Biodata
| Feature | Value |
|---|---|

| Gender | Male 17 |
| Age | Human body is almost 25 years old 17 |
| Nationality | Chinese 17 |
| Affiliation | Tokyo Jujutsu High, initially joining in name only 9 |
| Occupation/Role | Bounty hunter, cursed-spirit exorcist, cursed-tool craftsman, and student trainer 8 10 46 |
| Power Source | Tso Lan, the Moon Demon, through a system-granted template 1 |

| Status | Alive 50 |
| First Appearance | Chapter 1 1 |
Power Progression
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tso Lan template acquired | 1 24 | Received the complete template upon arriving in the world, gaining access to portions of Tso Lan’s power, knowledge, and combat instincts. The initial influx caused him to collapse outside Jujutsu High. |
| Moon Demon — 33% fusion | 1 4 | First displayed fusion level. Progress had stalled because ordinary Special Grade Cursed Spirits no longer provided experience; defeating Eclipse produced no increase. |
| Moon Demon — 35% fusion | 15 | Exorcising Hōzō raised integration from 33% to 35%, exceeding Wangchuan’s expectation of a one-point reward. |
| Fusion increased with two Demon Coins | 28 | Spent both available coins and gained complete knowledge of two resurrection techniques. No final percentage is displayed in the passage. |
| Moon Demon — 40% fusion | 31 | Defeating three Special Grades with All Things Return awarded five percentage points. The notification explicitly reports 35% → 40%, despite the earlier coin-funded increase. |
- Combat progression: Relatively powerful Special Grade Cursed Spirits can increase fusion; merely holding the Special Grade classification does not guarantee a reward 1 4 15.
- Paid progression: One Demon Coin costs 10 billion yen and raises fusion by one percentage point. Only legally obtained income can be exchanged; stolen money is invalid 1 4.
- Long-term objective: At 33% fusion, Wangchuan calculated that completing Tso Lan’s template through payment alone would cost 670 billion yen. He also intended to obtain the seven remaining demon templates 4.
Background / History
Arrival and bounty hunting
Before entering the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, Wangchuan was an ordinary corporate worker. His system supplied Tso Lan’s template immediately after his arrival, overwhelming him with unfamiliar knowledge and memories. He collapsed outside Jujutsu High, where Utahime Iori helped him during the ensuing commotion 1 24.
Wangchuan subsequently worked as a bounty hunter. While vacationing in Miami, he accepted Gojo’s offer of 100 million yen to exorcise a hospital curse in Tokyo. He defeated Eclipse without injury, but received no fusion progress because the spirit was too weak to qualify 1 3 4.
Joining Jujutsu High
After returning to Japan, Wangchuan met Yuta Okkotsu and briefly restrained Rika with gravity before reassuring Yuta that he meant no harm. Gojo asked him to become someone the students could rely on, and Wangchuan agreed to join Jujutsu High in name under favorable terms 7 8 9.
Mei Mei then offered him 1.5 billion yen for a Special Grade mission at a commercial complex. Defeating Hōzō increased his template fusion to 35%. Suguru Geto approached him afterward with an invitation to join the Time Vessel Association, which Wangchuan declined by demanding 600 billion yen in cash—a sum Geto could not provide 10 15.
Sendai and dealings with Geto
In Sendai, Wangchuan recognized Yuji Itadori and anticipated the appearance of Sukuna’s finger. Yuji intervened when delinquents attempted to rob him, unaware that Wangchuan needed no protection. The two became acquainted and spent time exploring the city 17 18.
Wangchuan also sold Geto a mirror capable of imprisoning cursed spirits. During their conversation, he acknowledged both Geto’s killings and his rescue of Mimiko and Nanako. He refused to claim that he understood Geto’s despair, but condemned Geto’s willingness to turn against his own family 18 20 21.
Kyoto and Mount Yoshida
Wangchuan visited Utahime in Kyoto and offered to remove her facial scar, which he later successfully healed. Meanwhile, the Jujutsu Higher-Ups deliberately assigned her students a dangerous cursed-womb mission, expecting his attachment to Utahime to draw him into intervening 24 25 34.
When three Special Grade Cursed Spirits threatened the students on Mount Yoshida, Wangchuan flew to their aid, healed Aoi Todo, and destroyed all three with All Things Return. He recovered Sukuna’s finger from the mirror spirit. Kenjaku later examined the resulting crater and identified the extraordinary precision of Wangchuan’s gravitational compression 28 30 31 33.
Resurrection plans and the Death Paintings
Wangchuan’s resurrection knowledge attracted interest from Yuta and Kento Nanami, who sought help concerning Rika and Haibara respectively. Wangchuan confirmed that resurrection was possible, while emphasizing conditions involving the soul and, for his plans concerning Haibara, the need for Xirang from the moon 37 43 46.
He exchanged Sukuna’s finger for the nine Cursed Womb: Death Paintings and deliberately publicized his resurrection abilities through Mei Mei. His goal was to attract wealthy, powerful clients rather than conceal his abilities from them 43 44.
After retrieving Xirang from deep within the moon, Wangchuan used it and the Moon Demon’s Demonic Energy to remake Choso as a human. Choso accepted tasks from him in exchange for the prospect of his brothers living happily as humans. Wangchuan later offered information about Choso’s tenth brother as an additional incentive 49 50.
Appearance
- Human form: Tall, handsome, and youthful enough to be mistaken for a student despite being almost 25. His everyday clothing includes casual T-shirts and trousers; he wears a black T-shirt and black trousers when arriving at Mount Yoshida 17 29.
- Demon form: Pale-blue skin, blood-red eyes, pointed ears, fangs, a long tongue, and purplish-black hair longer than his body. He has four arms—a large pair at the shoulders and a smaller pair beneath the armpits—and wears long red-and-purple hanfu robes 48 49.
- Partial transformation: Can alter only part of his face, briefly displaying a demonic eye, pale skin, and an elongated tongue without fully transforming 44.
Personality
Wangchuan habitually presents himself as lazy, irreverent, and mercenary. He negotiates aggressively, teases Gojo, and mocks dangerous cursed spirits while barely changing his relaxed posture. His pursuit of money has a practical purpose: legitimate earnings directly fund his template progression 1 4 10.
His claim that money matters more than people does not fully match his actions. Gojo openly challenges this façade; Wangchuan gives Inumaki a custom Special Grade tool for free, rescues the Kyoto students, and pursues resurrection partly because he does not want to lose people he cares about 8 28 42.
His compassion is selective rather than universal. He tells Geto that he does not care whether most people live or die and admits that, in Geto’s position, he might have killed even more people. Family loyalty is a firmer boundary: he states that he could not turn his back on his own family 20 21.
Transformation affects more than his appearance. In Tso Lan’s body, his speech becomes formal and elder-like, and his thoughts, emotions, and memories shift. After returning to human form, he describes the experience as leaving his head in a mess, as though he had merged with another soul 48 49.
Abilities & Skills
Moon Demon Template
- Grants inherited magical knowledge, memories, and combat instincts; additional information continues surfacing even outside explicit fusion increases 1.
- Lists conceptual immortality, molecular regeneration, no weaknesses, and limitless magical power/Cursed Energy among his traits 1.
- Automatically adapts his power to a world’s energy system. His true demon form can use Demonic Energy directly 1.
- His demonstrated independence from Jujutsu Society rests partly on this power: its leaders acknowledge that they cannot control him or compel him to share his abilities 48.
Gravity Mastery
Wangchuan’s innate cursed technique controls gravitational force with enough precision to distinguish allies from targets 1 31.
- Flight and levitation: Suspends himself, objects, and cursed spirits in midair 1 7 13.
- Restraint and compression: Immobilizes Rika and crushes Eclipse into an egg-sized mass before its destruction 4 7.
- Training fields: Subjects students to increased gravity, including tenfold suppression, to prepare them for the Goodwill Event 42 46.
- Selective targeting: Leaves Todo unaffected while drawing surrounding debris and three Special Grades toward his palm 31.
Moon Force Field
- Automatically maintains a gravitational barrier around his body 4.
- Redirects approaching physical attacks and jujutsu rather than stopping them through the same mechanism as Gojo’s Limitless 4.
- Deflects tentacles, shattered glass, shock waves, and torrents of Cursed Energy during his battle with Eclipse 4.
All Things Return
- Redefines the direction of “down” for affected objects, drawing them toward a point at Wangchuan’s palm 31.
- Compresses targets and crushes their Cursed Energy as they converge 31.
- Destroys three Special Grade Cursed Spirits in one use while sparing Todo behind him 31.
Domain Expansion: Guanghan Collapsing Moon Realm
- Replaces Hōzō’s domain with a deep-purple sky, an enormous full moon, silver moonlight, and concentric runic patterns 14.
- Subjects all targets to a Gravity Judgment every half second 14.
- Randomly applies effects including uncontrolled weightlessness and supergravity suppression 14.
Healing and Resurrection
- Reverse Cursed Technique output: Heals Todo’s shoulder, ribs, and hand without leaving scars 30.
- Physical restoration magic: Removes Utahime’s old facial scar 34 35.
- Resurrection techniques: Masters two methods—returning a soul to a damaged body and repairing it, or reconstructing a vessel when the original body has been annihilated 28.
- Soul requirement: Explains that resurrection requires the person’s soul to remain in the soul passage, commonly called Hell 37.
- Limits: Ordinary physical restoration cannot resolve Mechamaru’s Heavenly Restriction because its cause lies in the soul rather than bodily damage. Wangchuan nevertheless states that he has other methods 35 36.
Soul and Body Reconstruction
- Bypasses the Death Paintings’ cabinet seals and begins rewriting Choso’s soul 48.
- Builds Choso a human body from self-renewing Xirang, using Demonic Energy for its skeleton and incorporating Blood Manipulation into his soul 49.
- Designs the body for rapid regeneration, limb regrowth, inexhaustible blood, and sustained technique power. Wangchuan describes it as nearly immortal unless erased instantaneously 49.
- Implants modern knowledge and information about himself directly into Choso’s soul 49.
Magic and Cursed-Tool Crafting
- Combines Tso Lan’s spell knowledge with the world’s Cursed Energy rules to manufacture custom Special Grade tools 10.
- Uses a technique that infuses magic into objects and solidifies it into a tool 10.
- Demonstrates the ability to erase and restore a sorcerer’s Cursed Technique, alarming the Jujutsu Higher-Ups 47 48.

Relationships
- Satoru Gojo — Friend, client, and recruiter. Gojo trusts him to protect the students and recognizes concern beneath his mercenary persona; Wangchuan regularly responds with teasing and exaggerated business demands 1 8 9 10.
- Utahime Iori — Helped him after his arrival. Their later closeness includes flirtation, his removal of her scar, and his stay in Kyoto’s faculty housing. Students speculate about romance, but no formal relationship is confirmed 24 29 34 35 36.
