| ~ Aoi Todo's famous question. |
Aoi Todo is a supporting character in the manga/anime series Jujutsu Kaisen. He is a third-year student at Jujutsu Kyoto High and a Grade-1 sorcerer. He's also a close friend to Yuji Itadori, whom he treats as his younger brother figure.
He is voiced by Subaru Kimura and Yūki Kazu in his youth in Japanese and by Xander Mobus in English.
Appearance[]
Aoi Todo is a tall young man that stands about the same height as Satoru Gojo. He has a very defined, heavy muscular build and relatively tan skin. He has small black eyes and shoulder-length black hair that is almost always tied into a top-knot bun. One of his most notable features is the large scar running down the left side of Todo's face that he got from harsh training with Yuki.
Personality[]
Todo is an extremely eccentric individual who at first appears to be nothing more than a battle-crazed meathead to all his peers. He enjoys posing, showing off his muscles, and the thrill of battle. But all this hides an extremely cunning individual, who is able to formulate plans in an instant, and to use his outward look to throw people off.
Todo is supremely confident in himself and revels in heated combat even when the situation is extremely dangerous. He made light of his own achievements during the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, revealing to Megumi he only needed his cursed technique to defeat a special grade curse. Despite undoubtedly possessing more cursed energy than Todo, Hanami was wary of him before they ever exchanged blows just based on his intense presence and supreme confidence. Todo's peers recognize that he's the most powerful out of all of them but they don't get along at all and everyone finds him irritating. In the baseball game, it was made abundantly clear that Todo is seriously hated by all the other students. Maki hit in him the face with the baseball and everyone other than Yuji praised her for the "nice pitch".
Powers and Abilities[]
Overview[]
Overall Skill Level: Aoi is an exceptionally powerful sorcerer, undoubtedly one of Jujutsu High's strongest students. He obtained the rank of a grade 1 jujutsu sorcerer as a student despite coming from a non-sorcerer family.
Aoi single-handedly defeated five grade 1 cursed spirits and 1 special grade during the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons in Kyoto, having only used his cursed technique to defeat the special grade. This feat became well known around the jujutsu community and caused the rumor that Aoi defeated all six curses without his cursed technique.
Aoi possesses physical strength that surpasses Maki and Panda's, rivalling Yuji's prowess. Using brute force and fierce martial arts, Aoi was able to easily overwhelm Megumi as well as pummel Yuji in the early stages of their bout. Even after beginning to guide Yuji on how to become stronger, Aoi maintained the upper hand while fighting due to his experience and cleverness.
Aoi and Yuji turned out to be a good match and Aoi showcased his intelligence and knowledge surrounding jujutsu sorcery and battles. Aoi's understanding of cursed energy allowed him to teach Yuji how to properly use it alongside his superhuman speed and strength. While fighting alongside Yuji, Aoi was very nearly able to defeat Hanami, one of the most powerful special grade cursed spirits to have appeared.
During the heat of battle against Hanami, Aoi was able to analyze all their moves and instantly create ways to counter them using his own cursed technique. Hanami initially analyzed Aoi to be weaker than them, but the careful planning and precise teamwork with Yuji allowed Aoi to dominate the fight.
Physical Prowess[]
Todo effortlessly overpowering Megumi.
Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Aoi prefers close quarters combat to anything else, normally relying on brute force to overpower his opponents rather than jujutsu. He completely outclassed Megumi when trading blows, easily able to outmaneuver and brutalize the first year at every turn. Even against Yuji, who's extremely talented in hand to hand fight, Aoi was able to effortlessly overpower at the start of their fight. Even as the fight went on and Yuji began to adapt to Aoi's moves, he was still able to surprise Yuji and stay one step ahead thanks to his combat experience.
He generally employs a mix of direct and crushing blows such as punches, forearm smashes, stomps and other brutal strikes. This type of fighting was effective against Hanami, mainly while being used alongside his cursed technique.
Enhanced Strength: Against most opponents, Aoi is more than capable of relying on raw physicality to win fights. A single strike against Megumi was able to send him reeling back several meters. His fighting style includes a barrage of powerful blows, stomps, and suplexes in quick succession.
A cursed energy infused strike from Aoi is capable of obliterating a lower grade curse completely while still damaging Yuji, his intended target before the curse suddenly inhibited his punch. Alongside Yuji's enhanced punches, Aoi was able to hit Hanami's guard hard enough for the special grade to acknowledge the weight of the hit.
Combined with his cursed technique, Aoi's strength becomes even more difficult to deal with. It allows him to exploit openings in his opponent's defense which allows him to land lethal strikes using his physical strength.
Using Boogie Woogie to switch out his partner for a special grade cursed tool, Aoi delivered a strike so powerful it shattered Hanami's weak point, the branches growing out of their face, in a single blow. A hit so strong, Aoi believed it should have ended the fight altogether. The cursed tool, Playful Cloud relies on the strength of its user, further cementing Aoi's near-superhuman levels of physical power.
Enhanced Speed: To match his incredible strength Aoi possesses extreme speed. He incorporates his frightening speed in his fighting style by continuously striking with quick succession before his opponents can react. He blitzed clean through Megumi's every defense in their fight and landed blow after blow to overpower him.
At the very beginning of the Goodwill Event, it took Aoi just a few seconds to reach the opposing team. He was even able to surprise Yuji with his speed and momentarily overpower him with sheer physical prowess. Aoi's speed also allows him to move unpredictably when utilizing his cursed technique, as shown while fighting Hanami.
Intelligence[]
Great Tactical Intellect: Aoi's oafish demeanor fools most people, but he's actually incredibly intelligent; claiming to have an IQ of 530,000. Using his own experience and vast understanding of jujutsu, he was able to transform Yuji from a sub-par jujutsu sorcerer to a fighter capable of taking on special grade cursed spirits. Aoi even has a deeper philosophical side that was able to help Yuji grasp the understanding of jujutsu. Additionally, his thinking speed is unmatched, able to review Hanami's entire move set within just 0.01 seconds and accurately determine the correct way to defend against his attacks.
Cursed Energy[]
- Cursed Energy Manipulation: Aoi understands the essence of cursed energy and possesses masterful control over it. He understands the nature of how to make cursed energy effectively flow throughout his entire body, allowing him to freely manipulate it as a part of his close combat arsenal and making his flow of energy difficult to read. He is sufficiently knowledgeable in this aspect of cursed energy that he can teach it to others.
- Cursed Energy Reinforcement: Aoi has a good understanding of how to utilize cursed energy to reinforce his body. He is able to strengthen his punches enough to obliterate low-grade curses in a single punch and can infuse his energy into cursed tools. For defense, Aoi can also apply a coating of cursed energy to his body to protect himself from attacks.
- Black Flash ( Kokusen?): A phenomenon that creates a spatial distortion when a user connects an impact of cursed energy within 0.000001 seconds of a physical hit, causing cursed energy to flash black, creating a more potent attack to the power of 2.5 of a normal hit. Aoi first used Black Flash when him and Yuji fought Mahito during the Shibuya Incident. Currently, he has performed it once.
- Boogie Woogie: His cursed technique allows him to switch the positions of any two objects, usually people, imbued with Cursed Energy by clapping his hands. Following having his hand amputated by himself in his battle against Mahito during the Shibuya Incident, Todo finally came back after during the Shinjuku Showdown Arc to assist Yuji once again in his battle against Ryomen Sukuna with a Vibraslap equipped to his left hand, enhancing his technique further.
Trivia[]
- When Aoi was about to unleash his black flash attack on Mahito in Episode 20 of the anime, it is a reference to All Might's One for All quirk from My Hero Academia.
