Yuki Tsukumo (girlfriend)

While Yuki can keep pace in a battle of wits with an incredibly experienced sorcerer like Kenjaku, even she makes mistakes. Not only did she underestimate Kenjaku in her strategy with Tengen,[35] but when Yuki attempted to exploit the time delay in Kenjaku's ability to manipulate gravity, she assumed that Star Fury could overcome any resistance from Cursed Spirit Manipulation. While this was a safe assumption, it was reckless and proved to be incorrect, something Yuki herself acknowledged.[36]

Even in defeat, Yuki quickly improvised a maneuver to take down her opponent with her in a last-ditch effort to do what was necessary for the greater good.

Immense Stamina: Yuki is exceptionally resilient for a human and possesses a high pain tolerance. She suffered a direct hit from Womb Profusion that caused a severe head injury and completely shattered her right arm. Not only was Yuki able to move despite her injuries, but she also kept her innate technique active and fought Kenjaku on equal footing in close combat. [27] Although her body quickly reached its limit due to her injuries, Yuki fought through them and continued to use her shattered body to pressure Kenjaku alongside Choso. [28] Yuki even managed to move and activate with her forked body, fighting to the very end. [29]

Intelligence Great tactical intellect: While her wit isn't always apparent due to her straightforward nature, Yuki is as intelligent as she is strong, approaching every situation with great foresight. Thanks to her advanced knowledge of jiu-jitsu, Yuki carefully analyzes her opponent's every move during combat, mentally noting each technique used and every countermeasure taken.

Master of Hand-to-Hand Combat: Yuki is primarily a hand-to-hand combatant who complements her martial arts with her innate technique to unleash devastating attacks. In her first hand-to-hand fight with Kenjaku, she was able to use a single punch to break his guard and send him flying. [24] Yuki kept Kenjaku, an excellent taijutsu practitioner, on the defensive for most of their close-quarters exchanges. Even with a broken arm and numerous other injuries, Yuki was able to pressure Kenjaku with flurries of kicks and other improvised attacks. [25] A fully healed Yuki easily overpowered Kenjaku at close range and nearly defeated him.

The expansion of Kenjaku's domain severely injured Tsukumo only because she chose to rely on Tengen's help, and her countermeasures were seriously miscalculated. Yuki's simple domain couldn't withstand Kenjaku's, but using her own would likely have had a different outcome. [19][20] Yuki continued to fight despite her injuries and, with Choso's help, cornered the curse user. [21]

Despite initially believing Choso would only hold her back, Yuki fought effectively alongside Choso even with her body shattered, skillfully using the Reverse Curse technique to heal herself while Choso kept his opponent at bay. Once healed, Yuki quickly regained momentum with her sheer destructive power, but Kenjaku outmaneuvered her and delivered an unexpected, fatal blow. [22] Yuki fought to the very end and used her innate technique to transform into a black hole with the potential to destroy the world. She suppressed her power with her will and averted catastrophe, impressing even the callous Kenjaku.

General skill level: Yuki is an extremely powerful fighter, one of the four special-grade sorceresses who possess incredibly unconventional abilities. Jujutsu Headquarters was almost completely unaware of Yuki's powers, despite having assigned her a special grade, but she has stood up for her allies and demonstrated her skills against some of the strongest opponents available.

Yuki possesses elite combat instincts and is highly skilled in jujutsu, capable of utilizing her innate technique, barrier techniques, and domain expansion. She is also fully capable of instructing students and fostering elite talent despite not being a teacher at Jujutsu High School. Yuki introduced Aoi Todo to jujutsu and guided him to become the exceptional Rank 1 sorcerer he is today. His training was extremely grueling, enough to leave a permanent physical scar on Todo. Todo has demonstrated the benefits of her imparted knowledge time and again, including learning Simple Mastery thanks to her. Yuki demonstrated her strength by effortlessly repelling Uraume's Ice Cascade technique using only Garuda. Uraume had single-handedly overpowered a large group of sorcerers, who were saved by Yuki's intervention. [17] Yuki used her full strength against Kenjaku and effortlessly exorcised one of his special-grade curses with her first attack. Her second attack sent Kenjaku flying, causing him to question whether he could even tame the wild beast known as Yuki Tsukumo.

As a former Star Plasma Vessel, Yuki has a particularly complicated relationship with Tengen. She agreed to protect them alongside Choso during the Killing Game because she wanted to speak with Tengen. Yuki disagrees with Tengen's methods for preserving his immortality and resents them for constantly sacrificing young women. She even stated that she would have allied herself with the Time Vessel Association if their goal had been to capture Riko Amanai instead of killing her. Yuki can hear her fellow vessels within Tengen and refuses to speak to him about them because she considers them undeserving and it is her duty not to make things easier for them. Yuki's ideology led to a deep conversation with Suguru Geto about how to exterminate curses. Unwittingly, she led Geto to consider killing everyone who wasn't a sorcerer to rid the world of cursed spirits. Yuki admitted it was a viable option, but also made it clear that she would never do it. She saw that Geto was struggling with his morality as a sorcerer and advised him to decide how he felt about the other side so he could move forward. Yuki even tried to reassure him about Riko Amanai's death.

Yuki is a very tall young woman with a slender but athletic build and fair skin. She has long blonde hair that falls down her back, with two strands framing her face. She has large brown eyes (pink in the manga), thin eyebrows, and prominent eyelashes.

She has worn several different outfits, but currently appears in the anime wearing a heathered indigo tank top, similar to the attire of Chinese martial artists, with a gold mandarin collar. The tank top is tucked into high-waisted stone-blue jeans that cover most of her abdomen, with a gray button-down bodice underneath. She completes this outfit with brown heeled boots.
