Hiromi, Naoya, Megumi, Jogo, Hakari, Mahito, Kenjaku, Sukuna, and Gojo are among the characters who possess exceptionally strong Domain Expansions in the series.
Warning! Spoilers ahead for the Jujutsu Kaisen Manga! In the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, there exists a set of incredibly powerful techniques known as Domain Expansions. These abilities are rare and only a select few sorcerers and curses have the capability to utilize them. This makes evaluating the strength of these Domain Expansions a reliable way to gauge the power of the sorcerers themselves.
Domain Expansions involve extending the user's cursed technique throughout a space enclosed by a barrier. By imbuing the area within the barrier with their innate domain, the wielder of the Domain Expansion gains the ability to employ their technique within that region. This often results in attacks that are virtually guaranteed to hit their targets. Additionally, some Domain Expansions offer their users other unique advantages. Listed below are all the Domain Expansions showcased thus far in the Jujutsu Kaisen anime and manga, ranked from least to most potent.
13 Yuki's Domain Expansion
12 Dagon's Horizon Of The Captivating Skandha
: Yuki Tsukumo's Domain Expansion in Jujutsu Kaisen deserves recognition for its menacing potential. Despite never being showcased in the series, it instilled wariness in Kenjaku. Yuki's ability to manipulate Mass enabled her to deliver devastating strikes and even generate a black hole. Like esteemed sorcerers Gojo and Geto, she earned the esteemed title of a special-grade sorcerer. Her domain expansion likely possessed comparable might, potentially granting her the ability to launch an unstoppable assault on her foes, leveraging the incredible force of a black hole. While the true extent of Yuki's Domain Expansion remains unknown to fans, it remains a noteworthy addition to the discussion of Jujutsu Kaisen's most formidable Domain Expansions.
During the first season of Jujutsu Kaisen, Dagon had limited screen time. This unregistered special-grade cursed spirit, under the control of Mahito, resembled an octopus. Hidden beneath the white cloth that he typically envelops himself in, Dagon possesses strong muscular arms and a body resembling a caterpillar. His exceptional ability, known as the Horizon of the Captivating Skandha, is his domain expansion. Originally utilized by his allies Mahito, Jogo, and Hanami as a sanctuary for repose, his domain expansion transforms into a serene beach with tranquil waters, evoking a sense of relaxation.
11 Yorozu's Threefold Affliction
After transforming into a Cursed Spirit, Dagon employed his domain as a weapon against the Jujutsu sorcerers Maki Zenin, Kento Nanami, and Naobito Zenin. Despite possessing a tranquil domain, Dagon wielded shikigamis within the Horizon of the Captivating Skandha that had the ability to strike his adversaries automatically. Although Dagon's Horizon is ranked lower compared to the most powerful Domain Expansions in Jujutsu Kaisen, it remains a formidable force not to be underestimated.
Yorozu, a formidable curse user, tragically met her demise at the hands of Sukuna, leaving little time to showcase her incredible abilities. Nonetheless, in the brief period she graced the pages, Yorozu effectively demonstrated her cursed technique. Her exceptional skill set revolved around the manipulation of insects to construct formidable armor and weaponry. This expertise culminated in her Domain Expansion, Threefold Affliction, a realm that ensured her constructed attacks would invariably strike her adversaries once they entered its confines. Despite Yorozu's untimely demise, she bestowed a parting gift upon Sukuna, hinting at the possibility of her technique and Domain Expansion resurfacing in future installments of the series.
10 Hiromi Higuruma's Deadly Sentencing
Hiromi Higuruma, a defense attorney, made the daring choice to join the perilous Culling Game and rise to become one of its top participants. Before venturing into the world of jujutsu sorcery, Hiromi had a reputable career as a noble lawyer, dedicated to aiding the wrongly accused regardless of the seemingly insurmountable challenges. Despite possessing a natural talent for Jujutsu sorcery, Hiromi's domain expansion did not emerge from arduous training. Instead, it manifested when his cursed technique was activated by Kenjaku.
Known as Deadly Sentencing, Hiromi's domain takes the form of a courtroom, where individuals ensnared within its confines must prove their innocence to the judge. The truly dreadful aspect of Hiromi's Domain Expansion lies in the uncertainty of the punishments his adversaries will face, whether it be death or the eradication of their cursed technique. Hiromi serves as a testament that no Domain Expansion should ever be underestimated in the world of Jujustu Kaisen.
9 Naoya Zenin’s Time Cell Moon Palace
8 Smallpox Deity's Graveyard Domain
Naoya returned as a vengeful cursed spirit after Maki's massacre of the Zenin clan in the Culling game. His transformed state endowed him with significantly enhanced abilities, surpassing even Maki's speed. Additionally, he acquired a formidable new domain expansion known as Time Cell Moon Palace, compelling all within its confines to move at a rate of 24 frames per second, under the penalty of savage attacks. While Maki managed to overcome this technique due to her heavenly restriction, it remains one of the most formidable Domain Expansions in Jujutsu Kaisen.
Summoned by Kenjaku, the Smallpox Deity is a cursed spirit that instills terror in the hearts of Jujutsu sorcerer Mei Mei and her brother Ui Ui. Its frightful countenance is characterized by imposing tusks protruding from its mouth and two robust arms covered in pox bumps. Truly formidable, Kenjaku harnesses the Smallpox Deity to assess Mei Mei's abilities and ascertain her worthiness to confront him.
The Graveyard Domain of the Small Pox Deity's Domain Expansion not only ensnares adversaries, but also guarantees an automatic strike for the user. Combining this potent Domain Expansion with the Deity's Gravestone Technique can prove fatal even for the most formidable Jujutsu sorcerers. Once trapped within the Domain and caught in the clutches of the Gravestone technique, the victim falls prey to the Smallpox Deity's powers, succumbing to the deadly smallpox infection that leads to their demise.
7 Megumi Fushiguro’s Chimera Shadow Garden
Despite being just a 2nd-grade sorcerer, Megumi's ability to create his own Domain Expansion is truly remarkable. Although his Chimera Shadow Garden is still a work in progress with some flaws, it has the potential to easily exorcise a special grade curse with the right mindset. Moreover, Megumi is a member of the esteemed Zenin clan, one of the three major sorcerer families in Jujutsu Kaisen. He possesses the exclusive Ten Shadows Technique, which can only be inherited and allows him to summon ten different shikigami. Additionally, Megumi possesses the unique ability to store sacred weapons within his shadows, proving to be invaluable in his battles.
Megumi's potential surpasses that of any other character besides Yuji Itadori in Jujutsu Kaisen. In the "Cursed Womb" arcs, both Sukuna, the most powerful cursed spirit, and Gojo, the strongest jujutsu sorcerer, acknowledge his natural abilities. As a result, Megumi's Domain Expansion holds immense potential within the series.
6 Jogo’s Coffin of the Iron Curtain
Jogo’s Domain Expansion is an incredibly potent technique that summons a massive volcano, instantly obliterating any average target. However, despite Jogo being a special-grade cursed spirit, his Domain expansion proves ineffective against Yuji and Gojo, quickly rendering him outmatched. Jogo's eagerness and impatience to engage Gojo ultimately leads to his defeat. Nonetheless, Jogo stands as the sole cursed spirit thus far to have directly confronted Gojo and emerged alive. Furthermore, Jogo showcases impressive intelligence among his cursed spirit counterparts.
5 Hakari’s Idle Death Gamble
4 Mahito’s Self-Embodiment of Perfection
Hakari's Idle Death Gamble, considered one of the most perplexing Domain Expansions in Jujutsu Kaisen, also happens to be one of the most formidable. Presenting itself as a colossal Pachinko machine, the Idle Death Gamble awards Hakari various bonuses and attacks based on the outcome of his spins. Achieving a jackpot with this technique grants Hakari a brief period wherein he possesses nearly boundless Cursed Energy, rendering him virtually invulnerable. Once this timeframe concludes, he can then engage Idle Death Gamble anew, initiating the entire process once more. The ability to perpetually reenact this technique is what solidifies Idle Death Gamble as one of the most potent Domain Expansions in the realm of Jujutsu Kaisen.
During the intense battle between Mahito, Yuji, and Nanami, viewers had the opportunity to witness Mahito's remarkable growth. This culminated in the unveiling of his incredible Domain Expansion. What makes Mahito particularly dangerous is that he can manipulate the souls of his targets through mere physical contact. Despite being a relatively new and less developed cursed spirit, Mahito stands among the top-ranking Domain Expansions in Jujutsu Kaisen. While he may be younger and less experienced than Jogo, Mahito is an unregistered Special Grade cursed spirit, estimated to possess the power of at least three of Sukuna's fingers.
3 Kenjaku’s Womb Profusion
Mahito's innate ability to deliver a knockout blow even before utilizing his Domain Expansion grants him immense power. Fans are eagerly anticipating a dedicated episode showcasing Mahito's impressive strength, compelling backstory, and unmatched abilities. It is evident that had it not been for Yuji's timely intervention, Mahito's Domain Expansion would have effortlessly claimed the life of a Grade 1 sorcerer like Nanami.Kenjaku's Domain Expansion, Womb Profusion, is yet to unleash its full power. However, the glimpses we have seen are enough to establish it as one of the most terrifying Domain Expansions in Jujutsu Kaisen. Similar to Sukuna's Malevolent Shrine, Womb Profusion does not rely on a barrier, delivering devastating blows to its targets with the same intensity as Kenjaku's formidable curse, Uzumaki. Although its appearance has been brief thus far, it is highly likely that Womb Profusion will be showcased further as the series delves deeper into its ultimate battle.
2 Sukuna’s Malevolent Shrine
Sukuna, the supreme ruler of curses, reigns uncontested in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen. The strength of other cursed spirits is measured solely by the number of Sukuna's fingers, a testament to his overwhelming power. Among them, Mahito stands out as one of the bravest characters in the series for his audacious attempt to touch Yuji and inadvertently Sukuna himself. Mahito possesses superior abilities and holds dominion over all other curses, as well as most sorcerers.
Originally a human sorcerer of such immense power that he was mistaken for a demon, Sukuna posed a formidable challenge to his contemporaries. Despite their combined strength, they only managed to seal him away, leading Sukuna to be reborn as a cursed spirit with an indestructible body. Throughout the first season of Jujutsu Kaisen, Mahito and Jogo scheme to gain Sukuna's favor and retrieve his fingers. In the midst of the first battle within a cursed womb, Sukuna unleashes his Domain Expansion, swiftly annihilating the special grade cursed spirit that had overwhelmed Yuji and Megumi.
1 Satoru Gojo's Unlimited Void
Gojo is not just captivating with his charm and appearance; he is also incredibly formidable. Right from his introduction in the series, he is labeled as "the strongest" and confidently claims that defeating a fully revived Sukuna would only be slightly tiring. In the first season of Jujutsu Kaisen, every intelligent cursed spirit is warned to steer clear of Gojo, and there are valid reasons for that.
Similar to Megumi, Gojo possesses multiple inherited techniques, such as Six Eyes, which grants him virtually unlimited cursed energy usage, and Limitless, which gives him mastery over space. Apart from these natural abilities, Gojo was born with exceptional intelligence, immense strength, impressive speed, and unmatched reflexes. Upon its unveiling, Unlimited Void is so potent that it completely paralyzes the cursed spirit Jogo.
Jujutsu Kaisen's power system is a key aspect of its appeal. The complexity of the Domain Expansion technique adds an intriguing element to every fight. Although not all characters possess this ability, those who do are considered the strongest in the series. In essence, the strongest Domain Expansions in Jujutsu Kaisen embody true power.
