Starting off, Mahito wreaks havoc by killing three random schoolboys while they are at the cinema. The schoolboys are bullying Junpei, whom Yuji has befriended. Mahito later manipulates and kills Junpei in front of Yuji’s eyes. This is One of the early ones Jujutsu Kaisens most horrifying moments.
Mahito is fascinated with Yuji, the vessel of Sukuna, and Starts to seek battles with the jujutsu sorcerers. He even considers himself Yuji’s rival at one point. At the end of the Shibuya Incident arc, each main character in Jujutsu Kaisen Find a link in Mahito. Mahito allies with Kenjaku to get to Sukuna, who has taken over Geto’s body after his death. This makes the already tragic backstory of Gojo and Geto even more emotionally alive, and the emotional stakes are high when Mahito and his curse group confront Gojo to seal him.
At other points, Mahito steals Todo’s hand, puts Nobara into a coma (but she was believed dead until the finale), kills Nanami, and more. Jujutsu Kaisen Roughly follows the timeline of Sukuna’s revival and Kenjaku’s efforts to put a Tengen merger in place. With his unparalleled development as a fighter, unflinching desire to rid the world of humans (since he saw cursed spirits as the manifestation of humanity’s deepest emotions), affiliation with Kenjaku and adoration for Sukuna, Mahito clearly demonstrates. Jujutsu KaisenS steaks.
Mahito’s approach signals the end of Jujutsu Kaisen’s story
With only Mahito links, Jujutsu Kaisen Shows that his story is over – and that it is futile to ask for more
Mahito acts to unite the characters of the show into a coherent story. Even after his eventual death to Yuji and Todo, and his subsequent consumption by Kenjaku, The damage he and his allies caused during the Shibuya incident will cause a complete disaster.Confirm the later arcs. The deaths of friends like Junpei, Nanami, and (so Yuji thought, anyway) Nobara, would deeply affect Yuji, and in the same chapter where his domain expansion is explored, Yuji recalls their influence on him. When he takes Tsukona down, he references his battles with Mahito, saying “I am you.”
Mahito’s life and the people who would carry him forward after his death are actually bookends of the series. Jujutsu KaisenHis story “grew” like Mahito. When Mahito dies and is consumed by Kenjaku, Mahito becomes part of Kenjaku himself just as he continues to be a part, after death, of Kenjaku’s ongoing mission. When Kenjaku eventually dies at Yuta’s hands (and through Takaba’s ongoing efforts), the ripples of Mahito still reverberate.

At the end of the story, the fact that he is the last “unfortunate child” is a lesson In the futility of failing to move forward and grow. Surprised even by Sukuna’s willingness to change, Mahito was the last representative of the effort, and he was incapacitated: exorcised, he could only stand there and scream about everyone else giving up. Sukuna’s appearance has a double reading as his own failure to be the champion of Mahito’s ideals. Sukuna, the king of curses, is also defeated by humans, which in turn undermines Mahito’s guiding ideal that curses are inherently superior to humans.
like Jujutsu KaisenThe curtains close, Mahito stands there alone in the dark, The only one left to beat in the past. Stuck in a dead dream, the wordless tunnels that follow his break from him with their happiness. Mahito’s closing words are not lazy, nor are they lighthearted. They carry the weight of everything Jujutsu Kaisen.
The brief flashback of Gojo and Yuji in the final chapter shows him passing the torch to those who should move on. Mahito gets the last word as a way to tell the story that grew with him will also die with him. Through the ups and downs, every character moves on in the end except for him. In the same way, Gege told fans that Jujutsu Kaisen Is an experience they will always carry forward, however Mocking the thought of clinging to him. It’s genius, and he couldn’t give it Jujutsu Kaisen A better conclusion.
