Jujutsu Kaisen

Gojo is a very tall, lean, and muscular man in his late twenties with snow-white hair and vibrant blue eyes. Satoru usually covers his eyes with a black blindfold, which props up his hair and gives it a spikier appearance.

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 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. 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. 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. Gojo’s abilities are Lapse Blue, Reversal Red, Lapse Blue MAX, and Reversal Red MAX. Lapse Blue pulls his opponent towards him, and ends off with them being kicked away. Lapse Blue MAX makes a giant blue orb appear, pulling in and destroying anything it goes near. Reversal Red makes a small red orb shoot from his fingers, exploding upon impact or after 7 seconds. Reversal Red MAX instead makes a large red beam shoot from his fingers, which can circle back and toss his opponent back towards him, ending in a Black Flash punch. Gojo’s Domain Expansion is Infinite Void, a very confined space that constantly overflows the opponent’s mind with endless information, completely immobilizing them.

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). 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. 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. Megumi has the Ten Shadows technique, with him being able to summon super-strength rabbits for a barrage of attacks, a fully electric, shocking bird for heavier damage, a giant toad that extends its tongue to bring it’s target back to Megumi, and Divine Dogs, two dogs that ferociously tear through opponents. Megumi has the ability to call upon the most powerful Shikigami, (basically the animals he summons) Mahoraga. Mahoraga is the most powerful Shikigami, due to it being able to adapt to any and all attacks from anything possible.’

Nobara is a girl of average height with a slim yet curvy figure, DD cups and a thick lower body. 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. 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. 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. She takes great pride in being both a pretty girl and a strong fighter, refusing to let anyone influence her.

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. Despite her abrasive attitude, Nobara is actually an incredibly caring and dutiful person, but would never let most people see that side of her. Nobara has absurd physical prowess, and her technique is 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. Nobara can also apply cursed energy to her target using the straw doll to link her attack to more critical parts of her target’s body, this technique is called Resonance, and when used, spikes protrude from her target’s chest. Her last technique is Hairpin, which causes all of the nails she injected to her target to erupt with explosive force, and expand to the point of detonation.

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. 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. 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. Yuji has superhuman strength and speed due to his blood relation with Sukuna, and 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 also has the ability to unleash a Black Flash at will, but he has yet to master this ability. Yuji also has immense durability, being able to survive multiple fatal attacks from anything possible.

Maki is a young woman above average height with an athletic build, yet she is thick and curvaceous. She has small golden eyes and long black hair normally tied into a short ponytail. She had fringes of hair over her forehead with smaller strands framing her cheeks and used to sport different pairs of 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.[4] Maki's original Jujutsu High student uniform consisted of the traditional long sleeve jacket with a pencil skirt. As a first-year student, she wore thick, long tan socks and black shoes with her uniform. As a second-year Maki wore a different pair of glasses and sported black leggings instead of socks. Maki annoyed with Gojo's over-the-top cheerfulness. Maki is a very headstrong and straightforward person who tries to drive herself forward without needing anyone else's help. She is extremely strong-willed, capable, and motivated to escape the standards that have been set for her by people who are supposed to be her family.

In a sorcerer clan, strong cursed techniques are everything, but Maki couldn't even see curses. Women in sorcerer clans have to stand out even more, leading Maki to be constantly severely mistreated and abused by the Zenin clan. Despite feeling cursed by her own blood, Maki motivates herself to become a strong sorcerer regardless of what her family thinks. She wants to break apart the foundation of their way of their life and reject it completely. Maki can come off as rather cold at times, even to her classmates. She is the leader type but Maki is very tough on others and tends to be impatient and hot-tempered. Maki doesn't seem to respect Satoru Gojo as a person due to his very goofy attitude. Even as her teacher and senior, Maki often refers to him as a moron. Due to her Heavenly Restrictions to lack Cursed Energy, she has exceptional physical prowess, but not as strong as Yuji.

Yuta is a young man with disheveled black hair and dark blue eyes. As a first-year, Yuta's body language made it obvious that he was under a lot of stress. His posture was very unconfident, and he still has dark circles under his eyelids from a lack of sleep. As a second-year student, Yuta's hair has grown longer and he wears it in a more relaxed style instead of a spiky one. After transferring to Tokyo Jujutsu High, Yuta received a specialized uniform. Yuta has a loose white uniform jacket with sleeves that stop at his forearms. He also wears slender black pants that tuck into white sneakers that match his jacket. Yuta also often carries his katana case on his back. Following his temporary brain transfer into Satoru Gojo's body from copying Kenjaku's technique, Yuta has a stitched scar circling his head. Yuta was a very timid and lonely boy who was bullied a lot while growing up. Due to Rika haunting much of his early life, Yuta was unable to connect with other people and has lost all confidence in himself. This makes it difficult for Yuta to interact with others, as they often scare him without meaning to, or he's just too shy to speak to them. Gaining friends helps Yuta gain confidence in himself and establish the goal to help set Rika free. He felt responsible for her turning into a curse in the first place[11] and worked extremely hard to find a way to help her. He pushed himself during training and took all his friends' and mentors' words to heart, showing a more determined side of himself.[12] At his core, Yuta wants to become someone who can help keep others out of danger. Yuta wields a katana that also has the power to channel Rika’s cursed powers. Against Suguru Geto, Yuta showed the darkest side of himself. Geto hurt Yuta's only friends, and the young man was more than willing to kill him for it.[13] Yuta's rage allowed him to even command Rika's power at will. He was willing to sacrifice his life to use Rika to kill Geto to avenge his friends.

Nanami is a tall, well-built man with blonde hair styled with a neat part. Nanami has very thin eyebrows as well as small hazel-colored eyes that are usually covered by his signature sunglasses, which don't have arms that wrap around the ears.

Befitting a former office worker, Nanami is usually fully dressed in a formal business suit. His usual suit consists of a blue dress shirt underneath a tan blazer with matching slacks and light shoes. Attached to his dress shirt, there is a holster that sheaths Nanami's blunt sword, hidden by the back of his blazer. He also sports a necktie that shares the same dotted pattern as the bandages around his blunt sword. Nanami is a very wise and reserved kind of man, often appearing so calm and indifferent that he comes off as stoic and aloof. He seems like the kind of person who's too serious about his work, but Nanami just knows how to separate sentimentalism from service. He's blunt and straight to the point in most conversations and doesn't care for impractical optimism[3] or questions left open to interpretation. Additionally, Nanami is very avid and quick to express his irritation, either on his face or verbally with his words. Nanami is often very impatient. He hates working overtime and is very serious about not going a single minute over what's required of him. Nanami knows being a jujutsu sorcerer is a dangerous and demanding job for crazy people, and so he has a hard time respecting people in the profession. Even though Nanami and Satoru are longtime friends, the former claims he doesn't respect Satoru despite their mutual trust in one another. Nanami has master hand-to-hand combat and wields a blunt sword infused with cursed energy, but he has the ability to shift it’s blade to the most critical and vulnerable part of his opponent’s body, dealing critical damage, this is transferred through his tie, and can be transferred to anything it’s wrapped around, even his fist. He has absurd durability like Yuji, as well.

Toge is a slim young man with light skin, brown eyes, and mid-length straight hair. He was born with the "Snake and Fangs" seal of the Inumaki clan on his tongue and both cheeks. His Jujutsu High uniform was tailored with this in mind, fitted with a high collar with a zipper that covers his mouth. While training, Toge wears a zipped-up dark collared shirt underneath a white short sleeve shirt with athletic pants and shoes. Toge's initial impression leads people to believe he's a quiet, aloof, and distant person. Even after knowing him for two months, Yuta was still unfamiliar with Toge and intimidated by him. However, Toge is actually a highly insightful and caring individual. He is intelligent and understands the dangers of overwhelming power.

Toge chooses not to speak in a conventional manner in order to protect people from his cursed speech. Speaking in rice ball ingredients makes it difficult to understand him, but many of his friends have taken the time to learn how to communicate with him. Toge's cursed speech requires a high amount of stamina to use. It causes extreme throat irritation that can cause Toge to cough up blood if overused. Despite this, Toge continues fighting even after reaching his limit and can still unleash commands against higher level opponents. Toge possesses the "Snake Eyes and Fangs" seal of the Inumaki clan on his tongue and around both sides of his mouth. This allows Toge to infuse his words with cursed energy to improve the spirit of his commands, forcing all who hear it to obey. This power can target living beings and inorganic objects. The more demanding the command, the more of a toll it pays on Toge's body. Explode causes his opponent to explode violently, Crush causes them to implode violently instead. Plumment causes his opponent to experience gravity 2000x stronger than usual, instantly killing them. Don’t Move causes his opponent to be immobilized instantly, and Run Away does the opposite.

The team of Disaster Curses consists of Jogo, Choso, and Hanami.

As a Death Painting Womb, Choso is a half-human, half-cursed spirit who has a flesh and blood body that is fully visible even to non-sorcerers. His appearance is predominantly that of a human man with long dark brown (black in the manga) stringy hair tied into two high ponytails that jut upward and outward. Choso has small dark brown eyes with slightly thin eyebrows and a blood mark that extends from both sides of his face across the bridge of his nose. He can make this mark bleed at will in order to produce ammunition for his cursed technique, and the mark changes shape if he uses Flowing Red Scale. As far as clothing, Choso wears a loose, light tan robe that covers his torso, arms, and legs. It's worn underneath a purple gi-like vest that covers his torso in a "v" shape and has a bottom section that extends to Choso's waist and groin area. He also always sports a round scarf around his neck that matches his gi and brown boots.

In the anime, Choso has violet eyeshadow around his eyes and his hair is a light brown color. Choso is a very calm and reserved person who's fairly quiet and tends to fade into the background of social groups. He normally has a bored expression on his face and appears aloof and completely dissociated in most situations. Choso has the power of Blood Manipulation, Slicing Exorcism Unleashes sharpened blood that rapidly flies through the air and slices through Choso's target. He is capable of shaping it into long streams of blood at a wide range for hitting or forming it into a rotating chakram for a singular attack. Convergence compresses and condenses the blood to its absolute limit with cursed energy. It is one of Choso's most consecutively used techniques as it is key to charging up his most powerful attacks, Piercing Blood and Supernova. Blood Edge makes Choso wield dual blood daggers, and Piercing Blood fires a deadly blood beam from his hands, possessing incredible piercing power and blistering speed.

Jogo had a humanoid shape but his physical appearance was distinctly that of a cursed spirit. Jogo carried himself like an elderly man. He was relatively short compared to Mahito and Hanami, had a hunchback posture, and carried a cane with him. As described by Yuji Itadori, Jogo's head was shaped like a mountain (Mt. Fuji), specifically a volcano.[1]

Jogo had pale gray skin but the top of his head faded into a brown color where the volcanic opening was. He had a single cycloptic eye, two openings on the sides of his head that served as ears, and black teeth. Jogo normally plugged his ears with large corks but they would fly out if he lost his temper, which caused his head to erupt with flames.

Jogo wore an all-black outfit that consisted of a loose shirt with quarter-length sleeves with matching pants and shoes. He wore his signature yellow spotted cape over that along with a white scarf. Jogo was defined by his pride as a cursed spirit. He was an intelligent being who was resolute in all his beliefs, willing to give his life so long as his goals were achieved in the long run. On a personal level, Jogo was always ill-tempered, irritable, and very arrogant. Jogo possessed a volcanic innate technique that allowed him to produce highly concentrated cursed flames. He could generate flames or shoot heat rays from his palms or manifest small volcanic openings in the environment that erupted his powerful beams as well. Jogo's maximum technique generated a gigantic flaming meteor that he could hurl at his target. The impact caused immense destruction, enough so to decimate a large portion of Shibuya. Jogo has gone against Satoru Gojo, but lost miserably due to being heavily outclassed in every way, shape and form.

Hanami is a large tan cursed spirit with black lines running across their entire body. Hanami has a helmet-like head that doesn't cover their teeth, branches for where the eyes are supposed to be, and two black lines that zig zag down their face. Underneath the cloth that Hanami wears, Hanami's left arm is entirely black but the fingers are white while their right fingers are black. Hanami also has a larger flower on their left shoulder.

Hanami wears black, baggy pants secured by a white sash tied around their waist, and a white cloth over their left arm. Hanami is the type of spirit who cares for the planet that the humans have been abusing for thousands of years. They wish to kill humans in order to sacrifice them so they can be sages to a cleaner world controlled by cursed spirits that will respect the earth.[1] Hanami believes in Jogo's ideals along with Dagon, as they want to replace humanity with cursed spirits because they feel curses are the true humans.

In contrast to Hanami's peaceful convictions, Mahito has encouraged them to embrace their savagery as a spirit. In the heat of battle, Hanami learned to embrace their instincts and began to enjoy the thrill of the fight, allowing it to drive them forward beyond their limits. Hanami possesses an incredibly hard shell on their body, capable of shattering Kasumi Miwa's sword upon impact.[4] They were also effortlessly able to brush off Noritoshi Kamo's Slicing Exorcism attack despite it hitting the side of their head.[5] A clean slash to Hanami's leg from Megumi's sword also dealt zero damage.[6] Even after being hit directly in their blocking arm by Maki using the special grade cursed tool: Playful Cloud, they were sent flying away but only suffered minimal damage as a result. Hanami has a high degree of physical strength and can easily brutalize a human sorcerer in close range combat. Once Hanami finally closed the distance between them and Noritoshi, it only took a few strikes to incapacitate the sorcerer

Sukuna's true body is that of a tall, muscular man with four arms, four eyes, and a large mouth on his midriff. He has short pink-red hair and red eyes. His two right eyes are angled differently and located on a white plate-like structure made of flesh on the right side of his face. His body is covered in tattoos, which manifest on his vessel whenever he is in control, and are naturally present in his true form. The tattoos are mostly black lines on his wrists, ankles, upper arms, upper body, abdomen, and face. Large black dots are also tattooed on each his shoulders. When these tattoos manifest on a vessel with two arms, the lines encircling the upper arms and wrists are doubled, and circles form around the black dots on the shoulders. The vessels also gain a horizontal line on the bridge of the nose, and a crown-like symbol in the middle of their forehead. Sukuna's monstrous appearance led many to describe him as a demon with four arms and two faces,[1] although he was a mutant curse user rather than a cursed spirit. In his true body, Sukuna most often wears only a pair of pants, as his unique torso is difficult to clothe. Sukuna now takes the appearance of Yuji, but with his hair pushed upwards/backwards, and his signature tattoos. Sukuna is egotistical, hedonistic, psychopathic, exceptionally sadistic and selfish. Mass murder, suffering, and the screams of his victims are what the King of Curses relishes; this is best shown when he was reincarnated shortly after Yuji ingested his finger, after which he commented, implying the slaughter of women and children and likening them to maggots crawling around. Due to his immense power, he rarely cares about the consequences of his actions, even if these affect his host. In fact, he frequently taunts and insults Yuji, calling him a brat and even laughing at or enjoying Yuji's despair on multiple occasions.

Cursed Spirits (呪じゅ霊れい, Jurei?), or simply Curses (呪のろい, Noroi?), are a race of spiritual beings invisible to humans, incarnated from the cursed energy that leaks out of humans over time due to their negative emotions. Cursed spirits haunt and bring harm to humanity and are consequently the primary targets of jujutsu sorcerers and their exorcist work. Curses are created when cursed energy leaks from (non-sorcerer) humans as a result of their harboring of negative emotions. Cursed energy thus gathers in one spot, building up like sediment until a cursed spirit takes form. Populated locations such as schools and hospitals are hotspots for bearing curses because many negative emotions are associated with memories of those places.[3] This same concept applies humanity's collective fear and hatred. An image of fear shared by the masses can create a powerful curse even if the subject is not real, such as famous monsters or ghosts. It is the negative emotions that humanity directed at this image that causes it to manifest as a curse.

Longstanding negative feelings, such as humanity's collective relationship with plagues and natural disasters, results in a collection of cursed energy so massive the cursed spirits manifested from them have a consciousness related to those feelings. For example, humanity's fear and mistreatment of forests have directly resulted in Hanami, a very intelligent special grade cursed spirit who wants to free the earth of humans in order to protect the forests and trees from them.[4] Mahito is an exceptionally strong and intelligent curse that challenges the concept of the human soul itself because he was born from the hatred humans feel toward one another.[5]

Sorcerers must also be killed with jujutsu or they can become a vengeful cursed spirit after death. Cursed spirits bodies are entirely made up of cursed energy. Their metaphysical existence makes it impossible for non-sorcerers to perceive or touch them.

Jujutsu is often used as an umbrella term that includes all sorcery-related abilities that sorcerers and cursed spirits can access using cursed energy. It is also often used as a prefix for the vast majority of terms within the jujutsu society. Cursed Energy (呪じゅ力りょく, Juryoku?) is a power source produced from negative emotions, which can accumulate and ferment until a cursed spirit is manifested. Negative emotions such as grief and anger exist within every human being. Non-sorcerers constantly leak cursed energy from their bodies as a result, leading to the creation of cursed spirits. Sorcerers are trained to control their cursed energy instead of allowing it to leak from their bodies haphazardly. Cursed energy can be used to reinforce the user's body to grant them superhuman physical capabilities such as enhanced strength and durability. It is also used to fuel cursed techniques and charge talismans among other functions. The aggregate amount of an individual's cursed energy isn't determined by how many negative emotions they possess but by their innate talent for jujutsu. Residuals (残ざん穢え, Zan'e?) are traces of cursed energy left behind by jujutsu.[8] By examining it, the technique and its user can be tracked and identified. Expert jujutsu practitioners are able to hide their residuals or leave a purposeful trail as bait.

Divergent Fist (逕けい庭てい拳けん, Keitei Ken?): Yuji Itadori's signature punching jujutsu that strikes his opponents with a second delayed yet much stronger impact after the initial strike. Black Flash is a distortion in space that occurs when cursed energy is applied within a trillionth of a second of a physical hit. When a sorcerer is able to achieve this, their cursed energy flashes black, and the destructive power of their strike is equal to a normal hit to the power of 2.5. Unleashing Black Flash requires incredible concentration and no jujutsu sorcerer is capable of using it at will, not even Satoru Gojo. It does not occur randomly and requires immense skill and combat potential to pull off. According to Aoi Todo, the difference of the ability to understand the essence of cursed energy among those who have used Black Flash and those who have never used it is the difference between heaven and earth.[1] Kento Nanami, the former record holder for most consecutive uses of Black Flash, explains that using it consecutively is nothing impressive. Regardless of how the user achieved it the first time, whether through skill or simple luck, they enter a state where manipulating their cursed energy becomes something as simple and natural as breathing. It can result in a feeling of omnipotence, as if everything revolves around them.[4] This leads to a greatly increased performance in combat, allowing the user to operate at 120% of their maximum potential.

Sukuna has godhuman strength and speed, paired with durability and senses. The main abilities Sukuna uses are Dismantle, Cleave, Fuga, and Malevolent Shrine. Dismantle & Cleave are both multi-slicing attacks, all of which being invisible, and most importantly, undetectable unless expected. Sukuna also shares a blood relation with Yuji Itadori, with him being Yuji’s great uncle. This doesn cause Sukuna to be any nicer to Yuji, but just makes him somewhat aware of how similar Yuji is to him. Fuga is a flaming arrow of fire that explodes upon contacting anything, or explodes after a short amount of time. Malevolent Shrine is Sukuna’s Domain Expansion, with it being a domain with no barrier, expanding to a 200 mile wide radius at max, which can be altered by Sukuna’s choice. Malevolent Shrine is a constant barrage of infinitely cutting attacks from Dismantle and Cleave, making them slicing attacks in general. Sukuna’s soul was divided into 20 fingers, each finger being dried and looking grotesque. If ever consumed by someone, they have a 1/1,000,000 chance of becoming Sukuna’s new vessel, and Yuji became just that. Sukuna’s fingers are completely indestructible, so they have no way of being disposed, but can be contained. Sukuna’s fingers will draw in cursed spirits like moths to a flame if not contained properly.

Mahoraga is conjured by the user using an incantation that recites "With this treasure, I summon..." (布ふ瑠る部べ由ゆ良ら由ゆ良ら, Furube Yurayura?) before invoking the Divine General's name. Rather than form a shadow puppet with their hands to manifest the shikigami, the user simply extends both arms forward at a slight upward angle with their fists closed. The shikigami itself is a towering, muscular humanoid figure with 4 wings replacing it’s eyes, a tail-like appendage extending from the back of its head. Hovering just above it’s head is a large eight-handled wheel that rotates as Mahoraga responds to new stimuli. "Furu's Incantation" of the Ten Sacred Treasures and this wheel represent a "perfect cycle" and "harmony".[2] Mahoraga also sports black hakama bottoms and a white sash around its waist to cover most of its lower body.

Mahoraga has the strength to shatter concrete or to hit someone through multiple buildings with a single blow, and its speed is great enough to surprise even the likes of Satoru Gojo. Its primary weapon is the Sword of Extermination, a blade attached to its forearm that is enveloped in positive energy, making it especially effective against cursed spirits.[3]

The Divine General's most notable power is the adaptation (適てき応おう, tekiō?) to any and all phenomena, made visible through the turning of its wheel. If the General is hit by a particular attack, the wheel turns once the attack is analyzed, and Mahoraga adapts; if its adversary uses that same technique again, Mahoraga will counter it from then on.[4][5] Generally speaking, Mahoraga's adaptations can be defensive in nature (becoming physically resistant/immune to attacks while healing any injuries incurred pre-adaptation),[6][7] auxiliary (e.g., allowing the General to become able to see normally invisible attacks),[8] as well as offensive in nature (letting Mahoraga modify the properties of its own attacks to overcome and bypass enemy defenses.

Mahoraga's adaptation process begins analyzing an attack upon initially receiving it, with its progress being indicated by the number of times the eight-handled wheel spins. After a certain amount of time, the adaptation is completed. During this time, if Mahoraga is hit by the same attack additional times, the process is sped up each time. Even after its adaptation is complete, Mahoraga can continue its analysis and develop different ways to counter the phenomenon.[11]

If Mahoraga is tamed, its user can bear the burden of adaptation. This means the user can wear Mahoraga's wheel and experience attacks so the shikigami can adapt to them without incurring the risk of destruction. Once the process is completed, Mahoraga can be summoned with the results of the adaptation already in effect.

Mahoraga is the most uncontrollable shikigami in the history of the Ten Shadows Technique; no sorcerer of the Zenin Clan has ever managed to tame it. However, users of the Ten Shadows Technique can summon it via a ritual in an attempt to defeat and subjugate it at any time. Megumi overuses this, or at least tries to. If Megumi does ever happen to summon Mahoraga, Mahoraga is extremely likely to instantly kill Megumi by slamming and throwing his body across a wall.
Other people can be included in the ritual, but those individuals defeating the shikigami would not allow the Ten Shadows user to subsequently command it. As such, attempting to summon Mahoraga this way is considered rather pointless.

Aoi Todo is a tall young man who stands about the same height as Satoru Gojo.[3] He has a very defined, heavy muscular build and relatively tan skin. He has small black eyes and shoulder-length black hair that is almost always tied into a top-knot bun with unusual flyaway strands with rounded ends akin to multiple stamens of a flower, befitting the meaning of his name. One of his most notable features is the large scar running down the left side of Todo's face that he got from harsh training with Yuki.

While Todo sports his jujutsu high uniform, he usually takes his jacket off and rips the undershirt before or during the battle. He usually dons martial arts pants and slippers. Todo's choice of pants is very loose and stops above the ankle with a bright blue sash wrapped around the waist. He wore a tennis-type of outfit while playing ping-pong with Mei Mei, sporting a collared shirt and shorts rather than his normal outfit. Aoi Todo is a very unique person with an extremely eccentric attitude. He can come off as nothing more than a battle-crazed meathead to all his peers because not only does he enjoy posing and showing off his muscles but revels in the thrill of battle as well. Much of his personality also revolves around his very vocal love for his favorite tall pop-idol Takada-chan. He'll often bring her up in conversation and refuses to be late to any of her shows or meet and greets no matter what. Todo even visualizes talking to Takada sometimes when he has an inner dialogue with himself. Todo also has a locket with a picture of Takada and Yuji in it, symbolizing that the two are the most important people to him. When near defeat in battle, the locket will break open, revealing the two pictures to the enemy, the background will seemingly turn pink, and Takada will appear next to Todo, and assist heavily in battle, turning the tides completely by pounding the enemy to bits in his imagination, but to his opponent, it will look and feel real, every single hit.

Todo hates being bored more than anything else. He asks people what kind of girls do they like so he can get a read on them and his reaction to their replies can vary greatly. When Megumi gave a response to this question that Todo deemed as boring, he beat the first-year to a pulp. Todo was especially irritated in this case because Yuta Okkotsu, a worthy opponent, wouldn't be attending Todo's last Goodwill Event, so he felt it would be uneventful.[7][8] He also doesn't like any of his peers at Kyoto Jujutsu High because he's disappointed in their terrible taste in women. During the planning stage for Goodwill Event, Todo took absolutely zero interest in "exorcising Sukuna's vessel" and told his team and Principal Gakuganji that their schemes were stupid and he'd kill them if they tried to order him around again.

Yuji revealed that he has the same taste in women that Todo does, causing Todo's response to be drastically different from his reaction to Megumi. A memory of an event that never even occurred populated Todo's head which he honestly believed to be the truth. The memory was of Yuji comforting Todo after he was rejected by Takada. From that moment on in Todo's mind, he's always been best friends with Yuji and believes no one could beat them in their hometown. Even after coming back to reality, Todo shed tears and told Yuji they're best friends, confusing the first-year. Against most opponents, Aoi is more than capable of relying on raw physicality to win fights. A single strike against Megumi was able to send him reeling back several meters. His fighting style includes a barrage of powerful blows, stomps, and suplexes in quick succession. Aoi's oafish demeanor fools most people, but he's actually incredibly intelligent; claiming to have an IQ of 530,000. This is very obviously exaggerated. However, he used this to figure out his opponent’s movesets in only 0.1 seconds, and always knows when to use Boogie Woogie.

Aoi's innate technique allows him to switch the positions of anything with cursed energy within his range with a clap of his hands.[22][23] He can change himself out with the location of another person, or switch two different parties other than himself as well.[24] Though a clap is required to trigger the ability, he does not have to clap both of his hands specifically, as Todo is shown triggering Boogie Woogie by clapping Mahito's hand with his own.[25] Todo has managed to use his cursed technique to it’s absolute limit, allowing himself to swap positions with even inanimate objects, keeping said momentum as well, and his enhanced IQ has let him use Boogie Woogie to confuse and utterly disorient opponents, even Sukuna himself said “No matter how much you know of Boogie Woogie, it’s always just as confusing when you first encounter it.” Todo has never failed to use his technique to his disadvantage, always using it to assist himself or his teammates like Yuji or other sorcerers. He will easily humiliate and humble his opponents with his technique, single-handedly. He can also fakeout his technique’s usage, even if he does clap his hands, he can still make himself not swap.

As described by jujutsu sorcerers, Mahito is a human-looking cursed spirit with a patchwork face and gray eyes. (In the anime, Mahito possesses heterochromia, as his left eye is dark blue and his right eye is gray.) He has long grayish-blue hair that reaches past his neck and is sectioned off into three large strands with ties at the ends. Along with his face, Mahito has stitches all across his body that give him the appearance that he was sewn together.

Mahito normally sports a black shawl that is separated into three pieces on the left sleeve. He also wears matching pants with and sometimes without white shoes. Mahito is an immature and sadistic cursed spirit who enjoys toying with human emotions. He believes he was born from human transgressions and considers himself the manifestation of humans' hatred of each other. As such, Mahito supports human extermination and deems cursed spirits to be the true rulers of the world. Unlike his ally Jogo, who is short-tempered and arrogant, Mahito can remain relatively calm and playful upon confrontation with an enemy. Even so, they agree on the same goals for the future of their kind. He has a genuine friendship with the other curses, as he scolds Pseudo-Geto for putting Jogo in danger, protects Hanami from Haruta, and wants to avoid fighting with Jogo in Shibuya. Mahito is also very philosophical when it comes to the concept of souls. He believes the human soul existed before the body and is intrigued by its nature. His cursed technique is derived from this obsession, and he uses it to experiment on human victims to gain further knowledge.

Mahito has no sympathy for humans and appears to place little value even on his own life. He is devoted to the cause, believing that reviving Sukuna is more important than his own well-being. As long as cursed spirits eventually reign supreme, Mahito doesn't care if he's there to see it. Mahito’s true self comes out when near death, a hypocritical, cowardly pulp.

Mahito's cursed technique grants him the ability to reshape souls. Doing so allows him to disfigure the body of his victims, heal his own wounds, transform his appendages into weapons, and a variety of other possible transformations. Mahito can even create a clone that may use Idle Transfiguration on himself but not on others. Using Soul Multiplicity, Mahito can form the souls with weak rejection into one body. The result is a transfigured human that can attack Mahito's opponents on its own. A Polymorphic Soul Isomer is more stable than a regular transfigured human, as it doesn't seem to be capable of randomly dying mid-battle. A result of expending so many souls at once is the explosive power behind the Isomer's attacks, as they're strong enough to send a powerful sorcerer, like Aoi Todo, flying. However, the trade-off is the low durability of these transfigured humans, which was shown when Todo managed to take them down in just one punch for each. Mahito's Domain Expansion creates an environment where he is automatically connected with the souls of anyone inside and is capable of transfiguring them at will.[3] His control over the technique is flexible enough that, much like Satoru Gojo, he is capable of activating it for 0.2 second intervals.
