Chiharu Mugenno

**Chiharu Mugenno** (千春 無限の *Mugenno Chiharu*) is an antagonist in both the Jujutsu Kaisen: The Star, The Blight, and The Rose Series and its prequel Jujutsu Kaisen 0: Jujutsu High. He was originally a student of Masamichi Yaga's alongside Satoru Gojo, Suguru Geto, and Shoko Ieiri at Tokyo Jujutsu High. His experiences as a jujutsu sorcerer bred a deep hatred for Jujutsu society, which he promised to upend, leaving the school and becoming a curse user after causing a massive hurricane to ruin the Japanese Coast, killing thousands. He was labeled as the worst of all curse users, alongside Suguru Geto.

## Appearance

Chiharu is tall with fair skin, thin, rectangular gray eyes, and white pupils. He also has off-white hair just past his shoulders, worn and swept away from his face. Chiharu’s most defining feature is the large black mask covering him from his chest to just above his nose, four extra pieces winding around his face and head. Four darker plates cover each side of his neck, lined with dark purple, and he has what appears to be something similar to the flat muzzle of a gas mask over his mouth that’s decorated with seven gray studs, as well as a giant purple and black cylinder protruding from each of his shoulder blades. Below this, he wore a full-body suit of a similar design, with plates of black covering his entire body, leaving only his fingers exposed, and, over this, a blazer and dress pants of a pale lilac color. He also wore black boots.

As a student, Chiharu wore a custom jujutsu sorcerer uniform with black shoes, pants, and a tattered white jacket over an unbuttoned uniform with a white shirt.

## Personality

Chiharu has a complicated personality. As a student, Chiharu was lighthearted, constantly joking with his classmates, but always serious on missions. During the escorting of Riko Amanai, Chiharu was entirely on edge, only relaxing during the one day break the group had in Okinawa. After being confronted by Toji Fushiguro, Chiharu had no counter to his opponents capabilities, being the first one to be defeated among the three “strongest” of the time. After this defeat, and the death of Riko, Chiharu became more reserved, throwing himself into his training and becoming more distant from his classmates. After Geto’s expulsion and becoming branded a curse user, Chiharu blamed Satoru and Shoko directly, including himself, before lashing out at a Jujutsu society higher-up, leading to his own suspension. As a result, Chiharu gave up on jujutsu society, believing it to be too far gone, and on September 1st, 2007, Chiharu caused a massive hurricane to devastate the entire coast of Japan, killing over 4,000 people, causing his expulsion and labeling of a curse user.

As a curse user, Chiharu had become far more apathetic and cold, paying little heed to his underlings and maintaining a calmer and collected manner. Chiharu was a frigid person, unfazed by most situations. He did not attack anyone unless provoked and used his technique to ward attacks. If pushed enough, however, he was prone to violent fits of rage. Despite his overwhelming strength, Chiharu was humble and greatly valued those who demonstrated impressive capabilities by his standards, be they allies or enemies. At the same time, though, he was willing to eliminate those who posed a greater risk of standing in his way. During the Shibuya Incident and Culling Game, Chiharu only cooperated with Kenjaku, despite knowing he wasn’t Geto, purely because of the effect these plans would have on the jujutsu sorcerers.

Chiharu centers his relationships around what they can provide for him, such as when he adopted a talented young girl, Ikidori Yosoyososhi, only to use her to gauge the skills of Nozomi Bugendai, whom he intended to kill to prevent Tengen from ever merging. When Ikidori failed to defeat the Star Plasma Vessel, he had her killed without a second thought.

## Powers and Abilities

**Overall Skills and Abilities**: As a special grade sorcerer identified by Jujutsu High, Chiharu was considered one of “the strongest” during his time at Tokyo Jujutsu High, alongside Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto. Chiharu is one of only a few special grade sorcerers, and was deemed the worst of all curse users due to the level of danger he presented to humanity.

As a student, Chiharu, along with Suguru and Satoru, was considered "the strongest". Chiharu was capable of making short work of experienced curse users on multiple occasions with little effort, and could use his cursed technique with expert precision. Chiharu was not overly dependent on his techniques overwhelming power and was a highly capable close-quarters fighter as well.

As a curse user, Chiharu had begun his career as one by killing thousands in a single day, ruining the Japanese coasts with a gigantic hurricane. Over the decade, Chiharu became a bigger threat to humanity than any curse at the time, surpassing even his classmate and fellow curse user, Suguru Geto.

**Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant**: Due to the nature of his cursed technique, most opponents assume that Chiharu would rather fight from a distance. Chiharu uses this misconception about his technique to his advantage, letting him surprise opponents with expert martial arts skills in hand-to-hand combat.
