Kechizu

* Anime
* Manga

**Kechizu** (血 (け) 塗 (ちず) , *Kechizu*?) is an antagonist in the *Jujutsu Kaisen* series. He is a Cursed Womb: Death Painting and the youngest brother of Choso and Eso. He and Eso serve as the primary antagonists of the Death Painting Arc.

## Appearance

Kechizu appears much more like a curse than his more humanoid brothers. He is turquoise with a hunchback, claws, and two mouths with jagged teeth. He has a small face on the upper part of his head and a giant mouth just beneath it. Kechizu's eyes as well as both his mouth have his dark blood dripping from it. The upper face is just a leftover remnant from the vessel since Kechizu's power as a cursed object is weaker than his older brothers.

## Personality

Kechizu is the least mature of the three Death Painting Womb brothers and seeks only to follow the orders of his kind. He elects to stay close to Eso whenever possible and calls out for his help whenever Kechizu finds himself in danger.

## Synopsis

### History

Kechizu is one of nine death painting wombs that came from a woman capable of giving birth to cursed spirit children. At some point, Kechizu and his brothers were stored at Jujutsu High along with some of Sukuna's fingers.

### Kyoto Goodwill Event Arc

Kechizu and his brothers, along with Sukuna's fingers, were taken from Jujutsu High by Mahito.

### Death Painting Arc

Kechizu and his brothers are given bodies by Mahito, which Kechizu and his brothers decided to side with the cursed spirits since the world they envisioned will suit the brothers more.

Kechizu and Eso are sent on an errand to Yasohachi Bridge to retrieve one of Sukuna's fingers. Once at the bridge, Kechizu enters the cursed spirit's territory and encounters Yuji Itadori, Nobara Kugisaki, and Megumi Fushiguro. Kechizu gets into a fight with Yuji, which Kechizu tries to shoot blood at Yuji but fails. As Kechizu get a hold of Yuji, Yuji twists himself out of the way before kicking Kechizu away with an improvised dropkick. Kechizu then proclaims that Yuji is strong and that this is not fun. When Eso takes Nobara out of the territory, Kechizu decides to heads out as well after sensing his brother's presence, with Yuji following closely behind.

When Kechizu and Yuji exit the spirit's territory, they notices Eso's back and quickly apologizes upon having Eso become angry at them. As Eso forces Yuji and Nobara to run, Kechizu takes a short cut and cuts the two off. Kechizu takes this chance to hit Yuji with his blood, and Eso manages to land a blow while Nobara is distracted. When Eso activate their Decay technique, Nobara uses her own body to harm the two brothers. As Kechizu is distracted by this, Yuji start to attack him. When Eso comes to Kechizu's aide, Yuji stops attacking Kechizu. Yuji then goes after Eso, while Nobara decides to attack Kechizu. Kechizu then gets up and goes after Nobara, but Nobara uses Black Flash to wound Kechizu. When Nobara turns her back on Kechizu, Kechizu tries to kill her but Nobara uses Hairpin on Kechizu to kill him. Kechizu's death is later then sensed by both of his brothers with Eso crying for his brother's demise and Choso becoming angry.

## Abilities and Powers

**Overall Skill Level**: As a cursed object, Kechizu was ranked special grade. Kechizu was incarnated by Mahito's group in order to aid in helping curses take over Japan.
