Haoyu Seiryu

Xu Jing (Mother)

**Haoyu Seiryu** (青龍豪勇 (), *Seiryū Hàoyǔ*?) is a special grade jujutsu sorcerer, renowed by his almost unpenatrable defense, a thing that earned him the moniker of **The Absolute Shield** (絶対の盾 (), *Zettai no tate*?). He teaches Noritoshi Kamo,  Momo Nishimiya, and Aoi Todo, as the the third-year's instructor at Kyoto Jujutsu High. Back in the day, he studied alongside Yoshinobu Gakuganji, which is why they are great friends despite their different ideological visions of how the Jujutsu Society should be. Currently, Haoyu is the 26th head of the prestigious Seiryu Clan and the Grandmaster of a dojo that instructs a style of kung-fu developed entirely by himself.

## Appearance

Haoyu is a very tall man with fair skin. In a profession where life expectancy is not very high, his advanced age is indicative of his strength and competence as a jujutsu sorcerer. As such, he has grown into an elderly man with short white hair combed back, deep wrinkles, hooked nose, and pronounced cheekbones. He has brown eyes, long eyebrows, long mustache, and a hip-length white beard. If one may think that, due to his age, Haoyu does not have a built body, it could not be more wrong. He in fact has a very muscular and well-defined build, which he only reveals when serious about battle. While working, Haoyu wears a long-sleeved piece pulled by a pair of brown leather war wristbands worn on each arm, along with a cape that also covers his shoulders. He wears matching dark brown baggy pants and black and orange kung fu shoes. On his days off, he likes to wear a traditional Chinese Hanfu adorned with the emblem of his clan on the back and engraved with various floral patterns.

## Personality

Haoyu is energetic, playful to the point of being mischievous, and, at times, seemingly absentminded. Although he is capable of acting professionally when assigned to do a mission he considers worthy of his time, on all other occasions, he has proved himself to be so extravagant he is sometimes called insane. However, he is a true martial artist who is nothing but earnest during fights. He enjoys challenges and is always thrilled by the prospect of a formidable enemy. This strange passion affects the way in which he tutors his students, both in Kyoto Jujutsu High and in his dojo, frequently testing their physical limits in order to make them surpass themselves. Utahime Iori even called Haoyu a "twisted individual," as he often enjoyed giving the third year's impossible assignments, sometimes with deadlines of only a few days, that should take months to complete.

Due to his enormous experience both in combat and in life itself, he qualifies to be an excellent teacher. Many younger sorcerers come to him for advice, although given his extravagant personality, he considers funny to answer with complex riddles that most of the time do not have a real meaning, and Haoyu will only respond honestly to people he considers promising.

He has dedicated his life to the martial arts and jujutsu. He displays a great deal of pride in his own abilities and has no respect for the weak. However, he is not arrogant and has never been impassive in the face of injustices of any kind. Because of this, it has led him to challenge the higher-ups decisions on multiple occasions, showing himself especially outraged by the barbaric customs of the Zenin Clan. If Mai Zenin had not expressly asked him to, Haoyu would not have hesitated to kill Naobito Zenin long ago, since he considers him no more than a useless drunkard who is worse than scum, also responsible for the mistreatment of Mai, Maki and, back in the day, Toji.

### Jujutsu

**Immense Cursed Energy**: As one would expect from his special grade status, Haoyu has a huge stash of cursed energy at his disposal, holding far more cursed energy than a grade 1 jujutsu sorcerer, matching even that of Yuta Okkotsu. He is exceptionally proficient at manipulating his cursed energy, as he has shown himself capable of effortlessly switching between his innate technique and Domain Amplification

.

**Shockwave Blast**: After reinforcing his fists with cursed energy, he punches with such force that a shockwave along with pressurized air is launched in the form of a ciclindric cannon, causing devastating damage to the opponent. This alone was capable of tunneling a massive and deep hole in the ground, making Haoyu not even have to use his cursed technique in order to defeat most opponents.

**Black Flash** (黒閃 *Kokusen*): A technique that creates spatial distortion when a user connects with an impact of cursed energy within 0.000001 seconds of a physical hit. The phenomenon causes cursed power to flash black, creating a more potent attack to the power of 2.5 of a normal hit.

**Jade Shifter Technique** (玉土変法 (), *Jeidoshifutātekunikku*?): Haoyu's innate technique grants him the ability to manipulate earth and rock in any and all their various forms, shaping it into the form he wishes and also control it telepathically. He infuses the rock and earth he uses in combat with his own cursed energy, making it far more durable than any metal.. Also, Haoyu can alter its properties, such as by heating the stone to the point of transforming it into lava or liquifying it without the use of heat into a state similar to quicksand. Satoru Gojo stated that, despite being a seemingly simple technique, his use of it is remarkably impressive.

**Maximum Cursed Energy Output: Flowing Mountain Shattered Fang** (出力最大 (しゅつりょくさいだい)流山砕牙 () , *Shutsuryoku Saidai・Ryūzan Saiga*?): A highly amplified version of Jade Shifter Technique unleashed when its been charged to its full power in order to achieve maximum cursed energy output.Shaping the landscape into towering cliffs and mountains before triggering a massive landslide. The controlled chaos of falling rocks and debris can be directed towards opponents, overwhelming them with a relentless wave of destruction that is capable of level entire city blocks with ease.

**Counterflow Rock Armor** (逆流岩甲 (), *Gyakuryū Gankō*?): Haoyu covers all or parts of his body in a layer of stone and reinforces it with cursed energy, causing it to become noticeably darker, all while increasing their defensive power to become as hard as diamond, earning him the moniker of "The Absolute Shield". As such, this makes him virtually invulnerable to all forms of physical damage, and at the same time, it increases the power of his blows significantly, making this a great all-purpose technique that he tends to activate as soon as he enters combat.

**Fusion Blaze Shuriken** (火焔手裏剣の融化 (), *Kaen Shuriken no Tōka*?): He increases the temperature of the ground in front of him, creating a pool of lava, then shapes such lava into shuriken-like projectiles. These vary in size depending on the amount of lava that Haoyu uses to create it and can be launched at dizzying speeds, cutting and melting everything in their path, or as dangerous weapons for hand-to-hand combat.

**Earthforge Wyrmstorm** (地操龍・激霖 (), *Chisōryū Gekirin*?): Haoyu seizes command of the earth, fashioning a dragon of massive proportions using the sturdiest minerals found within the earth. Its rock-like body can vary in size from that of an african elephant to that of a whole mountain, depending on the cursed energy used to conjure it. Regardless, its massive rocky body allows it to deal heavy damage to any and everything unfortunate enough to be struck by it. The Dragon is able to crush most anything it coils around. Aside from dealing blunt force damage with its body, Haoyu forming a hand sign causes a storm of dust, debris and rubble to be expelled from its massive maw.

**Cursed Technique Reversal: Verdant Harmony Resurgence** (術 (じゅつ)式 (しき)反 (はん)転 (てん)「生力回帰の花 (), *Jutsushiki Hanten・Seiryoku Kaiki no Hana*?): Channeling positive energy directly into the earth, Haoyu creates a vivid area around him where plant life flourishes. This not only heals wounds but also revitalizes the surroundings, restoring them to a state of natural balance while also bringing a boost to his physical capabilities. Being imbued with positive energy, the ground becomes extremely dangerous for cursed spirits, destroying their bodies if they remain there for too long.

**Maximum: Abyssal Spire Surge** (極 (ごく)ノ (の)番 (ばん)「星 (ほし)重霖巧妙の (暗黒増発)」, *Gokunoban・Jūrin Kōshi no Ankoku Keihatsu*?): After a near-death experience, Haoyu was able to tap into the very core of cursed energy, maximizing his connection with the Earth's core and nature itself to an unparalleled amount. As a result, he is able to imbue the earth he controls with immense amounts of cursed energy, creating spikes that erode flesh and cursed techniques alike, resulting in a guaranteed kill if the opponent fails to dodge.

**Earthbound** (地球に縛 (られた), *Chikyū ni shibarareta*?): A Binding Vow Haoyu has opposed onto himself based on the great connection with the Earth that requires his cursed technique and his way of thinking. When his feet or any other parts of his body are in direct contact with the ground, Haoyu's cursed energy output and the strength of his techniques are boosted up to 150%; in exchange, he is unable to use his cursed technique at all when not in direct contact with it.

**Curtain** (帳 (とばり), *Tobari*?) : Haoyu can create a barrier that surrounds a certain area. The barrier is capable of sealing the area off from other people or a specific person wanting to get in.

**Domain Amplification** (領 (りょう)域 (いき)展 (てん)延 (えん),  *Ryōiki Ten'en*?): Haoyu expands his domain thinly over his entire body like a cloak. While domain amplification is active, he can neutralize the sure-hit effects of any domain expansion. The technique will also neutralize the cursed technique of anyone touched by Haoyu.

**Sacred Terrain of the Earth God Ascendance** (地神興臨の境遊 (の境遊), *Chijin Kōrin no Kyōyū*?): Haoyu Domain creates a landscape filled with lush, dense forests, peaceful ponds, towering mountains and waterfalls. The air is filled with the essence of the Earth and the ground itself vibrates with vibrant energy. Within it, he has absolute control over the earth, allowing him to shape and manipulate it with unparalleled precision. Mountains rose, valleys formed, and the landscape transformed at Haoyu's wish. All of his techniques, making them stronger and more flexible, are greatly amplified. The Jade Shifter technique reached its peak, allowing the instant creation of giant golems, devastating earthquakes, and complex structures on earth with little effort. The earth itself becomes an extension of his body, allowing him to sense and manipulate the smallest particles in the environment, giving him a near-omniscient awareness of his surroundings. Additionally, the entire terrain acts as a defense mechanism, moving automatically to protect him from any enemy attacks. And finally, any attack or technique he uses within the domain is guaranteed to hit the target.
