How Toji Fushiguro Would Really Train in Real Life
Toji Fushiguro isn’t just one of the most dangerous characters in Jujutsu Kaisen — he’s also one of the most realistically attainable anime physiques you could build in real life. I’m Paris Demers, a personal trainer with over a decade of experience, and today we’re breaking down exactly how Toji would need to train to develop his lightning-fast speed, bone-shattering explosive power, and his jacked, athletic build.

Who Toji Fushiguro Is — and Why His Training Matters
Born into the powerful Zenin Clan, Toji was cursed with a Heavenly Restriction that left him with zero cursed energy. In a world where magical ability determines your worth, this made him an outcast. But what Toji lost in cursed techniques, he gained back tenfold in raw physical ability.
With near-superhuman strength, speed, and durability, Toji became the feared “Sorcerer Killer.” He built his body and combat skills to such a high level that he could defeat powerful sorcerers using nothing but his own athleticism, tactical mind, and a deadly arsenal of weapons.
That combination of speed, explosive power, and aesthetic muscle is exactly what we’ll break down here — and how you can train for it yourself.
The Athletic Foundation — Why Toji Moves Like a Predator
Toji’s fighting style is built on speed and rotational power. He doesn’t just move forward and back — he strikes from angles, twists his entire body into attacks, and uses full-body coordination to generate force.
Most gym training happens in the sagittal or frontal plane (straight forward or side to side). But combat happens in the transverse plane — the plane of rotation. Toji’s swings, punches, and weapon strikes would all rely on rotational strength and explosive hip drive.
Gym work to build this:
-
Landmine rotations & punches — to overload rotational power.
-
Lateral medicine ball throws — to build explosive twist strength.
-
Rotational core work — to stabilize and transfer force into strikes.
Pro fighters do this for the same reason: specific strength work makes your real-world skills sharper and more powerful.
Lower-Body Power — His Secret to Lightning Speed
You see Toji darting through the battlefield, changing direction faster than his enemies can track. That comes from explosive leg drive and fast-twitch power.
Training that builds this:
-
Broad jumps & power cleans — to turn raw strength into quick force.
-
Kettlebell swings & sprint work — to build explosive hip extension.
-
Agility-focused conditioning — for sudden starts and stops under control.
This is what turns a strong body into a dangerously fast one.
Why Athletic Training Alone Won’t Build His Physique
Explosive training is great for power — but not enough to build Toji’s dense, muscular frame. Power work creates short bursts of tension, not the long, deep stretches that drive hypertrophy.
For muscle growth, you need:
-
Mechanical tension through full range of motion.
-
Controlled eccentrics (the lowering phase).
-
Enough weekly volume to stimulate growth.
This is where classic bodybuilding moves come in: weighted pull-ups, deep dumbbell presses, full-range squats, curls, and other exercises that load muscles through a stretch and keep tension long enough to grow.
Fueling the Transformation
All this training is wasted if you’re not eating to support it. Toji’s physique would require high protein, controlled calories, and consistency. Tracking macros — at least for a few months — helps you actually see progress instead of spinning your wheels.
