JJK Tokyo Night Raid

A government-created squad formed from sorcerers who were too powerful to execute, too dangerous to release, and too valuable to waste. Each has a binding vow placed on them — if they run or break mission orders, their own cursed energy will crush their heart. They operate under constant surveillance, hated by other sorcerers, and feared more than the curses they fight. Tokyo: The Cursed Metropolis Tokyo, once a sprawling, bustling metropolis, now resembles a city caught between reality and nightmare. Skyscrapers pierce the grey, smog-filled sky, many scarred by deep gashes and crumbling façades from centuries—or perhaps decades—of continuous cursed activity. The streets, once vibrant with the glow of neon and the hum of traffic, are eerily silent except for the occasional shriek of a stray cursed spirit or the echo of falling debris. The air itself feels heavy, charged with raw cursed energy that makes the hair on your arms stand on end. Every shadow seems too dark, stretching unnaturally across cracked sidewalks and abandoned cars. The smell of ozone and scorched concrete lingers constantly, evidence of countless purifications and battles that have left the city scarred but still alive. ⸻ Cursed Spirit Infestation The cursed spirits that overrun Tokyo vary wildly, from small, writhing apparitions lurking in alleyways to colossal, towering entities that tower over buildings. Many are mutated, enhanced by lingering cursed energy, twisted forms that appear to have been warped by years of concentrated malevolence. • Street Level: Shadows twitch like living things, and faint whispers ride the wind, disorienting anyone who ventures outside. Smaller cursed spirits skitter through alleys, sewers, and abandoned subway tunnels, stalking stray survivors or lost sorcerers. • High-Rise Zones: Gigantic cursed entities patrol the upper streets, their forms partially fused with crumbling buildings, giving the impression that the city itself is alive and hostile. Bridges creak ominously, and elevators hang suspended, half-ripped from their cables, as spirits claim entire skyscrapers as nests. • The Skyline: Dark storms swirl overhead unnaturally, a constant visual manifestation of concentrated negative energy, pulsing in rhythm with the curses’ agitation below. Lightning sometimes arcs unnaturally toward cursed hotspots, feeding the spirits’ strength. ⸻ City Atmosphere & Environment • Quarantine-Like Zones: Certain districts are completely abandoned, walled off with cursed seals to contain the densest infestations. Any civilians entering without protection risk being devoured or possessed instantly. • Cursed Ruins: Where normal life used to flourish, twisted remnants of businesses and homes now form labyrinths of rubble and spectral traps. Shops are gutted and skeletal cars line the streets, their shadows alive with crawling cursed energy. • Psychological Weight: Even experienced sorcerers feel an oppressive pressure here. Every movement is dangerous; every step could trigger a cursed spirit ambush. The city itself seems aware of intruders, shifting subtly as if it were a single living organism protecting its own darkness. ⸻ Why Tokyo Fell The initial waves of curses were small, but decades of concentrated negative human energy, combined with unchecked exorcisms and the rise of cursed spirits, created an unstable cursed ecosystem. The strongest cursed spirits dominate zones like predator kings, while smaller ones swarm around them like scavengers, creating a layered hierarchy of terror. The result: Tokyo is no longer just a city; it is a living, breathing cursed battleground. Any sorcerer entering its limits knows two things instantly:

1. Survival depends on skill, luck, and constant vigilance.
2. No mission can ever go perfectly — chaos reigns, and only those willing to tear through it will accomplish anything. Team name B.A.S.T.A.R.D.S — “Black Assignment Special Taskforce: Anomalous Rogue Division Squad” Official Team Name: B.A.S.T.A.R.D.S — pronounced “Bastards” Team Motto / Reputation: “Messy. Deadly. Inevitably Successful.” They’re the jujutsu world’s ultimate “problem solvers” (they are usually sent on very dangerous missions) : ex-con sorcerers, Special Grade, highly dangerous, and completely unpredictable. They rarely follow standard procedure, destroy parts of the battlefield, and terrify both enemies and allies alike—but somehow, against all odds, they always get the mission done. They are hated by most official sorcerers and law enforcement, but their results are undeniable ⸻
3. Kurogane Gai — “The Iron Verdict” Age 34 Former Crime: Mass vigilante murder of sorcerers and politicians he deemed corrupt. Personality: carefree, reckless, haves fun even while in danger, loved alcohol and smoking, usual always on something in battles, everyone loves the old bastard Appearance: Muscular, tall, covered in old restraint tattoos suppressing his CE. Eyes silver like polished metal. Cursed Technique: “Iron Will Manipulation” (鉄意の術式) Gai can manifest metal constructs created from his own willpower, shaping weapons, armor, restraints, and even environmental shifts. The more determined he is, the denser the metal becomes. He once leveled an entire building by “deciding” it no longer needed to stand. Notable Abilities • Willforge Armory – Instantly forms a weapon that grows stronger with his conviction. • Unbreakable Resolve – His body hardens like forged steel when he focuses. • Soul Anvil – Crippled sorcerers report hearing hammering in their minds before collapsing. Domain Expansion: “Hall of Final Judgment” Targets are forced into an infinite steel courtroom where all weapons, lies, and cursed techniques are pinned down by crushing pressure. Gai becomes executioner, judge, and jury. Why He Was Jailed He took “cleaning corruption” too literally — he murdered 42 high-ranking members of jujutsu society. 🔥 SPECIAL GRADE EX-CON #2 Ranshi Kaito — “The Charged Jester” Age 25 (Gambit-inspired) Former Crime: High-profile bombings, sorcerer blackmail, and illegal CE weapon dealing. Kaito wasn’t a terrorist out of ideology — he just liked watching things blow up. Personality: Chaotic, charming, flirty, always joking even in lethal situations. He has that— cocky grin, devil-may-care swagger, annoying confidence. Appearance: Lean, athletic build. Messy violet hair. Long brown coat reinforced with CE padding. Fingerless gloves with reinforced knuckles. His eyes glow pink when his CE surges. ⸻ Cursed Technique: “Impact Infusion” (衝動付与) Kaito can charge any object he touches with explosive cursed energy, turning it into a kinetic bomb. The object detonates on impact or on his command. The lighter and smaller the object → the faster it accelerates The heavier the object → the harder the explosion hits Signature Abilities • Card Cyclone He throws playing cards imbued with CE, turning them into razor-fast explosive projectiles. • Rumbling Touch He slaps or taps an object (pipes, walls, vehicles), loading massive CE inside it. The next hit causes a building-level burst. • Velocity Break He charges his own legs or fists, causing shockwave impacts with his movements. • Overload Gambit He absorbs incoming CE attacks and overcharges them, throwing back a much stronger explosion. ⸻ Domain Expansion: “Red Joker’s Roulette” A circular casino-like domain with floating decks of cursed cards. Inside: • Every object gains combustible CE • Kaito’s thrown weapons never miss • The environment randomly explodes or shifts • Opponents constantly risk stepping on invisible charged tiles A battlefield where luck is a death sentence
4. Ayase Shiranui — “The Infinite Spiral” Special Grade / Ex-Convict Sorcerer Age 28 Appearance A pale, wiry woman in her late 20s with long, jet-black hair tied in a loose braid. She has spiral-patterned irises that subtly spin when she activates her technique. Her fingernails are cracked and ridged from years of overusing rotational cursed energy. Her presence feels like the air is constantly twisting around her. ⸻ Cursed Technique: Eternal Gyre (無尽の渦) A Jujutsu interpretation of Tusk Act 4’s Infinite Rotation A technique based on producing cursed energy that rotates infinitely without friction, decay, or loss. Once something is set into motion by her cursed energy, it never stops spinning, and its rotational speed multiplies continuously. Core Properties (JJK Style)
5. Infinite Spin Curse Anything she marks with her cursed energy begins rotating endlessly — not physically spinning, but energetically spinning on a metaphysical axis. Effects include: • shredding matter • bypassing physical durability • bypassing cursed technique durability • destabilizing barriers and domains • grinding through regenerative techniques • ignoring distance and pursuing targets If you’re marked, the spin never stops unless she willingly dispels it. ⸻
6. Infinite Homing Pursuit Any projectile infused with Infinite Spin gains: • perfect tracking • the ability to turn sharp angles or curve mid-air • the ability to phase through obstacles by vibrating its cursed energy Once she chooses a target, the projectile will eventually hit — hours, days, or even weeks later. Targets describe it as “fate being twisted toward the impact.” ⸻
7. Dimensional Bypass • slips through barriers and domains • ignores spatial seals • bypasses simple domain conditions • erodes the concept of “distance” between her and the target The more the target resists, the faster the cursed spin escalates. ⸻
8. Spiral Bullets Ayase flicks small objects — marbles, coins, nails, stone fragments — and infuses them with infinite rotation. They function as: • long-range snipers • homing missiles • barrier-breakers • anti-technique disruptors A single Spiral Bullet can drill through a mountain over several hours. ⸻
9. Gyre-Bound (Binding Mark) By touching a target with her fingertip, Ayase engraves a spiral sigil on them. Anyone marked: • gradually accumulates infinite spin internally • is constantly pursued by any projectile she launches • has their cursed energy flow destabilized • becomes unable to maintain their own techniques It’s like being caught inside a slow, unending blender. ⸻ **Domain Expansion: “World Without Friction — Eternal Maw” (摩擦なき世界・永久の顎) Inside the domain: • all matter begins to rotate infinitely • friction, resistance, and barriers cease to exist • targets’ bodies begin spinning at a molecular level • projectiles move at impossible paths and speeds • her homing becomes perfect Everything inside the domain is dragged toward Ayase like a whirlpool in reality itself. It is considered one of the most dangerous lethal domains ever recorded. ⸻ Personality • Quiet • Detached • Barely shows emotion • Unsettling and monotone • Has difficulty understanding why people fear her • Shows mild amusement at spinning objects or long-lasting motion She treats violence as a physics experiment. ⸻ Criminal Record Ayase used her infinite spin technique in a moment of rage, causing an entire section of a city to collapse after a projectile kept drilling underground for four days straight. She didn’t intend mass casualties — she simply forgot to stop the spin. Because she is unable to feel danger the way normal people do, she received life imprisonment… unless she serves on the B.A.S.T.A.R.D.S Ex-Con Task Force. ⸻ Role on the Team • Long-range destroyer • Barrier/Domain breaker • High-value target assassin • Anti-special-grade support • Battles amplify when paired with Gai (raw power + infinite spin force multipliers) • Counters regenerative curses and defensive sorcerers easily
10. Illyana Rasputin — “Magik” Age 20 Special Grade / Ex-Convict Sorcerer (Russian, former criminal turned task force member) ⸻ Appearance • Russian, early 20s, platinum-blonde hair with streaks of shadow-black when using cursed techniques • Pale skin, piercing blue eyes • Usually wears a long dark coat reinforced with cursed seals and a leather harness for her cursed sword • Her “Darkchild” form manifests as black, jagged markings across her body, her eyes glowing crimson and shadows flickering from her form ⸻ Cursed Weapon: Soul Sword • Her cursed energy manifests as a jagged, black-and-purple sword • Cuts both physically and spiritually — can sever CE from targets • The sword’s strength grows based on the intensity of her cursed energy and her emotional state • Can also act as a tether to manipulate her Darkchild form ⸻ Cursed Technique: “Limbo Step” (地獄歩法) • Allows her to open rifts to hellish landscape dimension called Limbo which she is the ruler of the demons there for: • Teleportation across short or long distances • Storing and summoning weapons or cursed objects • Phasing partially into limbo to avoid attacks • The longer she stays in Limbo or the more objects she brings through, the darker and more monstrous her Darkchild form grows ⸻ Darkchild Form • A partial cursed transformation that manifests when she channels extreme cursed energy: • Eyes glow crimson • Shadowed markings appear across her body • Cursed energy spikes from her sword and body • In this form, her speed, strength, and destructive power are significantly amplified • Can unleash a devastating area attack: “Hellstorm Strike” — a slash that sends a wave of dark CE in a radius, shredding barriers and cursed techniques ⸻ Notable Abilities
11. Soul Sever — The sword can cut through cursed techniques, barriers, and physical matter with precision.
12. Limbo Rift — Opens small portals to Limbo to displace attacks or enemies.
13. Darkchild Burst — Temporarily fully manifests her Darkchild form, increasing destructive output at the cost of stamina and self-control.
14. Limbo Trap — Can pull enemies partially into Limbo, slowing or immobilizing them for a short duration. ⸻ Domain Expansion: “Hellgate of the Shadow Sovereign” • Her domain is a twisted shadowed dimension resembling a crumbling fortress of jagged black spires • Any attack inside the domain is warped unpredictably by shadow energy • Enemies caught inside are slowed and weakened as the environment constantly presses toward her • She can summon multiple Limbo rifts and project her sword’s attacks from impossible angles ⸻ Personality • Cool, confident, sometimes sarcastic • Detached, but loyal to teammates she trusts • Dark sense of humor, enjoys intimidating enemies • Her Russian heritage shows in speech patterns, occasional idioms, and emotional restraint ⸻ Criminal Record • Was imprisoned for using her cursed technique to annihilate a group of rogue sorcerers in a single night • Her Darkchild form caused massive collateral damage and made her uncontrollable for authorities • She now serves in the B.A.S.T.A.R.D.S Task Force to reduce her sentence, though she is still considered extremely dangerous ⸻ Role on the Team • Teleportation and battlefield manipulation • Long-range CE cuts with Soul Sword • Crowd control via Limbo Step and Darkchild attacks • Combines perfectly with Kaito (projectiles) and Gai (brute force) for synergy • Adds a mystical/demonic edge to the team dynamic History Jujutsu sorcerers have existed for thousands of years. It is currently unknown for exactly how long humans have been able to use jujutsu. Over a thousand years ago, Sukuna was a human sorcerer who, after eventually dying, split himself into cursed objects and reincarnated through Yuji Itadori.[1][2][3] The King of Curses claims jujutsu sorcerers have been an issue in every era.[4] As a result of the ongoing conflict between sorcerers and curses that has spanned thousands of years, a society of sorcerers have organized themselves to work in the shadows to suppress curses in an effort to protect humanity. In the modern era, the Big Three Sorcerer Families and the jujutsu higher-ups control the landscape of the jujutsu community. Biology The primary difference in basic human biology between a normal human and a sorcerer is their brain. The connection between the brain and cursed energy is mostly unknown, even to seasoned medical professionals in the jujutsu community. Sorcerers have brains that differ from non-sorcerers which allows for their capacity to use jujutsu. Only Idle Transfiguration can adjust the brain stem in such a way that those who were meant to be non-sorcerers can gain cursed techniques.[5][6][7] If the opposite is enacted and a sorcerer's brain is adjusted to remove their cursed technique, they would die as a result.[8] Profession Investigation of the deformation deaths (Anime) A team of sorcerers working together to investigate curse related deaths. The bare minimum for any person to be considered a sorcerer is the ability to see cursed spirits.[9] To be a jujutsu sorcerer as a profession, one generally possesses high levels of cursed energy and is born with the innate talent to use cursed techniques. This normally composes over eighty percent of a jujutsu sorcerer's skillset.[10] Grades (Anime) The jujutsu grades. There is a ranking system in place for all jujutsu users and related items that scales them from Grade 4 to Special Grade. A jujutsu sorcerer's grade will correspond with the level of difficulty assigned to the associated curse on any mission they're assigned.[30] Professional jujutsu sorcerers earn more money as they grow in rank[31], which can be achieved with a recommendation for a higher ranking sorcerer and approval from one of the higher-ups.[32] ADVERTISEMENT Abilities and Powers Main Article: Jujutsu Megumi exorcises the Finger Bearer (Anime) Megumi exorcising a cursed spirit with his cursed technique. Most jujutsu sorcerers combat curses directly and exorcise them with jujutsu. A sorcerer armed with a cursed tool or close combat skills reinforced with cursed energy manipulation can achieve the same goal as well. There are as many ways to exorcise cursed spirits are there are jujutsu sorcerers.[33] Shikigami users, cursed tool users, and cursed speech users are just three of many different possible examples for jujutsu sorcerer combatant types. Non-combatants can be valued sorcerers as well with their supportive abilities. Jujutsu High managers are capable of casting Curtains and Windows are utilized solely for their ability to see curses and notify others.[34][35] Shoko Ieiri is also a valued sorcerer because of her talent as a doctor coupled with her ability to heal sorcerers with reverse cursed technique.[36] Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School (東とう京きょう都と立りつ呪じゅ術じゅつ高こう等とう専せん門もん学がっ校こう, Tōkyō Toritsu Jujutsu Kōtō Senmon Gakkō?, lit. "Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College"), commonly referred to as Tokyo Jujutsu High, is the sister school of Kyoto Jujutsu High. It is one of only two jujutsu educational institutions in Japan dedicated to fostering the next generation of jujutsu sorcerers. Cursed Energy (呪じゅ力りょく, Juryoku?) is a form of spiritual energy that leaks from humans as a result of their negative emotions, makes up the bodies of cursed spirits, and is utilized by sorcerers and cursed spirits alike to fuel their jujutsu. Cursed energy is called Rolloluca (ロロルカ, Rororuka?) by the Simurians, an alien species from the planet Simuria.[1] Description Cursed Energy compiling to form a curse (Anime) Cursed energy compiling to form curses in populated areas associated with stress. Negative emotions such as fear, grief, anger, hatred, and envy 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 are very rare among the human race. Cursed energy leaks from the human body, accumulates, and ferments over time until a cursed spirit manifests.[2] This is only the case with non-sorcerers, as sorcerers are trained to control and channel their cursed energy into jujutsu. Cursed energy is the primary power source for any sorcerer or cursed spirit; sorcerers voluntarily produce said energy akin to the generation of electricity, and since negative emotions are the trigger, sorcerers train to create cursed energy from the slightest spark of emotion.[3] 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. The aggregate amount of an individual's cursed energy isn't determined by how many negative emotions they possess but by their innate talent for jujutsu. For example, Yuta Okkotsu possesses an immense amount of cursed energy due to his genetic relation to Michizane Sugawara. On Simuria, cursed energy is known as rolloluca and originates from a Simurian’s third eye.[1] This energy is widely used by warriors, the Simurian equivalent of jujutsu sorcerers. Within the Rumelian tribe, only male Simurians are capable of wielding rolloluca and becoming warriors, limiting women to roles similar to windows on Earth. The Rumelians believe their jujutsu was bestowed upon their ancestors by the Kalyans, creatures sent by their gods. Their culture teaches that men are granted rolloluca because they cannot bear children, and thus must use it to protect women and children. Outside of the Rumelian tribe, however, there exist female warriors, such as those from the Deskunte tribe.[4] Also present on Simuria is an ore called mul (ムル, Muru?), which is capable of converting rolloluca into other forms of energy.[5] This mineral was used to construct and power the spaceship Naunax, which the Rumelians used to flee their home planet.[6][7] Cursed Energy Detection Toge notices strong cursed energy (Anime) Toge taken by surprise when he notices powerful cursed energy. Cursed Energy Perception (呪じゅ力りょく感かん知ち, Juryoku Kanchi?)[8] refers to the ability of humans with above-average levels of cursed energy to sense, and especially 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.[9] Yuta's presence strickens Yuji, Choso, and Naoya Yuji, Choso, and Naoya frightened by Yuta's ominous cursed energy. The strength of a sorcerer or curse is generally assessed by their levels of cursed energy. Strong cursed energy can result in physical pressure that instills fear into those who sense it as a method of intimidation. The same concept can be applied to a jujutsu battle where reading an opponent's cursed energy is an effective way to predict their movements. Prediction based on cursed energy can backfire when faced with a fighter in cases where their physical prowess outclasses their cursed energy. Physically fast and strong fighters with low cursed energy are often unpredictable to enemy sorcerers.[10] Sorcerers can also notice small, vague differences in cursed energy in addition to its overall amount. Suguru Geto, a curse manipulator who must consume curses, has slightly altered cursed energy.[11] The Inverted Spear of Heaven possesses foreign cursed energy that can cancel out jujutsu.[12] Yuji Itadori, Choso, and Naoya Zenin, could sense Yuta's presence without even physically locating him. Yuji mistook him for Satoru Gojo, the world's strongest sorcerer, simply because of Yuta's overwhelming volume of cursed energy, before realizing it was far more ominous than their sensei's.[13] Observing how cursed energy fluctuates as someone fights is an effective way of judging someone's overall cursed energy. Reggie Star noticed the massive shift in cursed energy output when Fumihiko Takaba suddenly attacked Iori Hazenoki.[14] Ryu Ishigori saw Yuta participate in a small scuffle and could immediately tell that his cursed energy was immeasurable. Ryu could feel as Yuta's cursed energy depleted,[15] and when Yuta connected with Rika's full manifestation, Ryu could also sense his adversary's cursed energy filling back up as well.[16] Residuals (Anime) Residuals left by Mahito at the cinema. Using jujutsu leaves Residuals (残ざん穢え, Zan'e?) of cursed energy behind. Residuals leave spectral footprints that can be used to track the user.[17] 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. Cursed Energy Manipulation Controlling Cursed Energy Cursed Energy Manipulation (呪じゅ力りょく操そう作さ, Juryoku Sōsa?)[18] — the ability to control the flow of one's cursed energy and channel it to carry out certain functions — is the foundation for all jujutsu and the first step towards becoming a jujutsu sorcerer. 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.[19] Cursed Techniques (術じゅつ式しき, Jutsushiki?) are abilities fueled by cursed energy.[1] Different types include innate techniques, barrier techniques, shikigami, new shadow style, and more. Technique Activation A cursed technique is activated through the act of pouring cursed energy into it, utilizing one of two processes; Lapse or Reversal.[1] If cursed energy is comparable to electricity, cursed techniques are the appliances that use that power to function.[3] Cursed energy is processed through a procedure akin to a mathematic formula within the user to activate a cursed technique.[2] Subtraction To excel at jujutsu is to excel at subtraction. Cursed techniques often require hand signs (掌しゅぅ印いん, Shōin?), empowered words (呪じゅ詞し, Jushi?), 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.[5] Innate Techniques Innate Techniques (生しょう得とく術じゅつ式しき, Shōtoku Jutsushiki?) are unique abilities congenitally engraved into the user's body, specifically in the right prefrontal cortex of the brain.[6] 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.[7] Innate techniques are proprietary and comprise eighty percent of a sorcerer's intrinsic skillset, making them nearly impossible to mimic, like a copyrighted computer program.[8] When an individual refers to their own personal cursed technique, they are generally talking about their innate technique.[9][2] In almost all cases, an individual possesses only a single innate technique. In especially rare cases, someone may possess more than one. Cursed Spirits (呪じゅ霊れい, Jurei?), or simply Curses (呪のろい, Noroi?), 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. History The origin of curses and jujutsu is largely unknown. However, it can be surmised that because cursed energy comes from negative emotion, curses have always existed alongside humanity. During the Heian Era, the golden age of jujutsu, the sorcerer Ryomen Sukuna was recognized as the undisputed King of Curses. His influence has lived on to greatly affect the current age. Description Creation Process 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, building up like sediment until a cursed spirit takes form.[1][2] Characteristics Bakery girl cursed (Anime) A young woman unknowingly cursed by a Fly Head. 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 non-sorcerers who have been cursed can only tell they have strange symptoms without realizing a cursed spirit is behind it; however, it is possible to gain the ability to see a curse in a life-or-death situation due to the overwhelming negative emotion the person experiences and consequently high cursed energy they emit.[8] Curses born from natural disasters (Anime) Curses created from humanity's collective fear of natural disasters. Curses come in all kinds of grotesque shapes and sizes. They tend to linger around their point of origin and instinctively curse humans.[9] Other than that, a curse's habits vary a great deal from spirit to spirit. Curses are most stable while possessing an item,[10] and some curses can possess inanimate objects to become cursed corpses.[11] Special grade cursed spirits with high intelligence tend to be bipedal creatures with structure comparable to humans. They are capable of holding a normal conversation and working together as an organized group. It must be noted, however, that intelligence is not exclusive to special grade cursed spirits; even a curse as low as Grade 3 or 4 can possess intelligence.[12][13][14] Certain curses, such as shikigami, obey humans after they're forced into submission by their master.[15] Others have the ability to mark a human and haunt them, making them capable of attacking a human even if they're located away from their point of origin.[16] Exorcism Finger Bearer after being exorcised by Megumi (Anime) A curse disappearing after being exorcised by a sorcerer's shikigami. With bodies composed of cursed energy, cursed spirits cannot be harmed by conventional means. They can be hit by a physical attack but it will deal no damage regardless of how powerful it is. The general rule of jujutsu is that a curse must be exorcised using another curse, which means curses can only be exorcised using cursed energy.[18] A fatal attack using cursed energy will cause the cursed spirit to disappear completely. This does not apply to curses who have been incarnated using a flesh and blood human vessel, such as the Cursed Womb: Death Paintings.[19] Curses that are too powerful to be destroyed must be sealed away using a constraint. Sukuna has continued to exist as twenty fingers classified as special grade cursed objects that can still attract cursed spirits and choose its own vessel. Sukuna's fingers had to be individually sealed with talisman to inhibit the damage they cause.[20] Classifications Rika becomes cursed (Anime) A cursed spirit forming after a human who has been cursed died. Vengeful Cursed Spirit (過か呪じゅ怨霊おんりょう, Kaju Onryō?): A cursed spirit 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. Imaginary Vengeful Cursed Spirit (仮想かそう呪じゅ怨霊おんりょう, Kasō-ju Onryō?): A cursed spirit manifested from the cumulative fear of the masses. When many people share an image of fear, such as famous yokai or ghost stories like the Nine Tailed Fox, an Imaginary Vengeful Spirit can form. They are widely feared by sorcerers and classified as such to distinguish them from other curses. Disease Cursed Spirit (疾しっ病ぺい呪じゅ霊れい, Shippei Jurei?): Plague and general sickness are concepts constantly cursed by humanity, resulting in powerful disease curses.[28] These type of cursed spirits can use cursed techniques to infect humans with their respective diseases to curse and kill them. Powers and Abilities Curse appears above Yuji (Anime) A weaker curse attempting to surprise attack Yuji. As jujutsu is essentially the manipulation of the energy which curses embody, it's only natural for them to be able to use it. Like sorcerers, they are capable of using a multitude of curse-related abilities, most of which are cursed techniques unique to the specific curse. Weaker spirits use their presence to curse humans or attack them with their metaphysical features (i.e. teeth, claws). They often act on animalistic instinct to attack in packs but can be frightened by superior cursed energy. Phasing through solid surfaces is an ability that can only be used by low-grade cursed spirits.[30] Kuchisake-Onna Simple Domain (Anime) An Imaginary Vengeful Spirit using advanced jujutsu. The more powerful curses possess immense levels of cursed energy and uncanny cursed techniques. In some cases, special grade cursed spirits can even produce their own domains. In the current age, curses far outweigh sorcerers in terms of strength. There are over sixteen different special grade curse spirits and only four special grade sorcerers,[31] two of whom aren't even committed to fighting curses. If it were not for Satoru Gojo, it is likely curses would completely overtake humanity, at least in Japan.[32] 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; this is again owed to curses’ curse energy-based bodies, which require only cursed energy to heal wounds rather than positive energy from a reverse cursed technique. In fact, reverse cursed technique is fatal to most curses; positive energy can completely compromise the cursed energy that makes up curses’ bodies and destroy them from the inside out, even in the case of a special grade curse.[33] Finger Bearers, special grade curses born from Sukuna's fingers, can release their cursed energy with explosive force and utilize it as a weapon in the form of explosions, spears of energy, blasts and much more. Sukuna believes this to be an obsolete form of jujutsu compared to his cursed techniques, including Domain Expansion. [34] Domain Expansion (領りょう域いき展てん開かい, Ryōiki Tenkai?) is an advanced barrier technique and is considered the pinnacle of jujutsu sorcery. It manifests the user's innate domain into reality inside a barrier infused with their innate cursed technique. Within a domain expansion, the user's cursed techniques are improved and any that are activated are guaranteed to hit.[1] Description Domain Expansion is the most supreme technique of any jujutsu user. It is achieved by expanding one's innate domain with cursed energy while using a barrier to construct it inside a separate space. The caster then imbues their cursed technique within the barrier to complete the expansion, allowing them to deploy their innate ability throughout the entire domain.[2] A specific hand sign or signal unique to the user is required to expand someone's respective domain.[3][4] From the outside, an ordinary domain barrier is enclosed, making it appear as a floating black sphere that can even be moved if needed.[5][6] Lethal Domains 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 even bypass Satoru Gojo's Infinity.[7] 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.[8] Non-Lethal Domains Old Domain Expansions Early domains merely enforced the rules of its cursed technique. 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.[12] Incomplete Domains Innate domains that are expanded using only cursed energy without an embedded cursed technique are incomplete even if they include a barrier.[13][14] 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.[15] Barriers forcibly enclosed using the shape of an outside environment also do not incorporate can't-miss attacks.[16] Drawbacks Takako Uro's technique burns out Cursed techniques become unstable and burn out after domain expansion. A high-risk, high-reward maneuver, domain expansion provides a great advantage at the cost of an immense amount of cursed energy.
