NanaHito

NanaHito is the Slash ship between Nanami Kento and Mahito from the ''Jujutsu Kaisen fandom.

Vs. Mahito Arc
After Nanami and Yuji Itadori were called to investigate three transfigured humans in a cinema, Nanami follows the curse residuals left on the crime scene by Mahito. He finds the other in the sewer system where they meet for the first time and their first fight occurs. Nanami realizes his technique is not a very good match up against Mahito's idle tranfiguration and soul manipulation. He then decides to strike a final blow into the sewers wall, causing Mahito to be buried under the rubble. Once Nanami withdraws, Mahito is approached by Pseudo-Geto and tells him about his experience with Nanami.

The next time the two meet is during a fight happening at Junpei Yoshino's school. After Junpei dies and Yuji takes the fight outside the building, Nanami appears between them, blocking Mahitos attack. Mahito seems pleased with Nanamis arrival, even jokes about them sharing a hug before the three of them go back to continuing the fight. Mahito at some point traps Nanami in his domain, leaving Yuji outside. In the end, he's unsuccessful to injure Nanami as his domain gets broken into by Yuji.

Sometime before Shibuya, Nanami tells Gojo about Mahito.

Shibuya Incident Arc
At some point during Shibuya Incident Mahito splits himself into two, his copy is seen running outside the underground station while his original self goes to find Yuji Itadori. However the next time he's seen, he's hiding in a photobooth, watching as Nanami walks through the corridor, barely alive after sustaining almost fatal injuries from Jogos attack. Nanami stops for a moment to think, before going in to fight a group of transfigured humans. Mahito suddenly appears in front of him, placing his hand on Nanamis chest and asking for a small chat. He mentions how they "go way back" but before the two can exchange more words, Yuji runs into the room, and Mahito kills Nanami by using idle transfiguration on him.

Fanon
NanaHito has 116 works under its name on Archive of our Own. It is Mahito's most popular ship and Nanami's fifth most popular. Fans like the ship because they appreciate their interactions, their contrasting personalities and ideologies. Nanami is responsible, reserved and can be quite stoic while Mahito is sadistic and childish. Nanami believes it's his responsibility as an adult to look after children like Yuji, while Mahito has no sympathy for human lives and likes toying with them, even if they are children. Nanami doesn't like being a jujutsu sorcerer because it is a dangerous and demanding job for crazy people while Mahito enjoys improving his skill and cursed technique.
