Given Junpei's arc revolves around becoming aware of jujutsu society and curses, that he meets the bare minimum qualification for a sorcerer by being able to see curses, and he later is given his own Cursed Technique, it seems like he should at least fit into Jujutsu Society Affiliates.

A
His Cursed Technique, "Moon Dregs", conjures a jellyfish-like [[{{Familiar}} Shikigami]] that can poison anyone it ensnares with its tentacles.
* AdvertisedExtra: From the first opening, it looked as though he would be a major character and join Jujutsu Tech along with Yuuji, Megumi, and Nobara. [[spoiler:But then Mahito transfigures him at the end of his arc.]]
* BullyMagnet: Junpei has been subjected to horrifically cruel bullying at his school, with at least one teacher aware of it but willingly turning a blind eye. Junpei's been savagely beaten multiple times, kicked out of his clubroom, had his property stolen, been force-fed a cockroach, and [[spoiler:his main tormentor has been torturing him by burning his forehead with cigarettes, the scars of which Junpei hides beneath his bangs]].
* CommonalityConnection: He quickly bonds with Yuji over their shared love for movies, especially American films. Junpei was in the film club, and Yuji had just marathoned countless classic films in his jujutsu training.
* TheCorruptible: He's a young man who's been subjected to vicious bullying that his teachers are aware of but do nothing to stop. After Mahito murders three of his bullies, he takes Junpei under his wing, telling him that human lives are meaningless, desensitizing him to killing by showing him humans he's transfigured, and giving him permission to kill as well. When Yuji befriends Junpei and begins pulling him back from his misanthropy, [[spoiler:Mahito has Junpei's mother killed and frames one of Junpei's bullies knowing Junpei will try to kill said bully in revenge.]]
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:He gets turned into a monster by Mahito, with his soul giving out and dying immediately after.]]
* DespairEventHorizon: Junpei goes on a vengeful rampage after his mother is [[spoiler:killed by a cursed spirit attracted to one of Sukuna's fingers, which was intentionally left in his home by Mahito]]. Yuji manages to comfort Junpei by not judging him and telling him to come to Jujutsu High. Sadly, [[spoiler:Mahito aggressively transfigures and kills him.]]
* DistinctionWithoutADifference: When we're introduced to him, he states that if he was offered a button that would kill everyone he hates, he wouldn't press it. He follows this up however by claiming that if he was offered a button that would kill everyone who hates him, i.e. the guys currently kicking the crap out of him for no other reason than that he's an easy target, he would press it.
* ExplainExplainOhCrap: When Mahito arrives at the school, Yuji is about to attack him. Junpei immediately jumps to his defense before recalling the humans Mahito transfigured.
-->'''Yuji''': Junpei! Run!! I don't know how you know this guy, but just run away! Please!
-->'''Junpei''': Don't worry, Itadori! Mahito isn't a bad per- '''[[OhCrap a bad... ...person.]]'''
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. While Junpei isn't deliberately malicious, he's anti-social and possesses some deep-seated anger over his lot in life; negative emotions that Mahito encourages. Still, he genuinely loves his mother. [[spoiler: It's her death that finally puts him over the edge.]]
* ForcedTransformation: [[spoiler:Mahito uses his Idle Transfiguration on him to turn him into a monster to attack Yuji. The transformation is so extreme that it actually ends up killing Junpei only a few minutes later.]]
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler:Yuji manages to get through to him briefly after their fight, telling Junpei that he can join him at Jujutsu High. And then Mahito arrives.]]
* HellbentForLeather: Played for drama. [[spoiler:After his mother's death, he takes a black jacket from her closet before going off to punish who he thinks was responsible for her death.]]
* HidingBehindYourBangs: Has these to signify his withdrawn, closeted personality. [[spoiler:They also hide the burnt-cigarette marks from his bullying.]]
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: He views Mahito as a helpful aid in developing his misanthropy, [[spoiler:however, the latter saw him as nothing than a play thing the entire time and ends up killing him for amusement. This is right on top of killing his mother and goading the boy into this mindset in the first place for shits and giggles. Mahito even managed to convince him that his bullies were the ones that somehow got ahold of a Sukuna finger and planted it in his home to kill his mother, despite Mahito being literally the only person aware of the existence of Cursed Objects he knows of[[note]]Junpei wasn't aware Yuji was a sorcerer until he confronted Junpei at his school during his [[WhosLaughingNow revenge against his classmates]][[/note]]. Mahito even mocks him for this before killing him, cruelly remarking that Junpei was just as stupid as the people he derided as idiots for being too trusting of someone who didn't try to hide his nefarious nature.]]
* IronicName: The "yoshi" in his surname means "good luck" in Japanese. Anyone who knows anything about Junpei knows that he's been anything but lucky.
* MaddenIntoMisanthropy: Thanks to constantly being abused by his peers, Junpei appears to be inching down this route until he is pushed into full-blown misanthropy with Mahito's help and the [[spoiler:death of his mother.]]
* MisanthropeSupreme: Starts out with a very poor view of people due to bullying, and is pulled away from this briefly by Yuji, but fully goes down this route after [[spoiler:Mahito has his mother killed]], now fully willing to kill others as he sees fit.
* MoralMyopia: Discussed with Mahito. When Mahito shows off some of the transfigured humans he's been experimenting with, Junpei admits he doesn't really feel anything. However, if Mahito had targeted someone he loved like his mom, he'd truly hate him.
* MoralityChain: His mother, the only shining person in his life keeping Junpei from slipping into full on misanthropy. [[spoiler:After her murder, nothing can stop Junpei's hatred from unleashing.]]
* NoSocialSkills: This is Junpei's FatalFlaw, and one that is thoroughly exploited by [[spoiler:Mahito]].
* PerpetualFrowner: Given what he's been through, and his mood, Junpei is rarely ever seen without a sad frown on his face, which makes the very few smiles that Yuji draws out of him [[WhenHeSmiles all the more outre]].
* PoisonousPerson: His shikigami's tendrils emit poison created by cursed energy.
* ThePowerOfLegacy: [[spoiler: It's {{Implied}} that his death, which was covered up as him being forced to move away, prompted his school to come down hard on bullying, with questionnaires asking students about their respective experiences with it being handed out and one of the teachers, who was rather ignorant of Junpei's circumstances, confronting one of his former bullies and saying that he'll be keeping a close eye on him.]]
* SacrificialLamb: [[spoiler:He's introduced in the ''Vs. Mahito'' arc and through his friendship with Yuji is built up as a potential main member of the cast. Then he's murdered by Mahito, both to establish Mahito and Yuji's rivalry, as well as to show to Yuji that he won't always be able to save everyone or even ensure they die "properly". Aside from that, he has little impact on the overall plot.]]
* ShrinkingViolet: When we first meet him, he's very shy, reclusive and moody.
* SuperEmpowering: The reason some humans are capable of using cursed energy and some aren't is because of a physical difference in their brains which allows sorcerers to tap into the energy. Mahito's Idle Transfiguration allows him to "flick" this switch in Junpei's brain without harming him, giving him access to Cursed Energy and capable of using his Innate Technique, a poisonous jellyfish {{Familiar}}.
* SummonMagic: Mahito awakens Junpei's latent affinity for cursed energy, allowing him to call upon a jellyfish-like shikigami summon known as "Moon Dregs".
* TookALevelInBadass: Mahito awakens his latent affinity for cursed energy, gaining abilities such as [[MindOverMatter telekinesis]] and [[SummonMagic summoning a shikigami called "Moon Dregs"]].
* TragicMonster: [[spoiler:He's forcibly transfigured into a monster by Mahito and ordered to attack Yuji. He's left with just enough intelligence to beg Yuji for help, but has no other control over his body as he tries to kill his friend. The transformation ends up being so extreme that Junpei ends up dying from it much sooner than Mahito expected.]]
* UnabashedBMovieFan: He's a member of his school's film club but the genre he enjoys most is schlocky horror movies like the ''Human-Earthworm'' films. Yuji sharing his taste in movies is one of the things they bond over.
* UnskilledButStrong: In the short time that he has his abilities, he was able to fend off Yuji with "Moon Dregs". However, he understandably didn't know any other techniques besides just throwing its tendrils, and sadly never got to learn further [[spoiler:due to his death by Mahito shortly after.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler:As a SacrificialLamb, his death is an integral part of his character, and it's pretty hard to discuss him without whiting-out a good portion of his entry.]]
* WhosLaughingNow: He was consistently bullied throughout his high school years. His encounters with Mahito allow his potential for cursed energy to come out, using his newly-acquired abilities to torture his classmates.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: It's hard not to see why he's bordering on becoming a MisanthropeSupreme considering that he's constantly bullied, assaulted, and disrespected by those around him, with the only good people he knows being his [[GoodParents mother]], [[BitchInSheepsClothing Mahito]] ([[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter or so he thinks]]), and [[NiceGuy Itadori]]. [[spoiler: His mother apparently getting brutally killed by said bullies is just icing on the cake, and what drives him to villainy in the end.]]
* YouKilledMyMother: [[spoiler:The impetus of his FaceHeelTurn is him believing one his bullies killed his mother by luring a cursed spirit to her with one of Sukuna's fingers.]]

* AdvertisedExtra: From the first opening, it looked as though he would be a major character and join Jujutsu Tech along with Yuuji, Megumi, and Nobara. [[spoiler:But then Mahito transfigures him at the end of his arc.]]
* BullyMagnet: Junpei has been subjected to horrifically cruel bullying at his school, with at least one teacher aware of it but willingly turning a blind eye. Junpei's been savagely beaten multiple times, kicked out of his clubroom, had his property stolen, been force-fed a cockroach, and [[spoiler:his main tormentor has been torturing him by burning his forehead with cigarettes, the scars of which Junpei hides beneath his bangs]].
* CommonalityConnection: He quickly bonds with Yuji over their shared love for movies, especially American films. Junpei was in the film club, and Yuji had just marathoned countless classic films in his jujutsu training.
* TheCorruptible: He's a young man who's been subjected to vicious bullying that his teachers are aware of but do nothing to stop. After Mahito murders three of his bullies, he takes Junpei under his wing, telling him that human lives are meaningless, desensitizing him to killing by showing him humans he's transfigured, and giving him permission to kill as well. When Yuji befriends Junpei and begins pulling him back from his misanthropy, [[spoiler:Mahito has Junpei's mother killed and frames one of Junpei's bullies knowing Junpei will try to kill said bully in revenge.]]
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:He gets turned into a monster by Mahito, with his soul giving out and dying immediately after.]]
* DespairEventHorizon: Junpei goes on a vengeful rampage after his mother is [[spoiler:killed by a cursed spirit attracted to one of Sukuna's fingers, which was intentionally left in his home by Mahito]]. Yuji manages to comfort Junpei by not judging him and telling him to come to Jujutsu High. Sadly, [[spoiler:Mahito aggressively transfigures and kills him.]]
* DistinctionWithoutADifference: When we're introduced to him, he states that if he was offered a button that would kill everyone he hates, he wouldn't press it. He follows this up however by claiming that if he was offered a button that would kill everyone who hates him, i.e. the guys currently kicking the crap out of him for no other reason than that he's an easy target, he would press it.
* ExplainExplainOhCrap: When Mahito arrives at the school, Yuji is about to attack him. Junpei immediately jumps to his defense before recalling the humans Mahito transfigured.
-->'''Yuji''': Junpei! Run!! I don't know how you know this guy, but just run away! Please!
-->'''Junpei''': Don't worry, Itadori! Mahito isn't a bad per- '''[[OhCrap a bad... ...person.]]'''
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. While Junpei isn't deliberately malicious, he's anti-social and possesses some deep-seated anger over his lot in life; negative emotions that Mahito encourages. Still, he genuinely loves his mother. [[spoiler: It's her death that finally puts him over the edge.]]
* ForcedTransformation: [[spoiler:Mahito uses his Idle Transfiguration on him to turn him into a monster to attack Yuji. The transformation is so extreme that it actually ends up killing Junpei only a few minutes later.]]
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler:Yuji manages to get through to him briefly after their fight, telling Junpei that he can join him at Jujutsu High. And then Mahito arrives.]]
* HellbentForLeather: Played for drama. [[spoiler:After his mother's death, he takes a black jacket from her closet before going off to punish who he thinks was responsible for her death.]]
* HidingBehindYourBangs: Has these to signify his withdrawn, closeted personality. [[spoiler:They also hide the burnt-cigarette marks from his bullying.]]
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: He views Mahito as a helpful aid in developing his misanthropy, [[spoiler:however, the latter saw him as nothing than a play thing the entire time and ends up killing him for amusement. This is right on top of killing his mother and goading the boy into this mindset in the first place for shits and giggles. Mahito even managed to convince him that his bullies were the ones that somehow got ahold of a Sukuna finger and planted it in his home to kill his mother, despite Mahito being literally the only person aware of the existence of Cursed Objects he knows of[[note]]Junpei wasn't aware Yuji was a sorcerer until he confronted Junpei at his school during his [[WhosLaughingNow revenge against his classmates]][[/note]]. Mahito even mocks him for this before killing him, cruelly remarking that Junpei was just as stupid as the people he derided as idiots for being too trusting of someone who didn't try to hide his nefarious nature.]]
* IronicName: The "yoshi" in his surname means "good luck" in Japanese. Anyone who knows anything about Junpei knows that he's been anything but lucky.
* MaddenIntoMisanthropy: Thanks to constantly being abused by his peers, Junpei appears to be inching down this route until he is pushed into full-blown misanthropy with Mahito's help and the [[spoiler:death of his mother.]]
* MisanthropeSupreme: Starts out with a very poor view of people due to bullying, and is pulled away from this briefly by Yuji, but fully goes down this route after [[spoiler:Mahito has his mother killed]], now fully willing to kill others as he sees fit.
* MoralMyopia: Discussed with Mahito. When Mahito shows off some of the transfigured humans he's been experimenting with, Junpei admits he doesn't really feel anything. However, if Mahito had targeted someone he loved like his mom, he'd truly hate him.
* MoralityChain: His mother, the only shining person in his life keeping Junpei from slipping into full on misanthropy. [[spoiler:After her murder, nothing can stop Junpei's hatred from unleashing.]]
* NoSocialSkills: This is Junpei's FatalFlaw, and one that is thoroughly exploited by [[spoiler:Mahito]].
* PerpetualFrowner: Given what he's been through, and his mood, Junpei is rarely ever seen without a sad frown on his face, which makes the very few smiles that Yuji draws out of him [[WhenHeSmiles all the more outre]].
* PoisonousPerson: His shikigami's tendrils emit poison created by cursed energy.
* ThePowerOfLegacy: [[spoiler: It's {{Implied}} that his death, which was covered up as him being forced to move away, prompted his school to come down hard on bullying, with questionnaires asking students about their respective experiences with it being handed out and one of the teachers, who was rather ignorant of Junpei's circumstances, confronting one of his former bullies and saying that he'll be keeping a close eye on him.]]
* SacrificialLamb: [[spoiler:He's introduced in the ''Vs. Mahito'' arc and through his friendship with Yuji is built up as a potential main member of the cast. Then he's murdered by Mahito, both to establish Mahito and Yuji's rivalry, as well as to show to Yuji that he won't always be able to save everyone or even ensure they die "properly". Aside from that, he has little impact on the overall plot.]]
* ShrinkingViolet: When we first meet him, he's very shy, reclusive and moody.
* SuperEmpowering: The reason some humans are capable of using cursed energy and some aren't is because of a physical difference in their brains which allows sorcerers to tap into the energy. Mahito's Idle Transfiguration allows him to "flick" this switch in Junpei's brain without harming him, giving him access to Cursed Energy and capable of using his Innate Technique, a poisonous jellyfish {{Familiar}}.
* SummonMagic: Mahito awakens Junpei's latent affinity for cursed energy, allowing him to call upon a jellyfish-like shikigami summon known as "Moon Dregs".
* TookALevelInBadass: Mahito awakens his latent affinity for cursed energy, gaining abilities such as [[MindOverMatter telekinesis]] and [[SummonMagic summoning a shikigami called "Moon Dregs"]].
* TragicMonster: [[spoiler:He's forcibly transfigured into a monster by Mahito and ordered to attack Yuji. He's left with just enough intelligence to beg Yuji for help, but has no other control over his body as he tries to kill his friend. The transformation ends up being so extreme that Junpei ends up dying from it much sooner than Mahito expected.]]
* UnabashedBMovieFan: He's a member of his school's film club but the genre he enjoys most is schlocky horror movies like the ''Human-Earthworm'' films. Yuji sharing his taste in movies is one of the things they bond over.
* UnskilledButStrong: In the short time that he has his abilities, he was able to fend off Yuji with "Moon Dregs". However, he understandably didn't know any other techniques besides just throwing its tendrils, and sadly never got to learn further [[spoiler:due to his death by Mahito shortly after.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler:As a SacrificialLamb, his death is an integral part of his character, and it's pretty hard to discuss him without whiting-out a good portion of his entry.]]
* WhosLaughingNow: He was consistently bullied throughout his high school years. His encounters with Mahito allow his potential for cursed energy to come out, using his newly-acquired abilities to torture his classmates.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: It's hard not to see why he's bordering on becoming a MisanthropeSupreme considering that he's constantly bullied, assaulted, and disrespected by those around him, with the only good people he knows being his [[GoodParents mother]], [[BitchInSheepsClothing Mahito]] ([[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter or so he thinks]]), and [[NiceGuy Itadori]]. [[spoiler: His mother apparently getting brutally killed by said bullies is just icing on the cake, and what drives him to villainy in the end.]]
* YouKilledMyMother: [[spoiler:The impetus of his FaceHeelTurn is him believing one his bullies killed his mother by luring a cursed spirit to her with one of Sukuna's fingers.]]

He follows this up however by claiming that if he was offered a button that would kill everyone who hates him, i.e. the guys currently kicking the crap out of him for no other reason than that he's an easy target, he would press it.
* ExplainExplainOhCrap: When Mahito arrives
-->'''Yuji''': Junpei! Run!! I don't know how you know this guy, but just run away! Please!
-->'''Junpei''': Don't worry, Itadori! Mahito isn't a bad per- '''[[OhCrap a bad... ...person.]]'''
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. While Junpei isn't deliberately malicious, he's anti-social and possesses some deep-seated anger over his lot in life; negative emotions that Mahito encourages. Still, he genuinely loves his mother. [[spoiler: It's her death that finally puts him over the edge.]]
* ForcedTransformation: [[spoiler:Mahito uses his Idle Transfiguration on him to turn him into a monster to attack Yuji. The transformation is so extreme that it actually ends up killing Junpei only a few minutes later.]]
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler:Yuji manages to get through to him briefly after their fight, telling Junpei that he can join him at Jujutsu High. And then Mahito arrives.]]
* HellbentForLeather: Played for drama. [[spoiler:After his mother's death, he takes a black jacket from her closet before going off to punish who he thinks was responsible for her death.]]
* HidingBehindYourBangs: Has these to signify his withdrawn, closeted personality. [[spoiler:They also hide the burnt-cigarette marks from his bullying.]]
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: He
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Makes Junpei uncomfortable by waiting for him at his own doorstep, assuming he was friends with his bullies
* KarmicNod: [[spoiler:While Sotomura hasn't been punished yet for failing Junpei
* IronicName: The "yoshi" in his surname means "good luck" in Japanese. Anyone who knows anything about Junpei knows that he's been anything but lucky.
* MaddenIntoMisanthropy: Thanks to constantly being abused by his peers, Junpei appears to be inching down this route until he is pushed into full-blown misanthropy with Mahito's help and the [[spoiler:death of his mother.]]
* MisanthropeSupreme: Starts out with a very poor view of people due to bullying, and is pulled away from this briefly by Yuji, but fully goes down this route after [[spoiler:Mahito has his mother killed]], now fully willing to kill others as he sees fit.
* MoralMyopia: Discussed with Mahito. When Mahito shows off some of the transfigured humans he's been experimenting with, Junpei admits he doesn't really feel anything. However, if Mahito had targeted someone he loved like his mom, he'd truly hate him.
* MoralityChain: His mother, the only shining person in his life keeping Junpei from slipping into full on misanthropy. [[spoiler:After her murder, nothing can stop Junpei's hatred from unleashing.]]
* NoSocialSkills: This is Junpei's FatalFlaw, and one that is thoroughly exploited by [[spoiler:Mahito]].
* PerpetualFrowner: Given what he's been through, and his mood, Junpei is rarely ever seen without a sad frown on his face, which makes the very few smiles that Yuji draws out of him [[WhenHeSmiles all the more outre]].
* PoisonousPerson: His shikigami's tendrils emit poison created by cursed energy.
* ThePowerOfLegacy: [[spoiler: It's {{Implied}} that his death, which was covered up as him being forced to move away, prompted his school to come down hard on bullying, with questionnaires asking students about their respective experiences with it being handed out and one of the teachers, who was rather ignorant of Junpei's circumstances, confronting one of his former bullies and saying that he'll be keeping a close eye on him.]]
* SacrificialLamb: [[spoiler:He's introduced in the ''Vs. Mahito'' arc and through his friendship with Yuji is built up
* ShrinkingViolet: When we first meet him, he's very shy, reclusive and moody.
* SuperEmpowering: The reason some humans are capable of using cursed energy and some aren't is because of a physical difference in their brains which allows sorcerers to tap into the energy. Mahito's Idle Transfiguration allows him to "flick" this switch in Junpei's brain without harming him, giving him access to Cursed Energy and capable of using his Innate Technique, a poisonous jellyfish {{Familiar}}.
* SummonMagic: Mahito awakens Junpei's latent affinity for cursed energy, allowing him to call upon a jellyfish-like shikigami summon known as "Moon Dregs".
* TookALevelInBadass: Mahito awakens his latent affinity for cursed energy, gaining abilities such as [[MindOverMatter telekinesis]] and [[SummonMagic summoning a shikigami called "Moon Dregs"]].
* TragicMonster: [[spoiler:He's forcibly transfigured into a monster by Mahito and ordered to attack Yuji. He's left with just enough intelligence to beg Yuji for help, but has no other control over his body as he tries to kill his friend. The transformation ends up being so extreme that Junpei ends up dying from it much sooner than Mahito expected.]]
* UnabashedBMovieFan: He's a member of his school's film club but the genre he enjoys most is schlocky horror movies like the ''Human-Earthworm'' films. Yuji sharing his taste in movies is one of the things they bond over.
* UnskilledButStrong: In the short time that he has his abilities, he was able to fend off Yuji with "Moon Dregs". However, he understandably didn't know any other techniques besides just throwing its tendrils, and sadly never got to learn further [[spoiler:due to his death by Mahito shortly after.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler:As a SacrificialLamb, his death is an integral part of his character, and it's pretty hard to discuss him without whiting-out a good portion of his entry.]]
* WhosLaughingNow: He was consistently bullied throughout his high school years. His encounters with Mahito allow his potential for cursed energy to come out, using his newly-acquired abilities to torture his classmates.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: It's hard not to see why he's bordering on becoming a MisanthropeSupreme considering that he's constantly bullied, assaulted, and disrespected by those around him, with the only good people he knows being his [[GoodParents mother]], [[BitchInSheepsClothing Mahito]] ([[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter or so he thinks]]), and [[NiceGuy Itadori]]. [[spoiler: His mother apparently getting brutally killed by said bullies is just icing on the cake, and what drives him to villainy in the end.]]
* YouKilledMyMother: [[spoiler:The impetus of his FaceHeelTurn is him believing one his bullies killed his mother by luring a cursed spirit to her with one of Sukuna's fingers.

* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:The ''Shinjuku Showdown'' arc reveals they were all killed, but who murdered them isn't specified. In Chapter 191, Kenjaku told Noritoshi Kamo that he's essentially controlling HQ after usurping the Head of the Kamo Clan, but with his endgame approaching he may have killed them once they were no longer useful. But their deaths are only revealed in Chapter 223, after Gojo is freed from Prison Realm, with a SmashCut to their bodies directly after Gojo and Gakuganji were talking about them in relation to Masamichi's death, offering the possibility that Gojo may have finally done what he's always threatened to do and just killed them all out of revenge for all their crimes after he was unsealed.]]
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:In Chapter 223, it's revealed all were killed offscreen. Given that their every appearance paints them as smug obstructionists trying to cling to power under the veneer of tradition, and who actively make things harder for the heroes following the Shibuya Incident, it's impossible to pity them.]]
* EvilReactionary: The conservative faction holds the most sway in Jujutsu HQ. Not only do they forgo any progressive policies in lieu of regulating jujutsu based on tradition, but they look down on any jujutsu sorcery they consider unconventional, like Hakari's pachinko machine-inspired Idle Death Gamble. To maintain their ideal of traditional jujutsu, they'll order teenagers executed for the dangers they pose as vessels, frame [[spoiler:their political enemy as a scapegoat for Shibuya]], and execute innocent sorcerers like [[spoiler:Masamichi Yaga]] unless they provide them with information that can make them more powerful.
* KilledOffscreen: [[spoiler:The only time they're shown onscreen from behind the doors that concealed them is after they've all been killed.]]
* MinorMajorCharacter: The group as a whole has supreme authority over all jujutsu sorcerers, but they only appear sporadically, are never established as individual characters just a monolithic group, and none of them are even seen onscreen or named.
* NotSoOmniscientCouncilOfBickering: Despite holding their meetings in ominous darkened rooms where their appearances are hidden by illuminated doors, the group is more a batch of slimy politicians that spend much of their screen time arguing with and being undermined by Gojo.
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Ostensibly Jujutsu HQ is working to protect jujutsu society and non-sorcerers, but in practice they're only interested in preserving their own power and keeping jujutsu as "traditional" as possible. [[spoiler:Best exemplified in the aftermath of the Shibuya Incident, where they take advantage of their biggest political obstacle, Satoru Gojo, being sealed in Prison Realm to frame him as complicit in Shibuya and forbid any sorcerer from freeing him. At the same time they threaten Masamichi Yaga with death unless he divulges his secret to creating cursed corpses so they can build themselves an army, and have him executed when he doesn't comply.]]

* WouldHurtAChild: They attempt to execute the fifteen-year-old Yuta and Yuji upon finding out they're hosts to two very dangerous Special Grade Cursed Spirits. They only postpone their respective executions after Gojo convinces them they can be useful, but in the case of Yuji they go around Gojo's back to send Yuji's class on a suicide mission to eliminate Sukuna as a threat, not caring if Yuji's two innocent classmates are killed as collateral damage.
