Sorcerer Family

Sorcerer Families are clans of jujutsu sorcerers that pass down inherited cursed techniques through generations. These attributes make sorcerer clans prominent figures in the jujutsu world. This is especially true for the Big Three Sorcerer Families who hold the most prestige and influence due to their bloodlines' innate talent for jujutsu.

Big Three Sorcerer Families
The three great sorcerer families of the jujutsu world are the Zenin Family, the Gojo Family, and the Kamo Family. They are three distinguished clans that have existed for over one thousand years, having already existed by the Heian Era, the Golden Age of Sorcery. Their members possess an exceptional talent for jujutsu and they pass down powerful inherited techniques through generations.

The Big Three Sorcerer Families possess great influence and political prominence in the jujutsu world. Alongside jujutsu headquarters, they are in contact with the Japanese government and were key in establishing the memorandum regarding the obligations of jujutsu sorcerers. The head of Jujutsu Headquarters is appointed by the Prime Minister based on nominations from the Big Three. The principal of Jujutsu High is appointed by the head of Jujutsu Headquarters also based on nominations from the Big Three.

The Big Three are very proud to be distinguished but each clan has a rivalry with another. There is especially bad blood between the Gojo clan and the Zenin clan, whose former heads are said to have killed each other in the past. Each of the Big Three keeps tabs on each other, including information on their inherited techniques. The prior head of the Zenin Family, Naobito Zenin, has stated he wouldn't mind the Gojo Family going out of power despite Satoru Gojo being the deterrent from Japan falling into chaos.

Other Sorcerer Families
There are various other sorcerer families as well. One such clan is the Inumaki Family, who are cursed speech users who inherited the technique. While not on the same level as the Big Three, the Inumaki clan is respected and their signature technique has existed for generations. A prominent sorcery family of the past was the Fujiwara clan, whose members were among the strongest sorcerers of the Heian period.

Zenin Family
The Zenin Family is a combat-oriented clan where those in control only value and respect power. The sorcerers of the Zenin clan place an emphasis on talent in sorcery above all else to the point where they will oppress even their own relatives. Their ideology is self-righteous and archaic but the fighting strength of the clan is very potent. Enough so that they constructed battle units in order to defend the jujutsu world.

Following the Shibuya Incident, the Zenin clan was fractured when Megumi was named Naobito's successor. Naoya, Ogi, and Jinichi attempted to stop this by assassinating Megumi, Maki, and Mai under the pretense of criminally unsealing Gojo. Mai sacrificed herself for Maki and her sister gained an unmatched body of steel in return. Maki destroyed the Zenin clan as revenge for Mai and the decision to expel them from the Big Three is currently on hold.

Gojo Family
The Gojo Family is a clan that who descends from Michizane Sugawara, one of Japan's renowned Big Three Vengeful Spirits. While the Gojo Family has other members, Satoru Gojo is the clan head and is considered the modern era's strongest one-man act. One could say he wields all the power of the Gojo clan, as the family's political influence is comparable in strength to Satoru's inherited jujutsu in terms of power. This empowers Satoru to act selfishly and protect people like Yuji Itadori and Yuta Okkotsu against the unreasonable nature of the more conservative members of the jujutsu community.

Kamo Family
The Kamo Family is considered the core of the conservative faction at the heart of jujutsu headquarters and are close with the higher-ups of jujutsu headquarters. They are an orthodox group who value tradition and blood lineage above all else but they carry a stain they cannot wipe away on their family history. In the past, they expelled the evilest sorcerer in history, Noritoshi Kamo, whose name is recanted to this day.

After the Shibuya Incident, Kenjaku took over the Kamo family and replaced the clan head without anyone knowing. The once proud sorcerer clan has been reduced to a puppet for the curse user.

Inumaki Family
The Inumaki Family is not one of the Big Three Families, but they are a widely recognized sorcerer clan made up of cursed speech users marked with the Snake Eyes and Fangs sigil across their mouths.

Fujiwara Family
The Fujiwara Family, also known as the Toh, was a prominent sorcerer family during the golden age of jujutsu. They had at least two elite squadrons of sorcerers including the Sun, Moon, and Stars Squad of the Northern Fujiwara forces. It was a team of assassins who lived in darkness and forsook their names. They were led by Takako Uro, who was given a name only to be framed and sentenced to death for killing another member of the clan.

The Five Empty Generals were another force directly serving the Toh that equaled the Sun, Moon, and Stars Squad. They were once bested by Yorozu who was acknowledged by the clan and was appointed to the capital from her home in Aizu. Both the Sun, Moon, and Stars Squad and the Five Empty Generals were crushed by Sukuna.
