Hiromi Higuruma may be one of the most fascinating characters in Jujutsu Kaisen because he feels like he wandered in from an entirely different kind of story.

Before becoming a jujutsu sorcerer, Higuruma was a defense attorney, a profession that shaped every aspect of his worldview. Intelligent, principled, and deeply frustrated by the failures of the justice system, he spent years watching people fall through the cracks while those in power escaped accountability.

Which is exactly the kind of emotional baggage that becomes very dangerous in Jujutsu Kaisen.

What makes Higuruma so compelling is that he isn't driven by simple revenge, greed, or hatred. He's driven by disillusionment. He genuinely wanted to help people. He genuinely believed in justice. Watching those ideals erode transformed him into one of the most morally complex figures in the series.

And honestly?

That complexity gives him a lot of weight.

His cursed technique is also one of the coolest in modern anime. Rather than relying purely on destructive force, Higuruma's abilities revolve around law, judgment, and courtroom proceedings. His Domain Expansion summons a supernatural trial where evidence, guilt, and punishment become literal weapons.

Which is an absolutely incredible concept.

Visually, Higuruma stands out because of his simplicity. No elaborate costume. No flashy gimmicks. Just a tired lawyer in a suit carrying the emotional burden of a world that rarely rewards fairness.

Fans love Higuruma because he embodies one of Jujutsu Kaisen's recurring themes: good people can become broken without ever becoming truly evil. His story explores justice, responsibility, and human failure in ways that feel surprisingly mature even within a series known for its incredible action.

Not every warrior carries a sword.

Some carry a case file.
