| 20 | |
| 21 | A first-year at Kyoto, and the younger brother of Tokyo assistant manager Akari Nitta. \ |
| 22 | |
| 23 | His Cursed Technique has not yet been clarified, but seems to function as a sort of supernatural first aid, allowing him to stop bleeding and any existing wounds from getting worse through a MagicalGesture and touch, and seems to use the "Showing One's Hand" type of Binding Vow to provide reassurance to his technique's "patient". |
| 24 | ---- |
| 25 | * BattleButler: Though he isn't actually a butler, for some reason he dresses as one, complete with tailcoat, vest and gloves, and he accompanies Todo into Shibuya even though his healing powers make him more suited to a support role than an active combatant. |
| 26 | * ConspicuousGloves: He's always seen wearing a pair of white gloves. |
| 27 | * EarlyBirdCameo: He is first seen in Chapter 81 while Mechamaru is thinking of the other Kyoto students during [[spoiler:the fight with Mahito]], 45 chapters before Arata's proper debut in Chapter 126. The anime adapts this scene ''much'' earlier than in the manga, with Arata first appearing alongside the other Kyoto students in Episode 16 after Mechamaru's fight with Panda. |
| 28 | * HealingHands: A variation; his cursed technique doesn't technically heal wounds, but he can prevent them from getting any worse by stopping blood loss and reducing physical pain. |
| 29 | * LiteralMinded: He takes Todo referring to Yuji as his brother literally, thinking to himself that he was sure Todo is an only child. After meeting Yuji, Arata notes that they don't have any family resemblance. |
| 30 | * MatureYoungerSibling: Arata shows great levels of calmness in stressful battles, whereas his sister is disorganized and irresponsible. |
| 31 | * TheMedic: He serves this purpose during the Shibuya arc, healing grievously wounded characters in the background while major battles are taking place. |

| 37 | !!Mai Zen'in |
| 38 | !!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MarinaInoue (Japanese), Creator/LauraPost (English) |
| 39 | !!!'''Age''': 16 |
| 40 | !!!'''Cursed Technique:''' [[ThePowerOfCreation Construction]] |
| 41 | [[quoteright:240:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mai_zenin.png]] |
| 42 | |
| 43 | ->''"My neck gets so sore looking up at others all the time. So I need you, dear sister, to look down on."'' |
| 44 | |
| 45 | A second-year at Kyoto, and the sister of Maki Zen'in. \ |
| 46 | |
| 47 | Her Cursed Technique, "Construction", lets her create anything she wants, though she's only really limited to one bullet per day. |
| 48 | ---- |
| 49 | * AbandonmentInducedAnimosity: The real reason Mai feels so much resentment 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. |
| 50 | * AdaptationalDyeJob: Like her sister, her hair changes from black to green in the anime, albeit in a much darker shade in comparison to Maki. |
| 51 | * AlphaBitch: Passive-aggressive, condescending, and insensitive, it's mostly a mask though. This especially applies toward Maki, who she has her reasons for treating this way, and Nobara, [[SitcomArchnemesis who she doesn’t.]] |
| 52 | * 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. |
| 53 | * AmbiguouslyBi: A volume extra states "For some reason, whenever Mai interacts with another female character, you might wonder if they're dating." She gets rather close to Nobara in their first meeting and was impressed by Megumi's answer to what type of person he likes. When Todo gives her tickets to see Takada, she's clearly smitten by her after their meeting. |
| 54 | * AwesomeButImpractical: Mai's technique, on paper, lets her create ''anything she wants''. The catch is that her technique requires the large amounts of energy necessary to build matter -- her limit doesn't let her go any farther than making something as small and simple as a bullet. |
| 55 | * BitchAlert: The minute she's introduced, with her long black dress, her falsely seductive stance, her sly and contemptuous glare and her honeyed voice, it's quite clear that, out of the Zen'in twins, she's the bitchy one. Indeed, as soon as she starts talking, she wastes no time in spewing passive-aggressive bile at Megumi and Nobara about Yuji's apparent death. |
| 56 | * BoringButPractical: Due to the severe drain of her technique, Mai is often limited to making a single bullet for her handgun. This is ideal for a bluff, however, as her enemies will run with the assumption that she naturally can only fire six bullets before reloading and won't expect a seventh. |
| 57 | * BoyishShortHair: She has fairly short hair. |
| 58 | * ColdSniper: She's an abrasive, cold young woman who fights using a revolver that she can imbue with cursed energy. She can also use a longer sniper rifle as seen during the Shibuya Incident. |
| 59 | * EmpathicWeapon: [[spoiler:After sacrificing her life to form a sword for Maki to wield it's implied that part of her "lives on" in some form within the weapon. Both Maki and Daido Hagane actively talk to the blade at times, and within Maki's MentalWorld Mai references Hagane briefly wielding the sword as having "let [him] squeeze [her]" to provide Maki an example of her potential.]] |
| 60 | * FightsLikeANormal: Mai's actual cursed technique is ''extremely'' limited in what and how often she can use it, so she mostly just uses a revolver and bolt-action rifle. |
| 61 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Already heavily injured by her father, she overworks her Cursed Technique, leaving behind a weapon that Maki -- empowered by her death -- can use to save herself.]] |
| 62 | * IdenticalTwinIDTag: Maki and Mai are identical twins, but you're unlikely to mix them up because their hairstyles and clothes are completely different. In the anime, Mai's hair is much darker than Maki's, and they have completely different voice actors. |
| 63 | * ImaginationBasedSuperpower: Mai's technique lets her create anything she needs, provided she has the energy for it. |
| 64 | * ImprobableAimingSkills: During the first round of the Goodwill Event, Mai uses her handgun to get a headshot on Kugisaki with a rubber bullet from quite a far distance, through the cover of a forest. |
| 65 | * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: She's openly scornful and loves looking down on people, but it's very clear to see that it's a mask to hide her resentment for Maki's strength and lack of fear. She also resents being more or less forced into being a Jujutsu Sorceress while showing limited talent for it, while Maki did the same, but of her own free will, and is a natural at the job. |
| 66 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: By her own admission she didn't want to be a Jujutsu Sorceress. She'd have been content to be a servant of the head of House Zen'in with Maki as was intended by the clan heads for the two seemingly weak sisters and otherwise live normal lives. But when Maki left with the intention to prove her worth greater than what the clan saw in her, it put pressure on Mai to do the same, not helped by their uncle promising to make Mai's life difficult as retaliation for Maki's defiance. Mai feels abandoned by her sister, and forced to strive to be a Jujutsu Sorceress despite her technique being rather on the weak side. |
| 67 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She openly loathes and insults others (especially Maki) due to her past, but she's nice -- even openly caring -- to Miwa and Momo. |
| 68 | * LastRequest: [[spoiler:The Zen'in Clan has abused her and Maki for their entire lives. When her father wounds the both of them and leaves them to die, Mai sacrifices herself to save her sister, only asking Maki for one thing in return: [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge "Destroy everything."]] Maki obliges and completely wipes out the Zen'in Clan.]] |
| 69 | * LogicalWeakness: Mai's technique involves using cursed energy to create actual matter, rather than shaping it into different forms or manipulating existing matter. As a result, the energy consumption is immense, meaning despite the seeming flexibility of this power, she is often limited to making something no bigger or more complex than a bullet at most. |
| 70 | * MageMarksman: She fights with a revolver and rifle and her cursed technique lets he create extra ammunition already in the chamber. |
| 71 | * PolarOppositeTwins: To Maki. While Maki is gruff and hot-tempered, she's still very much a nice, caring person who wishes to see her friends get stronger. Mai, on the other hand, is insensitive and bitchy, looking down on people (particularly Maki) for being weaker than her out of sheer spite. |
| 72 | * PowerLimiter: A complicated case. [[spoiler: As identical twins, she and Maki share the same pool of cursed energy between them, meant for one person, meaning that so long as both of them are alive, both of them are weaker. When Mai dies, Maki instantly becomes significantly more powerful as a result. How strong Mai would've become in the opposite direction is unclear.]] |
| 73 | * PseudoRomanticFriendship: According to her character sheet, Mai's interactions with other female characters tend to give off the impression that they are dating, [[AmbiguouslyGay for some reason]]. A specific example would be her friendship with Momo, who is very close to her and gets very defensive whenever anyone badmouths Mai. They are seen during the Goodwill Event having an oddly tender conversation over the phone as they coordinate their plan. |
| 74 | * RiddleForTheAges: The identity of Mai's first love, as she called them. It's considered her deepest secret alongside her Cursed Technique both of which she's never shared with her sister Maki. [[spoiler: Given Mai's death, it's unlikely we'll ever learn who she was talking about or how they met.]] |
| 75 | * TheRival: To Maki, bordering on ArchEnemy because Mai has grown to genuinely ''hate'' her for leaving the clan. Their fight during the Goodwill Event is ironically the most bitter conflict of them all, and that's including the battle with a Special Grade Cursed Spirit who shows up. [[spoiler: In the end, Mai abandons her hate and entrusts her sister with her life once she makes the decision to die for Maki to become stronger and destroy the Zen'in clan.]] |
| 76 | * SmugSnake: The first thing she says about Maki is that she's a weakling; when Maki closes the distance between them during the Goodwill Event, Mai is completely trounced, having grossly underestimated her sister. |
| 77 | * ThemeTwinNaming: '''Ma'''i is the twin sister to '''Ma'''ki. |
| 78 | * {{Troll}}: She loves to screw with Nobara a lot, as Mai seems to revel at provoking her whenever the opportunity arises. |
| 79 | * WeakButSkilled: She's a relatively good shot and knows her Cursed Technique well enough, but she's severely lacking on the physical side, easily getting knocked down by opponents when she doesn't have her revolver to back her up. |
| 80 | * WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: In theory, her Cursed Technique should be able to let her create anything she wants. In practice -- due to the immense energy it needs -- she's stuck with a bullet at best. |

| 89 | |
| 90 | ->''"Hey, there. Miwa the Useless here! Even though I call myself that, I don't think I'm actually that bad."'' |
| 91 | |
| 92 | A second-year at Kyoto Jujutsu High, and a sorcerer with a kind disposition. \ |
| 93 | |
| 94 | She is a practitioner of the New Shadow Style, a swordsmanship style designed to enhance swordsmanship through the use of the [[AlwaysAccurateAttack Simple Domain]] technique. |
| 95 | ---- |
| 96 | * ButtMonkey: During the Kyoto Goodwill Event, she gets curb-stomped and has her sword stolen by Maki [[spoiler: (who later breaks it against Hanami's skin)]], is left alone to sulk in the middle of the woods, and gets put to sleep by Inumaki over the phone. |
| 97 | * {{Counterspell}}: One of the first sorcerers we see using the Simple Domain technique, which creates an AreaOfEffect that nullifies others' abilities. |
| 98 | * CripplingOverspecialisation: She is entirely dependent on her sword for Cursed attacks, and if someone steals it away for some reason, she's, as in her own words, "[[SelfDeprecation useless]]". [[spoiler:When she accidentally makes a Binding Vow in an attempt to strike Kenjaku down, it results in her never being able to wield a katana again, apparently permanently benching her from combat.]] |
| 99 | * EveryoneHasStandards: When Principal Gakuganji orders his students to assassinate Yuji, she's the only one who doesn't want to kill him out of moral reasons, even if she does succumb to pressure and goes along with her schoolmates' attempt on his life. |
| 100 | * {{Fangirl}}: Is one to Gojo, so much so that she practically jumps at the chance of being able to get a picture with him. |
| 101 | * IaijutsuPractitioner: Her "Batto Sword Drawing" move is an Iaijutsu technique that uses Cursed Energy to pull the blade out of the hilt at superhuman speeds. |
| 102 | * MeaningfulName: According to the author notes, she loves trendy things which is why her name is "Miwa", a Japanese homonym for a word that means "someone who follows trends". |
| 103 | * NegatedMomentOfAwesome: She attempts a deadly sneak attack on Geto, recalling how in spite her mother's attempts to prevent her from standing out, she pursued a life as a sorcerer to protect and care for her family. Despite resolving to put everything into her blade, even if it means she never swings a katana again, Geto breaks it with zero effort before retaliating with Maximum Uzumaki, leading to her needing to be rescued from the premises. [[spoiler:It's later revealed she accidentally created a Binding Vow at that moment, so Miwa really never ''can'' wield a katana again.]] |
| 104 | * NiceGirl: Rarely shows malicious intent -- even though Kyoto was ordered to kill Yuji, she expresses regret at fact that he's being hunted, and participates in the Goodwill Event to make money for her two brothers. A ''Juju Stroll'' lampshades this by Gojo forgetting her name and describing her as nice and that single trait is enough for Utahime to rule out every single other girl at both schools except for Miwa. |
| 105 | * OnlyInItForTheMoney: Her motivation to becoming promoted to an independent jujutsu sorcerer is to make money as soon as possible, since she comes from a poor family and wants to be able to financially support her two younger brothers. |
| 106 | * OnlySaneMan: Among the various bizarre personalities of her classmates, Miwa is the only Kyoto student who acts like a typical teenager, reacting with horror and disbelief that her classmates were willing to go along with Principal Gakuganji's plan to assassinate Yuji and has fairly ground reasons for wanting to become a jujutsu sorcerer, financially supporting her impoverished family. |
| 107 | * SelfDeprecation: Tends to call herself "Miwa the Useless", and is shown to be one of the less confident characters in the series. Not helped by the fact that she ends up facing [[TheAce Maki]] of all people. Played for drama in Shibuya where [[spoiler:she asks Kokichi if the reason why he arranged for her to be away from Shibuya was because he thought she was too weak and useless to be of help, with Kokichi assuring her that he was the weak one for letting this happen in the first place, and she was the person he wanted most to protect.]] |
| 108 | * 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.]] |
| 109 | * TheWorfEffect: Miwa is a second-year from Kyoto, one of the users of the potent Simple Domain technique, and wields a powerful sword and sword-drawing technique. Unfortunately, in her first real fight, she is placed against the significantly more skilled Maki, who easily gets one in on her. |

| 122 | %% Kokichi's healthy self is first seen in an Imagine Spot, and is also featured on a volume cover art. |
| 123 | |
| 124 | ->''"If I could exchange this body for a healthy one, I'd do it in a heartbeat, even if it meant leaving the jujutsu world behind."'' |
| 125 | |
| 126 | A second-year at Kyoto Jujutsu High. Kokichi was born under a Heavenly Restriction, rendering his body extremely frail and sickly in exchange for an absolutely enormous reserve of cursed energy. \ |
| 127 | |
| 128 | Kokichi primarily uses this reserve to fuel his Innate Technique, "Puppet Manipulation", which enables him to project his mind into puppets of his own design (each referred to as Mechamaru) at a nationwide range. Day-to-day living and sorcerer missions are undertaken by an assortment of dolls he uses for combat and communication, each referred to as Mechamaru. |
| 129 | ---- |
| 130 | * AllForNothing: [[spoiler:Kokichi wanted an ideal healthy body so he could finally be with [[LoveInterest Miwa]] and his friends in person, and sold information to Geto in exchange for Mahito giving him such a body. As soon as Kokichi was healed, he attempted to kill them to undo the damage he caused or at the very least to escape and warn everyone about Geto's plans for Shibuya. Instead, he ends up killed by Mahito during their fight. The only thing he manages to achieve is successfully arranging for his friends to be away from Shibuya on the night of the incident, all except for Todo and Nitta who he believed had a 99% chance of not dying. Even his post-mortem contingency to provide information to the heroes if Gojo ended up being sealed isn't enough to help them get Gojo back.]] |
| 131 | * BandageMummy: His true body is covered head-to-toe in bandages. In his character page, the author [[ShoutOut directly compares]] his appearance to that of [[Manga/RurouniKenshin Makoto Shishio]]. |
| 132 | * BlessedWithSuck: His Heavenly Restriction is the inverse of Maki's, wherein he's given immense levels of Cursed Energy and the ability to use it across all of Japan, in exchange for being MadeOfPlasticine, being so physically frail that he can barely move even while on constant life support and his skin getting sunburn from ''moonlight''. His desire to be rid of this curse [[spoiler:drives him to become Geto's mole on Jujutsu High]]. |
| 133 | * BuryYourDisabled: [[spoiler:Played with; Kokichi dies shortly after ''curing'' himself of his debilitating physical condition, and doing so ''leads'' to his death.]] |
| 134 | * CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Courtesy of Mahito.]] |
| 135 | * {{Counterspell}}: [[spoiler:He can use the Simple Domain technique. Unlike traditional defensive usage where one has to stand still just to use it, he somehow stored it into containers. He uses these containers offensively against Mahito, which is one of the only ways to actually bypass Mahito's Cursed Technique and actually hurt him.]] |
| 136 | * DeadPersonConversation: [[spoiler:He gets this for most of the Shibuya Arc after Gojo getting sealed activates his miniature Mechamaru devices after his death. He's able to give advice and information to Yuji and get the sorcerers kicked into high gear. His last act before the last of his curse energy is expended is to maneuver Miwa to safety, and apologize to her, wishing her happiness.]] |
| 137 | * ADeathInTheLimelight: The most he gets in his first appearance during the Goodwill Event is a fight and a short conversation with Panda. [[spoiler:Then he gets an entire mini arc to himself, dedicated to his character and the resulting showdown with Mahito. Which he loses.]] |
| 138 | * DefeatMeansFriendship: After Panda defeats him, he tells Kokichi that he's never been jealous of humans even though his status as a cursed corpse means he has nothing in common with them. Hearing Panda say he's only ever admired the traits humans have that he doesn't, as well as offer to help Kokichi in spite of everything, causes Kokichi to drop his hatred of the cursed corpse. Downplayed as he does still call him a "damn puppet", but it lacks his earlier venom. |
| 139 | * 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'' immediately 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.]]]] |
| 140 | * FindingJudas: [[spoiler:Kokichi fed Geto info on how to invade the Goodwill Event, 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.]] |
| 141 | * GadgeteerGenius: Appears to be extremely proficient in developing tools and gadgets. The Mechamaru models are designed with numerous different attachments and forms to channel his cursed energy for combat, and have functions that allow him to communicate and act no matter where he is. [[spoiler:Against Mahito he reveals Ultimate Mechamaru -- Mode: Absolute, which is a HumongousMecha he had been working on for the purpose of channeling the cursed energy stored from his body. In addition, he made capsules capable of "storing" techniques]]. [[spoiler:Even after his death he has pod-like devices programmed and scattered around Shibuya that allow him to communicate in limited capacity to his allies.]] |
| 142 | * GreenEyedMonster: He carries a grudge towards Panda, angered by the fact that a Cursed Corpse (a puppet as he calls him) is free to move around while he's trapped by his Heavenly Restriction. Panda calls him out for it, but still remains amicable towards him. |
| 143 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: Kokichi admits that he'd do anything if he could simply have a normal body and walk among his friends. [[spoiler:Hence why he acted as an informant to Geto's group.]] |
| 144 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:Having arranged a way to communicate with his classmates in the event of his death, Kokichi is able to have a final conversation with Miwa during the Shibuya Incident. He confesses his feelings for her and tells her his last request is for her to be happy, because so long as she is, his own wish will have come true.]] |
| 145 | * InsecureLoveInterest: Even though Miwa clearly returns his feelings for her, Kokichi doubts he can truly be with her while in he's stuck in his sickly body. [[spoiler:This makes it all the more tragic when Miwa tells him through a Mechamaru puppet that she wants to visit him in person so they can grow closer, unaware that the real Kokichi has already been killed.]] |
| 146 | * InstantAwesomeJustAddMecha: Despite the series otherwise having modern technology, and most sorcerers not even using that, Kokichi's {{Magitek}} includes fully-functioning robots he can control. Most Mechamaru are {{Remote Bod|y}}ies only slightly larger than a human, while [[spoiler:Kokichi's Ultimate Mechamaru -- Mode: Absolute is an outright EVA-style humanoid HumongousMecha that he actually pilots]]. |
| 147 | * ImpliedLoveInterest: It's heavily implied he has a crush on Miwa, with him specifically focusing on her in his thoughts [[spoiler:during his fight with Mahito. He ultimately admits his love for her [[DeadPersonConversation post-mortem]], apologizing to her for what he did and wishing her nothing but happiness.]] |
| 148 | * JustAMachine: Ironically he thinks this way of Panda. Generally cursed corpses are inanimate objects possessed by curses and are capable of independent movement but no true sapience. Panda is a special case created by Masamichi and is able to talk and feel just like a human. In spite of this, when Kokichi thinks he's killed Panda during their fight at the Goodwill Event, he immediately dismisses the idea that a cursed corpse like Panda was ever truly alive, seeing his life as nothing compared to that of a human. |
| 149 | * MarionetteMaster: His Cursed Technique gives him the ability to remotely control puppets, the most common of which is Mechamaru, a human-sized puppet that looks like a robot. His Heavenly Pact boosts his Cursed Technique to the point he can remotely control his puppets all over Japan. |
| 150 | * TheMole: [[spoiler:Utahime discovers he's indirectly responsible for the Goodwill Event incident, apparently having been secretly feeding information to Geto and the Disaster Curses in exchange for Mahito fixing up his body. He had fully intended on betraying them once he'd been healed thinking he could stop them himself, only to sadly find he couldn't and get killed.]] |
| 151 | * 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 altogether. 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.]] |
| 152 | * NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:While he is definitely killed by Mahito during their battle, Kokichi is able to continue interacting with the living through use of small Mechamaru pods that he powers with his residual cursed energy, though he is limited to the number of pods and his remaining cursed energy. The last pod shuts down after aiding Miwa and apologizing to her for what he did.]] |
| 153 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: In a strange variant, characters tend to refer to Kokichi as "Mechamaru", which really isn't even ''his'' nickname, but the name of the machines he operates through. |
| 154 | * PowerCopying: [[spoiler:In his fight against Mahito, Kokichi reveals that the tubes he attacks with are actually containers for the Simple Domain technique, which prevents Mahito from holding up his soul and guarantees his vulnerability to Kokichi's attacks.]] |
| 155 | * RegretfulTraitor: [[spoiler:Kokichi's been begrudgingly providing information to Geto, but only because Mahito has the power to give him the healthy body he's always wanted. The second his classmates are endangered by Hanami during the Goodwill Event despite his binding vow with Mahito, he forces Mahito to honor the deal ahead of schedule. Kokichi planned to undo the damage he caused by killing Mahito and stopping the Shibuya Incident before it started, but ended up killed by Mahito.]] |
| 156 | * RemoteBody: The different robotic dolls known as "Mechamaru" work like this for Muta. Through Mechamaru he can interact with his classmates and go out on missions just as anyone else would, though his senses are limited. There are a number of comedic moments where characters act if as Mechamaru is an actual sapient robot (such as Miwa offering him batteries as ''food'') [[RuleOfFunny when they would logically know better]]. |
| 157 | * TheResenter: The reason he feels such immense animosity towards Panda at first is because he resents the fact that a cursed corpse can walk around freely while a human like him is forced to live in isolation due to his Heavenly Pact. His envy's enough to make him actually try to kill Panda during their fight in the Goodwill Event. Kokichi drops his grudge when Panda has a heart-to-heart with him afterwards. |
| 158 | * SamuraiPonytail: He wears his hair in this style. |
| 159 | * SuperpowerDisability: Poor Kokichi's body is in an awful state, sensitive to everything and unable to sustain itself to the point where he has to stay hooked up to a life support machine. His defects are actually the result of a magical contract unfairly imposed upon him at birth, and as a trade-off he has unthinkable amounts of cursed energy and the ability to control dolls using it, making him powerfully proficient at using these puppets for combat. |
| 160 | * TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler: Tries this with his last remaining Simple Domain when Mahito breaches the armor of his Ultimate Mechamaru, resolving to stab it directly into him at the cost of his life.]] [[spoiler: He fails.]] |
| 161 | * TragicDream: His dream is to one day stand at the side of his friends, despite suffering from a debilitating illness that confines him to a dark room hooked up to a machine. [[spoiler:His determination to achieve such an impossible dream eventually drives him to work with the villains as TheMole, since Mahito has the ability to heal his body.]] |
| 162 | * WaveMotionGun: His most powerful attacks are huge lasers. |

| 173 | |
| 174 | ->''"What kind of woman's your type? If I don't like your answer, I might beat you half to death right here."'' |
| 175 | |
| 176 | A third-year at Kyoto Jujutsu High, and a hulking {{Cloudcuckoolander}} with a thirst for a good challenge. \ |
| 177 | |
| 178 | His Cursed Technique, "Boogie Woogie", allows him to switch the positions of any two objects, usually people, imbued with Cursed Energy by clapping his hands. He's also incredibly skilled in hand-to-hand combat, able to give even someone on Yuji's level a run for his money. |
| 179 | ---- |
| 180 | * TheAce: Of the Kyoto students. Gojo outright notes him and Yuta as the two biggest stars of the current generation, and [[spoiler:Mechamaru notes that he'd give Todo a 99% chance of surviving the Shibuya Incident had he not pulled strings to keep the Kyoto students off the front lines. It is telling when even '''''[[TheDreaded Sukuna]]''''' is [[HorrifyingTheHorror wary]] about dealing with him due to knowing exactly [[SimpleYetAwesome how effective he is with Boogie Woogie]] and having no recourse to actually deal with him effectively.]] |
| 181 | * AmputationStopsSpread: [[spoiler:Todo slices off his own left hand to prevent Mahito's Idle Transfiguration from affecting him.]] |
| 182 | * AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:He loses his left hand during his fight against Mahito in Shibuya, as he had to cut it off to prevent Idle Transfiguration from completely affecting him.]] |
| 183 | * ArcHero: Yuji's main partner and mentor during the Goodwill Event Arc, with both of them fighting against Hanami. |
| 184 | * ArtificialLimbsAreStronger: [[spoiler:After losing his left arm in his battle against Mahito, Todo has his hand replaced with a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibraslap vibraslap]] in order to keep using his Cursed Technique. The disadvantages of having a single hand aside, his prosthetic is shown to be ''far'' superior in regard to using Boogie Woogie, allowing Todo to make 50 switches per second.]] |
| 185 | * AttackAttackAttack: While he is a capable strategist and is able to plan further ahead of time, most of his strategies rely on fighting his opponent head on with relentless combinations. |
| 186 | * BareFistedMonk: Fights solely with his bare hands. |
| 187 | * BashBrothers: He and Yuji make a great combo and the two work together almost effortlessly when pitted against Hanami, a Special Grade Curse. Though, Yuji is mostly in the zone at that point and is a little creeped out by Todo's about-face in going from cold and intimidating to irritatingly friendly. |
| 188 | * TheBerserker: Todo is moreso a very aggressive fighter that mainly focuses on rushing into battle and pummeling his opponents into oblivion. This becomes even clearer whenever he's angry as he'll go against all orders just to go wild on his own terms. |
| 189 | * 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. |
| 190 | * TheBigGuy: To the Kyoto team, though he’s not much of a team player...with them at least. |
| 191 | * BloodFromTheMouth: Even with concentrating Cursed Energy in his stomach, Todo still [[spoiler:bleeds profusely from his mouth when Mahito punches him with a Black Flash.]] |
| 192 | * BloodKnight: Todo literally lives and breathes fighting, to where he abandons the plan to murder Yuji just to fight him alone. He even threatened his other classmates if they interfered with his battle or got in his way. He also trains the young sorcerer in order for their match to become much more glorious. |
| 193 | * BoringButPractical: Boogie Woogie is pretty simple on paper and one of the least flashy Techniques in the series, but being able to swap places with his allies and even opponents makes Todo extremely useful in team fights. Even when Todo's opponents are aware of how his Technique works, they still can't adapt perfectly because he's just that good at timing the switches, and the effect is disorienting to the opponent, even when aware of what's coming. |
| 194 | * 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 women 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. |
| 195 | * TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:Chapter 259 of the Shinjuku Showdown Arc sees him returning to the story to assist Yuji in fighting Sukuna.]] |
| 196 | * CareerEndingInjury: [[spoiler:Losing his left hand prevents him from using Boogie Woogie, effectively benching him from future battles. As such, he sits back and doesn't enter any of the colonies during the Culling Game. Subverted in the Shinjuku Showdown arc, where he joins the fight against Sukuna with a vibraslap attached to his stump so he can use Boogie Woogie again.]] |
| 197 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Todo is just... '''weird,''' to put it bluntly. Compared to the other characters in the series, including the ''panda'', one gets the idea that Todo is not all there. When meeting people he tends to ask what type of woman they like, and if he finds their answer boring he'll attack them in response. He strikes a bizarre "brotherly" friendship with Yuji, formed entirely from Yuji's preference in girls, and even creates false memories of his early years growing up with Yuji. |
| 198 | * CommonalityConnection: Forms a friendship with Yuji over their shared type of girls -- tall girls with big butts. |
| 199 | * 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. [[spoiler:Even ''[[WorldsStrongestMan Sukuna]]'' finds him terrifyingly unpredictable, and even when he ''thinks'' he's got Todo's number the madman finds a new way to surprise him.]] |
| 200 | * CoolBigBro: He becomes this to Yuji upon learning that their preferences in women are the same. Immediately after, he starts teaching Yuji new techniques and a more efficient way to fight. He even goes as far as to call Yuji his "brother". |
| 201 | * {{Counterspell}}: Happens to know how to perform a Simple Domain, learned from his mentor Yuki Tsukumo. [[spoiler:He tries to use this to counter Mahito's Domain Expansion, but unfortunately, he wasn't fast enough.]] |
| 202 | * CulturedBadass: Recites a quote from ''The Tale of the Heike'' when [[spoiler:he arrives to save Yuji from Mahito.]] |
| 203 | * 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. Subverted, as by the time of the FinalBattle he's regained it and having replaced his amputated left hand with a musical device called a Vibraslap.]] |
| 204 | * {{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 enough time to charge up his Cursed Energy and land another Black Flash]]. |
| 205 | * DidNotThinkThisThrough: He recommended Yuji be promoted to Grade 1 Sorcerer because he believed it was his destiny 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. |
| 206 | * DisabilitySuperpower: [[spoiler:After losing his hand to Mahito, Todo returns to the final battle with Sukuna armed with an instrument called the Vibraslap. Thanks to a self-imposed Binding Vow limiting the number of swaps per strike on the slap in exchange for increasing the Technique's range and number of targets, Todo can perform up to 50 swaps in a second, effectively making Boogie Woogie stronger than before.]] |
| 207 | * DisproportionateRetribution: When he finds Megumi's answer about his type of woman "boring", he immediately moves to kill him. He also threatens his classmates with death if they threaten to interfere with Todo getting a [[BloodKnight decent fight]], or, more importantly, if they prevent him from watching his favorite idol, Takada-"chan". |
| 208 | * TheDreaded: The Tokyo team brands him as a monster and believe that he could take them all out by himself. Their strategy for the Goodwill Festival is based on Yuji distracting him per Megumi’s recommendation of his physical strength. But they still tell him that he doesn’t have to win. [[spoiler:Even '''''[[BigBad Sukuna]]''''' sees him at this too, as his awareness of Boogie Woogie thanks to his time with Yuji gives him the unique perspective to know just how hard it is to keep track of his SwitchOutMove—especially with the powerup it's received, making it exponentially faster, due to the Vibraslap he had placed to accommodate his missing hand giving him a hell of a DisabilitySuperpower—with Sukuna admitting Todo showing up is arguably the worst possible outcome for him in the final bout.]] |
| 209 | * ExactWords: To activate "Boogie Woogie", Todo must clap 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 Mahito to the same effect.]] |
| 210 | * ExplainingYourPowerToTheEnemy: Todo is a rare aversion of this. While most sorcerers explain their Cursed Techniques because sharing how it works may bolster its effectiveness and give them an advantage in a fight, Todo purposefully avoids explaining his technique or omits crucial information about it because the confusion and paranoia it sows in his enemy gives him an even greater advantage. |
| 211 | * {{Expy}}: In an interview with Fuji TV, Akutami stated that Todo is based on [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Kenpachi Zaraki]]. |
| 212 | * {{Fanboy}}: To the "180 cm. idol" Takada-''chan''. |
| 213 | * 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 its place to deliver an [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia All Might]]-style Black Flash. |
| 214 | * FightsLikeANormal: For the most part, Todo relies on his prodigious strength and martial arts skills to win fights, only strategically using his SwitchOutMove power to create openings. |
| 215 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: ''Nobody'' likes him. Only Yuji is willing to be around him and even then his first reaction when he shows up to have a "brotherly" moment with him after the Goodwill games is to run away terrified despite initially forming a more friendly bond when fighting Hanami. Tellingly, when Maki hits him in the face with a baseball (''On purpose''), almost everyone's immediate response is to compliment her. Yuji is the only one to actually be worried about his wellbeing, but even he takes note that everyone else apparently hates him. |
| 216 | * GeniusBruiser: He hits hard and fast, but he's also an incredibly intelligent fighter, analyzing his opponent’s moves at a near-instantaneous speed to exploit their weak points -- or in Yuji's case, understand how to work past them to improve. In one scene where he's analyzing all of Hanami's moves up until now, he says he has [[BlatantLies a self-proclaimed]] [[ImprobablyHighIQ 530,000 IQ]]. |
| 217 | * 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 Todo is a skilled Jujutsu sorcerer, an expert strategist in combat and a surprisingly philosophical and effective mentor to Yuji. |
| 218 | * GenreRefugee: He [[YoungerThanTheyLook looks]] and [[BunnyEarsLawyer acts]] like he stepped out of one of the earlier Parts of ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure'', the influence is even present in his Innate Technique, which has a [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower few]] [[MusicalThemeNaming things]] in common with a Stand. |
| 219 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: Has one over a good deal of his face, making him appear menacing at first. But once he warms up to Yuji, its meaning changes to a rugged, dependable look. |
| 220 | * HasAType: Not only is he very vocal about it (a tall girl with a big butt), he also judges everyone he meets by what kind of girl they're into. Yuji sharing his preferences moves him so deeply he hallucinates an entire friendship between them (see FakeMemories above). |
| 221 | * HeartIsAnAwesomePower: On paper, the ability to swap places with other things by clapping your hands sounds ridiculous. Todo, however, demonstrates that this can be a deadly power in the hands of a creative mind. |
| 222 | * HeroicBuild: He's a very tall warrior who boasts one of the most muscular physiques in the series and a Jujutsu sorcerer in training. |
| 223 | * 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 who shows up to snap his 'brother' out of it and restore his resolve.]] |
| 224 | * HopelessSuitor: Hilariously enough he makes himself this in his own FakeMemories, having him confess his love to Takada only for her to rip up his confession and tell him she’s in love with someone else, leaving his “best friend” Yuji to comfort him by treating him to some ramen. |
| 225 | * HotBlooded: Loud, passionate and unabashedly willing to punch anybody that is in his way. |
| 226 | * IAmNotLeftHanded: Going by his word, during the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons he only used his technique against a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, and ''not'' the five 1st Grades and six other spirits he also killed. |
| 227 | * IRejectYourReality: He ends up inventing a completely fictitious backstory for himself depicting him and Itadori as best friends in middle school where Itadori helped him try to confess to Takada-chan, being there for Todo when he got rejected and taking him out for ramen with a brotherly pat on the back while he was depressed afterwards, [[NoodleIncident and supposedly winning the Baseball middle school nationals together entirely off-screen according to the Baseball Game introduction bars, which Itadori denies]]. This made him and Itadori become [[LoveAtFirstSight Brothers At First Sight]]. He later hallucinates an idol he likes reminding him of a crucial detail of Hanami's Cursed Technique while he's about to tank one of its attacks in Itadori's place. |
| 228 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: [[spoiler: When he reappears in the fight against Sukuna, he's equipped himself with a cursed [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibraslap vibraslap]] that replaces his missing hand. It also changes the effect of his technique, allowing him to use an extremely fast TeleportSpam as long as the instrument keeps rattling.]] |
| 229 | * ImprobablyHighIQ: While analyzing all of Hanami's moves when he gets ready to use his Technique, he claims his [[BlatantLies "530000 mental IQ processing unit"]] can only provide one conclusion: Victory. Despite the gag, he ''is'' genuinely a lot smarter than he looks or acts. |
| 230 | * IncomingHam: The anime gives him an epic leitmotif to herald his arrival on the scene which is either suitable to the situation or just making something as mundane as a game of ping pong awesome. [[BigDamnHeroes Gege describes him as a character who's designed to make the reader feel like things are gonna be alright as soon as he turns up on-panel.]] |
| 231 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's often cold and condescending to those he doesn't recognize as equals. But he's incredibly encouraging, supportive, and helpful to those he truly respects, giving Mai tickets to see Takada and happily mentoring Yuji even while they're in a contest against one another. |
| 232 | * LargeHam: Todo chews the scenery with abandon when he’s excited or happy, even to the point of crying TearsOfJoy when he finds common ground with someone over women. |
| 233 | * LightningBruiser: Todo is fast enough to move from being in front of Megumi to his back before he has a chance to react and beat him and Itadori absolutely senseless in short order, with the latter thinking he had lost an arm blocking Todo's initial punch. He is also tough enough [[spoiler:to keep going after having to sever his own hand right before Mahito gut-checks him with a Black Flash.]] |
| 234 | * LogicalWeakness: "Boogie Woogie" only works if he can clap his hand. [[spoiler:Losing one of them during his fight with Mahito would seemingly then "kill" the technique, but he then reveals he doesn't need to clap just ''[[ExactWords his]]'' hands, allowing him to still use the technique by clapping his hand with Mahito's. But he does need a second hand to clap, when he claps the stump of his arm, nothing happens, though that did serve as a distraction to fake Mahito out.]] |
| 235 | * LoonyFan: A fairly benign example as he doesn't direct his lunacy towards Takada, the idol he's a fan of and treats her with nothing but respect whenever he's at one of her fan meet-and-greets, but rather his craziness is reserved towards anyone who might interfere with him attending one of said events or watching her on TV. He's not above threatening his own classmates with death for this. Todo's also delusional enough to imagine Takada giving him advice in life-or-death situations, like during his fight with Hanami, or [[MagicIdolSinger even battling alongside him]] during his [[spoiler:fight with Mahito]]. |
| 236 | * MadeOfIron: He’s able to tank several punches from [[SuperStrength Yuji]] with no obvious damage. |
| 237 | * MageBornOfMuggles: Comes from a non-sorcerer family. |
| 238 | * MeaningfulName: His Cursed Technique is named after a type of blues music strongly associated with dancing, and its primary benefit is its ability to make his and his opponent's movements [[ConfusionFu harder to follow]]. |
| 239 | * MusclesAreMeaningful: Todo is ripped to kingdom come and is strong enough to lay the smackdown even on a Special Grade Curse and match Yuji's superhuman strength blow for blow. |
| 240 | * PetTheDog: |
| 241 | ** Contrary to what you would expect from [[TestosteronePoisoning the rest of his personality]], he takes a moment to specify that he has no problem if Megumi's into men when he demands to be told his type. The important part is to able to answer with conviction, not what the type ''actually'' is. |
| 242 | ** 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 Nanami and Nobara 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.]] |
| 243 | * PutOnABus: [[spoiler: He hasn't been seen or mentioned since the end of the Shibuya Incident. It isn't hard to see why he's sitting the Culling Games out given that he lost a hand and essentially, [[DePower his Cursed Technique]] and therefore much of his combat effectiveness. Subverted as of chapter 259, see TheBusCameBack above.]] |
| 244 | * RealMenWearPink: His favourite pastime is following an IdolSinger. [[RealMenCook He is also able to explain how Yuji's use of Cursed Energy is improving in an elaborate culinary metaphor]]. |
| 245 | * SimpleYetAwesome: "Boogie Woogie" simply switches out the position of two items, but with his insane combat skill; his Cursed Technique becomes scarily effective in combat. Even with a warning of what Todo could do from Hanami, Mahito describes the effect of Boogie Woogie as incredibly disorienting. [[spoiler:It is telling that it is one of the few abilities that Sukuna has absolutely ''[[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu no recourse for]]'' except to just endure the abuse and wait for an opening when he fights against Todo and Yuji together.]] |
| 246 | * SinkOrSwimMentor: He serves as this to Yuji during the Goodwill Event Arc. Even after proclaiming him his best friend, Todo says he will not hold back in his fight against Yuji and encourages him to move past his Divergent Fist, and instead have his cursed energy land in time with his superhuman physical blows rather than have it lag behind. Similarly, Todo refuses to step in and help Yuji against the Nature Spirit Hanami until Yuji can land a Black Flash on the Special Grade Cursed Spirit. |
| 247 | * SmarterThanYouLook: Despite [[HotBlooded everything]] [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} his personality]] [[TheBrute suggests]], he not only has a good understanding of fighting technique and tactics but is capable of expressing an eloquent description of how cursed energy works to Yuji. According to the official fan book, his rating at academics is a ten out of ten. |
| 248 | * SmellsSexy: In addition to maintaining his looks, Todo has a very noticeable, pleasant scent, which girls in school like but are infuriated by since it's attached to him. |
| 249 | * StrongAndSkilled: In addition to his prodigious strength, Todo is crafty, perceptive and well-trained in hand-to-hand combat. His creative usage of his Cursed Technique and mastery of Black Flash allows him and Yuji to have [[spoiler:Hanami on the ropes until Gojo shows up.]] |
| 250 | * SuperStrength: He has enough brute force to face Yuji in combat and starts out his fight with him by punching clean through a Cursed Spirit and briefly knocking Yuji backwards. He also effortlessly smashes through Hanami's oversized roots while also tossing him around like he was nothing. |
| 251 | * SuperpowerLottery: On paper, Boogie Woogie is the most simplistic Cursed Technique in the series, letting Todo swap places with anything imbued with Cursed Energy by clapping his hands. Its power, however, lies in its sheer versatility as Todo can not only choose when to activate his technique, but also which objects to switch with, making it incredibly unpredictable. Also, Todo doesn't have to clap his own hands to use the technique [[spoiler:as shown when he high-fives an unaware Mahito, letting him and Yuji switch places. Upon replacing his severed hand with an instrument called the Vibraslap, Boogie Woogie becomes even more powerful thanks to a Binding Vow limiting the number of swaps per strike in exchange for expanding the technique's range and number of targets, allowing Todo to perform up to 50 swaps in a second and he can even choose how many times to switch per strike, effectively granting him an extremely fast TeleportSpam. Even Sukuna is forced to admit that attempting to predict or anticipate Boogie Woogie is practically a fool's errand.]] |
| 252 | * SwapTeleportation: The exact mechanics of Boogie Woogie are as follows: Todo claps his hands, and causes two nearby objects or creatures with Cursed Energy (including himself) to instantaneously switch places. While very simple on paper, what makes Todo [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower almost unbeatable]] is the sheer ingenuity with which he executes the technique. Is he switching with you? An ally? [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs Is he switching you with his ally]]? Is there a Cursed Tool or {{familiar}} nearby you need to keep an eye on? Is he just clapping his hands without activating the technique? [[ConfusionFu You won't know until he's already decided what to do]]; fighting Todo is a guessing game, and pretty much every antagonist that faces him in battle [[spoiler:up to and including ''Sukuna'']] learns very quickly to take this power seriously. |
| 253 | * SwitchOutMove: Todo's most preferred use of Boogie Woogie is switching positions with a teammate mid-fight to throw his opponents off. |
| 254 | * TeleportSpam: [[spoiler:Thanks to the Vibraslap prosthetic Todo's using as a replacement hand and making a Binding Vow, Boogie Woogie's has been upgraded to this. Todo can now perform a maximum of 50 swaps in a second with increased range and increased number of targets, essentially sending his opponents spinning on a roulette wheel where they have no control over where they end up or who will be attacking them. The best Sukuna can do is anticipate when Yuji is ready for an attack to anticipate a [[SwitchOutMove swap]], but even then, Todo is crafty enough to perform fake-outs using Mei Mei's blackbirds.]] |
| 255 | * WalkingShirtlessScene: This is his default appearance, only wearing a shirt during casual scenes. |
| 256 | * WildCard: A team player Todo is not. When Gakuganji orders the Kyoto team to kill Yuji he immediately leaves to attend a celebrity meet-and-greet event featuring his idol Takada and threatens to kill anyone who orders him around. By the time the event starts, he’s already made a beeline for the Tokyo team leaving his own group behind. |
| 257 | * WrestlerInAllOfUs: He initiates his fight with Megumi with a lariat, then gets him with a German suplex. |
| 258 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: He's 18 years old, despite his bulk and voice. Gojo even questions how old he is. |

| 267 | |
| 268 | A Kyoto Jujutsu High third-year with a no-nonsense personality and a sense of obligation to his clan. \ |
| 269 | |
| 270 | His Cursed Technique, Blood Manipulation, lets him manipulate blood and its properties, from shape, temperature and velocity to blood cell count and selectively strengthening muscles. |
| 271 | ---- |
| 272 | * AloofArcher: Noritoshi wields a bow and arrow, and is very calm and stoic. |
| 273 | * ArmorPiercingAttack: Downplayed. His attacks are able to cut into [[SuperToughness Hanami's skin]], but they don't come close to lethal hits and the Curse Spirit regenerates from them anyway. |
| 274 | * AwesomeButImpractical: The Blood Manipulation Cursed Technique is to the Kamo clan what [[SpaceMaster Limitless]] and [[TheBeastmaster Ten Shadow Technique]] are to the Gojo and Zenin clans. But while it has [[MasterOfAll practically limitless uses and is very powerful]], of the three it has the most obvious weakness of the user running out of blood, rendering any large scale techniques as a pseudo SuicideAttack. |
| 275 | * BaritoneOfStrength: Has a deep voice thanks to Creator/SatoshiHino and is one of the most deadly students of the Kyoto school. |
| 276 | * BloodFromTheMouth: ''Weaponized''. [[spoiler: When he's caught and grappled by cursed spirit Naoya, Noritoshi [[SpitefulSpit spits his blood directly into one of Naoya's orifices]]. Said blood being poison to curses, it harms and distracts Naoya enough for Noritoshi to escape.]] |
| 277 | * BloodMagic: Noritoshi has the ability to control his blood and whatever inanimate object it touches. To circumvent hurting himself to use this ability, he tends to keep several packets of blood on his person. |
| 278 | * BloodyMurder: Noritoshi's cursed technique allows him to manipulate his blood, so he shoots his blood as his main form of attack, either straight from his hands or splashed onto arrowhead tips. |
| 279 | * CharacterDevelopment: Noritoshi goes through a rather understated character arc over the course of the series. When he first appears at Goodwill Event, he openly has a strong sense of obligation towards the Kamo clan and Jujutsu Society as a whole, believing that he needs to become the Kamo clan's head in order to give his mother a place in the clan. While the other Kyoto students[[note]]Sans Todo[[/note]] only try to kill Yuji as per Principal Gakuganji's orders, Noritoshi does it of his own volition as he sees Yuji as a threat, thereby putting society's wellbeing above his own personal sympathies. After Shibuya, [[spoiler:Kenjaku (or rather "Noritoshi Kamo") resumes his place as the head of the Kamo clan, robbing Noritoshi of the role he had worked his entire life for. Now merely a bastard child without a clan, Noritoshi realizes that neither the Kamo clan nor Jujutsu Society ever actually needed him. Despite all his efforts to give his mother a place to go, Noritoshi comes to learn that she's living a happy life outside of Jujutsu society. With some encouragement from Maki, Noritoshi chooses to prioritize the happiness of himself and his loved ones and turns his back on the Jujutsu world altogether. When the others prepare to fight Sukuna, Noritoshi declines to fight alongside them despite [[HoldTheLine holding the line with his life on the scales]] against Cursed Spirit Naoya earlier, instead deciding to flee the country with his mother and make sure she and her family are safe. No one holds his decision against him.]] |
| 280 | * DangerousForbiddenTechnique: ''Everything'' about the Blood Manipulation technique is this by definition to human sorcerers [[HealingMagicIsTheHardest who generally aren't capable of healing or regeneration]]; the least harmful combat use being ''blood doping'' via Flowing Red Scale. Using your blood currently in your body for external attacks is even more dangerous; human users like Noritoshi prepare blood bags and blood-tipped arrows well in advance to avoid anemia. Noritoshi later learns to circulate his external blood in and out of his body to minimize blood loss, but even this is said to be extremely exhausting as well. |
| 281 | * EyesAlwaysShut: Noritoshi has this look, only opening his eyes into a ClintSquint when things get serious. |
| 282 | * FacialMarkings: With the ''Flowing Red Scale'' technique, he can manipulate his blood to increase his heart rate and improve his physical abilities, use of which is indicated by a crimson marking that manifests on his face to surround his right eye. |
| 283 | * {{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 insufficient, 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. |
| 284 | * HeroicBastard: He is the child of the Kamo family head with one of his mistresses. |
| 285 | * HomingProjectile: Arrows dipped in his blood have this effect, as his cursed technique allows him to manipulate the arrows' path to follow enemies. |
| 286 | * ImportantHaircut: He cuts his long hair and sports a new, spiky buzzcut hairstyle after [[spoiler:losing his spot as the Kamo clan's heir]]. [[LampshadeHanging An omake shows that he thinks the barber went overboard.]] |
| 287 | * MasterArcher: Noritoshi fights with a bow, dipping the arrows in his blood so he can manipulate their path after firing to achieve otherwise impossible shots. Even without BloodMagic he is still a very skilled archer, able to do things like fire off several arrows simultaneously with great accuracy. |
| 288 | * MommasBoy: Noritoshi's main goal as future head of the Kamo clan is to make a place where his mother, who was discarded as a simple mistress of the current leader, can belong. [[spoiler:Noritoshi eventually opts out of the final fight due to Kenjaku already usurping his place as Kamo clan leader and Noritoshi preferring to ensure his mother's safety.]] |
| 289 | * NotSoDifferentRemark: |
| 290 | ** PlayedForLaughs when he tries to invoke this with Megumi. Megumi is extremely quick to point out that they're not similar at all. |
| 291 | ** A conversation between him and Yuji plays this straight. Both of their parental figures told them to assist people so that they can be surrounded by friends. Yujii only mentions his goal of being surrounded by people when he dies, though Noritoshi's memory of his own mother telling him such seems to change his view of Itadori. |
| 292 | * NotWorthKilling: After [[spoiler:losing his position as clan heir]], Kenjaku says that he won't bother killing Noritoshi since there is nothing he could possibly do to impede his plans by that point. |
| 293 | * NothingPersonal: Similar to Yoshinobu, Noritoshi has no personal animosity towards Itadori. When he tries to kill Itadori during the School competition, he intended to do it out of duty. Later on during the baseball game, he was affable with Itadori. |
| 294 | * OneSteveLimit: {{Averted}}. He shares his name with a distant, reviled ancestor of the Kamo clan— albeit with different Kanji: modern-day Noritoshi's 憲紀 versus ancient Noritoshi's 憲倫. [[spoiler: This is [[LampshadedTrope lampshaded]] both times he meets [[BodySurf Kenjaku]], known for having used the ancient Noritoshi's body in the past.]] |
| 295 | * PoisonousPerson: PlayedWith. The blood of human Blood Manipulation users is revealed to be poisonous to cursed spirits... but ''not'' to other humans. This is the opposite of the half-curse hybrid Death Paintings', whose blood is poison to humans. |
| 296 | * PragmaticHero: He is one of the good guys, but he is absolutely willing to kill any foes that are remotely dangerous. It's telling that when Gakuganji tells the Kyoto students to kill Yuji, Noritoshi is the first one that wants to follow through with the order. He even admits to Megumi that the decision to kill Yuji was his own, implying that he would have done so even if Gakuganji hadn't ordered it. |
| 297 | * RequiredSecondaryPowers: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. He doesn't have access to unlimited amounts of blood, and opts to carry a bunch of blood bags instead. Later on in the Sakurajima Colony arc, Noritoshi develops another workaround: by circulating external blood in and out of his body, he can effectively recycle it and minimize blood loss when using blood-based attacks that aren't projectiles. |
| 298 | * TheStoic: Carries an emotionless expression at all times. |
| 299 | * 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 Techniques 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.]] |
| 300 | * WiseBeyondTheirYears: As the future head of the Kamo clan, Noritoshi has a deep understanding of the inter-clan politics within the jujutsu world and is aware of who among the higher-ups is trustworthy or not, [[spoiler:something that Kenjaku commends him for after taking away his position as clan heir.]] |

| 312 | Her Cursed Technique, Tool Manipulation, allows her to telekinetically manipulate a broomstick that she can also imbue with cursed energy. |
| 313 | ---- |
| 314 | * BeautyIsBest: Bitterly states that a female sorcerer's worth is only equal to how attractive she is, thinking that women in her field are unfairly judged mostly for their looks and not just their skills. |
| 315 | * BlowYouAway: She can blow huge gusts of wind with her broomstick by imbuing it with cursed energy. |
| 316 | * BrattyHalfPint: She's a tiny girl that carries a very sour and jaded point of view, and can become an abrasive {{Jerkass}} if her BerserkButton is pushed. |
| 317 | * ButNotTooForeign: She is half-American on her father's side. |
| 318 | * CelebrityCrush: In Episode 15's Juju Stroll, she's literally drooling over an image of Creator/SebastianStan on her phone. |
| 319 | * ChildLikeVoice: As is fitting for a TokenMiniMoe with GirlishPigtails, she's given a notably youthful, high-pitched voice in the anime, courtesy of Creator/TaraSands and Creator/RieKugimiya. |
| 320 | * CuteLittleFangs: While not shown in the manga, the anime adaptation gives her prominent canine teeth that serve to increase her cuteness. |
| 321 | * CuteWitch: Her design motif; she is a very small and cute girl in a black dress who flies around on her broomstick in a manner reminiscent of a witch. |
| 322 | * CutenessProximity: Her character notes state that she is obsessed with anything cute. |
| 323 | * FlyingBroomstick: Her primary ability, she telekinetically controls a broomstick that she imbues with cursed energy, allowing her to pilot it like a stereotypical witch. |
| 324 | * FragileSpeedster: Her broomstick can move at fast speeds that allow her to easily avoid attacks, but she is still a small girl with a weak body, [[spoiler:to the point that Nobara almost beats her unconscious with a ''toy hammer''.]] Her speed is PlayedForLaughs during the second-round baseball game, where Maki uses her SuperStrength to hit a homerun high into the air, only for Momo to immediately catch the ball after chasing it on her broom. |
| 325 | * ImpliedLoveInterest: To Mai. The two of them are very tender to each other and seem to have an intimate relationship the others aren't privy too. Momo particularly [[spoiler: is the first one to arrive to the ruined Zen'in compound and is devastated to learn of Mai's fate.]] |
| 326 | * GirlishPigtails: She keeps her hair in two large pigtails shaped like brooms. |
| 327 | * {{Hypocrite}}: She's outraged by Nobara's insults Mai, lecturing her about the sort of painful life her friend went through. Nobara in turn calls her out for her group trying to kill Yuji solely based on the fact that he's Sukuna's vessel without considering what kind of person he actually is. |
| 328 | * LetsGetDangerous: Nobara insulting her best friend Mai instantly changes her attitude from nervous to vindictive. |
| 329 | * MindOverMatter: Her cursed technique gives her the ability to telekinetically manipulate her broomstick, though its exact usage and limitations, such as whether she can manipulate other tools, have yet to be explained. |
| 330 | * OlderThanTheyLook: She looks like a young pubescent girl, yet she's listed to be a ''third year'' student. |
| 331 | * PhenotypeStereotype: Half-American and has blonde hair and blue eyes. |
| 332 | * RazorWind: Her ''Wind Scythe'' move is a slicing gust of wind created with her broomstick. |
| 333 | * SquishyWizard: She has a useful flight ability and possesses powerful wind control, but is completely helpless without her broomstick. |
| 334 | * TokenMiniMoe: Of the Kyoto Students, being the youngest looking (though actually one of the oldest). |
| 335 | * WholeCostumeReference: She wears a short-sleeved black dress similar to [[Anime/KikisDeliveryService Kiki]], who also flies on a broom stick . |
| 336 | * WorfHadTheFlu: While fighting against Nobara, Momo notes that she's been adjusting the strength of her attacks so that she wouldn't kill Nobara while also focusing her cursed energy to her ears in wariness of [[WordsCanBreakMyBones Inumaki]]. |

| 347 | |
| 348 | The principal of the Kyoto Prefectural Jujutsu High School. \ |
| 349 | |
| 350 | His apparent and unnamed technique imbues the sound of his guitar with cursed energy, creating powerful shockwaves. |
| 351 | ---- |
| 352 | * BigOlEyebrows: They're exceptionally long and bushy. |
| 353 | * CoolOldGuy: Appears to be an elderly man wearing a traditional robe... until he fights, revealing a Jimi Hendrix t-shirt underneath it and pulling out an electric guitar. |
| 354 | * EveryoneHasStandards: He has no problem ordering the assassination of a teenage boy for the threat he poses as Sukuna's vessel, but he's clearly wracked with guilt over [[spoiler:assassinating Masamichi just because the latter refused to tell their higher ups how to make cursed corpses like Panda. When Masamichi tells him the way to create them after Gakuganji mortally wounds him, Gakuganji keeps Masamichi's secret instead of telling the higher ups.]] |
| 355 | * EvilPrincipal: In order to have Yuji killed for the danger he poses as [[SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan Sukuna's vessel]], he assigns Yuji, as well as his classmates Megumi and Nobara, to a suicide mission that does end in Yuji's temporary death. When Sukuna revives Yuji, Gakuganji orders his students to assassinate him right-out and Gakuganji himself personally assassinates [[spoiler:Principal Masimichi]] because he refused to divulge knowledge desired by their higher ups. None of these crimes are done out of malice, but out of a desire to preserve the status quo of jujutsu society and eliminate possible threats by resorting to [[WellIntentionedExtremist extreme measures]]. |
| 356 | * {{Expy}}: Of [[Manga/HunterXHunter Isaac Netero]], an old man wearing traditional robes who discards them in combat to reveal tight modern clothing. Fittingly, Gege Akutami has often cited Togashi's work as his main inspiration. |
| 357 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: Who would've thought that this old man's weapon of choice would be a Gibson Flying V? |
| 358 | * JerkassHasAPoint: Gojo identifies him as one of the leaders of the traditionalist faction of Jujutsu society that he loathes. Nonetheless, Yoshinobu's decision that it's far too dangerous to let Itadori live as Sukuna's vessel isn't exactly unreasonable [[spoiler: as events following the Shibuya Incident demonstrate]]. He's also pragmatic enough to work with Gojo when facing a greater enemy, and his t-shirt and electric guitar demonstrate, he's not completely wedded to all things traditional. |
| 359 | * JustFollowingOrders: He kills [[spoiler:Principal Masamichi]] strictly because the higher ups of the jujutsu world ordered him. Both [[spoiler:Panda and Gojo]] know Gakuganji liked his victim and feels extreme guilt over what he did, which is why neither of them kill him in retribution, the former equating Gakuganji to "a fallen knife" instead of the person who wielded it. |
| 360 | * MusicalAssassin: He wields a Flying V and uses his body as an amplifier that emanates Cursed energy at his enemies. [[spoiler:He becomes a literal case of this trope after he is chosen as the executioner for Principal Yaga.]] |
| 361 | * NothingPersonal: When asked if he hates Itadori, he states his actions of wanting to have Itadori killed have nothing to do with liking or hating him. |
| 362 | * ThePowerOfRock: Fights using an electric guitar that he can amplify using cursed energy to create shockwaves. |
| 363 | * SavagePiercings: His face and ears are covered in piercings, somehow fitting in perfectly both with his traditionalist GrumpyOldMan look ''and'' the MusicalAssassin look, where they look like the apparel of a rockstar instead. |
| 364 | * ScratchyVoicedSenior: As is part and parcel for Mugihito, Gakuganji has a coarse, raspy voice. |
| 365 | * SecretKeeper: [[spoiler:He assassinates Masamichi because the latter refused to divulge how to create specialized cursed corpses like Panda to their higher ups. Masamichi only reveals the secret after Gakuganji mortally wounds him, saying it's a curse he's passing on to his killer. Gakuganji, out of remorse and respect for Masamichi, keeps the secret to himself instead of telling the higher ups. When Gojo's unsealed, he says Gakuganji keeping the secret is enough on its own to prove the principal is somewhat trustworthy.]] |
| 366 | * SoleSurvivor: After [[spoiler: Gojo is free from the Prison Realm and visits Jujutsu Society, where the higher ups are dead]], Gakuganji is the last member of the traditionalist faction still alive. |
| 367 | * TokenGoodTeammate: Of the Traditionalist faction of Jujutsu Society. He's the only member shown to be concerned with the safety of the world from Curses and Curse Users rather than his own interests. |
| 368 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Doesn't hesitate to order the Kyoto students to kill Yuji under the guise of a training exercise to prevent Sukuna's resurrection. [[spoiler:This unfortunately becomes a case of TheExtremistWasRight following the Shibuya Incident arc, as Sukuna took control of Yuji's body and slaughtered countless civilians during his destruction of downtown Shibuya.]] |
| 369 | * WizardBeard: A Jujutsu sorcerer with a very long goatee. |
| 370 | * WreckedWeapon: [[spoiler: His guitar is seen being completely busted up after his fight with Yaga, to the point where he discards it for his bare hands when he thinks Panda is gonna try to get {{Revenge}}.]] |

| 380 | |
| 381 | A Semi-Grade 1 sorcerer and one of the faculty at Kyoto Jujutsu High. |
| 382 | ---- |
| 383 | * BlemishedBeauty: She has a prominent scar across her face, but it does nothing to detract from her looks. |
| 384 | * ButtMonkey: Frequently picked on by Gojo for being weak. This is best highlighted when Gojo speaks with her in private about the possibility of a mole within the schools, saying he has absolute trust in her because she is far too much of a weakling to be working with the villains. |
| 385 | * CoolTeacher: According to the fan book, the Kyoto students all adore her. |
| 386 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: Sweets, probably owing to Gojo's SweetTooth. |
| 387 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: She is introduced [[TeamMom calming down the competitive tension between the Tokyo and Kyoto students]], then she asks where "that idiot" is, with ''everybody'' knowing she means [[{{Troll}} Satoru Gojo]]. |
| 388 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: Played with; while Iori is a kind and heroic character, she has a very large scar across her face that would look more suitable on a villain. |
| 389 | * HiddenDepths: She enjoys watching sports (football, baseball, etc.) and is great at singing. |
| 390 | * JerkassToOne: While Iori is usually very polite and demure, the very notion of Satoru Gojo is enough to make all of that politeness go out the window. |
| 391 | * MeaningfulName: Her first name means "Song" (''Uta'') and "Princess" (''Hime''). According to Akutami, she's not only a great singer but it's also related to her Curse Technique. |
| 392 | * {{Miko}}: She dresses in a traditional shrine maiden outfit. She wore the same type of clothes even as a student during the [[WholeEpisodeFlashback Hidden Inventory arc]]. |
| 393 | * NotSoAboveItAll: When Gojo rigs the second half of the Goodwill Event to be a simple baseball match instead of individual battles, Iori covertly rushes her students to go get changed before the principals can change their minds, being a baseball fan herself. |
| 394 | * PositiveFriendInfluence: Made her friend Shoko Ieiri quit smoking. The effect has lasted for five years, until [[spoiler:the Shibuya Incident happened]]. |
| 395 | * RitualMagic: By adopting the full trappings of a ritualized dance Iori can increase her Technique's efficacy to 120% |
| 396 | * SupportPartyMember: [[spoiler:Her ability is revealed to be this, which retroactively explains why she is rarely in the frontlines. Her Cursed Techique allows her to temporarily amplify the Cursed Energy reserves and output of one willing target, including herself]]. |
| 397 | * VitriolicBestBuds: Gojo teases Iori relentlessly and Iori can barely stand to be in Gojo's presence. However, they've known each other since high school and find each other reliable. While Gojo dismisses the possibility of Iori being a traitor because of she's "too weak", it's clear that he is just messing with her, and when Gojo uses code to discuss how to weed out the real traitor, she follows along without missing a beat. |
