Yuji

appearance

Yuji is a young man of average height and appears to have a slender build when wearing baggy clothing, but actually has a lean and muscular physique. He also has relatively large light brown eyes and spiky pink hair that's styled in an undercut fashion. When Yuji enrolled into Tokyo Jujutsu High, he began wearing his version of the uniform; a black long sleeve shirt resembling a gakuran over a red hoodie, black pants, and red shoes.

personality

Yuji is a fair person who truly cares for not only his comrades but anyone he views as people with their own wills, despite how deep or shallow his connection to them is. He highly commends "the value of life," and to this end, he will ensure that others receive a "proper death". Because of this, he believes that it is morally unethical for him to take another human life, and tries to avoid any possibility of doing so unless as a last resort. He is also not without his more energetic and outgoing traits. Such as his frequent comedic moments where he was seen alongside Nobara gushing about Tokyo and his eagerness to train with Satoru Gojo or even when entertaining both Junpei Yoshino and his mother. Yuji is also highly passionate whenever he's focused on achieving certain goals and being quite stubborn when confronted about them, such as when Masamichi Yaga questioned why Yuji wanted to become a sorcerer. He is also quite naïve due to his inexperience in the world of cursed spirits and jujutsu sorcerers, but is shown to be a quick learner, capable of adapting to his surroundings and picking up how to use cursed energy quickly. Although usually composed, good-natured and friendly, Yuji can be angered quickly in the face of pure malice after witnessing firsthand the cruelty that curses were capable of, particularly Mahito's inhuman exploitation of Junpei. Yuji felt so profoundly disgusted that he felt a genuine desire to kill for the first time in his life and has a very intense yet focused hatred towards the cursed spirit.

Overall abilities

Yuji is one of Tokyo Jujutsu High's most powerful and talented students. Satoru Gojo places him on the same level of potential as Yuta Okkotsu and Kinji Hakari, the three students who he believes will surpass his strength. Despite having no connections to the jujutsu world before a few months prior to the Shibuya Incident, Yuji is able to contend with and defeat grade 1 and special grade curses. Yuji was gifted with superhuman physical abilities which he masterfully combines with his cursed energy. Yuji is also able to contain Sukuna with no ill effects, which allows him to perceive the shape of souls. This enables him to harm Mahito, whose control over the shape of his soul otherwise renders him immune to injury. Poison Resistance: Since Yuji is the host to Sukuna, he has a resistance to all kinds of poison. Yuji will feel the pain from the poison, but he is mostly unaffected. Weapon Mastery: Yuji was not trained in the use of weapons; however, due to his physical power and talent, he can still become proficient with one quickly.

physical abilities

Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Yuji is one of the greatest, if not the greatest practitioner of martial arts in the sorcerer school. Yuji's fighting style is usually depicted as being very acrobatic with his movements, allowing him to strike his opponent in several different angles which also allow him to evade several oncoming attacks, essentially giving him great offensive and defensive capabilities. If the initial strike he is going for has been blocked, he is able to use high flying kicks, unorthodox punches, and even a knee strike to retaliate. Immense Strength: Yuji is quite powerful even without the usage of cursed energy, as he can destroy walls with ease. Immense Speed and Reflexes: Yuji is shown to have great speed and can finish a 50-meter track within 3 seconds, implying he can run at speeds of 60.02 km/h (37.3 mph). Immense Durability: Yuji's durability surpasses the average sorcerer. Immense Stamina: Fitting his other superhuman capabilities, Yuji possesses a large amount of stamina and has often been shown continuing to fight despite grievous injuries for longer periods of time without rest. Proficient Learner: Yuji is a curious person and an earnest student.

Cursed energy

Cursed Energy Capacity: Yuji's cursed energy originates from the parts of the special grade cursed object, Ryomen Sukuna. He doesn't have an innate technique, but he has shown great proficiency with learning how to control cursed energy. Cursed Energy Reinforcement: Yuji primarily uses cursed energy combined with his martial arts skills and superhuman strength to reinforce his strikes, increasing their impact and allowing him to hurt curses. Divergent Fist (逕けい庭てい拳けん, Keitei Ken?): After Yuji lands a punch on a target, his cursed energy flows after the strike and makes a stronger second impact. Black Flash (黒こく閃せん, Kokusen?): A phenomenon that occurs when the user applies cursed energy within 0.000001 seconds of a physical hit, creating a spatial distortion that causes their cursed energy to flash black and amplifies the destructive power of the strike to the power of 2.5.[19] Yuji is capable of performing Black Flash seven times in a row and has used it a total of eighteen times back to back.

cursed techniques

Blood Manipulation (赤せっ血けつ操そう術じゅつ, Sekketsu Sōjutsu?): After absorbing Cursed Womb: Death Painting No. 4-9, Yuji was engraved with Blood Manipulation, the inherited technique of the Kamo Clan. Using this innate technique, Yuji can manipulate his own blood. Convergence (百びゃく斂れん, Byakuren?): An extension technique that compresses and condenses the user's blood to its absolute limit with cursed energy. The blood orb created by this technique is required for using Piercing Blood and Supernova. Due to his inexperience, Yuji is unable to perform Convergence very well. Piercing Blood (穿せん血けつ, Senketsu?): After using Convergence, the user clasps their hands around the blood orb and fires a blood beam that travels at the speed of sound. Yuji used this technique against Sukuna during their fight, damaging his face.[22] Due to being unable to use Convergence, Yuji took a pressurized blood orb created by Choso in order to perform Piercing Blood. Shrine (御み廚づ子し, Mizushi?): After landing a Black Flash against Sukuna, the awakened state brought forth by the phenomenon drew out Sukuna's own cursed technique that was engraved in Yuji, albeit with some differences. Unlike Sukuna, Yuji creates dashed lines with scissors on anything he touches that are subsequently cut along those lines. Dismantle (解カイ, Kai?): A slashing attack that can be used through touch or at range against cursed spirits and sorcerers to great effectiveness. Reverse Cursed Technique (反はん転てん術じゅつ式しき, Hanten Jutsushiki?): Within the month before his battle against Sukuna, Yuji learned how to use reverse cursed technique to heal himself.

cursed techniques

New Shadow Style: Simple Domain (シン・陰かげ流りゅう　簡かん易い領りょう域いき, Shin Kageryū: Kan'i Ryōiki?): An anti-domain technique Yuji learned by switching souls with Atsuya Kusakabe. It is used to disable a domain's guaranteed-hit effect by neutralizing its barrier. Hometown Domain: Due to his replacement training with Kusakabe, Yuji learned the basics of barrier techniques, allowing him to cast domain expansion. Yuji's domain expansion perfectly recreates his hometown, including landmarks familiar to him such as a local statue, a park that he played in, a department store, a farm he visited, etc.. It can even create animals such as crayfish, horses, and geese. The sure-hit effect of this domain attacks Yuji's targets with his soul-rending Dismantle without requiring physical contact.
