Jujutsu Kaisen

Nanami is a tall, well-built man with blonde hair styled with a neat part. Nanami has very thin eyebrows as well as small hazel-colored eyes that are usually covered by his signature sunglasses, which don't have arms that wrap around the ears.
Befitting a former office worker, Nanami is usually fully dressed in a formal business suit. His usual suit consists of a blue dress shirt underneath a tan blazer with matching slacks and light shoes. Attached to his dress shirt, there is a holster that sheaths Nanami's blunt sword, hidden by the back of his blazer. He also sports a necktie that shares the same dotted pattern as the bandages around his blunt sword.
After graduating from Jujutsu High and working for corporate, Nanami wore a vertical striped jacket over a white button-down shirt and dark-colored tie with white dots all over it, vertical striped pants, and black shoes. As a student, Nanami wore a normal Jujutsu High uniform. His hair was styled slightly differently when he was younger.
During the Shibuya Incident , Nanami loses an eye fighting Dagon and he is later left in a horrific state with half of his flesh and his entire hair burnt off on the left side after encountering Jogo.

Nanami is a very wise and reserved kind of man, often appearing so calm and indifferent that he comes off as stoic and aloof. He seems like the kind of person who's too serious about his work, but Nanami just knows how to separate sentimentalism from service. He's blunt and straight to the point in most conversations and doesn't care for impractical optimism [3] or questions left open to interpretation. [4]

Nanami's stoic personality in contrast to Satoru.

Additionally, Nanami is very avid and quick to express his irritation, either on his face or verbally with his words. Nanami is often very impatient. He hates working overtime and is very serious about not going a single minute over what's required of him. [5]
Beneath his tough exterior, Nanami is actually quite sociable and doesn't mind intelligent conversations. [6] He's practical and overly serious to an almost comedic point on occasion as well. He claims he only became a jujutsu sorcerer because it's slightly less idiotic than being a salaryman. In the role of one of Yuji's mentors, Nanami is a very big contrast to Satoru, who is far more outspoken and easy-going. [7] Yuji and Satoru describe Nanami as "gloomy" and the former didn't believe they would get along at first. [8]

" No matter what I'm clocking out by six. "

Nanami is just a normal man weighed down by the mundane day-to-day practices of life that stole his youth from him. Nanami doesn't believe age or life-threatening experience propels one into adulthood. Instead, he feels that it's the build-up of all the little inconveniences throughout life that transform people into adults. [9] He initially treated Yuji as a child because he didn't want to see him abandon his youth for the sake of being a jujutsu sorcerer. However, Yuji eventually proved himself and forced Nanami to acknowledge him. [10]

Nanami expressing his irritation and impatience.

Nanami knows being a jujutsu sorcerer is a dangerous and demanding job for crazy people, and so he has a hard time respecting people in the profession. Even though Nanami and Satoru are longtime friends, the former claims he doesn't respect Satoru despite their mutual trust in one another. [11] He returned to being a sorcerer from the life of a salaryman because he never felt truly appreciated and didn't believe his work had any significant impact on anyone. In contrast, work as a sorcerer allowed him to build up small bits of appreciation from innocent people. For Nanami, this was more than enough to allow him to live without regrets. [12]
Nanami had a similar yet naturally less mature personality while he was a student at Jujutsu High. He saw missions as a burden but his negativity was always offset by his classmate Yu Haibara 's extreme optimism. [13] Haibara's death affected Nanami greatly and likely played a role in his initial decision to leave life behind as a jujutsu sorcerer. One of the reasons he believes jujutsu sorcerers are trash is because they must force their comrades to accept that they must willingly sacrifice themselves. He recognizes that this lead him to "run away" from the profession, admitting that it's a more befitting phrase than suggesting he "quit". [14] Nanami wants to believe he's never been frustrated by his own uselessness, but many of his failures haunt him, such as allowing Haibara to die. [15]


Jujutsu Kaisen

Kinji is a tall young man with tan skin and a muscular build. He has small magenta-colored eyes with thin slitted eyebrows and a thin mustache made of stubble. While at Jujutsu High, Hakari had black hair styled into short twisted locks with a fade below his brow line. His hair is currently dyed blonde and in the shape of a puffy, tapered afro that slicks back toward the rear of his head.
As the boss of Gachinko Fight Club, Kinji dressed the part of a bookie. He sported a white tank-top beneath his dark fur coat along with gray pants and light-colored boots. After agreeing to combat the Culling Game , Hakari sports a Jujutsu High uniform jacket with the same jeans and boots. Unlike Yuji Itadori's hooded jacket, Kinji's uniform's hood is entirely connected and the same color as the rest of his jacket.

Kinji while working as a bookie. Kinji's physique.

Kinji is a very self-absorbed type of person who cares little for the rules and regulations of Jujutsu High. Yuta Okkotsu describes him as moody [1] and apparently, all the other students that are around Kinji's age think of him as a good-for-nothing. [2]
Kinji is an individual who enjoys watching people get lost in their passions. He describes this as people's "fever" burning hot. Kinji is clever and pours his own fever into manipulating others. He believes people are desperate to change their lives and an easy way of directing their fever is through gambling. He doesn't believe there is a single person that exists without the fever and his goal is to manipulate all of Japan's fever with his fight club.

" Wanna get high on my fever? "

According to Kirara Hoshi , Kinji's fever burns hottest when he's working as a sorcerer for jujutsu high. However, Kinji's attitude and modern cursed technique don't mesh well with the higher-ups. He was suspended for assaulting a conservative member and decided to act outside their regulations. Kinji is willing to take advantage of the chaos caused by the public reveal of curses to advance his fight club. Eventually, his goal is to get his club recognized by jujutsu officials for the coming changes in their regulations. [3]

Hakari changing his attitude toward Megumi after learning he's head of the Zenin clan.

Kinji is only willing to put his life on the line with another sorcerer if they show him a proper fever. Initially, upon encountering Yuji , Kinji felt that the first-year's fever was weak because Yuji was sent to him on the recommendation of others. Yuji explained that he's just a cog in the system of jujutsu sorcerers, which Kinji thought was boring. However, Yuji proved he's a cog in fever, burning hot enough to gain Kinji's attention. Kinji agreed to cut a deal with Yuji and his allies simply because he believes the fever never lies. [4]
Despite his brash disposition, Kinji is very grateful for those who took care of him. He was fairly distraught learning that Masamichi Yaga died and Satoru Gojo was sealed, claiming he hadn't been so bummed since Yakul got shot in the butt with an arrow. Yuji, Megumi , and Panda found this comment strange and they assumed Kinji must live a relatively calm life.

Kinji's way of encouraging Charles to pursue his dreams.

Kinji agreed to help Megumi and his allies but clarified that this isn't a personal favor, but a deal between both parties. Panda asked what exactly Kinji wanted and "sea-urchin head" (Megumi) somewhat answered for him, annoying Hakari. He felt bad for Yaga and Gojo, but Hakari was even more surprised to learn Megumi was head of the Zenin clan . Almost instantly, Hakari was nicer to Megumi and asked him to be best buds in order to gain a close ally within the Big Three Families . [5]
Kinji comes off as very selfish and rude, but he has a kind heart who respects other people's passions. Upon meeting Charles Bernard , a potential enemy, Hakari was willing to hear him out over the stress caused by the Culling Game . He put on a tough act and claimed to have felt weird about joining another guy on a ferris wheel and only did so to scout out the amusement park for a potential place to take a girl. Hakari was confident that Japan will return to normal while Charles believed his dreams could never be achieved under the circumstances. Charles needed to take out his rage and Hakari recognized that, so he provoked Charles by insulting his passion. [6] After their fight, Hakari made sure to check up on Charles and even asked to read his manga. Hakari asked if Charles felt better after finding an avenue for his stress through fighting and encouraged him to keep pursuing his dreams once the Culling Game ended. [7]
While Kinji doesn't necessarily seek out conflict, he thrives in threatening situations and enjoys gambling on himself in a fight. This includes his life-or-death bout with Hajime Kashimo where they talked and taunted one another in a competitive fashion throughout. Kinji was regularly smiling and even commended his opponent for nearly killing him several times. [8] Kinji was victorious but highly impressed with Kashimo's strength, earning his respect. He admitted he didn't feel like the winner and decided to cut a deal with Kashimo to create an alliance in exchange for what he knew Kashimo wanted most. [9]

Kirara is mostly known for their fierce loyalty and companionship with Kinji Hakari. Like Hakari, Kirara believes in the " fever ". They've nicknamed him "Kin" and have stated that they love when his fever runs "hot".
Kirara appears to enjoy having Hakari's attention as much as possible and will actively discourage it from being directed anywhere else. They didn't seem to enjoy when Hakari took an interest in Yuji and told made several comments while he was still on the phone trying to set up a meeting. Kirara told him to stop plotting out a future for Yuji as a fighter and was against working with security while Yuji gets the meeting. They also took exception to Hakari mentioning his ex-girlfriend at the end of his phone conversation, emphasizing that he shouldn't talk about her. [1]
Like they did with Hakari, Kirara likes to nickname people and was quick to give Yuji the nickname "Yu". Kirara centered their short conversation with Yuji around Hakari and their age comparison. Yuji noticed how cheerful Kirara was and they credited it to Hakari feeling "hot" again after a while. [2]

" Uh-oh! Kirara doesn't believe us!! "

Naturally protective of Hakari, Kirara dislikes Jujutsu High and disapproves of how their conservative members have treated him. They felt no sympathy for the school after their defeat in Shibuya and feels they've always had Satoru Gojo clean up their messes. [3] Heavily mistrusting the school, Kirara was quick to perceive Megumi as allied with Jujutsu High and considered him a threat as soon as he was caught sneaking around the fight club with Panda . They also felt betrayed by Panda, who Kirara didn't feel would ever work with the school against Hakari. [4]
Megumi and Panda explained they weren't with Jujutsu High and were just asking for help, but Kirara remained suspicious and refused to cooperate at first. They even revealed Satoru Gojo had been sealed but Kirara just gave them a comically skeptical look that clearly conveyed she didn't believe them at all. [5] Kirara fought against both of them with a lot of determination to keep them away from Hakari [6] but was ultimately outsmarted by Megumi. Annoyed with Megumi, she claimed that for a first-year he wasn't very cute. However, once he released Kirara and begged for them to listen, they realized he was actually being genuine and agreed to hear him out.

Kirara recognizes Yuji's fever and points it out to Hakari.

Kirara even helped convince Hakari to listen to them before she heard what Megumi had to say. Their first attempt was while trying to de-escalate a fight between Hakari and Yuji. Kirara revealed that Yuji and his allies just want help, but Hakari claimed he would listen as long as Yuji remained standing. This surprised Kirara, Megumi, and Panda and left them unsure of how to respond.
Kirara can recognize the fever in people and they know what it means to Hakari. Kirara noticed that Yuji was burning with fever and pointed it out to Hakari so he couldn't deny it, asking him if Yuji was hot enough for him yet. Kirara knew this would make confirm for Hakari that Yuji has the fever and this reinforces his belief that the fever never lies. Hakari suddenly agreed to help Yuji, confusing Megumi and Panda, who had to double-check with Kirara that they got him to agree. Kirara still hates the higher-ups but they know Hakari's fever was burning the hottest while he was helping people at Jujutsu High. [7]

His confidence is heavily shaken by Satoru Gojo and Kento Nanami especially, constantly fearing they'll punish him for making a mistake. [6] Gojo's playful attitude and complete disregard for regulations make Kiyotaka much more anxious compared to his ordinary demeanor. [7]
When they were students, Gojo made Kiyotaka stop pursuing the path of a sorcerer by casually calling him useless and threatening to slap him if he didn't quit. This made Kiyotaka believe Gojo believed less of him. He even believed Gojo would've preferred if he died instead of Nanami in Shibuya .

Despite barely being considered intelligent, Ko-Guy believes himself to be very smart. Upon meeting Yuji, nearly everything he talked about revolved about either himself being smart or asking if Yuji if he's smart. When Yuji revealed to him that smart people don't really talk about being smart, he was surprised and covered his mouth to stop talking.

Kokichi is a slim young man with light peach skin and sharp brown eyes. He had black hair tied into a top knot above his head and the majority of his body was obstructed by the bindings of his Heavenly Restriction. His entire body was scarred with grotesquely thin wrinkled skin that he dressed in bandages.

Following his healing at the hands of Mahito 's Idle Transfiguration , Kokichi obtained a healthy body. Only a single scar on his cheek remained and he was able to stand up on his own.

Kurourushi did not possess a distinct ego and was instead driven entirely by its instincts as a cursed spirit. It wanted only to devour humans in an attempt to satiate its bottomless appetite. Kurourushi was displeased by anything that got in the way of its feeding.
When Yuta Okkotsu interrupted Kurourushi's meal after it woke up in a state of starvation, the cockroach curse focused solely on devouring him instead.

Jujutsu Kaisen

As described by jujutsu sorcerers, Mahito is a human-looking cursed spirit with a patchwork face and gray eyes. (In the anime, Mahito possesses heterochromia, as his left eye is dark blue and his right eye is gray.) He has long grayish-blue hair that reaches past his neck and is sectioned off into three large strands with ties at the ends. Along with his face, Mahito has stitches all across his body that give him the appearance that he was sewn together.
Mahito normally sports a black shawl that is separated into three pieces on the left sleeve. He also wears matching pants with and sometimes without white shoes.

Mahito is an immature and sadistic cursed spirit who enjoys toying with human emotions. He believes he was born from human transgressions and considers himself the manifestation of humans' hatred of each other. As such, Mahito supports human extermination and deems cursed spirits to be the true rulers of the world. Unlike his ally Jogo, who is short-tempered and arrogant, Mahito can remain relatively calm and playful upon confrontation with an enemy. Even so, they agree on the same goals for the future of their kind. He has a genuine friendship with the other curses, as he scolds Pseudo-Geto for putting Jogo in danger, protects Hanami from Haruta , and wants to avoid fighting with Jogo in Shibuya.
Mahito is also very philosophical when it comes to the concept of souls. He believes the human soul existed before the body and is intrigued by its nature. His cursed technique is derived from this obsession, and he uses it to experiment on human victims to gain further knowledge.
Mahito has no sympathy for humans and appears to place little value even on his own life. He is devoted to the cause, believing that reviving Sukuna is more important than his own well-being. As long as cursed spirits eventually reign supreme, Mahito doesn't care if he's there to see it.
Possibly due to the nature of his birth, Mahito is adept at psychological manipulation. He preys on human hatred, sorrow, and insecurities to direct people to accommodate his goals to the point where his victims go against any common sense. After indirectly causing the death of Junpei 's mother by placing Sukuna's finger in her house, he convinces her son that the one who did it was Shota Ito , which, in turn, drives Junpei to become a curse user to avenge his mom. Mahito manipulates Junpei so thoroughly that the boy never considers Mahito evil, even after seeing his experiments in the sewer. Junpei only realizes Mahito's twisted nature when it's too late, moments before Mahito disfigures his body.

Mahito feeding the darkness in Junpei's heart.

Nanami describes Mahito as extraordinarily childish and similar to Satoru Gojo . He enjoys messing with humans, even in battle when his life is on the line. Mahito befriends Junpei because he sees him as a toy that can be fun to play with. He coerces Junpei into becoming a curse user by feeding on his hatred. When Junpei runs out of use, Mahito uses him as leverage against Yuji and even kills him without a second thought.
Mahito experiences a shift in his mindset after his first fight with Yuji. Whereas before, he had mindlessly killed whoever he chose without any objective or strategy, his defeat and humiliation against Yuji strengthens his resolve. With this heightened resolve also comes a greater level of apathy towards others, even his fellow disaster curses. Whereas both Dagon and Jogo mourned Hanami's passing, Mahito only expressed mild surprise before returning to his care-free demeanor. He became more determined to break Yuji's spirit and affirm his identity as a curse. In his second fight against Yuji, he delivers a speech to his opponent declaring their fight is a battle of truths to see who will be left standing in the next century.
Usually composed, Mahito is shaken when his safety is threatened, as seen when Yuji's attacks seriously damage Mahito. Furthermore, when Nobara Kugisaki uses her cursed technique on him, he is surprised that her cursed technique can bypass physical resistance and attack his soul. He emphasizes getting rid of her, showing a strong desire to neutralize anyone or anything capable of hurting him. At the end of his second battle with Yuji, critically injured by Black Flash and exhausted, Mahito is terrified of Yuji when the latter shows him the resolve to hunt him down. At this moment, Mahito sees in Yuji the same callous disdain that he showed humanity. Mahito desperately tries to escape Yuji, making it clear that despite all his bravado and pontificating, he is little more than a cruel, cowardly, and hypocritical child at heart who enjoyed hurting others when there was no danger to him but was fearful when the consequences of his actions finally caught up with him.


Jujutsu Kaisen

Mai looked identical to her twin sister Maki Zenin , but with her hair cut shorter. She had mid-length black hair (dark green in the anime) that reached just to her neck with bangs swept to the right side, dark brown eyes and thin eyebrows.
Mai's school uniform consists of the traditional outfit. While training, Mai is shown wearing a long sleeve tracksuit with black sleeves and shoulders and a white body, along with black pants. As a child, Mai wore a dark kimono with a black sash. Her casual outfit consists of a black sleeveless high collar shirt with a long, black skirt and black shoes.

Like her twin sister Maki Zenin , Mai was mistreated by the Zenin clan growing up only for being a girl with little talent for jujutsu . Mai was content with living under their thumb as a servant and would rather do chores than fight. In contrast, Maki wanted to spite the clan and work as a sorcerer. The repercussions of Maki's rebellion forced Mai to study to become a jujutsu sorcerer . Mai detested the grotesque work exorcising curses entails and resented Maki for essentially thrusting them both into that life.
Mai was an unwilling sorcerer who took out her frustrations on others, mainly her rivals and Maki. She has a snarky and rude personality due to her experiences. She's crude and likes to boost her own ego. While Mai doesn't particularly like Aoi Todo , she hangs around him to make herself look tougher than she is. Unlike how she treated the Tokyo students, Mai got along with her peers, for the most part, especially Momo Nishimiya and Kasumi Miwa . She also appears to be the only one who can tolerate Todo and was visibly disappointed with Mechamaru when he betrayed their group. [4]

" Why didn't you... fall down the hole with me? "

Although Mai is well aware of how physically gifted Maki is, she acted as if her twin sister is completely talentless. Mai barbed her directly during the lead-up to the Goodwill Event and targeted her juniors as well. Mai insulted Yuji Itadori , the dear friend of Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki who had recently died, just to taunt the first years upon meeting them. [5] She also told Maki that she was worthless because she couldn't even use cursed energy. [6]

Mai leaves everything to her big sister.

Maki promised she would stay with Mai when they were younger. When Maki left the clan and broke that promise, Mai began calling her a liar. She hated her sister for leaving and never told her anything like her first crush or that she had a cursed technique . When Mai lost to Maki in the Goodwill Event, she asked why her sister didn't fall down the hole with her. She was dissatisfied with Maki's answer and continued to hate her from that point. [7]
Mai was forced to put her feelings toward Maki aside when their own father attacked them. With both twins on the edge of death, Mai decided to sacrifice her life to give Maki the tools to live on. Mai always knew Maki was tough and acknowledged that she was only holding her sister back, openly admitting that the situation sucked. Mai suspected that she might have to make a tough decision one day and decided to go through with sacrificing herself so that Maki could reach her full potential. In a moment that took the twins back to their childhood, Mai asked her big sister to destroy everything in exchange. [8]


Jujutsu Kaisen

Maki is a young woman with a tall athletic build. She has small golden eyes and long black hair (dark green in the anime) normally tied into a short ponytail. She had fringes of hair over her forehead with smaller strands framing her cheeks and used to sport different pairs of glasses that allowed her to see curses.
While still a member of the Zenin clan, Maki wore a traditional outfit, a white yukata, and a black hakama. [4] Maki's original Jujutsu High student uniform consisted of the traditional long sleeve jacket with a skirt. As a first-year student, she wore thick, long tan socks and black shoes with her uniform. As a second-year Maki wore a different pair of glasses and sported black leggings instead of socks. [5] [6]
While training for the Goodwill Event , Maki wore a purple tracksuit a black jersey with tan shorts over her leggings. [7] While training Yuta Okkotsu , Maki wore the same top with darker shorts. Her casual clothes consisted of a cyan hoodie over a white shirt with pink horizontal stripes, white shorts over black leggings, and white boots. [8]

Maki as a first-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High. Maki's initial appearance as a second-year. Maki's initial appearance as a second-year (manga).

Maki is a very headstrong and straightforward person who tries to drive herself forward without needing anyone else's help. She is extremely strong-willed, capable, and motivated to escape the standards that have been set for her by people who are supposed to be her family.
In a sorcerer clan, strong cursed techniques are everything, but Maki couldn't even see curses. Women in sorcerer clans have to stand out even more, leading Maki to be constantly severely mistreated and abused by the Zenin clan. Despite feeling cursed by her own blood, Maki motivates herself to become a strong sorcerer regardless of what her family thinks. She wants to break apart the foundation of their way of their life and reject it completely.

Maki yelling at Yuta for getting them in a troublesome situation.

Maki can come off as rather cold at times, even to her classmates. She is the leader type but Maki is very tough on others and tends to be impatient and hot-tempered. Maki doesn't seem to respect Satoru Gojo as a person due to his very goofy attitude. Even as her teacher and senior, Maki often refers to him as a moron. She was initially very mean to Yuta because of his shy attitude and openly told him he had no business attending Jujutsu High as a cursed human . [12]
While working on a mission together, Maki and Yuta learned to understand one another and she realized they weren't so different. She asked Yuta why he enrolled in the school and he told her that he wanted it to be acceptable for him to live. Maki told him that's what Jujutsu High is all about and encouraged him to use his curse to save people. [13]

Maki encouraging Yuta to use his curse to help people.

Maki trained Yuta harshly because she wants to see him get stronger and fight beside her. Something she would later impart on to Megumi and Nobara as their senpai. She's taught them all highly advanced situational awareness and how to properly wield a variety of weapons, even if they had to get beaten up a lot in the process. [14]
Maki has repressed many of her emotions to maintain her trademark tough exterior. She hasn't expressed romantic interest in anyone and Panda enjoyed teasing her about this as first-years. When it came to Yuta, this embarrassed Maki enough to lash out at Panda in a temper. [15]

" Don't go thinking you've been recognized or something. "

Following their first encounter with Suguru Geto , Maki and Yuta talked about why Geto referred to her as the "failure of the Zenin clan". Maki initially played it off as if being born a non-sorcerer gave her a perfect excuse to leave because she hated the clan for a variety of other reasons. When Yuta inquired as to why Maki chooses to be a sorcerer and Maki said it's because she's got a bad personality and wants to be a grade 1 sorcerer to spite the Zenin clan.
Yuta admires Maki's strength and revealed he wants to be like her, strong and resilient. Yuta awkwardly offered to help her stick it to the Zenin clan but called him an idiot and said it was something she needed to do alone. She had spent so long rejecting the need to feel accepted that she became flustered that Yuta kindly recognized her strength. Maki left the conversation to gain her composure and then reminded herself that she should not go feeling like she's finally been recognized. [16]

Maki embarrassed after accidentally portraying herself as a "cold-hearted demon".

As a second-year student, Maki carries an aura of leadership and guides her juniors appropriately. She gravitates toward Megumi Fushiguro because he's also an ex-member of the Zenin clan and they get along well. She's comfortable with teasing him even if it's harsh and this can make her come off as a "cold-hearted demon" at times. When she found Megumi sulking with Nobara Kugisaki , she jokingly asked them if they had just attended a funeral. However, this was ironically after their classmate, Yuji Itadori 's death. This made Maki feel really guilty and as usual, she lashed out at Panda in a rage for not informing her sooner. Even after the accident, Maki was still unsure if taking it easy on the first-year students would've even been a kindness. [17]
Maki is someone with a chip on her shoulder and is always determined to prove herself. For the Kyoto Goodwill Event , she needed strong teammates to help showcase her abilities on a public stage where she couldn't be denied. She encouraged Megumi and Nobara to get stronger for their fallen ally and figured it was the perfect opportunity to put her juniors in their place. [18]

Maki annoyed with Megumi's attitude.

Maki doesn't appear to be concerned with the moral aspects of being a sorcerer and is more focused on personal goals. While training, Megumi asked Maki what kind of people she wanted to save as a sorcerer but she doesn't think about that kind of stuff. This clearly annoyed Megumi which in turn angered Maki. She decided to compromise and told Megumi they could talk about it if he improved his skills in hand-to-hand combat enough to challenge her. [19]
As a child, Maki promised her twin sister Mai that she would stay with her forever. However, as Maki grew older she realized she couldn't live under the thumb of the oppressive family while Mai was content with doing so. Leaving Mai behind led the only person Maki cared about in the clan to resent her as well. Mai was punished for Maki leaving by getting pressured into becoming a sorcerer even though she wanted to live a normal life. She grew to hate Maki by the time they were both in Jujutsu High. [20]

" What if someone who's looked down on like me became a great sorcerer? "

Mai treated Maki as if she was worthless because she lacked significant cursed energy. This is the same type of ridicule most of the Zenin clan threw at Maki all her life, so it didn't appear to bother Maki all that much. In the stance where Mai and Nobara got in a fight, Maki told her twin that they were both worthless because Mai isn't that talented herself, only able to charge weapons with cursed energy.
This revelation surprised Nobara, who asked the same question Yuta did, why would Maki want to become a sorcerer. Maki simply told her that she wanted to prove her family wrong by becoming a great sorcerer. Nobara expressed her profound respect but Maki didn't make a big deal out of it. [21] During the planning phase of the Goodwill Event, Maki overheard Nobara telling Yuji about her circumstances and how they have to win to prove the Zenin clan wrong. At the time, it annoyed her, but only because Maki doesn't want the others to worry about her. Recalling her classmate's acknowledgment of her ability, later on, made Maki smile. [22]

Maki couldn't stay with Mai at the clan because she would've hated herself.

Maki didn't actively try to repair her relationship with Mai and engaged in their sibling rivalry to a degree. After defeating Mai, Maki is asked to explain why she didn't stay at the bottom and fall down the hole with her sister. This saddened Maki, who replied that she would've hated herself and apologized to Mai for leaving. Maki walked away without a clear resolution and continued the event, leaving their relationship still fractured. [23]
In spite of their troubled past, Maki was able to operate cordially on missions with other members of the Zenin clan. She shared a squad with the head of the clan during the Shibuya Incident. Naobito Zenin was acting very lazy in Shibuya so Maki took over the leadership role to help guide Nobara and Akari Nitta . She would tell them to ignore him whenever he would ask for anything off mission. [24]

Maki and Naobito stirring up tension on their squad.

Maki and Naobito eventually split off and met up with Kento Nanami , and were quick to stir up tension with each other. Naobito mentioned that he wouldn't mind if Satoru stay sealed and Maki told him to leave Shibuya if he wasn't going to be any help. Naobito argued that Maki should be the one to leave and Nanami agreed that the fighting in Shibuya had escalated to a degree far too dangerous for her. She ignored this and claimed she'd be more help than a drunk like Naobito, causing Nanami to become more annoyed with him for drinking on the job. [25] However, this was before Maki ever saw Naobito's capabilities as a sorcerer. She and Nanami were taken back by Naobito's speed and Maki even begrudgingly admitted that Naobito saved her life against Dagon . This was humiliating for Maki but she continued to fight in sync alongside Naobito and Nanami in an attempt to exorcise the cursed spirit. [26]

" You know, you're really such a cocky brat! " - Maki thanking Megumi.

Maki doesn't take well to taunts and is quick to insult anyone back regardless of who they are. Inside his domain , Dagon called Maki the weakest there. After surviving a hard hit that surely injured her, Maki responded by boldly taunting Dagon and confronting the special grade directly again. Maki told the "octopus" that if he's going to call her weak, then he should've killed in her with that one hit. Maki was also annoyed with herself for not taking Playful Cloud out earlier in preparation for tougher battles instead of waiting for permission. She was happy to see Megumi when he invaded the domain and gave her Playful Cloud. She smiled and her way of expressing gratitude to her junior was calling Megumi a cocky brat. [27]

Maki asking Megumi to become clan head because she's can't create a home for Mai yet.

Maki was severely scarred and injured as a result of the fighting in Shibuya, but she's not the type to ever make a big deal out of it. Yuta reunited with her after some time and expressed his concern but Maki claimed she was fine. When Yuki acknowledged what happened and commended Maki's toughness, Maki simply replied that it was not like she was going for it. [28]
Even in a team of unlikely allies compiled to combat the Culling Game , Maki's leadership skills helped everyone keep in line with their roles for rescuing Tsumiki Fushiguro . She was the one who suggested that Yuji and Megumi recruit Hakari despite his bad attitude because their group is shorthanded and needs all the help they can get. [29]

Maki forced to let go of Mai just moments after reconciling.

When the opportunity presented itself for Maki to push for head of the clan, she couldn't bring herself to do so. With Naobito's death, Megumi became head of the Zenin clan due to a special clause. Megumi didn't want to accept the position but Maki implored him to do it. She tried to convince him of all the luxuries that came with being clan, but typical Megumi refused and asked her to do it instead. Irritated, Maki told him no one would accept her and started yelling, listing off all the reasons Megumi would make a decent head before adding barely at the end. Megumi refused still and argued acceptance wouldn't matter but Maki wasn't just good enough to them, but good enough for herself either. Maki believed she still wasn't able to make the clan somewhere Mai could feel she belonged. [30]
Maki's complicated relationship with her family was on full display when she returned to the Zenin clan to collect cursed tools. Despite having the clan head's permission, Maki was still constantly harassed on her way there. She ignored both Naoya and her mother's harsh words and pressed on to the vault. Maki's own father conspired against her, attempting to execute Megumi along with the twins. Maki fought against him bravely and tried to save Mai, but was defeated and gravely injured, leaving Maki to be the one saved by Mai.

Maki ruthlessly executes her promise to destroy the clan.

Maki was forced to say goodbye to her sister too soon, marking a massive change in her personality. Inside a dream-like space, Mai explained that she was going to sacrifice herself while distancing herself from Maki. During that conversation, Maki listened to Mai's explanation but she was constantly trying to close that distance. She didn't want to let go of Mai, before they ever truly got a chance to reconcile, but was forced to accept this was the end. In exchange for Mai giving everything to ensure Maki reached her potential, Maki promised to destroy everything. Maki was devastated by her sister's death but had no time to mourn and had to carry out Mai's request immediately, killing their father in cold blood. Immediately after, Maki was ready to continue and looked to the last thing her sister left for her, a sword. With a cold and remorseless disposition, Maki looked to the sword and told Mai " lets get started. ". [31]

Maki's cold and merciless disposition towards her clan after losing Mai.

Maki ruthlessly annihilated the entire Zenin clan without any expression of emotion. She slaughtered every member of the Hei and the Kukuri unit present that day without a hint of remorse. The only words she exchanged with anyone were with Naoya when he asked if she had a human heart. This was after she decapitated Jinichi and tossed his severed head into a pond. Her reply was simply: " No... it was taken from me. ". [32] He also tried to call Maki an imposter during their fight but Maki interrupted him by smashing his face with a punch. Then she taunted him by asking him if he could repeat that statement. [33]
In the midst of her ruthless tirade, Maki still wanted to believe there was good left in her family. Before killing her own mother, Maki attempted to see if her mom was trying to warn her about Ogi's trap back when she harassed Maki upon her return. However, Maki was assuming the best of her mother and appeared disappointed when she didn't get a fortunate answer. Maki's own mother fell way to her vengeful wrath and even after that, Maki left Mai's body with Momo Nishimiya and killed off the rest of the clan members who weren't present that day. [34]

"I'm at my best!"

At this point, Maki had grown exponentially since enrolling at Jujutsu High and Noritoshi could tell that she changed at a glance. [35] However, she grew content being more like her peers, and was unable to maximize her potential. She lacked the perception same Hagane Daido possessed and struggled to understand what she was missing to make her like Toji Fushiguro . [36] While normally relaxed and focused, Maki became tense and frustrated. Maki was self-aware enough to recognize that she was overthinking and accepted Rokujushi Miyo 's offer to sumo wrestle in order to blow off some steam. [37] Maki never truly had anyone she could sincerely recognize as a teacher because she views Satoru and Atsuya as idiots. She never rejected the idea of having a teacher due to pride, it just never crossed her mind to rely on anyone else to grow stronger. Maki put her trust in Miyo and explained what was holding her back. Through sumo wrestling, Miyo taught Maki how to free her mind and perceive everything around her without the pressures of the world on her shoulders. With that newfound freedom of the mind, Maki smiled and proudly declared that she was at her best. [38]

Maki advising Noritoshi not to make the same mistakes she did.

Maki's enlightened mental state allowed her to bring out her full fighting potential. She regained her calm and focused demeanor along with a newfound sense of freedom and confidence in herself. She realized it wasn't enough to be like everyone else and needed to focus on what she could do specifically, things only she and Toji could achieve. Maki was completely nonchalant during the latter stages of her fight with Naoya's cursed spirit form as he became the increasingly frustrated one. [39] Maki didn't bother acknowledging Naoya's antics a single time and effortlessly took him down. In one last conversation with her sister, Maki is able to confirm that she's broken anything that shackled her, just as Mai intended. [40]
Despite everything Maki has been through, she remains loyal and kind to her friends. Although she and Noritoshi weren't close before their time in Sakurajima together, Maki could relate to him due to their complicated familial relationships. Maki told Noritoshi to talk with his mother before assuming she doesn't want him. After learning Naoya was killed by her mother, Maki admits maybe she was wrong about her and never got a good answer as to what a mother is. She implored Noritoshi to find out for himself and not to make the same mistake she did. [41]


Jujutsu Kaisen

Manami is a young woman with long dusty-pink hair that reaches past her shoulders and dark blue-green eyes. In 2017 her hair was slightly shorter but it still extended past her shoulders. As Suguru's assistant, Manami wore a sleeveless black dress and long dark heels. During the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, Manami wore a white jacket with a fur collar.
A year later, Manami still wears dresses as her main attire. During the Shibuya Incident, she wore a different light-colored jacket over it that she wore over her shoulders without putting her arms in the sleeves.

Manami Suda in 2017. Manami standing with Negi in 2018.

Manami Suda shares the same mindset as Suguru and their allies. She believes non-sorcerers are monkeys and can hardly believe they're of the same race. Suguru appeared to enjoy being with Manami when she was his assistant, showing a much kinder and playful side around her. Shortly after killing someone, the two of them took a selfie together to celebrate their family coming back together.
Following Suguru's death, Manami and Toshihisa agreed to work with Pseudo-Geto despite him stealing their master's body. Mimiko and Nanako wanted to kill Pseudo-Geto but Manami felt that was a childish idea. She agreed with Toshihisa that the best way to honor Suguru's will was to make the world he envisioned a reality.


Jujutsu Kaisen

Masamichi was a tall man with a muscular frame and tan skin. He had short, spiky, dark brown hair on top with the rest of his head shaved. He has thick eyebrows and his facial hair consists of a mustache and goatee combination.
Like many other sorcerers, Masamichi always sports sunglasses. In 2017, he wore a white dress shirt underneath a black jacket with matching pants and shoes. In 2018, he began wearing a fully zipped-up long-sleeved black jacket with similar shoes and pants. In 2006, Masamichi's hair wasn't spiky yet and he had two straight parts wrapped around his head. He also didn't sport sunglasses as much back before he became principal.

Masamichi in 2006. Masamichi in 2017.

Masamichi was always a stern, thoughtful, and earnest man who served as a positive role model for all his staff and students at Jujutsu High. He had a strong moral center and a lot of patience, especially compared to the higher-ups. He was the primary mentor for Satoru and Suguru, who were particularly difficult individuals to deal with when they were students. Satoru once left a manager behind and then forgot to put up a curtain during a mission. Unsure of who did it, Masamichi spoke to all his students and gave them the chance to come clean. Satoru didn't own up to it properly so Masamichi punished him physically. [3]
Satoru and Suguru often clashed over their conflicting views on sorcery but Masamichi's authoritative presence got them to stop squabbling as soon as he entered the room. [4] As students with spirited personalities, Satoru and Suguru messed with Masamichi all the time. When Masamichi assigned the duo the escort mission for the Star Plasma Vessel , they said that he finally lost it and had gotten carried away after being named the next principal. This annoyed Masamichi as usual but he was willing to put it aside after telling them he would decide whether they were joking or not. [5]

Masamichi and Satoru both deeply distraught over Suguru going rogue.

Masamichi is still constantly irritated by Satoru even after he grew up. Satoru is constantly late to their meetings even after Masamichi repeatedly reminds him not to do so [6] and Masamichi is the one responsible for reigning him in whenever he pulls one of his stunts like publically taunting Principal Gakuganji . Despite the contrast in their personalities, Masamichi shares the same progressive attitude that Satoru does toward the students of Jujutsu High. On at least two occasions, the higher-ups have sentenced potential young sorcerers to death. Masamichi and Satoru decided to make Yuta and Yuji students rather than stick to tradition or the decisions made by the higher-ups. Suguru's betrayal devastated Masamichi as much as it did Satoru. Neither of them could make sense of what happened or Suguru's motivations at the time and were distraught that their comrade would suddenly go completely rogue. [7] Masamichi didn't blame Satoru for not executing Suguru and even apologized for even asking why he didn't. [8]

" Education includes helping students make realizations. "

When interviewing Yuji, he initially refused to allow him to become a student because Yuji's motivation was a dying request from his grandfather. However, becoming a sorcerer for someone else for any reason is unacceptable in Masamichi's opinion, even if it comes at the request of a family member. He asked Yuji if it would be his grandfather's fault if he were killed by a curse, a very harsh question. Yuji pointed out the horrible nature of the statement but Masamichi clarified that it's a teacher's job to make their students have realizations. His methods are unorthodox, but Masamichi prides himself on developing his students. Masamichi used one of his cursed corpses to attack Yuji, pressuring him to give a better answer. Masamichi claimed that no jujutsu sorcerer dies without regret but Yuji told him he didn't want to live with regrets either, which was a satisfactory response. [9]

Masamichi raising Panda as his own child.

Masamichi tests the convictions of his students due to what happened with Suguru, which is likely Masamichi's biggest regret. While Gakuganji believed Yuji should've been executed because of the threat Sukuna presents, Masamichi argued on his behalf. Masamichi pointed out the lives Yuji has saved and his potential to be a great sorcerer. He knew regrets aren't limited to just the students and that Yuji will experience a lot of it. However, Masamichi believed that they should try and guide Yuji and put their regrets as adults to the side. They comedically agreed they needed to do something about Satoru first anyway. [10]

Masamichi using a cursed corpse to help Kusakabe's sister heal from her trauma.

Masamichi has a few personality quirks that distinguish him from being an overly serious man. He has a comedic catchphrase, "Goddamn!" (in English), that he says whenever he's surprised by something. Masamichi is also known for liking cute stuff, which is in direct contrast to his sternness. His cursed corpses are essentially cute dolls, and Yuji met Masamichi while he was making some, confusing the new student. [11]
Masamichi's responsibility as a role model extends to his cursed corpses. He is essentially Panda's father and raised him throughout his youth. When Panda was still very young, Masamichi encouraged him revealing that he had two siblings inside of him that would lend him strength should he ever need it. [12] Masamichi raised Panda into adolescence and enrolled him into Jujutsu High. The other students are aware of this relationship as Maki has mentioned that Panda is the principal's favorite. [13]

Masamichi willingly sacrifices himself to protect his secrets.

Masamichi considers his own talent as a sorcerer to be a "curse". As the foremost practitioner of puppet jujutsu, Masamichi was able to develop fully independent cursed corpses. Upon creating Panda, Masamichi was restrained and interrogated about raising his own army. Since that point, Masamichi has kept his other creations a secret within a forest protected by Tengen. [14] However, he broke his own rule in order to help Kusakabe 's sister deal with the loss of her son. Masamichi is a kind man who invented a cursed corpse with her son Takeru's soul information to help her cope, which Kusakabe is immensely grateful for. [15] When facing execution following the Shibuya Incident, Masamichi was well aware his time was running out and that the higher-ups just wanted his formula for creating independent cursed corpses. Rather than expose his own secret, Masamichi allowed himself to be fatally injured by Gakuganji. Only in his last moments did Masamichi pass on his formula to his executioner, stating that it was "a curse from me to you". [16]


Jujutsu Kaisen

Megumi is a relatively tall and slim young man with fair skin and green eyes (dark-blue eyes in the anime adaptation) that slant upwards to denote his harsher and colder personality. He has uniquely styled black hair with long spikes that jut out in every direction around his head, resembling a sea-urchin (according to Hakari ). When first meeting Megumi, Gojo noted the resemblance to his father Toji Fushiguro and Megumi himself has similar facial features and the same green eyes as his late father.
Following the Shinjuku Showdown Arc and his separation from Sukuna , Megumi acquires three facial scars corresponding with the eyes of Sukuna's incarnated form: one scar below Megumi's left eye, and two scars where the eyes of Sukuna's "second face" were. [5]
Megumi typically wears a standard Jujutsu High uniform with a dark blue jacket over a long-sleeved white dress shirt. His uniform pants match his jacket and only reach to just above his shins. He wears long black socks that cover his exposed ankles and finishes his outfit with low-top brown shoes. He also has a blue tracksuit for training.
In middle school, Megumi wore the Saitama Urami East Junior High uniform, which consisted of a tan jacket over a white dress shirt with black pants and white sneakers. While sneaking inside the Gachinko Fight Club , Megumi wore a black hoodie and matching pants with his normal shoes as a disguise.

Megumi in first grade. Megumi in middle school. Megumi's tracksuit. Megumi in the manga (gray).

Megumi is a very outwardly stoic, aloof, and calculating individual. He usually has a neutral facial expression that he rarely changes, making it appear as if he takes every situation seriously. This contrasts heavily with Yuji, Nobara, and Satoru's outgoing and goofy personalities, which often annoy Megumi. He's easily irritated and Yuji has noted that Megumi seems like he's always slightly angry. [6]

Megumi's resolute sternness even as a child.

Even as a child, Megumi was very stern, earnest, and thoughtful, to the point where Satoru questioned if he was a first-grader when they first met. He didn't care for his father and assumed he and Tsumiki were abandoned. Megumi understood his situation with the Zenin clan and stood firm that he would only cooperate if Tsumiki were happy as well. [7]
Megumi has always been annoyed by Satoru's attitude ever since they first met. He didn't care for the idea of becoming a sorcerer and became more jaded about it over time. By the time Megumi reached middle school, his impersonal attitude had fully set in. He thought becoming a jujutsu sorcerer would be pointless as he didn't see himself as someone who saves others. Uninterested in making friends, Megumi believed the basis of human interaction was avoiding violating someone else's dignity. He would beat up school bullies who ignored this rule to feed their egos, gaining a reputation as the biggest troublemaker in school as a result. Tsumiki wanted him to stop getting in fights but Megumi didn't listen and wrote her off.

Megumi bullying the bullies in middle school.

Megumi hated bad people with unearned pride just as much as he did good people who were too merciful to the former. Tsumiki was a perfect example of a good person to Megumi but he would disagree with and get annoyed with her anytime she scolded him for hurting someone bad. After Tsumiki fell into an unending sleep, Megumi realized he was acting immaturely. He knew Tsumiki was choosing to protect and that she believed that his lack of forgiveness was his way of showing kindness. After Tsumiki was cursed, Megumi was filled with regret and found the drive to become a sorcerer so he could save her. [8]

Megumi and Yuji disagreeing about retrieving the body of a criminal.

As a jujutsu sorcerer, Megumi developed his sense of justice and is steadfast in his interpretation of right and wrong. Like his mentor, Megumi refuses to be influenced by traditions within the jujutsu world. Yuji should've been executed when they first met but Megumi ignored the rules and made a personal request to Satoru to protect him. [9]

"I'm not a hero, I'm a jujutsu sorcerer."

Megumi was unsure for a while if he made the correct decision. He was uncomfortable with the idea that he was someone who saved people. He believed saving the wrong people could hurt innocent people in the future, which made saving Yuji a contradictory decision. [10] Megumi learned. Megumi cast aside his uncertainty when he came face-to-face with the consequences of his choice, Sukuna. He decided the only thing that's fair in life is how it's unfair to everyone and sorcerers can be a cog in karmic retribution. He wants more good people like Tsumiki to receive fairness and that's why he'll save people unfairly. Megumi realized that he didn't save Yuji because it was logical, he did it because he didn't want to see a good person die. He knows it was a selfish and emotional decision but he's okay with that because he's not a hero, he's a jujutsu sorcerer. That is why Megumi never regretted saving Yuji, not even for a second. [11]

Megumi and Nobara vow to get stronger for their fallen friend.

Being unable to save Yuji or Tadashi Okazaki during the detention center incident left Megumi pondering his role as a sorcerer. He asked Maki what kind of people she wanted to save, only to be annoyed by her response. [12] Megumi and Nobara weren't exactly friends at this point, but Yuji's premature demise brought them closer together. It was the first time either of them lost a friend in battle and they decided to honor him by participating in the Goodwill Event to honor their fallen friend, swearing to get stronger no matter what. [13]
In response to Todo's classic "what kind of girls do you like?" question, Megumi said that he doesn't have a preference as long as his partner is compassionate. He was trying to de-escalate the situation but this only irritated Todo due to their opposing personalities. When it came to blows, despite being outmatched, Megumi never backed down. [14] Megumi didn't hold any resentment toward Todo and was uninterested in a rematch, which disappointed Panda. [15]

"I don't care if I'm right or wrong. I only believe in my conscience!"

Megumi didn't have any loyalty to the Zenin clan so he didn't reciprocate Noritoshi Kamo's familiarity with him. He rejected Noritoshi's belief that as descendants of the Big Three Families, they were obligated to kill Sukuna's vessel. Megumi expressed that he didn't care about being right or wrong and acted only according to his conscience. He told Noritoshi that he would save people unfairly and if they disagree, they would have to agree to curse each other instead. [16]

Megumi's secretive nature annoying Yuji and Nobara.

Megumi was distant with Yuji and Nobara despite considering them his comrades and friends. He was so embarrassed when they visited his middle school that he couldn't speak properly. Yuji and Nobara felt Megumi never shared much with them and hassled him for about his secretiveness. Megumi even blushed when he was reunited with Takeda and was annoyed with Akari Nitta for making him the one to speak with the faculty member. He never shared information on Tsumiki's condition with any of them, Nobara didn't even know he had siblings. [17]

Megumi finds comfort in being more open with his friends.

Even when Megumi found out Tsumiki could be in danger, he initially refused to involve Yuji and Nobara. They assured him he didn't have to share everything but asked that he depend on them as his friends. This encouragement helped Megumi admit the truth about Tsumiki's condition and his concerns. Yuji and Nobara dismissed the danger of the mission and told Megumi he should've led with that information. Pleased with his comrades' willingness to help him, Megumi smiled. [18]

Megumi letting go of self-restraint and striving to win.

Megumi, who lacks any sort of competitive edge, can feel insecure about his strength as a sorcerer. He made it a point to tell Yuji he would surpass him after the Goodwill Event. [19] Pressured by Yuji's rapid growth, he even went to Gojo for training when any interaction between them is a hassle for Megumi. Gojo made Megumi realize his mindset was holding him back from bringing out his best. He relied too heavily on a failsafe and only achieved his growth when he decided to be selfish and visualize a stronger future for himself. This aided Megumi in achieving domain expansion for the first time, while he was untethered and smiling like a madman. [20]

"So start by saving me."

Megumi and Yuji have a shared guilt for accidentally incarnating Sukuna. They both accepted responsibility for Sukuna's rampage in Shibuya. While Yuji felt he couldn't return to Jujutsu High, Megumi believed that was a selfish route. He doesn't think anyone can judge jujutsu sorcerers so they must continually prove their existence by saving people. Megumi told Yuji he could start by saving him, a plea for help to rescue Tsumiki from the Culling Game. [21]

Megumi's complete disinterest in becoming head of the Zenin clan.

Megumi feels no loyalty or connection to the Zenin clan, treating Tsumiki as his family. The only member of the Zenin clan Megumi interacts with is Maki, and their relationship is more friendly than familial. Maki wanted Megumi to help her by becoming the head of the clan after Naobito's death but he was completely uninterested. Megumi's reserved personality immediately led him to reject the position, claiming it was too much of a hassle. He isn't very materialistic and social status isn't important to him either, so he couldn't care less about the fortune he'd receive. He told Maki he'd step down so she could lead the clan instead. Even after Maki pointed out several legitimate reasons why Megumi would be a more acceptable head, he continued to stubbornly push back simply because he didn't want to do it. It was only when Megumi realized how important it was to Maki that he accepted. [22]

Megumi's desperation to save his sister.

While Megumi cares about protecting those close to him, that same concern doesn't extend to himself. He feels responsible for Sukuna so he doesn't allow Yuji or anyone else to express concern for him regarding the King of Curses. He and Yuji even argued because Megumi didn't want to hassle their senpai just for his own safety. He told Yuji that line of thinking is selfish and an annoying waste of time. Megumi's desperation to protect others, especially his sister, was on full display when he needed help from Hikari and Kirara. Megumi prostrated himself and begged for help. He even used his status as the head of the Zenin clan to win Hakari over. [23]

Megumi trusting his judgement and maintaining his composure after killing his first human opponent.

Unlike Yuji, Megumi had zero qualms about killing other humans in the Culling Game. Megumi's sole focus was saving his sister and he immediately conflicted with anyone who stood in his way. He even threatened to kill Remi, a weak woman, for leading him into an ambush. When Reggie attempted to recruit Megumi, he felt that Reggie and Remi were wasting his time and they almost instantly came to blows. [24] [25] Megumi always figured Reggie and his group were always using Remi but she never realized it. When it became clear and she begged Megumi to help her, he told Remi that she was the type of trash who cares more about words than deeds. [26] After making his first ever human kill, Megumi remained calmed and trusted in his own judgment. Confident in himself and his allies, Megumi resolved to wave away any difficulties that crossed his path on the way to rescue his sister. [27]
Megumi only put his cynicism and mistrust aside in the Culling Game when Fumihiko Takaba helped him. Fumihiko's eccentric personality reminded Megumi of Todo and he didn't laugh at his jokes, but they were still able to communicate and work together. Despite their clashing personalities, Megumi even felt comfortable asking Takaba to try and steal Hazenoki's points, viewing him as a potential ally for the future. [28] When Sukuna forcibly took possession of Megumi's body and forced him to kill Yorozu (who incarnated into Tsumiki's body ), Megumi's soul had been plunged into despair losing his reason to fight and live. So much so that he could not bring himself to accept help from Yuji when the latter accessed the barrier between his and Sukuna's soul. [29] When speaking to Yuji's soul once more and hearing his friend understand his emotions while admitting that without him he would be lonely, Megumi regained enough will to use a Shadow to hold Sukuna in place for Yuji. [30] It was thanks to these efforts that Megumi grew back the resolve to reject Sukuna's attempts at demoralizing him further, and declared that he would return to living for others sake before the King of Curses was stripped away from his soul. [31]

Mei Mei is a young woman with light peach skin and small, sharp dark brown eyes (dark purple in the anime) with thin eyebrows. She has long blue-tinted silver hair normally styled into two braids, one that covers her face and the other hangs behind her head down past her shoulders. This appears to be her preferred style while working as a sorcerer. While relaxing or casually playing ping pong, she'll let her hair down or style it into a single braid.
As a jujutsu sorcerer, Mei Mei sports a dark bodysuit with a skirt attached. There are also pants underneath that cover her legs and tuck into boots of the same color. (In the anime, Mei Mei's suit is purple and her boots are light brown). In 2006, Mei Mei wore a suit and tie with her hair kept in a high ponytail and two parallel bangs that left her face completely unobscured.

Mei Mei in 2006. Mei Mei's color profile in the manga.

Mei Mei is a very calm and relaxed woman who can keep her cool in any situation. While very kind and honest, Mei Mei is very open about being greedy. Monetary value is the most important thing and quite possibly might be the only important thing to her. She considers herself to always be on the side of money and doesn't get out of bed for free. Allegiances and politics don't matter to Mei Mei as long as she gets paid for being a sorcerer. She also claims to not understand relationships not based on money. [1]

New income making Mei Mei smile.

Mei Mei believes that anyone else's life's value is proportional to how useful they are to her. "Service potential", a concept not supposed to be applicable to humans, is life itself for Mei Mei. She stated to a defeated curse user that she beat him because he was a murderer who took lives but didn't understand their value. In her eyes, Ebina had no service potential, so Mei Mei didn't hesitate to kill him. [2]
Despite her very questionable morals, Mei Mei maintains a relatively friendly demeanor at all times. She is interested in the potential and abilities of her allies, often recognizing their growth and commending them. Mei Mei is one of the people in agreement that Maki Zenin should have been long promoted from grade 4. [3] She also recognized that Yuji was exceptionally strong without an innate technique and compared him to Kusakabe . [4] Mei Mei is fond of Kusakabe, expressing respect for him both as a sorcerer and an individual. As a sorcerer, Mei Mei compares Kusakabe to a swiss army knife superior to herself and all others ranked grade 1. As a person, Mei Mei believes Kusakabe is kindhearted to his core. [5]
Outside of money, Mei Mei cares most for her younger brother Ui Ui. She often praises and rewards him for doing well, whether it be working for herself or others. When the clan head of the New Shadow Style school threatened Ui Ui's future, she took that as a personal front and assassinated them to protect him. [6]

There comes with a light-hearted side to Miguel. The Hasaba sisters felt Miguel was fooling around during the fight and Satoru mentioned that he talks like the MMA comedian Bobby Ologun . [3]
Following their battle, Miguel would reluctantly meet Satoru again. [4] Forced to take on Yuta as his protege, Miguel appears to harbor resentment toward Satoru and has no desire to see him. [5] It's also worth mentioning Yuta and Miguel appear to get along well enough despite the former's role in Suguru's end.

During the Shibuya Incident, Naobito's right arm was lost to Dagon 's shikigami and his entire skin was severely burnt by Jogo 's flames.

Naobito with his gourd. Naobito without his right arm.

Naobito is a tempered and aloof individual to a degree where it conflicts with his image as a clan head. Some question his capabilities as the head mainly due to his consistent drinking. Like the majority of the Zenin members, Naobito was raised on sorcerer traditionalist values thus crafting his personality into that of an arrogant person who dismisses any whose abilities he deems as beneath his, this extends even to his own family ergo his nieces. Naobito naturally clashes with Maki, who opposes him despite having little cursed energy. He threatened to get at Maki through her sister and has used his influence to keep her from being promoted. [3]

Naobito sleeping instead of helping his team rescue civilians in Shibuya.

Additionally, in spite of Satoru Gojo 's importance to the world, Naobito has proudly said he wouldn't mind seeing the fall of his clan. [4] Throughout all the battles, he had an arrogant grin the entire mission while taunting his allies and enemies alike.
Naobito is known to be frequently drunk and will even openly ask for "booze".

[5] Regardless, Naobito didn't take part in the beginning stages of the Shibuya Incident, electing to take a nap rather than fighting transfigured humans with Maki. [6]
The special grade 1 sorcerer appeared to only have an interest in stronger opponents like Dagon . There were several exchanges where Naobito engaged in playful banter with the cursed spirit despite being in the middle of a fight. [7]


Jujutsu Kaisen

Naoya is a relatively tall young man with a fit build. He has sharp brown eyes and dyed blonde hair accented with his dark green roots. He almost always has an arrogant grin plastered across his face and believes himself to have an appearance befitting a clan head, implying he's much better looking than other members like Jinichi. He has three piercings in his left ear, one in his ear lobe, and two more toward the top.
Naoya wears a traditional attire that resembles most of his clan members. He sports a white long-sleeved shirt that buttons the color underneath his dark blue kimono. He completes his outfit with light-colored hakama bottoms and waraji sandals.

Naoya's in the manga (gray).

From a young age, Naoya was always praised and told by others that he was a genius. He was severely spoiled as the youngest and most promising of the Naobito's children. He was conditioned to view himself as his father's successor and as a result, Naoya's arrogance grew to unbridled levels even as a small child. He looked down on all those he views as weaker than him, which is the vast majority of the people Naoya came across.
The only person Naoya ever appeared to have any respect for was Toji . He went to visit him as a child to mock the pitiful man without cursed energy but was instantly able to recognize Toji was extremely strong in spite of that. [2] This led Naoya to embrace the ideology that the sin of the insignificant is the ignorance of true strength. Naoya felt he was one of the only ones who understood Toji and strived to be as exceptional as he was. [3]

Naoya's pompous remarks irritating his fellow clansmen.

Naoya confidently pursued strength to the point where he viewed everyone else as inferior to himself. He refused to acknowledge anyone's talent, referring to his elders, Jinichi and Ogi , as weaklings despite their experience as senior members of the clan. Naoya's reckless and conceited attitude irritates even his fellow clansmen, to the point where Ogi and Jinichi attacked him for being excessively pompous.

Naoya enraged by the revelation that someone else could become head of the clan.

Raised in an environment that breeds superiority, Naoya developed several sociopathic and narcissistic tendencies and strongly embodied all the stigma about the Zenin clan. He has no family values whatsoever other than trying to outdo everyone to become head of the clan. He didn't express any amount of concern for Naobito, his father, on his death bed and has said more than once that he hates all his older brothers as well. Naoya views women only as wives and casually told Maki and Mai's mother that a woman who can't walk three paces behind a man should be stabbed in the back. [4]
Upon learning that Megumi usurped him for the head of the clan, Naoya didn't hesitate to plot a way to kill him. Naoya was well aware that his clansmen might prefer Megumi to himself but didn't care at all for their approval. [5] He had no issues attacking Megumi's allies in an attempt to draw him out and was willing to kill them in order to do so.

Naoya harassing Maki to stroke his own ego.

Naoya set his pride aside momentarily to work alongside Yuta Okkotsu , but only did so to achieve his own self-serving goals. [6] Even after Yuta checked on him after his loss to Choso , Naoya was irritated with the young man for looking down on him. [7]
Dissatisfied with his plans going awry, Naoya took out his irritation with Maki and mocked her repeatedly upon her return to the Zenin clan's property. He called her scum, taunted her for her scars, and devalued her as a person not only for her appearance but her inability to use jujutsu as well. He called her a lapdog for following Yuta and Megumi, and threatened to abuse his own cousin in the same manner that he used to bully her in the past. [8]
Upon learning of the Jinichi and Ogi's refusal to leave Megumi the family fortune, it was confirmed that Naoya was not the clan's first choice. This irritated Naoya, but he was fine with the conspiracy to get rid of Megumi, Maki, and Mai so long as it served him in the end. [9]

" You... are not Toji! "

Mai sacrificed herself in exchange for granting Maki a body with power comparable to Toji's. As Maki massacred her way through the Zenin clan, Naoya didn't show the slightest hint of distress for his family members. In fact, he was amused by Maki's power and simply teased her for being so ruthless. [10]
Naoya refused to acknowledge Maki as being in the same realm of strength as Toji. That is a title that Naoya desired and he fought Maki to deny her that more than he did to avenge his own clan. Up until the moment he was defeated, Naoya remained in denial and referred to Maki as nothing more than an imposter. [11]
Even after being brutally bested by Maki, Naoya mocked her for not finishing him off. Fate's sense of irony came for Naoya in the form of Maki's mother stabbing him in the back, just as he said women deserved. As Naoya was losing his life in such a pitiful manner, all he could do was use his last words to insult his assailant. [12]

Naoya retaining his ego as a vengeful curse hellbent on killing Maki.

Naoya retained his ego and the entirety of his arrogant personality when he became a vengeful cursed spirit after death. [13] Dying in such a way and losing to Maki only fueled Naoya's grudge against her. His lone desire was to kill Maki and prove he was the one to stand beside Toji in terms of strength. [14] [15]

"The one who stands with them is me!!"

Naoya's overconfidence only grew as his power rose. After suffering a near-fatal blow as a cursed womb, Naoya pretended he felt sorry for hurting other cursed spirits only to immediately take it back and evolve into a more powerful state. [16] Once evolved, Naoya claimed that he couldn't remember a time he was weaker than Maki despite openly acknowledging that she once defeated him. [17] [18] Maki wasn't the only one he held a grudge against, Naoya also admitted he hated Blood Manipulation for what Choso did to him and took out those transgressions on Noritoshi. [19] Wholly focused on Maki, Naoya treated Noritoshi and all others as an afterthought. [20] [21] [22]
Naoya also completely disregarded Maki's growth throughout their rematch. [23] The more Naoya failed to kill Maki, the more resentful, desperate, and frustrated he became. His speed couldn't overwhelm Maki after she was enlightened, irritating him to the point where he lashed out in a tantrum. [24] Once cornered by Maki, Naoya continued to refuse that she was the next Toji and went on a tirade claiming the one who stands beside Toji is himself. [25] Naoya regained his composure after expanding to his domain, but this ended up being to his detriment. His overconfidence in his domain led him to underestimate Maki and completely overlook her lack of cursed energy and how his domain would be unable to locate her. Even when Maki struck him from behind, Naoya believed his domain could hold her, directly resulting in his demise. He attempted to call Maki an imposter to once again only to be interrupted by her finishing blow. [26]


Jujutsu Kaisen

Ebina was a muscular man with a face without lips or eyelids. His eyes are blue, with them always wide open, they stuck out. His gums and teeth were always showing as well. He had pale brown hair fashioned into a bowl-cut, which was mostly covered by a green, chameleon-like curse that acts as his headwear. He wears nothing except for a pair of black jeans fastened by a black belt, and brown shoes.

Not much is known about Ebina's personality. It can be assumed he had a questionable moral code, aligning himself with Geto and his plan to seal Satoru Gojo . He was initially excited to take on the task attempting of killing Mei Mei [1] but cowered in fear when she easily defeated him. Mei Mei believes the reason Ebina was defeated is that he doesn't understand the value of life despite being a serial killer. [2]


Jujutsu Kaisen

Nobara is of average height with a slim figure. She has mid-length brown hair that reaches to her neck that is styled with bangs that cover the right side of her forehead. Nobara has orange eyes, long eyelashes and thin eyebrows of the same color. After sustaining a near-fatal injury from Mahito , she now has an eyepatch covering her left eye. [3]
Nobara's jujutsu school uniform consists of a dark blue gakuran-style top (a button-down jacket) and a long matching skirt that reaches to just above her knees. She also sports black stockings and brown shoes along with her signature brown belt that holds her tools for jujutsu.
As someone who enjoys dressing up, Nobara has several different outfits. She didn't have a tracksuit prior to enrolling at Jujutsu High and bought one shortly after. The tracksuit included a white and blue hoodie accented with a flower pattern, black leggings, and white shoes. [4]

Nobara as a child. Nobara in the manga (gray). Nobara's eyepatch.

Nobara is a confident and brash young woman with an unshakable character. More than anything, Nobara is determined to stay true to herself no matter what. [5] She takes great pride in being both a pretty girl and a strong fighter, refusing to let anyone influence her. [6]
Initially, Nobara can appear to be a very obnoxious and arrogant person. She first introduced herself to Yuji and Megumi by expressing how inferior they were and argued with Yuji for the greater part of their first mission together. [7] Despite her abrasive attitude, Nobara is actually an incredibly caring and dutiful person, but would never let most people see that side of her. After fighting alongside each other on several missions, Yuji and Megumi grew to become Nobara's closest allies.

Nobara leaves her village behind but promises to reunite with Fumi and Saori someday.

Even from a young age, Nobara was outspoken and different from everyone else in her small town. [8] She felt everyone was crazy and was determined to trade the small countryside to the big city. Nobara was only ever drawn to outsiders who moved into the village like Fumi and Saori , especially the latter. She looked up to Saori to a great degree and was disheartened when she was forced out of the neighborhood. Saori leaving made Nobara want to escape the village more and aspired to meet Saori again one day. Before attending Jujutsu High, Nobara made a promise to Fumi that the three of them would reunite in Tokyo. [9]
Staying true to who she is, Nobara carries herself confidently as a jujutsu sorcerer. Whenever Yuji and Megumi tend to be decisive, Nobara is willing to take charge even if the boys don't like it. While they're prone to panic in some situations, Nobara is able to remain relatively level-headed regardless of what's happening. Nobara loves joking around in civil situations and is a huge trash talker in combative ones, no matter who it is. Among all her peers, Nobara looks up to Maki Zenin in particular. She loves the way Maki carries herself and admires her strength as someone fighting against the oppression of their own family. [10]

Nobara punishing Yuji for dying and resurrecting without being considerate of her.

Nobara and Yuji are the two class clowns among the first years that typically annoy Megumi to for a laugh any chance they get. Although she likes to pretend that she doesn't like the boys, Nobara was upset after Yuji's death following the Detention Center incident. [11] She even shed a tear upon his revival and demanded an apology from him.
Momo Nishimiya insulted Yuji during the Goodwill Event while trying to justify Mai Zenin 's undesirable attitude, annoying Nobara. Nobara dislikes Mai, which upset Momo and caused her to monologue about the gender-based discrimination in the Zenin Clan . This only served to annoy Nobara, who couldn't care less about any sentiments based in "boys versus girls". Like Saori, Maki is a good person despite the circumstances that surround her while Mai is not. Nobara doesn't believe people are excused just because they come from a difficult background. She openly rejected Momo and told her to consider the kind of person Yuji was before condemning him, citing that life isn't just a job. [12]

" Good. She's plenty crazy. "

Upon first enrolling at Jujutsu High, Satoru Gojo was unsure how a girl from the countryside would fair against gruesome-looking cursed spirits . Satoru believes it takes someone to be virtually insane to voluntarily be a jujutsu sorcerer or else they'll quit quickly. Despite her distaste for crazy people, Nobara has proved she is plenty crazy herself. [13] She passed Satoru's test with flying colors and didn't hesitate to inflict pain on herself during the battle with the Death Paintings , Eso and Kechizu . [14]
In order to counter Eso's cursed technique , Nobara willingly stabbed herself with nails and smiled while doing it. She appeared to take pleasure in outwitting her opponents and didn't hesitate to injure herself further in order to ensure victory and her own survival. Together, she and Yuji were victorious and ended up killing both brothers. Although Yuji was guilt-ridden over killing the brothers, Nobara was relatively unfazed. She admitted that she expected killing came with the job of being a jujutsu sorcerer. Noticing that Yuji was acting strange, Nobara comforted him in her own way by claiming that they were both accomplices in the murder. [15]

Yuji's fond memories of Nobara and their dynamic with Megumi.

Nobara has a high sense of duty as a jujutsu sorcerer and is a prideful fighter. During the Shibuya Incident , Nobara's pride was hurt by her near defeat at the hands of Haruta Shigemo . After being rescued by Kento Nanami , Nobara wanted to help rescue Satoru from being sealed and redeem herself. However, Nanami refused to let her and ordered her to wait to be rescued. [16] Nobara ignored Nanami's warning because she couldn't bring herself to leave the city while all her allies were still fighting. [17]
Upon encountering Mahito's double soon afterward, Nobara admitted she didn't have much to show for October 31st and believed beating him would be a solid contribution. [18] Nobara remained confident in her strategy and managed to injure Mahito's soul, forcing him to retreat. Nobara chased him and attempted to exorcise the curse. This overconfidence ultimately proved to be Nobara's downfall.

" It wasn't so bad! "

Mahito switched places with his double while Nobara's guard was down against his hands, letting him score a direct hit to her face with Idle Transfiguration . [19] Realizing her time was likely at an end, Nobara took a moment to recall her past life in the village. She used to believe that crazy people like those villagers did nothing but step on other people's lives. However, after meeting all the wild and crazy sorcerers at Jujutsu High, Nobara changed her mind. During this exchange, Yuji watches Nobara with extreme worry and horror. In what could have been her last moments, Nobara smiled at Yuji and asked him to tell everyone that it wasn't so bad in the end. [20]
Following her recovery on December 24, Nobara appeared to still be in high spirits after being brought up to speed about the raid against Sukuna , happily taking the opportunity to help defeat the sorcerer with Resonance . Upon seeing Yuji again, the two got up to old habits by attempting to surprise Megumi with the fact she was alive, later making up for lost time with him after. [21]


Jujutsu Kaisen

Nobuaki is a middle-aged man. He has dark-colored hair that is styled into a pompadour with sideburns. His outfit is a formal light-colored costume, seemingly unique to him as captain of the Kukuru Unit.

Nobuaki is a conceited and vain person. As captain of the Kukuru Unit, he is responsible for its actions, which in turn leads to his superiors chewing him out for possible mistakes. For that same reason, Nobuaki is implied to often leave key actions of any given mission for himself, effectively making the rest of the Kukuru do all the hard work, while he takes the credit. [1]
Nobuaki also holds a very low opinion of at least some of his opponents, Maki Zenin in particular. When hearing of her killing Ogi Zenin , Nobuaki simply brushed it off and assumed Ogi was unaware of the attack. [2] This was also shown during his scuffle against Maki, surprised that she could still move and fight after being hit with Chojuro's technique. [3]
