Mitsuki Naze

"*This place… is our precious abode. I cannot allow you to damage it any more… Let us end this battle. Here… I shall erase you all from existence right now.*"

— Mitsuki Naze to the Death Paintings when they had attacked her at her house.
**Mitsuki Naze** (名瀬美月(マーチ なぜ), *Nase Mitsuki*?) is a major supporting character, and a minor antagonist of the *Jujutsu Majin* fanfiction. She is a grade 1 jujutsu sorcerer and widely recognized as the strongest sword wielder in the world. She works as a teacher at the Kyoto Jujutsu High and uses her expertise and experience to train strong young allies.

## Appearance

Mitsuki has the appearance of a slender and very youthful woman with blue eyes and black hair. She wears a white *shitagi* (下着, *under clothing*), a black *kosode* (小袖, *small sleeve*), a black *hakama* (袴), a white hakama-himo, white *tabi* (足袋, *foot pouch*), and *waraji.* Apart from those, Mitsuki has been seen with an obi instead of the normal sash, which hides her well-endowed bosom. Her hair is long and is styling in front of her as a loose ponytail. While maintaining a kind and gentle look at most times, during battle, her eyes appear gloomy and menacing. She also wears her hair down for the first time and is revealed to have been covering a notable scar in-between her collarbone.

## Personality

Mitsuki initially appeared to be a very kind, and personality that augments her appearance, and a well-respected sorcerer that was looked up to by many. Soft-spoken and polite, Mitsuki was shown to be a caring woman who uses honorifics when addressing everyone, including her subordinates and the enemy. She rarely shows any signs of panic or distress, and has a great sense of duty. With her grace and kind manners, she lets others know quietly that while she may be soft, she is not to be taken lightly.

## Abilities and Powers

### Overview

Mitsuki is a powerful swordswoman who is widely known in the Jujutsu underworld, having been recognized by the higher-ups who offered her a seat in their place. She was qualified enough to partake in the Special grade mission despite being grade 1 after surviving a massacre full of death row criminals while her hands were restrained. Another testament to her skills was that just when she awakened to cursed energy, Mitsuki quickly understood how to manipulate it by using Ogi Zenin as a prime example and ultimately overpower him even though he was more well-versed in cursed energy manipulation and received special training from the clan. She was capable of fighting equally and push back the combined force of "**Sorcerer of Paradoxes**" Hiroomi Kanbara, "**Scarlet Phoneme**" Mitou Retsune, and "**Dragonfly Fiend**" Ukiyo Yashiki working together with perfect synchronization.

### Physical Prowess

**Master Swordsman**: Mitsuki's personal specialty is sword fighting, particularly in the art of *Kendō*. She is said have mastered all the countless styles of swordsmanship that exist in the world, hence the meaning behind her previous name, "Yachiru". While Mitsuki's preferred fighting style seems to be swordsmanship, she is highly proficient in combining it with her other skills and instantly switching between any of them. Her usual methods in battle are striking from various angles to confuse and catch her opponents off-guard for sneak attacks. Her skill level in swordsmanship is far superior to even the current Hiroomi Kanbara, as she is able to easily best him for a considerable amount of their fight. During their battle, Mitsuki easily overpowered and fatally wounded Ukiyo several times, only losing when Ukiyo became the Dragonfly Fiend, and stripping her of most of her cursed energy, but also the assistance of both Hiroomi and Mitou, were they powerful enough to kill her.

**Immense Strength**: Despite her slender appearance, Mitsuki is strong enough to stop the blade of Maki's Dragon-Bone with just one index finger and almost cut her in half with a single sword strike. She can stop grade 1 and even Special grade tools with just one hand and destroy them with a single swing, proving her strength far exceeds that of the average sword wielder. Mitsuki further displays her strength by cutting through the sword and wrist of Megumi's Divine Dogs.

**Immense Speed**: Being the one who taught Hiroomi footwork, and Burst Step, Mitsuki is highly proficient in it. She is able to keep up with her Suguru Geto, being able to hit him multiple times with Flesh-Drops, but not getting a chance to hit him in the same spot twice, as Geto was slightly faster. She actively uses her mastery of Burst Step and footwork techniques, and is highly proficient in evasion in close quarters, as well as from a distance, thus making hitting her almost impossible for all but the most advanced combatant. Her movements are so fast that few would be likely to see an attack by her take place.

**Immense Endurance**: Despite her own admission of being out of shape, Mitsuki is a very resilient warrior. Both when out of breath from prolonged running against Dragonfly Fiend and sustaining fractures from Mitou Aero Noise, Mitsuki was still able to fight effectively while showing no signs of weakening. Even when her arm started to twist rapidly due to Ukiyo's black rods, Mitsuki didn't show any signs of being in pain and was more wondering the nature of the power. Likewise, Mitsuki showed a resistance to Hajime Kashimo's electric cursed energy, able to survive exposure to lethal doses of several strikes and retain consciousness, impressing Hajime.

### Intelligence

**Master Strategist & Tactician**: Mitsuki is a very insightful and cunning woman. She possesses great intuition, quickly becoming aware of any incoming danger and reacting to it in time. Mitsuki has an undeniable talent for thinking things through well in advance, making decisive and accurate decisions quickly in battle, and seemingly perceiving any situation at hand. She is a crafty tactician, easily deceiving both allies and enemies. In battle, she regularly uses cunning and deception to catch her opponents off-guard. She is very analytical, quickly seeing through an opponent's power and attack patterns to ultimately make them useless against her. She easily outmaneuvered and tricked Geto repeatedly in her fight with him. Mitsuki stated that she goes into situations expecting many possible scenarios just so she is never caught by surprise and making it possible for her to be ready for any that might occur.

**Selfless State**: Throughout her entire life, Mitsuki emanated absolutely no sense of drive, hatred, anger, fighting spirit, animosity or fear even in dire situations such as her seemingly succumbing to death or facing innumerous cursed spirits. In combat, this rendered it practically impossible for her opponent to detect her, predict her movements or gauge how powerful she was with their senses. This gave Mitsuki an edge in battle as opponents underestimated her strength, if they didn't know who she was before hand.
