Mahito was ultimately defeated by Yuji Itadori and Todo Aoi during the Shibuya Incident arc in the manga series “Jujutsu Kaisen.” After a fierce battle, he was consumed by Sukuna, who was residing within Yuji Itadori’s body.
In the “Jujutsu Kaisen” series, Mahito is introduced as a cunning and malevolent cursed spirit who embodies the hatred and fear of humans. His unique ability, Idle Transfiguration, allows him to reshape souls and, by extension, the bodies of his victims, often with gruesome results. Throughout the series, Mahito serves as a significant antagonist, causing chaos and destruction in his wake.
During the Shibuya Incident, one of the most intense arcs of the series, Mahito’s plans come to a head as he engages in several battles with the protagonists. His power grows as he learns to create double-layered souls, making him even more formidable. However, his confidence proves to be his downfall when he underestimates the strength and resolve of Yuji Itadori and his allies.
In the climax of the arc, Mahito faces off against Yuji and Todo Aoi. Despite his enhanced abilities and strategic mind, Mahito is outmatched by the duo’s teamwork and sheer determination. As the fight progresses, Mahito is worn down and eventually encounters Sukuna, the King of Curses, who takes the opportunity to absorb him. This absorption marks the end of Mahito’s existence as an independent cursed spirit, as he becomes part of Sukuna’s power.
Mahito’s defeat serves as a pivotal moment in the series, showcasing the growth of the protagonists and setting the stage for future conflicts against the remaining cursed spirits and their malevolent plans.
