Hitomi Orihime

Hitomi's battle style is very swift and cunning. She often taunts her enemies with sarcastically sweet comments and cocky jabs.

Despite her bubbly demeanor, Hitomi has a strong sense of justice and is more than willing to brutally punish curses for bringing harm to humanity. Hitomi is very straightforward and always retains her calm and aloof personality in most situations.

While it may not be regarded as extremely powerful right off the bat, her technique is very versatile. Due to the threads cursed energy absorption abilities she is able to effectively match her opponent or even surpass them as the fight drags out. The more powerful the enemy, the more cursed energy to gather and counter them. It is said the more in danger you are the more powerful you'll be.

She can utilize thread spinning technique to it's fullest. Using it for close combat or offense, she can also set up traps and fight from far away distances. It increases mobility and can act as defense. With RCT she can even heal to certain point, such as closing wounds and reattaching limbs.

Thread-Spinning Technique - The user can manipulate their cursed energy to create threads they can freely control. These threads are nearly imperceptible, however they can be seen if they catch light. Their energy can also be sensed, although it typically isn't strong enough to draw unwarranted attention. Their range is limited within a 100-meter radius of the user, and the number that can be created is limited to the number of fingers the user has. Normally that's ten, but someone like Sukuna, with four arms, could use twenty. The standard offensive usage for this technique is to use them like whips, as they're razor-sharp and will leave lacerations. The stronger the user, the deeper they'll cut. If the user so wished, they could also "pull their punches" so to speak and thicken the threads to make them more blunt and less lethal. These will leave nasty welts and bruises, but won't otherwise harm the target. The threads also simultaneously absorb cursed energy when it latches onto it making the user stronger. With it in reverse the threads amplify negative energy turning it positive. This will drain the user when they heal.

Control - The user can anchor their threads to anything and manipulate it like a puppet. This technique requires tremendous concentration, as it is essentially exerting one's will over that of another's. It works better on inanimate objects that resemble living things, like mannequins or dolls. These require little to no concentration, as they have no will of their own, but they can still be moved like the thing the resemble. It'll still work just fine on people and curses, though it's more effective on those of weaker willpower than the user. "Control" can also be forcefully dispelled if someone, either the target themselves or a third party, manages to break the threads or their connection to the target. The effectiveness increases with the user's power and the strength of their own willpower.


Bind - The user's threads can be reinforced with more cursed energy to restrain an individual for a time, and they will tighten around the target like a boa constrictor. The duration depends on how much cursed energy was used to bolster the threads, as this technique actively burns through it the moment it's activated. It's most useful at the beginning of battle, when the user has the most cursed energy. It is, however, unwise to pour all of one's power into this technique. Powerful cursed spirits and people can manage break out just fine. Though, the more threads that are used to bind an individual, the harder it is to do that. Blunt threads are normally used to make this technique non-lethal, however thin ones could also be used to slice the user's target like minced meat as the threads coil tighter around them. Curses will be exorcised and disappear once the threads cut far enough into them, unless they have a human vessel like the Cursed Wombs: Death Paintings. While a target is bound, the user could toss them around like the Hulk did to Loki and Thor. Of course, this does require them to be physically strong enough to even be able do that in the first place.


Tripwire - The user can anchor their threads to two separate points per each one to create a trap for their target. It can be used to create a standard tripwire, or for something more elaborate. A trap could even be created around the target without their notice if the user is careful enough, and it can render them immobile if they don't want to get hurt. Such a trap would resemble the stereotypical laser defense systems seen in heist movies. Only, hitting a thread wouldn't set off an alarm. It would just leave you with a cut, the severity of which would depend on how hard you hit it. Breaking the threads in this technique will cause them to snap like rubber bands and hit you anyway, so doing that is ill-advised if you're adverse to pain. It'll hurt like a bitch for sure, but it won't kill you. The best use for this technique is to flee from battle, as it isn't particularly strong. At best, it serves as a momentary delay to hinder the user's opponent. But a moment may be all they need to escape a stronger adversary.


Grapple - If the user ever dreamed of being Spider-Man, this is that wish fulfilled. They can sling threads to improve mobility by anchoring one end to their target surface. It's particularly useful in urban environments or wooded areas with tall trees, for obvious reasons. It's kinda hard to swing around from things that are close to the ground, after all. This technique could also be used like a grappling hook to simply scale tall skyscrapers, cliff faces, and the like if the user lacks the momentum to simply swing to the top. Either way is not any more or less effective than the other. If the user wanted to, they could also anchor their threads to a living thing to pull it closer without controlling it like a puppet. That could be handy if you wanted to pull someone off of somewhere high up, like a balcony.


Anchoring - Attaching a thread to something involves the end of a thread stabbing into the target, and the user sending their cursed energy through it to keep the other end stuck inside the target. It could be ripped out, but a chunk of whatever the thread is anchored to will probably come off with it. If the target happens to be a person, it would be wiser for them to find a way to cut through the thread, or to get the user to release them. Could you imagine getting not only one, but ten chunks of flesh getting torn from your body? Ouch.

cocoon coffin- Spinning thread around the target, this will seal them completely and make them immobile. It can also be used as a way to protect comrades or exorcise cursed spirits.

Tangled Web of the Weaver - This will anything within its effective range, and the Domain takes the form of a giant spider's nest. The range varies depending on the strength of the user, but it cannot ever exceed 150 meters regardless. The user could choose a smaller range if they so wished, to keep from trapping innocents. The surroundings of the Tangled Web itself is like a labyrinth of traps, making it hard to see where attacks are coming from or where you've been. Not that it matters; everything caught in the web is trapped like a fly, and it slowly drains cursed energy from the foe. It is exceedingly difficult to break free from the web, however a powerful enough individual could manage it. This may allow them more mobility, but it doesn't exempt them from the guaranteed hits. The Domain itself is impossible to escape from within anyway, even if you manage to break free of the Web. Your only hope is to expand your own Domain or have an ally break in to rescue you. While the Tangled Web of the Weaver is in effect, the user is also granted temporary access to a shikigami of sorts in the form of a giant white spider. It cannot be summoned outside the Domain, even if the user is also a shikigami user. This spider, called the Weaver, can be used to cocoon anything that has been trapped in the Tangled Web. Once something is cocooned, it will bite it to inject it with a non-toxic venom meant to render it unconscious. It can also be ordered by the user to eat whatever it has cocooned, which is particularly useful against cursed spirits as that will instantly exorcise them.

Heartstring armor- The user will create an armor of cursed threads from their heart that shoot off from their body. These threads will attack on their own and protect the user in a black armor. The strings will absorb cursed energy they make contact with draining the enemy rapidly.

Dark Web- The user will essentially make a unavoidable weaving of black threads that can be launched like a net or cage. It will rapidly absorb the cursed energy of whoever is unlucky enough to be caught in it.

World Wide Web- The user sends out multiple strings to connect with surrounding cursed energy/life forms. It can absorb shares of power to unleash an ultimate attack.

Inverted stitching, wound weaving: when ever the user is hurt with an open wound or blood loss they either fill his or her body with thread to stop the bleeding or stitch the open wound. With practice the user can reattach blood vessels, nerves, bone and muscle completely. The energy flowing through the threads will radiate a healing pulse that not only numbs the pain but also cleans out bacteria. This technique is very useful for healing others and was the main reason the Orihime family was able to thrive in the medical field.

Since the technique utilizes magical threads, Hitomi can heal panda and sew up clothes. Making her the only person who can repair panda besides principal Yaga.

This technique only works on open wounds, so bruises she can't heal. If the wound is internal she will insert her strings through the skin as microscopic incisions. She can perform surgeries without needing to slice someone open.

Entangling Bride: Jorogumo- After absorbing a specific amount of cursed energy, the users body has a choice to either dispel the energy with attacks or temporarily transform into a spider cursed spirit. The user will gain tremendous power but also subsequently loose control over their human half. Sukuna plans on turning Hitomi into a modern day Jorogumo.

According to the Orihime Grimoire, their family lineage is from the cursed spirit Jorogumo falling in love and having a child who could posses her cursed energy. Jorogumo was known for seducing and devouring men she came across in her forest. But she fell in love with a logger man who persistently pined for her regardless of the warnings. He later drowned for her and she decided to keep and bare his children.
