Appearance

("He has thin black eyes and bangs that occasionally cover the left eye. His earlobes are large enough to fit fairly large circular earrings. In 2006, Suguru's hair was much shorter as a student, most of it tied up but his bangs were still as prominent. As a student, Suguru wore a normal jujutsu high uniform.")

Personality

("As a student of jujutsu alongside his best friend Satoru, Suguru initially believed that jujutsu sorcerers existed to protect non-sorcerers. Satoru argued Suguru shouldn't be proud of himself for being righteous and applying reasoning to jujutsu was stupid. Their clash in ideology caused them to argue and clash heads as young men. Suguru was a much more kind and proper young man back then, especially compared to Satoru. He understood the importance of manners and carrying himself with dignity as a jujutsu sorcerer. Satoru had far too rude of an attitude in his opinion. Despite disagreeing from time to time, Suguru and Satoru were still best friends. They encouraged each other to be the strongest and were confident they could accomplish anything as long as they had each other. However, following Riko Amanai's death, things began to change. The followers of the Star Religious Group applauded her death, a deplorable action that stayed with Suguru. He decided not to kill them because there needs to be a reason for jujutsu sorcerers to kill. Suguru attempted to maintain his ideology but his path became more and more unclear as time went on. Satoru became the strongest alone and Suguru started going off on more dangerous missions alone. He felt caught in an endless cycle of exorcism and consumption. Eventually, he began questioning for whom he was doing these grotesque things for and remembered the non-sorcerers from the Star Religious Group. He saw a hideous evil that day and still chose to protect them, an action he grows to regret, calling them "monkeys" for the first time as he looks back on the memory. Yuki Tsukumo educated Suguru during a conversation with the information that non-sorcerers are the main reason curses are born. Cursed energy flows far more freely out of them compared to normal sorcerers. Yuki either wanted to eradicate cursed energy from all of humanity or teach everyone how to control it.

Personality

This made Suguru come up with a third solution: killing all non-sorcerers. When Yuki asked Suguru if he hated non-sorcerers, he wasn't able to answer. He replied that he used to think protecting non-sorcerers was right but began doubting if they're worth fighting for. Unable to tell the difference between the preciousness and ugliness of the weak, Suguru compared being a jujutsu sorcerer to running a marathon where the finish line is much too unclear. She advised him to choose between the side of him that's devoted to being a jujutsu sorcerer and the other side that looks down on non-sorcerers. After losing young Yu Haibara, Suguru's enthusiastic junior, the unsure young sorcerer revised the idea that being a jujutsu sorcerer is like running a marathon where the end of the road is just a mountain made of his fellow sorcerers' corpses.")

Abilities-And-Powers

("Overall Skill Level: Suguru Geto was one of just four special grade sorcerers and was deemed the worst of all curse users due to the level of danger he presented to humanity. As a student, Suguru and Satoru were both considered "the strongest". Suguru was capable of making short work of experienced curse users on multiple occasions with little effort. His collection of cursed spirits was wide with a high variety of different abilities and roles in battle. Suguru was not overly dependent on his curses and was a highly capable close-quarters fighter as well."+"Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Most of Suguru's opponents assume he would fight like a shikigami user and allow his cursed spirits to attack for him. Suguru uses this misconception about his technique to his advantage, letting him surprise opponents with expert martial arts skills in hand-to-hand combat. Suguru allowed an armed curse user to get close so he could pummel them with a mix of punches, palm strikes, and hard chops capable of knocking out teeth and leaving his opponents in a bloody heap."+"Great Tactical Intellect: Suguru Geto was always a brilliant student at Jujutsu High. While Satoru would forget key points about Master Tengen and other detailed aspects of their missions, Suguru would be the one to remember and explain things to him. His intellect translated well to battle, always able to think a step ahead of his opponent. An older and more experienced curse user attempted to outmaneuver the curse manipulator into getting closer, only to fall into Suguru's trap. In his fight with Toji Fushiguro, Suguru managed to surprise the Sorcerer Killer for just a moment. He moved behind Toji knowing his confidence would keep his guard down and nearly absorbed the inventory curse as a means to cut off Toji's weapons supply. However, this ultimately backfired due to circumstances Suguru could not have foreseen, leaving him open to getting exploited at close range.")

Jujutsu

("Immense Cursed Energy: Suguru is famous for being able to manipulate thousands of curses at the same time with high reserves of cursed energy. He has a high understanding of how cursed energy and techniques generally work. Suguru is capable of manipulating it to hide his residuals or imbuing energy it into weapons among other applications. He's also able to read the flow of cursed energy of other sorcerers without any difficulty.")

Innate Technique

("Cursed Spirit Manipulation (呪じ霊操術じ Jurei Sōjutsu?): As the name implies, Suguru's technique allows him to control vagabond cursed spirits. Dominated curses are absorbed into small black orbs that Suguru must ingest orally in order to use. If the difference in grade is more than two levels, Suguru can absorb a curse with no consequences. He's also able to absorb other sorcerer's curses as long as he kills the master first."+"Maximum: Uzumaki (極ごの番ば「うずまき」 Gokunoban・Uzumaki?): The maximum technique of Cursed Spirit Manipulation combines a massive number of collected curses into one powerful attack. "+"Curtain (帳とばり Tobari?): A type of barrier that is cast over a large area to hide everything within it from the outside world. Suguru can cast curtains capable of trapping sorcerers inside of it and can do so over another weaker sorcerer's barrier as well.")
