Jujutsu Kaisen - home to not just brave sorcerers but also a pantheon of powerful cursed spirits!
These spirits, born from negative human emotions, drive the narrative with their strength and unique personas.
Today, we're ranking the top 10 strongest among them - from fiery volcanic spirits to terrifying soul manipulators. Let's dive into the terrifyingly thrilling universe these entities inhabit!
10. Finger Bearer
Finger Bearers are malevolent spirits that, upon consuming one of Sukuna's fingers, transform into more powerful and specialized grade curses.
During their mission to rescue survivors at the Eishu Juvenile Detention Center, Yuji and his cohorts came across one such cursed spirit. This particular curse exceeded their own strength by far, effortlessly slaying Megumi's White Divine Dog and severing Yuji's arm in a flash.
With Yuji's encouragement, Megumi and Nobara fled while he faced off against the Finger Bearer.
Yuji ultimately vanquished the curse and exorcized it, albeit at the cost of allowing Sukuna to assume control of his body for a period of time.
9. Eso
It should be noted that Eso is a Cursed Womb: Death Painting curse. He is stronger than his little brother Kechizu.
His appearance is more humanoid and he has unique taste in clothing. He even has a giant face on his back, although he does not want people to observe it.
During combat, Eso can execute the same corrosive blood technique as Kechizu, but his technique is even more potent. Furthermore, Eso can use blood to form a pair of wings, something that his brother cannot do. However, he was ultimately defeated by Yuji and Nobara.
8. Dagon
Dagon is a special grade cursed spirit who appears as a giant humanoid aquatic creature. His oceanic attributes make him a formidable opponent.
He seeks revenge against the jujutsu society for causing harm to cursed spirits. He's driven by the desire to see his kind prevail.
Moreover, Dagon showcased his power during the Shibuya Incident Arc. His Domain Expansion, Horizon of the Captivating Skanda, allowed him to create a sea within his domain and unleash a swarm of shikigami-like sea creatures, demonstrating his vast control over his domain.
7. Choso
A 150-year-old master of Blood Manipulation, utilized various techniques to seal Gojo in combat. He is highly skilled in hand-to-hand combat, with taijutsu attacks that enable him to fight against experienced martial artists like Yuji.
The Cursed Womb: Death Paintings consist of nine special grade cursed objects that result from a blend of cursed spirit and human blood.
As the oldest of these unique curses, Choso displays a cool and collected demeanor, but remains fiercely protective of his younger brothers. However, unlike other curses, he prefers not to engage in aggressive behavior.
6. Jogo
Jogo is a special grade cursed spirit who has a volcanic humanoid appearance, often seen with a fiery head. This hot-headed spirit embodies the wrath of humanity.
Jogo, in company with other special grade cursed spirits, aims to reshape the world by eradicating the human race. He believes this is the only way to bring equality and peace to the world of curses.
One of the most vivid showcases of Jogo's power was his battle with Satoru Gojo. Despite losing the fight, his ability to withstand Gojo's Limitless Cursed Technique and even landing a few hits demonstrated his immense strength and resilience.
5. Hanami
Hanami is another special grade cursed spirit, and his design pays homage to the forces of nature. With his wooden body and facial flower, he's hard to miss.
Like Jogo, Hanami also shares the vision of a world ruled by cursed spirits. However, his motivation is deeply tied to his affinity for nature, which he believes humans exploit and harm.
During the Kyoto Goodwill Event Arc, Hanami's combat prowess was on full display. The duel against Megumi Fushiguro, Maki Zenin, and Noritoshi Kamo ended with the cursed spirit virtually unscathed, revealing his immense power and ability to regenerate.
4. Mahoraga
This cursed spirit is one of Sukuna's shikigami and represents an apocalyptic fear. Its power is so great that it is said to bring catastrophe when summoned!
Being a shikigami, Mahoraga doesn't have its own motives. It simply follows the command of its summoner, which, in its only known instance, was Sukuna.
When Sukuna summoned Mahoraga during the Shibuya Incident Arc, its enormous power was evident. It was able to withstand Sukuna's attacks and even adapt to his techniques, showing an unprecedented level of power and adaptability.
3. Rika Orimoto
Rika Orimoto is a special grade vengeful cursed spirit, tied to Yuta Okkotsu's heart. The curse stems from Yuta's immense love and guilt towards his deceased childhood friend Rika.
As a curse, Rika exists only to protect and obey Yuta. Her actions are primarily directed by his feelings and wishes.
The climactic battle between Yuta and Ghetto revealed the full extent of Rika's power. As Yuta's curse, she effortlessly cut through Ghetto's curses and even managed to wound the powerful jujutsu sorcerer, which speaks volumes about her strength.
2. Mahito
Mahito is a special grade cursed spirit representing the fear of humans towards each other. His ability to manipulate souls gives him a terrifying and unique set of skills.
He seeks to overthrow the human-centric world and establish one where cursed spirits can thrive freely. His disdain for humanity often translates into cruel, sadistic actions.
Mahito's fight against Nanami and Yuji showed the full range of his soul manipulation abilities. By continuously morphing his body, he managed to stay ahead in the fight, demonstrating his adaptability and power.
1. Sukuna
Sukuna, also known as the King of Curses, is a legendary curse that was once a human. His high-level intelligence and tremendous cursed energy make him a unique antagonist.
Despite being a cursed spirit, Sukuna's motives are quite complex. He's not particularly interested in the fight between humans and cursed spirits, and seems to have his own mysterious agenda.
When Sukuna took over Yuji's body during the fight with Mahito, he demonstrated his overwhelming strength by effortlessly defeating the special grade curse, a moment that highlighted his ruthlessness and power.
