Mahito

Background

A cursed spirit born from humanity's hatred and fear of each other. Mahito's Idle TransfigurationIdle TransfigurationMahito's innate technique. He reshapes a soul by touching it, and because the body follows the shape of the soul, the body changes with it. On himself it is a defence nothing physi... allows him to reshape souls through physical contact, and since the body follows the soul, touching someone lets him turn them into anything: monsters, weapons, compressed balls, or simply dead.

Mahito is the series' most personal antagonist. He killed Junpei, transfigured Nanami, struck Nobara, and tormented Yuji psychologically throughout their encounters. Every atrocity served his goal of pushing Yuji into despair while Mahito himself grew stronger through the conflict.

His own death was appropriately ironic, cornered by the boy he'd spent the whole series trying to break, then absorbed by KenjakuKenjakuHumanAn ancient sorcerer who has survived for over a thousand years by transferring his brain into different host bodies. Each body grants him access to that person's innate technique w... through Uzumaki. The cursed spirit of human malice became fuel for a plan to reshape humanity itself.
