Miguel Oduol, a towering, muscular Kenyan sorcerer, cuts a striking figure with his armless sunglasses, oversized beret, and hoop earrings. His wardrobe—a short-sleeve jacket, dark pants, and vibrant red shoes—gains a patterned hoodie during his reluctant mentorship of Yuta Okkotsu. Born into a lineage famed for crafting the Black Rope, a special-grade cursed tool that neutralizes techniques like Satoru Gojo’s Infinity, Miguel’s heritage anchors his combat prowess. As a commander under Suguru Geto, he championed the vision of a sorcerer-dominated world. During the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, Miguel clashed with Gojo, leveraging the Black Rope to pierce Infinity and endure prolonged combat. Though outmatched, his tenacity and tactical ingenuity earned him the event’s “MVP” title before Gojo forcibly recruited him. Post-Geto’s downfall, Miguel retreated to Kenya but acquiesced to training Yuta under Gojo’s directive, honing the young sorcerer’s cursed energy control. Despite simmering resentment toward Gojo, he maintained a pragmatic rapport with Yuta, sharing occasional meals while sidestepping direct clashes with his former rival. Miguel’s signature technique, Prayer Song, channels rhythmic physical motions to amplify strength, agility, and curse resistance. Enhanced by foreign cursed energy and battle-tested reflexes, this technique lets him evade Sukuna’s assaults and adapt mid-fight, earning Gojo’s praise for his precision in close-quarters movement. Loyalty to Geto shaped his early allegiances, though he diverged from his faction’s contempt for non-sorcerers. After Geto’s death, he withdrew briefly but reentered conflicts to avenge fallen allies, notably in the New Tokyo showdown. Bonds with comrades like Larue reflect familial ties, while his dynamic with Yuta blends grudging respect with lingering friction toward Gojo. Though the Black Rope dwindled post-Gojo, Miguel’s strategic endurance persists, evident in later skirmishes against Sukuna. His arc—from antagonist to uneasy ally—mirrors the series’ themes of fluid loyalties, despite critiques of his abrupt role as Yuta’s mentor.
