- Debut Episode: 8
Gakuganji Yoshinobu is the bald principal of Jujutsu High who wanted Yuji to get executed after he consumed Sukuna’s first finger.

So, he decided to use the Goodwill Event as a perfect opportunity to execute the mission.
Gakuganji boasts a strange Cursed Technique that helped him knock down the grade 1 sorcerer, Masamichi Yaga. His CT involves his electric guitar, the melodies of which are amplified by Yoshinobu’s body and used as the Cursed Energy waves during the battles.

Dutch doesn’t like to get involved in fights related to the Lagoon Company as he is usually busy strategizing ways to grow the company.

He was so faithful to All For One that when Tomura Shigaraki became his successor, Garaki questioned his worth. However, respecting AFO’s will, he decided to give Shigaraki a chance and show what he was capable of.
