If we consider the character Mahito from the anime and manga series "Jujutsu Kaisen," there is an ongoing debate about whether he can be classified as a curse or a human. Mahito's unique nature and characteristics contribute to this discussion. At first glance, Mahito appears as a curse due to his physical appearance and abilities. The curses in "Jujutsu Kaisen" are supernatural beings that embody negative energy and cause harm to humans. Mahito possesses the characteristic cursed form and possesses powers associated with curses, such as manipulating souls and reshaping his own body. However, as the story unfolds, we learn more about Mahito's origins and his actions, blurring the line between curse and human.

Type of Villain
Sadomasochistic Misanthrope| “ | I'm the only person in this world who understands the composition of souls. After all, I change the shape of other creatures by making contact with them. All emotions are the result of the soul's metabolism. They're far to mechanical to call hearts. People place too much value on things they can't see. I can see them, and souls are no more special than Physical bodies. They're just there. Do you get it? There's no value or importance to life. Life just continues its cycle, same as the waters of the world. That's true for both you and me. Our lives are meaningless and have no value. And that's why we can do anything we want. We're free to live our lives however we please. You can't let yourself get trapped in an ideal of indifference. There's no need for consistency in how you live your life. Just as you eat when you get hungry, you can kill someone if you hate them. I'll sanction you fully. | „ |
| ~ Mahito encouraging Junpei into misanthropy. |
| “ | I bet you thought. You were gonna do some pest control! Or exterminate ghosts like some make-believe story! You came to Shibuya with half-assed determination, didn't ya?! How naïve, you stupid brat! This is war! Not a battle to fix what's wrong! But a clash of truths! You and your fragile justice! You are me, Yuji Itadori! I kill without a second thought. Just like how you save people without a second thought! The instincts of a curse. Against the so-called dignity of obtained human reason! It's a battle to determine who will be left standing in 100 years! How the hell did you think you were gonna beat me. When you don't even realize that? Tell me, Yuji Itadori. Have you ever stopped to think about how many curses you've killed? No, right? Me neither, me neither. Like I care about how many people I've killed. I'm sure I'll eventually forget about you too! | „ |
| ~ Mahito to Yuji Itadori after psychologically breaking him |
Mahito is the secondary antagonist of the anime/manga series Jujutsu Kaisen. He is a Cursed Spirit allied with Kenjaku, representing the hatred that humans feel for each other. His group's ultimate goal is the eradication of humanity and replacement of the population with Cursed Spirits. He became the archenemy of Yuji Itadori after killing Junpei Yoshino.
He was voiced by Nobunaga Shimazaki who also voiced Joffrey Baratheon in the Japanese dub of Game of Thrones and Tooru in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle R in Japanese and Lucien Dodge who also voiced Akaza in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba in English.
However, as the story unfolds, we learn more about Mahito's origins and his actions, blurring the line between curse and human. Mahito was once a human who became a curse, undergoing a transformation through an encounter with a curse. This transformation grants him the ability to manipulate souls, but it also leaves him with a deeply distorted worldview.

Mahito's behavior further challenges his classification. While most curses act on instinct and seek to harm humans, Mahito displays qualities that we typically associate with human psychology. He exhibits a level of curiosity and a desire to understand human existence, going as far as conducting experiments on humans to explore the limits of their emotions and physical forms. Additionally, Mahito's interactions with other characters provide further insight into his nature. He develops relationships with humans and curses alike, showing compassion in rare instances. Despite this, Mahito's core beliefs remain rooted in the concept of the valuelessness of life, which aligns more closely with curse ideology. It can be argued that Mahito represents a hybrid character, possessing traits of both curses and humans. While he physically resembles a curse and wields curse-like powers, his origin as a human and his psychological complexity set him apart from typical curses. Ultimately, the discussion of whether Mahito is a curse or a human blurs the lines between these distinct categories. His unique nature challenges our understanding of what it means to be a curse and raises questions about the complexities of humanity and identity..
