* AbandonmentInducedAnimosity: The real reason Mai feels so much resent towards Maki is because she left her behind when she left the Zen'in Clan instead of "staying at the bottom" with her. Because Maki left Mai behind, she was pressured by the clan to become a stronger sorcerer in order to punish Maki, which left Mai less than thrilled since she never wanted to be a sorcerer in the first place.

* AlphaBitch: Passive-aggressive, condescending and insensitive, it's mostly a mask though. This especially applies to Maki, who she has her reasons for treating this way, and Nobara, [[SitcomArchnemesis who she doesn't.]]
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Mai actively resents Maki for her strength and skill despite her lack of a Cursed Technique. Somewhat subverted in that she's resentful not because she's weaker, but because her sister's strength and pursuit of self improvement drove her into being forced into jujutsu training as well, despite the fact that Mai would be quite content not being a sorcerer at all.

* ShipTease: A lot with Kokichi. On Valentine's Day she gives him a double-A battery instead of chocolate. Later, Miwa opens up to an inactive Mechamaru puppet, believing Kokichi be asleep, revealing that she wishes to meet him in person one day despite his condition, [[spoiler:not knowing that Kokichi is already dead at that point. She's shown to be the most devastated by his death when she does find out, holding a small Mechamaru puppet close to her heart as she imagines Kokichi sitting beside her.]]

* EvilIsNotAToy: [[spoiler: Kokichi serves as a mole to Geto's group so that they in return would heal his body to a functional state. He does this despite the fact that they are planning to destroy humanity and despite knowing that they plan to kill ''him'' imediately after carrying out their end of the bargain. He thinks [[FaustianRebellion he is powerful enough to take them on]] after his body is healed. [[CharacterDeath He is wrong.]]]]
* FindingJudas: [[spoiler:Kokichi fed Geto info on how to invade the exhibition, because Mahito was the only one who could heal his body. However, Kokichi wasn't only planning to kill Geto and Mahito himself, he prepared a way to support his teammates even if he failed and died. Kokichi also wanted Geto to keep away from his classmates specifically, but that wasn't covered by the binding vow.]]

* MustMakeAmends: [[spoiler:He knows selling information to Geto will allow the Shibuya Incident to proceed as planned, but goes along with it anyway to get the healthy body he's always wanted. As soon as he gets it, however, Kokichi does everything in his power to undo the damage he's caused, trying to prevent the Shibuya Incident from happening all together. After dying in the attempt, it's revealed he planned a post-mortem contingency that allows him to communicate with the heroes from beyond the grave to save Gojo from Prison Realm. Witnessing the events of Shibuya first hand causes Kokichi to be disgusted at himself and his own selfishness for allowing it to all happen in the first place.]]

* SuperStrength: He has enough brute force to face Yuji in combat, and first starts out his fight with him by punching clean through a cursed Spirit and briefly knock Yuji backwards. He also effortlessly smashes through Hanami's oversized roots while also tossing him around like he was nothing.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: Even by the low standards of Sorcerers, Todo's pretty damn out there in terms of personality. He's obsessed with his favorite idol Takada and prioritizes watching her shows or going to her fan meetups over exorcising curses, introduces himself to guys by asking what type of girls (or guys) they're into believing a person with boring tastes makes them a boring person, and while typically an uncontrollable BloodKnight if he encounters someone who has the same taste in woman as him, like Yuji, he immediately declares them his best friend to the point he fabricates an entire fake backstory showing they've been friends all their lives. None of this stops him from being an utter demon in battle or a surprisingly effective mentor.
* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:Chapter 259 of the Shinjuku Showdown Arc sees him returning to the story with him showing up to assist Yuji in fighting Sukuna.]]

* {{Determinator}}: He [[spoiler: ''slices off his own hand'' with zero hesitation during the above-mentioned AmputationStopsSpread moment. And even though Mahito hits him with a [[CriticalHit Black Flash]] immediately afterwards, he still remains cognizant enough to pull one last fake-out with Boogie Woogie to give Yuji can enough time to charge up his Cursed Energy and land another Black Flash]].
* DidNotThinkThisThrough: He recommended Yuji be promoted to Grade 1 Sorcerer because he believed it was his destiny for him to be the one to accompany Yuji on missions that would help him get stronger and earn the rank of Grade 1. When Mei Mei points out the sorcerers who recommend others for promotion can't be the ones who accompany them on missions, Todo freezes in place as he undergoes a comedic HeroicBSOD.

* ExactWords: To activate "Boogie Woogie", Todo must claps his hands. However, just because Todo claps his hands doesn't mean he's using his technique. This is a misdirection he uses to his advantage against Hanami. [[spoiler:And while Todo must clap hands, they do not have to be both of ''his'' hands. After Todo maims his left hand to avoid Mahito's Idle Transfiguration, the latter believes this means that he cannot use his technique anymore. However, Todo was able to clap hands with the unaware spirit to the same effect.]]

* FastballSpecial: A trademark of his since he can swap himself or a teammate of his out with a Cursed Energy infused object like a piece of rubble or his opponent's projectiles. He also physically throws Yuji at Mahito hard enough for him to smash through the train platform they were fighting on. He is himself subject to this in the anime when Yuji throws a pebble and Todo swaps into it's place to deliver an [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia All Might]]-style Black Flash.

* GeniusDitz: He may have a self-proclaimed IQ of 530,000 and need to get insight from imaginary conversations with his idol crush Takada, but he Todo is a skilled Jujutsu sorcerer, an expert strategist in combat and a surprisingly philosophical and effective mentor to Yuji.

* HopeBringer: Gege has described him as being designed to make the reader feel everything is alright just by being on panel. [[spoiler:Sure enough, both times Yuji's been on the verge of the DespairEventHorizon, it's been Todo to show up to snap his 'brother' out of it and restore his resolve.]]

** Despite being a SinkOrSwimMentor during the Goodwill Event, when Todo encounters Yuji during the Shibuya Incident [[spoiler:he doesn't judge Yuji for going through a [[HeroicBSOD nervous breakdown]] over Sukuna using his body to commit mass murder, and Mahito murdering Nobara and Nanami right in front of him. Instead Todo calls him a "man among men" and tells him that as jujutsu sorcerers, looking for meaning in the deaths of his comrades may be disrespectful to them. Instead he encourages Yuji to determine what it was his comrades entrusted him with before they died, and act to make it a reality, since then, they won't have died in vain. Todo then singlehandedly holds off Mahito despite being unable to actually damage him, buying time for Yuji to compose himself before clapping him back in, so the two of them can take on the cursed spirit together.]]

* {{Foil}}: To Megumi. Both were illegitimate children of the three ruling families of the Jujutsu world who ended up being actively desired for the position of heir after the legitimate children proved insufficent, but Noritoshi openly accepts and displays a sense of obligation regarding it due to his mother, while Megumi openly rejects it and wants nothing to do with the family.

* UnexpectedSuccessor: Being an illegitimate child, no one expected he'd be remotely fit to become heir to the Kamo family. It was only because of the legitimate children proving insufficient in their Cursed Technqiues that he ended up becoming heir. [[spoiler:He later loses his position as clan heir following the Shibuya incident due to Kenjaku retaking control of the clan for his own ends.]]

to:

* BewareTheSillyOnes: Todo is bonkers, obsessed with an idol, introduces himself by asking what kind of girl someone likes, and hallucinates an entire backstory with Yuji on the spot. He's also one of the strongest students at either Jujutsu school and capable of tearing 1st Grade Curses apart without even using his Technique and he and Yuji make one of the best teams in the series.

* ConfusionFu: His Cursed Technique, "Boogie Woogie", is incredibly simple on the surface. He can change the positions of himself and someone else by clapping his hands. But it's the esoterics of this ability that make Todo a dangerous man to face. He doesn't ''have'' to use it when he claps his hands, allowing him to fake out his opponents to create openings. He can also teleport anything with cursed energy, not just people or things within his view but anything he's aware of's position, letting him move other things into his enemy's path or SummonToHand Maki's Playful Cloud by swapping it out with Yuji because Megumi told him where it was beforehand.

If he's got a partner like Yuji who he's in complete sync with, it makes for one of the best support Techniques in the series and is absurdly difficult to defend against.



* DePower: [[spoiler:Because he needs to amputate a hand to save himself from Mahito's Idle Transfiguration, it permanently brings an end to his Boogie Woogie curse technique. May double as a CareerEndingInjury as he has not been seen since the Shibuya Incident.]]
