Todo and Itadori’s Friendship Is Precious
They encounter one another for the first time in the Kyoto Goodwill Event arc, but their initial meeting is far from amicable.
Todo and Itadori find themselves facing off in a heated battle as they participate in the event.
Despite a rocky start to their friendship, the two instantly become best friends and eventually, brothers.
All this happened in their first battle, which was a friendly competition at first.
But as curses invaded the competition, Todo and Itadori teamed up as they fought against Hanami.
And that was the beginning of their precious friendship, I particularly enjoyed Todo calling Itadori his best friend.
Itadori was taken aback, but as the fight progressed, the intensity of the battle pumped up Itadori and he reciprocated to Todo with equal warmth.
Itadori and Todo are brothers who share a deep bond of love. Todo even has a heart-shaped locket that includes pictures of Itadori and Nobuko Takada indicating that friendships are paramount for Todo.
JJK: Aoi Todo and Yuji Itadori Strive to Become Better Fighters Together
Throughout all their encounters, Todo stood by Itadori like a rock, a steadfast presence evident in both the battles against Hanami and, later, Mahito during the Shibuya Incident arc.
While facing off against Hanami, Todo motivated Itadori to apply the lessons learned from their previous encounter.
Todo’s guidance enabled Itadori to unlock a brand-new skill, and as Todo unveiled his special attack, the duo took charge of the battle against the evil curses.
Meanwhile, their second encounter was rather grim as Todo found Itadori in the depths of despair.
Itadori, who lost Kento Nanami and Nobara Kugisaki, was almost on the verge of giving up, but it was Todo’s arrival in the battle that motivated Itadori to go all out.
Todo's involvement against Mahito was incredibly intense, and at one point, Todo even lost one of his hands, rendering him unable to use his innate Boogie Woogie technique ever again.
Still, Todo stood by Itadori, who ultimately defeated Mahito in their fight.
