Nazar

**Nazar** (ナザール, *Nazāru*) is an Ignorance Spirit, the manifestation of envy and misfortune, one of the most ancient and powerful cursed spirits, estimated to be at least 5000 years old. Uniquely, it is a cursed spirit whose influence has been recorded all over the world, though it has dwelled mostly in Japan since recent years. Nazar is a being so ancient and potent that it is difficult to identify many defining traits about it. The only thing that is certain is that its ultimate ambition is to destroy every other living being on the planet, because it cannot tolerate the presence of any other.

Though it is an incredibly dangerous presence for mankind, there has only been one recorded attempt at excorcising it, which happened 50 years ago when jujutsu sorcerers managed to sever four pieces off of it, which then turned into independent special grade cursed spirits.

## Description

Nazar appears as a tall, shadowy figure, whose appearances flickers and shifts at its outline, as if it is was composed of a liquid or a gas. It is not known what its true appearance is, as the darkness that composes it cannot be illuminated or percieved by any means. Though it does not have any features, Nazar can spawn lidless yellow eyes onto its body as part of its Innate Technique, though it does not need these to actually see its surroundings.

Nazar can 'shed' its shadow to reveal a human form beneath, donning the appearance of a tall, skinny man with dark clothes and long black hair.

## Abilities and Powers

**Overall Skill Level:** Nazar is such an ancient and powerful being that is hard to quantify its power level in relation to others. When the Tokyo Jujutsu High, Kyoto Jujutsu High, the Ryukyuan Society and the Ainu Society collaborated in an attempt to excorcise it, they were only able to carve off four pieces of its cursed energy, which in turn where powerful enough to each be classified as special grade cursed spirits themselves. Nazar is better described as a primordial evil, rather than an individual acting for its own gain. This is also what is making it less dangerous to the world than it could be: because it has existed for such a long time, it percieves time at a much slower pace. It can take years for Nazar to move from one place to another in order to further its goals.

As the personification of envy, Nazar's ultimate goal is to destroy everything else but itself. This includes even the other pieces of itself once they were seperated from it. No jujutsu sorcerer or cursed spirits is capable of facing Nazar directly. Despite its immense power, however, Nazar is not immune to all attacks, shown when Aoba Hamorebi was capable of wounding it by reflecting its attack.

### Jujutsu

**Catastrophic Cursed Energy:** As one of the Ignorance Spirits, Nazar possesses immeasurable levels of cursed energy, possibly greater than any other being. Its power comes from the accumulation of negative emotions of all of mankind over thousands of years, more precisely the feelings of misfortune, envy and spite. Its presence alone leaves most humans unable to move or speak, while being overcome with immense suffering. Within a second of appearing on the battlefield and initiating its technique, Nazar obliterated its offspring, the special degree curse Tōtetsu. It is not clear to what degree Nazar also has control over its cursed energy, and whether the events that arrive in its presence are all voluntary or a consequence of an overabundance of energy leaking out.

* **Fallen Sky, Split Earth** (落空裂地, *Rakkū Kireji*): Nazar can cause natural disasters, such as earthquakes, storms or tsunamis, by releasing enough of its cursed energy into the vicinity. This ability is not an innate technique, but the expression of its status as the embodiment of misfortune.

**Innate Technique:** **Evil Eye** (邪視, *Jashi*): Nazar's sole motivation is to destroy everything but itself, and this is reflected in its technique. Nazar can spawn any number of lidless yellow eyes onto its body. Anything and everything that these eyes see is immediately and utterly destroyed. Manifesting one eye was enough to evaporate Tōtetsu, a special degree curse that was a match for all four members of Saku, and fatally wound Aoba Hamorebi. According to Daji, there is no being or phenomenon that can resist being destroyed by Nazar, not even Tengen's barriers.
