Mito Jūjō/Relationships

Mito Jūjō attended First Shibuya High School and was well regarded as a member of the Jujo House, that served the ruling Hiragi family, something she had in common with Norito Goshi. She would share other students initial dislike of Guren Ichinose due to his family background and was frustrated that he would not defend himself. Becoming closer to Shigure Yukimi after they sparred, Mito would also befriend Sayuri Hanayori. After Kureto Hīragi tasked them with investigating the Hyakuya Sect, they would work together with Shinya Hīragi as well. Upon becoming members of the Moon Demon Company, specifically a member of Guren's squad, Mito would assist them and others in fighting against vampires who took the world. Mito interacts with various other characters throughout the Seraph of the End series, which affects herself and the story. This article details Mito's relationships with other characters.

Guren Ichinose
Like other people from prestigious clans, she initially looked down on Guren and participated in bullying him upon their first meeting. Having one question for him, Mito demanded to know whether he and Shinya were discussing her. Mito showed concern for Guren after he was struck by Shinya and was bleeding. Seeing that Sayuri and Shigure were waiting for Guren, she remarked him bringing two women as attendants showed that the people of the Ichinose house are utterly craven. Judging that Guren has so little talent yet still orders Shigure around, Mito says for him to release her since Guren is not qualified. However, this changed after he saved her and Norito from Hyakuya Sect soldiers' attack on First Shibuya High School. Relieved to find Guren alive where everyone else died, Mito fell into him as she cried. She started to offer help in training him (believing that he was weak), and urged him to stand up for himself. After seeing his true strength, Mito was angered having felt locked, and attempting to engage him in combat. Raising if how Guren had such power then why did he hide it, she felt others would not bully him if they knew. With Guren stating that he would be bullied because he is still an Ichinose, where his power was not registered, Mito was upset. Recalling a chorus of students addressing Guren as Ichinose scum, Mito comments how she said a lot of cruel things to him, and Guren had just accepted the insults said by her and the other students on purpose. Mito asks why Guren saved her even though he was supposed to be hiding his abilities. Despite Guren's answers that hiding his power was among his top priorities for the time being, she realized that if that were true, then he should have let Norito and herself die. Mito comments to Shigure that Guren is stronger than her, though his personality is pretty unpleasant. The two later came to believe that Guren is a misunderstood and lonely person from deep down. Mito eventually developed a crush on him, and in volume 6 of the light novels, she confessed her romantic feelings towards him. However, he maturely rejects her, but in a way so he would not hurt her feelings, and they both still considered each other as a very important companion to protect. Mito had always thought of Guren as someone, who she is deeply indebted to when believing that he has actually saved her multiple times.

When she is near the brink of being killed by the Hyakuya Sect, Guren rescued her, and Mito had compared him to that of prince charming in her mind. Even eight years later, she continues to have an infatuated, yet unrequited crush on him. Nevertheless, Mito tries to get involved with Guren whenever she possibly can if he is feeling depressed because he was the only one who treated her as a normal girl, unlike the strict policy within her family. Though their relationship still met with hostility every now and then, Mito began to show sympathy towards Guren and regrets the cold things she said to him in the past. This was shown when she grew worried about him and the things he is going through like his father's death. Another example was when she grew increasingly worried about the struggle Guren is going through, continuing to warm herself up to him. She is later shown to act against the will of her clan, such as when she and her squad go to Guren's home in Aichi Prefecture to comfort him after his father's death, and when she chooses to stay with Guren when he tells their squad that he intended to call Mahiru Hīragi for help, and those with him would probably be charged with treason, both of which would be subject to extreme punishment. In Vampire Reign, she acts like a classic tsundere to him, and interacts with him similar to their high school years, such as when she got riled up from Guren telling her to stop squeaking (which was one of the very first things he said to her). Like the rest of her squad, Mito is uncomfortable with Guren refusing to answer what burden he is carrying that lead him to slaughter their own soldiers, saying their squad was all family and believed they should share it.

Norito Goshi
As teenagers, the two butt heads, as he mocked her family for acting like they're all above every else, and said he'd "wipe the smirk off her face" once he became the head of his family in book 1 of the light novels. Commenting how Goshi was second class, Mito wonders if she was correct about her statement and whether Goshi was angered. Calling Goshi a vulgar man, Mito ordered him to stop his indecent talk in the classroom where he commented whether Guren was sleeping with Sayuri and Shigure. After the massacre, Mito was happy to see that Goshi was alive too. Mito would get annoyed by his teasing as well, shown when Goshi pokes at her when she scolds Guren for hiding his true strength. In book 4, Goshi shows care for Mito when saves and protects her from Guren once he witnessed him about to kill her, and they escaped the area together. Eight years later, they are on good terms, like she is with the rest of the team.

Sayuri Hanayori
Before departing for their first mission together Mito returns Sayuri's phone to her having used it to contact someone. Mito appears to have a very solid relationship with Sayuri, and in turn Sayuri shows great concern for her when wounded or hurt, as shown in the battle of Shinjuku where she came by her side and asked if she was okay. In the light novels, Mito has good admiration for her abilities as a bodyguard, and they soften up to one another after they all risk their lives for Guren.

Shigure Yukimi
When sixteen, Mito initially poked and made fun of her for serving under the Ichinose clan, deeming them weak. Shigure also showed disdain to her for insulting Guren. Her competition in the selection exams, Mito answered Shigure she could not hear what the second-rate was saying. Beset by multiple kunai from her, Mito comments on the hidden weapon and states it is fitting for a clan such as the Ichinose to use such under-handed tactics. After punching Shigure away, Mito asks for the referee to make it a draw. Approaching Shigure and asking if she was okay, it is about what Mito said before the match. She misunderstood what it meant to be a follower of the Ichinose then states Shigure is strong. Taking her hand, Mito questions whether Shigure would like to become a follower of the Jujo house. When she told her father about Shigure's ability, Mito shares he has grown quite fond of her then asks if she really does not want to come to her house. Though they don't interact much, she gets along with her well.

Shinoa Hīragi
When her squad arrived late, Shinoa fought against her, Guren, and Shinya as punishment for their tardiness. She could easily fend off Shinoa's attacks and after winning the fight, Mito scolded Shinoa for her team's lack of teamwork, and called her an incompetent squad leader.

Yūichirō Hyakuya
A 16-year-old soldier who gets special treatment from Guren. Mito is chosen alongside Shinya to battle against Yu and his squad as punishment for being late. She prevents his allies from backing him up by engaging them in combat and watches as Yu fights one on one against Guren.

Mel Stefano
Handling this nineteenth progenitor as a five member squad in Nagoya Mito and the rest of Guren's squad successfully defeat him.

Crowley Eusford
During a rescue mission in Nagoya Mito would engage this vampire noble in combat in an effort to rescue Guren from capture.

Basteya Irclu
Mito would be on standby to see what this invading vampire and member of the Hyakuya Sect army would do during the assault on Shibuya.

Shinya Hīragi
A friend from her high school days was adopted into the prestigious Hīragi family. For this reason, Mito holds Shinya in high regard as a Hīragi. Seeing Shinya join them, Mito is pleased to see that he is safe after the massacre. With Shinya saying Guren can lead the team to Ueno Zoo since his subordinates only liten to him, Mito speaks if that is what Shinya want. She battles alongside him at Nagoya when Guren chooses herself and Shinya to battle against Shinoa and her squad. With Shinya they both later attempt to rescue Guren when he is captured.

Mahiru Hīragi
In high school, Mito completely adored Mahiru and was very proud to be working under her. Mito went as far to refer to her as a "goddess" for her beauty and kindness towards others, and strongly admired her strength. She was surprised at hearing that Mahiru had been taken. Now, as Guren's weapon. She was killed by Mahiru and the rest of Guren squad (except Guren) prior to the apocalypse. Eight years later it would be clear she was involved in Guren's possession. After Mahiru becomes Guren's weapon, she hates her whenever she gets close to Guren or involved with him.

Kureto Hiragi
With Kureto drawing his sword on Guren to learn if he is hiding his abilities, or connections to the Hyakuya Sect, Mito calls to him that this boy does not have any secret power. Flinching when Kureto whispers whether house Jujo are traitors as well, Mito answers that rather than Guren's lover she is just a classmate. Mito attempts to articulate to Kureto that for the Ichinose scum to trouble someone like him to dissuade him from troubling Guren. In his office, Mito calls to Guren that Kureto told him to sit down. Hearing that troops sent to a Hyakuya Sect site were wiped out, Mito infers that Kureto wants them to act as the pawns. Reacting to being called talented.

Aoi Sangu
Finding Aoi and expressing familiarity with her, Mito asks what she is doing in the room they were called to with Kureto. As with her Jujo house, the Sangu house is under the headship of the Hiragi family.
