Summary[]
Mahito is a sadistic, immature cursed spirit who enjoys toying with human emotions. He believes he was born from human transgressions and considers himself the very manifestation of humans' hatred of each other. As such, Mahito believes that humans should be extinguished and cursed spirits should rule in their place.
Mahito has no sympathy for human lives and appears to place little value on even his own life. He is devoted to his cause, believing that reviving Sukuna is more important than his own well being. As long as cursed spirits eventually reign supreme, Mahito cares not if he's there to see it. Unlike his ally Jogo, who is very short-tempered and arrogant, Mahito can remain relatively calm and is playful in nature. Even so, they agree on the same goals when it comes to their race. He seems to have a decent friendship with the other curses, as he scolded Kenjaku for putting Jogo in danger, protected Hanami from Haruta and wanted to avoid fighting with Jogo in Shibuya.
Possibly due to the nature of his birth, Mahito is extremely adept at interacting with and manipulating human beings. He preys on their hatred, sorrow, and insecurities in order to direct them to act the way he wishes, even to the point where they act against their common sense. After indirectly causing the death of Junpei's mother, he convinces Junpei that the one who placed Sukuna's finger in his house that attracted the curse was Shota Ito and drove Junpei to become a curse user as revenge. Mahito manipulated Junpei so completely that Junpei never considered the fact that Mahito was evil until he actually tried to defend him to Yuji, even after seeing his experiments in the sewer.
Nanami describes Mahito as extremely immature and has a superficiality about him similar to Satoru Gojo. He enjoys toying with humans, even in battle when his life is on the line. Mahito befriended Junpei because he saw him as a toy that could be fun to play with. He coerced Junpei into becoming a curse user by feeding on his hatred. When his toy ran out of use, Mahito used him as leverage against Yuji and had even killed him without a second thought.
Mahito is also very philosophical when it comes to the concept of souls. He believes that the human soul came before the body and is intrigued by the very nature of the soul. His cursed technique is derived from this obsession, and he uses it to experiment on human victims in order to gain further knowledge.
He does keep his composure for the most part but can be visibly shaken when his own safety is threatened as when Yuji showed that his own attacks could do real harm to Mahito. Later when Nobara Kugisaki used her cursed technique on him, he was shocked when he was hurt as her cursed technique can bypass physical resistance and attack the soul the same as Yuji's attacks. He then emphasizes getting rid of her showing his strong desire to neutralise anyone or anything capable of hurting him. At the end of his second battle with Yuji, being critically injured by Black Flash and exhausted, Mahito became terrified of Yuji when Yuji showed Mahito his resolve to hunt him down, seeing in Yuji the same callous disdain that Mahito himself showed others. Mahito then desperately tried to escape Yuji showing that despite all his bravado and pontificating, he was little more than a cruel, cowardly, and hypocritical child at heart that enjoyed hurting others when there was no danger to him but fearful when the consequences of his actions finally caught up with him.

Survived after his body was blown up, Possibly Low-Godly - Stated that attacks no matter how strong they are have no effect on him so long as it doesn't interact with his soul.

Another example is when he actually does obtain his Domain Expansion, by reaching a state near death, his soul was able to develop further during battle. Mahito also through his awakening from Black Flash allowed him a new use of his barrier, a 0.2 second Domain Expansion only having seen Gojo do it two hours ago. The awakening brought on by Black Flash also developed his use of Idle Transfiguration to allow him a new transfiguration of his body, being noted to have become something completely different as a Cursed Spirit)
Soul Manipulation(Can endure attacks to his own soul)
Speed: Subsonic+ (Comparable to the likes of Yuji and Nanami) | At least Subsonic+ (He is using 120% of their full potency).
Lifting Strength: Class 5 (Comparable to Yuji, who can lift and throw a car. Capable of destabilizing Ultimate Mechamaru's balance).

Tanked a direct punch from Yuji who then stated Mahito's body became harder than Choso's hardened blood).
Stamina: Superhuman (When Nanami attempted to damage Mahito's body, he went through their entire battle without expressing that he felt any pain, even when attacks did land. When Yuji was able to hit Mahito's soul, and both Jujutsu Sorcerers overwhelmed Mahito, he was able to weather the storm and unlocked a new power instead of allowing his body to crumble under pressure)
Range: Standard Melee Range physically; up to Tens of Meters with Shapeshifting and Domain Expansion
Standard Equipment: Transfigured humans that he keeps stored inside his body
Intelligence: Gifted (Mahito was seemingly born with a talent for battle, even for Cursed Spirits' standards. He was accurately able to deduce that Jujutsu Sorcerers were investigating him and set a trap for his pursuers. He accurately did so against Nanami, realizing that Yuji could see souls thanks to his relationship with Sukuna. Along with Suguru Geto, Mahito often acts as the brains of his faction's operation)
Weaknesses: If the shape of his transformation is too big, its maneuverability and power will decline. For Idle Transfiguration to work, requires direct touch, and a cursed technique may also protect the victims. Sukuna appears immune to Idle Transfiguration. Thus, Mahito cannot use it and his Domain Expansion against Yuji since the latter contains Sukuna within him. Mahito's also especially vulnerable to those who can harm his soul directly. Mahito has a limited stock of transfigured humans, and can run out of them without any nearby humans to replenish his stock.
