Jujutsu Kaisen: Strongest Domain Expansions, Ranked

There’s a new “Team 7” in town! Yuji Itadori and Jujutsu High have embarked on an unpredictable journey to defeat the King of Curses. And with the rich cast of heroes, villains, and everything in between, it’s no wonder the anime has received such acclaim.

Jujutsu Kaisen dominated anime charts earning “Anime of the Year” at the 2021 Crunchyroll Anime Awards and MyAnimeList’s “Most Popular Anime of 2020.” Ryomen Sukuna even took home Crunchyroll’s “Best Antagonist” prize.

The first season of the breakout hit recently aired its finale so let’s jump right in and revisit the 5 domain expansions of our beloved sorcerers and cursed spirits from weakest to strongest.

5 Megumi Fushiguro’s Chimera Shadow Garden

Megumi’s Chimera Shadow Garden is lowest on the list (for now) because when his domain expansion is first revealed, he is a 2nd-grade sorcerer and the technique is still incomplete. But with the right mindset, his domain expansion is easily able to exorcise a special grade.

Additionally, Megumi is a descendant of the Zenin clan, one of the 3 major sorcerer families and he possesses the sacred Ten Shadows Technique, which can only be inherited and allows him to summon ten different shikigami. Megumi is also able to store sacred weapons in his shadows, which proves invaluable in his fights.

Megumi likely possesses more potential than any other character (outside Itadori). In the “Cursed Womb” arcs, he is praised for his innate abilities by both Sukuna who is the greatest cursed spirit, and Gojo who is the strongest jujutsu sorcerer.

4 Jogo’s Coffin of the Iron Curtain

Jogo’s domain expansion lands as the second weakest of the series thus far. It is an extremely powerful technique that summons a gigantic volcano incinerating any average target in an instant.

However, while Jogo is a special grade cursed spirit, his domain expansion has little effect on Yuji and Gojo and is quickly overwhelmed. Jogo is eager and impatient to fight Gojo, which ultimately leads to his defeat. But this makes him the only cursed spirit thus far to have faced Gojo directly and survived.

Jogo is also one of the more intelligent cursed spirits. In his initial entrance into the series, he is plotting to revive Sukuna and remove Gojo from the picture. If this scheme is successful, who needs a domain expansion anyway?

3 Mahito’s Self-Embodiment of Perfection

In Mahito’s fight against Yuji and Nanami, fans got to witness his growth in real-time culminating with the release of his domain expansion. Mahito is already more dangerous than your average special grade cursed spirit as with his touch he can alter his target’s soul.

Mahito emerges as third on this list in spite of being a newer and more immature cursed spirit. While younger and less experienced than Jogo, Mahito is an unregistered Special Grade cursed spirit and assessed to possess the power of at least three of Sukuna’s fingers.

Even before his domain expansion, Mahito’s natural ability is a one-hit knockout, which makes his domain expansion incredibly powerful. If not for Yuji’s intervention, Mahito’s domain expansion would have easily killed Nanami who is a Grade 1 sorcerer.

2 Sukuna’s Malevolent Shrine

As the King of all Curses, Sukuna enters the series without competitors. In fact, other cursed spirits’ strengths are perceived in terms of numbers of Sukuna’s fingers which only demonstrates his overwhelming power. When Mahito touches Yuji and inadvertently Sukuna, he is nearly killed. He has superior abilities and power over all other curses and most sorcerers.

Sukuna was originally a human sorcerer who was so powerful that he was thought to be a demon. All of the sorcerers of the time when Sukuna lived had to combine their strength in order to defeat him but Sukuna’s power was so resistant that he was reborn as a cursed spirit and his body was too durable to be destroyed.

Mahito and Jogo spend the first season plotting to get on Sukuna’s good side and return all of his fingers. In the first cursed womb battle, Sukuna reveals his domain expansion and instantly defeats the special grade cursed spirit that overwhelmed Yuji and Megumi.

1 Gojo Satoru’s Unlimited Void

Gojo topping the list is neither surprising nor debatable. He is introduced in the series as “the strongest” and later confidently boasts that defeating a fully-revived Sukuna would be “a little draining.” Throughout the season, every intelligent cursed spirit is advised to avoid Gojo.

Like Megumi, Gojo possesses several inherited techniques such as Six Eyes, which allows his cursed energy usage to be near-infinite, and Limitless, which gives him control over space. In addition to these innate abilities, Gojo was also born with high intellect and superior strength, speed, and reflexes.

In its reveal, Unlimited Void is so powerful that it renders the cursed spirit Jogo to a state of complete paralysis. And at the time, based on his sheer cursed energy Jogo was estimated to be stronger than the-then Sukuna. The king of sorcery fights leaves much to be desired.
