Ranking the Top 20 Most Powerful Characters in Jujutsu Kaisen

2Jujutsu Kaisen boasts a plethora of formidable characters, ranging from the notorious King of Curses, Sukuna, to the mighty Satoru Gojo. Strength within the series revolves around one's proficiency in wielding jujutsu energy and cursed energy, although outliers like Toji Fushiguro transcend the bounds of cursed energy.

Throughout its tenure, the series has presented numerous demonstrations of strength, encompassing mental fortitude, endurance, and even the ability to bypass multiple barriers to strike an opponent directly. While the grading system exists to gauge the level of threat someone poses, it occasionally surprises individuals when their rankings do not align with their actual skills and abilities, as seen with Maki Zenin.

Jujutsu Kaisen brims with powerful characters, among them Maki and Sukuna. However, it is important to note that this article contains spoilers for the manga as the series is still ongoing. Additionally, the views expressed herein solely belong to the author.

20 of the strongest Jujutsu Kaisen characters, from Aoi Todo to Sukuna, ranked

20) Mai Zenin

Our Website features an image of Mai Zenin in Jujutsu Kaisen.

Despite possessing a greater amount of jujutsu energy compared to her sister Maki, Mai Zenin was unable to fully harness her potential due to her lack of talent and desire to become a sorcerer. She was forced into a role that she did not belong in, as Maki had left their clan.

Despite lacking a natural talent for jujutsu, she compensates by showcasing exceptional skills in using ranged weaponry and possessing a keen eye for marksmanship. These abilities proved invaluable during both the Kyoto Goodwill event, where she incapacitated Nobara, and the Shibuya Incident, where her precise shots forced Kenjaku to exert considerable effort in defending against them.

19) Kasumi Miwa

Despite referring to herself as useless, Kasumi Miwa's claim is actually false. While she may lack an inherent technique, her determination and strong work ethic compensate for it.

It is important to note that whenever she engages in combat, she effortlessly slices through curses, as showcased in Jujutsu Kaisen 0. However, she also faces adversaries who possess the potential to easily overpower and defeat her, as demonstrated in the Kyoto Goodwill arc.

Miwa's unfortunate situation was further compounded when she was deceived into battling Maki, which can be deemed exceptionally heartless. Despite Miwa's utmost effort, Maki emerged victorious, and Toge Inumaki's voice manipulation skill rendered her unconscious for the majority of that period. Furthermore, during the concluding events of the Shibuya Incident arc, her sword shattered while attempting to strike Kenjaku.

Considering that Miwa has not been witnessed engaging in any subsequent combat scenarios since her ordeal, it becomes arduous to assess her capabilities beyond her current standing.

18) Nobara Kugisaki

Since the Shibuya Incident arc, one of the key members of the series' main trio, Nobara Kugisaki, has been conspicuously absent. Among herself, Yuji, and Megumi, Nobara is widely regarded as the most audacious.

She has demonstrated numerous occasions where she fearlessly entered combat wielding her trademark hammer and nails, consistently achieving victory.

She and Yuji successfully defeated the special-grade cursed womb paintings Eso and Kechizu, with Nobara showcasing her skills by employing Resonance to weaken the curses before delivering a devastating blow with the Black Flash. Despite enduring Shiegmo's attacks, she managed to inflict a fatal injury on Mahito. Regrettably, due to her incapacitation, she is ineligible for a higher rating.

17) Kento Nanami

Kento Nanami, a Grade 1 jujutsu sorcerer, possesses exceptional skill and power. However, he despises working overtime, which is why he opted to become a salaryman instead of pursuing a full-time career as a jujutsu sorcerer.

Since then, Kento has been constantly on call and has occasionally received multiple requests for assistance. As Yuji's mentor, he sets a high standard as a Grade 1 jujutsu sorcerer.

He effortlessly faced formidable curses like Dagon and Mahito, enduring a soul-shaking attack without any significant repercussions. He defeated Shigemo and compelled Miracle to exert extra effort in maintaining Shigemo's life.

Moreover, he managed to match Dagon's pace and annihilate the deadly fish curses within the domain.

Even after suffering Jogo's flames during Jujutsu Kaisen's Shibuya Incident, he was able to kill a swarm of transfigured humans before Mahito killed him.

16) Mei Mei

Meet Mei Mei, a Grade 1 sorcerer who has an unwavering fascination with the significance of life, backed up by her immense strength. During her earlier years, Mei Mei's involvement in a mission that exceeded its duration was considered a troublesome situation.

Mei Mei initially thought she had a weak natural ability, but she compensated by diligently training her physical skills.

As a result, she became an incredibly formidable opponent for anyone who dared to challenge her. Not only did she effortlessly defeat Niiji Ebina, a semi-grade 1 curse user, but she also managed to evade and ultimately destroy The Smallpox Deity with the help of Ui Ui. Only Gojo has managed to survive her bird strike technique.

She's acknowledged as crafty and strong by both Kenjaku and Gojo.

15) Mahito

Mahito possesses a formidable power, capable of assaulting individuals' souls. Throughout the Shibuya Incident, he effortlessly transformed over 1,000 humans, exterminated Mechamaru with unyielding force, eliminated an already wounded Nanami, shattered the side of Nobara's skull, and withstood the relentless onslaught of Yuji and Todo. Although eventually consumed by Kenjaku, Mahito unleashed significant havoc beforehand.

14) Choso

The Death Womb series concluded with Choso, a blood mage who aligned with the jujutsu sorcerers during the Shibuya Incident, showcasing his tactical skills. Choso successfully rendered Yuji powerless and even came close to fatally injuring him. Towards the climax of the arc, Choso reappears to confront Kenjaku but is ultimately paralyzed by Uraume.

In the subsequent battles, Choso consistently demonstrated his value. Despite being frozen, his Piercing Blood technique successfully pierced Uraume, poisoning them. Choso managed to triumph over Naoya Zenin and compelled Kenjaku to divert his attention towards fighting him rather than swiftly eliminating him.

Notably, Choso emerged from the clash with Kenjaku unscathed, whereas Yuki was forced into a fatal final confrontation.

13) Aoi Todo

When it comes to sheer physical strength, Aoi Todo stands unrivaled among the jujutsu sorcerers. He showcased his prowess during the Kyoto Goodwill Event by not only overpowering Yuji but also holding his ground against Hanami and providing assistance to Yuji during the Shibuya Incident against Mahito.

In Jujutsu Kaisen 0, Aoi holds a remarkable record for defeating curses without even relying on his innate technique, and he continued to prove himself thereafter. Unfortunately, he hasn't been mentioned since the Shibuya Incident, as his technique necessitates clapping with both hands, and he lost one of his hands during that battle.

He's still in that range of Grade 1 despite having not been seen since.

12) Megumi Fushiguro

Amidst the primary characters in Jujutsu Kaisen, Megumi stands out with his array of remarkable abilities. In addition to his formidable shikigami, Mahoraga, Megumi adeptly employs the Ten Shadows technique to bolster his initially modest close combat prowess.

As Jujutsu Kaisen progresses, Megumi's intellect and strength noticeably improve. He successfully cuts into Dagon's Domain to rescue everyone, a feat that Maki, Nanami, and Naobito struggled to accomplish. Megumi manages to confront Sukuna on multiple occasions and provides valuable assistance to Yuji in defeating Jiro Awasaka. He also engages in a fierce battle with his resurrected father, holding his ground.

By the time of the Culling Game arc, he was able to defeat an entire group of powerful jujutsu sorcerers practically by himself.

11) Yuji Itadori

Prior to becoming a jujutsu sorcerer, Yuji Itadori possessed exceptional athleticism and strength. He displayed the ability to contain Sukuna, exhibit remarkable speed, and inflict harm upon curses as a mere mortal. Throughout the course of Jujutsu Kaisen, Yuji has continuously honed his skills and fortified his physical prowess.

Yuji possesses inherent strength that cannot be solely credited to Kenjaku or Sukuna. His ability to execute Black Flashes has proven effective against Mahito, even in his most powerful state, resulting in the defeat of Hanami and the demise of Eso. Moreover, during the Culling Game, Yuji became one of the few to withstand Sukuna's devastating blow and survive Malevolent Shrine.

10) Jogo

His readiness to confront Sukuna alongside Higuruma has been apparent since Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 238. Throughout the series, he has made significant progress, with his sole weakness being the absence of a robust defense against Domain Expansions.

Dubbed as the "Mount Fuji head" curse by Yuji, Jogo showcases an immense level of power. His mastery over fire and lava is so overwhelming that it not only affects his surroundings when he is in a fury but also leads to the spontaneous combustion of non-sorcerers.

Kenjaku regarded Jogo's strength to be equivalent to that of 8 or 9 of Sukuna's fingers.

Jogo's domain expansion is an absolute threat even to highly skilled sorcerers. Despite being defeated by Gojo during his unsuccessful surprise attack, Jogo showcased his immense power by swiftly defeating Nanami, Maki, and Naobito Zenin in a matter of moments. This happened immediately after they had faced considerable difficulty against Dagon and Toji.

Sukuna even praised Jogo's strength, before killing him with a fire arrow in a clash that devastated Shibuya.

9) Suguru Geto

Suguru Geto, a prominent figure among the four special-grade jujutsu sorcerers, was once a promising jujutsu sorcerer following the same path as Gojo. However, he succumbed to the forces of darkness, betraying the jujutsu society.

In his arsenal of skills, he possessed the ability to amass a multitude of accursed spirits, alongside a remarkable proficiency in close combat that allowed him to overpower Panda. Furthermore, he displayed the prowess to engage in a simultaneous duel against Yuta and Rika, thanks to his utilization of the formidable Playful Cloud cursed tool.

During his peak, he was hailed as one of the most formidable individuals, owing to his adept manipulation of numerous curses simultaneously and his possession of an immense reservoir of curse energy. Additionally, he wielded the capacity to unleash devastatingly potent attacks such as Uzumaki, which harnessed the power of over 4,000 curses.

That last one was a last-ditch effort against Yuta that ultimately failed.

8) Toji Fushiguro

Despite having a hole punched through him after Gojo activated Hollow: Purple during the Hidden Inventory arc of Jujutsu Kaisen, Toji Fushiguro proves to be an unwavering force when he is focused.

Toji's brief appearance showcased his intelligence as he strategically allowed lesser opponents to weaken Gojo through curses and sorcery before engaging him in combat. He was capable of overpowering Geto.

It is important to note that this took place when both Gojo and Geto were already tired. A more compelling testament to Toji's abilities can be seen in his revival during the Shibuya Incident. In this event, he effortlessly defeated Ino, as well as effortlessly killed Ogami and Dagon without exerting much effort.

He was considered an anomaly of a sort, much how Maki is currently.

7) Maki Zenin

Maki Zenin serves as a prime example of how systemic bias and oppression can hinder individuals. Despite being born with a significant lack of cursed energy and facing prejudice from her own Zenin Clan, Maki defied all expectations and emerged as a formidable jujutsu sorcerer, ultimately landing in the Grade 4 category. Her unwavering determination remained undeterred, both in Jujutsu Kaisen 0 and throughout the main series.

Surviving Jogo's devastating attack, despite the loss of Naobito Zenin and Nanami's demise, showcased an extraordinary ability. Additionally, the impressive accomplishment of annihilating the entire Zenin clan after the Shibuya Incident solidified her status as an equal or even a potential successor to Toji. Demonstrating her prowess further, she effortlessly dispatched a cursed Naoya and matched the relentless aggression of Megumi possessed by Sukuna during the Culling Game.

6) Kinji Hakari

Kinji Hakari, the second student acknowledged for their exceptional strength by Satoru Gojo, gained notoriety at Jujutsu High due to his troublesome attitude. Following his subsequent suspension, he initiated a Jujutsu fight club. Despite being rebellious and resistant to authority, he possesses remarkable proficiency in jujutsu sorcery and has developed his unique repertoire of techniques.

In the Culling Game arc of jujutsu kaisen, Kinji emerged victorious against Kashimo, renowned as one of the top jujutsu sorcerers in the game. Kinji's hand-to-hand skills surpass those of Yuji and he would have easily outmatched Charles in terms of physical strength alone. Additionally, Kinji possesses the unique ability of extreme luck, which acts as an X factor, rendering him nearly unbeatable if he obtains a Jackpot.

The only factor that prevents Kinji from surpassing Yuta is the time constraint and Yuta's wider range of techniques.

5) Yuta Okkotsu

Yuta, the protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen 0, stands out among the few exceptional jujutsu sorcerers. Despite starting off similar to Yuji in a disadvantaged position, lacking knowledge of jujutsu or sorcery and without a background in athletics, Yuta's achievements have placed him prominently on this list.

Notably, Yuta is recognized as the second-greatest sorcerer in modern times, following Gojo. His possession of one of the largest reserves of Cursed Energy ever recorded, expertise in the Reverse Curse technique, ability to unconditionally mimic other innate techniques, and the formidable special grade cursed spirit named Rika, who serves as his guardian entity, contribute to his exceptional abilities.

This makes him arguably one of the strongest in the jujutsu sorcerer's side, surpassed only by Yuki and Gojo.

4) Yuki Tsukumo

Yuki Tsukumo, featured in Jujutsu Kaisen (Image via Our Website), truly surpasses the title of the strongest woman alive. As a special-grade jujutsu sorcerer in the series, she possesses an immense amount of cursed energy and a plethora of concealed talents. Not only did she train Aoi Todo, but she also stands superior to Yuji, Nanami, the young Gojo, and Geto.

Her lack of presence in the top three rankings is solely attributed to her limited number of appearances throughout the series. In the entirety of the storyline, she only makes four notable appearances, first in the Hidden Inventory arc and later in the narrative spanning from the conclusion of the Shibuya Incident to the Culling Game arc, where she serves as one of Tengen's bodyguards.

Although she mesmerized fans with her awe-inspiring combat against Kenjaku, showcasing her ability to manipulate black holes, her untimely demise after such a brief presence left numerous fans outraged.

3) Kenjaku

Including one of Jujutsu Kaisen's primary antagonists in the top five would be a fitting choice. Kenjaku, a mysterious character, possesses formidable sorcery abilities but primarily functions as a parasite. His powers stem from assimilating numerous individuals, including Noritoshi Kamo and Suguru Geto.

By Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 239, he has achieved numerous accomplishments. These include taking over Suguru Geto's body, imprisoning Gojo, defeating Choso multiple times, battling Yuki, and forcing her to exhaust all her energy in a desperate attempt to eliminate him. Although currently not the central concern, Kenjaku will inevitably need to be addressed in due course.

2) Satoru Gojo

Satoru Gojo stands out as one of the most prominent figures among Jujutsu Kaisen's heroes and jujutsu sorcerers. Despite his untimely demise, he earns a respectable second place on this esteemed list. Gojo possesses the exceptional abilities of the Six Eyes and Limitless technique, making him a formidable threat to curse users and cursed spirits alike.

The most powerful sorcerer in existence has ample evidence to support his claim. He has successfully vanquished formidable adversaries and even conquered special-grade curses such as Hanami and Toji. As a child, he instilled such fear in the Ogami family that they fled like frightened rodents. Additionally, it required months of strategic planning to seal him away.

Despite eventually falling to Sukuna's hands, it demanded an immense amount of mental focus and the utilization of unconventional methods, including slicing the very fabric of reality and manipulating Mahoraga to adapt to every situation, to accomplish the feat.

Even with all that, Sukuna nearly died several times over and respected Gojo for that.

1) Sukuna

Undoubtedly, the act of placing Sukuna above Gojo may come across as unfair. Numerous fans share the sentiment that Sukuna's triumph over Gojo was similarly perceived as unfair, mainly due to the utilization of unprecedented techniques up until that moment.

Sukuna emerged as the undeniable powerhouse of Jujutsu Kaisen, having triumphed over both Gojo and Kashimo.

Even while confined within Yuji's body, Sukuna posed a significant threat prior to his fusion with Megumi. With minimal exertion, he effortlessly eliminated special-grade curses, dispatched formidable adversaries like Jogo, and even his mere presence overwhelmed Mahito to the point of mental disarray. Additionally, Sukuna effortlessly decimated two city blocks filled with individuals, all of which he considered to be of little consequence.

Controlling Megumi has only exacerbated his destructive tendencies, amplifying the extent of death and chaos he has caused since the Shibuya Incident.

And with that, we conclude the compilation of the top 20 most powerful characters in Jujutsu Kaisen, arranged in accordance with their prowess. However, before we wrap this up, it is crucial to provide some remarks on the series as a whole.

The series demonstrates that even the character considered to be the strongest can perish if they are outsmarted by the villain or hero. This is a recurring theme in new shonen anime such as Demon Slayer and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

Simply put, being titled as "the strongest alive" does not grant invincibility. It would be wise for Jujutsu Kaisen theorists and fans to keep this in mind, as numerous characters have survived encounters with Sukuna and other formidable individuals. Furthermore, the absence of Gojo does not signify the end of hope.
