Hi everyone!
I made a fanfic exploring the story of the unnamed mystery woman Sukuna recalls at the end of JJK. This is my first fan fiction ever. I hope you enjoy it.
This is my new hobby and so feedback is also appreciated. It'll only help me make better stuff.
TLDR; "Draw me like one of your French girls."
Hi. This is my first attempt of creating a Cursed Spirit, so I decided to convert Junji Ito's Tomie into one. I hope I didn't exaggerate too much.
Description: Originally, the still human Tomie Kawakami was a young woman who was liked by the guys in her class and mutually disliked by the female students, in addition to having an intimate relationship with her teacher. Unfortunately, Tomie was murdered and quartered by a group, whose identities are still unknown. Somehow, she simply reappeared in her classroom a few days later, looking as if nothing happened with her.
Her personality also greatly changed after that day as every shed of her humanity seems to have been stripped away, resulting in her becoming a manipulative, narcistic sociopath who considers herself the most beautiful woman in the world and sees everyone else as lesser. The reason behind is her apparent resurrection and change is that she wasn't a human anymore at that point, having become a regenerative Cursed Spirit in human shape after her death.
However, she's far from being a regular Cursed Spirit. First of all, while her physiology is still composed of CE, Tomie is corporeal enough that non-Sorcerers are able to see and freely interact with her. Moveover, while non-Sorcerers can only see her as a regular woman, Sorcerers, on the other hand, can also see a second monstrous face growing out from her head, with this being her true appearance.
Tomie's origin as a curse is still unknown, but the Jujutsu Headquarters officially accepted two hypotheses as likely right.
The first and most accepted hypothesis is that the human Tomie Kawakami actually had a Sorcerer's brain and even her own Cursed Technique (despite being from a civilian family), with her death resulting in her becoming a Vengeful Cursed Spirit). The second theory is that the current "Tomie" is a Cursed Spirit simply took the identity of the original Tomie Kawakami, with her being a curse born from the negative emotions of the women who were abused and murdered just like Tomie herself.
Regardless of her origin, what is known is the method she used to become corporeal. The Cursed Spirit "Tomie" found the remains of the human Tomie and permanently fused with them. >!This is known because her Cursed Spirit body has the same DNA as her human body.!<
In order for this fusion to actually work and be stable, Tomie made her two first Binding Vows: the first that sacrificed her ability to go intangible and the second that sacrificed her ability to use Reinforcement. While she's stronger than what she looks like, this means that Tomie is normally only as strong as a regular non-Sorcerer.
During her first days at school, manipulating her first victims, she proceeded to make a series of other Binding Vows to strengthen her Innate Cursed Technique, Source of Obsession. These vows are what turned a considerably weak curse into a Special Grade Calamity that could destroy the entire Japan if left uncontrolled.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Source of Obsession: The Innate Cursed Technique of the Cursed Spirit "Tomie" is composed by three aspects: Seduction, Consumption, and, the most dangerous of the three, Replication.
——
——
——
—————
Extension Technique - Deformed Overgrowth: By using the strengthened Lapse of the Replication aspect, Tomie can activate her regeneration and growth even if she wasn't killed and dismembered yet. At the most basic usage of this technique, by using her default CE reserves, this allows her to regenerate even more effectively than healing herself using raw CE and to increase her physical condition by forcefully growing her muscles.
Once Tomie gets access a steady supply of CE from her victims, she can use this extension in more grotesque and powerful ways, like growing her limbs to monstrous sizes, generating extra limbs, changing her body into inhuman shapes, and even fusing with other Tomies to create monstrous chimeras. Fortunately, Tomie can't use Reinforcement, so there are limits to how much she can grow and mutate before her body reaches its limits.
—————
Domain Expansion - Eternal Love of the Maneater: This is a domain with a fully enclosed barrier and an independent space for it, taking the form of a room made of human flesh, complete with eyes, mouths, and hair covering its walls. In addition to the regular sure-hit effect, anyone within its effective range will be affected by her Replication aspect, gradually having their flesh converted into Tomie's flesh until they become new Tomies after three minutes. Fortunately for her victims, if they manage to escape her domain before the conversion process is complete, they'll return to normal immediately without any lasting effect.
—————
The "Tomie War": This is the informal name of a Jujutsu terrorism incident that happened in the cities surrounding the accursed Tokyo. In the year of 20XX, over fifty Tomies went to war against each other, each followed by their own squads of "lovers". This happened as a result of Tomie's own ego. As a Tomie sees herself as the most perfect being in the world, this means that she also sees her clones as lesser. Thanks to this, it's almost impossible for two Tomies to cooperate with each other and it wasn't uncommon for Tomies to actually battle each other, but this was the first and only time this resulted in a large scale incident that ended up causing hundreds of deaths. Fortunately, this incident was also the opportunity that the currently active Special Grade Sorcerers were waiting to eliminate almost every single Tomie at once, preventing them to spread to the rest of Japan.
The "Tomie Sisters": Among the many clones of Tomie, these three are special. The so-called "Tomie Sisters" were born from three babies that were forced to consume Tomie's body parts by a Curse User. As the babies were prepared to serve as cages, Tomie's flesh converted them into new Tomies, but they remained as their own individuals with hybrid physiologies similar to the Death Painting Cursed Wombs. The three sisters doesn't have any of the Cursed Spirit Tomie's Binding Vows (so they still have the original version of the Source of Obsession CT) and they can learn to use RCT, but they still age normally unlike the Cursed Spirits.
And then say how strong Toji would be with the DE you make
What would his CT be? , Would he be considered Special Grade?
Be Specific make sure to add extension and Maximum Technique
(Optional) add Domain expansion, cursed tool and Binding Vow
Despite his usually calm behaviour and being a man of few words, Minamoto no Yoriie has a way of speaking that feels like he's on the verge of lashing out.
He holds deep resentment and hatred, anger born off his past life which he holds close.
He judges people with the code of the samurai, if he sees mediocre sorcerers or sloppy techniques he never hesitates to call them out.
He's very tall and has mostly muscle, giving him a strong yet lanky build.
His skin is orange and his eyes are flaming with cursed energy.
He has little patience and hates conversating.
Despite being a cursed spirit, he is not fond of other curses spirits.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Minamoto no Yoritomo was Japan's first shogun, an infamous military leader who founded the Kamakura Shogunate.
The leader of a newly made type of goverment, and the biggest army japan had ever seen.
However, Yoritomo saw the vengeful spirit of his brother Yoshitsune, whose death he was responsible for.
Yoshitsune pushed his brother hard off his horse with a strong attack that left fatal wounds on the shogun.
Yoritomo's son, Minamoto no Yoriie, fell ill during his reign as the new shogun following his father's death, his mother's family, The Hojo Clan, decided to take power by pulling the strings behind closed doors.
Before he could even get up from his bed, his grandfather had been given emergency powers.
Before Yoriie could even protest was exiled away to a castle, he was thrown in house arrest where he spent writing and meditating until his assassination took place.
The responsible for this was his maternal grandfather, Hojo Tokimasa, he had sworn to take revenge on The Hojo Clan for trying to overthrow him.
Before dying, it deeply hurt him to see his mother take over his father's empire without much regards for his well being or his father's, he fell into a deep paranoia and started to believe his mom had orchestrated an assassination attempt against his father.
He felt betrayed.
How could he perish in such way after surviving wars and assassination attempts all his life ?
They had taken control of the empire his father had built, and so was born a vengeful spirit.
Yoriie's hatred was big, and so was his desire for vengeance.
He was not gonna let this slide.
He dedicated his entire existence to hunting down his mother, his grandfather, and all of the hojo clan in a rampage aiming to destroy their entire bloodline to avenge himself and his father before him.
Despite Minamoto no Yorimoto not being a virtuous man who went as far as to killing his own brother, Yoriie thought his father's memory was worth avenging.
The Hojo Clan however, hired multiple jujutsu sorcerers to protect them, they held strong political relations with the Sugawara clan as well as the Shadow Style School.
He never knew the true cause of Yorimoto's death.
He eventually killed the people whom he desired, but the clans collaborating with said corruption lived on.
After wandering through Japan for years he decided to rest stationary atop of the tallest mountains in Hokkaido.
He killed plenty of strong sorcerers but avoided the strongest of the edo period, for even he knew his limits.
But for now....he rests.
----------------------------------‐----------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
His CE is sharp, what would be a normal blunt attack leaves cuts behind, the cuts become deeper the more CE is applied to his attacks.
This is why he usually sticks to creating simple close range weapons instead of modern day firearms or mechanisms he does not understand.
He can create curses tools capable of bypassing cursed techniques or dealing soul damage if the target used is strong enough or has the required CE reserves.
To create a weapon capable of soul damage, instead of creating the weapon from simple cursed energy dragged from the dead bodies, he must instead engrave the soul of a sorcerer into the blade turning them into a Cursed Object similar to Sukuna's Fingers, this costs way more CE than normal weapons.
weapons with sorcerer's souls engraved in them tend to have a will of their own, moving by themselves, telepathically speaking to the user, commanding them to do certain things, sometimes wielding them grants memories of the soul locked inside.
However, Yoriie has grown immune to this, his weapons don't dare to protest as long as he has enough CE to overthrow their will.
When a sorcerer with massive strength such as Sukuna or Satoru Gojo are turned into a weapon, their soul has to be split into multiple weapons, this means that to create weapons from them means to create a whole kit.
For example: a cursed tool kit of 20 different types of cleave weapons and knives that have sukuna's soul engraved in them.
when a weapon kit that holds the soul of a strong sorcerer/cursed spirit has been used for long enough, their cursed techniques start enabling themselves through the weapon and become usable.
This has key differences from Yuta's copy technique, for starters, the technique is exclusively channeled through the weapon kits, extension techniques are often channeled in different weapons from the same kit.
For example: Yoriie created a weapon kit from Satoru Gojo's soul, but each application of limitless needs a different weapon, red is engraved in a katana, blue in a kusarigama etc.
However, Yoriie cannot use the domain of these techniques, nor is there a limited time for the usage of these copied techniques.
He has to learn these techniques from scratch though, and the preconceived methods to do so are also mostly useless since the techniques have to be applied using the weapons in specific ways.
Some techniques that are incompatible cannot be copied, things like yorozu's construction for example.
The downside comes with these weapons consuming lots of CE so they can be kept tamed, as mentioned earlier, they have autonomy, so he has to fight the will of the soul engraved in said weapon.
If the soul of an exceptionally strong sorcerer is kept in it, then it's even harder to do so.
Yoriie can willingly let a weapon gain partial autonomy, letting it guide his movements the way the soul engraved in it would, if he wields one with a expert swordman's soul then the blade will guide him as if it was muscle memory.
This only happens when the weapon and the user agreed to collaborate.
This binding vow was a high stakes tradeoff which states that if Yoriie uses his powers against anyone who hasn't wronged him, he will be exorcized immediately, in exchange, if he attacks people belonging or collaborating with families who have wronged him he achieves a massive buff in CE reserves and Output.
This was the vow he made to hunt down his own clan.
Appearance: a large battlefield of tattered banners and dead samurai by multiple burnt structures.
The fires are the only sources of light in this place.
Sure hit effect: Yoriie can freely manipulate any of his weapons to their maximum efficiency and create new ones from the enemies severed body parts.
Any cursed tool that the enemy has in their power will automatically be confiscated by Yoriie, flying from the original wielder's hands to it's new owner.
The weapons in this domain gain the ability to fly around Yoriie and attack even if he is not wielding them.
Hollow wicker basket: Minamoto no Yoriie was alive for quite a while, and since this is one of the OG Learnable Techniques he added it to his arsenal.
Domain Amplification: another classic learnable technique he acquired.
Simple Domain: even though he learned the HWB, he eventually switched up to the simple domain which he learned by creeping on the new shadow style school which was heavily involved with his enemies as well as seeing it in person, Yoriie was quite a fast learner.
He adapted it in pretty much the same way Kusakabe did so he could pair it with his expert swordmanship.
Combat Style: he lived for long, so he's naturally an expert swordsman, but he also has mastered every existent weapon save for tools of modern warfare.
He focuses on fighting with the katana, kusarigama, naginata, or even bows and arrows.
Sometimes using axes, hammers or halberds though very rarely.
However, he can be quite deadly on hand to hand combat due to his great strength and CE reserves.
He gave up on honor, if he's being attacked then he will do as much as possible to not only win, but to turn his opponent into a weapon.
Finally done with this. The design of the character goes to @/cutiicosmo on twitter. All other graphics drawn by me (one day I'll learn to draw and stop doing mockups), none of this was done with AI.
I hope you guys like it! Tell me what you think down below.
Here is an excerpt from chapter 3, which is from her perspective:
Nakazono Fumi’s bed was a set of blankets laid over a wide, green couch in a small room that opened onto the engawa and garden. Tsuguyo had lit agarwood incense to cover the smell of old fabric and dust, and, as the sliding doors would not close, turned on a squat, monochrome TV to drown out the wind screaming through the branches and the rain slapping against the thatched roof.
The incense had worked. The TV had not. Instead, the droning voices of talk show hosts and detectives on Knight Scoop bled into her dreams. Oddly, though, that did not make them any less strange. On a damp blanket or a featherbed, it seemed, the focus of her dreams was always the same: a spinning golden wheel.
Sometimes it turned against the backdrop of an alley in Adachi. This time, it hung over an endless, depthless void. Into that void, Komioka Ryutaro said, “Art is first-class, popularity is second-class, pay is third-class.” When he finished, seven hands reached out from the black, gripped one of the wheel’s eight prongs, and together, they spun it.
They were different hands from the ones she saw when she slept on Mr. Shigeru’s boat. They were always different hands, if not in appearance than in the way they went about their grabbing and spinning, but the look of them, nor the force with which they pushed mattered. The wheel turned and turned anyway. As it spun, she heard it clink.
That was the worst part of it, the clinking. The sound was from the wheel, definitely, but it was also the sound of a door chain sliding open. That or sliding closed. More times than not, when she was younger and in the custody of her parents, it was the latter she heard. They’d go knocking from apartment to apartment in search of elderly men and anxious housewives to sell their products to. Some days it was cookware and other days it was vacuums or magazines. Once they’d had a stint selling ermines and Nakamori Akina vinyls. No matter what they sold, it seemed, for every ten doors they knocked on which happened to open, nine would shut once her mother or father got to talking, and seven of those nine would be newly locked out of rage or fear.
“We aren’t going to make you buy anything!” She had shouted in response to the sound of the chain jingling against itself. It had been a deadly cold that day, and her breath and tears steamed in the air like dragonsmoke. She would’ve done more than just cry and yell if father hadn’t put his hand on her shoulder.
“It’s fair,” he had told her, as the first flakes of snow fell to melt on his thin glasses, “they want their money as much as we do. They worked for it. They need to work for your tears too. Clean your face.” Then he used his big, rough hands to shake her. “Be strong.”
Fumi saw herself in the amber gleam of the lone, untouched prong. Be strong, she thought.
Somehow, she knew the hands which held the wheel had been strong.
But she was not them, and they were not her. Then she blew a raspberry, childishly, and walked away.
Sometime after that, she stopped dreaming.
The technique is very simple. It lets the user evade any type of ban it may seem weak but it’s actually really good when you think about it.
Imagine this, you get trapped in someone’s domain, the ban evasion user just activates their technique and leaves. It works because a domain temporarily takes away their ability to exist in their dimension and “locks” them away in an enclosed space. So it counts as them being by banned from the real world.
If they get hurt then they are banned from being healthy and can rejuvenate themselves by using their cursed technique almost like Mahito.
They could even turn someone into a jujutsu sorcerer by unbanning them from not being able to control their own CE. Or bypass infinity since they’re banned from touching Satoru Gojo.
This technique can turn anyone with a creative mind into a God.
I got inspiration for this from a challenge
Noritoshi Kamo stood still, witnessing the small, lifeless child - as he felt his soul entering a blank page. The man looked, as the child used another binding vow to specifically smile at the right time - but, grasping his hands together, he used a binding vow, "My output, other than this moment, will decrease exponentially for forty-eight hours," but then, he created another one, "I will never torture any soul again, until I find another body," and then - another one, and another one, and another one! After all of these, Noritoshi Kamo used some of the peaks of the Kamo Clan's Blood Manipulation in order to, by a skim, survive almost-determined death. He groaned.
Biological Mutation
Hell's Kiss is a biological mutation similar to the Six Eyes mutation. The mutation increases the output of anything chanted by 200% (3x) without cost and the efficiency of anything chanted by 80% (1.8x.) These chants also affect the limit of binding vows, allowing the user to rig some binding vows to their favor through five "rounds" of chants.
For example,
"My cursed technique is Reflection, instead of being able to Reflect and counter slashes, I swap out this ability for a fire-based cursed technique which is .80x weaker."
"My cursed technique, Fictionalization, will be lost for the next two weeks. In exchange, I get a new one that perfectly counters my opponent, but the usage of it is significantly - by -100% (2x) - hindered."
These two binding vows would require their own chants, and, also, the negative effects of these vows are semi-negated by the biological ability itself.
For example (corresponding in order to the two previous statements:)
"Ounces of evaporation, Hell's friend, The origin of Man's power."
"[Description for how the counter reacts to its opposite, like fire evaporating water,] Hell's friend, [Historical/scientific description of the new technique.]"
These are just examples of the peak of this binding-vow abuse.
This mutation was a rare blessing among the sorcerers from the old, destroyed Asakura Clan. Originating from the Edo Period to the Meiji Era, the clan was utterly exterminated by Noritoshi Kamo after two decades of "hunting." Many Cursed Techniques from the Asakura Clan include:
- Reflection
- Organic Fire from Hell
- Cursed Energy Discharge Enhancement
- Fictionalization*
- Daisy's Bell
The clan housed many cursed objects, which were all stored by the sorcerer, Kenjaku, or lost to history. One of these cursed objects was a fragment of the Vengeful Cursed Spirit, Taira no Masakado, was found and stored in the island of Honshu - which is where the household of the Asakura Clan lived.
*Trust me bro this fits with the Asakura Clan's technique theme
Reflection
Redirection is the cursed technique common in the ancient Asakura Clan. The technique allows the user to create a shield of cursed energy that, once hit, stores and copies an attack which is then aimed, and fired, back at the original "sender." This includes anything with cursed energy.
Organic Fire from Hell
Organic Fire from Hell is a "hot!" technique that involuntarily transforms all used cursed energy into volatile "hellfire" which is used defensively and offensively. During this, the user is protected by a thin layer of cursed energy which protects them from burns. The hands are involuntarily the most volatile area, and usually "erupt" with cursed energy periodically, meanwhile, the feet can be chosen to have "discharges" of this fire-like cursed energy to allow for bursts in speed, flight, and more.
Daisy's Bell
Daisy's Bell is a cursed technique which creates sounds that destroy cursed energy. These sounds are familiar to the chime of a loud bell, with some interpretations accounting for the fact that these sound like the mechanical "clanking" and "screeching" of gears in a machine - or specifically, the sounds of a large bicycle, almost as if its size was built for two.
Daisy's Bell
The cursed technique reversal of Daisy's Bell uses reversed cursed energy to create a silent fire. This silent fire heals people by forcing their cursed energy to multiply on itself - but kills curses by removing their "matter" - as in their cursed energy. Some accounts say that the effect of this reversal is a being known as a "blessed spirit."
Cursed Energy Discharge Enhancement
Cursed Energy Discharge Enhancement is an innate technique which was first used by Ryu Ishigori, who married into the clan later in his life. Although, this technique has never been optimized alike to Ryu Ishigori's power due to the fact that no Asakura has been born with this technique along with Hell's Kiss.
Fictionalization
Fictionalization is a technique that can implant anything made of cursed energy into the pages of a book. This is a technique that requires high-output, high-efficiency, and, by anyone without Hell's Kiss, a dozen binding vows. Fictionalization and Hell's Kiss, like Limitless and the Six Eyes, come hand in hand - and Fictionalization is almost impossible to use without Hell's Kiss.
Also, another requirement for this technique is, that, the user must discharge their cursed energy and directly hit the target that they wish to fictionalize (or the thing that makes said thing created by or with cursed energy.) This technique temporarily works on technique applications and any target's cursed energy.
During the extermination of the Asakura Clan, the last Asakura with Hell's Kiss and Fictionalization fought the sorcerer Kenjaku. The Hell's Kiss user was a child, who just awakened their powers. The child chose to create a death binding vow which attempted to fictionalize Kenjaku without requirements, who was in the body of Noritoshi Kamo. Kenjaku used barrier techniques, Blood Manipulation, and multiple binding vows to survive.
A type of cursed energy found in the swapped other world, belonging to the seclusive special grade sorcerer junpei yushino from this alternate reality. An odd form of CE that directly hurts to touch, depending on the emotions and killing intent of the swapped junpei. The pain and negative effects of the toxic ce's contact are lessened or amplified on either strikes, or being hit with bare skin while reinforced. When the other world junpei's killing intent is at its highest, the pain is akin to that of the gympi gympi plant, with the effect of necrosis. At his most level and stable, it just causes a rash that lasts for but a few minutes. Though a side effect is the reverse cursed technique leads to temporary feelings of muscle relaxants or drunkenness. A definite cause of the other worlds junpei being jumped up to special grade.
