Toji Fushiguro's time in JJK may have been short, but the Zenin clan sorcerer certainly made an impact both in the past and the present. As the father of Megumi, Toji is shown to be a cold and callous individual, with the character operating as an assassin in the business of eliminating jujutsu sorcerers.

Being the only character to best Gojo in battle, Toji catches the supremely talented sorcerer off-guard due to Toji having no cursed energy, enabling him to remain undetected from Gojo's Six Eyes. Toji's key ability is Inventory Curse, which allows him to store various objects within his curse, such as weapons, making the fighter unpredictable in battle.

Mahito is one of JJK's most prominent villains, being one of the few special-grade curses in the world.

Through his excessive amount of cursed energy, Mahito can shapeshift to whatever he desires, as he can use his body in various ways in battle.

Not only does Idle Transfiguration empower Mahito to shapeshift, but he can also create a clone, using the trick to fight both Yuji and Nobara simultaneously. Idle Transfiguration gives Mahito an assortment of skills that operate as offence or defence, with the character being able to either demolish foes or heal damaged wounds in combat.
