Juzo Kumiya (組 (くみ) 屋 (や) 鞣 (じゅう) 造 (ぞう) , Kumiya Jūzō^?) is a minor antagonist in the Jujutsu Kaisen series. He is a brash curse user who helped Pseudo-Geto's group during their invasion of the Goodwill Event.

Appearance

Juzo is a large muscular man that has a bald head and dark markings that cover his eyes and the bridge of his nose.

Juzo wears a dark colored apron over his bare chest, dark colored pants, and dark colored boots with metal tips.

Personality

Juzo is a very aggressive man who is very openly out of his mind. He's crazy, doesn't follow orders, and desires to only to kill people and use their corpses to make "hanger racks". Because cursed spirits don't leave a body behind when they're exorcised, Juzo has no interest at all in them.

Juzo prefers his victims to be young women or someone strong because he can make something nice out of them. For this same reason, killing old men doesn't interest him as much and taking out more prized targets always take priority. Juzo is so crazy and foolhardy in his way that he would even challenge Satoru Gojo, immediately marking him as a target for a perfect hanger rack.

Synopsis

History

When Pseudo-Geto talks with the cursed spirits about invading the Tokyo college, Geto says that they will use Juzo since he is disposable. Before invading the Tokyo college, Juzo gave one of his allies a sword that he had made.

Kyoto Goodwill Event Arc

Juzo invades the Tokyo college, along with Mahito, Hanami and another curse user. Once inside, Juzo creates a screen that encloses the site that the event is happening at, restricting only Gojo from entering while allowing other shamans to enter.

After the screen has covered the site, Juzo heads off and encounters Utahime and Yoshinobu. When Yoshinobu sends Utahime off, Juzo is disappointed that he will have to face a decrepit old man that he can't make anything out of. Juzo manages to figure out Yoshinobu's ability and get excited since he plans to turn the old man into a wallet.

When Gojo breaks through the screen, Juzo gets excited that he will be able to turn Gojo into a hanger rack. As Juzo goes to try and attack Gojo, Gojo easily manages to crushes Juzo's arms and legs, restricting him from moving.

After the invaders have been dealt with, Juzo is interrogated but doesn't reveal much.

Abilities and Powers

Overall Skill: Juzo is a curse user with the ability to create weapons and use barriers. Combined with his aggressive and reckless nature, he's a dangerous opponent. Kyoto Jujutsu High's Principal Yoshinobu considered Juzo a formidable opponent despite not being as strong as the special grade cursed spirits. However, Pseudo-Geto felt that Juzo was expendable for their cause mostly due to his attitude and refusal to follow orders.

Expert Weapons Specialist: Juzo wields his axe in battle well enough to fend off Yoshinobu's waves of cursed energy. He's also an adept craftsman, having a workshop where he built cursed tools. He has forged Haruto Shigemo's sword for him. Dragon-Bone was his personal masterpiece, the finest cursed tool in his collection, which was later obtained by Maki Zenin.

Jujutsu

Cursed Energy Manipulation
High Cursed Energy: As a curse user, Juzo was able to see curses and sense the cursed energy of other sorcerers. He is also able to use barrier techniques and cursed objects such as a Commissioned Curtain.

Barrier Techniques
	After setting up a Commissioned Curtain and starting the process of forming the barrier, Juzo was able to fully activate the barrier with jujutsu.

Equipment

Conventional Weaponry
	Juzo carries around a large axe that serves as his primary weapon in battle. He also uses this axe to implant his commissioned curtains to the ground.

Cursed Objects
	"Commissioned Curtains" are cursed objects that can be programmed to activate barriers with special conditions. The one Juzo activated could summon a barrier capable of keeping Satoru Gojo out for thirty minutes at the cost of allowing all other sorcerers to pass through at will.
