Power Progression
Yue Liusi’s official sorcerer titles do not always reflect his combat strength. He deliberately requests particular ranks to satisfy the Hokage System’s advancement missions 4 12.
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Starter techniques | 1 | Receives the Hokage System’s starter pack and fights using kunai, the Three Basic Techniques, Basic Taijutsu, and explosive tags. |
| Genin / One-Tomoe Sharingan | 1 | Completes the Genin mission after Mei Mei recognizes him as a sorcerer and assigns him perimeter rescue work. The mission rewards the One-Tomoe Sharingan. |
| Phoenix Flower Jutsu | 1 2 | Completes the system’s “defeat one Genin” quest by defeating a monster; subsequently uses its fire-ninjutsu reward against a Semi-Grade 1 curse. |
| Grade 1 combat strength | 3 4 | Obtains Water Dragon Bullet Technique through a mission. Combined with approximately one Kakashi’s worth of chakra, it brings his strength to Grade 1. |
| Semi-Grade 2 registration / Lava Release | 4 | Requests Semi-Grade 2 rather than Grade 1 to ensure the system recognizes his Chunin mission. Registration completes the mission and awards Lava Release. |
| Flying Thunder God Technique | 4 5 6 | Offered for bullying Sukuna’s vessel. After berating Yuji, he is shown placing and using Flying Thunder God marks. |
| Ame-no-Murakumo Sword | 4 7 | Offered for engaging Mahito in combat; first explicitly shown wielding the sword against Dagon. |
| Advanced Taijutsu Mastery | 8 | A completed task improves his physical attributes, restores stamina, and replenishes chakra during the Dagon–Toji battle. |
| Lava Release Chakra Mode | 9 10 | Develops the mode under pressure from Toji after discovering that simply coating himself in lava restricts his movements. The completed mode lets him fight Toji on equal terms. |
| Jonin / Special Grade 1 registration | 12 | Naobito Zenin’s support helps secure his Special Grade 1 title. The “Advance to Jonin” mission completes and awards Summoning Technique. |
| Mystical Palm Technique | 13 15 | Completes the leisure task requiring chocolate daifuku and takoyaki, earning Medical Ninjutsu. |
| Chakra Control Mastery | 16 | Explicitly possesses mastered chakra control, improving precision and providing a foundation for learning Reverse Cursed Technique. |
| Rasengan | 16 17 20 | Completes the mission to subdue Sukuna’s vessel after guiding Yuji toward a renewed purpose; later uses Rasengan against Kenjaku. |
| Black Flash | 18 19 | Studies other fighters’ Black Flash applications, then lands two against Mahito, deepening his understanding of his power. |
| Three-Tomoe Sharingan | 20 | Explicitly demonstrated while locating Kenjaku after his surroundings are plunged into darkness. |
| Basic Reverse Cursed Technique | 22 | After several days of Shoko’s instruction using Choso as a teaching subject, gains basic practical use of the technique. |
| Official Special Grade | 23 | Receives certification, but the title alone does not complete the system’s Kage-level mission. |
| Combined regenerative techniques | 25 | Fuses Reverse Cursed Technique with Mystical Palm Technique, greatly raising his self-healing capacity. External positive-energy output remains unfinished at this point. |
| Stabilized foundation | 26 27 | Accepting his place among his companions produces smoother power circulation and greater harmony of the soul rather than a simple increase in raw strength. |
| Kage-level mission / Yin Nine-Tails | 30 31 | The mission completes after his confrontation with the Higher-Ups. Receives Yin Nine-Tails and becomes a perfect jinchūriki with unrestricted access to its chakra. |
| Kurama Mode | 31 32 | Tests the perfected Nine-Tails Chakra Mode against Yuta, overwhelming him with speed and strength. |
| Rasenshuriken | 33 | Identifies it as a system-provided technique, sparing him the need to develop it himself. |
| Barrier Techniques | 35 | Learns from Tengen and creates a small autonomous barrier within minutes. |
| Demon eyes power | 37 38 | Combines ocular power with Nine-Tails chakra to stabilize Mai’s soul-deceiving barrier. The experiment also improves his soul knowledge, genjutsu, and barrier proficiency. |
| Impure World Reincarnation | 40 | First shown performing the forbidden technique, using White Zetsu and bodily tissue to summon Jogo, Suguru Geto, and Toji. |
| Lava-enhanced Nine-Tails cloak | 43 | Fuses Lava Release Chakra Mode with Nine-Tails chakra, strengthening the cloak’s offense, defense, and physical enhancements. |
| Preliminary Construction Technique | 47 | Understands how his chakra can analyze an Innate Technique through body, soul, and brain; demonstrates the result by creating a small stone. |
| External healing and combat Construction | 49 50 | Restores Uro using external Reverse Cursed Technique and Mystical Palm Technique, then employs constructed flying swords and a giant sword against Ryu. |
Appearance
- Youthful appearance: Mai and Nobara consider him close to the students’ age, although he states that he is older than Yuji and the others. No exact age is established 17 25 27.
- Attractive features: Yuki finds him good-looking, while Nobara insists that letting his appearance go to waste through poor clothing choices is unacceptable 21 25.
- Lean but sturdy build: Yuki describes him as somewhat skinny compared with Aoi Todo, but physically robust 21.
- Scarlet eyes: His activated Sharingan produces conspicuous blood-red eyes; Shoko finds them unsettling at their first meeting 5.
- Chakra cloaks: Kurama Mode gives him a golden appearance. Its later Lava Release fusion flows over him like a clear liquid rather than ordinary flames 32 43.
Personality
Yue Liusi initially prioritizes survival and system missions. He avoids stronger opponents when victory is uncertain, treating Flying Thunder God as an escape option rather than a reason to challenge Sukuna prematurely. Once he has an advantage, he prefers decisive action over prolonged conversation 2 4 15.
His confidence is accompanied by calculation and irreverence. Yaga describes him as “as calculating as Geto, yet as unruly as Satoru,” while Sukuna recognizes arrogance beneath his calm composure. He also actively seeks difficult fights when they offer a controlled opportunity to improve, using Toji as a whetstone rather than retreating 4 9 16.
He is openly partial to his companions. His early concern for Shoko’s feelings develops into genuine attachment to her and the students, eventually ending his sense of being an outside spectator. Despite favoring drastic action against the Higher-Ups, he hesitates over the suffering that dismantling their organization might cause 23 26 27.
His protectiveness does not make him gentle toward enemies. He kills hostile sorcerers without hesitation and uses near-death intimidation to secure Uro’s obedience. Conversely, he respects the wishes of his reincarnated fighters rather than immediately forcing them into compliance 24 43 49.
Abilities & Skills
Hokage System
- Assigns quests and supplies ninjutsu, weapons, physical improvements, and other rewards 1 4 8.
- Interprets jujutsu opponents through shinobi terminology, including Genin, Chunin, and “Ryomen Otsutsuki Vessel” 1 4.
- Treats sorcerers supporting the Higher-Ups as Missing-nin for an elimination mission; ordinary curses and curse users had not advanced that task 23 24.
- Does not equate official Special Grade certification with becoming a Kage-level fighter 23 30.
Hybrid Chakra
- Combines emotional, physical, and spiritual energy, unlike ordinary cursed energy alone 2.
- Enables analysis of an Innate Technique across the body, soul, and brain, giving him a more complete basis for learning it 47.
- Can damage Mahito’s soul directly 19.
- Cannot readily be reproduced on a broad scale, according to Yue Liusi himself 47.
Sharingan and Genjutsu
- Reads movement and cursed-energy flow; he uses it to study Shoko’s Reverse Cursed Technique 4 9.
- Incapacitates Choso, Nanako, and Mimiko with genjutsu, although Choso offers greater resistance than the girls 13.
- Helps locate Kenjaku immediately after a technique darkens his surroundings 20.
- Initially struggles to keep pace with Toji’s movement even with ocular assistance 9.
Flying Thunder God Technique
- Teleports to placed marks, including marks on objects and opponents 6 7 9.
- Can escape a domain; Dagon’s domain does not prevent its use 9.
- Transports allies and large groups of evacuated civilians 18 50.
- Requires a mark. Shoko’s birthday pendant later glows when he reaches her inside the colony, although he refuses to explain the connection 34 40.
Elemental Ninjutsu and Lava Release
- Combines Water Dragon Bullet and Phoenix Flower Jutsu to pressure opponents with attacks of different strengths, exploiting Liban Erlang’s strength-reversal technique 5.
- Uses available water to reduce Water Dragon Bullet’s chakra cost 9.
- Forms protective lava barriers without harming the person enclosed 27.
- Channels intense heat through his sword and concentrates attacks into extremely thin slashes 10 29.
- Develops large-scale attacks including Merciful Sun and Lava Release Rasengan and Rasenshuriken variants 20 33 49.
Yin Nine-Tails and Kurama Mode
- Possesses a newly created Yin Nine-Tails with a newborn-like mind and its full complement of abilities 36.
- Draws on its chakra without needing to win its cooperation, vastly reducing concerns about exhausting his reserves 31.
- Gains heightened sensitivity to goodwill and malice 31.
- Uses Kurama Mode for extreme speed, strength, defense, and regeneration; Yuta’s Cursed Speech barely delays him and causes severe backlash 32.
- Can prepare a city-destroying Tailed Beast Bomb. He cancels its use against Yuta because a direct clash would kill him 33.
Medical Ninjutsu and Reverse Cursed Technique
- Combines Mystical Palm Technique with Reverse Cursed Technique so that each compensates for the other’s weaknesses 25.
- Achieves self-healing described as approximately comparable to Mahoraga’s; surviving targeted attacks remains a separate issue 25.
- Initially cannot restore another person’s arm because he does not understand its original state, and identifies disease as another limitation of Reverse Cursed Technique 24.
- Later heals Uro almost instantly using both techniques with Nine-Tails chakra, though his external positive-energy application is still comparatively unpracticed 49.
Barriers, Souls, and Demon Eyes Power
- Learns barrier construction from Tengen with unusually rapid progress 35.
- Creates an internal barrier that convinces Mai’s soul it is dead while leaving her consciousness functional, preventing the twins’ curse from being restored 37.
- Stabilizes that barrier with “demon eyes power,” his name for ocular power combined with Nine-Tails chakra 37.
- Supplies Mai with chakra through the barrier; she cannot use cursed energy in this state 38.
- Has no personal Domain recorded in the system’s Domain field at that point 38.
Impure World Reincarnation
- Uses bodily tissue to connect with the deceased and White Zetsu as the ritual’s bodies 40.
- Reincarnates Jogo, Suguru Geto, and Toji Fushiguro 40.
- Can forcibly control reincarnated individuals, but initially chooses to respect their wishes 43.
- Defeats the reincarnated Toji with a single overwhelming strike and shatters Jogo’s domain from within using Nine-Tails chakra 41.
Construction Technique
- Learns through feedback from Mai rather than receiving it as a documented system reward 47.
- Progresses from a thumb-sized stone to massed flying swords and an enormous descending blade 47 49 50.
- Offsets the technique’s extreme energy consumption with his immense reserves 50.
- Does not make every part of a large construct as durable as a powerful cursed tool, considering that expenditure wasteful 50.
Equipment & Items
- Kunai and shuriken — Used for close combat, concealed attacks, explosive-tag delivery, and Flying Thunder God positioning 1 2 5.
- Explosive tags — Provide essential early finishing power, including the internal explosion that destroys the locust curse 1 2.
- Ame-no-Murakumo Sword — A system-reward blade described as Sasuke Uchiha’s type of Kusanagi sword. Yue Liusi combines it with chakra, teleportation, and Lava Release heat 4 7 10.
- Pendant used against Mahito — Opens it to activate the effect called Aoi Todo’s “Little Unlimited Void,” interrupting Mahito’s attempted Domain Expansion 18.
- Bodily tissue samples and White Zetsu — Ritual materials for Impure World Reincarnation 15 40.
History
Arrival and the Shibuya Incident
Yue Liusi transmigrates into a Shibuya subway station during a curse attack. Initially expecting a shinobi setting because of his Hokage System, he recognizes Yuji Itadori, Mei Mei, and Ui Ui and realizes he has arrived during the Shibuya Incident. Mei Mei initially judges him barely Grade 3, but his rapidly acquired techniques soon exceed that assessment 1 2.
He seeks official registration from Yaga to advance his system missions, then returns to Shibuya. He kills Liban Erlang, warns Megumi that Sukuna is interested in him, and intervenes in the battle against Dagon. Fighting Toji inside Dagon’s domain leads him to develop Lava Release Chakra Mode; he subsequently pursues and kills Dagon 4 5 8 10 12.
After revealing Kenjaku’s identity and Gojo’s imprisonment to Shoko, he offers to bring Gojo back in exchange for instruction in Reverse Cursed Technique. He also tries to prevent Sukuna’s awakening by removing Yuji from immediate danger. The attempt fails when Yuji returns to save Megumi and accepts Sukuna’s intervention, prompting Yue Liusi to wonder whether fate is correcting his changes 12 13 14.
He saves Nobara from Mahito and nearly defeats Mahito with soul-damaging attacks and Black Flash. Kenjaku intervenes, survives Yue Liusi’s attacks, and proceeds with his broader plan after extracting Mahito’s technique 18 19 20 21.
Conflict with the Higher-Ups
After Shibuya, Yue Liusi remains in Tokyo, renting apartments beside Shoko while learning Reverse Cursed Technique and supporting survivor rescues. The Higher-Ups’ purge of Gojo’s allies brings him into direct conflict with the authorities 22 23.
He stops Yaga’s execution and receives a death sentence of his own. Although he initially favors uprooting the corrupt leadership, he worries about destabilizing jujutsu society during the Culling Game. Shoko’s reassurance helps him accept both his responsibility and his companions’ support 24 25 26.
An assassination attempt against Shoko ends his restraint. After eliminating the attackers, he advances on Jujutsu Headquarters, having promised her to execute only the ringleaders. He defeats the defending sorcerers and kills the Higher-Ups; the system then completes his Kage-level mission 27 28 29 30.
Yuta confronts him afterward, but their battle also serves to test Yin Nine-Tails and provide a public resolution to the confrontation. Yuta privately worries about injuring him, while Yue Liusi remains conscious of Yuta’s safety 31 32 33.
Soul Research and the Culling Game
Following Shoko’s birthday celebration, Yue Liusi consults Tengen about the Zenin twins. He rescues Mai from her near-death state and develops a barrier that allows her to live without reversing Maki’s completed Heavenly Restriction. The experiment produces demon eyes power and opens a path toward learning Construction Technique 34 35 37 38 47.
Inside Tokyo No. 2 Colony, he reincarnates Jogo, Geto, and Toji, then establishes his superiority over them. He orders an end to killing, directs sorcerers to protect civilians, and designates Kabukiza Theatre and Tokyo Skytree as gathering points 40 41 43.
In Tokyo No. 1 Colony, Higuruma’s Judgeman initially treats him as a newborn and finds him not guilty. Even after a binding vow allows Higuruma to confiscate one technique, Yue Liusi continues fighting with his remaining abilities and gains Higuruma’s assistance 45.
He later recruits Uro in Sendai, attacks Dhruv, kills Kurourushi, and defeats Ryu. Returning to Tokyo No. 2 Colony, he evacuates the gathered survivors with Flying Thunder God and spends 200 points on rules that reveal player locations and mark players according to morality and law 49 50.
Relationships
- Shoko Ieiri — Teacher and close companion. Their initial exchange of information and instruction develops into mutual trust, shared domestic time, and emotional support. She explicitly calls them friends; no formal romantic label is established 12 22 26 34 42.
- Yuji Itadori — Companion whom he initially berates for a system mission, then rescues and guides away from seeing himself only as an expendable vessel. They agree to fight cursed spirits together 5 13 17.
- Megumi Fushiguro — Warns him about Sukuna’s intentions and later assigns companions to accompany him into the Culling Game, remaining wary of his willingness to summon Mahoraga 5 39.
- Nobara Kugisaki — Saves her from Mahito. Their later friendship includes teasing, informal familiarity, and Nobara organizing his wardrobe makeover 18 22 25.
- Masamichi Yaga — Secures his early registration and becomes someone Yue Liusi protects from the Higher-Ups. Yaga comes to regard him as a potential legend of jujutsu society 4 24.
- Yuki Tsukumo — Supporter and investigator of his unusual abilities. She cautions him against impulsive action, supports his confrontation with Headquarters, and helps him recognize his chakra’s threefold analytical potential 26 29 47.
- Tengen — Teacher in barriers and adviser on Heavenly Restrictions; assists his research into Mai’s soul 35 37.
- Mai Zenin — Rescues her and supplies the chakra that replaces her lost access to cursed energy. Her Construction Technique becomes a central subject of his research 37 38 47.
- Yuta Okkotsu — Ally and sparring opponent. Yue Liusi tests Kurama Mode against him but abandons a Tailed Beast Bomb rather than risk killing him 31 32 33.
- Yin Nine-Tails — His fully accessible tailed beast, which manifests as an affectionate little fox and contributes to his soul research 31 36 37.
- Kenjaku — Enemy whose identity and methods Yue Liusi exposes. Kenjaku exploits the conflict with the Higher-Ups in hopes of eliminating him 12 20 28 31.
- Uro Takako — Defeated opponent turned subordinate. He heals her after securing her obedience, and she guides him toward the other Sendai fighters 49.
