Synopsis

Gojo's Past Arc

Suguru summoning two strong Cursed Spirits (Anime)

Suguru summoning Kuchisake-Onna and Rainbow Dragon

During the Star Plasma Vessel Escort Mission, the team was attacked on the last day by the sorcerer killer Toji Fushiguro. Despite Satoru Gojo's efforts, Toji managed to get past him and killed the Star Plasma Vessel right in front of Suguru. In response, the special grade sorcerer summoned Kuchisake-Onna and Rainbow Dragon.[1]

During Suguru's battle with Toji, Kuchisake Onna trapped the Sorcerer Killer in her simple domain and asked him if she was pretty, Toji replied that she isn't his type, upsetting her. The domain was released and several floating scissors were summoned in close proximity to Toji's body, ready to sheer him into pieces. However, Toji effortlessly deflected all the blades with the Inverted Spear of Heaven, surprising the vengeful spirit.

Suguru attempted to absorb Toji's inventory cursed spirit but failed due to their master and servant relationship. Immediately after, Toji cut down both Suguru and Kuchisake-Onna, exorcising her and defeating the curse manipulator.[2]

Abilities and Powers

Overall Skill: Kuchisake-Onna was a cursed spirit of an unknown rank. She was one of Suguru Geto's strongest curses when he was a second-year student. It possessed the ability to communicate and had a cursed technique, meaning Kuchisake-Onna was likely semi-grade 1 or above.[3] Toji was mildly impressed with her abilities but the cursed spirit proved to be no match for his physical prowess.

Cursed Technique

Simple Domain
Kuchisake-Onna's simple domain forces a binding vow of non-violence between her and her target until her question is answered. Once the question has been answered, Kuchisake-Onna can attack with her scissors, conjuring numerous shears around the target.[4]
