28 Inverse
Jiro Awasaka
- Technique Debut: Episode 35 (Summon)
The most impressive JJK techniques are those that exhibit creativity, allowing users to deceive opponents and deliver immense damage swiftly. An example of this is Inverse, a cursed technique that could have facilitated unique battles if wielded by a more strategic fighter. Regrettably, Jiro Awasaka, who was far from being a skilled combatant, struggled to pose a challenge to both Yuji and Megumi.
Inverse alters the impact level of attacks, where devastating punches feel harmless, while gentler jabs might yield significant destruction. This technique requires some degree of impact to show results; otherwise, the user could simply touch their opponent, delivering considerable damage with minimal effort.
27 Straw Doll Technique
Nobara Kugisaki
- Technique Debut: Episode 3 (Girl of Steel)
Amidst the powerful techniques in JJK, fans may overlook the Straw Doll Technique as relatively less formidable. However, it’s Nobara’s inventive approach to this power that establishes her as a formidable foe. Her resolute demeanor and clever tactics make her one of the most captivating characters among the newcomers to Tokyo Jujutsu High.
It’s unfortunate that Mahito’s brutal onslaught has sidelined her, but fans remain hopeful for her return, even as the current arc showcases her battling a jujutsu sorcerer whose might is so otherworldly that she’ll require considerable support to withstand Sukuna’s overwhelming powers. Utilizing her Straw Doll Technique alongside others against Sukuna could certainly result in an electrifying conclusion to this thrilling conflict.
26 Puppet Manipulation
Kokichi Muta
- Technique Debut: Episode 14 (Kyoto Sister School Goodwill Event – Team Battle, Part 0)
Kokichi Muta is a character that fans cherish, a frail individual striving to achieve a healthy physique by any means. His Binding Vow with Mahito and his associates raised eyebrows, yet he emerged as a heroic figure attempting to leverage his Puppet Manipulation ability against foes. Sadly, he fell short against Mahito and Kenjaku’s combined might.
While manipulating puppets might appear less impactful compared to other JJK techniques, those who master it can inflict substantial damage when conditions align perfectly. Considerable preparation is necessary to create a puppet of immense strength, and Kokichi demonstrated that he could challenge formidable jujutsu sorcerers, even if he didn’t survive a particularly harsh battle.
25 Disaster Tides
Dagon
- Technique Debut: Episode 7 (Assault)
Among the antagonists featured in the series, Dagon has had limited screen time. However, he took center stage during the Shibuya Incident arc, where fans witnessed his innate technique, Disaster Tides. Although manipulating water might seem less impressive, Dagon astonished viewers with the sheer force and volume of water he can control, tailor-made to his needs.
This extraordinary command over his cursed technique positions Disaster Tides as a formidable technique that Jujutsu Sorcerers need to be consistently vigilant against. His capacity to unleash water with such swiftness that it can incapacitate foes serves as a testament to the might of this JJK power.
24 Ice Formation
Uraume
- Technique Debut: Episode 46 (Transformation, Part 2)
Given the extensive array of imaginative JJK abilities showcased in Jujutsu Kaisen, one could assume a cursed technique involving ice might not stand out in battle. Fortunately, Uraume’s character imbues this seemingly simple power with ample intrigue, making it exceptionally captivating when deployed.
Her control over cryogenic powers underscores why she is seen as one of the mightiest jujutsu sorcerers in the series.
22 Reason
Kento Nanami
- Technique Debut: Episode 9 (Young Fish and Reverse Punishment)
Kento Nanami stands out as one of the more distinct characters in Jujutsu Kaisen. He embodies the persona of a seasoned sorcerer, adopting a calm and analytical approach during encounters, a trait he prominently showcases.
Due to his strategic mindset, it’s clear why he employs a complicated Ratio technique. By dividing foes into ten segments and targeting the pivotal 7:3 ratio, Kento can exploit this region as a vulnerability, delivering tremendous damage.
21 Boogie Woogie
Aoi Todo
- Technique Debut: Episode 15 (Kyoto Sister School Goodwill Event – Team Battle, Part 1)
While Boogie Woogie may not rank as the most potent technique on this list, its effectiveness hinges on howAoi Todo wields it, transforming it into a formidable Jujutsu ability. With a single clap, Todo can swap places with any object or individual infused with Cursed Energy.
This innovative tactic in combat is truly unmatched, allowing Todo to confuse opponents and execute clever strategies to secure an advantage. His quirky personality and immense strength further elevate what could be seen as a basic Cursed Technique into a highlight of the series.
20 Projection Sorcery
Naobito Zenin, Naoya Zenin
- Technique Debut: Episode 38 (Fluctuations)
One of the most impressive techniques seen during the Shibuya Incident was wielded by a member of the Zenin clan. Although quickly dispatched, Naobito Zenin left fans in awe with his visually stunning ability.
His unique Projection Sorcery powers enable him to ensnare enemies in a state where they must abide by the 24 FPS rule, leaving them immobilized if they fail to comply, allowing the sorcerer to eliminate these targets effortlessly.
19 Construction
Mai Zenin, Yorozu
- Technique Debut: Episode 17 (Kyoto Sister School Goodwill Event – Team Battle, Part 3)
The possibilities of Construction are vast, as the capability to materialize objects from cursed energy can be transformative in the hands of an individual with limitless potential. Presently, the only character to utilize this power is Mai Zenin, who needs an entire day’s worth of Cursed Energy to create a single bullet.
A new sorceress named Yorozu is set to showcase this technique during the Culling Game saga, and fans eagerly await to see the true extent of this cursed technique’s capabilities in the anime.
18 Disaster Plants
Cherry Blossom
- Technique Debut: Episode 7 (Assault)
In discussions of Hanami, his formidable Cursed Ability cannot be overlooked. His ability to infuse plants with Cursed Energy for sinister agendas is commendable.
Additionally, he can draw life energy from these plants to heal himself. In summary, Disaster Plants is a potent technique that fans are eager to see explored more in-depth in the anime. The confrontation with Todo and Itadori was entertaining, although a single attack from Gojo was sufficient to demonstrate Hanami’s overwhelming disadvantage.
17 Brain Transplant
My Kenja
- Technique Debut: Episode 33 (The Shibuya Incident – Gate Open)
The image of Kenjaku’s brain smiling at Gojo from within the body of his former ally is one of the most memorable visuals in Jujutsu Kaisen, a series that often focuses on spectacular clashes. While not extensively depicted in the anime, manga readers are well aware of Kenjaku’s far-reaching influence throughout the series. The lengths to which he went to inhabit Yuji’s mother in order to craft the ideal vessel for Sukuna are astounding.
The most bizarre manifestation of the Brain Transplant technique occurred recently in the manga, with Yuta merging his consciousness into Gojo’s body, substantially complicating Sukuna’s existence yet again. This remarkable application of the Brain Transplant technique reinforces its status as one of the most impressive abilities in JJK by a significant margin.
16 Ten Shadows
Megumi Fushiguro
- Technique Debut: Episode 1 (Ryomen Sukuna)
Megumi is on track to be one of the most distinctive and captivating figures in Jujutsu Kaisen. His Ten Shadows technique may currently appear limited, but its potential is truly boundless. Though mastering this technique will take time, witnessing Megumi unleash the full capabilities of the Ten Shadows technique will undoubtedly be a thrilling experience.
If Megumi successfully refines his skill to perfection, the possibilities of what he can achieve are limitless. However, his tendency to be on the defensive in most encounters somewhat hampers the demonstration of his technique’s power. Thankfully, the Shibuya Incident highlighted this technique’s vast potential, showcasing how his most formidable summon could contend with an opponent as powerful as Sukuna.
15 Black Flash
Yuta Okkotsu, Kento Nanami, Satoru Gojo, Yuji Itadori, Nobara Kugisaki, Mahito, Aoi Todo, Sukuna
- Technique Debut: Episode 19 (Black Flash)
After forging a friendship with Aoi Todo, Yuji honed his taijutsu skills to master a potent Cursed Technique that can obliterate adversaries. Known as Black Flash, this technique is a thrilling spectacle during combat.
Him executing and refining this move against Hanami was a delight to behold, as successive Black Flashes left a significant impact on the Special Grade Curse, who found himself reeling from the relentless onslaught. With enough practice, Itadori can eliminate formidable foes with this technique perfectly suited to his physical prowess.
14 Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue
Satoru Gojo
- Technique Debut: Episode 20 (Nonstandard)
It’s no surprise that Gojo appears frequently on this list, as he is regarded as the most powerful Jujutsu Sorcerer for good reason. His Limitless ability affords him access to a variety of formidable moves that enhance both his speed and offensive capabilities.
Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue is one such remarkable ability, enabling Gojo to move at unparalleled speeds by manipulating negative distances. This technique can also annihilate any adversary it targets, showcasing its overwhelming potency.
13 Dismantle
Ryomen Sukuna
- Technique Debut: Episode 4 (Fearsome Womb)
Ryomen Sukuna is undeniably one of the series’ most intriguing characters. His background as a former Jujutsu Sorcerer adds depth to his already complex persona.

12 Cursed Technique Reversal: Red
Satoru Gojo
- Technique Debut: Episode 7 (Assault)
Reversed Cursed Techniques represent another category of Jujutsu abilities capable of causing extensive chaos when properly harnessed. This is exactly what Gojo accomplishes with his Reversed Limitless: Red technique.
The energy demands of this technique are massive but lead to spectacular devastation. The one-sided confrontation between Gojo and Jogo exemplifies the true power of this technique.
11 Idle Transfiguration
It will be done
- Technique Debut: Episode 8 (Boring)
Mahito is among the most captivating antagonists in Jujutsu Kaisen. His erratic personality contributes to his reputation as one of the most unpredictable foes in the series.
Mahito’s ability to manipulate living beings with just a touch poses a grave threat to any Jujutsu Sorcerer who faces him, as they risk transforming into grotesque monsters devoid of hope.
10 Star Rage
Yuki Tsukumo
- Technique Debut: Chapter 205 (Stars and Oil)
As a mentor to Todo, it’s only fitting that Yuki Tsukumo ranks among the strongest characters in the series. Her endearing personality captivates fans, and those who already admire her have yet to fully witness her true combat prowess.
Star Rage is one of the distinctive Cursed Techniques she employs in battle, enabling her to augment both her and her shikigami, Garuda, with added virtual mass. This not only enhances her attacks but also allows her own form to potentially transform into a black hole due to the sheer mass she can generate.
9 Cursed Speech
Toge Inumaki
- Technique Debut: Episode 8 (Boring)
Toge Inumaki stands out as one of the most intriguing characters in Jujutsu Kaisen. His limited vocabulary underscores the immense power of his Cursed Technique—perhaps even beyond his control.
His Cursed Speech allows him to command his foes through shouted orders fueled by his Cursed Energy. While this technique is incredibly powerful, it exacts a hefty toll on Toge’s body, leaving him unable to speak if he overuses it.
