description.

Hajime Kashimo (鹿紫雲かしも一始, Kashimo Hajime?), known as The God of Lightning (レインレインズ神じん, Raijin).

appearance.

Hajime has a much younger appearance as a Culling Game player. He retains the lightning-shaped lines connected to the bottom of his eyelids and his disheveled hairstyle is mostly the same but with bangs in the front. Hajime wears simple, white clothing including a large robe with a scrunched collar around the neck area. The sleeves of his robe are slightly rolled up to reveal Hajime's bandage-wrapped forearms. Hajime also wears matching pants and shoes of the same color as well. Kashimo has turquoise shoulder-length hair, with a V-shaped fringe and two buns at the back. He has bright turquoise eyes with purple zig-zag lightning underneath them.

personality.

Hajime is the perfect example of a jujutsu sorcerer from the past who lives for fighting strong opponents. Towards the end of his life, after presumably spending the majority of it fighting sorcerers, Hajime was ultimately bored and unsatisfied with the battles he fought. He values life very differently from people of the modern-day and only agreed to Kenjaku's terms in order to fight Sukuna, the most powerful potential opponent. The incarnated sorcerer quickly became bored with the Culling Game even after slaughtering over forty players. His focus became exclusively on searching out Sukuna[1] which eventually led him to cross paths with Panda and Kinji Hakari. He found Panda to be below average but Hakari provided Hajime with a real challenge, which he found very interesting due to the unique nature of his abilities.[6] Rather than take the easy route of outlasting Hakari's jackpot, Hajime desired to kill him while he was unkillable for the most satisfying win possible. To Hajime, anything less is how a loser thinks.[7] Even when a fight isn't going his way or his life is in mortal danger, Hajime relishes the challenge. When Hakari attempted to drop Hajime into the sea, he kept a smirk on his face and admitted it was a good idea despite knowing he would be put at a heavy disadvantage.[8] Hajime respected Hakari because he provided him with a stimulating battle, even admitting that the fight was fun, a compliment he hadn't bestowed on any opponent in the Culling Game. In the aftermath of their death match, Hajime told Hakari to kill him since he was the loser. Despite this, they were able to hold a cordial conversation and Hajime even agreed to join forces with Hakari in exchange for getting to challenge Sukuna. However, Hajime was fairly annoyed and confused when he learned Hakari was "Sukuna's senpai"

abilities and powers.

Overall Skill Level: Hajime Kashimo is one of the strongest sorcerers Kenjaku came across 400 years ago. Although Kenjaku considered him inferior to Sukuna, he respected Hajime's strength and invited him to enter a binding vow to participate in the Culling Game. Even as an elderly man, Hajime could decimate entire battlefields and leave numerous dismembered corpses in his wake.[13] Returned to a youthful body with a second chance at the prime of his life, Hajime quickly dominated the Culling Game and became the first player to add a new rule. Hajime effortlessly eliminated at least forty other players in only twelve days and gained notoriety throughout the Tokyo colonies. Hajime considered all those he eliminated to be far too weak, even more so than those from 400 years ago. Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Hajime is an exceptional fighter on all accounts and this is exemplified by his mastery of martial arts. Rather than depend on his cursed technique, Hajime prefers close combat and overwhelms his opponent with flurries of strikes supplemented by electrified cursed energy. Even while armed with his pole, Hajime openly engaged in unarmed striking and pummeled Panda with a barrage of punches

intelligence.

Great Tactical Intellect: Hajime's clever decision-making and use of his strengths display his wealth of experience and high battle IQ. He quickly assesses his opponent's capabilities and uses his own to create a clear path to victory. Hajime took a single hit from Panda's Unblockable Drumming Beat and could tell it dealt internal damage. He dealt with Panda's unblockable attack by using superior speed and fighting technique to effortlessly outmaneuver and overpower Gorilla Mode. Hajime severed Panda's arm and used it as a feint to get his opponent to turn around and leave himself open. Against Hakari's unique power set, Hajime understood the potential of his opponent's power without knowing the full details of his cursed technique. After their first hand-to-hand combat exchange, Hajime realized that Hakari's massive cursed energy output could resist his electrified cursed energy.[25] After learning how Hakari's domain and unkillable mode work, Hajime knew that he could win the fight simply by outlasting Hakari's bonus round and killing him in his base state. Hajime's lust for a challenge led him to do the opposite, but he did form a definitive plan to defeat Hakari

cursed energy.

Cursed Energy Trait: Hajime's cursed energy has the properties of an electric current, putting his body in a constant state of electrification. This makes Hajime's cursed energy-reinforced physical attacks impossible to defend against, as his hits shock the opponent upon impact.[30] It also provides Hajime with a natural resistance to electricity, displayed when he nullified a direct attack from Kamutoke.[31] However, Hajime also has a natural weakness to water. If he's completely submerged, releasing his cursed energy will cause it to be drawn out by the water until it's completely depleted. Cursed Energy Manipulation: Hajime has such a high degree of skill in manipulating his cursed energy that he was the strongest sorcerer of his era and became one of the strongest players in the Culling Game without needing to activate his innate technique.[32] Due to Hajime's advanced manipulation skills, he can somewhat suppress the leakage of his electrified cursed energy even while underwater.[33] Lightning Discharge: Manipulating the characteristics of his cursed energy allows Hajime to freely separate its electric charges. By applying the positive charge to his target immediately, Hajime can discharge the negative charge without losing any electricity to the ground. This results in a powerful lightning strike that rends the air and is guaranteed to hit without the need for domain expansion.[34] After discharging this attack, Kashimo needs time to recharge before he can fire it again.

cursed technique.

Mythical Beast Amber (幻ゲンジャケツ 黄こﾊく, Genjū Kohaku?): Hajime's innate technique reconstructs flesh in order to manifest phenomena of electricity, which he converts from cursed energy.[36] Kashimo's body far surpasses the realm of humans when using his technique, so it can only be used once before his flesh collapses.

equipment.

Nyoi Staff: Hajime wields a staff in a battle that can function as a lightning rod for accumulating his charges. It's capable of conducting the electrical properties of Hajime's cursed energy, making it a suitable weapon for the sorcerer to use in close combat. Hajime generally uses polearm attacks in combination with normal taijutsu. While his attacks are normally delivered with finesse, Hajime has used the staff to crudely snap an arm as well

universe.

despair, regret, shame - these human emotions give birth to evil creatures that cause the death of other people by killing them. these creatures are called curses or cursed spirits. ordinary people almost never see curses, they can only notice them before death. curses can be seen by sorcerers and the curses themselves. and the only ones who can resist curses are sorcerers. the power of a sorcerer depends on his grade, starting from the lowest - fourth, third, semi-second, second, semi-first, first and special. there are only a few magicians of a special grade - this requires enormous power. all sorcerers have cursed energy and innate cursed technique.
