Appearance
Toji is a tall and muscular man with sharp, wolfish features that convey his ferocity and confidence. He has dark green hair that is often unkempt, reflecting his rugged and unrefined lifestyle. Toji’s piercing eyes and a large scar running diagonally across his mouth emphasize his hardened, dangerous persona. His casual attire, typically consisting of a loose shirt and pants, reflects his practicality and disregard for formality.
Toji’s imposing physique and intimidating presence make him instantly recognizable as a character who thrives in battle.
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.
Role in the Story
Gojo’s Past Arc
Toji serves as the main antagonist of theGojo’s Past Arc. Hired by the Time Vessel Association, Toji is tasked with eliminating Riko Amanai, the Star Plasma Vessel, who is under the protection of Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto. In their confrontation, Toji successfully defeats Gojo, utilizing his skill and cursed tools to outmaneuver the strongest sorcerer.
Despite his initial success, Toji underestimates Gojo’s ability to recover and is ultimately defeated in their rematch. Before his death, he reveals to Gojo that his son, Megumi Fushiguro, is destined to inherit the powerful Ten Shadows Technique, setting the stage for Megumi’s future involvement in the story.
Shibuya Incident Arc
Toji reappears during the Shibuya Incident Arc when his soul is resurrected by a cursed technique. However, his resurrection results in his instincts and will taking over, allowing him to act as a free agent. During this time, Toji confronts Megumi, recognizing his son and choosing to end his own life rather than harm him, leaving a lasting impact on Megumi’s development.
Relationships
Megumi Fushiguro:Toji’s relationship with his son is complex. While Toji initially shows little involvement in Megumi’s life, he ensures that Megumi is sold to the Zen’in Clan to secure his future. Despite his detached demeanor, Toji expresses a quiet pride in Megumi, particularly during their brief reunion in theShibuya Incident Arc.
Satoru Gojo:Toji and Gojo have one of the most intense rivalries in the series. Toji’s ability to defeat Gojo in their first encounter demonstrates his extraordinary skill, though their second fight ultimately proves fatal for Toji.
