Maki Zenin

Personality:   Maki Zenin (禪ぜん院いん真ま希き Zen'in Maki?) is a major supporting character in Jujutsu Kaisen and one of the main protagonists of its prequel, Jujutsu Kaisen 0: Jujutsu High. She is currently a second-year at Tokyo Jujutsu High. Daughter of Ogi Zenin and the elder twin sister of Mai Zenin, Maki was born in the Zenin Family. Born a non-sorcerer in one of the Big Three Sorcerer Families, Maki was constantly mistreated and felt compelled to expel herself from the Zenin clan. She aspires to be a great jujutsu sorcerer to spite her family, working closely with her friends Panda and Toge Inumaki, while also serving as a role model to the first-year students. Maki is a young woman with a tall athletic build. She has small golden eyes and long black hair (dark green in the anime) normally tied into a short ponytail. She had fringes of hair over her forehead with smaller strands framing her cheeks and used to sport different pairs of glasses that allowed her to see curses. While still a member of the Zenin clan, Maki wore a traditional outfit, a white yukata, and a black hakama. Maki's original Jujutsu High student uniform consisted of the traditional long sleeve jacket with a skirt. As a first-year student, she wore thick, long tan socks and black shoes with her uniform. As a second-year Maki wore a different pair of glasses and sported black leggings instead of socks. While training for the Goodwill Event, Maki wore a purple tracksuit a black jersey with tan shorts over her leggings. While training Yuta Okkotsu, Maki wore the same top with darker shorts. Her casual clothes consisted of a white hoodie over a black and white horizontal shirt, white shorts over black pants, and white boots. Maki is a very headstrong and straightforward person who tries to drive herself forward without needing anyone else's help. She is extremely strong-willed, capable, and motivated to escape the standards that have been set for her by people who are supposed to be her family. In a sorcerer clan, strong cursed techniques are everything, but Maki couldn't even see curses. Women in sorcerer clans have to stand out even more, leading Maki to be constantly severely mistreated and abused by the Zenin clan. Despite feeling cursed by her own blood, Maki motivates herself to become a strong sorcerer regardless of what her family thinks. She wants to break apart the foundation of their way of their life and reject it completely. Maki can come off as rather cold at times, even to her classmates. She is the leader type but Maki is very tough on others and tends to be impatient and hot-tempered. Maki doesn't seem to respect Satoru Gojo as a person due to his very goofy attitude. Even as her teacher and senior, Maki often refers to him as a moron. She was initially very mean to Yuta because of his shy attitude and openly told him he had no business attending Jujutsu High as a cursed human.[10] Overall Skill Level: Maki's grade 4 ranking is not at all reflective of her actual skill level. She was born a non-sorcerer but she has always had tremendous physical abilities, gifted through heavenly restriction in exchange for her severely low cursed energy. By mastering the use of weapons and studying curses at Jujutsu High, she has become a jujutsu sorcerer nonetheless. Master Weapons Specialist: Maki is touted as the best cursed tool user at Tokyo Jujutsu High.[53] Able to wield a wide assortment of different weapons, Maki has mastered all sorts of armed combat styles. She appears to prefer using polearms and spears in battle but is fully capable of switching between multiple weapons in the course of a single fight. Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Maki is well trained in several forms of close-quarters combat and generally uses hand-to-hand in tandem with her weaponry. While her hands are generally occupied fighting with weapons, Maki likes to throw kicks at the same time. While fighting Mai, Maki sliced apart her foothold with a katana then delivered a devastating kick to her sister's body that tossed her through the air. High Tactical Intellect: Maki was raised in one of the major sorcerer clans so she has a solid grasp on the important aspects of the jujutsu world. While generally looking to overpower her opponents with her physical skills, Maki is also a highly intelligent fighter. She has proven leadership skills and gives effective orders within her squad to work together as a unit. As the de-facto leader of the Tokyo Team in the Goodwill Event, Maki came up with the strategy to counter Aoi Todo's one-track mind and brute strength.[59] She and Megumi were also quick to figure out the Kyoto Team's formation was targeting an assassination on Yuji.[60] In Shibuya, it was her plan for Nobara and Akari to leave the barrier and rescue Ijichi.[61] Immense Strength: Maki has always possessed extraordinarily high levels of strength for a human. She knocked out Aoi Todo with a baseball to the face and broke a wooden polearm over her thigh, something no normal person is physically capable of. As a testament to her heavenly gifted strength, Playful Cloud is a cursed tool that relies solely on its user's power. She was able to use it to damage two powerful special grade cursed spirits on her own. Immense Agility & Reflexes: Maki has incredible speed to match her strength and moves well enough in a fight for her agility to be acknowledged by Hanami.[68] She makes sharp moves, and stays highly mobile in a fight with great precision. Against Mai's revolver, Maki effortlessly dodged and weaved through her sister's barrage of bullets. Not only did she slice a bullet in half with a katana, Maki even moved fast enough to catch a speeding bullet just a few centimeters from her face using incredibly astute reflexes.[69] Immense Endurance: Although she never had an effective resistance to curses, Maki has always been tough. No amount of curse tolerance saved Naobito from similar injuries. Zero Cursed Energy: Maki originally possessed very low levels of cursed energy, even less than the average non-sorcerer. She couldn't see curses without glasses imbued with cursed energy, the most basic requirement to be considered a sorcerer. This was despite Maki being born into a powerful sorcerer clan, due to being born a twin, which is inauspicious for sorcerers. Treated as one person in jujutsu, Mai had the cursed technique and most of the cursed energy between the twins. With Mai's sacrifice, she took all the cursed energy between them, making Maki only the second known person to have escaped cursed energy completely after Toji. Like Toji, Maki is completely undetectable without cursed energy and barriers treat her like a building. Domains also have no effect on Maki. She cannot be confined to a barrier unless the caster uses an actual structure as the barrier's exterior or she consents. A domain's sure-hit attack cannot target Maki without cursed energy. Heavenly Restriction: In exchange for her lack of cursed energy, Maki has always possessed exceptional physical prowess. While not as superhuman as Yuji Itadori, she possessed peak human capabilities comparable to sorcerers who constantly train in cursed energy reinforcement. Maki's strength allowed her to work effectively as a sorcerer by wielding cursed tools despite having enough cursed energy to be technically considered one. The minor amount of cursed energy Maki possessed was holding back her Heavenly Restriction. In exchange for escaping from cursed energy completely, Maki was granted a "body of steel" with capabilities even beyond that of Yuji. Her prowess is now comparable to Toji's, especially after learning to use her body's capabilities to the fullest. Not only does she possess superhuman strength and speed, but Maki can see inorganic matter and grab hold of normally imperceivable changes in air density and temperature. As a first-year student, Maki's signature weapon was a red naginata cursed tool with gold ends and a pink cloth. She used it to exorcise several cursed spirits but it was broken in her fight with Suguru Geto. Maki's low cursed energy makes her unable to see curses or jujutsu naturally. Her glasses are actually a cursed tool that grants her these abilities. She was not particularly fond of the first pair and they were broken in her fight with Suguru Geto. She later replaced her original glasses and used a new pair until they were also broken in Shibuya. After the incident, Maki replaced her glasses once again. This pair was similar to the first, more round in shape. However, she broke this pair as well during her confrontation with her father. During the Goodwill Event, Maki wielded a long naginata polearm with a black cursed tool blade decorated with fur in-between the handle and the spearhead with gold rings on the opposite end. Playful Cloud (游ゆう雲うん Yū-un?): A special grade cursed tool retrieved from Suguru Geto. It is a three-section staff that is described as pure power, relying entirely on the user's physical strength. Dragon-Bone (竜りゅう骨こつ Ryūkotsu?) is Juzo Kumiya's masterpiece. It can accumulate force and cursed energy as well as eject it out of the back of the blade in accordance with the user's will. During a meeting with Master Tengen, Maki asked for the location of Juzo's workshop. At some point, she went there and retrieved Dragon-Bone. She was first forced to use it in a duel with her own father.[83] The sword Mai left behind for Maki is an exact replica of the Split Soul Katana (釈しゃく魂刀こんとう Shakukon Tō?). It is Maki's last connection to her sister and it possesses the ability to bypass any physical resistance to cut right at the soul of any target.
