Jūgo (重吾, Jūgo) is a shinobi from an unknown clan,[2] who was being held at Orochimaru's
Northern Base, which was also where most of Orochimaru's secret
research was conducted. Jūgo was said have gone to Orochimaru of his own
free will, hoping that Orochimaru would cure him from his rages. He was
recruited as a member of Sasuke Uchiha's group Taka (formerly Hebi).
Jūgo and Kimimaro.
Jūgo's personality is usually quiet and unassuming, but, when
angered, those around him stand little chance of survival. At one point,
he became so angry that he destroyed a village and all of its
inhabitants. This has caused others to label him as the "Scales", where
anything could tip the balance. Cursing his existence, he took to
secluding himself in caves, hoping to bring no one any harm. This lasted
until Kimimaro came to him, who was himself the last remnant of the Kaguya clan.
Following Kimimaro, Jūgo allowed himself to be one of Orochimaru's test
subjects. Upon examination, Orochimaru was able to isolate enzymes in
Jūgo's blood that caused him to transform. By extracting these enzymes,
Orochimaru was able to use them to produce similar, but more controlled,
effects in other people, leading to the creation of the cursed seal. As time passed, Kimimaro died, and Jūgo shut himself away once more.
While Jūgo initially appeared quite bloodthirsty, Karin
noted that this was only common behaviour when he was enraged; Jūgo
himself didn't want to kill anyone. Jūgo's fits of rage are random, and
thus, the reason why he willingly remains confined. The only reason he
agreed to go with Sasuke is because he views Sasuke as the only person
capable of preventing him from killing people while enraged, by the
means of killer intent or the Sharingan.
Before Sasuke, it was Kimimaro who kept Jūgo in check, and as Kimimaro
was the only person Jūgo came into any contact with, the two grew close.
After hearing that Kimimaro sacrificed his life to deliver Sasuke to
Orochimaru, Jūgo believes that Kimimaro's spirit continues to live on in
Sasuke.
Suigetsu couldn't stand Jūgo at first, and commented that one of the reasons he had to retrieve the Kubikiribōchō
was because of him. Karin noted that Jūgo is mentally unstable, a view
confirmed when Jūgo was muttering to himself over who he would kill
next, which he would determine by gender. While discussing Sasuke Uchiha's team with the other members of Akatsuki, Pain referred to Jūgo as Jūgo of the Scales (天秤の重吾, Tenbin no Jūgo; Viz
"Bipolar Jugo"), referencing his dual personality. According to the
third databook, he is cowardly (in his normal state) and violent (when
his enzymes overtake him).
Jūgo as a child after saving Sasuke.
Jūgo is a tall, lean-built young man who, has spiky orange hair, and a
usually calm face. However, when affected by his murderous side, his
skin turns dark, and he grows various weapons and appendages to suit his
battle combat situation, as well as having a deranged look. Jūgo has a
bracket-shaped symbol on his left palm.[3]
Whether or not this has any significance has yet to be seen. He is the
tallest human character in the series whose precise height (202.1 cm) is
known. When Jūgo was first introduced, he wore a pale blue shirt and
pale green shorts. Later when Tamaki tried to find him some clothes, he wore black pants, a tan shirt and brown sandals. After Taka had allied with Akatsuki, Jugo was shown wearing an Akatsuki robe.
Jūgo is able to understand and communicate with animals, such as
birds, and is able to request them to help him accomplish tasks, such as
acting as scouts or gathering information they have already witnessed.[4][5]
Like other members of his clan, Jūgo possesses a special body that
grants him the innate ability to continually absorb any ambient natural energy, which in turn provides him with sudden and involuntary surges of power.[2]
However, this comes with a considerable downside as, due to their
bodies constantly taking in this particular energy, it causes him and
the members of the clan to sporadically go berserk.[2] Jūgo during a partial transformation.
Jūgo's clan abilities serve as the origin of Orochimaru's Juinjutsu
that he brands his various followers with, which were created using
Jūgo's own bodily fluids that were then injected into the intended
individual.[6]
As such, he is able to use its power to its full extent without it
eroding his body. Unlike those who have been given a cursed seal, Jūgo
is not limited to one transformation, and can enter whatever form is
best for the situation. He can change what form he takes almost
instantly and can isolate the transformation to parts of his body. In
this form, Jūgo has incredible speed shown when he was able to approach
Killer B from behind unnoticed.[7] Jūgo transforming completely.
If he fully transforms, Jūgo gains a massive power boost but loses
his mind to his murderous side, signified by a change in his voice. When
transforming, Jūgo's skin turns dark and his sclera
turn black. He also gains a black stripe running from the middle of his
forehead and down the bridge of his nose. In this full form, Jūgo is
incredibly resilient, being able to take a punch from the Fourth Raikage that penetrated both his arm and chest, yet still managing to retaliate almost immediately with ease despite the injury.[8] Jūgo creating an axe.
Jūgo has changed his body into a number of forms during his
appearances. At his début, he changed his left arm into a piston-like
ram to increase his punching power, and then altered it into a massive
axe blade to counter Suigetsu's sword.[9]
While Taka was fighting Killer B, Jūgo formed boosters on his arm that
allowed him to throw his team-mates to safety and boosters in his back
to increase his jumping speed. He was also capable of extending his arm
in order to catch targets several feet away from him. When he entered a
full level 2 form during Taka's fight with the Fourth Raikage, he made a
number of chakra cannons on his back that were capable of devastating
the area.[8]
Jūgo considers those who have received one of Orochimaru's cursed seals to be one of his "copies" and, since they have proven compatible with the cursed seal, he is able to give them some of his flesh to heal their injuries.[10] This has the side effect of shrinking him and giving him an overall younger appearance. He can similarly absorb
others to heal his own injuries and return him to his original 'adult'
form, though they do not need to be curse seal recipients.[11]
Jūgo and Suigetsu caught by Sasuke's snakes.
After defeating Orochimaru, and recruiting Suigetsu and Karin, Sasuke Uchiha
travelled to Orochimaru's North Base, to recruit Jūgo. Initially
unwilling to join forces with Sasuke, Jūgo tapped into his ability, but
was then frightened into releasing it by Sasuke's killer intent. He then
joined the newly formed Hebi in their mission to hunt down and kill Akatsuki's Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke's older brother.
Jūgo would later discover multiple hidden bases belonging to the
Akatsuki, where Sasuke confronted a clone of Itachi in one of them, who
challenged Sasuke to meet him at the Uchiha clan stronghold. Jūgo
remained behind with the other members of Hebi and Kisame Hoshigaki as Sasuke confronted Itachi.
Jūgo attacks Killer B.
After Itachi's death, and Sasuke's "education" in his brother's true past by Tobi, Jūgo and the other members of Hebi were reformed into Taka. Having allied themselves with the Akatsuki, Taka was sent to capture the Eight-Tails, so that it could be extracted from its host, Killer B. Infiltrating Kumogakure, they confronted Killer B, only to have him defeat Suigetsu. When Jūgo attempted to defeat him as well, Killer B overpowered him using the sword he stole from Suigetsu.
After Sasuke was critically injured, Jūgo tells Karin that she
did not have enough chakra to heal him and starts to infuse some of his
flesh with Sasuke, to heal his wounds, saying it would work as he was
compatible with his cursed seal. This however somehow reduced him to a
younger appearance. When their team started working together, Jūgo
concentrated on removing his team-mates from danger, even though he
initially objected to rescuing Karin, as he thought she would die from
Sasuke's Amaterasu.
Sasuke was eventually able to capture Killer B, albeit a fake,
and Jūgo recuperated with the rest of Taka. As Taka rested in one of
Akatsuki's hideouts, Karin senseda spy had followed them. Jūgo and Sasuke went and intercepted him, and left the hideout for a new one shortly after.
Taka heading to Konoha.
Taka later set out for Konoha. On their way they were intercepted by Tobi who informed them that Konoha had already been destroyed. Zetsu, who suddenly appeared, then explained that a man named Danzō had been named Hokage.
As per Tobi's advice and orders, Sasuke changes their goal to the Kage
Summit. Taka is then guided by Zetsu, who had split up into two bodies.
Jūgo and the rest of Taka arrived at the Land of Iron,
and after Suigetsu scouted the area and reported there are many guards,
Sasuke tells Jūgo to use animals to find the least guarded route. Their
presence is soon discovered and Sasuke engages the samurai
that come after them. When Karin becomes preoccupied worrying about
Sasuke, Jūgo tells her to continue looking for Danzō while he goes to
help Sasuke.
Jūgo attacks the Fourth Raikage.
Taka is attacked by Kumo-nin that Jūgo identifies as two jōnin and the Fourth Raikage.
Knowing their presence will make it difficult for Karin to locate Danzō
without exposing herself, Jūgo resolves to killing them. He fully
transforms into his Curse Seal level 2 and goes into his murderous
mental state. The Raikage quickly overwhelms him and forces him into a
wall, punching through a defensive shield on his arm and into his chest.
Though he has seemingly been killed, Jūgo smirks and aims dozens of boosters
from his back straight at the Raikage, firing them at point-blank
range. Believing the Raikage to be dead, Jūgo prepares to attack someone
else, but he is then hit again by the Raikage with a sudden elbow
strike. Jūgo smashes against the wall and seems to be knocked
unconscious.[12] Jūgo absorbing a samurai.
As the battle unfolds, Sasuke destroys the room they are in and Jūgo,
having regained consciousness, is buried in rubble. He absorbs the body
of a nearby samurai, healing his wounds and returning him to an adult
state. He is later seen with Suigetsu, who suggests that they follow the
Raikage and Sasuke. Jūgo tells him not to do so because they would be
killed. However, Suigetsu says that he has a plan in mind. They try
dressing up as samurai to flee the area, but are quickly discovered and
imprisoned by the samurai.
Suigetsu breaking Jūgo out of his prison cell.
As the war was being waged, Suigetsu and Jūgo escape their cell in
the Land of Iron, having taken care of the guards, and stating that
security had got looser. Jūgo thinks they should look for Sasuke, but
settles for helping Suigetsu find his sword. They also decide they
should look for Karin.
When they are unable to find Suigetsu's sword, Jūgo asks Suigetsu
why he is so serious about it. Suigetsu tells him a bit about the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist,
telling him about its swords and those who wielded them in the past.
Jūgo learns that it's Suigetsu's dream to reform the Swordsmen, and to
become their leader. Suigetsu also states that he is nicer than Karin.
Jūgo and Suigetsu escape from the samurai compound. They walk
through a forest and discuss their plans. As Jūgo wonders if Karin and
Sasuke were all right, Suigetsu tells him that even if they reunited
with Sasuke and Karin, it wouldn't be a grand reunion of sorts as Karin
wanted Sasuke to herself in order to seduce him. As they continue
onwards, Jūgo asks if they would continue looking for swords or find
Sasuke and Karin, Suigetsu tells him that they'd continue to get in
Karin's way which was his second favourite thing to do after collecting
swords. They proceed to head towards one of Orochimaru's hideouts.
After receiving intelligence from the birds about the war that
was currently going on, Jūgo questions Suigetsu's motives for staying
with Taka. During their conversation, Jūgo loses control of himself and
violently attacks Suigetsu sending the upper half of his watery body
crashing into a wall. This reveals Orochimaru's secret room and with it,
information that Suigetsu claims will be beneficial to them.
