Jujutsu Kaisen Shares Peek into Todo's Origin in New Flashback
✖
The newest episode of the series actually gives a brief window as to why with a peek into Todo's life growing up. While we have been introduced to him as a brutal fighter who finds joy in combat, it seems there's a darkness about it bubbling underneath as he uses this combat to fill the gaps in his own heart and mind. That's evident especially with how he becomes a Jujutsu Sorcerer in the first place.

Episode 20 of the series begins with a look into Todo's past as he reveals that even as a third grader he was beating up high school aged opponents. He says it was because this high schooler was "cocky," but there was definitely a rage brewing as he beats the high schooler to a pulp simply for his being mocked. Though he did feel empty afterwards as even going this far didn't fulfill some kind of need.
