Tomas

**Tomas** (トーマス, *Tōmasu* ?) is a major supporting character in the *Jujutsu Kaisen* series. He is one of the few special grade jujutsu sorcerers. Tomas is a second-year student at Kyoto Jujutsu High but in truth he simply stays to keep an eye on the High Echelon and Principal Gakuganji by request of Satoru Gojo.

Tomas initially was training overseas by a small community of autochthonous in his homeland, Brazil, until a year before the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons when he was reached out by Satoru.

## Appearance

Tomas is a young sorcerer with a slender yet athletic build and albino skin. He has blond hair styled in dreadlocks that he keeps tied up in a bun. He has wide dark pink eyes with thin eyebrows and pronounced eyelashes.

He has sported a few different outfits but currently appears in a variation of Jujutsu High uniforme typical dark blue uniform, consisting of a dark jacket and his pants match his jacket and reach just above his knees. He finishes off his outfit with brown haori sandals.

In 2016 when Tomas first met Satoru Gojo he wore a white t-shirt, light jeans and high-heeled boots for a more casual look than the current one. In the Culling Game, Tomas wore a general-like Self Defense Forces uniform, which consisted of a wide green leather jacket with several medals over a white shirt with matching pants and black boots. While sneaking inside the Gachinko Fight Club, he wore a green hoodie and matching pants with his normal boots as a disguise.

## Personality

Tomas is very bold, rambunctious, and had a reputation of being scary while always remaining a chill and low-energy person as well. He is detached, brash, and outspoken, completely unafraid to speak his mind at any moment or remain in completely silence whatever pleases him best. He can be unsympathetic and arrogant towards sorcerer executives, an example being his blatant disrespect towards Principal Gakuganji by ignoring his existence during the planning stage for Goodwill Event. Tomas took none interest in "exorcising Sukuna's vessel" and told his team that their schemes were way below his interests and expressed all the insignificance of their motivations and that he'd spend the rest of the event messing around. Even in the most serious situations, his self-sufficient and lazy attitude remains intact.

In 2016, Tomas was sought out by one of his similar special grade sorcerers, Satoru Gojo. Tomas only knew him as the strongest sorcerer and the monster of the East. Tomas power were trained by a group of native sorcerers from his home country and it was contained for a long time, but when he was faced with questions that made him be determined to kill himself and take the whole humanity with him, as he could not answer himself about what was the meaning of a life in continuing to exist even one with so much power as such as his'. Satoru, however, instead of killing him, was in a unique position to understand him due to his own power and the experiences he gained through it, "whatever you're doing that prevents you from killing yourself" was Satoru's answer to Tomas doubts.

Tomas is confident in his abilities and reputation, believing himself to be above all the world's petty schemes. His opinion of others often goes as far as his judgment of their motives, and he is quite apathetic to anyone he deems out of his depth or brutal to those who threaten him. Also, heavily influenced by his own desire for fun, he is very selfish. He convinced himself that no one else but Satoru is important, cherishing the same interests as him, and even warning his veteran Aoi Todo that if he put Megumi's life in serious danger he would kill Nobuko Takada, after Todo's confrontation with Megumi, revelling that his carefree and aloofness has a limit, but just as he can be mischievous and take advantage of his power he shows genuin compassion towards individuals who, like himself, were also 'lost'. However, any empathy with the death of others is stifled by his extensive amount of focus, being able to actively kill innocent people in order to exorcise a cursed spirit. Although, Tomas no longer does that after being vehemently forbidden by Satoru, and to be only willing to sacrifice the lives that are taken by the enemy, but never do the same as them; "as a jujutsu sorcerer your motivation can't be more valuable than an innocent's life" were the words of the strongest sorcerer.

During battles, Tomas is seen to occasionally ignores his enemies efforts and motivations especially towards entitled opponents. However, when Tomas encounters types like Kenjaku he is urged by a demented determination for victory. His combative style is characterized by his speed and clean attacks, while valuing for fun. Furthermore, he is capable of being cold-blooded. He will prioritize his enemies' destruction over saving innocent people.

Northeless, despite his apathy and strength, Tomas is more human than he first appears. After finishing off Uraume, Tomas retrieved a child's corpse with a sad look on his face, showing that although his recent smug victory temporarily clouded his feelings, he still felt pain over an innocent death.

While his allegiances are primarily to himself and Satoru, Tomas is a supportive comrade who manages to use his outspoken personality to encourage others. Though he and Maki didn't know each other very well, he showed concern for her advancement upon realizing her difficulty against Naoya as a vengeful cursed spirit, he volunteered to be her vanguard. When Tomas did well to make Maki reveal her true abilities, she revered him and even sarcastically called him "sensei", a role that does not defines Tomas very well. Tomas likes people whose motivations primarily involve themselves and secretly envy idealists such as Yuji.

## Abilities and Powers

**Overall Skill Level:** Tomas's general capabilities are mostly unknown. He is one of the few jujutsu sorcerers to be designated special grade, proof that he undoubtedly possesses powerful and unusual abilities. However, even the higher-ups at Jujutsu High know next to nothing about his power despite designating him a special grade.

Mostly because of Satoru Gojo's perspective on Tomas' power. Tomas first demonstrated a small portion of his strength when he effortlessly repelled Sukuna's Domain Expansion technique of cutting up everything within the 200 meter radius area, using his Reverse Cursed Technique. Sukuna's domain completely overwhelmed Mahoraga's regeneration ability and took hundreds of human lives in a second.

His true potential was displayed in his clash with Kenjaku, a fellow special grade sorcerer. The combination of Tomas' outstanding skills and his cursed technique rendered cursed spirit manipulation useless against him and even the extremely conceded Kenjaku questioned if he could tame a force of nature like Tomas or could only keep on running away. According to Satoru, Tomas has the same skill potential as Yuta. Tomas is at a higher level compared to other jujutsu students. His strength was also praised by Ryomen Sukuna, the undisputed King of Curses, for being well developed for one so young as well as being noted to be one of the few sorcerers to one day surpass Satoru Gojo.

Tomas possesses genius-level intelligence and he is capable of perfectly memorizing anything. His school teachers remark that he easily maintained perfect grades. While investigating Tomas, Mei Mei also deduces that he had a reputation of being at the top of his class with perfect grades at the gymnasium he went to. Tomas is prodigiously brilliant in whatever he studies and has a natural aptitude for attaining new talents; picking up complicated skills quickly and retaining them. This is noted by  Aoi Todo, when praising Tomas' knowledge of law, politics and economics. He is multilingual; in addition to the English and Chinese he rapidly learns and masters, at fifteen years of age, Tomas was also able to become perfectly fluent in Japanese within a thirteen-month period. At the age of only fifteen, he starts and presides over an underground bank, a feat requiring perfect intuition and flawless intuitive understanding of mathematics, and management.

**Enhanced Strength:** While not as strong as Satoru, he has shown to possess a high level of physical endurance. When he was in his training to control his cursed energy, he was able to withstand large waves of cursed energy as well as attacks with raw physical damage. Tomas fighting style seems to be based on a combination of his superhuman physical attributes and unrivaled intelligence. He mainly resorts to chops and compressing attacks, which are so powerful that they can easily destroy anything they come into contact with and so fast that they are invisible to almost anyone. He usually looks for critical points right away, ending the fight in an instant. He has also shown to be able to take down significantly less powerful people such as Jogo and Mahito by applying pressure to their necks, controlling their movements perfectly despite moving at discussed supersonic speed.

**Enhanced Speed:** He has his agility as one of his most proficient traits, being as fast as Maki, he has shown to be able to follow his movements and fight alongside her effectively. Combining his speed with his raw strength, the attacks can appear to the untrained eye as swift, slashing beams. By his own admission, the only time his speed exceeded his peak was when Sukuna reached fifteen fingers. In their last duel, they exchanged over a hundred blows in less than a minute. However, Sukuna's hand movements were so fast that Tomas couldn't see his first attack, to avoid a failed counterattack and it was only after ten thousand blows that Hōtai was able to keep up with them, until he finally managed to dodge, evolving radically.

**Enhanced** **Durability:** Due to the massive amount of cursed energy his technique requires, he has trained his body to withstand unbelievable damage and can even control his own muscles to some extent, using it to close and prevent fatal wounds from opening in mid-air. battle. He was able to take thousands of such blows without suffering even a single scratch, although it was said that he eventually began to feel a dull internal pain. He was also able to keep his limbs together after being hit by Sukuna's dismemberment attack and was shown to be stable.

**Enhanced Agility:**  Tomas is also immensely fast, so much so that he completely matches the likes of Toji. Tomas is able to move from angle to angle deftly, as seen from his fight with Kenjaku, in which he repeatedly recovered his balance and leaped off vertical structures in fragments of a second after being blown away by strikes faster than sound.

**Superhuman Lung Capacity:** Due to his innate technique Tomas has excellent lungs, allowing him to stay an extended period of time without taking any breath. He is confident that they are second to none. It is his proficiency in apnea that helped him win the battle against Kenjaku in an underground church filled with cursed spirits. Despite from being strong enough to to hold on a good portion, he managed to leave without breathing long enough to escape the maze-like building.

### Jujutsu

**Ionic Meekness** 柔和 (さイオン): Tomas' innate technique allows him to compress the volume of any matter occupying space. It involves the creation of a compression barrier of imaginary mass, where two bodies are forced to coexist and engage in a battle for spatial dominance. Through this process, the targeted body undergoes a profound compression, ultimately transforming it into a pre-existing state of matter. This compression surpasses the realm of death, pushing the body into a state of absolute oblivion. Tomas' power, however, is not without limitations. It solely affects the specific targets he chooses to focus on. According to Tomas, this technique embodies the convergence of two bodies deforming a particular point in space, a concept that aligns with the Law of Impenetrability. Despite the conventional understanding that two bodies cannot simultaneously occupy the same space, Tomas' ability allows for the dominant body to assert its presence, compressing the target until only one entity remains within the space.

**Little Death** 小さな死 (次々と起こること): A domain that creates a barrier beneath his feet that spans a 2.21-meter radius which needs to make use of Tomas' simple domain ray to function. It creates a metaphysical space that is released from any body other than the target, with Tomas himself becoming part of the space so the Ionic Meekness Technique is improved to 150% of its potential. This allows him to ensure that the target is the only body to be compressed into the domain's empty space simulating a sure-hit function. Tomas struggles, much like Megumi, to grasp the sensation of superimposing an artificial space of large scale onto real space and must overlap his simple domain to forcibly enclose his domain to trap his target inside. In terms of raw strength, Tomas' domain is considered inferior compared to some others, however once he activates it inside an opponent's domain and traps them inside it, his domain cannot be destroyed because the enemy's domain recognizes Tomas' domain as a simple domain and therefore it does not engage in a power clash.
