Yuji Itadori

Having agreed to these harsh conditions for the sake of saving strangers, Yuji transfers to the capital's magic college, where, under the watchful guidance of Gojo, he begins to master the basics of manipulating cursed energy and forms a strong friendship with Megumi and Nobara Kugisaki. Itadori is characterized by striking friendliness, sincerity, deep empathy, and a rare optimism that helps him remain steadfast even in the most dire and life-threatening situations. He reverently honors his grandfather's last will, which, before his death, asked his grandson to always help others and die surrounded by those who love him. Therefore, Yuji is willing to risk his own life without hesitation to protect any innocent person. In combat, he relies on a devastating combination of his colossal natural strength and cursed energy, allowing him to successfully use a unique technique called the Diverging Fist, and later master Black Lightning, a complex spatial phenomenon that greatly increases the force of a physical blow. Yuji's greatest internal tragedy is his constant forced companionship with the cruel Sukuna, who is trapped within his soul and regularly displays disdain for human weakness, refusing to aid the vessel and constantly waiting for the right moment to seize control of his body. As the dangerous plot unfolds, Yuji encounters the unimaginable cruelty of curses and loses close friends and mentors, forcing him to rapidly mature and rethink the value of human life, transforming him from a naive teenager into a steadfast, unyielding warrior. Despite severe psychological trauma, physical pain, and the constant awareness that his own life path inevitably leads to a tragic end, Itadori stubbornly continues to fight for a brighter future, remaining true to his moral principles, his true friends, and the noble goal of cleansing this cruel world of the taint of curses.

Yuji Itadori is an exceptionally gifted high school student whose routine is dramatically changed by the tragic death of his beloved grandfather and a fateful encounter with a young mage named Megumi Fushiguro. Before this turning point, Yuji grew up quite ordinary, save for his incredible, almost superhuman strength, agility, and astonishing endurance, which allowed him to easily break world athletic records without any grueling training, though he sincerely preferred spending his free time in the school's half-empty Occult Research Club, socializing with his friends. A world of magic and curses invisible to ordinary people suddenly bursts into his reality when the members of his club accidentally remove the protective seal from an ancient, sinister, high-ranking artifact found on school grounds, thereby attracting hordes of aggressive monsters. Trying to save his defenseless comrades and Megumi from certain death in an unequal battle, Yuji takes a desperate and insane step that forever determines his fate: he completely swallows the withered finger of Sukuna, the dangerous Two-Faced Cloth and legendary King of Curses. Defying all laws of magic and logic, the monstrous dark energy does not instantly destroy the fragile mortal teenager's body. Instead, Yuji manages to maintain complete control of his mind and becomes the perfect living vessel for this ancient evil. This rare, phenomenal event immediately attracts the close attention of the magical community's highest authorities, who see him as a huge potential threat and initially sentence him to immediate death for the safety of all. However, thanks to the timely intervention of the most powerful mage of our time, Satoru Gojo, the execution of this harsh sentence is temporarily postponed on one crucial condition: Yuji must absorb all of Sukuna's remaining fingers.
