Ranking the Top 8 Beloved Jujutsu Kaisen Characters Still Standing Strong after Shibuya

Following a devastating encounter in Shibuya, a few Jujutsu Kaisen characters managed to survive amidst death, destruction, and chaos. Sorcerers like Kento Nanami and Nobara Kugisaki suffered significant losses. Pseudo-Geto successfully sealed Gojo Satoru, dealing a major blow to the sorcerers.

The King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna, was later released and caused widespread havoc in the city, ultimately exorcising the Divine General Mahoraga.

8 most loved Jujutsu Kaisen characters who survived Shibuya, ranked

8) Mei Mei

Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer Mei Mei ranks low on this list. Although she initially helped by defeating the Smallpox Deity and following the plan, she ultimately fled the scene with Ui Ui after Gojo's sealing. Additionally, she was observed speaking to an unknown entity in Malaysia on the phone. Despite being a beloved character in Jujutsu Kaisen, she abandoned the team when they needed her most due to her own selfish desires.

7) Gojo Satoru

Despite being sealed, Gojo Satoru managed to survive the events in Shibuya. He had been a formidable threat to the villains, constantly outmaneuvering them and showcasing his immense power. However, his emotions got the best of him when faced with his best friend, Suguru Geto (Kenjaku), leading to his eventual capture and sealing in the Prison Realm as intended.

6) Kasumi Miwa

Mechamaru had prepared contingency plans, especially for Kasumi Miwa, to prevent her from being in Shibuya. He understood the risks of her being there due to their romantic involvement, and successfully kept her occupied until the very end.

Although Miwa is not lacking in strength, she is not yet on the same level as the other sorcerers. However, she played a crucial role in the ultimate battle against Kenjaku. While she may not have inflicted significant damage, her attacks provided the others with valuable time to recover and respond swiftly.

5) Maki Zenin

In Jujutsu Kaisen season 2, Maki Zenin joined sorcerers Megumi Fushiguro, Naobito Zenin, and Kento Nanami in the fight against Dagon. Despite their repeated attacks, the Curse remained undamaged until a summoned sorcerer arrived and changed the course of the battle.

Following the battle, Dagon's domain dissipated and they returned to Shibuya. However, their enemy Jogo was waiting for them and ended up burning Maki in a bid to eliminate the survivors and seek vengeance for Dagon.

4) Choso

At first, Choso sided with the Curses and Pseudo-Geto, seeking revenge against Yuji Itadori for the deaths of his brothers Eso and Kechizu. When the two finally faced off, Choso was on the verge of delivering a fatal blow when he had a revelation. As a Cursed Womb, he was able to sense others like him, including Yuji. He had a vision that led him to believe they were all siblings, and from that moment on, he switched sides and dedicated himself to protecting his newfound brother until the end.

3) Panda

Panda didn't join the action until the later stages of the Shibuya Incident. Teamed up with the careful and somewhat shy Atsuya Kusakabe, they spent most of their time patrolling instead of assisting after Gojo was sealed. Kusakabe convinced him to stay out of the battle until other Curse Users and ultimately Sukuna got involved. Later on, he joined the fight in the final moments as all the remaining survivors gathered to confront Kenjaku and Uraume. They were unable to retrieve the Prison Realm, but they put up a strong fight.

2) Megumi Fushiguro

Megumi Fushiguro had a terrifying experience in Shibuya. After barely surviving encounters with Jiro Awasaka and the unexpectedly powerful Dagon, he had to face off against his own father, Toji Fushiguro, before summoning Mahoraga. Despite being on the brink of defeat after the Dagon battle, Megumi summoned Mahoraga as a last-ditch effort against Haruta. However, his plans were thwarted when Sukuna intervened, defeated Mahoraga, and ended the ritual.

1) Yuji Itadori

Yuji Itadori, the protagonist, endured a challenging experience during the Shibuya Incident, undergoing significant character growth and a tumultuous emotional journey. The losses of Nanami and Nobara deeply affected him, almost causing him to give up the fight. Nonetheless, with the help of Todo, he found the strength to get back up and complete his mission, ultimately seeking revenge on Mahito before Kenjaku's interruption. In the end, the Shibuya Incident served to strengthen and mold Yuji for the next stage of his journey.

Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z netizen, I am deeply invested in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen and its captivating characters. The Shibuya Incident arc was a turning point in the series, and I was thrilled to see which characters would emerge victorious. While some fan favorites like Nanami and Nobara met tragic fates, others like Gojo Satoru and Maki Zenin managed to survive against all odds.

I particularly admire the character development of Choso, who initially sought revenge against Yuji but ultimately found redemption and a sense of belonging among his newfound siblings. The complex relationships and moral dilemmas explored in Jujutsu Kaisen resonate deeply with me and my generation, as we navigate our own journeys of self-discovery and purpose.
