This article provides an in-depth explanation of Shoko Ieiri a character from Jujutsu kaisen. It includes details about her abilities, past episodes, and images of her appearances in the anime.

What is the Anime Jujutsu Kaisen Where Shoko Ieiri Appears?

Jujutsu Kaisen (呪術廻戦) is a dark fantasy series that began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in March 2018. The story follows Yuji Itadori, a high schooler who enters a world of curses and sorcery after unsealing a powerful “Cursed Object.” The series concluded in September 2024.

The Jujutsu Kaisen manga has surpassed 100 million copies in circulation. The anime adaptation aired its first season from October 2020 to March 2021, becoming a massive hit. The success continued with the theatrical release of Jujutsu Kaisen 0 in December 2021 and the highly acclaimed Season 2 airing from July to December 2023. Fans can also look forward to the production of Jujutsu Kaisen: The Culling Game Arc.

Shoko Ieiri's Official Plofile

During her time as a student at Tokyo Jujutsu High, Shoko Ieiri was a smoker. Although scenes depicting underage smoking are often regulated in modern media, her smoking scenes were left uncut in the anime. Later, she was encouraged to quit smoking by her close friend and fellow sorcerer Utahime Iori. By the time she was 28, she had been smoke-free for five years.

Shoko is also known for her love of alcohol. In the official fanbook, a shared Q&A section featuring all characters describes her as the biggest drinker among them.

As a student, she had short bob-cut hair and did not have the dark circles under her eyes that she has in the present. The fatigue and stress from her work as a healer—due to the rarity of sorcerers capable of using Reverse Cursed Technique—caused her to develop the dark circles over time, as she is constantly busy treating severely injured individuals.

Shoko Ieiri’s Abilities

■Reverse Cursed Technique
Shoko Ieiri is capable of healing injuries by using Reverse Cursed Technique, which converts cursed energy into positive energy to repair the bodies of others. While she can only use Reverse Cursed Technique, healers are extremely rare in the jujutsu world, making her highly valuable.

According to the official fanbook, the only individuals known to be able to heal others using Reverse Cursed Technique at this time are Shoko Ieiri, Yuta Okkotsu, and Ryomen Sukuna. (Satoru Gojo can heal himself, but he is unable to heal others.)

Relationships

Shoko Ieiri was classmates with Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto during their time at Tokyo Jujutsu High. Back then, she jokingly referred to the two as “trash.”

However, this does not mean they had a bad relationship—on the contrary, they remained close friends. In particular, after Geto’s defection, Shoko became one of the few people who truly understood Gojo during his difficult times.

Regarding her relationship with the two, she once stated:
"Truth is, hell would freeze over... before I would fall in love with one of you two."

Shoko Ieiri’s Key Scenes in the Anime

■Hidden Inventory / Premature Death Arc
In Season 2 of the Jujutsu Kaisen anime, during the Hidden Inventory / Premature Death arc, a younger Shoko Ieiri is depicted with a more lively and cheerful demeanor compared to her present-day self. She is shown smiling brightly and hanging out with Gojo, Geto, and their underclassmen after school, enjoying their time together.

At the time, Tengen, the foundation of the jujutsu world, tasked Gojo and Geto with the protection and elimination of the "Star Plasma Vessel," a young girl who was compatible with Tengen. As Gojo and Geto undertook the mission to protect her, Shoko joined them in rescuing Mei Mei and Utahime Iori, who had gone missing for two days during their own assignment.

■Shibuya Incident Arc
During the Shibuya Incident, Shoko is seen stationed away from the center of the battlefield alongside Masamichi Yaga. While she does not directly engage in combat, she plays a critical role as a healer, treating injured sorcerers.

Yaga acknowledges her importance, stating:
"Ino and Ijichi would have died if you hadn’t been here."
