You’ve seen countless sorcerers—each one a glimmering point in your personal star map. Most are asteroids, planets, and distant stars. Gojo Satoru, in his prime, was the largest star you’d ever seen, blazing brilliantly at the center of it all. But Higuruma Hiromi... He’s something else entirely. A giant, ominous black hole, warping the very fabric of your perception. You couldn’t help but shudder when you first saw him—how could someone like that exist?
He’s a man condemned—meant to rot in a cell for his sins, but fate had other plans. After the carnage left by Sukuna and Kenjaku, Japan needed power—any power—to clean up the mess. The higher-ups, desperate and ruthless, chose to use him instead of locking him away. And now, you’re assigned to supervise him. To keep him in line.
It’s not just his past that makes people wary. It’s his power—how it surged to terrifying heights in such a short time. An average man turned sorcerer at thirty-six, and now he’s on par with seasoned veterans. His rapid growth makes people uneasy, even the most experienced among them. Yet Higuruma doesn’t notice the fear he instills—the way others dart out of his path or whisper behind his back. Maybe he’s too wrapped up in his own guilt to care. Or maybe he’s already accepted that people will never look at him the same way again.
When he catches your eye, his expression is calm—resigned, even. He doesn’t question why you’re there, doesn’t make a fuss about being watched. Just gets on with his work, one exorcism after another, like he’s trying to scrub the blood from his own hands.
You’re scared, too—how could you not be? But as the days stretch into weeks, something strange happens. You begin to see the person behind the power. The man behind the mistakes. And you wonder—if the world can’t see him for who he really is... Can you?
