If you have been watching Jujutsu Kaisen and heard the name Toji Fushiguro being talked about, you might be wondering who this guy is and if he actually shows up in the anime. The answer is a big yes, and his appearance is one of the most talked-about moments in the entire series. Toji Fushiguro, also known as the “Sorcerer Killer,” plays a huge role in season 2, specifically in the episodes that cover the Hidden Inventory / Premature Death arc (also called the Gojo’s Past arc) and later in the Shibuya Incident arc. Let’s break down exactly where you can see him and why his character is so important.
Who is Toji Fushiguro?
Before talking about where he appears, it helps to know who he is. Toji is a unique character in the Jujutsu world. He was born into the powerful Zenin family but had no cursed energy at all . In a world where sorcerers are judged by their cursed techniques, he was seen as a failure. Because of a special condition called a Heavenly Restriction, his lack of cursed energy gave him incredible physical abilities—superhuman strength, speed, and senses . He left the Zenin family, took his wife’s last name (Fushiguro), and became a mercenary and assassin, earning the nickname “Sorcerer Killer” . He is also the biological father of one of the main characters, Megumi Fushiguro .
Toji’s Role in the Hidden Inventory Arc (Season 2)
If you have watched the second season of the anime, you have definitely seen Toji. He is the main antagonist of the Hidden Inventory / Premature Death arc, which aired in 2023 . This arc is a flashback to the past of Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto when they were students at Jujutsu High.
In this story, a young Gojo and Geto are tasked with protecting a girl named Riko Amanai, the Star Plasma Vessel. Toji is hired by a religious group called the Time Vessel Association to assassinate her .
What makes Toji so terrifying in this arc is how he operates. He uses his complete lack of cursed energy to stay invisible to sorcerers, who usually detect people by their energy. He strategically wears down Gojo and Geto over several days by sending waves of attackers and creating distractions . When he finally makes his move, he ambushes them and, using a special-grade cursed tool called the Inverted Spear of Heaven, he neutralizes Gojo’s Infinity and actually kills him . He then defeats Geto and completes his mission by killing Riko.
This moment is a huge shock for fans. Seeing an unknown man defeat the strongest sorcerer, Gojo, was unbelievable. However, Gojo awakens to new powers (Reverse Cursed Technique and a more refined Limitless) and comes back to defeat Toji with his new technique, Hollow Purple . In his final moments, Toji tells the revived Gojo about his son, Megumi, setting up future events .
Toji’s Return in the Shibuya Incident Arc
Toji’s story doesn’t end with his death in the past. He makes a shocking return during the Shibuya Incident arc, which was also adapted in the second half of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 .
In this arc, an old woman named Granny Ogami uses a Séance Technique to summon Toji’s soul and place it into the body of her grandson . She wants to use him as a weapon. But because of Toji’s extreme Heavenly Restriction and lack of cursed energy, the technique backfires. His overwhelming physical data and instincts overwrite the control, and he goes on a complete rampage .
In this resurrected state, Toji is a pure force of nature, acting only on instinct to find and destroy the strongest opponents. He crashes a fight between several high-level sorcerers and a powerful special grade cursed spirit named Dagon. Toji effortlessly dominates Dagon inside his own Domain Expansion, using the cursed tool Playful Cloud, and exorcises him without any trouble—something a group of grade 1 sorcerers could not do together .
The Emotional Confrontation with Megumi Fushiguro
The most important part of Toji’s return is his encounter with his son, Megumi. During his rampage, he comes face-to-face with Megumi. At first, he doesn’t recognize him. However, something in his instincts stirs. He hears the name “Fushiguro” and sees Megumi using the Ten Shadows Technique, the same technique he knew the Zenin family would want .
In a brief moment of clarity, Toji realizes this boy is his son. He doesn’t say much, but he gives Megumi a look of approval. He says, “Not Zenin? That’s good to hear,” showing he is glad Megumi doesn’t carry the name of the clan he hated . To prevent himself from hurting his son, Toji immediately commits suicide by stabbing himself through the head, ending his temporary return. It is a sad and powerful moment that shows a hidden, protective side to the cold-hearted killer .
Key Scenes and Powers Explained
To sum up, Toji Fushiguro is a major part of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2. You can see him in:
- Hidden Inventory / Premature Death Arc: As the main villain who kills the Star Plasma Vessel and defeats a young Gojo and Geto.
- Shibuya Incident Arc: Returning as a mindless but incredibly powerful fighter who easily destroys a special grade curse and then faces his son, Megumi.
His powers are also key to understanding his character. He relies on his Heavenly Restriction for superhuman physical stats, making him faster and stronger than almost anyone . He also uses a variety of cursed tools stored in a special cursed spirit that follows him around, like the Inverted Spear of Heaven (which cancels techniques) and Playful Cloud (which gets stronger based on the user’s physical strength) . Because he has zero cursed energy, he is like an invisible assassin to sorcerers, making him one of the most dangerous characters in the series .
So, for anyone asking, yes, Toji Fushiguro does appear in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo (season 2) , and his appearances are some of the most memorable and action-packed parts of the entire show.
