1. #1Cursed Energyselective

   Keys: Cursed Energy, Juryoku

   Cursed Energy (Juryoku) is a power source aligned with negative emotions used by sorcerers and cursed spirits to fuel their jujutsu. Negative emotions such as grief and anger are the foundation of cursed energy. These emotions exist to some degree within most humans and as a result, the vast majority of human beings possess cursed energy. If this amount is higher than a certain degree, it grants the person the ability to see cursed spirits. These individuals are known as jujutsu sorcerers and they are very rare among the human race. Cursed energy leaks from the human body, accumulates, and ferments over time until a cursed spirit manifests. This is only the case with non-sorcerers, as sorcerers are trained to control and channel their cursed energy into jujutsu.

2. #2Cursed Energy Usageselective

   Keys: Cursed Energy · Secondary: Use, Usage

   Cursed energy is the primary power source for any sorcerer or cursed spirit. Cursed tools, cursed objects, and cursed corpses all contain cursed energy as well. It is ordinarily used to fuel cursed techniques, reinforce the body, or activate talismans, but cursed energy has various uses. The properties of cursed energy vary from person to person and its connection to the human brain is shrouded in mystery. In the anime, most cursed energy is blue in color but there are several exceptions.

3. #3Cursed Energy Sightselective

   Keys: Cursed Energy, Curse · Secondary: Detection, Invisible

   Humans with an above-average level of cursed energy can see curses and jujutsu. The minimum requirement for a human to be considered a sorcerer is the ability to see curses. In extreme cases, humans will gain the ability to see curses when their life is in danger.

4. #4Cursed Energy Residualsselective

   Keys: Cursed Energy · Secondary: Residual, Residuals, Trace, Traces, Track, Tracking, Zan'e, Footprint, Foot print, Footprints, Linger, Lingering

   Using jujutsu leaves Residuals (Zan'e) of cursed energy behind. Residuals leave spectral footprints that can be used to track the user. Someone can even be identified by the residuals from their jujutsu. Expert sorcerers can be trained to cover up their residuals. The ability to detect cursed energy and understand its flow can be honed, but many cursed spirits are capable of hiding their presence the same way a sorcerer does.

5. #5Cursed Energy Manipulationselective

   Keys: Cursed Energy · Secondary: Manipulation, Manipulate

   A jujutsu user's ability to control their cursed energy and use it to carry out certain functions is the base foundation for all jujutsu. There is a world of difference between being able to sense jujutsu and being able to use it. Yuji Itadori was able to sense the pressure of cursed energy surrounding his school, but was not able to utilize it until enrolling at a jujutsu educational facility. He was first able to utilize cursed energy in combat while he was overwhelmed with anger and fear, but could not do so in a calmer situation a few days afterward.

6. #6Cursed Energy Controlselective

   Keys: Cursed Energy · Secondary: Efficiency, Control

   Proper control over one's emotions is key to channeling cursed energy and every jujutsu sorcerer is trained to do so. This makes it so sorcerers don't waste their power supply even while they're overcome with emotion. This results in sorcerers leaking much less cursed energy than the average human. So much so, that if every human were a sorcerer, curses would cease to spawn. There are other differences in how sorcerers and non-sorcerers use cursed energy due to their profession, but the real reason lies in how it flows. While cursed energy leaks outward from non-sorcerers, it flows heavily within sorcerers which keeps it contained.

7. #7Cursed Energy Applicationselective

   Keys: Cursed Energy · Secondary: Imbuement, Application, Apply

   Applying cursed energy to physical attacks can be as effective as a cursed technique when it comes to gifted combatants who specialize in hand-to-hand combat. Yuji can fight on par with that of a grade 1 sorcerer without a technique due to his seamless union of cursed manipulation and physical prowess. Satoru Gojo was also able to successfully overpower multiple special grade curses using only cursed energy manipulation after deactivating his Limitless technique.

8. #8Cursed Energy Outputselective

   Keys: Cursed Energy · Secondary: Output

   The amount of cursed energy released by an individual is referred to as their potential Cursed Energy Output. This applies to both how it's used offensively and defensively. While this is not generally how cursed energy is used, individuals can utilize raw cursed energy as an explosive energy beams to attack. Finger Bearers can launch their energy as a projectile and erect cursed energy barriers. Ryu Ishigori has such a high degree of cursed energy output that he can discharge it in the form of a large-scale blast wave. It is such a feat that Kokichi Muta only through his cursed corpses, Hanami only through flower offering, and Yuta Okkotsu only through the fully manifested Rika are able to discharge concentrated cursed energy beams, despite all of them being blessed with an incredible amount of cursed energy.

9. #9Cursed Energy Defenseselective

   Keys: Cursed Energy, Spiritual · Secondary: Defense, Enhance, Reinforce, Reinforcement, Imbue, Imbuement, Offense, Defense

   Defensively, users can coat their skin in cursed energy to harden their body and increase their ability to block incoming curse related attacks. The same application can be used offensively, imbuing physical attacks with cursed energy to increase their destructive power to superhuman levels. Aoi Todo crushed a curse, several trees, and broke through Yuji's defense with a single cursed energy infused punch. Conventional weapons can also be infused with cursed energy to increase their strength. Imbuing too much cursed energy at one time to a normal weapon can compromise its integrity and destroy it, so a sorcerer must only infuse small amounts of energy at a time. Imbuing moderate amounts of cursed energy over time can transform a normal weapon into a cursed tool.

10. #10Special Cursed Energy Traitsselective

    Keys: Special Cursed Energy Traits, Cursed Energy Trait

    There are rare cases where cursed energy carries a special property unique to its user. When applied to their fighting techniques, it can grant them a special texture or effect that gives them an advantage in battle. These special traits cannot be defended by simple reinforcement techniques. Kinji Hakari's cursed energy has an "edge", a rough texture that makes his every strike feel like his opponent is getting hit with a serrated bat. Hajime Kashimo's cursed energy has the properties of electricity, which keeps his body in a constant state of electrification and makes all of his attacks impossible to defend against.

    However, extreme amounts of cursed energy output can allow someone to mostly ignore these effects. Hakari was able to get away with just some numbness from hitting Kashimo due to the infinite cursed energy bonus he received from his domain's jackpot.

11. #11Black Flashselective

    Keys: Black Flash, Kokusen

    Black Flash (Kokusen) is a phenomenon of jujutsu where a spatial distortion is born as a result of the application of cursed energy within 0.000001 seconds of a physical hit. The distortion causes cursed energy to flash black, multiplying the destructive power of a normal hit. There is no sorcerer who can use it at will, but those who have unleashed Black Flash gain an advanced understanding of cursed energy far beyond those who have not.

12. #12Reverse Cursed Energyselective

    Keys: Reverse Cursed Energy, RCT, Reversed Cursed Technique

    Reverse Cursed Technique is a special type of cursed technique that takes cursed energy and reverses it into positive energy. It is a very complex technique and is mainly used to heal human bodies.

    Reverse cursed technique converts cursed energy into positive energy to regenerate flesh and heal injuries. Cursed energy comes from negative emotions, unfit for healing living things. Reverse cursed technique uses the principle of multiplying a negative by another negative to produce a positive. While cursed energy flows from the gut, the brain directs reverse cursed technique.

    Positive energy can reproduce blood, bone, flesh, and organs, allowing proficient sorcerers to recover entire limbs and withstand powerful attacks. The speed and effectiveness of this process are dependent on the user's cursed energy output. Reverse cursed technique can even heal the soul, but this requires the unique ability to perceive the shape of the soul.

    Reverse cursed technique is extremely complex and difficult for most jujutsu sorcerers to perform. One of the primary hurdles when using reverse cursed technique is compensating for blood loss from injuries. Reverse cursed technique can convert cursed energy into blood in a technical process that consumes a massive amount of cursed energy. Individuals who can already convert cursed energy into blood like the Death Painting Wombs can learn to use reverse cursed technique easier than others.

    Most reverse cursed technique users can only heal themselves. Healing oneself is more efficient and less difficult to perform than healing others. One reason is the fundamental difference in application. Another is because the receiver's body can refuse the treatment due to an incompatibility with their cursed energy. The receiver could reject the healer's cursed energy or they could fail to respond to conversion. Due to this, the effectiveness of healing others with reverse cursed technique is case-by-case.

    Cursed spirits are manifestations of cursed energy and need only to manipulate it to heal instead of resorting to reverse cursed technique. They are vulnerable to positive energy because it can compromise the integrity of their bodies and destroy them.

    An innate technique exhausted by domain expansion cannot ordinarily be restored with reverse cursed technique. Satoru Gojo and Sukuna circumvented this limitation by damaging the engraving of their technique in their brain and then healing it with reverse cursed technique. However, they could not recover their exhausted technique and heal at the same time. This is a highly risky maneuver that can leave lasting damage to the user's brain and even prevent them from using domain expansion altogether.

    The primary tactic for fighting a reverse cursed technique user is to target their head. Positive energy is directed from there and a reverse cursed technique user can be killed if their head is destroyed before they get a chance to recover. Another countermeasure is using poison. Unlike flesh regeneration, targeting a toxin and removing it requires a higher level of reverse cursed technique. Not even Uraume's reverse cursed technique was able to deal with Choso's blood poisoning.

13. #13Cursed Restrictionsselective

    Keys: Cursed Restrictions, Binding Vow, Cursed Restriction, Binding Vows, Curse Contract, Cursed Contract

    To gain something, one must offer something in return. This is a concept that affects the world beyond jujutsu. Alongside emotion, risk is a key factor that can affect cursed energy. The greater the risk to the user, the more their cursed energy will react. It is believed that the fastest way to raise one's level as a sorcerer is a Binding Vow with their life as the trade-off. Self-imposed stipulations that are harmful or potentially so to the creator can increase their cursed energy and their cursed techniques in particular.

14. #14Heavenly Restrictionselective

    Keys: Heavenly Restriction

    Heavenly Restrictions are described as bindings placed on a sorcerer's body when they are born. These bindings usually refer to limitations on the human body that the person receives improved capabilities in a different capacity in exchange. For example, a Heavenly Restriction can cause a sorcerer born with low cursed energy to be physically gifted. Vise versa can also occur, sorcerers with high cursed energy can be born with exceptionally weak bodies.

15. #15Cursed Techniqueselective

    Keys: Cursed Technique

    Cursed Techniques (Jutsushiki) are abilities fueled by cursed energy. Different types include innate techniques, barrier techniques, shikigami, new shadow style, and more.

16. #16Cursed Technique Triggerselective

    Keys: Cursed Technique · Secondary: Activation, Trigger

    A cursed technique is activated through the act of pouring cursed energy into it, utilizing one of two processes; Lapse or Reversal. If cursed energy is comparable to electricity, cursed techniques are the appliances that use that power to function. Cursed energy is processed through a procedure akin to a mathematic formula within the user to activate a cursed technique.

17. #17Lapseselective

    Keys: Lapse, Forward Rotation Cursed Technique

    Lapse (Junten / Forward Rotation) refers to the basic, default, or neutral state of activation for a cursed technique. To activate a cursed technique through lapse, the caster circulates their cursed energy in a forward direction to channel it into their ability.[1]

18. #18Cursed Technique Reversalselective

    Keys: Cursed Technique Reversal, Reversal, Reverse Rotation Cursed Technique

    Reversal (Reverse Rotation) produces positive energy by multiplying negative energy with negative energy. Negative energy isn't suitable for recovering but positive energy can heal physical injuries. However, it requires highly sophisticated manipulation of cursed energy to achieve, so the ability to do so is rare.

19. #19Subtractionselective

    Keys: Subtraction, Cursed Technique Subtraction

    Cursed techniques often require hand signs, empowered words, or other gestures to activate. A sorcerer's skill is determined by the degree to which they can minimize and omit these components to make their abilities more efficient. Conversely, the purposeful inclusion of incantations or rituals can elevate a cursed technique's effectiveness.

20. #20Innate Techniqueselective

    Keys: Innate Technique

    Innate Techniques are unique abilities congenitally engraved into the user's body, specifically in the right prefrontal cortex of the brain. Most jujutsu sorcerers are born with an innate technique that manifests around the age of five or six, which continually carves its formula into the user over time.

    Innate techniques are proprietary and comprise eighty percent of a sorcerer's intrinsic skillset, making them nearly impossible to mimic, not unlike a copyrighted computer program. When an individual refers to their own personal cursed technique, they're generally talking about their innate technique.

    In almost all cases, an individual possesses only a single innate technique. In especially rare cases, someone may possess more than one. Kenjaku, who can switch bodies, has access to the technique carved into the body of his vessel. However, even can only possibly possess a maximum of three to four innate techniques at one time. Yuta Okkotsu can only utilize numerous techniques because Rika serves as his external aid. Otherwise, too many innate techniques will overload the user's brain.

21. #21Inherited Techniqueselective

    Keys: Inherited Technique, Hereditary Technique, Clan Technique, Bloodline Technique

    Inherited Techniques are innate techniques passed down to sorcerers in the same bloodline. While sorcerers who don't come from prominent clans can inherit innate techniques, e.g. Straw Doll Technique, those obtained hereditarily from the ancestors of the Big Three Families especially carry the title of inherited technique, e.g. Limitless. The Big Three Families have maintained their authority and prestige by passing down powerful techniques to their descendants. Therefore, a sorcerer with an inherited technique is guaranteed an important position in the family.

    Inherited Technique users have the advantage of being equipped with a manual on how to use them. However, passing down a technique through generations also presents the issue of other groups learning how the ability works, along with its shortcomings.

22. #22Non-Inherited Techniqueselective

    Keys: Non-Inherited Technique

    While the formula for hereditary innate techniques is only accessible to members of their respective clan who inherited the engraving, innate techniques often manifest naturally within sorcerers regardless of their heritage. Suguru Geto, Kento Nanami, and Aoi Todo all possess innate techniques despite being born to non-sorcerer families.

23. #23Extension Techniqueselective

    Keys: Extension Technique

    Extension Techniques are original abilities derived from innate techniques. Innate techniques cannot be changed or altered, but they can be trained and expanded on through creativity to maximize their applications into extension techniques. E.g. Collapse is a more powerful application of Kento Nanami's Ratio Technique. In the case of inherited techniques, sorcerers pass down the original moves that they create. E.g. Blue and Red of the Limitless.

24. #24Maximumselective

    Keys: Maximum · Secondary: Output

    Extension techniques with the highest possible cursed energy output channeled into them. Not to be confused with Maximum Techniques, these moves are also titled Stack.

25. #25Maximum Techniqueselective

    Keys: Maximum Technique, Final Cursed Technique

    Maximum Techniques: Extension techniques that realize the greatest potential of their derived innate technique. They are the most supreme art of any sorcerer outside of domain expansion, e.g. Suguru's Maximum: Uzumaki is the maximum technique of his Cursed Spirit Manipulation.

26. #26Non-Innate Techniqueselective

    Keys: Non-Innate Technique

    Cursed techniques that aren't considered innate techniques are ubiquitous skills that anyone with enough cursed energy can learn to use with enough training. However, the aptitude for learning them differs from person to person. These include barriers techniques, shikigami jutsu, and new shadow style among other techniques.

27. #27Barrier Techniqueselective

    Keys: Barrier Technique

    Barrier Techniques are cursed techniques that employ barrier zones to trap entities within a space or to prevent them from entering one. Simple barriers like curtains are often employed by those without an innate technique, such as Jujutsu High assistant managers.

    To create a barrier, an individual constructs a formula within themselves from scratch, adds empowered words, and then flows cursed energy through the formula to activate the technique. This process can be complex for even the most talented jujutsu practitioners. Many strong sorcerers with innate techniques can't perform barrier techniques. E.g. creating a barrier is simple enough, but making it so only certain people can exit requires advanced skills.

28. #28Simple Barrierselective

    Keys: Simple Barrier, Basic Barrier

    Barriers are used to conceal, contain, or deny entry to others within that space. Anyone with enough cursed energy is capable of learning to deploy a barrier.

29. #29Curtainselective

    Keys: Curtain, Veil

    Curtains are vast, simple barriers with a spherical shell that conceal jujutsu activity from non-sorcerers and force cursed spirits to reveal themselves within the specified space.

30. #30Domain Expansionselective

    Keys: Domain Expansion

    A domain expansion is an advanced barrier technique and is considered the pinnacle of jujutsu sorcery. An innate domain manifested using cursed energy inside a barrier imbued with the user's innate technique. Expanding one's domain improves their abilities and ensures that all techniques employed within the barrier are guaranteed to hit their target. A specific hand sign or signal unique to the user is required to expand someone's respective domain. From the outside, a domain's barrier is normally completely closed, making it appear as a floating black sphere that can even be moved slightly if needed. Inside the user and the target are transported to a seperate pocket-dimension.

31. #31Lethal Domainselective

    Keys: Lethal Domain

    Domains that are expanded to be lethal are constructed within a barrier imbued with the user's cursed technique. The caster's abilities are amplified and any cursed techniques deployed within the domain are guaranteed to hit their target. This sure-hit factor is derived from the barrier's embedded technique, which is what makes this type of domain considered lethal. These can't-miss attacks can't even be stopped by Satoru Gojo's Infinity. However, not all guaranteed hits are necessarily lethal. Kinji Hakari's domain technically possesses a sure-hit function, but it only transfers information to its target in exchange for faster technique activation and strength in a clash of domains.

    Lethal domain expansions require immense skill and cursed energy to construct. Not only do they require the user to manifest a massive artificial environment, but they must be able to erect their own barrier and infuse it with their cursed technique in a timely fashion as well. Megumi Fushiguro for example, cannot expand a completed lethal domain because he struggles to create an independent space using a barrier.

32. #32Non-Lethal Domainselective

    Keys: Non-Lethal Domain

    In the past, Domain Expansion was a more common technique because domains weren't constructed to be fatal. They only forced targets inside to obey the rules of the embedded cursed technique. As more domains were constructed to be lethal, the number of users greatly decreased over time. Hiromi Higuruma's Deadly Sentencing is an example of an old-style, non-lethal domain that forces his opponent into a trial.

33. #33Incomplete Domainselective

    Keys: Incomplete Domain

    Innate domains that are expanded using only cursed energy without an embedded cursed technique are incomplete even if they include a barrier. In most cases, the same applies to domains without a fully enclosed barrier. Closing the barrier fully integrates the embedded technique into the domain and enables its sure hit effect. Without that, the caster will only receive an improved cursed technique without a can't-miss attack. Barriers forcibly enclosed using the shape of an outside environment also do not incorporate can't-miss attacks.

34. #34Domain Expansion Weaknessesselective

    Keys: Domain Expansion Weaknesses, Domain Expansion Drawbacks, Domain Expansion Countermeasures

    A domain's can't-miss attack can sometimes be countered with cursed energy reinforcement, but this is an impractical method. The only true defense against can't-miss attacks for those who cannot expand their own domain are anti-domain techniques. New Shadow Style: Simple Domain and Hollow Wicker Basket neutralize the barrier's embedded technique in order to nullify the guaranteed hit function.

    Domains are nearly impossible to escape from the inside. The cubic volume of the space appears completely different on the inside, making finding the boundary's location difficult for anyone trapped inside. Anyone searching for the edge of the domain is likely to be killed by its can't-miss attack and the barrier is reinforced from the inside even if they did find it. However, the more the barrier is reinforced from the inside, the more vulnerable it is to penetration from the outside. In specific situations, an ally of the domain's target can break in from the outside to rescue them.

35. #35Domain Clashselective

    Keys: Domain, Domain's, Domain Expansion, Domain Expansions, Domains · Secondary: Battle, Clash, Collide, Collision, Tug of war

    The best countermeasure against an opposing domain is to expand one's own domain. This will engage both combatants into a clash of domains where the more refined domain will conquer. The time it takes for one domain to dominate in a clash varies on that difference in refinement. E.g. Satoru Gojo's superior domain immediately dominated Jogo's while Dagon's domain took a much more significant amount of time to subdue Megumi's. In the case of overlapping domains, sure-hit effects cancel each other out. When two domains are completely even and the users fight with their domains open, the moment one combatant takes heavy damage or their domain collapses, the other's can't-miss attack will immediately strike. A clash of three domains is even more complicated than two and too many conflicting factors can cause the barriers to shatter before the domains are completely formed.

    Domain clashes don't always have to result in one domain conquering the other. Using Domain Expansion against a more refined domain can create a hole in the barrier for them to escape from as well.

36. #36Empty Barrierselective

    Keys: Empty Barrier

    Vacant zones where the edge is defined by an outer shell made of hexagon-shaped panels. The structure of the area be freely altered by a skilled barrier technique user. Kenjaku converted one into a movie theater to show Choso his plan. Tengen created numerous empty barriers above the Tombs of the Star Corridor and could freely peel open a barrier or erase it completely if necessary.

37. #37Pure Barrierselective

    Keys: Pure Barrier

    A superior version of a barrier. Tengen created many of them across Japan that raise the precision of their cursed spirit suppression as well as barrier techniques cast by Jujutsu High assistant managers. Four of them; the Imperial Palace, the Tombs of the Star, the Yamakuni Mausoleum, and Mt. Hida, are crucial to the jujutsu world.

38. #38Bon Barrierselective

    Keys: Bon Barrier

    An even more superior barrier to pure barriers. Using Tengen's existing pure barriers as a foundation, Kenjaku created a bon barrier to host the Culling Game.

39. #39Domainselective

    Keys: Domain · Secondary: Counter, Anti, Countermeasure

    Anti-Domain Techniques are countermeasures designed to withstand the can't-miss attack of opposing domain expansions. They are mainly designed for those who cannot expand their own domain for any reason.

40. #40Secret Artsselective

    Keys: Secret Arts, Secret Anti-Domain Technique

    Secret Arts are unique anti-domain techniques passed down in the Big Three Sorcerer Families. Having existed for millennia, the Big Three Families have accumulated many secret skills for dealing with cursed spirits and curse users.

41. #41Esoteric Technique: Hollow Wicker Basketselective

    Keys: Esoteric Technique: Hollow Wicker Basket

    The predecessor to simple domain that erects a spherical barrier that takes the appearance of a woven basket surrounding the caster. The technique neutralizes an expanded domain's barrier to nullify its can't-miss attack.

42. #42New Shadow Style: Simple Domainselective

    Keys: New Shadow Style: Simple Domain, Simple Domain

    New Shadow Style: Simple Domain is an anti-domain technique that erects a small domain complete with a barrier around the user to protect them from the effects of a Domain Expansion.

    During the height of jujutsu in the Heian Era, Sadatsuna Ashiya created the "domain for the weak" in order to protect his followers from evil curses and curse users. Binding vows were established that forbid teaching Simple Domain to outsiders, but other sorcerers saw the technique in action and were able to copy it for themselves, something the bindings did not account for.

    Created as a counter for domain expansions, Simple Domain neutralizes a domain's guaranteed-hit function by affecting its barrier and not the imbued cursed technique. However, against a proper domain expansion, Simple Domain can only hope to buy its user time. Powerful domains can destroy simple domains within seconds.

    Simple Domains can be customized with different rules and binding vows to affect those within it, both caster and target.

    Simple Domain can also be used offensively. There are also several swordsmanship techniques within the New Shadow Style that operate around countering anyone who enters the range of the user's Simple Domain.

    Simple Domain was originally meant to be passed down through Sadatsuna Ashiya's school of thought and was forbidden to spread to outsiders. However, in the modern age, several sorcerers with no relation possess the ability to use Simple Domain. Kasumi Miwa was taught by her mentor in Junior High and Aoi Todo, who doesn't come from a sorcerer family, learned from Yuki Tsukumo.

    Simple Domain's inventor Sadatsuna Ashiya created a binding vow that restricted its usage to the school's disciples to prevent curse users from learning it.

    A particularly troublesome part of the binding vow, more akin to a curse, supposedly allows the head to absorb the lifespans of the disciples. However, this can't be confirmed since no one knows who the head is, or how the contract is fulfilled since some disciples were able to live long lives. Even if the head were to die and the senior disciple inherits the position, their identity will remain unknown. Kusakabe explains that only the head of New Shadow Style can undo the binding vows before revealing that he is the current head and has already undone them, this is because Mei Mei had found and killed the previous head.

43. #43Secret Art: Falling Blossom Emotionselective

    Keys: Secret Art: Falling Blossom Emotion

    A secret domain countermeasure passed down in the Big Three Sorcerer Families. Rather than expanding a domain, Falling Blossom Emotion counterattacks with cursed energy the moment a domain's can't-miss attack makes contact.

44. #44Domain Amplificationselective

    Keys: Domain Amplification

    Envelops the user's body in a thin veil of their domain and automatically nullifies any cursed technique it comes into contact with. A caster cannot use domain amplification and their innate technique at the same time.

45. #45Shikigami Jutsuselective

    Keys: Shikigami Jutsu

    Shikigami Jutsu conjures shikigami to aid the user using a variety of methods. Simple shikigami can be summoned by any capable sorcerer, but some innate techniques revolve around a summoning shikigami as well, such is the case with Moon Dregs.

46. #46Cursed Spiritselective

    Keys: Cursed Spirit, Evil Spirit, Ghost

    Cursed Spirits, are a race of spiritual beings invisible to humans, incarnated from the cursed energy that leaks out of humans over time due to their negative emotions. Cursed spirits haunt and bring harm to humanity and are consequently the primary targets of jujutsu sorcerers and their exorcist work.

47. #47Cursed Spirit Creationselective

    Keys: Cursed Spirit · Secondary: Creation, Birth, Formation

    Curses are created when cursed energy leaks from (non-sorcerer) humans as a result of their harboring of negative emotions. Cursed energy thus gathers in one spot, bulding up like sediment until a cursed spirit takes form.

    Populated locations such as schools and hospitals are hotspots for bearing curses because many negative emotions are associated with memories of those places. This same concept applies humanity's collective fear and hatred. An image of fear shared by the masses can create a powerful curse even if the subject is not real, such as famous monsters or ghosts. It is the negative emotions that humanity directed at this image that causes it to manifest as a curse.

    Longstanding negative feelings, such as humanity's collective relationship with plagues and natural disasters, results in a collection of cursed energy so massive the cursed spirits manifested from them have a consciousness related to those feelings. For example, humanity's fear and treatment of forests has directly resulted in Hanami, a very intelligent special grade cursed spirit who wants to free the earth of its humans in order to protect the forests and trees from them. Mahito is an exceptionally strong and intelligent curse that challenges the concept of the human soul itself because he was born from the hatred humans feel toward one another.

48. #48Cursed Spirit Biologyselective

    Keys: Cursed Spirit · Secondary: Trait, Biology, Physiology

    Cursed spirits bodies are entirely made up of cursed energy. Their metaphysical existence makes it impossible for non-sorcerers to perceive or touch them. Living humans who have been cursed can only tell they have strange symptoms without realizing a cursed spirit behind it. Non-sorcerers whose lives are put in danger by a curse may gain the ability to see it in that life or death situation.

    Curses come in all kinds of grotesque shapes and sizes. They tend to linger around their point of origin and instinctively curse humans. Other than that, a curse's habits vary a great deal from spirit to spirit. Curses are most stable while possessing an item, and some curses can possess inanimate objects to become cursed corpses.

49. #49Vengeful Spiritselective

    Keys: Vengeful Spirit, Vengeful Cursed Spirit

    Vengeful Cursed Spirit are cursed spirits created when humans become a curse after death. Those whose deaths are cursed have the possibility of having their spirit corrupted and transformed into a vengeful spirit. Sorcerers have an increased chance of turning into a curse after death, but this can be prevented by killing them with jujutsu. Rika Orimoto was transformed into a vengeful curse after Yuta Okkotsu couldn't accept her death and cursed it on accident. Yuta's ancestor, Michizane Sugawara, became one of the Big Three Vengeful Spirits, ancestors of the Big Three Sorcerer Families.

50. #50Special Grade Cursed Spiritselective

    Keys: Cursed Spirit, Curse, Spirit, Monster · Secondary: Special Grade

    Special grade cursed spirits with high intelligence tend to be bipedal creatures with shapes comparable to humans. They are capable of holding a normal conversation and working together as an organized group. Special grade curse spirits, all of whom possess great levels of cursed energy, can manipulate their cursed energy much more naturally than a sorcerer. Unlike sorcerers, strong curses can reinforce their bodies to heal wounds without using a reverse cursed technique. Finger Bearers, special grade curses born from Sukuna's fingers, can release their cursed energy with explosive force and utilize it as a weapon. Sukuna, a far more intelligent special grade, believes this to be an obsolete form of jujutsu compared to his cursed techniques, including Domain Expansion.
