why i love mahito

i desperately need to rant about his character because my god, hes so well written its mind blowing.

i get asked quite a bit why mahito is my favourite character, of course, i love his appearance. but i also love how beautifully complex his character is.

unlike many other anime villains, hes not evil because of trauma or revenge hes evil just because. hes evil because he follows his instincts as a curse and thats just who he is. he enjoys killing people because its fun, theres no "for the greater good of society" or "i need to prove myself" sort of tropes about him.

(i will add that i actually don’t think he’s inherently evil at all. but that will be for another post)

but this fact also doesnt make him one dimensional how alot of "pure evil" villains are.

due to the relationships established around him, the multiple different dynamics make for an even more interesting character. mahito's dynamic with the diaster curses is one of my favourites. hes shown to care about them as seen where mahito stops haruta from killing an injured hanami, where he scolds geto for putting jogo in danger and also saying he doesnt want to fight jogo when they have a disagreement to what to do with yuji regarding the shibuya plan.

he is shown to care about his friends in his own curse-y way.

mahito is an absolutely beautifully well written and developed character.

hes made to be scary, his actions have consequences

*spoilers*

mahito killing junpei, nanami and nobara all prove this. he killed them because he wanted to break yuji and this also additionally adds another level to his character, hes a genuinely frightening villain because every scene hes in, we have no idea what to expect from him.

*spoilers over*

even his dynamic with sukuna was interesting. sukuna had a few opportunites to kill mahito, he let him off for touching his soul because they both shared a laugh about breaking yuji, which coming from a character like sukuna was very interesting.

mahito embodies what sukuna says to jogo about what being a cursed spirit entails. and i think thats why theres some level of mutual interest. mahito is exactly what jogo couldnt be. and thats also another reason the disaster curses made mahito their leader.

mahito is what a true curse is.

do yu ever think mahito gets cuteness agression to humans

like he sees a person yawn in public and goes "awww big yawn" and sticks his finger into their mouth like people do with cats

and then when they get horrified he turns them into a my singing monsters character

what do the other 14 mahito fans headcanon mahito to smell like?

after analysing his character i’ve come up with my own:

the first note is wet dog and rain water, comes from him living in a sewer and not really washing his clothes, his hair probably gets wet and gives it that wet dog scent

second note would be blood because he literally kills people, i think it’s the metallic smell that hovers in the back of your throat

and finally a sweet rot sort of scent, something that’s super subtle but you can still catch it, i think this comes from him being a cursed spirit and it represents his nature of being deceiving.

thank you for coming to my HC infodump

a few months back, I went to my first anime convention and I’d just finished jjk at the time. I was (and still am) super into the anime and loved Mahito and Gojo specifically (that hasn’t changed either), so I wanted to find figures of them. well I ended up getting two Mahito figures and two Gojo figures, but when I was at a stall to buy my second Mahito, the guy selling it was like “oh you like jjk? I think I have another one too” and he goes to look through the shelves. I’m just waiting behind him with my already purchased first Mahito figure when he pulls out a Maki figure and he’s like “would you like this one better?” and I politely declined,, he asked if I was sure like twice and then eventually went along with the original Mahito,, but that was so funny bc he was just like trying to convince me not to get a Mahito ���� I think he said smth like “that’s the first one of that character I’ve sold today” which made it funnier
