In the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, power isn’t just about raw cursed energy—it’s about technique, adaptability, and the sheer ability to overcome impossible odds.

Whether you’re an anime-only viewer or caught up with the manga, this comprehensive ranking breaks down the most formidable jujutsu sorcerers based on their cursed techniques, domain expansions, battle feats, and overall combat prowess.
How We Ranked These Sorcerers
Our rankings consider several factors:
- Cursed energy reserves and control
- Cursed technique versatility and potency
- Domain Expansion capabilities
- Combat experience and battle intelligence
- Confirmed victories against powerful opponents
- Special abilities or restrictions
Let’s dive into the definitive ranking of the strongest sorcerers in Jujutsu Kaisen.
#10: Kento Nanami – The Precision Fighter
Kento Nanami might not have the flashiest techniques, but his precision and efficiency make him one of the most reliable Grade 1 sorcerers in the series.
Key Strengths:
- 7:3 Ratio Technique that creates critical weak points on any target
- Exceptional tactical mind and battlefield awareness
- Years of practical experience handling dangerous curses
- Remarkable endurance and determination
Nanami’s methodical approach to combat and his ability to identify weaknesses sets him apart from other Grade 1 sorcerers. His 7:3 technique allows him to create vulnerable points on opponents, turning even the strongest defenses into exploitable weaknesses. While he lacks the raw power of Special Grade sorcerers, his combat intelligence and discipline make him a formidable opponent against most threats.
#9: Kinji Hakari – The Undying Gambler
The president of Tokyo Jujutsu High’s third-year students brings a unique gambling-based cursed technique that makes him nearly unstoppable when luck is on his side.
Key Strengths:
- Idle Death Gamble Domain Expansion
- Near-immortality for 4 minutes when hitting the jackpot
- Infinite cursed energy during his “fever” state
- Extraordinary physical abilities even without his technique
Hakari’s Domain Expansion operates like a pachinko machine, granting him temporary immortality when he hits the jackpot. During this state, he can instantly heal from virtually any injury and wield unlimited cursed energy. Yuta Okkotsu himself admitted that Hakari is stronger than him when he’s on a roll, showcasing just how dangerous the gambling sorcerer can be. His performance against formidable ancient sorcerers in the Culling Game further cemented his position among the elite.
#8: Yuki Tsukumo – The Mysterious Special Grade
As one of the only four recognized Special Grade sorcerers before the Shibuya Incident, Yuki Tsukumo wields tremendous power that remains partly shrouded in mystery.
Key Strengths:
- Mass manipulation technique
- Summoning of the shikigami Garuda
- Vast knowledge of jujutsu and cursed energy
- One of only four Special Grade sorcerers acknowledged by the Jujutsu Society
Yuki’s ability to manipulate mass allows her to control gravity and momentum in battle, making her unpredictable and extremely dangerous. Her shikigami Garuda provides both offensive and defensive capabilities, while her deep understanding of cursed energy mechanics makes her a versatile fighter. Her battle against Kenjaku demonstrated her exceptional skill, even if we haven’t seen her full capabilities yet.
#7: Toji Fushiguro – The Sorcerer Killer
Despite possessing zero cursed energy, Toji earned his reputation as the “Sorcerer Killer” through sheer physical prowess and tactical brilliance.
Key Strengths:
- Heavenly Restriction granting superhuman physical abilities
- Invisibility to cursed technique detection due to lack of cursed energy
- Mastery of cursed tools and weapons
- Tactical genius in combat situations
Toji’s Heavenly Restriction compensated for his lack of cursed energy by granting him extraordinary physical strength, speed, and reflexes far beyond human capabilities. His ability to defeat a young Satoru Gojo (before awakening) proves his exceptional combat prowess. With access to an arsenal of powerful cursed tools stored in his body, Toji could adapt to nearly any opponent’s weakness. His performance in the Hidden Inventory arc and brief resurrection during the Shibuya Incident showcased why he was feared by even the most powerful sorcerers.
#6: Hajime Kashimo – Thunder-Fueled Berserker
The ancient sorcerer from the Heian era brings electrifying power to the modern battlefield with his unique cursed energy properties.
Key Strengths:
- Cursed energy naturally converted to electricity
- Ability to build and release electrical charges
- Implied one-time-use cursed technique saved for battling Sukuna
- Centuries of combat experience
Kashimo’s cursed energy naturally takes the form of electricity, allowing him to deliver devastating attacks that few can withstand. His ability to store positive charges on opponents before releasing a massive surge of electricity makes him exceptionally dangerous in close combat. His battle against Hakari demonstrated his formidable power, pushing the modern sorcerer to his limits. Kashimo’s greatest weapon—his one-time-use cursed technique—remains a mystery saved for Sukuna, suggesting even greater power in reserve.
#5: Kenjaku – Ancient Manipulator
The thousand-year-old sorcerer possesses one of the most versatile and dangerous techniques in the series, allowing him to transcend death itself.
Key Strengths:
- Brain-transferring cursed technique
- Cursed Spirit Manipulation inherited from Geto
- Vast knowledge accumulated over centuries
- Masterful strategic planning and manipulation
Kenjaku’s ability to transfer his brain to other bodies allows him to acquire and preserve various cursed techniques throughout history. After taking over Suguru Geto’s body, he gained access to Cursed Spirit Manipulation, enabling him to control countless cursed spirits and utilize their techniques. As the mastermind behind numerous catastrophic events, including Yuji’s birth and the Culling Game, Kenjaku’s true strength lies in his planning and adaptability. His ability to fight multiple Special Grade sorcerers simultaneously demonstrates his immense combat capabilities.
#4: Yuta Okkotsu – The Copy Master
The prodigy second-year student continues to evolve as one of the most formidable sorcerers of the modern era.
Key Strengths:
- Copy technique allowing him to replicate others’ cursed techniques
- Enormous cursed energy reserves
- Rika’s support and stored cursed tools
- Exceptional Reverse Cursed Technique healing abilities
Yuta’s ability to copy other sorcerers’ techniques makes him extraordinarily versatile in combat. With Rika at his side, he has access to numerous stored cursed tools and techniques. His vast cursed energy reserves exceed almost everyone else in the series, allowing him to use powerful techniques repeatedly without exhaustion. His mastery of Reverse Cursed Technique enables him to heal catastrophic injuries and even resurrect the recently deceased. Gojo himself acknowledged Yuta could potentially surpass him, placing him firmly among the strongest sorcerers in history.
#3: Ryomen Sukuna – The King of Curses
The legendary King of Curses lives up to his reputation as one of the most fearsome entities in jujutsu history.
Key Strengths:
- Dismantle and Cleave techniques that can cut anything
- Malevolent Shrine Domain Expansion with 200-meter range
- Fire manipulation abilities
- Access to Ten Shadows Technique after merging with Megumi
Sukuna’s overwhelming power has been demonstrated repeatedly throughout the series. His Dismantle and Cleave techniques can cut through virtually anything, while his Malevolent Shrine stands as the most refined Domain Expansion, able to slice everything within its range. After merging with Megumi Fushiguro, Sukuna gained access to the Ten Shadows Technique, further expanding his already vast arsenal. His battles against Jogo, Mahoraga, and multiple Special Grade threats have consistently proven why he earned the title “King of Curses.”
#2: Satoru Gojo – The Honored One
The man who confidently claimed to be “the strongest” backs it up with perhaps the most broken combination of abilities in the series.
Key Strengths:
- Six Eyes and Limitless technique combination
- Infinite cursed energy efficiency
- Purple, Red, and Blue techniques
- Unlimited Void Domain Expansion
Gojo’s Six Eyes grant him perfect cursed energy control and the ability to use the Limitless technique with near-zero energy consumption. His mastery of space manipulation allows him to repel attacks with Blue, attract with Red, and annihilate matter with Purple. His Domain Expansion, Unlimited Void, overloads opponents’ brains with infinite information, paralyzing them completely. For most of the series, Gojo stood uncontested as the strongest sorcerer alive, with only special circumstances like the Prison Realm able to neutralize him.
#1: Prime Sukuna (Post-Megumi Fusion) – The Perfected King of Curses
After acquiring Megumi Fushiguro’s body and technique, Sukuna reached a new level of power that surpassed all previous limitations.
Key Strengths:
- Combined arsenal of Cleave/Dismantle, fire techniques, and Ten Shadows
- Enhanced Divine Dogs, Nue, Toad, and other shikigami
- Perfected Domain Expansion with expanded capabilities
- Access to Mahoraga when needed
The fusion of Sukuna with Megumi’s body created the most dangerous entity in the series. With access to both his original techniques and the Ten Shadows, Sukuna could overwhelm even Gojo in direct combat. His ability to summon and control enhanced versions of Megumi’s shikigami, including the previously uncontrollable Mahoraga, gives him unprecedented versatility. The combination of his refined domain with Megumi’s shadow manipulation creates a nearly unbeatable combat system. After defeating multiple Special Grade sorcerers simultaneously in the final battle, Sukuna firmly established himself as the apex of jujutsu sorcery.
Honorable Mentions
Megumi Fushiguro – The Ten Shadows Technique user showed immense potential before Sukuna’s possession, with abilities that rival the ancient Zen’in clan heads.
Maki Zenin – After completing her Heavenly Restriction, Maki gained Toji-level physical abilities, allowing her to single-handedly eliminate the entire Zen’in clan.
Yuji Itadori – While still developing, Yuji’s physical prowess, growing cursed energy control, and Black Flash mastery make him a rising force in the jujutsu world.
Uro Takako & Ryu Ishigori – These ancient sorcerers demonstrated Special Grade-level abilities during the Culling Game, with techniques that could manipulate space and fire devastating energy blasts, respectively.
Conclusion
The power hierarchy in Jujutsu Kaisen remains fluid, with battles often determined by compatibility and circumstances rather than raw strength alone. While Prime Sukuna currently stands at the pinnacle of power, the evolving nature of the series means these rankings could shift with new revelations. What makes Jujutsu Kaisen’s power system so compelling is that technique compatibility often matters more than sheer power—creating battles where strategy and adaptation prove just as important as cursed energy reserves.
