Dōji

## Shuten-Dōji

**Shuten-Dōji** 酒呑童子 (しゅてんどうじ), usually referred to simply as Dōji is a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, and one of the Three Great Evil Yōkai of Japan 日本三大悪妖怪 (ニホン サン ダイ アク ヨウカイ).

Dōji was once a human living centuries ago in the Heian Era as a renowned Jujutsu Sorcerer. He is believed to have become an Imaginary Vengeful Spirit after his death. Although, it is known many Sorcerers were sent to take him down. He was finally taken down by Minamoto Raikō and his subordinates. However Dōji's curse was too strong for him to be fully killed. Hence, his Soul entered and became trapped within the four weapons which beheaded him, which became the Special Grade Cursed Tools known as Dōjigiri, Chisui, Iwakiri, and Onikiri. These weapons which contain Shuten-Dōji attract and manipulate any who come near, to wield the weapon. Shuten-Dōji incarnates into the body of whomever takes hold of his weapons and binds himself to them with a Binding Vow. Shuten-Dōji's ultimate goal is to assemble all four weapons together and bring them to his burried head kept at Nariai-ji temple in Kyoto. Thus, currently Dōji is incarnated within Kagerou Kizen who wields Dōjigiri.

## Personality

Dōji is an sadistic man who is the literal embodiment of immorality, selfish and apathetic, Dōji is more than willing to commit evil acts simply to derive pleasure. He uses his overwhelming strength and abilities to dominate his opponents and inflict as much pain as possible, mental, emotional or physical it does not matter as long as he manages to make his targets suffer and pull them into despair. Dōji's is aware of his overwhelming strength, which is what gives him his sense of superiority and arrogance. He will frequently taunts and insults others and compares them to maggots or worms beneath his feet.

Dōji will often prioritize proclaiming and showcasing his superior power over others. Thus, he is extremely dismissive of threats and opponents, stating he would kill Kagerou Kizen multiple times. Dōji is intelligent and manipulative, consistently formulating and pulling off plans, and manipulating people who approach the weapons in which his soul is sealed. In extremely rare cases, he will acknowledge the strength of his opponents, such as Kagerou in their inner battle for control of the hosts body. However, his sadistic traits will often takeover his rationality, opting to take the route which can cause the most pain and suffering than the most efficient route. This fact, added with his cunning plans, allows him to create multiple functioning and dangerous plans of action which can be played in the long run. These schemes are extremely torturous and frequently involve completely breaking, both mentally and emotionally and physically scarring as many people as possible, while still reaching his end goal.

On another note, Shuten-Dōji is also an alcoholic in love with Sake and various alcohols. It is one of the only ways to appease Dōji is of course giving him high quality sake. However, Dōji's hosts become weak to alcohol as the Cursed Spirit tries to take advantage of the drunk Host to take them over, as the alcohol makes him stronger.

## Abilities & Powers

### Jujutsu:

 **Reverse Cursed Technique** 反転 術式 (はんてん じゅつしき): As befitting of a special grade Cursed Spirit, Dōji can easily use reverse cursed technique in order to heal himself and regenerate lost limbs in an instant. These regained limbs maintain the same integrity as the rest of Dōji's body. On another note, Dōji is able to imbue Reverse Cursed Energy or Positive Energy into the weapons he is sealed into, if given the chance to roam free and use them at his will.

 **Weapon Soul Binding:** Dōji's signature binding vow sealed within his weapons. The vow itself may vary slightly from wielder to wielder, but in essence the effect of the binding vow remains the same. The essence of the binding vow entails that the wielders Soul will be bound to the weapon the second the hold the blade, until their death, but they will gain the ability to use a part of Dōji's Innate Technique through the weapon. However, as the wielders Soul is bound to the weapon, it is also bound to Dōji's Soul, as his Soul is the weapon. Thus, this allows Dōji the capability to take over the wielders body, as both their souls and the weapon are intertwined.
