Saki Rindo

**Saki Rindo** (竜 (りん) 胆 (どう)  サキ, *Rindō Saki*?) is a major supporting character in the Jujutsu Kaisen series*.* She is a semi-grade 2 jujutsu sorcerer and first-year student at the Tokyo Jujutsu High after transferring from Fukuoka Jujutsu High alongside Yuji Itadori, Nobara Kugisaki, Megumi Fushiguro, and Nozomi Bugendai. Her former classmate is Kaito Yuki.

## Appearance

Saki is a teenage girl with blonde shoulder length hair, with her bangs covering one of her eyes.

She wears a sailor-style jujutsu uniform. Saki also wears a black choker along with a necklace that has a golden trinket styled after the jujutsu high crest.

When using her cursed technique, she wears a pair of spotted talisman looking wrappings around her hands.

## Personality

Saki is a strong willed, stubborn, and rambunctious person. She can be loud sometimes, much to the annoyance of Nobara, and has a bad habit of running headlong into her missions without a plan. Despite this, she gets along well with her classmates, and cares very deeply for them and their wellbeing. She likes to goof off with her friends, getting along with Yuji the most.

   Saki is very susceptible to her own emotions, especially when it comes to the people she cares about. After the loss of her classmate, she heavily considered quitting being a jujutsu sorcerer out of fear of losing more friends, before ultimately transferring to Tokyo Jujutsu High at her teachers request.

After transferring to Tokyo Jujutsu High, she regained her determination as a jujutsu sorcerer, and pledged to become a grade 1 sorcerer.

Saki became close with her classmates, becoming a practical joker alongside Nobara and Yuji, much to Megumi and Nozomi’s annoyance.

## Abilities and Powers

**Overall Skill Level**: Saki is a semi-grade 2 jujutsu sorcerer with great potential recognized by both Satoru Gojo, the strongest jujutsu sorcerer of the modern era, and Kensuke Nagino, her former teacher and principal. She is powerful enough to contend with powerful curse users and special grade curses, with her cursed technique elevating her abilities to the scale of, if not more so, than a grade 1 sorcerer.

In her battle against Noranso, Saki was able to figure out his cursed techniques capabilities, as well as create a temporary fix for it, eventually killing her opponent with her far superior combat abilities.

During the Shibuya Incident, Saki was tasked with the exorcising of stray cursed spirits and transfigured humans, before meeting up with Nozomi and aiding him in exorcising Makaze. During their battle against the special grade cursed spirit, Saki was able to apply heavy pressure against the curse, achieving landing a Black Flash on it.

### Physical Prowess

**Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant**: Saki is a extremely aggressive close range fighter, and has superior martial arts skills rivaling the likes of Yuji, one of the greatest, if not the greatest practitioner of martial arts in the series, as well as surpassing both Nozomi and Maki, the only other rivals to the likes of her and Yuji in close quarters combat. Her close range fighting is akin to that of a professional MMA fighter, which allows her to easily overcome semi-grade 1 curses.

**Immense Strength**: Saki is quite powerful even without the usage of cursed energy, though not quite on the level of Yuji Itadori. When it comes to fighting, her destructive power is stronger than both Yuji and Maki Zen’in combined, two of Tokyo Jujutsu Highs strongest physical fighters.

**Immense Speed and Reflexes**: Saki is extremely fast, capable of covering ground with ease to get in close with her opponents, and has very quick reflexes, capable of dodging Makaze’s point blank Wind Bullet, which travels faster than the speed of sound, proving he has superb reflexes.

**Immense Durability**: Saki durability surpasses the average sorcerer, shown in her battle with Nozomi against Makaze, constantly taking damage in order to get in close to use her innate technique.

**Immense Stamina:** befitting her fighting style, Saki possesses a large amount of stamina and has often been shown continuing to fight despite grievous injuries for longer periods of time without rest.
