Susan JessicaAlright, let’s start with the basics: Jujutsu Kaisen is filled with fascinating, complex characters, and Noritoshi Kamo stands out in a way that pulls you in. From his cunning intellect to his cold, strategic approach, Kamo is someone you can’t help but admire—and fear a little too. I had this idea, see? What if I could somehow mirror him? Maybe not in every way, but if I could channel even a fraction of Noritoshi Kamo’s control and brilliance, I’d be unstoppable. Spoiler alert: I got overwhelmed pretty quickly.
Step 1: Mimicking His Cold Demeanor
It started with the most obvious trait of Noritoshi Kamo—his emotionless, calculated attitude. He’s the kind of person who stays calm under pressure, no matter the stakes. The guy’s not fazed by anything. I figured, how hard could it be to act a little cooler, a little more composed? After all, if Kamo can do it, why can’t I?
But, man, was I wrong. I tried this out at work one day, practicing my best Kamo impersonation—keeping my face neutral, not letting any emotions slip. Yeah, that lasted, like, half a day. Kamo makes it look easy, but when you actually try to suppress every reaction to everything, you start feeling like you’re running on fumes. By the time my friend Brad asked me to help him move, I wanted to throw the boxes at him just out of sheer frustration. I couldn’t pretend to be like Noritoshi Kamo for long before the emotional exhaustion hit me like a ton of bricks. Kamo’s cold demeanor was impossible to maintain—at least, for me.
Step 2: His Strategic Mind—Or My Total Lack of It
Now, here’s where it got interesting. Noritoshi Kamo isn’t just some emotionally distant character; he’s a strategic genius. His brain is always in motion, thinking two, three, even five steps ahead of everyone else. I figured, if I could think like Kamo, my life would be a well-planned masterpiece. I tried applying Kamo’s mindset to everything—from decisions at work to picking my dinner. (Yes, I was overthinking the menu at the local sushi place. Don’t judge.)
But there’s a problem. Kamo’s strategy isn’t just about planning your next move—it’s about anticipating every possible outcome, being so meticulous with every detail that no one can ever get the upper hand. I’m not a total idiot, but I soon realized I was not equipped to play the high-stakes game Kamo plays. I spent hours trying to plan, analyze every decision, and guess what? It left me more anxious and second-guessing myself than ever. Kamo’s level of intellect is just out of my league. If he’s playing 3D chess, I’m still figuring out checkers.
And let’s be real—his strategy is about more than just thinking things through. Kamo’s ability to adapt on the fly is what makes him so dangerous. I found myself stuck in loops of over-analysis, Googling strategies that would make Kamo proud, but I could barely make a decision without spiraling. I was starting to wonder if I was just wasting my time—Kamo’s level of intelligence isn’t something that can be picked up overnight.
Step 3: The Dark Side of Noritoshi Kamo
Here’s where things took a turn for the worse. Noritoshi Kamo has a side to him that’s downright dark. This guy has big plans for the world, and to him, the ends always justify the means. He’s got a messed-up view on the world—one that values power over everything else. Trying to channel that side of him? Yeah, that didn’t go well.
When I attempted to copy his darker qualities, I started questioning my own values. I’m not a bad person, but somehow, I was being influenced by Kamo’s ruthless attitude. It wasn’t just about being strategic anymore; I found myself thinking in terms of control and manipulation, like Kamo. I remember one day, a small, silly thing like my neighbor asking for sugar became an internal debate: “Do I have to help her, or is this a way to assert dominance?” It was absurd, and honestly, it scared me. I was losing touch with who I really was. I didn’t want to turn into the cold, unfeeling person that Kamo is—it felt wrong.
The more I tried to take on his mindset, the more I became detached. And not in a “I’m zen” kind of way, but in a “I don’t care about anyone or anything” way. This was a wake-up call. Kamo’s views on power and control are part of what makes him so dangerous. That was not a path I wanted to follow. Trying to replicate that side of Kamo was mentally and emotionally draining, and honestly, it wasn’t worth it.
Step 4: Power—Or My Lack of Supernatural Abilities
Now let’s talk about the thing that makes Noritoshi Kamo stand out even more—his immense power. The guy can manipulate blood, and his cursed energy abilities are top-tier. The moment I realized I couldn’t magically start manipulating blood, I felt deflated. I mean, Kamo’s power isn’t something you just pick up. It’s earned through intense training and mastery of cursed energy, and let’s face it—I don’t have cursed energy. The closest I get to feeling powerful is when I can open a pickle jar without asking for help.
But here’s the kicker: even if I hit the gym, even if I worked out and got stronger, I wasn’t going to replicate the supernatural power Kamo possesses. And that’s fine. There’s a difference between being physically strong and having the kind of power Kamo wields. He doesn’t just rely on raw strength—he controls his surroundings, his energy, and his enemies. I didn’t have any cursed energy. I didn’t even have a good excuse for why I kept forgetting to drink water. So yeah, trying to mimic Kamo’s power was a lost cause.
Step 5: The Psychological Toll
The deeper I got into this whole “mimic Kamo” experiment, the more I realized that it wasn’t just about replicating his traits—it was about losing myself in the process. I started thinking more like Kamo—cold, calculating, and detached—but not in the cool, calm, collected way. Instead, I was feeling exhausted, constantly overthinking, and losing sight of what actually mattered to me.
Trying to be like Kamo pushed me further away from my own personality. It was like trying to squeeze myself into a mold that just didn’t fit. It wasn’t just exhausting; it was depressing. I didn’t want to become a version of someone else, no matter how much I admired them.
Fast Forward to the Realization
After weeks of trying to adopt Noritoshi Kamo’s mindset, I threw in the towel. And honestly? I’m glad I did. The more I tried to mimic him, the more overwhelmed I became. Kamo’s mindset, his abilities, and his worldview were built for him, and trying to take that on was too much.
I finally realized that while it’s fine to admire someone, there’s a limit to how far you should go in trying to become them. I didn’t want to lose who I was in the process of trying to be like Kamo. I needed to accept that I wasn’t meant to be a perfect mimic of anyone. Instead, I needed to find strength in my own way.
Conclusion: Being Yourself Is the True Power
Here’s the thing: Noritoshi Kamo is an incredible character, but I’ve come to accept that I’ll never be him. His intellect, his strategy, and his power are unique to him—and that’s the beauty of Jujutsu Kaisen. Trying to embody him in every aspect of my life didn’t just leave me overwhelmed—it left me lost.
In the end, I realized that the real power isn’t in mimicking someone else—it’s in embracing who you are. Sure, I can learn from Kamo’s strengths, but I don’t have to lose myself in the process. Noritoshi Kamo may be one of the most fascinating characters in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe, but I don’t need to be him to find my own path to power. And that, my friends, is the lesson I needed to learn the hard way.
