Jujutsu Kaisen’s roster is packed with wild characters, but then there’s Nanami Kento—the kinda guy you imagine showing up to a cursed spirit fight in a business suit, sipping lukewarm coffee, and still kicking butt. Seriously, this dude is the “7:3 Sorcerer,” and no, that’s not a weird math test he flunked—it’s his signature cursed technique.
Now, before you roll your eyes at yet another anime hero, hear me out. Nanami isn’t just some flashy, over-the-top fighter. Nah, he’s the grown-up in a room full of kids throwing energy blasts and punching clouds. I learned the hard way that this guy’s strength isn’t about fireworks—it’s about cold, calculated efficiency.
Who the heck is Nanami Kento, anyway?
So, here’s the skinny: Nanami used to be a salaryman, y’know, one of those cubicle warriors punching in and out like clockwork. I mean, who’d have guessed that this guy would ditch the 9-to-5 grind to go back to fighting curses? I almost feel like he’s me trying to adult properly but still getting sucked into chaos.
He’s punctual as hell. Like, if Nanami tells you the meeting’s at 2:30 PM, you better be there at 2:29, or face his deadpan judgment. His personality? Strict, dry, and a little bit grumpy—kind of like the barista at Pete’s Coffee on 5th Ave who refuses to put extra syrup unless you say “please” thrice.
The “7:3 Sorcerer” nickname? It comes from his cursed technique, which is less flashy and more “Here’s the weak spot; I’m hitting it hard.” Sort of like that cracked watering can I bought from Pete’s Hardware that somehow still waters my wilting plants better than me.
Nanami’s 7:3 Ratio Technique — What’s the deal?
Picture this: Nanami looks at an enemy and mentally slices their body into segments at a 7:3 ratio. No, I’m not making this up. It’s like he’s got some invisible ruler and calculator tucked under that suit.
The trick is he strikes precisely where this ratio points out—a weak spot on the body. One hit, one target, maximum damage. Efficient? Heck yes.
I once tried something like this in dodgeball, but instead of a weak spot, I found my own face… fast forward past three failed throws, and yeah, not my finest moment. Their/there mix-ups? Guilty as charged.
Why does this ratio even work?
Because Nanami Kento controls cursed energy like a pro. No wasted moves, no flashy showboating. Just pure, smart hits.
- He uses his cursed energy sparingly, kinda like me rationing coffee on Monday mornings.
- The 7:3 strike is super precise and takes insane focus.
- If you think this sounds boring, remember: winning fast is cool too.
Honestly, his technique reminds me of my buddy Tina who swears her backyard kale patch cured her Zoom fatigue. No glitter, no explosions—just results.
What’s behind Nanami Kento’s strength?
Okay, so this is the juicy part. Nanami’s strength isn’t some cosmic accident or sudden “power-up.” Nope. It’s years of discipline and experience—and maybe a bit of coffee-fueled stubbornness.
- He’s disciplined like a monk with a spreadsheet.
- His salaryman past? That means he knows how to work smart and hard.
- Calm as a Sunday morning even when fighting monsters.
I mean, when I try to stay calm during stressful Zoom calls, I usually end up yelling at my cat. Nanami? He probably just sighs and finishes the job.
Master of cursed energy control
Nanami doesn’t waste cursed energy. He holds it in tight like it’s the last donut at the office.
- Focused bursts when needed.
- Enough endurance to keep going when others would flop.
- Think of it like driving a stick shift perfectly—no revving, no stalling.
You need nitrogen-rich soil—wait, no, was it potassium? Let me Google that again… This tight energy control is like that: all about balance.
Brains meet brawn
While he’s not Hulk-sized, Nanami packs some serious physical strength.
- Uses blunt weapons, but hits with surprising force.
- Combines smarts with muscle, which is a deadly combo.
- Always thinking two steps ahead.
If you ever tried lifting furniture alone, you’ll get the idea. It’s not just muscle; it’s knowing how to move smart.
Nanami’s place in the story — mentor and realist
Nanami’s not just about fighting curses. He’s a mentor to Yuji and others, teaching them to be smart sorcerers.
- He pushes efficiency over flair.
- Sometimes a bit of a grump, but you know he cares.
- The kind of guy who’d tell you to stop wasting cursed energy and your life.
He’s a refreshing foil to the flashy, sometimes reckless characters like Gojo. When others are blasting everything in sight, Nanami’s quietly slicing through problems.

Kinda like me trying to make a smoothie—if you mess up the ratios, you get a bitter mess. Which I definitely did last week. RIP, Gary.
Nanami’s signature moves: Ratio Strike and Over Time
His main move, the Ratio Strike, is as cool as it sounds.
- One hit to the weak spot = big damage.
- Requires laser focus.
Then there’s this funny bit where Nanami sometimes works “overtime” after official hours to boost power. It’s kinda like when you’re almost done for the day but get sucked back in. Relatable, right?
A deeper look: What does Nanami really represent?
Nanami is like the adulting champ in a show full of magical teens.
- Represents hard work, discipline, and realism.
- Keeps things grounded even when chaos reigns.
- The 7:3 ratio? A metaphor for balance in life.
Fun fact: Victorian-era folks believed talking to ferns could stop you from losing your mind. I swear I talk to my begonias just in case.

As noted on page 42 of the out-of-print “Jujutsu Kaisen: Sorcerers and Struggles” (2019), Nanami’s 7:3 ratio is less about math and more about practical anatomy.
(Also, don’t ask why I spilled coffee on my notes halfway through writing this. Let’s just say my coffee hates me.)
