Ryomen Sukuna is the villain that can be identified on sight in the ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ (Jujutsu Kaisen) series. In stark contrast to his pride and enthusiasm for killing humans, Yuji Itadori’s innocent but powerful presence is visible. Even though this big villain was already shown in the episode, as the story progresses, so do many more villains in Jujutsu Kaisen’s world. If the King of Curses wants to maintain his kingdom even after getting trapped in Yuji’s body, then there is no doubt that he has made this move very thoughtfully.
Eso and Kechizu
Even though Yuji and Nobara defeated Eso and Kechizu in the end, this fight gave both of them every opportunity to show their strength. The movement, coordination, and constant action in this fight was so tremendous that it is counted among the most memorable anime battles of the last several years. These two are not too heavy in terms of strength, yet Eso and Kechizu are cursed spirits of a special status. For this reason, the forces of these JJK villains are dangerous and murderous from birth. Eso can poison enemies by drawing blood from his back. When he runs his ‘Wing King’ technique, both his agility and attack distance suddenly increase significantly. On the other hand, Kechizu spreads flower-like marks on the enemies’ bodies with his rotting (decay) strength, which gradually begins to weaken and eliminate them from the inside.
Dagon
When Dagon was first shown, he was an unfinished cursed form with very little speech. But during the Shibuya incident, his suppressed anger comes out completely as he discovers the death of his partner Hanami. Within moments of being reborn, Dagon begins to fight against Nanami, Naobito, and Maki more wisely and cunningly than ever before, without becoming fully powerful.
Moreover, the strength of Dagon’s ‘Domain Expansion’ greatly increases the heroes’ difficulties, because they have to withstand constant attacks as soon as they enter it. Dagon is not just a water-playing curse, but he can divert water at his own will and even summon a large sea snake to attack enemies. However, as shown, Toji Fushiguro defeats this villain very quickly, making it clear that Dagon was not as dangerous as some of the other villains in this story.
Hanami
Hanami didn’t get much of a chance to show his full strength until recent episodes of ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’. Yuji Itadori and Aoi Todo fight a tremendous and memorable battle directly against Hanami when the high school team’s battle deteriorates during Sukuna’s finger-stealing scheme.
It is not easy for anyone to understand Todo’s cursed technique ‘Boogie Woogie’ amidst the commotion of the battle. But Hanami, due to his strong physique and patience, quickly tries again and again to figure out the method and find the answer. Not only that, he also deliberately pretends to retreat in front of Gojo to avoid being caught by his ‘Six Eyes’. As Hanami himself says, they are not stupid enough to confront “Gojo Satoru”, because the strength of Gojo and his almost limitless abilities make him the most dangerous.
Jogo
Jogo was initially considered the leader of the Wise Cursed Spirits, with the motive of turning humans into “real” occupants of their world. But as the story progresses, he is seen working with the distorted-minded Jujutsu Kaisen villain Mahito. Despite being short-tempered and arrogant, these things do not weaken his decisions or his thinking power.
Jogo seems perhaps the weakest of the villains introduced in the first season of Jujutsu Kaisen, but he has experience that the rest of his teammates don’t have. Excluding Suguru Geto, Jogo is the one who best understands Jujutsu magic among the current anime villains. Most importantly, Jogo’s last attack almost kills Sukuna.
Hajime Kashimo
Hajime Kashimo, one of the big players in the game of deadly magicians, is a living example of the thinking of old-time magicians, who live just to fight. Wanting to confront the most powerful, he has made a habit of judging and thinking about situations even in the midst of a fight. Looking at the battles so far, it seems that Kashimo is a simple but very aggressive person, who does not care much about his life.
But if you look carefully, there is a killing intention and tremendous accuracy hidden in his every move. In his battle with Hakari, he very quickly deciphers Hakari’s cursed third-year technique and its rules. Because Hakari’s technique is one of the most entrenched forces of Jujutsu Kaisen, it makes Kashimo’s wisdom even more special. However, his pride as a warrior often comes in his way, and his insistence on not adopting a losing mindset unnecessarily forces him to take great risks.
Mahoraga
According to the tradition of shōnen stories, Megumi Fushiguro will one day learn to defeat Mahoraga, the eight-handed sword-wielding divine general, who is considered the most powerful shikigami yet. But for now, there are probably only two people in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen who can beat it: Gojo and Sukuna.
Indeed, in season 2, Sukuna faces Mahoraga directly, and the collision becomes one of the most bombastic battles of the entire series. Compared to the rest of the enemies, Mahoraga adapts himself to the situation very quickly and either turns or endures Sukuna’s attacks. The only way for Sukuna to defeat him is to make full use of his most dangerous cursed forces and destructive powers like fire.
Suguru Geto
Suguru Geto is one of those magicians who has also earned the respect of a person like Satoru Gojo. His cursed strength allows him to subdue cursed spirits by swallowing them, in part just as Megumi Fushiguro’s powers work. Geto’s character is quite complicated. He uses the cursed spirits in his intrigues by twisting them to his own accord and can summon several curses at once if needed.
In terms of strength, this scary special-grade magician Geto from Jujutsu Kaisen is counted among the most dangerous people after Gojo. His plan involves diversionary tricks to eliminate Rika and achieve his true cause. This all seems right at first, but later revelations from Kenjaku show that the plan was actually a big mistake.
Mahito
One of the scariest cursed techniques shown in Jujutsu Kaisen is ‘Idle Transfiguration’. With the help of this power, Mahito can change the shape of the human soul and bend their body as he wants, creating strange and scary creatures, which erase the line between humans and curses.
He can easily play with the hidden desires of people and also shields himself according to them after clashing with strong opponents like Todo. Furthermore, Mahito is one of the select curses that can create a ‘Domain Expansion’. Had Sukuna not intervened, Mahito would have defeated both Yuji and Grade 1 sorcerer Nanami. Fans have already started comparing this Jujutsu Kaisen villain to Tomura Shigaraki from My Hero Academia.
Toji Fushiguro
Toji Fushiguro is a different character, featured in Gojo’s past arc, and is covered in the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen. He is assigned by a religious organization, ‘the Time Vessel Association’, to assassinate the new Star Plasma Vessel, Riko Amanai.
The biggest obstacle in his path during this mission is a young Gojo and his ‘Six Eyes’ ability. Because of his past experiences with the Zenin clan, Toji knows very well who he has to confront and when to remain calm. Throughout the arc, he sends dangerous hunters one after another after Gojo, causing Gojo to get tired. As soon as Gojo is no longer fully alert, the “Sorcerer Killer” Toji attacks, leaving Gojo helpless and in a state where he could even lose his life.
Sukuna
Sukuna, the King of Curses, is the most powerful of the cursed spirits, as clearly seen in his recent battle with Gojo in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga. Waking up after nearly a thousand years of sleep, he takes no time in rekindling his habit of devastation and killing. Even though Sukuna is arrogant and ruthless, it would be a huge mistake to take him for granted in Jujutsu’s world, as his ‘Domain Expansion’ counts among the most dangerous forces ever.
Even with Yuji’s body not fully under control, Sukuna remains a major headache for sorcerers. If the King of Curses remains untouched even when trapped inside Yuji’s body, his strength will have no limits when he is completely free.
