agile in combat with great accuracy. Facing Mai's revolver, Maki effortlessly dodged and sidestepped her sister's barrage of bullets. Not only did she cleave a bullet in half with a katana, but she even moved fast enough to stop a speeding bullet just inches from her face with incredibly sharp reflexes.

After escaping the cursed energy, Maki's body was able to move and react quickly enough to compete with Naoya's Projection Magecraft, allowing her to surpass subsonic speed. She killed Chojuro and Nobuaki before either of them realized it. In her final moments, they both noticed how Maki's speed had increased so much that she had become unrecognizable. Once they realized it, Maki's speed had reached levels inconceivable for a human. Naoya, a cursed person who can move three times the speed of sound, was unable to catch her.

Though she never had an effective resistance to curses, Maki has always been strong. Her innate physical strength saved her life when Jogo's cursed technique burned her at point-blank range. No amount of curse tolerance saved Naobito from similar injuries.

Although Maki was very durable, her father cut her in two and incapacitated her. His enhanced steel body healed her injuries and granted her far superior durability, overcoming the Zenin clan's cursed techniques with sheer physical prowess. Maki took a direct hit from Chojuro's giant stone hands upon collision, something Nobuaki believed should have completely immobilized her, and escaped the stone moments later.

Zero Cursed Energy: Maki originally possessed very low levels of cursed energy, even lower than the average non-sorcerer. She was unable to see curses without cursed energy-imbued goggles, the most basic requirement to be considered a sorcerer. This is despite being born into a powerful sorcerer clan, due to her twin sister, which is unfavorable to sorcerers. Considered as one person in jujutsu, Mai possessed the cursed technique and the most cursed energy between the twins. With Mai's sacrifice, she absorbed all of the cursed energy between them, making Maki the second known person to completely escape cursed energy after Toji Fushiguro.

Like Toji, Maki is completely undetectable without cursed energy, and barriers treat her like a building. Therefore, most domains have no effect on Maki and cannot confine her unless the mage uses an actual structure as the barrier's exterior or she consents. She also cannot be the target of a targeted attack from a domain due to her lack of cursed energy.

In exchange for her lack of cursed energy, Maki has always possessed exceptional physical prowess. While not as superhuman as Yuji Itadori, she possesses exceptional human capabilities, comparable to those of sorcerers who constantly train in cursed energy reinforcement. Her strength allows her to work effectively as a sorceress wielding cursed tools, despite not possessing enough cursed energy to technically be considered one.

Maki's new power reminds Ogi of Toji. The small amount of cursed energy Maki possessed held back his Heavenly Restriction. In exchange for completely escaping the cursed energy, Maki was granted a "body of steel" with capabilities even surpassing Yuji's. Her prowess is now comparable to Toji's, especially after learning to use her body's capabilities to the fullest. Not only does she possess superhuman strength and speed, but she can also see inorganic matter and pick up on normally imperceptible changes in air density and temperature.

As a first-year student, Maki's signature weapon was a red naginata, a cursed tool with golden tips and a red cloth. She used it to exorcise several cursed spirits, but it broke in her fight with Suguru Geto. Maki's low cursed energy prevents her from seeing curses or jiu-jitsu naturally. Her glasses are actually a cursed tool that grants her these abilities. She didn't like her original ones very much, as they broke in her fight with Suguru Geto. She later replaced her original glasses and wore new ones until they broke in Shibuya as well. After the incident, Maki changed her glasses again. These were similar to her original ones, with a more rounded shape. However, she also broke them during her confrontation with her father. Maki's polearm in the Goodwill Event (Anime) During the Goodwill Event, Maki wielded a long naginata polearm with a cursed black tool blade decorated with skin between the handle and the spearhead with golden rings on the opposite end. Maki Takes Kasumi's Sword (Anime) Maki disarmed Kasumi and took her katana during the Goodwill Event. She later broke the blade during her fight with Hanami after trying to cut through its hard shell.

Maki kept her arsenal in Megumi's shadow, allowing them to share a stockpile of weapons. Among them was Megumi's black sword. They briefly exchanged weapons to throw Hanami off the scent. Playful Cloud ( , Yū-un ? )游ゆう雲うん : A special-grade cursed tool recovered from Suguru Geto. It is a three-section staff described as pure power, relying entirely on the user's physical strength. Maki wielding a Dragon Bone The Dragon Bone (Ryūkotsu) is the magnum opus of Juzo Kumiya. It can accumulate strength and cursed energy, as well as expel it through the back of the sword according to the user's will. During a meeting with Master Tengen, Maki inquired about the location of Juzo's workshop. At some point, she went there and retrieved the Dragon Bone. She was first forced to use it in a duel with her own father. Maki and Mai's Sword The sword that Mai left for Maki is an exact replica of the Soul Splitting Katana (Shakukontō). It is Maki's last link to her sister and possesses the ability to overcome any physical resistance to sever the soul of any target.

To train, Maki uses a metal pole to practice her skills as a lancer. She also allows Megumi to practice with it to improve her weapon proficiency.
