<![CDATA[The original is a battle manga by Akutami Gege, which began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2018, and is scheduled to be broadcast as a TV anime in October 2020. It is a hot-blooded battle story with many gag elements, and the content is typical of a boys' manga, but since the subject matter is "curses," there are quite a few negative words such as "kill" and "die" and grotesque scenes. The protagonist, Yuji Itadori, who has just entered high school, eats the curse "Ryomen Sukuna" after an incident. Normally, people who absorb a curse are consumed by the curse, but Itadori miraculously becomes a vessel of the curse and survives, and he then fights the curse. In this work, there are ranks for death by magic and cursed spirits, so you can understand the power relationships to a certain extent, but the actual hierarchy of strength is often unclear. So, I would like to introduce the strong characters in a ranking format. If we include cursed spirits, the main ones are all special grade, and the top ones are almost all cursed spirits, so this time I would like to rank the characters on the sorcerer side. Please note that this includes my personal views.
Let's start with a review of the ranks of sorcerers
This diagram shows the ranks of cursed spirits, but it is not that different from the ranks of sorcerers. In terms of power relations, a grade 1 sorcerer is slightly higher than a grade 1 cursed spirit, and a grade 2 sorcerer is slightly higher than a grade 2 cursed spirit. In other words, even if they are the same rank, the sorcerers are ranked slightly higher. By the way, the special grade of sorcerers is a special rank that exists diagonally above the hierarchy of ranks, and it is said that it is the first grade that leads the sorcerer world. Currently, Gojo Satoru and Okkotsu Yuta are clearly classified as special grades. It is easy to see why they are positioned diagonally above.
10th place - Zen'in Maki
A second-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu Technical College, she is ranked 4th grade as a sorcerer and possesses the "heavenly curse". Although she is of the Zen'in family, she cannot use sorcery and cannot see cursed spirits with the naked eye. Because of this, he is treated as a dropout in the Zen'in family and is ranked 4th grade regardless of his abilities. In exchange for not being able to use cursed magic, he has extraordinary physical abilities and is durable enough to block his sister Mai's magic spells with his bare hands. His fighting style involves wearing glasses that allow him to see cursed spirits and fighting using cursed tools. If he fought without cursed magic, I would rank him higher, but since he cannot fight cursed spirits without using cursed tools, I have put him in 10th place.
"Heavenly Curse"
Mechamaru talks about "heavenly curse" during his fight with Panda. The power of a curse increases when it is accompanied by binding. "Heavenly curse" is different from normal binding, and is a binding that is innately imposed on the body. It is this innate binding that is the reason why Maki cannot use curses.
9th place: Inumaki Toge
A second-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu Technical College, with a quasi-first-class sorcerer rank. He is a descendant of the Inumaki family and a sorcerer of the cursed words. Inumaki's words contain cursed power, and in normal conversations, he only talks about the ingredients of rice balls, which do not contain cursed power. It seems that "shake" means affirmation and "okaka" means negation, but it is unknown what the other words represent. When Hanami first appeared, Fushiguro somehow understood what Inumaki was saying, surprising Kamo. The curse words are scary because you never know when they will come, and they are very powerful, so people are very wary of them, but if you know when they will come, you can deal with them, and Inumaki can't use them too often because curse words damage his throat. For these reasons, we have ranked him 9th.
8th place: Kamo Noriyuki
A third-year student at Kyoto Jujutsu Technical College, he is a quasi-first-class sorcerer. He is the next head of the Kamo family, one of the three great families, but he is actually not the eldest son, but the son of a concubine. As his wife was unable to give birth to a boy who could inherit the technique, he was falsely welcomed into the Kamo family as the eldest son. Kamo himself is favored as the eldest son, but his mother has a history of being bullied for being a concubine. He sympathizes with Fushiguro, who is also from one of the Gosanke families, and feels that they are just like him, but Fushiguro firmly denies it. His fighting style is "Red Blood Manipulation Technique," which allows him to control his own blood and anything with his blood on it, and he uses a bow and arrow as his weapon. He is ranked 8th because he is quasi-first grade and his fight with Fushiguro was evenly matched with no conclusion.
7th place Ultimate Mechamaru Yo Kokichi
A second-year student at Kyoto Jujutsu Technical College, his rank as a sorcerer is quasi-first-class. Like Zenin Maki, he has the "heavenly curse," and as a physical constraint, he was born without his right arm or any part of his body below the knees, and has no feeling below the waist. Furthermore, his skin is so fragile that it is burned by the moonlight, and he is constantly in pain as if needles were piercing every pore in his body. Because of this, his entire body is covered in bandages, and he looks just like... Shizuka Omi from "Run~uni~ken~" (lol). It seems like a binding that can't be compared to Maki's, but in return, he is able to use a vast range of techniques and output more cursed energy than his true ability. He fights by using "Puppet Manipulation Technique" to freely control a puppet and piloting Ultimate Mechamaru. After his body is restored by Mahito's "Muitenhen", he pilots Ultimate Mechamaru's absolute form and releases the cursed energy he has accumulated over the years of binding, and corners Mahito with the Shin Kageryu "Simple Area". He is ranked 7th because he has cornered Mahito, who is a special grade even among quasi-1st grade.
6th place Meimei
He is a first-class sorcerer who cooperates with the Jujutsu Technical College, but he basically works solo and is a realist who will lend a hand to anyone depending on the reward. He uses the "Black Swan Manipulation Technique" to share the bird's field of vision and control it freely, but he has gained a body that can fight well enough without using sorcery by strengthening his sorcery power. There are no battle scenes with Meimei, but he is ranked 6th because he exorcises the special grade specific disease, the cursed spirit smallpox god, and because he was already a first-class sorcerer when Gojo was a second-class sorcerer.
5th place: Nanami Kento
A first-class sorcerer with an unusual career history, who quit sorcery, worked as a salaryman, and then returned to sorcery. Perhaps because of his experience as a salaryman, he is a serious person who follows the rules even if he doesn't like them. He usually limits his sorcery power by binding them by time, but when he removes the binding, his sorcery power amplifies, and Nanami calls this overtime work. He uses the "Jukketsu Juho", a technique that forcibly makes weak points at points with a 7:3 ratio when dividing the target, which is effective on non-living things as well. Nanami defeated Mahito with the extended technique "Kawara Otaku Kawara Otaku", which infuses the destroyed object with cursed power. He also holds the record of having four consecutive Black Flashes, so his skills are impeccable. For these reasons, he is ranked 5th.
4th Place: Itadori Yuuji
The protagonist of this work, a first-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu Technical College who houses Ryomen Sukuna in his body, is not given the rank of a sorcerer. Due to his acquired connection with curses, he cannot use jujutsu, but he has an excellent sense for hand-to-hand combat and fights by adding cursed energy to his fists. His ability is considered to be equivalent to second grade, but he is growing rapidly, and his strength increases dramatically during his training with Gojo and his fight with Todo. In his fight with Hanami, he unleashed four consecutive black flashes, matching Nanami's record, and when he defeated a grasshopper-type cursed spirit on the subway, Meimei recognized that he was already at a first grade level. His current ability is inferior to Nanami and Meimei, but he has gained cursed energy from possessing Ryoumen Sukuna, and Gojo's words that "Sukuna's magic formula will be engraved on his body" are intriguing, so he is expected to become even stronger from here, and is ranked 4th.
3rd place: Megumi Fushiguro
A first year student at Tokyo Jujutsu Technical College, his rank as a sorcerer is 2nd grade. He is a descendant of the Zen'in family, one of the three great families, and the son of Zen'in Jinji, a sorcerer killer who once fought against Gojo. Since Zen'in Jinji married into the Fushiguro family, Megumi's name has also become Fushiguro, despite his Zen'in family background. He uses the "Ten Shadows" technique to control ten types of Shikigami, and is good at long-distance combat. He draws shadow pictures, materializes them, and summons shikigami, but once a shikigami is destroyed, it cannot be manifested again. However, it seems that the formula and power of a destroyed shikigami are passed on to other shikigami. When he confronts the special grade cursed spirit of the 88 Bridges, he expands the interpretation of the formula, activates the domain expansion "Interlocking Shadow Garden" incompletely, and succeeds in expelling the special grade cursed spirit by himself. Also, when Fushiguro is cornered, he tries to sacrifice himself to use a secret weapon to defeat the opponent. He recites something like a spell that begins with "Furubu...", but he has never used it once, so the details are unknown. However, since it costs his life and Gojo calls it his secret weapon, it is expected to be quite powerful. Like Itadori Yuji, he does not currently have the ability to be third, but he has been ranked third due to his mastery of domain expansion, the existence of a secret weapon, and the fact that Sukuna is the only person who is interested in him.
Second place: Toudou Aoi
A third year student at Kyoto Jujutsu Technical College, with a 1st-class rank. Although he is not from a family of sorcerers, he has the ability to be promoted to 1st-class while he was a student, and the author, Akutami Gege, calls Toudou a "high-sense gorilla." He hates being told what to do by others and lives by respecting his own will. He came to think of Itadori as his best friend because they had the same taste in women, and he is so kind to those he respects that he starts teaching them about cursed energy even during battle. He uses "Fugi Yugi" to replace objects with a certain level of cursed energy, and has a fighting style that doesn't match his appearance, toying with his opponents as he fights. He is so calm that he can instantly decide how to respond even during battle, and his mind is quick, with an IQ of 530,000 (self-proclaimed). During the Hyakki Yakou on December 24, 2017, he single-handedly banished five first-grade cursed spirits and one special-grade cursed spirit that appeared in Kyoto, and he is said to only use special-grade techniques. Toudou, who possesses strength, calmness, and a fiery soul, has been ranked second.
1st place: Gojo Satoru
No explanation needed, this guy is number one! He is the homeroom teacher for the first year at Tokyo Jujutsu Technical College, and his rank as a sorcerer is special grade. He is from the Gojo family, one of the three great families, and in the past, he was almost killed by Zen'in Jinji (Fushiguro's father) on a mission to protect and eliminate Tengen-sama's star plasma body, Amano Riko, but he survived using the inversion technique and killed Zen'in Jinji. Since then, he has mastered the inversion technique and become the strongest sorcerer recognized by both himself and others. Geto believes that he must kill Gojo Satoru to bring in Ryomen Sukuna. Nanami also says that sealing Gojo Satoru would be the end of the world and all of humanity. Gojo's technique is the "Unlimited Curse", which creates infinity and allows him to freely manipulate space and distance. Gojo has also mastered the inversion technique, and can unleash the Void technique "Ge", which combines forward and reverse movements and is said to be known only to a few members of the Gojo family. Its power is enough to deal great damage to special grade cursed spirits with one blow. Furthermore, Gojo's domain expansion "Infinite Void" continues to transmit information infinitely to those within the domain, preventing them from taking any action, making it an incredible innate domain that essentially guarantees victory if you are able to enter the domain. When confronting Mahito, Jogo, and others on the subway, he activates "Muryoukujo" for 0.2 seconds, knocking out all non-successors and cyborgs while still standing, and then massacres about 1,000 cyborgs in just 299 seconds. Everyone says that Gojo Satoru is the strongest in the story, and he showed overwhelming power in real combat, so we will undoubtedly rank him in first place.
How strong is he...?
Okkotsu Yuta does not appear in the main story because he is overseas. He is a distant relative of Gojo Satoru and a descendant of the super-famous sorcerer Sugawara no Michizane, making his lineage amazing. In volume 0, he possessed the super-cursed spirit Orimoto Rika, which gave him the incredible power to defeat Geto, but we don't know what his current abilities are now that Rika's curse has been lifted. However, his ability to use the reversal technique, his current rank as a super-cursed sorcerer, and the fact that Fushiguro and the others admire him make us believe that he is powerful. Therefore, although he is not ranked, we would like to place him on the same level as Gojo Satoru or slightly below him.
Who is the strongest? Introducing the strongest ranking! Summary
What did you think?
No. 1 is Gojo Satoru, no matter who you are! But the rest of the rankings are very personal opinions, so some people may have different opinions. I hope you will use them as a reference. I would love to see an official ranking!
