Kento Nanami

## Introduction

Nanami is a very wise and reserved kind of man, often appearing so calm and indifferent that he comes off as stoic and aloof. He seems like the kind of person who's too serious about his work, but Nanami just knows how to separate sentimentalism from service. He's blunt and straight to the point in most conversations and doesn't care for impractical optimism or questions left open to interpretation.

Additionally, Nanami is very avid and quick to express his irritation, either on his face and verbally with his words. Nanami is often very impatient. He hates working overtime and is very serious about not going a single minute over what's required of him.

Beneath his tough exterior, Nanami is actually quite sociable and doesn't mind intelligent conversations. He's practical and overly serious to an almost comedic point on occasion as well. He claims he only became a jujutsu sorcerer because it's slightly less idiotic than being a salaryman. In the role of one of Yuji's mentors, Nanami is a very big contrast to Satoru, who is far more outspoken and easy-going. Yuji and Satoru describe Nanami as "gloomy" and the former didn't believe they would get along at first.

### Character Details

Nanami is a model example of what a grade 1 jujutsu sorcerer should be. Yuji and Takuma Ino both look up to Nanami for his demeanor when actively approaching a difficult situation as well as his incredible skill when it comes down to solving it. Satoru Gojo entrusted Nanami with looking after Yuji due to these traits as well and it paid off well for Yuji's growth. Ino, a powerful grade 2 sorcerer, approaches every tough decision with "what would Nanami do" in mind because he believes Nanami always handles things the right way.

Nanami mainly utilizes a blunt sword in battle and does so with incredible proficiency. Combined with his cursed technique, Nanami can cut through anything, including a blocking opponent that is using cursed energy to defend themselves. Nanami wields his blade with grace and balance, striking with extreme speed and precision with every swipe of his sword.

**Weakness**: None notable

**Notable Attacks and Techniques:**

* **Ratio Technique:** Nanami's Innate Technique can divide his target with ten lines and forcibly create a weak spot at the ratio point of seven to three. The target's lines don't have to match up with the target's length or wingspan. Nanami can freely choose which part to divide, including the subjects, head, torso, arms, and legs. This Technique is also applicable to non-living objects.
* **Collapse:** An Expanded Cursed Technique that creates a sizeable weak point in the surrounding environment, allowing Nanami to destroy it with a single blow.
* **Black Flash:** A Technique that creates spatial distortion when a user connects with an impact of Cursed Energy within 0.000001 seconds of a physical hit. The phenomenon causes Cursed Energy to flash black, creating 2.5 times normal attack power.
* **Overtime**: Nanami's signature Binding Vow with himself. Nanami limits the amount of Cursed Energy he can utilize when he's officially on the clock working for Jujutsu High. Once he goes beyond his usual shift and overtime hours begin, Nanami's Cursed Energy swells to a great degree and grants him a boost in fighting power.
* **Showing One's Cards**: A Binding Vow that increases the user's cursed energy in exchange for vocally divulging how their Cursed Technique functions.
