Jujutsu Kaisen Wiki

Ko-Guy ( (こう) GUY (ガイ) Kō Gai?, lit. Locust Guy)[1] is a minor antagonist in the Jujutsu Kaisen series. He was a grade 2 cursed spirit born from humanity's hatred of the locust plague. Yuji Itadori encountered him on B2F of Meiji-Jingumae Station while he was guarding the commissioned curtain there.

Appearance

Ko-Guy is named after the obvious type of curse he is. He is a relatively large, bipedal, humanoid curse that strongly resembles a normal grasshopper. Ko-Guy uses two of his six legs to stand on and the other four as arms.

Personality

Ko-Guy is not particularly bright. He is capable of speech and communication to some degree, albeit with some occasional trouble. Despite barely being considered intelligent, Ko-Guy believes himself to be very smart. Upon meeting Yuji, nearly everything he talked about revolved about either himself being smart or asking if Yuji if he's smart. When Yuji revealed to him that smart people don't really talk about being smart, he was surprised and covered his mouth to stop talking.

History

Ko-Guy was born from humanity's hatred of the locust plague. At some point he aligned himself with Pseudo-Geto's Group.

Synopsis

Shibuya Incident Arc

Yuji Itadori encountered Ko-Guy munching on a human corpse when he entered the Shibuya Station at the B2F entrance. The young sorcerer asks the curse about Mahito's whereabouts, to which the grasshopper responded by answering the question and adding that he's protecting a cutain here. Yuji took it upon himself to exorcise the curse in order to get rid of the curtain. Ko-Guy was initially overpowered, so he tried a surprise attack, but it didn't work and Itadori promptly exorcised the curse.

Abilities and Powers

Overall Skill Level: Evidenced by his ability to communicate, Ko-Guy is at least a grade 2 cursed spirit with high combat abilities that surpass some semi-grade 1 curses.[2] He is more intelligent than most curses, but the grasshopper curse isn't very smart compared to a typical jujutsu sorcerer. In Shibuya, he was given two simple tasks: guarding the commissioned curtain and killing non-sorcerers.[3]

Despite having natural physical prowess superior to a normal human, Yuji was far superior in physical skill and easily defeated the curse.[4] Mahito mentioned that it must have taken a strong jujutsu sorcerer to defeat him.[1]

Jujutsu

Cursed Energy Manipulation
High Cursed Energy: Ko-Guy was formed from the combined hate, fear, and resentment associated with the grasshopper plague. He did not appear to have the ability to use cursed techniques, since he was a curse with cursed energy levels associated with grade 2.
Cursed Spirit Physiology
Curse of the Grasshopper Plague (Anime) Grasshopper Physiology: As a grasshopper curse, Ko-Guy claims to have arms, jaws, and eyes all far superior to humans. All the abilities of normal grasshoppers can be adapted for combat as well.[5] He can shoot black mucus from his mouth, and expand his abdomen to stab his opponents.
Grasshopper Curse jumping and biting (Anime) Enhanced Jumping and Biting Power: Ko-Guy can use his strong legs and powerful jaw to rapidly move across a contained area and bite everything in sight. His jaws can gnaw clean through a metal sign, let alone human flesh.[6]
Grasshopper Curse spitting black mucus (Anime) Black Mucus: During a grasshopper plague disaster, the black mucus excreted by the grasshoppers covered all the land the swarm went over.[7] Ko-Guy can spit out the same mucus from his mouth as a projectile.[8]
Grasshopper Curse sneak attacks Yuji (Anime)

Expandable Abdomen: A grasshopper's abdomens expand and contract so they can lay eggs deep in the ground. The tip is hard and can expand up to three times his normal length. Ko-Guy can extend his abdomen quickly as a surprise attack to stab an opponent. He attempted to use this in a sneak attack against Yuji but failed.[9]
