About “Jujutsu Kaisen” in a few words:

Jujutsu Kaisen is a popular anime series based on the manga written and illustrated by Gege Akutami. The story follows Yuji Itadori, a high school student who becomes possessed by a powerful cursed spirit known as Sukuna. In order to save his friends and himself, Yuji joins the Jujutsu Sorcerer organization and trains to become a powerful sorcerer. Along the way, he encounters other skilled sorcerers such as Satoru Gojo, Megumi Fushiguro, and Nobara Kugisaki, and battles against various cursed spirits. The series is known for its unique concept of cursed energy and its intense action scenes.

Meet the characters from Jujutsu Kaisen

Yuji Itadori

Okay, Yuji is the pure, loud heartbeat of the whole show — like, he’s so upbeat it’s almost a superpower. Big dumb grin, bigger fists, and somehow he genuinely cares about absolutely everyone even while a demonic king lives in his body (yes, that one). He eats meat like it’s a philosophical stance, cries at funerals, and then makes you laugh an hour later; also he’s weirdly good at video games? He’s heroic and reckless and a little naïve, but when it matters he’ll put everything on the line and somehow make it feel like the right thing to do.

Satoru Gojo

Satoru is that infuriatingly perfect teacher who also happens to be the most OP sorcerer around — blindingly confident, stylish, and annoyingly casual about the fate of the world. He wears the blindfold like it’s couture and then lifts it to ruin your day with eyes that are both beautiful and terrifying, which is peak Gojo. He jokes, streams, slacks off on paperwork, hoards snacks, and then in the same breath will dismantle a curse’s philosophy like a chess grandmaster. Equal parts dad energy and untouchable menace, he’s a walking paradox that you can’t stop grinning at.

Megumi Fushiguro

Megumi is the dour, brooding type who is secretly soft and way more moral than he lets on, the kind who saves stray animals and then acts like it’s inconvenient. Serious, reserved, and a tactical genius with those shikigami — shadow dogs, yeah, but also kind of a mysterious cat person? He’s low-key protective of his friends and thinks a lot about fate and what’s “right,” which makes him intense and quietly terrifying when pushed. He can be moody and distant and then do a small, kind thing that ruins your whole tough exterior theory about him.

Nobara Kugisaki

Nobara is unapologetic, fashion-forward violence — think lipstick, hammer, and a killer one-liner rolled into one tiny tornado. She loves makeup and good coffee and then stabs cursed spirits with a straw; also she’s got a soft spot for her friends that she’ll deny fiercely. Loud, ruthless in battle, and hilariously petty, she’ll roast you and then patch your wounds like it’s no big deal. She’s all about dignity and authenticity, which is code for “don’t talk down to her,” but she’ll also buy the cheapest snacks in the convenience store just to troll someone.

Kiyotaka Ijichi

Ijichi is the overworked, anxiety-adjacent admin who quietly keeps the whole Jujutsu machine from collapsing and yet no one sings his praises enough. Mild-mannered, efficient, and forever juggling paperwork like a saint, he’s the calm to the chaos and possibly the reason anyone gets to sleep. He flubs under pressure sometimes and panics in adorably human ways, but he’ll step up and be brave when his friends need him, which is kind of his whole vibe. He probably eats instant ramen at 2 a.m., color-codes his files, and is low-key the unsung hero.

Mahito

Mahito is that horrifyingly curious villain who smiles like a kid and enjoys turning people into abstract concepts because “experimentation,” which is the creepiest thing ever. Playful and sadistic, he treats human souls like clay and has this unsettling mix of childish glee and cold philosophy. He’ll joke, he’ll sketch, he’ll stare at you like you’re a specimen, and then he’ll absolutely ruin your day — no refunds. There’s a bizarre innocence to his cruelty that makes him more dangerous and way more chilling than a plain monster.

Panda

Panda is exactly what he looks like but also so much more — a talking, walking panda with layers (literally) and surprisingly nuanced feelings. He’s goofy and snack-obsessed but also a tactical powerhouse in a fight and the kind of friend who will lecture you about manners and then throw the first punch. He’s dramatic, oddly philosophical sometimes, and has these little idiosyncrasies—like an obsession with nicknames—that make him feel like a roommate you can’t get rid of. Underneath the fluff is someone loyally protective and surprisingly deep.

Maki Zen’in

Maki is a storm in glasses — furious, relentless, and impossibly strong despite being cursed-energy-challenged, which she hates being reminded of. She trains like she’s trying to carve the moon, hates the Zen’in family politics with personal vendetta-level passion, and is basically a living swordsmanship montage. Loud, blunt, and a total boss in fights, she’s also secretly into plants and sometimes cries quietly at sunsets, which is weird but also very her. She’s pure grit with a soft, accidental heart that shows up at the worst possible times.

Toge Inumaki

Toge speaks in sushi ingredients and vibes, and no seriously, his words are weapons so he uses “salmon” like punctuation. Quiet, weirdly sweet, and low-key intimidating when he unleashes his cursed speech, he’s the stoic friend who will protect you without ever saying it in plain English. He communicates more with his eyes and tiny gestures, and he’s surprisingly playful once you get past the “please don’t talk to me loudly” exterior. Also, he probably has terrible taste in puns and a soft spot for onigiri, which is both precious and terrifying at once.

Ryomen Sukuna

Sukuna is chaos incarnate — arrogant, ancient, and deliciously wicked, like a demonic aristocrat who finds your moral outrage entertaining. He’s regal and grotesque at the same time, loving violence with the same passion he loves mocking your hopes, and he literally enjoys toy-slicing people for fun. Sophisticated one moment, monstrous the next, he has this dark humor and a refined palate (for suffering and cuisine? both maybe), which makes him utterly magnetic. He’s the reason nightmares are stylish, and you’ll never be able to look away.
