- —Mahito to Yuji Itadori
Mahito is one of the main antagonists of the Jujutsu Kaisen series. He will appear in an episode of Death Battle, Mahito VS Shigaraki, where he will fight against Tomura Shigaraki from the My Hero Academia series.
History
Mahito is a cursed spirit, a supernatural being naturally manifested from cursed energy created from humanity's negative emotions, with Mahito believing himself to be the manifestation of people's hatred. Believing cursed spirits should replace humans, Mahito aligned himself with three other particularly powerful curses who thought the same: Jogo, Hanami, and Dagon, who became known as the disaster curses, and they allied themselves with the curse user known as "Suguru Geto". As a rather young curse who was only two months old, Mahito began killing humans as he pleased while experimenting with his cursed technique, Idle Transfiguration, which allows him to manipulate the soul, and in turn, the body, letting him turn humans into horribly mutilated and unrecognizable, yet living weapons.
As part of "Geto's" plan, Mahito attempted to ally with the powerful Ryomen Sukuna by attacking his vessel, Yuji Itadori. However, he found that Yuji's soul was the one he could not transfigure, as doing so meant transfiguring Sukuna's soul as well, whose power far exceeded his. Not only that, but Yuji's status as a vessel gave him an understanding of the soul that allowed him to be one of the few people who could actually hurt Mahito. But what seemed like an obstacle was actually a blessing in disguise, as Mahito now had a toy that could not be so easily broken. After being nearly killed by Yuji and his mentor Kento Nanami, Mahito made a resolve to kill Yuji, but not before bringing him as much despair as possible and tearing his soul apart piece by piece, no transfiguration needed.
