The main cast of Jujutsu Kaisen 0. From left to right: Suguru Geto, Toge Inumaki, Maki Zen'in (front), Satoru Gojo and Yuta Okkotsu and Rika Orimoto (back); their designs were revised for the main series
Jujutsu Kaisen originates from the four chapter series Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical School, later retitled Jujutsu Kaisen 0. In retrospect, Akutami found the early design of Yuta Okkotsu too similar to that of fellow Jujutsu Sorcerer Megumi Fushiguro in the main series, thinking this they might confuse readers.[1] As a result, Akutami changed Yuta's look for the main series. For the series, Akutami teased readers with the possibility Yuta might have been romantically involved with another woman since Rika's death. Similar changes were given to the returning cast including Maki Zen'in, Toge Inumaki and Satoru Gojo due to the authors' preferences.[2] When Jujutsu Kaisen was created, Akutami created a new character, Yuji Itadori, for the leading role while Yuta became supporting. Similarities between Yuta and Itadori include their introduction to jujutsu, tragedy, naivety and having faced death. Despite their similarities, the two have been noted to "carry themselves very differently... Itadori is outgoing, where Yuta is more reserved".[3][4]
Regarding the process of character creation, Akutami claimed that they must fall within the canons of shōnen manga in order to capture the attention of readers. Yuji is largely inspired by Akutami's older brother, who is the opposite of Akutami, according to the author's own words, as he had succeeded in sports and study.[5] Akutami said that the message of Jujutsu Kaisen is that nobody has the absolute truth, not the "good guys" nor the "bad guys", and if nobody is right, then nobody is wrong either, and that each character acts according to their own ethics. The Sensui arc of YuYu Hakusho inspired Akutami to create evil characters with the goal of eradicating humanity, for whom the readers, nevertheless, would feel a certain empathy.[5] The character of Nobara Kugisaki was written to be the strongest protagonist while Megumi Fushiguro did not stand out too much until the author decided to give him a line where he makes philosophy. Akutami, fearing that the manga would be cancelled, decided to expand the time during which Yuji is dead. Akutami also expressed regrets over the handling of Junpei Yoshino and his story arc.[6]
With Sukuna and Mahito, Akutami wanted to avoid the typical "deep down they are good" idea, stating that they are intrinsically evil beings who like to make humans suffer, but Akutami said that it cannot be proved that they are wrong, adding that Mahito was like Thanos in Avengers: Endgame, as Akutami never felt hatred for him.[5] For some characters, like Panda and Toge Inumaki, Akutami first created their visual aspects, while the character of Satoru Gojo came from an idea, which represents the paroxysm of force. Sukuna was Akutami's first favorite character due to his design being influenced by everything that Akutami had read, but Kento Nanami was the first character properly created and developed by Akutami, making him the author's later favorite character.[5]
Yuji Itadori (虎杖 悠仁, Itadori Yūji) is an athletic teenager who joins his school's Occult Club to avoid the track team. After finding and opening a box containing a cursed charm resembling a rotting finger, his school is attacked by phantom-like creatures called Curses. To protect his friends, he consumes the rotting finger and becomes possessed by a Curse known as Ryomen Sukuna. After this, he is taken under Satoru Gojo's wing and joins the Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School but is placed under a death sentence, suspended until he consumes all of Sukuna's fingers, after which the execution would be carried out to eliminate Sukuna. When Yuji releases Sukuna for help, the latter kills and resurrects Yuji by forcing him into a Binding Vow that allows him to take control of Yuji's body with a chant. Gojo introduces him to Kento Nanami, who becomes a mentor to Yuji. During the Sister School Event, Yuji becomes friends with Aoi Todo, who teaches him the Black Flash (黒閃, Kokusen) while fighting Hanami, which can raise the destructive power of their strike to the power of 2.5. During the next case, he and Nobara both kill Death Paintings Eso and Kechizu.
In the Shibuya Incident, Yuji encounters the vengeful Death Painting Choso, who leaves him close to death, allowing Jogo to feed him 11 of Sukuna's fingers. Sukuna takes over and wreaks havoc in Shibuya. Yuji feels responsible for the hundreds of thousands of people Sukuna kills and seeks to stop Kenjaku at all costs. He faces off against Mahito, who kills Nanami and disfigures Nobara in front of him to break his resolve. Yuji's determination is reinforced however, when Todo joins him and they tear Mahito down together, until Kenjaku arrives to absorb the curse. Following the Shibuya Incident, Yuji's execution is reinstated and he goes into hiding with his newly-discovered half-brother Choso.
When Yuta and Naoya arrive to execute him, Yuta heals him with Reverse Cursed Techniques. Yuta, Megumi and the rest join him to stop Kenjaku's plans in the Culling Games. During the Culling Games, he successfully recruits third-year Jujutsu High students Hakari Kinji and Kirara Hoshi, and later Hiromi Higuruma. However, Sukuna exploits his binding vow with Yuji to resurface and transfer his essence into Megumi by making him eat one of Yuji's fingers. Yuji's despair is alleviated when they are able to release Gojo from the Prison Realm. Gojo challenges Sukuna to a duel on Christmas Eve. Determined to end Sukuna and save Megumi, Choso allows Yuji to eat the remaining Cursed Wombs and awaken Blood Manipulation (赤血 操術, Sekketsu Sōjutsu). Kamo and Choso work together in teaching Yuji how to use this technique, while Ui Ui uses his technique to switch Yuji's soul with Kusakabe and Yuta so he could learn their abilities, Simple Domain and Reverse Cursed Technique, respectively.
Yuji faces off against Sukuna alongside the others after Gojo and Kashimo's deaths. He uses Blood Manipulation as well as Sukuna's own Shrine (御厨子, Mizushi) Cursed Technique due to it being engraved on his body as well as his blood relation to Sukuna, his uncle. His lengthy Black Flash flurry against Sukuna greatly impairs the latter's grasp on Megumi's body, forcing the latter to use Binding Vows to rejuvenate his domain and eliminate Yuji. Choso gives his life to protect Yuji, after which Todo and Yuta in Gojo's body join him to help. After Okkotsu uses Hollow Purple to disable Sukuna's domain, Yuji weakens Sukuna, after which Todo switches in Angel for a final Jacob's Ladder. Todo takes the Black Flash meant for them, after which Yuji traps Sukuna in his Domain Expansion. Yuji's actions finally get through to Megumi and he begins resisting Sukuna from the inside. Following a Resonance on Sukuna's final finger from the recently-awakened Nobara, Yuji is able to hit Sukuna with a final Black Flash.
Megumi Fushiguro (伏黒 恵, Fushiguro Megumi) is a student sorcerer in his first year at the Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School under the tutelage of Gojo. He meets Yuji when trying to locate a special-grade cursed charm talisman at his high school. Megumi is the one that convinces Satoru to save Yuji from his execution after his possession by Sukuna. Megumi possesses the Ten Shadows Technique (十種影法術, Tokusa no Kage Bōjutsu). He uses his Cursed Energy to create shikigami (式神) out of his own shadows to exorcise Curses. He has been noted to have high potential as a sorcerer by several other powerful people, including Sukuna himself. He was originally going to be sold to the Zen'in clan (one of the big three prestigious sorcerer families), which was stopped by Gojo. He becomes close friends with Yuji.
During the investigation of the Yasohachi Bridge case, he faces off against a special grade curse alone, manifesting his own incomplete Domain Expansion Chimera Shadow Garden (嵌合 暗翳庭, Kangō An'eitei), domain for the first time that floods the area with fluid shadows that can rapidly produce any shikigami Megumi desires or even clones of himself. The head of the Zen'in clan, Naobito suffers grievous injuries fighting Dagon and Jogo at Shibuya, and names Megumi as the next head of the Zen'in clan before dying. He and Yuji then compete in the Culling Games in order to save his sister Tsumiki. After the truth about his sister being possessed by Heian era sorcerer Yorozu is revealed, Sukuna possesses Megumi, becoming his new vessel. Sukuna is resolved to kill Yorozu, who is madly in love with him, to completely sink Megumi into despair by turning him into his own sister's killer. He summons Megumi's shikigami, including Mahoraga, and succeeds in killing Yorozu as well as Tsumiki. Following Tsumiki's death, Sukuna further sinks Megumi into despair with an ancient bath ritual of curses.
When the sorcerers successfully release Gojo from the Prison Realm, Gojo challenges Sukuna to a duel on Christmas Eve. During the duel, Gojo greatly injures Sukuna before his defeat, while Sukuna forces Megumi to be the target of Gojo's Infinite Void attacks. During the showdown with the reincarnated Sukuna, Yuta helps Yuji reach Megumi's soul inside, but the latter is too far gone into darkness and refuses his help. However, after Yuji traps Sukuna in his Domain Expansion and reaches out to him again, Megumi is finally inspired to fight back against Sukuna's control.
Nobara Kugisaki (釘崎 野薔薇, Kugisaki Nobara) is a sorcerer studying in the first year at the Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School under the tutelage of Gojo. Nobara possesses the Straw Doll Technique (芻霊呪法, Sūrei Juhō). She carries a toolkit consisting of a strawdoll, a weapon hammer and nails as her primary choice of combat. Using these tools, she can channel two different types of attacks, Resonance (共鳴, Tomonari), which applies her cursed energy to her target using a straw doll as an effigy and she can use a body part of her target to establish a link to attack the main target, Resonance then causes large black spikes to protrude from the target's chest to inflict great damage; Hairpin (簪, Kanzashi), a technique that causes the cursed energy imbued nails to erupt with explosive force. Nobara transferred to the Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School, so that she could move from the countryside without any living expenses and leave behind the villagers she despises due to their nosiness and overbearing attitudes. Nobara's only friend growing up was the gloomy and quiet Fumi, until an older girl named Saori briefly moved to their village, whom she then looks up to, until the villagers forced the latter to move out due to viewing her as an outside. Nobara wishes to meet her sometime again in Tokyo. She meets Yuji and Megumi during her first official mission as a sorcerer with Gojo. During the Yasohachi Bridge case, her and Yuji face the Curse Womb Death Painting brothers Eso and Kechizu together and are able to defeat their first special grades together, thus inviting Choso's vengeance unto them. During the chaos at Shibuya on October 31, she runs into Mahito's double whose soul ends up being susceptible to Nobara's Resonance attack, with Mahito resorting to trick her by switching places with his double and ends up severely disfigured by Mahito. Though Arata Nitta applies his technique to her body, her current status after the event is critical and she is comatose, though Yuji and Megumi are led to believe she succumbed to her injuries. She finally awakens during the Shinjuku Showdown, in time to use her Resonance on Sukuna's final finger, allowing Yuji to hit him with a Black Flash.
Maki Zen'in (禪院 真希, Zen'in Maki) is a second year student at Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School. Along with Toge and Panda, she recruits Megumi and Nobara (and later Yuji) to participate in the Sister School Exchange Event with Kyoto Prefectural Jujutsu High School. Maki comes from a prestigious sorcerer clan and is poised to be the next heir as the head's eldest child, but due to her lack of Cursed Energy, she and her twin sister Mai were demoted to being the clan's servants. She later left the clan to attend Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School and become a Jujutsu Sorcerer. Having no Cursed Energy, Maki requires the use of glasses to see Curses and uses a variety of weapons as Cursed Tools. However, being born with a Heavenly Restriction (天与呪縛, Ten'yo Jubaku), she possesses superhuman physical prowess, which more than makes up for her lack of Curse Energy. During the events at Shibuya, she is teamed up with the Zen'in clan head Naobito and later Nanami to dispatch the special grade curse Dagon. After narrowly surviving the curse's Domain Expansion thanks to Megumi barging in with his own, the group is saved by her reanimated cousin Toji Fushiguro. Immediately after however, Jogo appears and burns her entire body, and she only survives thanks to her Heavenly Pact. After the events at Shibuya, she lays waste to her clan, including Naoya Zen'in, in order to gain access to their armory containing weapons useful in the fight against Kenjaku. During this ordeal she becomes even more powerful, which comes with her sister, Mai's sacrifice at the hands of their father Ogi, whom she also kills with her newly gained Split Soul Katana from Mai's remains. She joins the Culling Games as a player in the Sakurajima Colony, and due to her special circumstance of having no cursed energy at all anymore after Mai's death, she is able to freely leave and enter barriers. Noritoshi Kamo from the Kyoto school soon joins her side in the colony, but they are set upon by the special grade cursed spirit created from Naoya Zen'in, who has arrived to avenge his own death at the hands of Maki and her mother. They engage in fierce battle, during which Maki is significantly injured. She is forced to retreat, in order to heal, as Kamo takes it upon himself to hold off Naoya until she can exorcise it, even if it costs his life. During her battle with Naoya's cursed spirit, she is fully awakened with the appearance of Hagane Daido and Rokujushi Muyo, who help completely bring out her potential, surpassing even Toji Fushiguro. During the Shinjuku Showdown, she stands up to Sukuna on several occasions and survives two Black Flashes from the King of Curses after stabbing his heart out, before Miwa and Todo rescue her from his Domain Expansion.
Toge Inumaki (狗巻 棘, Inumaki Toge) is a second year student at Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School who takes part in the Sister School Exchange Event alongside Maki and Panda. Inumaki's Cursed Technique is Cursed Speech (呪言, Jugon). He keeps his mouth covered and speaks only in various ingredients of rice balls. This is due to his cursed power concentrated in his voice, creating various effects against Curses depending on how he speaks and uses his words. During the Shibuya Incident, he is accidentally caught in Sukuna's Domain Expansion while trying to save the residents trapped in the area and loses his left arm. Following Gojo's release, he reunites with his friend Yuta. During the battle against Sukuna in Shinjuku, he records himself using Cursed Speech and Yuta uses the recorder to stall Sukuna's movements, though Inumaki still suffers the feedback of his technique.
Panda (パンダ) is a second year student at Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School who takes part in the Sister School Exchange Event. Although having an appearance of a giant panda, he is actually a unique type of Cursed Corpse created by Masamichi Yaga, the principal of the school, in which not only does Panda have sentience, but grows and matures as he ages. Also unique to him is having three "cores" (the 'heart' of a Cursed Corpse), which he can change back and forth to unlock various abilities namely a Panda, Gorilla and a Triceratops. During the Sister School Event, he defeats and bonds with Mechamaru. After grieving the death of his creator, Masamichi Yaga, Panda joins the Culling Games with Yuji and Megumi in the effort to stop it. Panda engages in a battle with Hajime Kashimo, a resurrected sorcerer from the Heian era, who manages to defeat all of his cores. Only the interference of Kinji Hakari stops Kashimo from killing Panda. After his fight with Hajime Kashimo that resulted in the destruction of his body and his other two cores, Panda appears much smaller than his original size, resembling a panda cub.
Yuta Okkotsu (乙骨 憂太, Okkotsu Yūta) is the protagonist of Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical School (Jujutsu Kaisen 0). Yuta was initially a cursed victim of Special-Grade, haunted by the spirit of his childhood friend, Rika Orimoto. Satoru Gojo took charge of Yuta's case and enrolled him at Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School, where he befriended Maki Zen'in, Toge Inumaki and Panda. After training with Gojo and the other students, Yuta learns to control his Cursed Energy and becomes a skilled swordsman. Even after Rika's curse is lifted, Okkotsu maintains his Special-Grade ranking, so much so that he can beat Suguru Geto, and Gojo has stated that Yuta has the potential to overcome him. Okkotsu's Cursed Technique is Copy (模倣, Kopī), which allows him to use the Cursed Techniques of other sorcerers. In addition, Yuta retains the shikigami Rika; however it is weaker than its appearance in Jujutsu Kaisen 0 because the curse on Rika, the spirit, was lifted. Yuta's great power comes from being a descendant of one of the three great sorcerer clans (which makes him a distant relative to Gojo) and is the reason he cursed Rika when he refused her death at a young age. Yuta is still a sophomore at the institute, studying abroad. He later comes back as the executioner of Yuji Itadori after Gojo had been sealed, though the two soon team up afterwards, in order to rid the world of Kenjaku. He enters the Sandai colony of the Culling Games in order to protect the civilians from sorcerers and gain information on Kenjaku. He successfully defeats multiple very powerful, reincarnated sorcerers, such as Ishigori and Uro. After Gojo is released by Hana Kurusu and Sukuna transfers to Megumi, he begins training with Yuji and Kusakabe, with Ui Ui's soul switching technique. Later on, he also helps Todo fine-tune his technique, which was revived with Binding Vows and a new activation condition. Aided by Todo, he successfully assassinates Kenjaku, after Takaba is able to lower his guard. Though Kenjaku is able to transfer to authority on the merger to Megumi, thus to Sukuna, his death is finalized and Rika then devours his remains, so Yuta could use Kenjaku's technique. Afterwards, he heads to Shinjuku to helps the others face off against Sukuna, joining Yuji. Revealing that Rika also ate Sukuna's final finger, Yuta hits Sukuna with his own technique, Cleave, before also using his Domain Expansion, Authentic Mutual Love (真贋 相愛, Shingan Sōai) inside which infinite blades are imbued with all the Cursed Techniques he had copied, which he can use multiple times, though he does not know beforehand what technique a specific blade contains. While Yuji and Rika fight against Sukuna, he uses several blades, until he finds one imbued with Jacob's Ladder, Angel's Maximum technique. Sukuna is able to repel Yuta and cut him in half. After this, Yuta is barely alive and Rika is able to take him to Shoko's team, when he decides to go forward with his prior agreement with Gojo to use Kenjaku's technique and take over Gojo's corpse to fight Sukuna again, saving Yuji and Todo from the latter's Domain Expansion, by initiating Gojo's. Afterwards, he hits Sukuna with Hollow Purple again and collapses due to technique exhaustion from the Domain clash. Yuta is able to return to his own body shortly after the battle.
Kinji Hakari
Kinji Hakari (秤金次, Hakari Kinji) is a third-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High suspended for clashing with authority. While away from the school, Hakari is running a fight club between sorcerers for money. He has been spoken by Gojo as potentially surpassing him along with Yuji and Yuta, and Yuta also states that Hakari is capable of being stronger than him when he is serious. Following Yuta's advice, Megumi and Yuji seek him out to gain his help against Kenjaku, and soon find him at his illegal fight club. Upon hearing that Gojo has been sealed and Yaga was executed, Hakari agrees to help defeat Kenjaku. He later shows up in the Tokyo No. 2 Colony of the Culling Games, in an attempt to recruit French sorcerer and manga artist, Charles Bernard to their battle against Kenjaku. His innate technique allows him to spontaneously create and manipulate Pachinko machine parts, such as sliding doors. His Domain Expansion, Idle Death Gamble (坐殺 博徒, Zasatsu Bakuto) is a pachinko-machine filled domain, which creates an environment resembling a train station that hosts a game of chance. Hakari's primary goal is to line up three of the same numbers to hit a jackpot, with only a 1/239 chance of doing so. However, hitting the jackpot allows him to enter Unkillable Mode, which grants him a bonus of unlimited cursed energy for four minutes and eleven seconds, the exact duration of the Private Pure Love Train theme song "Admiring You", which plays throughout the round. The limitless cursed energy causes Kinji's body to reflexively use reverse curse technique to automatically heal any injury, making him temporarily unkillable after hitting a jackpot. Additionally, his Cursed Energy is inherently harmful to the touch, making him a particularly dangerous fighter in close combat. Using this technique, he is able to beat the reincarnated sorcerer, Hajime Kashimo after he had gravely injured Panda, forcing him into an alliance. After Gojo's release and subsequent duel with Sukuna, Hakari accepts the job to single-handedly hold Uraume back from joining Sukuna's side.
Kirara Hoshi
Kirara Hoshi (星綺羅羅, Hoshi Kirara) is a third-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High suspended for clashing with authority. While away from the school, Kirara has partnered with Hakari while running his fight club. Their Cursed Technique is Love Rendezvous (星間飛行, Rabu Randebū), a complex technique whose motif is based on the Southern Cross constellation. For someone marked with one star to approach someone marked with another star, they must follow a determined order, or else targets of the same star will attract each other. The order follows the stars from nearest to furthest distance to the Earth: Imai, Acrux, Mimosa, Ginan, and Gacrux. They agree to Megumi and Yuji's request for help, after hearing about everything that transpired at Shibuya and after. Kirara is later outside the barriers of the Culling Game serving as the provider of intel for one group.
Satoru Gojo (五条 悟, Gojō Satoru) is a sorcerer working as a teacher at the Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School. He inherited both the Gojo family's hereditary Cursed Technique, as well as the rare physical trait, the Six Eyes (六眼, Rikugan), which allows Gojo to reduce his cursed energy consumption from technique activation infinitesimally near to nothing, and that he will never run out of cursed energy in a fight as a result and it is heavily implied that Six Eyes allows for the user to perceive the world in terms of mass, speed, energy, and so forth alongside its other effects. His technique, Limitless (無下限, Mukagen), which grants its users nigh-absolute control over space through cursed energy manipulation at an atomic level, resulting in multiple subsequent results and techniques within the overall ability. With the manipulation of space as just the base level of the technique, Limitless has three standard and one "non-standard" form beyond this: Infinity (無限, Mugen), which is the neutral application of Limitless, that can slow anything approaching Gojo down infinitely, thus getting closer, but never reaching him; Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue (術式 順転 蒼, Jutsushiki Junten・Ao), which is the strengthened form of Limitless, behaving like a converging void that pulls nearby objects in and crushes them with force; Cursed Technique Reversal: Red (術式 反転 赫, Jutsushiki Hanten・Aka), which is generated from a Reverse Cursed Technique as opposed to negative cursed energy, also reversing its effect of the Limitless, representing the concept of divergence brought into reality, producing a strong repelling effect rather than an attractive one. Finally, the secret, "non-standard" application of Limitless is Hollow Technique: Purple (虚式 茈, Kyoshiki・Murasaki), which brings the concepts of motion and reversal into reality. Hollow Technique: Purple is created when combining the repulsive forces of Red with the attractive forces of Blue. These violent forces annihilate anything it comes into contact with, ripping apart matter at the molecular scale. Gojo also possesses a Domain Expansion, Unlimited Void (無量空処, Muryōkūsho), which brings the Gojo and his targets inside the Limitless itself, which is an endless void resembling outer space in appearance, with a large black hole, distant galaxies and numerous white patches in the background. Boundless raw information floods into the target's mind, overwhelming them to the point where they're completely immobilized. The complete incapacitation of the target is caused by a phenomenon where the target will be able to see and feel everything while not being able to see or feel anything at the same time. All the actions one has taken in their life is forced upon them infinitely and they can't do anything but die slowly, though this effect does not affect Gojo or anyone he's touching. Even though his title of 'The Strongest' is self-proclaimed, most allies and enemies alike never actually dispute the title and consider him one of the most dangerous people alive. As a result, Gojo is widely respected by sorcerers and greatly influences the sorcery world. He convinces his superiors at the college to keep Yuji Itadori alive until he consumes all of Sukuna's fingers. He teaches Yuji, Megumi Fushiguro, and Nobara Kugisaki. The Special Grade Cursed Spirits ambushed him at Shibuya, and Kenjaku managed to seal him away after he exorcised Hanami. Towards the end of the Culling Games, his students successfully release him from the Prison Realm and he immediately challenges Megumi, Sukuna's current host to a duel on Christmas Eve. Prior to the duel, he also slaughters the higher-ups of the jujutsu sorcerers, so that his students would be protected by the sole remaining elder Gakuganji. After several exchanges, Gojo defeats all of the Ten Shadows that Sukuna used and greatly injures him, but ends up being killed by Sukuna's new World Cutting technique and finds himself talking with Geto and his other late friends. Gojo's corpse is then used by Yuta with Kenjaku's technique, as per their previous agreement.
Kiyotaka Ijichi (伊地知 潔高, Ijichi Kiyotaka) is the assistant principal of Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School. He can create curtains, a technique used to implement a barrier to separate an area from the outside. Nanami revealed that he was once training to be a sorcerer, but for unrevealed reasons, he chose to become a manager instead. He is injured by Shigemo during the events at Shibuya, but Shoko saves him and the two of them later reunite with Gojo after he is unsealed.
Shoko Ieiri (家入 硝子, Ieiri Shoko) is a doctor at Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School and former classmate of Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto. She has proven to be quite a valuable resource, being one of the few people capable of healing others with the Reverse Cursed Technique (反転 術式, Hanten Jutsushiki). Shoko is a rather serious and somber person, wants nothing more than to get her job done, and often has to stop or get in the middle of Gojo to make fun of others. She usually examines dead bodies in the school morgue and does not engage in combat, unlike the other sorcerers. After Ijichi and Ino are severely injured by curse users in Shibuya, she saves their lives, as well as Megumi's following his bout with Shigemo. During the Shinjuku Showdown, she heals many of the combatants injured by Sukuna, with Utahime, Arata and Amai's help. She also helps Yuta transplant his brain into Gojo's corpse with Kenjaku's technique.
Kento Nanami (七海 建人, Nanami Kento) is a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer, an alumnus of Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School, and one of Yuji's mentors. His Cursed Technique is the Ratio Technique (十劃 呪法, Tōkaku Juhō), which can divide any distance on his target into ten and forcibly create a weak spot at the ratio point of seven to three. The target's lines don't have to match up with the target's length or wingspan. Nanami can freely choose which part to divide, including the subjects, head, torso, arms, and legs. This technique is also applicable to non-living objects. Furthermore, Nanami has a Binding Vow with himself, Overtime (時間外労働, Jikangairōdō). This vow limits the amount of cursed energy he can utilize during the time he's officially on the clock working for Jujutsu High to 80-90% of his actual output. Once he goes beyond his normal shift and overtime hours begin, Nanami's exerts 110-120% of his maximum power.
His personality is a stark contrast to Gojo's, being stoic and serious, whereas the latter is more easygoing. As a student, he was close to his classmate Haibara and his upperclassmen Gojo, Geto and Ieiri, but he left Jujutsu high to work as a businessman after being distraught with the life of a jujutsu sorcerer, before being inspired to return. After Yuji's demise and subsequent revival at Sukuna's hands, Gojo asks Nanami to be Yuji's mentor and train him in secret. The two grow close while investigating Mahito and Junpei's case and he shows gratitude to Yuji when the latter saves him from Mahito's Domain Expansion. He was killed in front of Yuji in the Shibuya Incident by Mahito after Jogo scorched his body. His Cursed Technique was imbued was into his blunt blade cursed tool, which Ino later wields in battle against Sukuna.
Akari Nitta (新田明, Nitta Akari) is one of the managers working for Jujutsu High School. She was assigned to accompany the first years in their mission to defeat the Yasohachi Bridge curse and during the Shibuya Incident, she is saved by Nobara and Nanami from Shigemo.
Atsuya Kusakabe (日下部篤也, Kusakabe Atsuya) is a faculty member of Tokyo Jujutsu School. He teaches the second-years at Tokyo Jujutsu School. Although he does not possess an innate technique, he reached the levels of a grade 1 sorcerer using only his katana and excellent swordsmanship, specializing the New Shadow Style: Simple Domain (シン 陰流・簡易 領域, Shin Kageryū: Kan'i Ryōiki): the anti-domain technique that neutralizes a Domain Expansion's barrier and disables its sure-hit effect. He has special moves that he can use with his blade, such as the Batto Sword Drawing (抜刀), fast sword drawing technique that coats Kusakabe's blade in cursed energy and rotates it around the blade to increase its drawing speed dramatically; and Evening Moon Sword Drawing (居合・夕月, Iai・Yūzuki), which activates a Simple Domain, inside which Kusakabe's cursed energy output is increased while cursed techniques that intrude into it are slightly weakened. By incorporating an original program into the Simple Domain, Kusakabe can automatically intercept anything that enters the Simple Domain with his katana. It is implied that he is the mentor of Kasumi Miwa as she has the same skillset as him. While in Shibuya, he witnesses the terrifying strength Sukuna possesses and is initially turned against Itadori. With Yaga and the rest of the students' support, he accepts Yuji and joins the group effort against Kenjaku and later Sukuna. During the Shinjuku Showdown, he faces off against Sukuna as well, and inflicts great damage with his Simple Domain expertise, before being critically injured and rescued by Ui Ui and Miguel.
Masamichi Yaga (夜蛾 正道, Yaga Masamichi) is the Principal of Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School, the creator/father of Panda, and the teacher of Gojo, Geto, and Ieiri. His Cursed Technique, Cursed Corpse (呪骸, Juga), allows him to animate and control dolls called cursed corpses. His technique has immense potential, as he could have created a cursed corpse army and control it for his own designs if he wanted to, this fact being kept secret from the higher-ups by both him and Gakuganji. Yaga accepts Yuji Itadori in the institute only after being convinced that he knows exactly what he is getting into and supports Gojo in opposing the superiors who want Itadori dead. Most of his appearances involve him having to deal with their escapades. After the events that transpire at Shibuya on October 31, the higher-ups hold him responsible for the carnage, and he is sentenced to death, which Gakuganji carries out.
Aoi Todo (東堂 葵, Tōdō Aoi) is a third-year Sorcerer of Kyoto Prefectural Jujutsu High School. He is quite solid in hand-to-hand combat, defeating five Grade 1 Cursed Spirits and 1 Special Grade during an attack in Kyoto. He can apply a flash coating of Cursed Energy to his body for defence. Todo also dislikes anything boring due to his mundane past as a result of his incredible strength. He usually asks his opponent what his type is in women. He believes Yuji Itadori to be his brother and that they went to the same middle school. He also taught Yuji how to control his Cursed Energy. He helps Yuji fight Mahito during the Shibuya Incident, though he loses an arm, which prevents him from ever using his technique, Boogie Woogie (不義 遊戯, Bugi Ugi), again. Eventually, Todo is able to revive his technique using a Binding Vow to change its activation condition from clapping, to hitting a vibraslap attached to his severed arm. This actually greatly augments his switching abilities, as he can swap multiple targets over fifty times per second, equivalent to the vibration within the instrument. During the Shinjuku Showdown, he first helps Takaba and Yuta eliminate Kenjaku, by switching the latter two. Later on, he joins Yuji in battle against Sukuna, raising his spirits after the loss of Choso. Not even Sukuna is capable of adapting to Boogie Woogie, as he is overwhelmed by the amount of switching, which makes Sukuna resort to a Domain Expansion to counter Todo and Yuji. Luckily, Yuta in Gojo's body steps in to block Sukuna's domain with his own. Following the domain clash and a Hollow Purple to hurt Sukuna, Todo supports Yuji in his assault more, before switching in Angel to use Jacob's Ladder again. While Sukuna narrowly manages to reach Angel's level, Todo jumps in front of them to take Sukuna's Black Flash, earning the respect of the King of Curses as he is knocked out.

Compared to Maki, who possesses no Cursed Energy at all, Mai possesses a Cursed Technique, albeit possessing a low amount of Cursed Energy. An expert markswoman, she primarily uses a revolver infused with Cursed Energy to take out Curses or other Sorcerers. Her technique, which is kept as a secret for strategic purposes, is Construction (構築術式, Kōchiku Jutsushiki), allows her to materialize objects out of Cursed Energy. The process exhausts her quickly. After Gojo is sealed at Shibuya, she is fatally wounded by her father and in her last moments used the most of her remaining Cursed Energy to create a replica of Toji Fushiguro's Split Soul Katana, to which she gave to Maki to destroy the Zen'in Clan.

She often calls herself "useless Miwa". During the Shibuya Incident, she learns of Muta's actions and subsequent demise at the hands of Mahito, and mourns him after realizing, that she had feelings for him as well. After the Shibuya Incident, she appears at one of the Culling Game colonies and later saves Maki from Sukuna's Domain Expansion as well during the Shinjuku Showdown.

His daily life and sorcerer's missions are undertaken by an assortment of Cursed Corpses puppets he uses for combat and communication, each of them named Ultimate Mechamaru (究極 メカ丸, Arutimetto Mekamaru). Secretly, he had a crush on his classmate, Kasumi Miwa. It was revealed that he was the mole working with the cursed spirits Gojo and Utahime suspected. He formed a Binding Vow with Mahito to heal him of his condition, but turned on him and Kenjaku, revealing that he only used the cursed spirit for his ability to heal him and soon proceeds to attack them. Though he managed to push Mahito far, he soon met his end at the cursed spirit's hands. He later redeemed himself posthumously by helping Yuji in the events of the Shibuya Incident.
Momo Nishimiya (西宮 桃, Nishimiya Momo) is a third year Sorcerer of Kyoto Prefectural Jujutsu High. She is a Semi-Grade 2 sorcerer, her Cursed Technique is Tool Manipulation (付喪 操術, Tsukumo Sōjutsu) which allows her to telekinetically levitate her broom, similar to those used by witches.

After the Shibuya Incident, Kenjaku, having resumed his role as the original Noritoshi Kamo, exiles Kamo from his clan, who then joins Maki in one of the Culling Games colonies along with Momo. While patrolling the colony with Maki, the two of them are attacked by the special grade cursed spirit born from Naoya Zen'in and his desire for revenge against Maki. When the spirit manages to wound Maki, Kamo takes it upon himself to hold Naoya off until she can heal up and exorcise it, even at the cost of his own life, should it come to it. Although he survives this order and later helps Choso teach Yuji Blood Manipulation techniques, he decides to remove himself from the battle against Kenjaku and Sukuna, preferring to find his family.
Arata Nitta (新田 新, Nitta Arata) is the only first-year student of Kyoto Prefectural Jujutsu High. He is the younger brother of Akari Nitta. His Cursed Technique allows him to prevent injuries from getting worse, though he cannot heal. Unlike Shoko Ieiri, he can only stop bleeding and reduce pain.

Yoshinobu Gakuganji (楽巌寺 嘉伸, Gakuganji Yoshinobu) is the principal of Kyoto Prefectural Jujutsu High School and one of the elders pushing for Itadori's execution. He uses a guitar to fire off Cursed Energy by amplifying the melody he plays. After the events that transpire at Shibuya, he executes Masamichi Yaga, whom the elders blamed for the tragedy. He later uses his technique to amplify Gojo during his duel with Sukuna.
Utahime Iori (庵 歌姫, Iori Utahime) is a Semi-Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer and one of the teachers of Kyoto Prefectural Jujutsu High School. While she is usually very polite and reserved, the mere sight of Gojo is enough to make her blood boil, as he often teases her for being weak. Secretly, she works with Gojo to find out who the mole in the school is. Her investigation reveals that Muta was the mole, though he has already been killed. Her Cursed Technique, Solo Forbidden Area (単独 禁区, Soro Soro Kinku), temporarily amplifies the cursed energy of any willing sorcerer within range, including herself. This technique's effect can be elevated into a ritual using incantations, hand signs, dance, and music. By including all of these steps, the technique's effectiveness can be raised to 120 percent, which she then applies to Gojo during his fight against Sukuna in Shinjuku, and later to Shoko so she could heal others better.
Takuma Ino (猪野 琢真, Ino Takuma) is an alumnus of Jujutsu School and the protege of Nanami Kento. He is a Grade 2 sorcerer, waiting for his promotion to Grade 1. Ino looks up to Nanami as a role model and even got emotional when Nanami relies on him to take care of Itadori and Fushiguro. His Cursed Technique is Auspicious Beasts Summon (来訪瑞獣, Raihō Zuijū), which allows him, when his face is covered, to become a spiritual medium to summon the four Auspicious Beasts: Kaichi, Reiki, Kirin, and Ryu. He is eager to fight to prove his skills, but was incapacitated by Curse Users during the Shibuya Incident. During the Shinjuku Showdown, Ino participates in the group battle against Sukuna, using Nanami's cursed tool, which was imbued with his Ratio technique.
Mei Mei (冥冥) is an alumnus of Jujutsu School. Her Cursed Technique is Black Bird Manipulation (黒鳥操術, Kokuchō Sōjutsu), which allows her to control and share her vision with crows. Knowing her technique is weak, she strove to become a powerful sorcerer and was able to become a grade 1 sorcerer for being a capable fighter. Her weapon of choice is a battle-axe. Mei Mei is known to have questionable morals and a materialistic personality, and she only cares about which side has more money which she openly admits. During Halloween and Shibuya, she and her brother Ui Ui run into Kenjaku after splitting from Itadori, and after dispatching a special grade cursed spirit called the Smallpox Deity, are forced to escape by Kenjaku. Mei Mei exchanges her fortune into foreign currency and lays low in Malaysia before eventually returning with her brother to eliminate Kenjaku and Sukuna.
Yuki Tsukumo (九十九 由基, Tsukumo Yuki) is one of the four special grade sorcerers and a former Star Plasma Vessel.

She was a mentor to Aoi Todo, who she scouted one day while traveling. She aims for a world with no Cursed Spirits, a belief that differs from Jujutsu School. Yuki has a habit of asking men she meets what type of girls they like, a habit Todo adopted. After the Shibuya Incident, she shows up to help, volunteering to guard Master Tengen. Towards the end of the Culling Games, when Kenjaku shows up to absorb Tengen, she and Choso go all-out to force Kenjaku to reveal their own Curse Technique and not rely on Geto's, though Tengen warns her not to use her own Domain Expansion against Kenjaku. After an arduous battle though, she succumbs to her injuries, but not without allowing Choso to escape with information on Kenjaku beforehand.
Yu Haibara (灰原雄, Haibara Yu) is a student from Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College. He was the only classmate and friend of Kento Nanami during his time as a Jujutsu Student until he was killed in action during a mission in 2007. In contrast to Nanami, he was a bubbly and energetic person. Geto mentioned that his friendliness could even lead him to danger. Haibara's death was one of the reasons that led Suguru Geto to become a Curse User. Haibara appeared once more to Nanami while he was at death's door in Shibuya.
Ui Ui (憂憂) is the younger brother of Mei Mei, whom he greatly admires. As a member of a sorcerer clan, he possesses great skills as a sorcerer even in his young age. Ui Ui is deeply loyal to his sister, allowing himself to be put in dangerous situations for her. Ui Ui's Cursed Technique is the spatial transference of "targets" that allows him to teleport himself and others with him to locations and people he has marked. His technique also allowed him to act as a liaison along with Maki Zenin during the Culling Game, and allowed the jujutsu sorcerers to recover the bodies of deceased or downed sorcerers during the fight with Sukuna. Also, if Ui Ui's target is a person, the technique targets their body and soul altogether. His technique is unable to target only the soul unless given permission, which allows him to switch the souls of his marked targets without changing the shapes of the bodies, unlike Mahito's Idle Transfiguration, though this application of Ui Ui's technique can only be used twice per person in a month.
Tengen
Tengen (天元) is an immortal Jujutsu Sorcerer that remains within the Tombs of the Star Corridor at all times to reinforce the barriers that protect both Jujutsu High locations. Tengen is responsible for preaching the foundation of Jujutsu Sorcerers and spawning religious groups that worship them as their deity. They have no problems with aging, but they must restore their body every five hundred years by merging with a specific human (referred to as a "Star Plasma Vessel") to prevent their technique from making it evolve beyond humanity and into a potentially dangerous state. Tengen lies at the heart of Kenjaku's plan, as Kenjaku plans to merge Tengen with all of humanity, forcing the evolution of humanity. After Yuki and Choso's defeat at the hands of Kenjaku, Tengen is seized by the latter and forcefully made part of his merger, the end goal of the Culling Games. Following Kenjaku's demise, Tengen's soul is transferred to Sukuna.
Zen'in Clan
The Zen'in Clan (禪院家, Zenin Ke) is one of the Three Big Sorcerer Families, along with the Gojo Clan and the Kamo Clan. It is a clan known to have problematic ideals, only recognizing male family members with powerful techniques, otherwise they are rejected and not even considered as human beings.

Naobito Zen'in (禪院 直毘人, Zen'in Naobito) is the head of the Zen'in family and a Special Grade 1 sorcerer, whose Cursed Technique is Projection Sorcery (投射呪法, Tōsha Juhō), which traces movement at twenty-four frames per second and traps anyone touched by the user, who disobeys that rule inside a frame for one second. This technique made Naobito the fastest sorcerer after Gojo. Naobito is always seen drinking, even in serious situations like in Shibuya. Though when it comes to a fight, he is ecstatic especially facing a powerful opponent. He was confident in his abilities enough to fight the Special Grade curse, Dagon - even while they were trapped in his Domain Expansion.

Naoya looks down on the weak, and only sees women as objects - he was particularly harassing his cousin, Maki Zen'in when they were younger, believing her attitude to be inappropriate for a woman. He began hunting Yuji, when he was wanted for execution, but relented once Yuta arrived to execute Itadori. Later, he was defeated by Maki during her onslaught and finished off by her non-sorcerer mother which led Naoya to become a Vengeful Cursed Spirit. Not being able to accept his defeat against Maki, the Vengeful Cursed Spirit of Naoya entered the Culling Games as a player. His Cursed Technique is proven to be more powerful with his new body and is now capable of flight. Later on, he used his Domain Expansion, Time Cell Moon Palace (時胞月宮殿, Jihō Gekkyūden) to finish off Maki, but to her special circumstances, she was unaffected by it and he was slain by her once more.
Ogi Zen'in
Ogi Zen'in (禪院扇, Zen'in Ōgi) is a Special Grade-1 sorcerer, who is the father of Mai and Maki Zen'in, and the brother of Naobito Zen'in. He believed he could have become the head of the Zen'in Clan if it were not for his daughters. He sees them as failures for not having talent in Jujutsu and even does not hesitate to attack his own children fatally. His Cursed Technique is Blazing Courage (焦眉之赳, Shōbi no Kyū), which allows the user to eject flames from their weapon.

Ryomen Sukuna (両面宿儺, Ryōmen Sukuna, "Double-Faced Spectre") is an ancient sorcerer who has incarnated in the present day, being held as the undisputed 'King of Curses' due to his raw power and malevolence. According to legend, he was a four-armed, two-faced demon god resembling a human in Jujutsu's golden age, the Heian period, though in reality was an actual human (though mutated) sorcerer. Enemy sorcerers of his time could not kill him, and eventually, Sukuna converted himself into a special-grade cursed object, a set of twenty indestructible fingers preserved in grave wax, to be able to traverse the ages and incarnate into suitable vessels should a finger be consumed. His Cursed Technique, Shrine (御厨子, Mizushi) allows him to launch two types of slashes at various ranges to cut through objects and space, as well as unleash destructive flames afterward. The first type is Dismantle (解, Kai), which is normally used for inanimate objects, however it can also be used against cursed spirits and sorcerers to great effectiveness; and the second type of slashes is Cleave (捌, Hachi), which can adjust itself depending on the target's toughness and cursed energy level to cut them down in one fell swoop, though Sukuna must make physical contact with the target in order to activate Cleave. Finally, Divine Flame (竈, Kamino) with which he can create and manipulate fire for long-range attacks by chanting Open (フーガ, Fūga). This technique can only be used after he performs Dismantle and Cleave. His Domain Expansion, Malevolent Shrine (伏魔 御厨子, Fukuma Mizushi) creates a Buddhist shrine decorated with skulls, within it everything is relentlessly slashed with either Dismantle or Cleave, depending on its cursed energy level. Malevolent Shrine has a unique trait; it doesn't create a separate space using a barrier and is instead manifested into the surrounding airspace. By allowing an escape route, a binding vow is formed which vastly increases the guaranteed hit's effective area with a maximum radius of nearly 200 meters. Sukuna is the "guest" of the body of Yuji Itadori, who agrees to let himself be killed to avoid further massacres. He has expressed notable interest in Megumi Fushiguro's abilities and plans to regain his power and body. Whenever Sukuna possesses Yuji, characteristic tattoos form on Yuji's body and two extra eyes open on Itadori's cheeks. Satoru Gojo claims he can beat a fully-restored Sukuna, but the latter has expressed a desire to kill him, and his power is such that all other Cursed Spirits are attempting to restore him. When Yuji is fed ten of Sukuna's fingers at once at Shibuya, Sukuna comes out and commits mass murder at Shibuya, while fighting Mahoraga. During the Culling Games, Sukuna seizes his opportunity by ripping off Yuji's pinky finger and force feeding it to Megumi allowing Sukana to transfer himself to possess Fushiguro's body, becoming his new vessel. He then kills Megumi's sister, Tsumiki, while possessed by Yorozu, a Heian era sorcerer obsessed with him. After Gojo is released by his students, Sukuna is challenged by Gojo to a duel on Christmas Eve, during which he is greatly pushed to the edge, but ends up victorious and kills Gojo. Afterwards, he reincarnates fully in Megumi's body and faces off against Kashimo, whom he dispatches with ease. Then, Yuji, Higuruma, Choso, Kusakabe, Ino, Maki, Yuta, Rika, Miguel, Larue, Miwa, Todo and Angel all join in to fight him. Though not without losses, the sorcerers slowly wear Sukuna down, with Choso giving his life to support Yuji as Yuta returns in Gojo's body. Following the Domain Clash, he gets hit by Hollow Purple as well due to Inumaki's interference, after which Yuji continues to beat him down, before Todo brings in Angel to hit him with another Jacob's Ladder. Sukuna is barely able to climb up to Angel's level to hit them with a Black Flash, but Todo takes the hit and he knocks all of them away. However, he soon gets damaged again by Yuji and then the latter unleashes his Domain Expansion on Sukuna. Sukuna attempts to respond with his own, but Megumi within him is finally inspired to resist and he is then hit by Nobara's Resonance, as he realizes that Yuta copied his technique from Yuji's finger and his last finger is still used by the sorcerers. Stunned by Nobara, he is gravely injured from Yuji's final Black Flash, and Megumi frees himself, reducing Sukuna to a blob. After denying a final chance from Yuji, Sukuna disintegrates away.
Kenjaku
Kenjaku (羂索) orchestrated the Shibuya Incident and the Culling Game, in which he plans on recreating the Heian era, the Golden Age of Sorcery, in modern Japan. At the beginning of the series, he appears as the deceased Suguru Geto - which many have believed he was resurrected at first. In reality, Kenjaku is a mysterious ancient sorcerer who had taken over the bodies of many sorcerers in many eras, among them being the ancestor Noritoshi Kamo whose body he used to make the Cursed Womb: Death Paintings. Kenjaku worked along with Mahito's group to carry out his plans. However, he did not see the curses as allies and had ulterior motives, to use Geto's Cursed Spirit Manipulation Technique on them, which he acquired in possession of his body. Kenjaku's 'true form' is a brain with a mouth, allowing him to transfer himself into different hosts of his choice which can be recognized with the horizontal stitches around their head. His ability to transfer hosts allows him to retain the Cursed Techniques of some of the bodies they have inhabited, including Suguru Geto's Cursed Spirit Manipulation and Kaori Itadori's Antigravity technique. During the Culling Games, he approaches Sasaki, Yuji's friend and classmate at his previous school and thanks her for taking care of "their" son. A while after the start of the Culling Games, he resumes his identity as Noritoshi Kamo and head of the clan, exiling the current Kamo. He then goes to try to absorb Tengen, but Yuki Tsukumo and Choso go all out in a fight to force him into submission. He is pushed significantly far and is forced to use their Domain Expansion, Womb Profusion (胎蔵遍野, Taizō Hen'ya) which takes the form of a giant pillar made up of cursed spirits. It is an open barrier type domain, similar to Malevolent Shrine. The effect of this domain is unclear, though its guaranteed-hit severely injured Yuki Tsukumo, a special grade jujutsu sorcerer, after which Kenjaku successfully kills Yuki, while Choso escapes with the knowledge they gained on Kenjaku, as well as all of Yuki's research on souls. Kenjaku then leaves to eliminate Culling Game players in the Lake Gosho Colony in preparation of activating the merger. After dispatching many players, including Hazenoki, Takaba faces off against him in a lengthy reality-warped battle, during which Kenjaku experiences extreme joy, which he has not felt for a long time, allowing Yuta - with Todo's help - to catch Kenjaku off-guard and decapitate him. Before completely dying, he adds a new rule to the Culling Game, that Megumi Fushiguro has the right to start the merger, knowing that Sukuna is in his body. After Yuta kills him, his remains are also consumed by Rika, which then allows Yuta to use Kenjaku's brain transfer technique to possess Gojo's corpse to fight Sukuna. After the battle, Geto is seen with Takaba, but whether it is Kenjaku in his body or Geto back in his own is unclear
Uraume (裏梅) is a mysterious Curse User aligned with Kenjaku that has existed for a thousand years. Their Curse Technique, Ice Formation (氷凝 呪法, Hikori Juhō) allows them to materialize and manipulate ice. Their abilities are powerful enough to freeze a large group of people and is even capable of using Reverse Curse Technique to heal themselves. Although a human, Sukuna regards them as an ally because of their delicious cooking. They are the one, who sent Kumiya and Shigemo to the Sister School Event as distractions, and also send Shigemo to kill assistant managers during the Shibuya Incident. During the Shinjuku Showdown, Hakari alone faces off against Uraume to separate them from Sukuna, while he faces off against all the other sorcerers. Upon Sukuna's death, Uraume ends their own life.
Haruta Shigemo (重面 春太, Shigemo Haruta) is a weak Curse User whose Cursed Technique is Miracles (奇跡, Kiseki), which erases daily little miracles (such as seeing a clock have the same digit across all spaces) along with memories of it from Haruta's life and stores them, which is shown by the marks under his eyes. These stored miracles are released when Haruta's life is in danger, altering his luck to ensure he survives would-be fatal blows. He was sent on the mission to the Sister School Event as a distraction by Uraume, and later to murder Jujutsu School Managers in Shibuya, starting with stabbing Ijichi. After killing multiple managers and fighting Nobara, he is found by Nanami, who savagely beats him down for what he did to Ijichi and the other managers. He narrowly escapes and attacks the weakened Megumi, who resorts to summoning Mahoraga on him, attracting Sukuna's attention. After Sukuna's defeat of Mahoraga, he accidentally runs into his Domain Expansion and is cut apart.
Juzo Kumiya (組屋 鞣造, Kumiya Juzo) is a Curse User who is keen on murdering people and using their body parts for his handicrafts and tools. Uraume hired him for their mission during the Goodwill Event. He has a workshop of many powerful cursed tools. Dragon-Bone is considered his masterpiece, and is later obtained by Maki Zenin. His limbs are destroyed by Gojo and he is captured and interrogated by the Jujutsu School Managers.
Jiro Awasaka (粟坂 二良, Awasaka Jirō) and Ogami (オガミ) are a pair of old Curse Users hired by Kenjaku to raise curtains in Shibuya. They feared Gojo, claiming their freedom was taken from them because of his Six Eyes and Limitless Technique. Ogami possesses Séance Technique (降霊術, Kōrei Jutsu), and uses her grandson as a vessel to summon someone and use their abilities, while Awasaka has the Inverse Technique (あべこべ, Abekobe), which makes attacks targeting him weaker the stronger they are and vice versa.
Niji Ebina (蛯名 仁次, Ebina Niji) is a powerful Curse User that Kenjaku hired in Shibuya. He patrolled the subway and ran into Mei Mei's group but was ultimately defeated by her.
Kokun (コークン, Kōkun) and Bayer (バイエル, Baieru) are two soldiers from a faction of Curse Users called 'Q'. They were tasked in assassinating Rika Amanai to stop her from merging with Tengen but were ultimately defeated by Gojo and Geto.
Suguru Geto (夏油 傑, Getō Suguru) is a Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer and former classmate of Gojo and Shoko, and thus a student of Yaga. His Cursed Technique, Cursed Spirit Manipulation (呪霊 操術, Jurei Sōjutsu) allows him to absorb and control naturally occurring cursed spirits and use them for combat, though if the cursed spirits are stronger than Grade 2, they need to be beaten first, or if they have a contracted master-subordinate relationship, their master must be killed first. His maximum technique, Maximum: Uzumaki (極ノ番 うずまき, Gokunoban・Uzumaki) allows Geto to combine a massive number of collected curses into one powerful attack, after which, the cursed techniques of cursed spirits that are Grade 1 and above, get extracted and he would then be able to use them once, though Geto is not the one to realize this technique extraction side effect of his maximum technique. During his time at Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High, Geto was an excellent student, as well as considered to be the strongest along with Gojo. After the Star Plasma Vessel mission failed, he developed a strong hatred for people without magical powers to the point of wanting to exterminate them all to give life to a world of sorcerers only, an act that, according to him, it would prevent the creation of cursed spirits and consequently end the cycle in which all sorcerers are trapped. He is later confirmed to have been severely wounded by Yuta and finished off by Gojo at the end of Volume 0, leaving his body free to be possessed by the ancient evil sorcerer, Kenjaku, who would then take on Geto's identity. After the final battle, he is seen alive with Takaba, although whether he has returned to his own body or if Kenjaku is still in possession in it is unknown.
Nanako Hasaba (枷場 菜々子, Hasaba Nanako) is a young cursed user that Geto took under his wing. After seeing the twin girls being mistreated and locked in a cage by their village, Geto's hatred for non-sorcerers grew stronger as he went mad and cursed all of the villagers. Her technique allows her to manipulate photographed subjects captured in her phone's camera. She cares deeply for Geto and is extremely angry at Kenjaku for taking over his body. Sukuna kills her in the events of the Shibuya Incident. Her death, along with many other innocent civilians, traumatized Yuji.
Mimiko Hasaba (枷場 美々子, Hasaba Mimiko) is the twin sister of Nanako. She always carries a cursed doll around, which is involved with her technique. She cares deeply for Geto and is extremely angry at Kenjaku for taking over his body. Sukuna kills her in the events of the Shibuya Incident. Her death, along with many other innocent civilians, traumatized Yuji.
Miguel Oduor (ミゲル・オドゥオール, Migeru Odouōru) is a Curse User from Kenya. He was an ally of Geto, but after his death, the group parted ways. Gojo recruits Miguel to train Yuta Okkotsu in Africa. His weapon of choice is the special-grade cursed tool that belonged to his clan, the Black Rope. It nullifies the effects of any Cursed Technique. Besides being proficient with Curse Tool, he has a Cursed Technique called Prayer Song (祈祷の歌, Hakuna Rāna), which helps his body gain a rhythm in order to enhance it and better dodge attacks. Due to some convincing from his student Yuta and Gojo, Miguel also joins in the battle against Sukuna, saving Ui Ui and Kusakabe, while also distracting Sukuna, so Yuji and Choso could take advantage of it.
Larue (ラルゥ, Larū) is a Curse User whose Cursed Technique, Heart Catch (人心掌握, Hāto Kyatchi), allows him to grab his target using a large hand made from Cursed Energy, and he also has a passive, long-distance ability Cutie Honey (こっちを向いて, Kyūtīhanī), which allows Larue to "grab" the attention of his target from afar, forcibly diverting the target's line of sight and focus towards Larue, thus creating a distraction that his allies can exploit. While affected, the target's pupils change into heart shapes. The imaginary hand will restore itself even if it is destroyed, but 1/10 of the damage will be redirected back to Larue. He was an ally of Geto, but after his death the group parted ways. Larue later works alongside Yuki Tsukumo and later helps Miguel fight Sukuna, after Yuta convinces them.

Cursed Spirits
Spiritual beings manifested from Cursed Energy as a result of negative energy that flow out of humans in the forms of monsters, ghosts (yūrei and onryō), and yōkai. They bring harm to humanity and are consequently the primary targets of Jujutsu Sorcerers.
Rika Orimoto (折本 里香, Orimoto Rika), known as the Queen of Curses, was once a normal young girl that turned into a Special Grade Vengeful Cursed Spirit after dying from a car accident to which Yuta witnessed. The two were childhood friends and promised each other they would get married when they got older with a silver band that was once Rika's grandmother's ring. Even as a Curse Spirit, Rika's love for Yuta was still strong enough that she would manifest to protect him from danger. In Jujutsu Kaisen 0, Rika contains an almost infinite amount of Cursed Energy that Yuta can harness, and also shows great feats of physical strength. Because of these abilities, Suguru Geto sought Rika as a target for his Curse Spirit Manipulation Technique as he believes she is the key to forging the world he envisions. After the curse on Rika was lifted, she bids Yuta goodbye and departs to the afterlife. Yuta is still able to use the powers and abilities of the shikigami Rika, albeit on a weaker level.
Mahito (真人) is a high-grade humanoid curse born from human hatred, whose goal is to exterminate the human race. He is sadistic, immature, and loves to play with human emotions, even when his life is in danger. He believes life has no value or meaning; therefore, everyone should do what they want. This mentality seems to stem from Mahito's Cursed Technique Idle Transfiguration (無為 転変, Mui Tenpen) with which he can perceive and manipulate souls, which makes him see the soul (and, by extension, the heart) as nothing more than an object. His cursed technique allows him to manipulate the soul of himself and others by changing the body's shape, thus enabling him to transfigure the bodies of his victims by turning them into disfigured creatures at his service. During his battle with Yuji and Nanami after he murdered Junpei, he is pushed to the limit by the duo and awakens his Domain Expansion, Self-Embodiment of Perfection (自閉 円頓裹, Jihei Endonka), which removes the need to touch their opponent, as their souls are immediately touched and ready to be transfigured, while inside the domain. During the Shibuya Incident, he murders Kōkichi Muta and Kento Nanami, and severely disfigures Nobara Kugisaki and Aoi Todo, though with the latter two's support, Yuji is able to beat him into submission. At the end of the incident, however, Kenjaku absorbs him through Geto's Curse Technique and uses Mahito's technique on thousands of people he marked ahead of time, to transfigure their brains and activating their techniques like Mahito did Junpei's, in preparation for the Culling Game.
Jogo (漏瑚, Jōgo) is a Special Grade Cursed Spirit born from the negative emotions associated with volcanoes. Using his cursed power, he can create mini volcanoes, which generate and control extremely powerful fire eruptions, capable of destroying everything in their path. He also has a Domain Expansion, Coffin of the Iron Mountain (蓋棺 鉄囲山, Gaikan Tecchisen), which constructs the inside of a volcano, that he can manipulate at will. Even an average sorcerer would burn up on impact. His Maximum technique, Maximum: Meteor (極ノの番 隕, Goku no ban: In), with which he generates a gigantic flaming meteor that he could hurl at his target. Jogo has immense pride as a cursed spirit and a passionate hatred of humans, convinced that cursed spirits are the true form of humanity as they represent pure truths of life such as hatred, while human beings feign so many positive emotions that they are false beings that should be exterminated. His pride makes him numb toward humans and casually kills them, but it also leads to overconfidence. Despite warnings that his entire group could not kill Satoru, Jogo attempted to defeat him in a single fight and was completely overwhelmed. During the Shibuya Incident, he tries to convince the rampaging Sukuna to join their ranks after severely burning Nanami and Maki and killing Naobito Zen'in. Nevertheless, Sukuna utilizes his own fire-based attacks and effortlessly exterminates the cursed spirit, though not before congratulating him for fighting and dying with dignity.
Dagon (陀艮) is an octopus-like Special Grade Cursed Spirit born from the negative emotions associated with the ocean. Out of the four Special Grade Cursed Spirits, Dagon appears to be the weakest and the least hostile, but as it turns out, he was only a Cursed Womb. Geto and the Special Grades use his Innate Domain as the meeting grounds for their briefings. He fully developed into a form similar to Cthulhu in Shibuya after eating hundreds of people in the subway. He deeply cares for Hanami, Jogo and Mahito, treating them as family and was enraged when hearing of Hanami's death. His cursed power allows him to manifest water out of his mouth, completely flooding the subways of Shibuya, but what makes him an even deadlier opponent is his Domain Expansion Horizon of the Captivating Skandha (蕩蘊 平線, Tau'un Heisen), which traps his victims on a tropical beach swarming with carnivorous fish shikigami. He was able to gravely wound two Grade 1 Sorcerers, Naobito Zen'in and Kento Nanami, but was later exorcised by a reanimated Toji Fushiguro.
Hanami (花御) is a Special Grade Cursed Spirit born of humanity's negative treatment towards the forests—to which Gojo reveals that Hanami may be more closer to a natural spirit than a cursed spirit. They believe humans have gone too long in ruining Earth's environment and want to allow the planet to shine again without human cruelty. Their Cursed Technique allows them to create plants that they can manipulate, including draining their life force and storing it in the flower on his left shoulder as Cursed Energy. They also possess a Domain Expansion called Shining Sea of Growing Branches (朶頤 光海, Dai Kōkai), which they normally use in tandem with their fully charged left arm, but the use of this against Yuji and Todo was prevented by Gojo. During the Shibuya Incident, they are a part of the team of Special Grades that ambush Gojo, though Gojo exorcises them by crushing them into a corner with Infinity before he can be sealed.
Locust Guy (蝗GUY, Ko-Guy) is a Cursed Spirit working for Mahito's group and was tasked in guarding the commissioned curtains around Shibuya.

At some point in time, Suguru Geto was able to capture and use her with his Curse Spirit Manipulation Technique. She was used by Geto to fight against Toji Fushiguro during the Star Plasma Vessel mission but was exorcised after her innate domain to trap the sorcerer killer failed.
Cursed Womb: Death Paintings
Small human-like fetuses with the mixed blood of both a human and a Cursed Spirit, created by Kenjaku 150 years ago after forcing a woman with a special genetic composition to bear half-human, half-curse children from having nine pregnancies and nine abortions. When ingested by any human, a Death Painting Womb can incarnate into a full half-human half-Cursed Spirit hybrid capable of using Jujutsu, which can be anyone, even a human with zero innate talent or the potential to become a sorcerer. Fully incarnated Death Painting Wombs are considered on the level of a Special-Grade Cursed spirit. Due to their flesh and blood bodies, these beings can be seen by normal humans, and even sorcerers can have trouble telling whether they are cursed spirits or curse users. Unlike cursed spirits, their bodies do not disappear after death.
Choso (脹相, Chōsō) is the oldest of the nine cursed spirit children born from their human mother. He takes the eldest brother's job very seriously and dearly loves his younger brothers. His Cursed Technique, Blood Manipulation (赤血 操術, Sekketsu Sōjutsu) is also inherited from his parent, Kenjaku being in Noritoshi Kamo's body at the time of his conception. Unlike Noritoshi Kamo and other Kamo clan members, he is especially adept at using the Cursed Technique as his half-curse physiology removes the limitations of a human sorcerer's body, who use their own blood for the technique, while Choso can convert his cursed energy into blood, resulting in limitless amounts of blood to manipulate, and no danger of fatigue or blood loss. Once working alongside Kenjaku and fighting against Gojo alongside Hanami, Jogo and Mahito in Shibuya on October 31, in order to avenge his brothers Eso and Kechizu, he later hunts for Yuji Itadori and Nobara Kugisaki. Later in the night, he finds the former and engages in a gruesome battle that puts Itadori close to death, though he stops himself, after realizing he was being manipulated into committing fratricide by Kenjaku and becomes an ally to Yuji, because the latter is his half-brother through Kenjaku's various host bodies. After Yuji's death sentence is reinstated because of the Shibuya Incident, he goes into hiding with Yuji, until Yuta and Naoya Zen'in find them. While Okkotsu defeats him and kills Yuji, he is relived as this was a ruse to fool Naoya and the higher-ups, allowing Yuji to live in secret. While Yuji, Yuta, Megumi and the others go into the Culling Game colonies, he stays behind with Yuki Tsukumo to protect Tengen from Kenjaku, were they to approach. During their brief time together, Choso and Yuki bond as well, before Kenjaku's arrival. Due to Tengen's advice, Yuki reneges on using her Domain against Kenjaku and the two of them are forced to use all of their other techniques to push Kenjaku, though Kenjaku uses their own Domain Expansion in the battle, and Choso barely escapes with his life and Yuki's research on the soul, as the latter meets her demise and Kenjaku takes Tengen. After Gojo's release from the Prison Realm, Choso and Kamo help teach Blood Manipulation to Yuji as well after the latter consumes the remaining Death Paintings with Choso's permission and he also helps Yuji understand the basics of how to use the Reverse Cursed Technique. During the Shinjuku Showdown, he is a key player in the fight against the reincarnated Sukuna, working close in tandem with Yuji, though he eventually sacrifices himself to protect Yuji from Sukuna's Divine Flame after the King of Curses is pushed to use a makeshift Domain Expansion.
Eso (壊相, Esō) is the second brother among the Death Paintings. Unlike Choso who looks completely human, he has a grotesque face on his back as Kugisaki mistook him for a Cursed Spirit or Cursed User. His Cursed Technique is the Rot Technique (蝕爛腐術, Shokuran Fujutsu). Targets of this technique decompose merely in minutes once they are exposed to the poisonous blood of the Death Paintings. Itadori kills him with Kugisaki's help, though he empathizes with the brothers.
Kechizu (血塗) is the third brother. Unlike his older brothers, Choso and Eso who looks human, Kechizu has turquoise skin with a hunchback, claws, and two mouths with jagged teeth. He has a small face on the upper part of his head and a giant mouth just beneath it, his eyes as well as both his mouth have dark blood dripping from it as Yuji and his friends mistook him for a Cursed Spirit.

Not long after the start of the Culling Games, Kenjaku approaches Sasaki and thanks her for being friends with their "son".

He first encounters Curses when he and his bullies were at a local movie theatre, when Mahito appears from the shadows, and kills Junpei's bullies, thereby Junpei following Mahito at the back of the theatre. By then, Junpei was interested in Mahito's beliefs of purifying malevolent humans, but he was manipulated into believing that everyone wished him harm and they should die. Mahito transfigured his brain, so he could access his Cursed Technique, which summoned a jellyfish-like shikigami, which is poisonous to the touch. He meets Yuji and the two become quick friends, but given Mahito's manipulation, he fights Yuji because of his beliefs.

Towards the end, she admits she wanted to live her life more as a normal teenager to Geto instead of merging with Tengen. Moments later, Toji shot her in the head, instantly killing her and completing the assassination. The consequences of Riko's death would emanate in the present day as Tengen, who has not merged with a Star Plasma Vessel which he was supposed to in 2006, has evolved into a non-human that could become an enemy of humanity.

He defeated Gojo and Geto on their first encounter, bringing Gojo to the brink of death.

He later spent his points to add a new rule to the game so he could find Sukuna. After encountering and overpowering Panda in Tokyo Colony No.2, Hakari Kinji joined the fight to his aid. After an exhausting fight, Kinji manages to overwhelm Kashimo and force him into cooperation. His cursed energy has the properties of an electric current, putting his body in a constant state of electrification, which he can also discharge as lightning strikes. This makes Hajime's cursed energy-reinforced physical attacks impossible to defend against, as his hits shock the opponent upon impact. His actual Cursed Technique, Mythical Beast Amber (幻獣琥珀, Genjū Kohaku) reconstructs flesh in order to manifest phenomena of electricity, which he converts from cursed energy. His body far surpasses the realm of humans when using his technique, but it can only be used once before his flesh collapses. He finally uses his Cursed Technique to face off against the reincarnated Sukuna in Shinjuku, but he is quickly dispatched by Sukuna after.
Hagane Daido
Hagane Daido (大道 鋼, Daidō Hagane) is a reincarnated swordsman that Kamo and Maki unexpectedly allied with in Sakurajima Colony. Hagane is a lethal fighter with a sword and is able to fight the Vengeful Spirit of Naoya, an opponent Maki was struggling with despite wielding no Cursed Energy. Similarly, he cannot see Cursed Spirits but is able to "see everything else" - this led Maki to ponder what makes her different from both Hagane and Toji.
Rokujushi Miyo
Rokujushi Miyo (三代 六十四, Miyo Rokujūshi) is a reincarnated sorcerer that Kamo and Maki unexpectedly allied with in Sakurajima Colony. Miyo is a sumo enthusiast and is visually similar to a Kappa. Despite his eccentric personality, Rokujushi acted as a sincere mentor for Maki (in contrast to Gojo and Kusakabe) and helped her reach her full potential in their brief sumo match.
Yorozu
Yorozu (万) is a jujutsu sorcerer from Aizu during the Heian Era who was acknowledged by the Fujiwara clan and madly obsessed with Sukuna, who was reincarnated in Tsumiki's body for the Culling Games. Her Cursed Technique, Construction (構築術式, Kōchiku Jutsushiki) allows her re-create any substance she recognized except for special cursed tools. Creating something from nothing uses a lot of cursed energy, making this technique energy-inefficient compared to other Cursed Techniques. Her Domain Expansion is called Threefold Affliction (三重疾苦, Shikkushikku Shikku) appears as mostly blank space, although with several giant, organic structures floating within it that resemble the disembodied brains and ganglia of insects. The sure-hit effect of the domain applies to Yorozu's constructed items, particularly her True Sphere, hence destroying anything caught in the domain instantly should Yorozu will it. After Sukuna takes over Megumi's body, she gifts Sukuna a Cursed Tool and aims to fight him, in order to prove how much she loves him, but Sukuna completely discards her feelings as she kills her along with Tsumiki, using the Ten Shadows.
