OCCUPATION

Student Sorcerer Jujutsu AFFILIATION Zenin Family (formerly) Tokyo Jujutsu High School QUALIFICATION Grade 4

Currently a second-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High, Maki is the daughter of Ogi Zenin and the older twin sister of Mai Zenin, and was born into the Zenin clan.

Born a non-sorcerer into one of the Three Great Sorcerer Families, Maki was constantly mistreated and felt forced to expel herself from the Zenin clan. She aspires to be a great jujutsu sorceress to spite her family, working closely with her friends Panda and Toge Inumaki, while also serving as a role model for the underclassmen.

Appearance

Maki is a young woman with a tall, athletic build. She has small, golden eyes and long, black hair (dark green in the anime) usually tied in a short ponytail. She had bangs of hair over her forehead with smaller strands framing her cheeks and often sported different pairs of glasses that allowed her to see curses.

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

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

Personality

Maki is a very stubborn and straightforward person who tries to get ahead without needing anyone else's help. She is extremely strong-willed, capable, and motivated to escape the standards placed on her by the 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 to Maki being constantly 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 the foundation of their way of life and reject it completely.

Maki can appear quite cold at times, even to her classmates. She is the leader type, but Maki is very harsh towards others and tends to be impatient and short-tempered. Maki does not seem to respect Satoru Gojo as a person due to his very dim-witted attitude. Even as her teacher and senior, Maki often refers to him as an idiot. She was initially very mean to Yuta due to his timid attitude and openly 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 that they weren't so different. She asked Yuta why he enrolled in the school and he told her that he wanted it to be acceptable for him to live. Maki told him that this is what Jujutsu High is all about and encouraged him to use his curse to save people.

Maki trained Yuta hard because she wants to see him grow stronger and fight by her side. Something she would later impart to Megumi and Nobara as her senpai. She has taught them all very advanced situational awareness and how to properly handle a variety of weapons, even if they had to take a lot of beatings in the process.

Maki has suppressed a lot of her emotions to maintain her signature tough exterior. She hasn't expressed any romantic interest in anyone and Panda enjoyed teasing her about this when they were first-year students. When it came to Yuta, this embarrassed Maki enough to attack Panda in a bad mood.

After their first meeting with Suguru Geto, Maki and Yuta talked about why Geto referred to her as the "failure of the Zenin clan". Initially, Maki took it as if being born a non-sorcerer gave her a perfect excuse to leave because she hated the clan for a variety of other reasons. When Yuta asked why Maki chooses to be a sorcerer and Maki stated that it's because she has a bad personality and wants to be a grade 1 sorcerer to spite the Zenin clan.

Yuta admires Maki's strength and revealed that he wants to be like her, strong and resilient. Yuta awkwardly offered to help her move forward with the Zenin clan, but she called him an idiot and said it was something she needed to do alone. She had spent so long pushing away the need to feel accepted that she became flustered when Yuta kindly acknowledged her strength. Maki left the conversation to regain her composure and then reminded herself that she shouldn't feel like she's finally been acknowledged.

As a second-year student, Maki has an aura of leadership and guides her third-year students appropriately. She gravitates towards Megumi Fushiguro because he is also a former member of the Zenin clan and they get along well. She feels comfortable teasing him even if he is harsh and this can make her seem like a "cold-hearted demon" at times. When she found Megumi sulking with Nobara Kugisaki, she jokingly asked them if they had just attended a funeral. However, this was ironically after the death of her classmate, Yuji Itadori. This made Maki feel really guilty and as usual, she lashed out at Panda in a rage for not informing her sooner. Even after the accident, Maki was still unsure if taking things easy on the first-year students would have been a kindness.

Maki is someone with a grudge and is always determined to prove herself. For the Kyoto Goodwill Event, she needed strong teammates to help her show off her skills on a public stage where she couldn't be denied. She encouraged Megumi and Nobara to get stronger for their fallen ally and thought it was the perfect opportunity to put her juniors in their place.

Maki doesn't seem to be concerned with the moral aspects of being a sorcerer and is more focused on personal goals. While training, Megumi asked Maki what kind of people she wanted to save as a sorcerer, but she doesn't think about those kinds of things. This clearly upset Megumi, which in turn angered Maki. She decided to compromise and told Megumi that they could talk about it 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 Maki grew older, she realized that she couldn't live under the thumb of an oppressive family while Mai was content to do so. Leaving Mai behind caused the only person Maki cared about in the clan to resent her as well. Mai was punished for Maki's departure by being pressured into becoming a sorceress despite wanting to live a normal life. She grew to hate Maki when they were both at Jujutsu High.

Mai treated Maki like she was worthless because she lacked a significant amount of cursed energy. This is the same kind of taunt that most of the Zenin clan threw at Maki her entire life, so it didn't seem to bother Maki much. In the stance where Mai and Nobara fought, Maki told her twin that they were both useless because Mai isn't that talented, she can only charge weapons with cursed energy.

This revelation surprised Nobara, who asked the same question as Yuta: 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 have to win in order to prove the Zenin clan wrong. At the time, it bothered her, but only because Maki doesn't want others to worry about her. Remembering her classmate's recognition of her ability later on made Maki smile.

Maki did not actively attempt to repair her relationship with Mai and participated in their sibling rivalry to some extent. After defeating Mai, Maki is asked to explain why she did not stay at the bottom and fall down the hole with her sister. This saddened Maki, who replied that she would have hated herself and apologized to Mai for leaving. Maki walked away without a clear resolution and continued the event, leaving their relationship still fractured.

Despite her troubled past, Maki was able to operate cordially on missions with other members of the Zenin clan. She shared a squad with the clan boss during the Shibuya Incident. Naobito Zenin was acting very lazy in Shibuya, so Maki took on the leadership role to help guide Nobara and Akari Nitta. She would tell them to ignore him whenever he asked them for something outside of the mission.

Maki and Naobito eventually split up and encountered Kento Nanami, quickly causing tension between them. Naobito mentioned that he wouldn't mind if Satoru remained sealed and Maki told him to leave Shibuya if he wasn't 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 too dangerous a level for her. She ignored this and claimed that she would be more help than a drunk like Naobito, causing Nanami to become more upset with him for drinking on the job. However, this was before Maki saw Naobito's capabilities as a sorcerer. She and Nanami were taken aback 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 does not like being teased and is quick to insult anyone, no matter who they are. Within his domain, Dagon called Maki the weakest one there. After surviving a harsh blow that surely hurt her, Maki responded by boldly mocking Dagon and directly confronting the special grade again. Maki told the "octopus" that if he was going to call her weak, then he should have just killed her with that blow. Maki was also upset with herself for not bringing Playful Cloud out earlier in preparation for tougher battles instead of waiting for permission. She was happy to see Megumi when he invaded the domain and gave Playful Cloud to her. She smiled and her way of expressing gratitude to her son was to call Megumi a conceited brat.

Personality

Overall Skill Level: Maki's Fourth Grade ranking does not reflect her actual skill level at all. She was born a non-mage, but has always had tremendous physical abilities, gifted through heavenly restrictions in exchange for her extremely low cursed energy. By mastering the use of weapons and studying curses at Jujutsu High, she has become a jujutsu mage.

Satoru Gojo and Mei Mei coincidentally agreed that as second-year students, 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 delay her promotion despite the fact that she can exorcise a Grade 2 cursed spirit with ease.

All of Maki's close companions acknowledge how powerful she is, Yuji Itadori could tell just by looking at her that she has an aura of strength. Even so, her opponents often underestimate her. She wields quality cursed tools with proficiency and her restricted heavenly physical prowess is surpassed only by Yuji's superhuman abilities.

At the 2018 Goodwill Event, Maki made short work of Kasumi Miwa and Mai, one after the other. Kasumi realized that Mai was completely wrong in calling Maki weak and believed that she would exorcise a grade 2 curse with ease. In a fight between weapon users, Maki effortlessly overpowered Miwa and took away her katana. Mai tried her best to use tricks to outclass 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 was able to hold her own with Megumi's help and bought enough time for reinforcements to arrive.

Maki also proved to be an asset in the harrowing battles of Shibuya despite being told to return by Naobito and Nanami. She was a step slower than the experienced Grade 1 sorcerers at the start of the fight with Dagon and was rescued at one point by Naobito, but Maki continued to improve throughout the battle. Within Dagon's domain, Maki survived his initial attack and even launched an effective counterattack against the special grade with the help of Megumi.

Fighting her father, Maki was able to overwhelm her opponent in a sword duel but was eventually struck down by Ogi using jujutsu. As Mai explained, Maki was never able to reach her full potential because the little bit of cursed energy she had was only holding her back. Twins are treated as the same person in jujutsu and Mai was the one born with the innate cursed technique. In exchange for sacrificing her life and taking all of the cursed energy between them, Mai was able to free Maki from the cursed energy and grant her a body of steel.

Maki's restricted Celestial Body improved immensely, 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 slaughtered all of the Kukuru Unit members when they had her completely surrounded. The Hei then immediately ambushed her with all of their cursed techniques only for Maki to destroy them all with a single cursed tool.

Even Naoya, who inherited Naobito's cursed technique and refused to accept that Maki could be Toji's successor in strength, was surpassed by his newfound power. Maki has surpassed Naobito, who once saved her. She has shown the ability to wipe out one of the Three Great Sorcerer Clans and is untraceable now that she does not have any cursed energy.

Maki gained a body of steel, but the mental shackles prevented her from maximizing her potential until she changed her way of thinking. 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 could not close the gap in skills between herself and Toji because she had become content to be like her peers and did not allow herself to thrive in areas where only she could excel. After some guidance from Rokujushi Miyo, Maki freed her mind and realized that 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 effortlessly killed him. Twelve years after his death, a god of war equal to Toji Zenin has been fully realized in Maki.

Fully awake, Maki was able to take on a fifteen-fingered Sukuna as she fought alongside Yuji. Sukuna was in an unpolished state and Maki held her own against him in hand-to-hand combat, even shaking off a direct hit from him.

Master Weapon Specialist: Maki is touted as the best cursed tool user at Tokyo Jujutsu High. Capable of wielding a wide variety of different weapons, Maki has mastered all types of armed combat styles. She seems to prefer using polearms and spears in battle, but is fully capable of switching between multiple weapons over the course of a single fight.

Maki's skill with weapons is also shown in her ability to teach others how to use them. She helped give Yuta a solid foundation for hand-to-hand combat by training him in the use of a katana. He became a decent sparring partner after three months and eventually became a talented swordsman. Maki is also responsible for teaching Megumi how to fight in hand-to-hand combat. He was extremely deficient at the beginning of his first year at Jujutsu High, but she has shown him how valuable hand-to-hand combat is. She helped him realize that he could keep weapons in his shadow and motivated him to learn how to fight with a variety of different types 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 of her own spear and used it as a projectile to close the distance. Using aikido's disarming to take an opponent's weapon, Maki stole Kasumi's sword.

Maki used the katana to attack Hanami, and although the blade shattered with the first strike, Maki was able to quickly adapt and switch to the three-section staff, Playful Cloud, to fight. Megumi noted that it was difficult for him to use Playful Cloud. Maki was able to utilize it to fight on par with special-grade cursed spirits. She and Megumi exchanged weapons several times against Hanami to take the curse by surprise, and were able to do so comfortably.

Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Maki is well-trained in various forms of hand-to-hand combat and usually uses melee alongside her weaponry. While her hands are usually busy fighting with weapons, Maki likes to throw kicks at the same time. While fighting Mai, Maki cut off her foothold with a katana and then delivered a devastating kick to her sister's body that sent her flying through the air.

Unlike Yuji, Maki was usually unable to display her martial arts skills because she needed cursed tools to be a sorceress. Maki, however, used hand-to-hand combat to beat many members of the Zenin clan with her enhanced steel body. Chojuro and Nobuaki were killed with Maki's bare hands and she defeated Naoya with a single blow after stopping many of his early high-speed attacks. After unlocking her full potential, Maki even bested Sukuna in a few exchanges during their fight.

High Tactical Intellect: Maki was raised in one of the top sorcerer clans, so she has a solid understanding of the important aspects of the jujutsu world. While she usually seeks to dominate her opponents with her physical abilities, Maki is also a highly intelligent fighter. She has proven leadership skills and gives effective orders within her squad to work together as a unit. As the de facto leader of Team Tokyo at the Goodwill Event, Maki came up with the strategy to counter Aoi Todo's one-track mind and brute strength. She and Megumi were also quick to realize that Team Kyoto's formation was intended to assassinate Yuji. In Shibuya, their plan was to have Nobara and Akari leave the barrier and rescue Ijichi.

Against her father, Maki formulated a good plan to win a sword exchange 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 was eventually able to discover.

Immense Strength: Maki has always possessed extraordinarily high levels of strength for a human. She knocked out Aoi Todo with a baseball to the face and broke a wooden weapon on her thigh, something no normal person is physically capable of. 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 damage two powerful Special Grade Cursed Spirits on her own.

As with all of her physical abilities, Maki's strength grew tremendously after her cursed energy was completely removed. It is more than enough to fight back against cursed techniques. Maki easily broke free from the stone hand attack Chojuro hit her with and broke free from Ranta's paralysis using brute force and willpower. Coupled with the speed at which Naoya was closing in on her, the brute force in Maki's left hand paralyzed the right side of her opponent's face to end their fight.

Immense Agility and Reflexes - Maki has incredible speed to match her strength and moves well enough in a fight for Hanami to acknowledge her agility. She makes sudden movements and remains very mobile in a fight with great precision. Against Mai's revolver, Maki effortlessly dodged and dodged her sister's barrage of bullets. Not only did she cut a bullet in half with a katana, Maki even moved fast enough to catch a bullet just inches from her face using incredibly cunning reflexes.

After escaping the cursed energy, Maki's body could move and react fast enough to compete with Naoya's Projection Sorcery, allowing her to break through subsonic speed. She killed Chojuro and Nobuaki before either of them knew what happened. In her final moments, they both noticed how Maki's speed had grown so much that she had become unrecognizable. Once fully realized, Maki's speed has reached levels inconceivable to a human being. Naoya, a curse that can move three times the speed of sound, was unable to catch her.

Immense Endurance: Though she never had any effective resistance to curses, Maki has always been tough. Her innate physical toughness saved her life when she was burned at point-blank range by Jogo's cursed technique. No amount of curse tolerance saved Naobito from similar injuries.

While Maki was very durable, she was eventually cut open and incapacitated by her father. Maki's enhanced steel body healed her wounds and had greatly enhanced durability that surpassed the Zenin clan's cursed techniques with sheer physical prowess. Maki took a direct hit from Chojuro's gigantic stone hands crashing into each other, something Nobuaki believed should have completely immobilized her, and burst out of the stone a few moments later.

Cursed Energy Manipulation

Zero Cursed Energy - Maki originally possessed very low levels of cursed energy, even less than the average non-sorcerer. She was unable to see curses without cursed energy-imbued glasses, the most basic requirement to be considered a sorcerer. This was despite Maki being born into a powerful sorcerer clan, due to being born a twin, which is unfavorable to sorcerers. Treated as one person in jujutsu, Mai had the cursed technique and most of the cursed energy between the twins. With Mai's sacrifice, she took all of the cursed energy between them, making Maki the second known person to completely escape cursed energy after Toji. Much like Toji, Maki is completely undetectable without cursed energy and is treated like a building by barriers. Domains also have no effect on Maki. She cannot be confined to a barrier unless the caster uses an actual structure as the barrier's exterior or she consents. A domain's sure attack can't target Maki without cursed energy. The small amount of cursed energy Maki possessed was holding back his Heavenly Restriction. In exchange for completely escaping the cursed energy, Maki was granted a "body of steel" with capabilities even beyond Yuji's. Her prowess is now comparable to Toji's, especially after learning to utilize her body's capabilities to the fullest. Not only does she possess superhuman strength and speed, but Maki can see inorganic matter and pick up on normally imperceptible changes in air density and temperature.

Equipment

Cursed Tools:

As a first-year student, Maki's signature weapon was a red naginata cursed tool with gold tips and a pink cloth. She used it to exorcise several cursed spirits, but it was broken in her fight with Suguru Geto. Maki's Glasses (anime) Maki's low cursed energy makes her unable to see curses or jujutsu naturally. Her glasses are actually a cursed tool that grants her these abilities. She disliked the first pair very much and they broke in her fight with Suguru Geto. She later replaced her original glasses and wore a new pair until they too broke in Shibuya. After the incident, Maki put her glasses back on. This pair was similar to the first, more round in shape. However, she also broke this pair during her confrontation with her father. Maki's second year glasses (Anime) Maki's polearm in the Goodwill Event (Anime) During the Goodwill Event, Maki wielded a long naginata polearm with a cursed black blade decorated with fur 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 sword during her fight with Hanami after trying to cut through its hard shell. Maki using Megumi's Black Sword (Anime) Maki kept her arsenal in Megumi's shadow, allowing them to share a set of weapons. Among those weapons was Megumi's Black Sword. The duo momentarily swapped weapons to get rid of Hanami.

Playful Cloud (游ゆう雲うん, Yū-un?): A special-grade cursed tool recovered from Suguru Geto. It is a three-section staff that is described as being pure power, relying entirely on the user's physical strength. Maki wielding Dragon Bone Dragon Bone (竜りゅう骨こつ, Ryūkotsu?) is Juzo Kumiya's magnum opus. It can accumulate strength and cursed energy, as well as expel it out 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 Dragon-Bone. She was first forced to use it in a duel with her own father. Maki and Mai's Sword The sword Mai left to Maki is an exact replica of the Split Soul Katana (釈しゃく魂刀こんとう, Shakukon Tō ? ). It is Maki's last connection to her sister, and possesses the ability to bypass any physical resistance to directly cut through the soul of any target. Conventional weapons Maki Ready to Train Early Years (Anime) For training, Maki uses a metal polearm to practice her spearmanship skills. She also allowed Megumi to practice using it to increase her weapon prowess.
