Abilities

Though Toji possesses no cursed energy, his exceptional physical abilities and resourcefulness make him one of the most dangerous characters in the series:

Heavenly Restriction:Toji was born with a Heavenly Restriction, which completely nullifies his cursed energy but enhances his physical capabilities to superhuman levels. His immense strength, speed, reflexes, and durability allow him to rival the most skilled jujutsu sorcerers.

Mastery of Cursed Tools:Toji compensates for his lack of cursed energy by wielding an arsenal of powerful cursed tools with expert proficiency. His Inverted Spear of Heaven and Chain of a Thousand Miles are particularly notable for their devastating impact in combat.

Immense Skill and Strategy:Toji’s combat skills are second to none, enabling him to take down powerful opponents through sheer physical prowess and tactical ingenuity.

Cursed Spirit Manipulation:Toji carries a cursed spirit imbued with cursed tools, allowing him to deploy weapons strategically in the middle of a fight.

Keen Instincts:Toji’s battle sense and intuition make him incredibly difficult to outmaneuver, even against the likes of Satoru Gojo.

Personality

Toji is a pragmatic and ruthless individual who harbors deep resentment toward the Zen’in Clan for their oppressive traditions and rigid hierarchy. This bitterness drives him to sever ties with the clan and forge his own path as a freelance assassin, valuing personal freedom above all else.
Toji is confident, calculating, and fearless, often taking on seemingly impossible tasks with unwavering resolve. His disregard for jujutsu society and its conventions leads him to clash with powerful figures like Satoru Gojo. Despite his cold and detached demeanor, Toji shows a softer side when it comes to his son, Megumi, whose future he ensures before his death.

Background

Toji was born into the Zen’in Clan but was ostracized due to his Heavenly Restriction, which left him with no cursed energy. His lack of a conventional sorcerer’s abilities made him a pariah in the clan, fostering his disdain for the Zen’in family and their rigid structure. Rejecting their expectations, Toji took on the name Fushiguro after leaving the clan, symbolizing his break from their legacy.
As the Sorcerer Killer, Toji became a notorious assassin, working for organizations such as the Time Vessel Association and taking on high-profile targets. His reputation as a deadly and efficient killer brought him into conflict with some of the most powerful sorcerers of the era.
