Hiromi Higuruma

==Summary==
 is a character in the Jujutsu Kaisen series. He was a defense attorney who often took on impossibly difficult cases in order to protect the wrongfully accused. Having since given up on the justice system completely, Hiromi participated in the Culling Game as one of the top players. He initially serves as an antagonist of the Culling Game Arc before battling Yuji Itadori and choosing to cooperate after he reminded him of his roots. He used his one hundred to add a rule to the Culling Game allowing the transfer of points between players as per Yuji's request and departed, planning to turn himself in for the murder of the judge and prosecutor at his last trial once the Culling Game's barriers were lifted.
He later returns to aid in the plan to take out Ryomen Sukuna in Shinjuku and rescue Megumi Fushiguro.

*Domain Expansion (Type 1 minus Homing Attack; Deadly Sentencing is a Non-Lethal Domain that embeds the rules of Higuruma's Cursed Technique into its barrier. It has the appearance of a court and functions as such with Higuruma acting as the prosecuter, outlining the procedings, whilst his opponent is the defendant) which grants:
**Retrocognition & Clairvoyance (Judgeman knows everything about everyone inside the Domain, this information is not shared with Higuruma, and uses this knowledge to put Higuruma's opponent on trial for a crime they have committed in the past)
**Limited Creation (Judgeman submits a piece of evidence of the crime to Higuruma which materializes in an envelope)
**Limited Law Manipulation & Limited Teleportation (The Domain forbids violence, preventing attacks from landing and teleporting those who try attacking back to their original spot)
**Sealing (A guilty verdict results in the penalty of confiscation which makes the defendant's Cursed Technique temporarily unusable, if they don't have a technique then their Cursed Energy will be confiscated instead. If the defendant was carrying a Cursed Tool when they were convicted then that will be confiscated above all elseJujutsu Kaisen, Chapter 245)
**Weapon Creation & Death Manipulation (Getting the death penalty allows Higuruma to turn his gavel into the Executioner's SwordJujutsu Kaisen, Chapter 166 which will kill the one sentenced to death without exception if it cuts them. This ability can distinguish between souls inhabiting the same bodyJujutsu Kaisen, Chapter 246)

*Gavel: A Cursed Tool connected to Higuruma's Cursed Technique. He can manipulate its size and shape, allowing him to emulate different tools such as a hammer, mallet, staff and a hook. Furthermore, he can freely summon it into either of his hands and desummon it which makes it a versatile weapon with the numerous applications arising from these abilities.
**: When Judgeman gives someone the death penalty, Higuruma's gavel transforms into a sword that will kill the one sentenced to death without exception if it cuts them.
Intelligence: Genius (Often took seemingly impossible cases as a defense lawyer and was even able to get an innocent verdict on one such case, despite Japan's criminal justice system heavily favoring prosecutors, which only became a guilty verdict in an appeal hearing due to the system's corruption.Jujutsu Kaisen, Chapter 159 Easily passed the entrance exam into law school and the old national bar exam - considering it a simple matter of applying the necessary effort - which caused him to be considered a genius by his peers; his talent as a sorcerer stands out even from that. Reached the level of a Grade 1 Sorcerer in twelve days by instinctively grasping reinforcement techniques derived from Cursed Energy Control after working backward from his basic understanding of Barrier Techniques that he gained by analyzing his Cursed Technique. During his battle with Sukuna, less than two months after becoming a sorcerer, he learned how to use Domain Amplification from having a sense of how it worked while also ensuring his Cursed Technique was paused rather than nullified, a feat that demonstrated his talent to be equal to Gojo's and caused Sukuna to acknowledge that Higuruma wielded his technique almost as effectively as him.Jujutsu Kaisen, Chapter 225 Learned how to use Reverse Cursed Technique on the spot, a complex technique that Gojo only managed to grasp when he was on the verge of deathJujutsu Kaisen, Chapter 74)
Weaknesses: Higuruma cannot decide what crime Judgeman charges his opponent with, affecting the level of punishment the opponent can receive. Confiscation might only apply to one Cursed Technique against a target that possesses multiple techniques with Higuruma not being able to choose what does get confiscated. The sure-kill effect of the Executioner's Sword does not apply to detached body parts of the convicted, meaning the convicted can cut off their own limb before it is hit by the sword to avoid instant death. Judgeman cannot refuse a request for a retrial from the convicted if the guilty verdict was not the result of an open confession.
