Jujutsu Kaisen is an incredibly dark, intense anime & manga series filled with powerful Jujutsu Sorcerers and Curses. However, only a few of them can truly be considered the strongest. Here are the 10 strongest characters in Jujutsu Kaisen, ranked.
Higuruma is a character introduced in the Culling Games Arc of the Jujutsu Kaisen manga and has yet to appear in the anime. Despite his late entrance into the story, Higuruma quickly established himself as one of the strongest new characters in the series, along with the most innate potential. Besides his tremendous amount of cursed energy, Higuruma has a Shikigami called Judgeman.
With this Shikigami, Higuruma can also create a domain expansion called Deadly Sentencing, allowing him to prosecute the opponent for any crime they may have committed. Depending on the outcome of this “trial,” Judgeman can possibly sentence the opponent to death, giving Higuruma an “executioner’s sword” that kills anyone in one hit. Moreover, no violence is allowed in the domain until a sentence is given.
Jogo is one of the first disaster curses introduced to the series, making him an incredibly dangerous and powerful character in Jujutsu Kaisen. Unlike most curses, he is reincarnated with characteristics and thought processes similar to humans. As a special grade cursed spirit, Jogo boasts incredible strength that surpasses his fellow cursed spirits and several high-ranking Jujutsu Sorcerers.
His power is showcased during the Shibuya Incident, where he uses his speed, reflexes, and volcano-based cursed technique to dispatch several Grade 1 Sorcerers. Even Sukuna, the king of curses, admired Jogo's strength, admitting that his maximum technique would have hurt him if it hit. Jogo is indeed a menacing cursed spirit worthy of a spot on this list.
Maki Zenin is one of the most well-developed characters in the series, introduced in the original Jujutsu Kaisen 0 manga. Initially considered weak due to her lack of cursed energy, Maki becomes one of the strongest after the death of her twin sister Mai. This tragic event leads her to gain heavenly restriction, making her body indestructible and granting her incredible feats of strength.
Maki's strength is put to the test when she avenges her sister's death by massacring the entire Zenin clan, defeating countless Jujutsu Sorcerers. Despite lacking a cursed technique, her pure physical prowess, especially her ability to stand against Ryomen Sukuna in recent chapters, solidifies her spot on this list.
Takaba is a unique character whose cursed technique was activated during the culling games. Originally a failed comedian, his cursed technique, aptly named "comedy," allows him to manifest whatever he finds humorous. This ability is incredibly powerful, comparable to Satoru Gojo’s techniques, but Takaba's lack of understanding of his power places him lower on the list.
Despite his inexperience, Takaba has never lost a battle in the manga. His comedic approach enables him to break the rules of reality, negating attacks for visual gags. His involvement in defeating Kenjaku highlights his strength, even if he remains oblivious to the full extent of his abilities.
Yuki Tsukumo is one of the four Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerers, making her an exceptionally strong character in Jujutsu Kaisen. Although she has had limited appearances in the anime, her status as a Special Grade signifies her immense power. Her innate cursed technique, Star Rage, combined with her Shikigami Garuda, allows her to add virtual mass to herself and her companion.
This unique ability enables Yuki to deal devastating damage to her enemies. Furthermore, she possesses extensive knowledge of cursed energy and the soul, which is crucial for most Jujutsu Sorcerer abilities. Her brief yet impactful moments in the manga demonstrate her capabilities, notably almost defeating Kenjaku.
Kenjaku is one of the main antagonists in Jujutsu Kaisen. This body-hopping curse user can utilize and carry on the cursed techniques of the bodies he inhabits. Currently, Kenjaku's body is that of Special Grade Sorcerer Suguru Geto, who had the ability to absorb cursed spirits for use in battle.
Having an arsenal of cursed spirits at his disposal, along with techniques like gravity manipulation, Kenjaku orchestrates several major events in the series. His intellect and strategic planning, including the sealing of Satoru Gojo, showcase his status as one of the most formidable characters in the series.
