Gojo and Yuta Lost! Jujutsu Kaisen's Strongest Character TOP10 Crowned: The Undisputed Power Ceiling, Without a Rival in a Thousand Years

The popular manga 'Jujutsu Kaisen' brings together various factions including jujutsu sorcerers, cursed spirits, and curse users, all clashing through cursed energy, techniques, domain expansions, and Heavenly Restrictions. The debate over who the strongest character is has long been a hot topic among fans. A Japanese polling site has released the 'Jujutsu Kaisen Character Strength Ranking,' featuring 117 characters in total. Sukuna emerged as the champion with 94.9 points, while Gojo ranked second with 94.4 points—just 0.5 points behind. Below is the top 10 list of the strongest characters in 'Jujutsu Kaisen,' along with fan evaluations and discussions.

Jujutsu Kaisen Strongest Character #10: Maki Zenin (77.7 points) Maki Zenin is a second-year student at Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High. Though officially ranked as a Grade 4 jujutsu sorcerer, her Heavenly Restriction grants her physical abilities far beyond ordinary sorcerers. After awakening through the Zenin family incident, Maki completely abandoned cursed energy, elevating her physical strength, perception, and speed to levels comparable to Toji Fushiguro. In the later arcs, she fought alongside Yuji Itadori against Sukuna, who had taken over Megumi Fushiguro’s body. She not only kept up with Sukuna’s speed but also landed damaging blows—so much so that Sukuna became intrigued by her pure physical strength.

Many fans believe that post-awakening Maki has nearly reached Toji’s level, with one comment stating: 'The only differences between Maki and Toji are physique and combat experience.' Others argue she still lags behind Toji in terms of cursed tool usage, tactical judgment, and real-time adaptability, making 10th place a fair ranking. However, her durability under heavy attacks and her courage facing Sukuna have earned her praise as 'powerful and cool.'

Jujutsu Kaisen Strongest Character #9: Ryomen Sukuna (78.6 points) Ryomen Sukuna is a powerful sorcerer from a past era, born with cursed energy that carries electrical properties. Even without a Domain Expansion, he can accumulate electric charge during close combat and unleash near-inevitable lightning strikes. He once fought Kento Nanami in his 'Great Culling' state—where cursed energy flows endlessly—from land into the sea, repeatedly pushing Nanami into life-threatening situations. Against Sukuna, he activated a one-time-use technique, enhancing his combat performance through electromagnetic wave analysis and physical optimization. However, his body disintegrated after the technique ended.

Fans describe Sukuna as 'one of the strongest without a Domain Expansion,' noting that while most characters are still analyzing abilities, he has already completed his charge buildup. If his lightning hits the head or vital organs, characters without Reverse Cursed Technique are likely defeated instantly. Fans praise him as 'a true warrior of a bygone era,' capable of gaining the upper hand even against Nanami. Though he didn’t defeat Sukuna, forcing the latter to fight seriously proves his one-on-one combat strength is among the highest in the series.

Jujutsu Kaisen Strongest Character #8: Rika Orimoto (80.8 points) Rika Orimoto was Yuta Okkotsu’s childhood friend. She died in a traffic accident and later became a Special Grade Cursed Spirit attached to Yuta. She possesses immense, nearly immeasurable cursed energy, capable of protecting Yuta, storing cursed tools, and supporting in battle—earning her the title 'Queen of Curses.' Even Geto Suguru believes that obtaining Rika’s power could allow someone to overthrow the entire jujutsu world.

Fans widely agree that the title 'Queen of Curses' alone speaks volumes about her strength. Some comment that Geto dared to launch the 'Culling Game' because he believed capturing Rika would guarantee victory. Others praise her as 'cute, strong, and cool.' Her intense protective desire toward Yuta is seen as the driving force behind her continuous power surges, combining terrifying appearance, immense strength, and a heartbreaking backstory.

Jujutsu Kaisen Strongest Character #7: Kokichi Muta (81.1 points) Kokichi Muta is one of Japan’s few Special Grade jujutsu sorcerers, voiced by Noriko Hidaka. Her technique allows her to apply 'imaginary mass' to herself and her shikigami, Hōrin, drastically increasing the weight of her attacks without significantly reducing speed. At maximum capacity, she can even create black holes, demonstrating destructive power capable of threatening the surrounding environment. She can also use Reverse Cursed Technique to heal injuries, combining close combat, shikigami support, and self-recovery.

Many fans believe ranking her at #7 is too low, with some saying: 'If she can create black holes, she could easily be at the top.' Fans point out she may be one of the most powerful in raw firepower. Her loss to Kenjaku was mainly due to technique incompatibility and the opponent’s thorough preparation. Others note her defense and stability aren’t as strong as Gojo’s, but her ultimate technique can nearly ensure mutual destruction with powerful enemies. Thus, aside from the very top tier, few characters can overpower her in direct combat.

Jujutsu Kaisen Strongest Character #6: Suguru Geto (81.5 points) Suguru Geto was recognized as a Special Grade sorcerer even during his time at Jujutsu High, alongside Gojo. His technique, 'Cursed Spirit Manipulation,' allows him to use subdued cursed spirits as his own, gaining access to a wide variety of abilities. During the Culling Game, he commanded over 4,000 cursed spirits, deploying those specialized in defense, offense, cursed tool storage, or domain countermeasures depending on the situation. His ultimate move, 'Vortex,' condenses numerous cursed spirits into a high-powered attack.

Fans believe Geto’s greatest strength lies in his ability to exceed his own limits through the number and combination of cursed spirits. Some note he is highly intelligent, tactically skilled, and possesses strong hand-to-hand combat abilities—capable of simultaneously fighting Yuta and Rika. Others analyze that if he hadn’t split his cursed spirits between Shinjuku and Kyoto during the Culling Game, and instead focused all forces into 'Vortex,' the outcome might have been different. Despite losing to Toji Fushiguro in his youth, he is still widely regarded as one of the strongest characters.

Jujutsu Kaisen Strongest Character #5: Toji Fushiguro (81.9 points) Toji Fushiguro hails from the Zenin family, one of the Three Great Houses of jujutsu, yet was born without cursed energy or the ability to use techniques, leading to lifelong discrimination. However, his complete abandonment of cursed energy through Heavenly Restriction grants him superhuman strength, speed, senses, and physical durability. Though he cannot see cursed spirits, he detects them through his enhanced senses and fights using special cursed tools like the Tengen, Shikigami Blade, and Ten Thousand Chains.

Toji once defeated a pre-awakening Gojo through meticulous planning and easily overpowered a young Suguru Geto, who was already a Special Grade sorcerer. During the Shibuya Incident, he infiltrated Dagon’s domain using pure physical strength and swiftly defeated this Special Grade cursed spirit, who had previously overwhelmed multiple Grade 1 sorcerers. Fans praise him as 'incredibly strong despite having no cursed energy,' noting his strategy, martial arts, and cursed tool mastery are all top-tier. Some argue that simply forcing Gojo to the brink of death is enough to make him one of the most threatening characters in the series.

Jujutsu Kaisen Strongest Character #4: Eight-Sworded异戒 Divine General Makara (84.9 points) Makara is the most powerful shikigami in the Ten Shadows Technique. No previous user has ever successfully tamed it—even the former head of the Gojo family died in a mutual destruction battle with it. The magic array on Makara’s head analyzes attacks it has received and gradually adapts. Whether it’s physical attacks, techniques, or special abilities, if it isn’t defeated before adaptation completes, the battle becomes increasingly difficult.

Fans call Makara the 'strongest shikigami,' stating that defeating it requires either overwhelming firepower before adaptation or a continuous barrage to end the fight instantly. Some note Makara’s strength, speed, and physical attributes are sufficient to fight Sukuna at multi-finger power levels, placing it among the top-tier fighters. Others believe it still has room for further growth—if it inherits abilities from other shikigami, its threat level would become even more terrifying. Whether it can adapt to the Limitless Technique remains a hotly debated topic among readers.

Jujutsu Kaisen Strongest Character #3: Yuta Okkotsu (85.4 points) Yuta Okkotsu, from Miyagi Prefecture, is a second-year student at Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High and one of Japan’s few Special Grade sorcerers. He possesses immense, seemingly bottomless cursed energy, capable of channeling it into a katana for close combat or using Reverse Cursed Technique to heal himself and others. Through Rika, he can store and replenish cursed tools, and even copy others’ techniques, making his combat style highly versatile.
