SATORU GOJO
ARCANA WORLD
10Rank
MAX
★★★★★★★★★★
Not just 'the Strongest', but a teacher, too. Devotion is a word for what Yuji feels towards Gojo, but the reality is this: there is no one in the world he trusts as much as his teacher, and no one he believes in as much, no matter what. His dedication to him is pretty much endless.
ITADORI CHOSO
ARCANA HANG.
10Rank
MAX
★★★★★★★★★★
In some ways, Choso could be described as all that Yuji has left 'back home', the only person waiting for him to get back. His brother, finally landing on aniki, even if Yuji's not completely sure how or why it is the way it is - but it's something he trusts. Choso is the person he knows he can turn to, the person he trusts, with his fears, his nightmares, his joy, and everything in between, and he wants to do the same in return. If he lost him, he's not sure what he would do: there would be nothing but heartache left.
NANAMI KENTO
ARCANA TEMP.
10Rank
MAX
★★★★★★★★★★
How do you describe someone who's memory gives you enough strength to keep fighting? Nanami's last words don't haunt Yuji: they provide him with the motivation to keep going, even in the darkest moments. The joy he feels at getting a little more time with this man is impossible to describe.
SUGURU GETO
ARCANA EMPEROR
7Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
Gojo has told him he's dangerous, a curse user, and someone not to be trusted, but other than their first violent meeting he's been nice to Yuji. Geto has proven himself as someone that Yuji can trust, who would take care of him and check in on him, and it's hard to rationalise that with some of the stories he's heard. At the end of the day, he trusts Geto and cares about him, and he can only hope that he keeps his word.
OKKOTSU YUTA
ARCANA LOVERS
5Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
A senpai that Yuji can trust. He has a lot of faith in Yuta as a person and thinks that he's the kind of guy that can be relied on, and has no idea of the self-sacrficial similarities between them. His trust in Yuta has taken a hit from the reminder of what happened with Gojo, but he's working hard to get over that as best he can.
BAKUGO KATSUKI
ARCANA CHARIOT
10Rank
MAX
★★★★★★★★★★
Yuji's best friend. Bakugo knows more about him than almost anyone else in Synflux and is able to read him like a book. The level of devotion that Yuji feels for Katsuki rivals that of the people from his own world, and he would sacrifice himself in an instant if he thought it would save him (not that Bakugo would ever want him to). They depend on each other, they care about each other and Yuji knows their friendship is something very, very special.
RAIDOU KUZONOHA
ARCANA JUSTICE
9Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
Boyfriend. Confidant. Learning to be brave together, and growing stronger as a pair. Yuji adores Raidou and would do practically anything for him - he wants to make sure he is safe, and happy, and well taken care of, for as long as they can be together.
VERITAS RATIO
ARCANA SUN
5Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
Someone who actually seems to care about how Yuji does academically, which is a little bit baffling. Ratio's had to see a lot of Yuji that he'd rather have not let him see, but he trusts him enough to know it'll be safe. He wants to impress Ratio and make him proud, even if he remains less than stellar at schoolwork. Things got complicated when Yuji was dumped as a student, but they're improving...?
SILCO
ARCANA EMPEROR
4Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
Yuji still doesn't really know what to make of Silco. He seems intense, and definitely has something going on, but he's been nothing but "nice" to Yuji - in his own way. After sharing some of his most intense memories and being brutally honest with him, though, it's hard not to feel a closer connection with him.
LUCY
ARCANA DEATH
4Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
Yuji doesn't completely know what to make of Lucy, not when Choso called her by another name, but he thinks that she's nice, and someone he's glad to call a friend. She's someone he enjoys spending time with, and would take care of her if she needed it - not that he thinks she'll ask.
AVENTURINE
ARCANA FORT.
3Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
Someone that's close to Ratio-sensei, and seems to empathise in a way Yuji's not exactly comfortable with. He thinks he's cool, though, and would be happy to spend time getting to know him better.
MURAMASA
ARCANA CHARIOT
2Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
What is Yuji meant to make out of this guy? He seems nice enough, but also that specific kind of weird that Yuji can't help but get magnetised to him. At least he appreciates his strength, but please don't shout at him again...
ERESHKIGAL
ARCANA DEATH
2Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
A goddess, apparently, but someone who seems really nice? She reminds Yuji a lot of some of the assistants from home - the nervous kind who want to do their best - and he thinks she's nice. Someone to get to know better in the future!
GODZILLA
ARCANA EMPEROR
1Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
At first, Yuji thought it was super cool that they had Godzilla on their team, but some of the things that he's seen (and heard) the 'Titan' say and do have made him less comfortable than he might have been before. He's still willing to work with the guy, but he's wary.
KAGA
ARCANA CHARIOT
1Rank
REVERSED
★★★★★★★★★★
It takes a great deal for Yuji Itadori to say he doesn't like someone, let alone hate them, but Kaga is as close as he'd get to hatred and disgust in Neo Tokyo. Her disregard for life and the cruelty with which she speaks rubs him the wrong way, and he loathes interacting with her.
ZEN'IN MAKI
ARCANA DEATH
5Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
Yuji has a lot of respect for Maki, even if he doesn't know her that well - he thinks she's cool, but more than that, she's someone to look up to in terms of strength. If she needed anything, he'd be right there to help her, even if he believes she might not like that notion.
FUSHIGURO TOJI
ARCANA TOWER
4Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
The man seems to be everything he doens't like in a person, but the problem is that he's his best friend's dad, so he has to almost try. At least, for now, they're not actively arguing... And Yuji bets he could take him in a fight. After Megumi left they were able to get a little closer, but it wasn't really anything as special as the other adults in his life.
SUKUNA
ARCANA DEVIL
10Rank
REVERSED
★★★★★★★★★★
The worst person (curse) Yuji has ever met, the bane of his existance, his worst enemy and, somehow, someone he is still deperately trying to find the humanity in. He hates Sukuna, loathes him for all the horrible things he put him through, and all he can do is hope that being in Neo Tokyo does something - something that he wasn't able to do back home. In the end, though, he can never really forgive Sukuna for what he did, no matter how hard he fights for a better future.
MARCILLE
ARCANA MAGIC.
5Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
There's a reason why Yuji calls her 'onee-san', and it's not just because Choso likes her: Marcille has acted like a big sister to him since she arrived, and Yuji trusts her. He's told her more about himself than he thinks he should have, and he knows if he needs comfort he can rely on her to help him. He'll do the same for her in return, even if he cries on her all the time.
WRIOTHESLEY
ARCANA JUDGE.
5Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
Someone Yuji has known since his arrival in Synflux and someone who has taken care of him since then. Wriothesley has always checked in on him, kept an eye on him and ensured that he was alright, even in one of his worst moments, and he appreciates that. He wishes he could do more of the same in return.
MARCH 7
ARCANA STAR
5Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
A kindred spirit! Yuji thinks that March is someone special, someone that he can trust and rely on - both in a battle, but also outside of it, to have fun and find some way of relaxing. He'd protect her with all that he has, if it came to it.
YOR FORGER
ARCANA STREN.
4Rank
★★★★★★★★★★
Yuji's never had a mother, or a big sister, but the way that Yor takes care of him makes realise how it might have felt. He thinks she's genuinely wonderful, and incredibly kind, even if she has terrible taste in men. Also, she's really strong and that's incredibly cool
