Suguru Geto

Standing tall with a lean, athletic frame, Suguru wears his long black hair gathered partly into a bun while the remainder spills down his back, his bangs sometimes falling across the left eye. Thin purple eyes look out beneath them, and his stretched earlobes accommodate sizeable round earrings. The length of his hair tracks his history: cropped shorter during his 2006 student days yet already showing those prominent bangs, then growing out after he abandoned the sorcerer's path in 2007 to reach the look he carries by 2017. In his school years he simply wore the standard Jujutsu High uniform. Later, posing as a Buddhist priest, he adopts the full part, a gold kāṣāya layered over black yukata robes, completed by white tabi socks and zōri sandals.

Contempt for non-sorcerers defines the man Suguru became. He dismissed ordinary people as monkeys, casting sorcerers as a superior breed and the next rung of human evolution, and grew so revolted by the company of normal humans that he would spray himself to scrub off their stench. In his eyes the masses existed only to hand over money or to be milked for curses, and those who served neither purpose he was content to let perish. Toward his fellow curse users he was the opposite, treating his comrades as family and earning their loyalty as the man who put sorcerers first. He could even play the gracious sorcerer, though usually behind a false face, as when he feigned friendship with Yuta Okkotsu while privately intending to kill him.

That cruelty was a destination rather than an origin. As a student alongside his best friend Satoru, Suguru held that sorcerers existed to shield the powerless, and he carried himself with the manners and dignity he felt the position demanded, often clashing with the brash Satoru over whether such righteousness was worth anything. The two pushed each other to become the strongest and trusted that together they could manage anything. Cracks formed after Riko Amanai died and the Star Religious Group celebrated her death, an obscenity that stayed lodged in him. Worn down by an unending loop of exorcising and consuming curses, by solo missions of mounting danger, and by the loss of his junior Yu Haibara, he began to doubt whether the weak were worth protecting at all. A conversation with Yuki Tsukumo, who explained that non-sorcerers are the wellspring of curses, pointed him toward a third answer beyond hers: kill all of them. When he finally found two girls, Mimiko and Nanako Hasaba, being abused for their curse-related powers, he made his choice, rescued them, slaughtered all 112 villagers, and left his Jujutsu High pin behind, becoming a curse user for good.

Suguru ranked as one of only four special grade sorcerers and was branded the worst of all curse users for the threat he posed. As a student he and Satoru were both reckoned the strongest, and he could dismantle seasoned curse users with almost no effort. His signature gift was Cursed Spirit Manipulation, which let him dominate vagabond cursed spirits, absorb them into small black orbs he had to swallow, and command them in battle; if the grade gap ran about two levels in his favor he could take a curse in safely, and he could even claim another sorcerer's curses after killing their master. The maximum form of this, Maximum: Uzumaki, fused thousands of collected curses into one devastating strike, with over four thousand combined at the climax of his fight against Yuta and Rika. He could also raise a Curtain, a barrier stretched across a wide area to hide everything inside it from the outside world.

His true menace, however, lay in breadth and cunning. Over a decade he used his religious cult as bait to amass thousands of curses, accumulating enough force to declare open war on Jujutsu High itself. Opponents tended to assume a curse manipulator would hide behind his shikigami, a misconception Suguru exploited to ambush them with expert close combat: he overpowered Panda, a cursed corpse built for melee, in a brief exchange of blows, and while wielding the special grade three-section staff Playful Cloud he held off both Yuta's sword and a fully manifested Rika at once. A brilliant strategist since his school days, he could think a step ahead in battle, lure overconfident enemies into traps, and orchestrate the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons to scatter Jujutsu High's sorcerers between Kyoto and Shinjuku while he infiltrated the school to isolate and target Yuta. After being mortally wounded by Yuta and Rika and then finished by Gojo, his corpse was claimed by Kenjaku, who coveted his cursed technique for the Culling Game.
