He wears a loose shirt with circular patches on the elbows and rolled-up sleeves with black pants and suspenders. Later in Shibuya he worn a sweater, black pants and black shoes. His favorite position is laying coiling dragon on his shoulder.

## Personality

Ever since his childhood, Death Scythe has been a blunt and cold student, who had no patience for those who believed themselves superior to the weak, leading to both himself and Oboro butting heads over childish arguments.

His anger towards the oppression of the weak stemmed from his traumatic childhood, as he would suffer from neglect from most of his family, with the burden of inheriting the Scythe Clans inherited technique. With only his mother to care for him, she eventually sent Death to Japan to be educated at Tokyo Jujutsu High but he would suffer the most devastating blow watching his grandpa killing his mother and being forced to retreat and flee from everything he knew. However this traumatic event would still hold weight in his mind but it wasn't until he made it to the school we're he was somewhat freed and he would make friends that he would grow more open and warm, becoming close friends with his classmates.

After the events of the Parade of a Thousand Demons, Death suffered from his loss against Geto, and felt inferior to Oboro and Yuta, feeling as though he couldn’t catch up to them, despite Kento Nanami’s praise of him. Remembering what Geto did killing all those non-sorcerers, and the Jujutsu Sorcerers doing nothing to stop him until that day, Death felt that what he was even doing as a sorcerer would make no difference in the long run and further he would give into some aspects of his darkness. Following the Shibuya Incident, and his subsequent execution being placed, he would start to battle the conflicting ideals within him. One telling him to rejoin his friends, with another telling him to reject the jujutsu society that has “abandoned him”.

He was subsequently saved from turning into something like his grandfather by Oboro Mu his best friend through a heart to heart conversation despite this death would still see a personality change as he did became Aloof and "Straight to the Point" as he became more prominent in the group with his new ideas to further action also he had became a bit indifferent to the surroundings around him.

## Abilities and Powers

### Overall Skills

**Overall Skill**: Death is a Semi-Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer and possesses some of the greatest potential of all the Tokyo Jujutsu High students. Kento Nanami, a model grade 1 sorcerer, believed that Death had as much potential as his special grade classmates, Yuta and Oboro. His greatest feats were shown in his battle to hold off Suguru Geto from getting to Yuta, where he pressed the special grade curse user to take him more seriously than Panda, Toge, and Maki.

During his first year, Death was the only other grade 2 sorcerer aside from Toge Inumaki, and was considered a prodigy at Jujutsu alongside Yuta and Oboro. During Geto’s invasion of Tokyo Jujutsu High, Death was the only non-special grade student left standing during his, Panda, Toge, and Maki’s fight against Geto, with Geto commending Death after he managed to bruise Geto’s ribs on his abilities before incapacitating him seconds before Oboro and Yuta’s arrival.

As a second year, Death had become a semi-grade 1 sorcerer, same as Toge, and was considered for promotion to grade 1 by Kento and Kusakabe. He would later help the second years in training the less experienced first-year students. During the Kyoto Goodwill Event he would fight the Semi Grade 1 Third Year Student Kensaku Noroikeishō, with the Kyoto student complimenting Death’s performance. During their battle, Death was able to deduce the effects of Kensaku’s technique, using 4 “cursed tools” to gain the advantage, nearly defeating him before the pairs battle was interrupted by the lowering on a veil, forcing them to put their fight on hold.

Due to his father being Toji Fushiguro, Death’s body would take on traits from his father's heavenly restriction, such as his innate physical prowess being heighted, including his agility and strength, though not to the level of Yuji Itadori or Maki Zenin. His body was also more durable than the average humans, being able to take non-cursed energy infused hits from superhuman opponents, like Oboro and Maki, without the need of cursed energy reinforcement.

During the Shibuya Incident, Death was put in charge of helping Ino take down the veil’s stopping sorcerers from entering, during this he did encounter and fought Mori a Curse User temporarily fighting for Kenjaku's Group.

However their abilities were seen as not close as Death’s had a drive at this put become faster, skilled, and more powerful and this is not to compare him to Mori who was less fast, but had great reaction speed and only carried a little power to him as his technique had controlled many people but at the cost of his cursed energy being taken in small chunks something that will greatly cost the curse user, but as soon as his technique worn off scythe had disappeared and appeared behind him and the curse user pulled out two unique cursed tools but death scythe was still too fast and destroyed one of the blades him hinting death was still steps ahead of him and then he destroyed the last blade.

At the final stretch of this fight Mori had finally revealed a in his range abd this allowed death to cleanly cut his hand off before his technique even had activated, even further, to make sure if Mori had reverse cursed technique he would reinforce his ears with cursed energy as a cautious measure displaying his awareness and overall intelligence and eventually he would through said "Blindspot", overpower and ended mori before the curse user even had the chance to do all he wanted to do to help his temporarily allied later on he would be taken over by his father, Toji Fushiguro, in a planned out strategy concocted by Kenjaku and Zencho for their amusement. This event nearly killed him, as the puppet completely depleted his cursed energy reserves before Toji could kill his vessel.

In the days prior to the Culling Game, Death began to rapidly grow in his capabilities, creating a binding vow to further his combative abilities, as well as easily dispatching of multiple assassins sent by the higher-ups. In his colony, Death was able to gather 60 total points, killing several skilled Culling Game Players and being labeled a threat by Kenjaku’s Group, and was capable of taking down Special Grade cursed spirits. He further honed his cursed technique in the month prior to the Shinjuku Showdown, being able to consciously give minor, weak techniques to non-cursed tool objects, and could fight evenly against Zencho in a battle of hand-to-hand combat.

#### Overall Abilities

**Genius Intellect**: In both Jujutsu Kaisen Stories he is an incredibly smart individual and battle strategist, being able to concoct counter attacks and deduce cursed techniques after seeing them through. During the fight against Geto in Jujutsu Kaisen: 0, Death faced Geto with his non-special grade classmates and was able to coordinate his classmates, but was ultimately no match for the several dozen cursed spirits Geto used to incapacitate him. His battle intellect only grew as he became a second-year, becoming able to understand cursed techniques easier, though not on the level of Oboro.

**Stealth Master**: Unlike his school mates to make up for his lack of speed most of the time in battle he had many years training himself to be like a Ninja and Shinobi this was done when he became a second year and he didn't use it until Post Shibuya as he used his Quiet Steps Binding Vow that allowed him to sneak up on physically anyone because he made no sounds and he greatly used this to his advantage to sneak up on his targets and uses his back stab method of gaining the upper hand.

**Cursed Tool Mastery**: He was extremely skilled using cursed tools as he physically outmatched many in the series with cursed tool mastery the only one he is not capable of surpassing is his Father the most powerful in using cursed tools and non cursed tools and he had displayed able to use multiple cursed tools in his life and was able to easily surprise many at how skilled he was using the Coiling Dragon being able to surpass the limitations built by the tool and was able to force its fullest potential to his advantage.

### Jujutsu

**Quiet Steps**: After his first year in Tokyo Jujutsu Highschool and being left behind the two strongest of their school at this point instead of letting that happen he would then created a binding vow that removed his ability to produce sounds his body makes natural and in exchange he gained immense stealth abilities, later he had help from Tengen to trade his original condition for his binding vow were it now took away nothing but he could only activate for 30 seconds by chanting "Silence take away the Sound".

**Playful Cloud** (游 (ゆう) 雲 (うん) , *Yū-un*?) is a special grade cursed tool that embodies pure and solid power. It originally belonged to Toji, and ironically the Puppet of Carnage with Toji's memory of it would effectively disarm Maki Zenin. In the Puppets hands, the three-section staff reflected Scythe's and Toji's mixed physical bodies at the same time incredible physical strengths, making a weapon capable of destroying even Dagon's hardest shikigami with a single blow. By rubbing it together, the Puppet sharpened Playful Cloud, turning it into a deadly stabbing weapon. The puppet used it to stab Dagon repeatedly through the head until the special grade was exorcised.
