Junpei Yoshino

Junpei was a thin young boy in his late teens with black eyes and dark brown (black in the manga) hair that reached his chin. His side parting let a large portion of his bangs cover the right side of his face. This helped to cover the cluster of circular scars he received from bullies' cigarettes.

He initially wore a purple and pink striped t-shirt or a simple white t-shirt with a green rectangle printed on the front. He also wore a pair of calf length olive green pants and off-white sneakers with black laces and golden soles and toes.

Later on, after his mother's death, he wore one of her black jackets in mourning.

Personality Junpei is a reserved and apathetic individual with a distaste for other people. He has very negative views of people and society as a whole. If a button existed that would kill everyone he hates, he wouldn't press it. However, if there was a button that would kill everyone who hated him, he'd press it without hesitation.[3] He claims he feels indifferent towards people and believes it's no worse than hating them.[4]

Junpei is indifferent towards other humans because he expects them to be evil, so even people's deaths don't seem to affect him.[5] It is due to all the trauma he received from being bullied and rejected in his life. He has always been a recluse, but Junpei loves movies and tried to start his club at school. It was, unfortunately, taken over by bullies who burned Junpei while nobody did anything to help him or reprimand his assaulters.

Despite being a normal student, Junpei's dejected attitude made him easy for Mahito to manipulate. Mahito fed into Junpei's darkness and encouraged him to take his indifference a step further into hate and revenge.[6] This resulted in shortsightedness that made Junpei unable to see Mahito for what he truly was.

Yuji, someone around Junpei's age and interested in movies, became one of his only friends. Even after Junpei had rejected all those around him, Yuji was able to begin to bring Junpei out of his troubled mindset.

Abilities and Powers Overall Skill Level: Prior to meeting Mahito, Junpei was weak. He was an average non-sorcerer who was constantly picked on and bullied. Mahito altered Junpei and turned him into a sorcerer, allowing Junpei to get his revenge. To his peers, it looked as if Junpei gained psychic powers they could not perceive. They were unable to view Junpei's jujutsu and Shota Ito suffered a wrath he couldn't even see. Junpei gained the ability to summon a fairly strong shikigami. This allowed him to even put up a fight against Yuji, who was a relatively new sorcerer at the time.

Cursed Technique Shikigami Moon Dregs (澱おり月づき Orizuki?): A large jelly-fish like shikigami capable of paralyzing targets with a unique poison emitted from its tendrils. The poison is created from cursed energy,[7] and upon contact covers the skin in black spots that burn the victim as if they were being stung.[8] Moon Dregs also has a pair of spiked stingers that can pierce through flesh.[9] Battles & Events Vs.
