Madara

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Madara originates from Earth and receives the abilities and memories of Madara Uchiha without inheriting the original warrior’s body. His new identity is that of an orphan living alone in Tokyo, supported by a small inheritance and part-time work. Although the template supplies extraordinary knowledge, he initially has the strength, stamina, and reactions of an ordinary fifteen-year-old 2 4 5.

A cursed spirit attacks his apartment building and kills his landlady. Madara exorcises it, closes the victim’s eyes, and comforts her frightened dog. Yuta Okkotsu and Maki Zenin discover him at the scene and, following Gojo’s instructions, bring him to Jujutsu High without notifying the higher-ups 3 4.

During his interview with Masamichi Yaga, Madara explains that he wants to become a sorcerer to find meaning in his existence. He settles into a dormitory and begins training with the other students. What initially seems to him like playing a role gradually becomes a genuine sense of belonging 6 12 16.

Appearance

Madara has black hair, naturally black eyes, and a slender, straight-backed figure. He normally wears Jujutsu High’s dark uniform 5 8 32.

• Sharingan: Scarlet irises containing rotating black tomoe 8 71.
• Mangekyō Sharingan: A kaleidoscopic pattern replaces the tomoe when activated 9.
• Rinnegan: Purple eyes patterned with concentric circles 23 34.
• Left eye: Permanently loses its sight after Izanagi; he keeps the eyelid closed following the final battle 111 112.

Personality

Madara’s composure initially unsettles those around him. Inherited memories of slaughter suppress much of his ordinary horror, allowing him to remain controlled at a bloody crime scene. That detachment coexists with quiet compassion: he apologizes to his dead landlady, comforts her dog, and makes sure someone will care for it 3 4.

His early pursuit of strength is driven primarily by fear—of losing, failing to change the future, and watching his companions die. He also conceals his full power because he worries that the friends he has finally found will see him as a monster. Gojo repeatedly warns him that determination and overwhelming strength can become self-righteousness if he loses sight of his humanity 17 19 36 77.

As a senior, Madara tries to preserve opportunities for others to grow without treating suffering as inherently necessary. He allows juniors to confront manageable danger, but rejects the idea that Itadori must endure Junpei’s death to mature. He likewise insists that Junpei should choose his own future 28 32 58.

He can be playful with friends and openly contemptuous toward enemies. His prank on Gojo contrasts sharply with his dismissive treatment of hostile curses and corrupt elders. By the final battle, his desire for safety has also developed into a genuine pursuit of transcendence: he encourages Sukuna to become stronger in the hope of discovering a higher level himself 43 76 99 103 109.

Abilities & Skills

Innate Cursed Technique: Madara Uchiha

His technique reproduces the abilities of the existence known as Madara Uchiha, rather than being limited to one ocular power or ninjutsu 23.

• Inherited knowledge includes ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, weapon handling, and battlefield analysis 2 8.
• Familiar abilities manifest in this world through cursed energy 16 36.
• Access to knowledge does not initially provide the physical conditioning needed to execute it 2 9.

Sharingan and Rinnegan

His ocular abilities provide combat perception, resistance to mental interference, and access to powerful techniques 8 9 77 99.

• Movement analysis: Reads attack trajectories and bodily cues, enabling precise counters against physically superior opponents 9.
• Cursed energy perception: Tracks cursed energy, though Madara explicitly distinguishes this from the Six Eyes’ ability to see through things 14.
• Inner-domain access: Enters Itadori’s inner domain to confront Sukuna 26.
• Mental resistance: Makes the higher-ups’ attempt to manipulate his thinking largely ineffective 77.
• Rinnegan: Appears during domain use and the invocation of Tengai Shinsei 23 57 99.

Susanoo

Susanoo is a blue energy construct that Madara uses for defense, restraint, and large-scale attacks. Gojo initially identifies its incomplete manifestation as an unusually powerful shikigami 9 10.

• Madara adjusts its size to avoid unnecessary structural damage 24.
• His Wood Clone can use a four-armed Susanoo against a domain’s exterior 55.
• Susanoo cannot remain active while he uses Domain Amplification 18.

Wood Release and Wood Clones

Wood Release provides restraints, battlefield control, and independently operating clones 25 32 51 99.

• Restraint: Sprouts wooden vines beneath Mahito to bind his ankles 51.
• Deep Forest Emergence: Creates a vast forest that his clones combine with Majestic Destroyer Flame to trap Sukuna in a burning battlefield 99.
• Remote operations: Uses clones for missions, training juniors, and surveillance while his original body acts elsewhere 25 32 43.
• Information gathering: Receives sensory information from a clone and deploys clones across Tokyo and the Kanto Region for nearly a month to locate Kenjaku 25 91.
• Limitation: A Wood Clone cannot reproduce the original’s full technique or energy quality, particularly soul-related abilities such as Yin-Yang Release 52.

Domain Expansion: Heavenly Imperial Pillars

His domain manifests as a white space containing rotating stone pillars, suffused with his cursed energy 23 91.

• Completes it after recognizing the nature of his innate technique 23.
• Uses it against Mahito and Kenjaku in the sewers 57.
• Later traps Kenjaku and his cursed spirits while deliberately leaving Megumi and Nobara outside 91.
• Sukuna immediately retreats more than a hundred meters after revival to avoid being caught in it 94.

Barrier and Anti-Domain Techniques

Madara uses several distinct defenses against cursed techniques and domains 16 18 101.

• Simple Domain: A Wood Clone maintains it around his original body to block Malevolent Shrine’s sure-hit slashes 101.
• Domain Amplification: Weakens Limitless at close range but does not completely neutralize it 18.
• Amplification restriction: Requires him to stop using his own techniques, including the Sharingan and Susanoo 18.
• External domain assault: His clone attacks the outside of Mahito’s hastily developed domain with Susanoo, exploiting its weaker exterior 55.

Physical Combat and Black Flash

Training transforms his initially inadequate body into a major weapon 2 41 71.

• Combines reinforcement with enough raw speed to appear between Todo and Megumi without Todo detecting his approach 41.
• Develops close-combat strength that Gojo compares to Toji Fushiguro’s 70.
• Dominates Kashimo in close quarters using the Sharingan, reinforcement, and his trained body 71 72.
• Initially achieves consecutive Black Flashes through extreme concentration; later exchanges repeated Black Flash strikes with Sukuna using fists, elbows, and kicks 19 106.

Reverse Cursed Technique and Cursed Technique Reversal

Madara masters Reverse Cursed Technique and later learns Cursed Technique Reversal; the latter’s specific effect is not described in the supplied passages 43 111.

• Rapidly heals after being struck by Hollow Purple 70.
• Repairs the deep wound inflicted by Sukuna’s Black Flash 105 106.
• Uses Reverse Cursed Technique on Itadori to stabilize him after Sukuna’s purification 112.

Impure World Reincarnation

Madara revives deceased sorcerers using remains and a living sacrifice 60.

• Revives Angel using her finger bone and the body of a death-row prisoner 60.
• Secures Angel’s cooperation against Sukuna through their shared goal of erasing the Fallen 60.
• Has also used the technique on historically recorded sorcerers whose remains he could obtain, preserving contracts and media for later use 60.
• Stores Angel in a coffin underground until she is needed 60.

Other High-Level Techniques

• Tengai Shinsei: Summons a meteor against Sukuna, followed by a second, larger meteor after Malevolent Shrine begins destroying the first 99 101.
• Light Fang: Uses it while forcing entry through a Curtain specifically designed to exclude both him and Gojo 64.
• Black Rods: Controls the corpses of the higher-ups as puppets 77.
• Soul attacks: Confirms that his original body can attack souls after killing Mahito 58.
• Six Paths mode and Limbo: Border Jail: Confirms access to both while concealing his full arsenal 36.
• Izanagi: Rewrites the reality of his death at Sukuna’s hands, permanently blinding the left Sharingan used to cast it 111.

Equipment / Items

• Borrowed cursed-tool short sword — Lent by Maki for his test against Yuta; breaks under Yuta’s reinforced slash 8 9.
• Standard-issue cursed-tool tanto — Used at the ruined shrine; Madara notes its limited capacity for cursed energy 14.
• Locked, coded diary — Records anticipated events, Sukuna’s Fingers, contingency plans, and his intention to ensure Itadori survives 25.
• Sukuna’s Fingers — Uses a finger to imitate Itadori’s presence during the Kenjaku trap; later supplies the remaining fingers for Sukuna’s controlled revival 91 94.
• Reanimation scrolls, remains, and coffins — Materials and storage used for Impure World Reincarnation 60.

Relationships

• Satoru Gojo — Teacher and trusted ally. Recognizes Madara as someone capable of standing beside him, warns him against losing his humanity, and serves as backup during the Sukuna plan 27 77 94.
• Maki Zenin — Principal taijutsu instructor and frequent sparring partner. Her harsh training is crucial to overcoming his body’s early limitations 12 15 17.
• Yuta Okkotsu — Early test opponent and supportive training partner who patiently explains Madara’s weaknesses 8 9 12.
• Panda and Toge Inumaki — Friends and training partners. Panda develops his responses to power-based attacks, while Inumaki teaches him to maintain rhythm under Cursed Speech interference 6 12 16.
• Masamichi Yaga — Principal who questions his reasons for becoming a sorcerer and arranges his introduction to school life 6.
• Yuji Itadori — Junior whose survival becomes a central objective. Itadori places complete trust in him during the final exorcism plan, despite recognizing his habitual emotional distance 25 94 97.

• Angel — Reanimated ally recruited specifically for the fight against Sukuna 60 112.
• Ryomen Sukuna — Principal enemy and eventual test of transcendence. Madara seeks to exorcise him while preserving Itadori’s life 26 94 99 112.
• Kenjaku — Enemy whose movements Madara tracks through extensive clone surveillance before arranging an ambush 77 91.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Protecting Itadori

Madara uses his foreknowledge to prepare for Itadori’s arrival and resolves to prevent the binding vow that could follow his death. He intervenes during Sukuna’s confrontation with Megumi, then warns the restored Itadori that people within Jujutsu High want him dead. He and Gojo subsequently conceal Itadori’s survival from hostile higher-ups 25 26 29 30 32.

Mahito and Junpei

Rather than allow Junpei’s death to become a lesson for Itadori, Madara sets out to kill Mahito. His clone supports Itadori and Junpei while his original body ultimately hunts down the curse. After confirming Mahito’s death, he reunites Junpei with his mother and refuses Nanami’s offer of a Grade 1 recommendation until Sukuna is dead 32 52 57 58.

Goodwill Event and Ancient Sorcerers

Madara declines to compete so his juniors can gain experience and recognition. When the event is attacked, he breaks through a Curtain excluding him and Gojo, then confronts Kashimo. His performance demonstrates how far his physical conditioning and healing have advanced 43 64 70 71 72.

Replacing the Higher-Ups

The elders attempt to recruit him with forged evidence that Gojo murdered his parents, reinforced by a mind-influencing technique. Madara sees through the scheme, kills them, and controls their bodies with Black Rods to prevent further interference while maintaining institutional stability 76 77.

Trapping Kenjaku

After nearly a month of clone surveillance across Tokyo and Kanto, Madara impersonates Itadori and uses Sukuna’s Finger to reproduce his presence. He lures Kenjaku into Heavenly Imperial Pillars at Yasohachi Bridge while keeping Megumi and Nobara outside 91.

Complete Sukuna Exorcism Plan

Madara becomes the plan’s sole fighter, with Gojo standing by as backup. Itadori consumes the remaining fingers to restore Sukuna completely, allowing Madara to confront him under controlled conditions. Madara also seeks transcendence through the battle, deploying burning forests, successive meteors, Perfect Susanoo, and repeated Black Flashes 94 99 101 102 106.

Sukuna eventually kills him, but Izanagi reverses that outcome at the cost of his left eye. After Sukuna’s purification, Madara stabilizes the surviving Itadori and confirms that the King of Curses has been completely exorcised. Reunited with his companions, he finally admits his exhaustion and accepts Gojo’s offer to handle what follows 111 112.
