Angel’s Commandments (Formerly)

**Benika Kokatsu** (紅佳枯渇, *Kokatsu Benika*) is an ancient jujutsu sorcerer from the Heian Era who was reincarnated into the Culling Game. She was the traveling companion of Sage, an extremely powerful sorcerer. She was once one of The Angel’s Commandments in her previous life.

Benita wears a small pair of blue bracelets.

In her previous life, Benika wore a colorful kimono with a plain white haori. She also wore her blue pair of bracelets.

## Personality

Benika is a very cold and indifferent person who cares little for the events around her. This comes from having grown bored in the life that was forced upon her, with her being chosen to become one of The Angel’s Commandments from the moment of her birth.

While unconcerned with others, she openly voices her disdain of combat, viewing it as barbaric. Despite her cold personality, Benika has showed that she cares about the feelings of others. She has been seen being compassionate and caring to Sage, having been the reason for his escape after he challenged The King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna, where she sacrificed herself to make sure Sage escaped.

In her reincarnated life, Benika has hardly changed in terms of her old personality, with her barely showing emotion. However, after initially find out that Sage was looking for her, she was both angry with him for his selfish challenging of The King of Curses, which ended her first life, but also glad that he hadn't forgotten about her.

## Abilities and Powers

**Overall Skill Level**: Benika is an exceptional fighter even by the standards of incarnated jujutsu sorcerers. As one of The Angel's Commandments, some of the strongest sorcerers of the Heian Era, the golden age of jujutsu, she has over one thousand years of experience and combat prowess, being able to effortlessly use all applications of her cursed technique with ease. She was well respected by her fellow Commandments, and was considered one the strongest of the group.

Due to her distain for violence, Benika had a low point count, with only 45 points during the Culling Game. However, she had effortlessly killed three extremely powerful Culling Game Players, all of whom had over 50 points. Her prowess allowed her to surprise even Sukuna, surpassing The King of Curses in speed, even if it was only for a moment. Benika also has advanced knowledge of jujutsu, being able to near instantly detect a rough understanding of her opponents cursed techniques after only seeing it once.

Because of her innate technique, she prefers to use its passive capabilities, but is just as dangerous while using its more lethal powers.

After the Kenjaku’s deployment of his Modified Cursed Spirit Group, she was able to easily dispatch of the remaining Black Claw Cursed Spirits, saving Sora Sage’s life in the process.
