Jujutsu Kaisen is packed with powerhouses, but a handful of sorcerers sit on an entirely different level. The series classifies sorcerers across eight official grades — from Grade 4 at the bottom all the way up to the elite rank of Special Grade, with semi-grades filling the gaps in between.

Special Grade Sorcerers aren’t just strong — they’re borderline untouchable. Their abilities so vastly outclass Grade 1 sorcerers that comparing them barely makes sense anymore. As it stands, the world of Jujutsu Kaisen officially recognizes five Special Grade Sorcerers, along with one more figure currently inhabiting the body of a Special Grade, effectively granting him the same terrifying status.

These are the sorcerers who bend battles, rewrite rules, and change the direction of the story the moment they step onto the stage. 

Kenjaku — The Thousand-Year Mastermind of Jujutsu Kaisen

Kenjaku isn’t a Special Grade Sorcerer on paper — but make no mistake, he’s a Special Grade threat in every sense of the word. In the modern timeline, he’s currently inhabiting the body of Suguru Geto, a Special Grade sorcerer whose immense power Kenjaku has leveraged for his own ends. Because Kenjaku gains access to Geto’s Cursed Spirit Manipulation and applies it with terrifying skill, many fans and analysts consider him Special Grade by capability and impact. 

The Ancient Architect of Chaos

Kenjaku is one of the oldest and most cunning figures in Jujutsu Kaisen. Born over a thousand years ago, he has prolonged his life by using his innate brain-transplant cursed technique. This allows him to merge his consciousness into another person’s body — living or dead — and fully control them while retaining their memories, cursed techniques, and cursed energy. 

Over centuries, Kenjaku has hopped through countless hosts. This body-swapping isn’t just survival — it’s power accumulation. By inhabiting different sorcerers, he has collected unique cursed techniques and battlefield experience in a way no other sorcerer can match. 

Kenjaku’s influence spans nearly the entire historical arc of Jujutsu Kaisen. He played a hidden role in multiple major events, from manipulating historical sorcerers to forging the modern conflicts that shape the story’s climax. Fans often point out that his schemes were quietly brewing long before the main cast knew what was coming. 

Cursed Technique, Strategy & Tactical Genius

While inhabiting Geto’s body, Kenjaku wields Cursed Spirit Manipulation — among the most potent abilities in the series — allowing him to command and refine cursed spirits of virtually any grade. But he doesn’t just summon them; he refines low-grade cursed spirits into far more dangerous forms, putting even high-grade threats on the table. 

Kenjaku also uses techniques extracted from hosts or cursed spirits he has consumed, such as Idle Transfiguration (Mahito’s ability to reshape souls) and Maximum: Uzumaki, a devastating blast of stored cursed spirits. These make him a versatile and unpredictable combatant, far beyond the limitations of a typical sorcerer. 

More Than Just a Villain — The Master Plan

Kenjaku is arguably the central architect of the series’ long-term conflicts. His overarching plan involves evolving humanity through cursed energy — forcing massive cursed energy surges, mixing curses and humans, and shaping events that drive the world toward his vision of evolution beyond conventional limits. 

It’s this combination of ancient knowledge, cursed power versatility, and cold intellectual ambition that makes Kenjaku not just powerful — but dangerously visionary. Characters throughout the series, including other villains like Mahito and cursed spirits like Jogo, have acknowledged his terrifying capability and ruthlessness. 

Why Kenjaku Matters in Jujutsu Kaisen

Even if his title doesn’t say Special Grade, Kenjaku’s effects on the story place him alongside the greatest threats in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe:

• He largely orchestrated the Culling Game’s existence, pulling strings behind the scenes. 

• He kept Gojo sealed and manipulated global politics to achieve cursed energy expansion. 

• He directly influenced Yuji’s birth through possession of Yuji’s mother, linking himself to the protagonist’s origins. 

His intelligence is often described as ruthless and methodical, with centuries of strategic experience that make him one of the smartest and most dangerous villains in anime — matching or even surpassing others in pure influence and foresight. 

In short, Kenjaku isn’t just another antagonist — he’s the mastermind whose ambition, intellect, and cursed mastery shape the entire world of Jujutsu Kaisen.

Suguru Geto — From Jujutsu High Elite to World-Shaking Villain

Before Kenjaku adopted his body and identity, Suguru Geto stood as one of the most powerful and influential sorcerers in Jujutsu Kaisen. Once Satoru Gojo’s closest friend and classmate at Tokyo Jujutsu High, Geto was a top-tier sorcerer whose descent into villainy reshaped the entire jujutsu world.

The Best Friend Who Fell

Geto and Gojo weren’t just peers — they were inseparable, rising through jujutsu ranks together and complementing each other’s strengths. Gojo’s limitless jujutsu and Geto’s Cursed Spirit Manipulation made them a duo feared and respected across the sorcery world.

But as he matured, Geto became disillusioned with the core principles of Jujutsu Society. Where sorcerers aimed to protect humans from curses, Geto began to see ordinary people as the true curse on the world, unworthy of protection. This twisted belief ultimately drove him to rebel, rejecting the hierarchy and code he once defended.

Turning Against Humanity

Suguru Geto’s fall was extreme — he didn’t just leave the jujutsu world; he attacked it. He started systematically slaughtering ordinary people, justifying it as a form of “cleansing” to rid the world of those he viewed as weak and unimportant.

This ideology made him one of the first major antagonists the series presented — a sorcerer who didn’t serve curses, but instead believed humans themselves were flawed beyond repair. His philosophy became a seedbed for future chaos and influenced many events long after his death.

Cursed Spirit Manipulation — A Terrifying Cursed Technique

Geto’s strength in combat came from his innate ability called Cursed Spirit Manipulation, one of the most threatening techniques in the entire franchise.

Unlike most sorcerers who use their own cursed energy for attacks, Geto could capture, store, and command cursed spirits — including extremists, disasters, and high-level threats — like weapons in an arsenal.

He didn’t just hold a few spirits — he could contain thousands at once, instantly summoning them into a battlefield and unleashing chaos on an unimaginable scale.

Where most sorcerers faced one or two strong cursed spirits at a time, Geto’s army could wreak havoc across cities — a terrifying force of multiple simultaneous threats.

The End of Geto — and His Legacy

Suguru Geto’s reign didn’t last forever. During the events of Jujutsu Kaisen 0, he became the central antagonist opposing Yuta Okkotsu and his classmates at Tokyo Jujutsu High.

In that story, Yuta — pushed to his limits and driven by his bond with Rika — ultimately defeated Geto, bringing an end to his deadly agenda. Geto’s death was not just a dramatic conclusion in Zero, it was a pivotal moment in the series’ lore that reverberates through the main timeline.

Why Geto Still Matters

Even though he’s long gone by the present events of the main story, Geto’s impact continues to shape the world:

• His philosophies still echo through villains like Kenjaku, Mahito, and others who question the value of human life.

• Kenjaku deliberately inhabits Geto’s body to exploit not just his strength, but the symbolic influence his identity carries.

• Major conflicts — including the Culling Game and the sealing of Gojo — trace back to schemes and structures Geto indirectly influenced.

Even in death, Suguru Geto remains one of Jujutsu Kaisen’s most consequential sorcerers — a tragic figure whose brilliance, fall from grace, and ruthless worldview helped shape the saga’s darkest chapters.

Yuta Okkotsu — The Copy King and Special Grade Powerhouse of Jujutsu Kaisen

Yuta Okkotsu might have started his journey as a scared, cursed high school kid in Jujutsu Kaisen 0, but by the time he steps into the main series, he’s one of the most versatile and terrifying sorcerers in the entire franchise. 

From Tragedy to Power

Yuta’s story begins with heartbreak: after his childhood friend Rika Orimoto dies in a car accident, her spirit becomes a powerful Special Grade vengeful cursed spirit forever bound to him, earning the title “Queen of Curses.”

Bullied and cornered by Rika’s uncontrollable power, Yuta is almost executed by the Jujutsu Society — until Satoru Gojo intervenes and brings him to Jujutsu High, forging him into a sorcerer capable of controlling the overwhelming cursed energy that once haunted him.

Copy — A Game-Changing Innate Technique

Yuta’s core ability is the Copy cursed technique — one of the most unique and powerful in Jujutsu Kaisen. Copy allows Yuta to replicate the cursed techniques of others he has encountered and then use them as if they were his own. 

Here’s how it works and why it’s so insane:

• Technique Replication: Yuta can copy any innate cursed technique — including rare and high-tier abilities — as long as a certain condition is met, often involving Rika consuming a part of the original user. 

• Literal Arsenal Storage: When fully manifested, Rika can act as an arsenal of tools, techniques and stored energy, including cursed tools and even techniques copied from opponents.

• Flexibility Beyond Limits: Yuta has copied Cursed Speech from Toge Inumaki, allowing him to issue enemies impossible commands, and even copied “sky manipulation” from Takako Uro to control battlefield space. 

• Domain Integration: Yuta’s Domain Expansion, Authentic Mutual Love, lets him wield every copied technique inside a single powerful domain field — essentially turning his adaptability into a sure-hit environment. 

Rather than relying on one signature move, Yuta’s strength comes from how many different powerful techniques he can use and switch between, something almost no other sorcerer can do. 

Reverse Cursed Technique — Healing & Beyond

Yuta doesn’t rely on Copy alone; he’s also mastered the Reverse Cursed Technique — a rare ability that lets him apply cursed energy as positive (healing) energy. 

• He has healed multiple allies at once — something few sorcerers can do. 

• In the Culling Game, he has used this ability strategically to sustain himself and avoid fatal blows. 

This blend of offense, defense, adaptability, and regeneration makes Yuta a diamond-level threat on the battlefield. 

Position in the Main Timeline

After the events of Jujutsu Kaisen 0, Yuta is no longer bound solely to Rika — after freeing her, he still retains massive cursed energy reserves and access to his abilities, and maintains his Special Grade sorcerer status. 

He re-enters the main story as a major power player:

• Briefly opposing Yuji Itadori to “execute” him on orders from the jujutsu higher-ups (which turns out to be a tactical ruse). 

• Dominating other powerful Culling Game participants such as Ryu Ishigori and Uro, proving his strength against reincarnated Heian sorcerers. 

• Later assisting in fights against Sukuna’s forces and even utilizing copied abilities like Technique Extinguishment in his Domain against King of Curses himself. 

Why Yuta Is Insanely Versatile

What truly sets Yuta apart isn’t just raw cursed energy — it’s his ability to adapt and outthink opponents by accessing their own power against them. That, combined with his healing and domain versatility, makes him one of the few characters capable of shifting the outcome of any clash. 

In a world where sorcerers often struggle with mastering a single technique, Yuta’s arsenal approach makes him one of the most intriguing and strategically dominant fighters in Jujutsu Kaisen — one whose full potential is still unfolding.

Satoru Gojo — The Untouchable King of Jujutsu Kaisen

Satoru Gojo isn’t just popular — he’s become one of the most iconic and influential characters in modern anime history. Charismatic, outrageous, and impossibly powerful, Gojo’s presence reshaped Jujutsu Kaisen from the moment he stepped on screen. Fans don’t just love him — they fear and respect him in equal measure.

A Special Grade Sorcerer Like No Other

While Special Grade is already the highest classification in the jujutsu world, Gojo doesn’t just belong in that tier — he redefines it. Even among his elite peers, Gojo’s abilities stand in a league of their own, to the point where many fans and analysts consider him the strongest character in the entire franchise — if not outright unstoppable when he’s at full power.

Gojo is the pinnacle of the Gojo Clan, a bloodline legendary for its cursed energy capacity. What sets him apart from every Gojo before him — and from almost every sorcerer in existence — is that he was born with both the Limitless and the Six Eyes.

Limitless — The Power of Infinity

Gojo’s innate cursed technique, Limitless, manipulates space at its most fundamental level — effectively letting him control distance itself. The technique has several terrifying applications:

• Infinity “Barrier” — Automatically slows or nullifies anything approaching Gojo, effectively creating an untouchable field.

• Blue — A spatial vacuum that pulls everything toward a target with crushing force.

• Red — A repulsive force so powerful it can obliterate matter like a gravitational bomb.

• Hollow Purple — The combination of Blue and Red into a single destructive beam that erases anything in its path from existence.

These applications elevate Gojo from a Speed/Strength fighter to a spatial manipulator, giving him control over the very fabric of combat.

Six Eyes — Sight Beyond Sight

The Six Eyes is not just a sensory upgrade — it’s a cognitive and cursed energy revolution. This technique exponentially increases Gojo’s perception and cursed energy efficiency, allowing him to:

• See cursed energy with extreme precision

• Reduce cursed energy consumption to near zero

• Instantly predict and analyze enemy abilities

• Distinguish every subtle nuance of cursed techniques in real time

This not only makes his Limitless technique practically perfect in execution — it makes Gojo borderline omniscient on the battlefield.

An Unbeatable Combatant

Gojo’s unmatched offensive and defensive capabilities aren’t just theoretical — they’re proven. In major arcs like Shibuya Incident, Gojo stood toe-to-toe with some of the strongest threats in the series, forcing them to expend enormous amounts of cursed energy just to hold their ground. Even multiple Special Grade Cursed Spirits couldn’t defeat him without resorting to sealing him with the Prison Realm.

What truly makes Gojo terrifying is not only his raw power, but how he uses it with ease. He effortlessly dissects dangerous techniques, counters complex strategies, and dominates multiple enemies at once — all while barely breaking a sweat.

Personality, Confidence & Influence

Gojo’s arrogance isn’t fake — it’s backed by results. His famously playful and cocky attitude comes from absolute confidence born from unrivaled strength. Yet beneath that charm lies a strategic master who understands the weight of power and chooses when — and how — to use it.

He reshaped the Jujutsu Society not only through combat but through influence, recruiting and mentoring talents like Megumi Fushiguro and Yuji Itadori — characters who have become central to the narrative’s future.

Legacy & Impact

Satoru Gojo is more than just an overpowered sorcerer — he’s a cornerstone of the series:

• A cultural icon in anime fandom worldwide

• The standard by which all cursed techniques are measured

• A turning point in nearly every major conflict in Jujutsu Kaisen

• The reason the modern jujutsu world survived long enough to face its gravest threats

Even in his absence after the Shibuya Incident’s sealing, his influence echoes — shaping strategies, inspiring allies, and haunting enemies.

Why Gojo Matters

From his insane cursed abilities to his role as mentor, kingmaker, and battlefield dominator, Satoru Gojo isn’t just one of Jujutsu Kaisen’s strongest — he’s one of anime’s most unforgettable forces. Few characters can match his combination of lore, impact, sheer power, and personality — and that’s exactly why he’s cemented as a modern classic.

Ryōmen Sukuna — The King of Curses and Ultimate Force in Jujutsu Kaisen

Ryōmen Sukuna isn’t just a villain — he’s the most feared and powerful presence in the entire Jujutsu Kaisen universe. Known as the King of Curses, Sukuna’s legend stretches back over a thousand years to the Heian era, where he was once a human sorcerer whose strength eclipsed every other practitioner of jujutsu. 

Sukuna’s power is so immense that even the most elite sorcerers regard him as the measuring stick for ultimate strength. In terms of cursed energy output, he reportedly has at least double the amount of cursed energy of Yuta Okkotsu, one of the most potent sorcerers alive, and his control and efficiency with cursed techniques are described as peerless. 

Born to Dominate — Cursed Technique “Shrine”

At the core of Sukuna’s combat prowess is his innate technique known as Shrine, which manifests as a series of devastating slashing attacks:

• Dismantle — invisible long-range slashes capable of cutting through nearly anything.

• Cleave — adaptive slashes that tune themselves to a target’s properties for maximum cutting efficiency.
  These techniques alone make him lethal at both range and close quarters, literally slicing enemies apart with terrifying precision. 

Beyond that, Sukuna can also manipulate divine or cursed flame, using it to incinerate targets from a distance — a display of versatility that pushes his offensive suite beyond pure slashes. 

Malevolent Shrine — A Domain Like No Other

Sukuna’s Domain Expansion, Malevolent Shrine, is widely considered one of the most overwhelming domains in the series. Unlike most domains that create a separate enclosed space, Sukuna’s doesn’t use a barrier, allowing him to project a massive slashing field across a wide radius, essentially guaranteeing hits on anything within range. 

This barrier-less structure makes his domain especially lethal — even sorcerers who can normally avoid or counter domain attacks find it terrifyingly difficult to evade Sukuna’s strikes once it’s active. 

Beyond Raw Power — Cursed Energy Mastery & Regeneration

What truly sets Sukuna apart is not just raw power but mastery over cursed energy itself. He can perform Domain Expansion repeatedly without tiring, shift seamlessly between techniques, and even use reverse cursed technique to regenerate injuries — such as keeping his heart beating with only cursed energy after serious damage. 

This mastery was so startling that other top sorcerers, including Hajime Kashimo, admitted that if not for abilities like the Six Eyes, even Satoru Gojo might struggle against Sukuna’s cursed energy command. 

Cursed Object & Reincarnation

After his death in the ancient past, Sukuna transformed himself into twenty cursed objects — his fingers — each containing a fragment of his immense power. When Yuji Itadori consumed one of these fingers, Sukuna’s consciousness and strength began to reawaken inside Yuji’s body, making him a part-host in the modern era. 

This reincarnation mechanic has shaped much of the series, putting Sukuna directly at the core of the story’s conflict and forcing protagonists to confront not just a powerful curse, but the literal embodiment of jujutsu’s darkest legacy. 

Unmatched Intellect & Cruelty

Sukuna isn’t just strong — he’s calculating, sadistic, and astonishingly confident in his own supremacy. He views most opponents with contempt, rarely taking threats seriously until they actually challenge him, and even then, he enjoys the carnage more than the conquest. 

His relationship with Yuji adds an extra layer of psychological tension — Sukuna doesn’t merely inhabit Yuji’s body, he belittles him, manipulates him, and continually seeks opportunities to twist every conflict to his favor. 

King of Curses — A Tier of His Own

Whether through his unparalleled cursed energy reserves, insanely efficient mastery of techniques, lethal domain expansion, or near-perfect regeneration and adaptability, Ryōmen Sukuna stands at the apex of Jujutsu Kaisen’s power hierarchy. He isn’t just a top-tier antagonist — he’s a force that defines what strength means in this world. 

In short: while characters like Gojo, Yuta, and Tengen are formidable, Sukuna embodies the ultimate expression of cursed sorcery — a true king whose ambitions, brutality, and capacity for destruction make him one of the most formidable figures in all of anime.

From Special Grade legends to ancient masterminds and rising prodigies, Jujutsu Kaisen’s strongest sorcerers prove why this series sits at the top of modern shonen. Season after season, the scale keeps growing — bigger threats, sharper techniques, and character moments that hit just as hard as the fights.

Whether you’re Team Gojo, siding with Sukuna’s terrifying supremacy, or rooting for Yuta, Hakari, and the new generation, one thing’s certain — the world of Jujutsu Kaisen is only getting wilder from here. Stay tuned, reread your favorite arcs, and get ready for what’s next… because the real battles have only just begun.
