RYOMEN SUKUNA

1. #1Innate Cursed Technique

   Keys: Sukuna's Technique, Sukuna's Inmate Technique Shrine, Dismantle&Cleave · Secondary:

   Shrine (御み廚づ子し, Mizushi?) is Sukuna's innate technique that allows him to unleash invisible slashes, either at range or through physical contact, to cut down his enemies. It also empowers him to unleash an arrow of hellfire under certain conditions.

2. #2Dismantle

   Keys: Dismantle

   Dismantle (解カイ, Kai?) is the user's default slashing attack that can be launched point-blank or at range, and can be used against inanimate objects, cursed spirits, and sorcerers to great effectiveness. To fire Dismantle, the user typically makes a hand gesture at his target, usually pointing, though he can omit this motion. An invisible slash then flies towards the target at great speeds, cutting them.

   Dismantle's slicing power depends on the cursed energy outputted into the technique. With less than ten percent of his output, a barrage of Sukuna's Dismantle only left bloody gashes on Yuji Itadori's body. At its highest, it was able to cut a skyscraper in half with one slash. Unless a sorcerer bolsters their durability with cursed energy reinforcement or weakens the slashes with Simple Domain or Domain Amplification, Dismantle could easily cut them apart.

   However, there are cases where Dismantle can be perceived, avoided or even deflected. For example, Mahoraga was able to "see" and even deflect a slash after being struck by Dismantle and adapting to it. In another scenario, Maki Zenin, a human with zero cursed energy and instead with enhanced senses, was able to perceive an incoming Dismantle and dodge it, much like the shikigami.

3. #3World Cutting Slash

   Keys: World Cutting Slash, World Cutting Dismantle, Slash that cuts the world

   Using Mahoraga's second adaptation to Limitless as a model, Sukuna learned to enhance Dismantle by broadening its target area to include space, existence, and the world themselves, transforming the regular slashes into "slashes that cut the world" (世せ界かいを断たつ斬ざん撃げき, Sekai o Tatsu Zangeki?). Using this enhanced version of Dismantle, Sukuna was able to bypass Satoru Gojo's Infinity, an otherwise impenetrable barrier that slowed all things it touched to a stop, and finally kill the jujutsu sorcerer by slicing him in half.

   When he originally learned it, Sukuna only needed to form the hand sign of Enma (閻えん魔ま天てん, Enmaten?) to unleash the slash, the same two-handed sign needed to cast Malevolent Shrine. However, Sukuna was unable to fulfill this condition after losing a hand to Gojo's Hollow Technique: Purple (prior to returning to his original, four-armed form). In order to bypass the initial activation condition and unleash the slash that cut Gojo in half, Sukuna imposed a binding vow on himself that would require him to fulfill not one but three conditions for all subsequent world-cutting slashes: (1) to make the necessary hand sign, (2) to recite Dismantle's incantation, (3) to direct the slash's trajectory with his palm/fingers

   The incantation for activating this technique is "Dragon Scales." "Repulsion." "Paired Falling Stars." (〝龍りゅう鱗りん〟〝反はん発ぱつ〟〝番つがいの流りゅう星せい〟, "Ryūrin" "Hanpatsu" "Tsugai no Ryūsei"?)

4. #4Cleave

   Keys: Cleave

   Cleave (捌ハチ, Hachi?) is the second slashing attack that adjusts its power depending on the target's toughness and cursed energy level to cut them down with one attack. Unless used in their domain expansion, the user must make physical contact with the target in order to activate Cleave.

   Similar to Dismantle, the cutting power of Cleave also depends on the user's cursed energy output. Both Yuta Okkotsu and Yuji Itadori, who gained access to Shrine through their own means, were only able to deal minor injuries to Sukuna when using Cleave, whereas Sukuna's Cleave was able to cut through the cursed energy reinforcement of Ryu Ishigori, a Culling Game player with the highest recorded cursed energy output in history.

5. #5Divine Flames/ Fuga

   Keys: Divine Flames, Fuga

   Divine Flame (竈カミノ, Kamino?, lit. "Hearth/Stove/Furnace") is a cursed technique that can only be used after the user performs Dismantle and Cleave.[18] It allows him to create and manipulate flames for long-range attacks by forming them into the shape of an arrow before launching it.

   To activate this technique, the user verbally utters the technique's name followed by the command "Open" (開フーガ, Fūga?). During Sukuna's initial usage of Divine Flame against Jogo, its name was censored as "■" in the manga and silenced in the anime. The firepower of this arrow completely outclassed a concentrated fire blast from Jogo, a special grade cursed spirit whose defining trait involves extremely destructive pyrokinetic powers, and even burned him to death.

   Despite its power, Divine Flame lacks speed and has a narrow effective range. To mitigate this weakness, Sukuna imposed a binding vow on himself, restricting him from using Divine Flame against multiple targets unless within his domain. As a result of this binding vow, Malevolent Shrine's cursed technique is expanded, imbuing all pulverized matter within it with the same explosive energy as Divine Flame, which Sukuna contains within the range of his domain by expanding a barrier around it and altering its specification to allow entry and exit to only living creatures. This transforms the dust particles into thermobaric explosives that spread throughout the domain, which are detonated after Divine Flame is unleashed, causing instantaneous high temperatures, shock waves, decompression and intense pressurization.

6. #6Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine

   Keys: Domain Expansion, Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine, Malevolent Shrine

   Malevolent Shrine (伏ふく魔ま御み廚づ子し, Fukuma Mizushi?) is Sukuna's domain expansion using Shrine.

   Befitting its name, Malevolent Shrine constructs a disfeatured Buddhist shrine (resembling an oversized zushi, or more vaguely a chinjudō) that has been distorted to instead enshrine demons. Several bovine skulls form the base of the shrine. The hip-and-gable roof has horns emerging from it, two smaller and closed mouths in each gable, and human skulls that hang down from it. The four entrances to the shrine are formed by four large, grotesque mouths, complete with humanlike teeth and tongues. Another smaller mouth is present between the two layers of the roof. Four short, tree-like stumps with gnarled branches stand at each corner of the shrine.

   In its alternate form, Malevolent Shrine takes a much more gruesome, eldritch appearance. It takes the form of a large mass of flesh, horns and teeth with multiple large eyes that stare in different directions. There are also patches of hair-like appendages throughout its body, along with four large curved horns at the top, two giant humanoid hands at the bottom and a spine-like appendage tapering down from the back.

   In its alternate form, Malevolent Shrine takes a much more gruesome, eldritch appearance. It takes the form of a large mass of flesh, horns and teeth with multiple large eyes that stare in different directions. There are also patches of hair-like appendages throughout its body, along with four large curved horns at the top, two giant humanoid hands at the bottom and a spine-like appendage tapering down from the back.

   Malevolent Shrine's guaranteed-hit ability relentlessly slashes apart anything until nothing but dust remains of what has been caught in the effective range, via Sukuna's two types of slashing attacks: Cleave and Dismantle, which only cease when the domain is disengaged or Sukuna is so badly injured he can not sustain the domain anymore. Sukuna can set which of the two attacks to use against specific types of targets, such as using Dismantle for inanimate objects and Cleave for subjects with cursed energy.

   Sukuna has the divine ability to expand his domain without closing the barrier to create a separate space. This creates a binding vow due to allowing an escape route from the domain that enables him to expand the effective range of the guaranteed-hit up to a maximum radius of nearly 200 meters.[5] Furthermore, unlike other domains which operate with an outer shell like Unlimited Void and can be cancelled if the shell is destroyed, Malevolent Shrine cannot be destroyed by any normal means because of the lack of an enclosed barrier. The only way to effectively destroy Malevolent Shrine is to injure Sukuna to the point where he can no longer maintain the domain.

7. #7Reversed Cursed Technique

   Keys: RCT, Reverse Cursed Technique,

   Reverse Cursed Technique (反はん転てん術じゅつ式しき, Hanten Jutsushiki?): Sukuna is highly proficient with reverse cursed technique. While incarnated in Yuji's body, he used his reverse cursed technique to instantly heal any injuries, including even regenerating lost limbs within moments. Regained limbs maintain the same integrity as the rest of Sukuna's body. He can even output positive energy to heal others, something few can do. After learning it from Gojo, Sukuna can also use reverse cursed technique to heal his burned-out cursed technique by destroying the part of his brain that cursed techniques are engraved in and regenerating it, it only can be done for 5 times, and after the 5th time, he cannot use his domain for a long time. As a result of incarnating through Yuji, Sukuna became aware of his soul's shape, allowing him to repair his soul using reverse cursed technique.

8. #8Domain Amplification

   Keys: Domain Amplification, DA

   Domain Amplification (領りょう域いき展てん延えん, Ryō'iki Ten'en?): Envelops Sukuna in his own domain in the form of an aura around himself. Sukuna uses this technique to neutralize Gojo's Limitless technique and thus is capable of physical contact with him. His finesse with domain amplification allows him to keep it active while using his domain expansion, as well as use it in quick intervals to interrupt and resume Mahoraga's adaptation instead of nullifying its effect.

9. #9Hollow Wicker Basket

   Keys: Hollow Wicker Basket, HWB

   Hollow Wicker Basket (彌いや虚こ葛籠つづら, Iyako Tsuzura?): An anti-domain technique that is the predecessor to Simple Domain. It erects a basket-shaped barrier that neutralizes a domain's barrier to nullify its guaranteed-hit factor.

10. #10Binding Vows

    Keys: Binding Vow, Binding Vows

    A Binding Vow (縛しばり, Shibari?) is a pact made with jujutsu that creates conditions for themselves or agreements with others

    Self-imposed restrictions that are potentially harmful to the creator, such as willingly limiting the amount of cursed energy they can use for a period of time, can increase the amount of the user's cursed energy and of their cursed techniques.

    As a product of negative emotions, cursed energy responds to the desires of its individual user. As a result, the user can increase the power of their cursed energy by stating a self-imposed "cursed restriction" that creates riskier conditions to use their abilities. For example, by divulging one's cursed technique, it creates more risk for them, making their cursed energy swell in response to its user's resolve.

    In addition, creating rules for using one's cursed energy and abiding by those rules which allow their cursed technique to improve in strength. The penalty of breaking a binding vow with oneself is the loss of whatever was gained through the contract.

    Examples:

    1-When he originally learned it, Sukuna could launch a "slash that cuts the world" by only having to form the hand sign of Enma (閻えん魔ま天てん, Enmaten?), the same two-handed sign needed to cast Malevolent Shrine. However, Sukuna was unable to fulfill this condition after losing a hand to Gojo's Hollow Purple.[79] In order to bypass the conditions and launch the enhanced Dismantle, Sukuna imposed a binding vow on himself that required him to make the hand sign, chant Dismantle's incantation, and direct the slash's trajectory with his palm for all subsequent uses.

    2-By changing his domain expansion's hand sign and applying cursed techniques and barrier techniques through a part of his brain undamaged by Unlimited Void, then including improvised binding vows with imprecise elements, Sukuna was able to activate Malevolent Shrine without any decrease to its range, difficulty or output for 99 seconds. Sukuna can remove the time limit by shrinking the range of his domain down to the size of a sports ball.

    3-To mitigate Divine Flame's slow speed and narrow range, Sukuna entered into a binding vow that restricted him from using Divine Flame when outnumbered unless inside his domain. In return, Malevolent Shrine's cursed technique is expanded, imbuing all the pulverized substances within it with the same explosive cursed energy as Divine Flame, which he contains within the domain by altering the barrier's specifications to restrict entry and exit for everything other than living creatures. This effectively turns the particles into thermobaric explosives that scatter throughout the domain, which are detonated when Divine Flame is unleashed, causing instantaneous high temperature, shock waves, decompression, and intense pressurization that kills all living things within the domain.

11. #11Anti-Satoru Gojo Techniques

    Keys: The Strongest, Infinity counter, Countering Satoru Gojo, against Satoru Gojo,

    -Sukuna needs to use Domain Amplification constantly so he can keep hand to hand combat. Because of Infinity, of course. Thus, Sukuna cannot use Cleave on Satoru Gojo.

    -Sukuna cannot use Dismantle directly against Satoru Gojo. Because Infinity would simply block it. Thus, using Dismantle against Satoru Gojo would only mean waste of Cursed Energy.

    -Sukuna cannot use normal Flame Arrow against Satoru Gojo even if it's an one on one. Both because Infinity would simply block it, and due to lack of usage of Dismantle&Cleave, he wouldn't be able to meet the conditions of the technique.

    -Sukuna cannot use Flame Arrow against Satoru Gojo even in his Domain Expansion because during the Domain Clashes Sukuna needs to shrunk his Domain Expansion's range so much that he cannot meet the conditions of the technique.

12. #12Overall Skill Level

    Keys: Sun Squad, Moon Squad, Stars Squad, the Five Empty Generals, the most elite of the Fujiwara Clan

    Overall Skill Level: Back in the Golden Age of Jujutsu, the Heian Era, Ryomen Sukuna was feared and regarded by awe by all those in his time as the most powerful sorcerer of the time, defeating and killing thousands of jujutsu sorcerers even as they sharpened their skills against him. One of his feats included single-handedly slaughtering both the Sun, Moon, and Stars Squad and the Five Empty Generals, the most elite of the Fujiwara Clan's forces, leaving the authorities of Japan so utterly terrified that they were willing to hold festivities in his honor.[23][24] The impact Sukuna left on history until he died earned him the title of the "Strongest Sorcerer in History", as well as the "King of Curses". His strength is still held in such a high regard that even Satoru Gojo, the strongest jujutsu sorcerer of the modern age, with arrogance-levels of confidence and pride in his abilities, acknowledged his strength and that a fight between the two of them would be difficult. More than living up to his titles, Sukuna possesses vast amounts of cursed energy and equally incredible control over it, with an extraordinary grasp over jujutsu, but he was also not reliant on jujutsu alone, possessing overwhelming physical prowess as well, capable of dispatching almost any opponent without unveiling his true cursed technique. Even at his weakest state upon his incarnation in Yuji's body for most of the time he spent there, due to lacking most of his fingers, Sukuna remained extremely strong, capable of effortlessly dispatching powerful cursed spirits, including the likes of a cursed spirit who had ate his finger, which he easily retrieved from the cursed spirit after completely overpowering it.[25] While purposefully weakening himself by removing Yuji's heart to ensure Yuji could not switch back with him, Sukuna utterly defeated Megumi Fushiguro, the inheritor of the Zenin Clan's prized Ten Shadows Technique and a prodigious genius who started school as a grade 2 sorcerer with one of the highest potentials in Jujutsu High, to where Megumi admitted how utterly outmatched he was and was more than willing to unveil Mahoraga to defeat him. Sukuna would have killed Megumi had he not been interested in Megumi's unique talents, although before he could fight Megumi's trump card, Yuji managed to regain control of his body. Sought out by Mahito's group under the belief that his revival could ensure their success, with just four fingers, Sukuna demonstrated an overwhelming superiority in power compared to Mahito by being able to resist his Idle Transfiguration completely and effortlessly inflict a severe injury on Mahito when finally angered too much along with dispelling his Self-Embodiment of Perfection with a single attack. This terrified and intrigued Mahito to where he came to firmly believe that with Sukuna being on such a whole other level, his resurrection would surely bring about the Age of Curses. Once Yuji's body had consumed sixteen fingers, Sukuna's overwhelming cursed energy was felt throughout Shibuya when he was awakened, comparable to Gojo's while being overwhelmingly more sinister. With 80% of his strength restored, Sukuna proved capable of overwhelming Jogo, the most powerful cursed spirit in Mahito's group, in a mostly one-sided battle as he easily overpowered the best efforts of his foe, leaving him utterly unable to even land the single hit that would get Sukuna to join him, before killing him with his own speciality of fire. His last act during the Shibuya Incident was to defeat Mahoraga single-handedly, a feat no user of the Ten Shadows Technique and even a member of the Gojo Clan with Limitless and the Six Eyes had ever accomplished.

13. #13Incarnation

    Keys: Incarnation, possessing body, Sukuna's fingers,

    Incarnation (受じゅ肉にく, Juniku?): There is a slim chance that Sukuna will incarnate into whoever eats his fingers, gaining a physical, human body in the process. Upon Yuji consuming the first of his twenty fingers, Sukuna immediately came to possess his body, which he used to inhabit. Unlike other incarnated sorcerers, according to the Angel inhabiting Hana Kurusu, Sukuna, after experiencing death, had developed the knowledge to split his soul as cursed objects, which he demonstrated by transforming Yuji's pinky finger into a cursed object and then force-feeding Megumi with it to possess his body.

14. #14Master Hand-to-Hand Combat

    Keys: Hand to hand combat, punch, kick, dodge, counter attack,

    Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: While already extraordinarily formidable as a jujutsu sorcerer, Sukuna is also shown to be an extremely skilled and powerful hand-to-hand combatant, using martial arts as his first method of combat before unleashing his jujutsu abilities. Sukuna can unite his cursed technique and his hand-to-hand prowess, making him an extremely difficult opponent to overwhelm in battle. During his fight with Megumi, he was able to effortlessly overwhelm Megumi in unarmed combat, countering his attacks in close-range with ease before delivering a strong punch that sent him flying. When Yuji attempted to attack him in his innate domain, Sukuna effortlessly countered all of Yuji's attacks before seeing through his attempt to trip him and defeating him with a single kick. With sixteen fingers, Sukuna easily overpowered Jogo with hand-to-hand combat alone before finally killing him with a single use of his cursed technique. He was later capable of fighting on par with both Yuji and Maki Zenin, both being exceptional unarmed fighters with extraordinary physical ability, deflecting most of their blows and landing a few hits on his own, using hand-to-hand combat.

15. #15Immense Strength

    Keys: Immense strength, strength,

    Immense Strength: Even in his first appearance with a single finger, Sukuna was shown to possess unmatched physical strength despite being in an incomplete state; his raw might is only rivalled by the likes of Gojo, Yuji and a fully realised Maki. He could easily defeat a very large cursed spirit with just a simple swipe, and during his fight against Gojo he was able to punch the roof of the school so hard it caused the building to rupture and crack. He easily overpowered the likes of a Finger Bearer, a special-grade curse. When gambling Yuji's life against Megumi, Sukuna managed to fling the sorcerer through several building floors without effort and he easily overpowered and destroyed Megumi's shikigami. He even punched Megumi so hard, the raindrops in that area dispersed. With sixteen of his fingers, Sukuna punched Jogo through numerous skyscrapers with sufficient force to blow enormous holes through their sides and even destroyed the latter's jaw with a downward punch that opened a hole through at least six floors.[45] His blows also had considerable effect on the likes of Mahoraga. Upon taking over Megumi's body, he was able to easily pierce through Yuji's gut and send him flying across the city with a single punch, temporarily incapacitating the sorcerer.

16. #16Immense Speed

    Keys: Speed, dash, run,

    Immense Speed: Sukuna has repeatedly displayed overwhelming levels of raw physical speed, capable of effortlessly surprising most opponents with the sheer quickness of his movements. With three fingers, Sukuna easily slammed a Finger Bearer to the ground and even cut off its arm without it noticing. He was also able to effortlessly blitz Megumi several times, delivering powerful blows with Megumi barely able to react at all. With sixteen fingers, he completely overwhelmed Jogo and was able to easily keep up with Mahoraga in their fight. Sukuna was even able to instantly appear in the middle of Atsuya Kusakabe and Panda, both capable sorcerers, with the former being praised as the strongest grade 1 sorcerer by Satoru Gojo himself. In his fully incarnated form, he was able to outrun Yuji, who could run at speeds of 60.02 km/h (37.3 mph).

17. #17Immense Reflexes

    Keys: Reflex, reflexes, reaction time, react, blocking

    Immense Reflexes: In accordance with his agility, Sukuna has incredible reflexes that allow him to easily counter most of his opponents' attacks. He was able to dodge Jogo's Maximum: Meteor seconds before its impact and emerge unscathed,[49] and consistently dodged and countered Mahoraga's blows during their fight.[50] It should also be noted that Sukuna’s motor skill is so polished that in his true form, he can independently control his four arms and two mouths with ease; even in the middle of a fight, two of his arms can form gestures for powerful chants, and the mouth on his abdomen is capable of chanting empowered words continuously.

18. #18Immense Durability

    Keys: Immense Durability, tanking, durability, tanked,

    Immense Durability: When in Yuji's body, Sukuna can use cursed energy to bolster his host's resilience, first shown when he effortlessly repelled an attack by a Finger Bearer just by holding his hand out to block it. Sukuna was punched through five buildings and shown to be completely fine[51], as well as managing to block a hit from the Sword of Extermination without much difficulty. Sukuna was able to shrug off a 200% Hollow Technique: Purple during his fight with Satoru Gojo by defending himself at the last second, losing only his hands, and even then they were quickly regenerated with reverse cursed technique. Perhaps his biggest accomplishment in this regard is surviving an Unlimited Purple by Gojo, which completely destroyed Mahoraga and decimated a large area of Shinjuku, albeit left with severe injuries and barely being able to stand.

19. #19Great Tactical Intellect

    Keys: intelligence, understanding, intellect, tactic, tactical, tactics,

    Great Tactical Intellect: Despite his outwardly brutish mannerisms and sadism, Sukuna is an extremely intelligent individual. He has fully grasped the nature of cursed techniques, curses and reverse cursed technique as a whole. Due to that, he is able to quickly deduce the inner workings of cursed techniques after only seeing them once or twice and can create suitable foils to such techniques. He did this against Mahoraga in their fight, and was able to defeat the shikigami after gaining an understanding of its technique. Sukuna was also able to realize the potential of Megumi's cursed technique just by seeing it once during their short battle and he was able to create a binding vow with Yuji in order to take Megumi's body patiently waiting for the right moment before executing his plan. During his fight with Hana Kurusu, by using Megumi's memories, he was able to make Hana think that Megumi was in control of his body and thus when she hugged him he was able to critically injure her.

    When pushed into desperate situations, Sukuna has demonstrated the intellectual capacity to remain levelheaded and formulate strategies to counter his opponents. After Mahoraga was destroyed and he was severely injured by Hollow Purple,[56] Sukuna made a binding vow that allowed him to bypass the world-cutting slash's conditions and unleash it, killing Gojo when the latter least expected it. Even when he lost two left hands and suffered seven consecutive Black Flashes from Yuji, which disrupted his connection with Megumi's soul and lowered his cursed energy output and physical control, Sukuna regained his ability to expand his domain without lowering its output or difficulty by improvising several binding vows that included uncertain conditions, instantly turning the tides of the battle by removing all the sorcerers except Yuji from the battlefield.

20. #20CE Pool

    Keys: Cursed Energy Capacity, cursed energy pool, CE pool, CE capacity, extraordinarily efficient usage of cursed energy, efficiency,

    Cursed Energy Capacity: True to his title as the King of Curses, Sukuna possesses vast levels of cursed energy, likely the most transcendent throughout history, far surpassing special grade cursed spirits and sorcerers alike. Yuta Okkotsu, a special grade sorcerer who possesses even more cursed energy than Satoru Gojo,[60] states that Sukuna has double the amount of cursed energy that Yuta has or more.[61] Coupled with his extraordinarily efficient usage of cursed energy, Sukuna was able to continuously use his techniques throughout his battles without exhausting himself in the slightest. Even after expanding his domain three times throughout his fight with Gojo, Sukuna's cursed energy reserves were merely lowered to the same level as Yuta's, which was still enough for him to cast domain expansion two more times and possibly countless more.

21. #21Cursed Energy Manipulation

    Keys: Cursed Energy Manipulation, CE manipulation, cursed energy control, sophisticated manipulation of cursed energy, utilizing cursed energy,

    Cursed Energy Manipulation: Sukuna has incredible control over his cursed energy, being extremely proficient in using cursed techniques that require sophisticated manipulation of cursed energy such as domain expansion and reverse cursed technique, and capable of performing both flawlessly and repeatedly without issue. Hajime Kashimo, one of the strongest sorcerers from 400 years ago, was astonished by Sukuna's mastery over his cursed energy, displayed by his ability to seamlessly shift between domain amplification to his innate technique, to where he stated that if not for the Six Eyes, even Satoru Gojo would be no match against Sukuna in utilizing cursed energy. Sukuna's expertise in controlling cursed energy even allows him to survive after his heart was stabbed through, doing so by using cursed energy to keep his heart beating.

22. #22Cursed Energy Output

    Keys: Cursed Energy Output, CE output, output of cursed energy,

    Cursed Energy Output: In addition to his immeasurable amounts of cursed energy, Sukuna can output high amounts of cursed energy into his cursed techniques, vastly increasing their effectiveness. When using his Dismantle and Cleave techniques, the slashes can easily slice skyscrapers in half and instantly kill sorcerers by dicing their bodies into pieces. In contrast, Yuta's Cleave was only able to inflict minor cuts on Sukuna's face while Yuji's slash barely cut off Sukuna's leg.

23. #23Cursed Energy Reinforcement

    Keys: Cursed Energy Reinforcement, CE reinforcement, Cursed Energy, Enhancing the body, enhance his strength, enhance his durability,

    Cursed Energy Reinforcement: Augmenting his already immense physical prowess, Sukuna regularly uses cursed energy to enhance his strength and durability. Most of his aforementioned strength and durability feats can be attributed to his reinforcement technique. By reinforcing his hands with cursed energy, Sukuna was able to tank a direct hit from a Hollow Technique: Purple at 200% output after it traveled about four kilometers, albeit taking enough damage to lose both hands.

24. #24Sukuna's Sight of Love

    Keys: Love, connecting with others, worth of love, caring for others than yourself, selfishness, greedy,

    Sukuna, as "The Strongest," represents a being who has completely forsaken his humanity—love, connection, and vulnerability—in pursuit of absolute strength, which isolates him from others and makes emotional fulfillment impossible. This is his curse: to remain invulnerable is to remain alone. Yorozu’s desire to “teach him love” by defeating him reflects the idea that bringing someone like Sukuna down from his inhuman pedestal forces vulnerability, thus reintroducing the capacity for human connection. Sukuna understands this definition of love but dismisses it as greedy and meaningless, because for him, love equals weakness, and weakness is incompatible with his identity as the strongest. He believes others like Gojo and Kashimo, who still retain fragments of sentimentality, might have been more fitting recipients of such a lesson. This highlights a key contradiction among strong sorcerers—they desire both strength and the emotional bonds of humanity, a paradox Sukuna sees as foolish. The story’s themes, reflected even in the Japanese arc title, emphasize how strength often demands the abandonment of humanity, painting powerful sorcerers as inhuman or cursed. In contrast, Yuji embodies unwavering humanity, his emotional vulnerability and suffering making him the thematic foil to Sukuna. Ultimately, this is a story about love and curses—how love can be both a curse and the cure, and how the absence of love turns people into curses themselves.

25. #25Six Eyesselective

    Keys: Six Eyes, The Six Eyes, Gojo Clan, Satoru Gojo,

    The Six Eyes (六りく眼がん, Rikugan?) are an innate gift rarely inherited within the Gojo clan. They are a nonstandard jujutsu trait manifesting as a pair of bright blue eyes that grant a bearer extrasensory perception. This includes seeing the flow of cursed energy in extreme detail and the ability to use that flow to read cursed techniques. The eyes also allow for ultra-precise control over the user's cursed energy, which is indispensable for properly utilizing the Limitless technique.

    Satoru Gojo is the first sorcerer to be born with both the Limitless and the Six Eyes in approximately four hundred years.

    ---History---

    The Six Eyes were always bound to Master Tengen and the Star Plasma Vessel by fate. At some point in the past, Kenjaku was defeated by two different users of the Six Eyes. After his second defeat, Kenjaku did not take any chances and killed another Six Eyes user a month after they were born. Despite Kenjaku doing the same to the Star Plasma Vessel, the Six Eyes reappeared alongside a new Star Plasma Vessel on the day of the merger.

    This connection was severed by Toji Fushiguro, a man who escaped cursed energy through Heavenly Restriction and destroyed all of their destinies. This inevitably led to the current user of the Six Eyes getting sealed by Kenjaku.

    ---OVERVIEW---

    The Six Eyes are an idiosyncrasy rarely inherited within the Gojo clan. They are not a cursed technique that needs to be activated, but an innate gift that grants the bearer the ability to master the Limitless. Several hundred years can pass before a bearer of the Six Eyes appears, and no two bearers can exist at the same time.

    A Six Eyes bearer has immense perception and unrivaled visual prowess far beyond that of any other sorcerer. Their eyesight is comparable to high-definition infrared camera, allowing them to see even when their eyes are covered. They can easily see things from several kilometers away and distinctly tell apart different figures within that range.

    The Six Eyes can see the flow of cursed energy, empowering their bearer with the ability to read an individual's cursed technique in use and determine its function. They can even differentiate between different types of cursed energy and help the user identify a person based on it.

    The Six Eyes allow for the extremely precise manipulation of cursed energy, down to an atomic level. This not only allows the bearer to operate the Limitless through complex control of cursed energy but enables them to process it with extraordinary efficiency as well. The amount of cursed energy loss when a bearer spends cursed energy to activate a cursed technique is infinitesimally close to zero, making it impossible for them to run out of cursed energy normally.

    The Six Eyes are a passive trait that the user cannot deactivate. They also do not appear to require cursed energy to function, as Satoru Gojo could still use his Six Eyes even after his cursed energy was sealed by Prison Realm. Leaving the Six Eyes uncovered for extended periods of time can fatigue the bearer. In order to reduce fatigue, the user can cover their eyes using a blindfold, bandages, or dark sunglasses among other things. Any sorcerer can see cursed energy but a Six Eyes bearer can read the flow of cursed energy in their environment even when their eyes are covered, allowing them to even detect objects that lack cursed energy.

    In order for the user to utilize the advanced techniques of the Limitless such as Hollow Purple and Unlimited Void, the Six Eyes needs to be fully uninhibited.

26. #26Cursed Energyselective

    Keys: Cursed Energy, Negative Energy, Energy, Curse Energy, Negative Cursed Energy, Curse

    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.

    ---Describtion---

    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. 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. 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.

    ---Cursed Energy Detection---

    Cursed Energy Perception (呪じゅ力りょく感かん知ち, Juryoku Kanchi?) 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.

    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.

    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. The Inverted Spear of Heaven possesses foreign cursed energy that can cancel out jujutsu. 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.

    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. 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,[10] and when Yuta connected with Rika's full manifestation, Ryu could also sense his adversary's cursed energy filling back up as well.

    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. 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---

    Cursed Energy Manipulation (呪じゅ力りょく操そう作さ, Juryoku Sōsa?) — 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.

    Control over cursed energy requires innate skill and vigorous training. In order for Yuji to develop his skills, Gojo had him undergo special training that saw him controlling his emotions and his cursed energy at the same time. Yuta Okkotsu, someone with an overabundance of cursed energy, was trained to control it by constantly imbuing it into a katana. By training with the katana Yuta learned to manipulate his cursed energy to a degree and was capable of using it to exorcise curses almost immediately.

    Satoru Gojo compares cursed energy to electricity: it's volatile in nature and difficult to use in its rawest form. While raw cursed energy can be used for its blunt force, it's best used by sorcerers to power their techniques in the same way electricity is best used to fuel electronics. In this case, cursed energy is flowed into a technique to activate a sorcerer's unique abilities. However, cursed energy does not flow on its own. Yuji Itadori's cursed energy used to lag behind his superhuman speed when he threw a punch, resulting in his Divergent Fist technique. This delay was due to his inexperience with making cursed energy flow properly throughout his body.

    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.

    Most sorcerers have to make cursed energy flow, so most instinctively believe it starts from the negative feelings in their stomach and flows through the rest of the body. However, thinking of one's body as different sections is what delays the flow of their energy. In order to understand this cycle, one must realize that they exist in the world with their entire mind, body, and soul as one. Aoi Todo helped Yuji stop taking this maxim for granted, greatly accelerating his progression as a sorcerer.

    ---Applying Cursed Energy---

    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 energy 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.

    The amount of cursed energy released by an individual is referred to as their potential Cursed Energy Output (呪じゅ力りょく出しゅつ力りょく, Juryoku Shutsuryoku?). 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 projectiles 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.

    Through Cursed Energy Reinforcement (呪じゅ力りょく強きょう化か, Juryoku Kyōka?), an individual can augment their physical abilities. 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. Despite being physically weak, Yuta can more than compensate for his lack of power by reinforcing his body with cursed energy, allowing him to throw a car back at Yuji.

    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.

27. #27Cursed Energy Traitselective

    Keys: Cursed Energy, Traits, cursed energy traits,

    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 Hajime due to the infinite cursed energy bonus he received from his domain's jackpot.

28. #28Jujutsuselective

    Keys: Sorcerer, Sorcery, Jujutsu, Non-Sorcerer

    Jujutsu, also known as Jujutsu Sorcery, is often used as an umbrella term that includes all sorcery-related abilities that sorcerers and cursed spirits can access using cursed energy. It is also often used as a prefix for the vast majority of terms within the jujutsu society. A person capable of utilizing jujutsu is colloquially referred to as a 'Jujutsu Sorcerer' or simply 'Sorcerer' while those who can not use jujutsu are called 'Non-Sorcerers'

29. #29Black Flashselective

    Keys: Black Flash, Black Flashes

    Black Flash 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, increasing the destructive power of the impact to the power of 2.5. 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.

    The three great sorcerer clans of the jujutsu world are the Zenin Clan, the Gojo Clan, and the Kamo Clan. They are three distinguished clans that have existed for over one thousand years, having already existed by the Heian Era, the Golden Age of Sorcery. Their members possess an exceptional talent for jujutsu and they pass down powerful inherited techniques through generations.

36. #36Innate Techniqueselective

    Keys: Innate Technique

    Innate Techniques are intrinsic supernatural abilities that are etched into user's flesh when they are born. These techniques continuously develop and engrave themselves within the user over time, eventually manifesting within a sorcerer around five or six years old. These abilities can be inherited from a predecessor within the same clan or a completely unique ability may manifest regardless of their heritage. These techniques are nearly impossible to mimic or replicate due to their proprietary nature

37. #37Cursed Techniqueselective

    Keys: Cursed Technique, Abilities, Technique, Ability

    Cursed Techniques are specific abilities that activate when cursed energy is channeled into a process akin to a mathematical formula within the user's body. Cursed techniques are activated by manipulating cursed energy through innate or inherited techniques.

41. #41Cursed Spiritselective

    Keys: Monster, Ghost, Cursed Spirit, Curse Spirit, Demon, Spirit, Curse

    Cursed Spirits are a race of spiritual and conceptual 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. Cursed Spirits fade away after being exorcised/killed

42. #42Familiarselective

    Keys: Familiar, Shikigami

    Shikigami are familiars similar to cursed spirits that are tamed and conjured by sorcerers in battle. Shikigami conjuration is another type of non-innate technique but some innate techniques include utilizing shikigami within their function

43. #43Barrierselective

    Keys: Barrier, Barrier Technique

    Barrier Techniques are non-innate techniques that are used to erect barriers. Barriers are used to trap an opponent, prevent them from entering, or protect the user among other uses. 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

44. #44Curtainselective

    Keys: Curtain

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

45. #45Anti-Domain Techniqueselective

    Keys: Anti-Domain Technique, Anti-Domain

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

46. #46Simple Domainselective

    Keys: Simple Domain, Anti-Domain

    Developed by Sadatsuna Ashiya during the Heian Era as the 'domain for the weak'. It expands a small domain on the ground around the user to open a hole in an opposing domain, neutralizing the sure-hit attack by targeting the domain's barrier.

47. #47Anti-Domainselective

    Keys: Anti-Domain, Domain Amplification

    Domain Amplification is an anti-domain technique that envelops the user in their domain to neutralize any opposing cursed technique or domain expansion they come into contact with. The user expands their domain thinly over their entire body like a cloak. While domain amplification is active, the user can neutralize the sure-hit effects of any domain expansion. The technique will also neutralize the cursed technique of anyone touched by the user, granting the user flexibility. However, its primary drawback is that an innate technique cannot be activated at the same time, limiting the user to relying on hand-to-hand combat

48. #48Falling Blossom Emotionselective

    Keys: Falling Blossom Emotion, Anti-Domain

    Falling Blossom Emotion is a secret art passed down in the Big Three Sorcerer Families as a countermeasure to domains. Falling Blossom Emotion shrouds the user in cursed energy that counter-attacks the moment a domain's guaranteed hit makes contact. The cursed energy defends the user automatically, countering any attack with equal force to nullify it.

49. #49Hollow Wicker Basketselective

    Keys: Hollow Wicker Basket, Anti-Domain

    Hollow Wicker Basket is an anti-domain technique and predecessor to simple domain. Hollow Wicker Basket takes the form of a spherical, woven basket-like shield around the user. It neutralizes a domain's barrier imbued with a cursed technique to nullify its guaranteed hit. However, it cannot neutralize cursed techniques themselves, making it ineffective against incomplete or non-lethal domains

50. #50Innate Domainselective

    Keys: Domain, Innate Domain, Mind, Soul

    An Innate Domain, normally referred to simply as a Domain, is a mental landscape that embodies the mind of an individual which they are born with. Innate domains serve as the foundation of an innate cursed technique, but sorcerers, non-sorcerers, and cursed spirits are born with them.
