This feature contains spoilers for the end of Jujutsu Kaisen. The final chapter can be read on the Shōnen Jump website.
Jujutsu Kaisen has finally come to an end after 200+ chapters. The shonen followed Yuji Itadori, who was quickly thrust into the intense battle between humanity and curses known as Jujutsu. With complicated techniques and a large cast of characters, the series has always focused on who is the strongest. For a very long time, that title was held by Satoru Gojo and Ryomen Sukuna. However, both of those sorcerers of the past have passed on, leaving only modern-day sorcerers behind.
Of the surviving cast, which isn't many thanks to Jujutsu Kaisen's large death count, a select few have received significant upgrades that have boosted their power exponentially, with some even gaining Domain Expansions and Innate Cursed Techniques. While other sorcerers have remained stagnant in their strength, or in the case of characters like Nobara and Megumi lacked the proper screentime to show their new strength, these ten were pivotal fighters during the battle with Sukuna and, as a result, have been thrust into the higher echelons of Jujutsu strength.
10 Takuma Ino Carries Nanami's Will
Introduced in Episode 12, "To You Someday"
Although Takuma Ino is regarded as a Grade 2 Sorcerer, he has the potential to be a Semi-Grade 1 Sorcerer.
ABILITIES
EXPLANATION
Curse Technique: Auspicious Beasts Summon
When his face is hidden by his mask, he becomes a spirit medium. Allowing him to summon four auspicious beasts:
Kaichi A horn-projectile. Won't stop until it hits its target
Reiki Cursed water that covers Ino and protects him from danger
Kirin Nullifies Ino's sense of pain
Ryu Serpentine-Like Dragon
Anti-Domain Technique
New Shadow Style: Simple Domain: Disables a domain's guaranteed hit by neutralizing its barrier.
Cursed Tool
Nanami's Blunt Sword: Imbued with Nanami's curse technique, Ino is able to enhance the power of his strike by dividing his target with lines and hitting the weak spot at the ratio of seven to three.
Takuma Ino is a genuine person who was a close associate of Nanami. He was applauded as a Grade 2 Sorcerer for his expert combat skills, especially in hand-to-hand combat. His curse technique also made him a powerful threat. Nanami constantly stated that Ino could be a Semi-Grade 1 Sorcerer at any moment, but Ino would hold himself back due to a lack of confidence. However, his lack of confidence doesn't stop Ino from tackling challenges, like when he was one of the sorcerers who went up against a true-form Sukuna.
In the Shinjuku Showdown, Ino proved his strength time and time again by taking blows from Sukuna, doing damage to Sukuna through the use of his Ryu technique, and inheriting Nanami's cursed tool, the Blunt Sword. As one of the surviving members of the Shinjuku Showdown and a man who seems dedicated to doing what's right, Ino would likely return to being a Jujutsu sorcerer, and with an anti-domain technique and Semi-Grade 1 skills, he'll likely be one of the strongest around.
9 Takaba Could Rival Them All if He Knew His Strength
Introduced in Chapter 146, "About the Culling Game"
Close
It's currently unknown if Takaba remained being a Jujutsu Sorcerer though his skills have surely remained.
ABILITIES
EXPLANATION
Cursed Energy Capacity
Takaba boasts an intensely large amount of cursed energy.
Curse Technique: Comedian
When Takaba thinks of something he's certain will be funny, reality warps itself to make it happen.
Takaba was a sorcerer who came to be created during the Culling Games. Which makes him a vital member of the protagonist's plan to defeat Kenjaku. Takaba has a personality not fit for combat and even a tough time being a comedian, his actual dream, but his cursed technique makes Takaba so intensely powerful. Comedian allows Takaba to warp reality at will if he thinks something is funny. For example, if Takaba thought it'd be funny that his opponent couldn't speak unless he was rhyming, no matter what his opponent does or thinks or believes, reality would make it so that they can only speak in rhymes.
Comedian as a curse technique rivals even Satoru Gojo, but the only issue is that Takaba doesn't know how his technique works. Nobody does, except for Kenjaku. While Takaba has impressive combat strength, great speed, and a curse technique that would make him nearly unbeatable, considering that Takaba never uses his technique for combat, he likely wouldn't be able to fight some of the higher opponents on this list. The day Takaba learns the specific intricacies of his abilities would likely make him the strongest sorcerer in the world.
8 Mei Mei Works for Money and Money Only
Introduced in Episode 17, "Kyoto Sister School Goodwill Event - Team Battle, Part 3"

Jujutsu Kaisen Creator Reveals Why He Still Hasn't Killed Off Mei Mei
Jujutsu Kaisen's Gege Akutami reveals why Mei Mei and other characters are still alive while fan favorites like Nanami and Gojo have been killed off.
Regarded as a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer
ABILITIES
EXPLANATION
Cursed Energy Reinforcement
Able to use her cursed energy to refine her physical body, therefore making her a powerful hand-to-hand combatant.
Cursed Technique: Black Bird Manipulation
Mei Mei's can imbue crows with cursed energy and control them. She can control multiple birds and from a great distance.
By acting on a binding vow, Mei Mei can kamikaze one of her birds for a devastating attack.
Mei Mei was introduced as a unique Grade 1 Sorcerer, acting as a freelancer rather than linking to any organization like Jujutsu Tech. This made her an agent of free will, and audiences could never gauge her loyalties. Fans quickly decided that she wasn't someone to trust or to like after it was revealed that she and her brother Ui Ui have a bizarre relationship. Despite this, Mei Mei remained one of the stronger allies the team had, though she very rarely got her own hands dirty considering payment was rarely on the line.
Her skills with her crows make her a deadly Jujutsu Sorcerer; even Gojo himself stated she was strong. Her crows give her a range that other sorcerers can't get through normally, while up-close she can be devastating with the Great Axe under her control. Her overpowering personality was seen in her fight with Niji Ebina, a cursed spirit user who was brutally killed by Mei Mei. Mei Mei's weaknesses come from her lack of a domain expansion, which many sorcerers see as their trump card. It's also unknown if she, too, has an Anti-Domain technique like the other sorcerers who went up against Sukuna.
7 Kusakabe Is the Strongest Grade 1
Introduced in Jujutsu Kaisen 0: The Movie
Close
Regarded as a Grade 1 Sorcerer - Now the head of the Shadow Style Clan
ABILITIES
EXPLANATION
Master Swordsman
Master of New Shadow swordsmanship
Anti-Domain Technique
New Shadow Style: Simple Domain: Disables a domain's guaranteed hit by neutralizing its barrier.
Batto Sword Drawing
A sword drawing technique that coats Kusakabe's blade in CE and rotates it around the blade to increase its drawing speed.
Evening Moon Sword Drawing
Used inside a Simple Domain, it increases Kusakabe's cursed energy output while decreasing techniques that intrude into.
Hazy Moon
Recreates a broken blade with cursed energy.
Kusakabe lacks an innate curse technique. While for others, this would make him relatively weak and even forgettable, Kusakabe could breach the ranks of Grade 1 Sorcerer through sheer skill alone. Using the New Shadow Style and impressive battle intellect allowed him to keep up with the intense battle between Gojo and Sukuna. When tossed into the fray, Kusakabe could even fight Sukuna 1 on 1 when he was the strongest sorcerer left standing during the battle.
The prominent sorcerers, like Gojo and Nanami, consider Kusakabe the strongest of the Grade 1 Sorcerers. Noting that his kindness, above all else, makes him so impressive. Though he shows plenty of cowardice, he steps up when needed to protect his students. That kindness can only take him so far, as Kusakabe can't punch too far above his weight class with no cursed technique and no domain expansion.
6 Todo's Boogie Woogie Makes Him Unpredictable
Introduced in Episode 8, "Boring"
Close
Regarded as Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer with an IQ of over 530,000. He has a record of 1 Black Flash hit.
ABILITIES
EXPLANATION
Cursed Energy Manipulation
Has masterful control of Cursed Energy allowing him to decide how it flows throughout his body. This makes his own CE difficult to read.
Cursed Energy Reinforcement
Increases his already impressive strength with the usage of CE reinforcement.
Cursed Technique:Boogie Woogie
Aoi is able to switch the positions of any object or person imbued with cursed energy as long as its in the range of his clapped hands. After losing his hand, this condition was changed to the hit of a vibraslap, allowing him to do 50 swaps per second.
Anti-Domain Technique
New Shadow Style: Simple Domain: Disables a domain's guaranteed hit by neutralizing its barrier.
Todo looks and acts like a muscle-headed man of pure insanity, but underneath all that muscle and bravado, he is not only wise but intelligent. A man so intelligent that Boogie Woogie in his arsenal makes him one of the strongest sorcerers a cursed spirit has ever faced. He may not have a domain expansion, but Todo's Boogie Woogie places him leagues above his peers at the Kyoto school and even on the same footing as some of the adult Grade 1 sorcerers.
Todo's power may only grow as the years progress. He went against a Special Grade curse like Mahito without batting an eye. At the same time, other sorcerers like Kusakabe showed their worries. He may already have contention for being the strongest Grade 1 Sorcerer. Still, his character has had a few solo fights to determine how far his strength can go, seemingly working best in a tag-team scenario.
5 Higuruma, the Man With the Potential to Satoru Gojo
Introduced in Chapter 158, "Kogane "

Jujutsu Kaisen: Is Higuruma Really as Talented as Gojo?
In a battle against Higuruma, Sukuna compared the talent of the new sorcerer to Gojo Satoru, the world's strongest. But do the pair match up equally?

Domain Expansion
Deadly Sentencing:Manifests a small courtroom surrounded by guillotines, does not have a guaranteed hit, but it negates all violence inside the domain until Judgeman decides a verdict. If guilty, the opponent loses their ability to control cursed energy.
Higuruma joins the Culling Game and comes out swinging with one of the most unique techniques in the series. Judgeman and Deadly Sentencing place their opponent in a courtroom and force them to undergo a trial against a powerful Shikigami. Through this technique, Higuruma can also gain the mighty Executioner's Sword that can kill anyone it strikes in one blow. In two weeks, Higuruma became one of the top Culling Game players in the entire game.
Higuruma's talent was truly exemplified when he went up against Sukuna. Amid the battle, Higuruma is able to understand the reverse curse technique, making him a special brand of sorcerer. The story then declares that Higuruma's talent equals Satoru Gojo, the previous strongest. It's the only experience that keeps Higuruma from being at the top.
4 Always Bet on Hakari
Introduced in Chapter 153, "Underground Fight Club"
Close
Suspended from Jujutsu Tech for clashing with authority.
ABILITIES

Immense Luck
Able to easily rely on luck during combat.

Unkillable Mode
For four minutes and eleven seconds, Hakari is immortal. As his cursed energy becomes limitless, he is able to reflexively use reverse cursed technique to automatically heal any injury.
Hakari is teased as a mighty sorcerer. Gojo says he's one of the sorcerers that the higher-ups wouldn't be able to control or contain because he'd become so much stronger than the rest. Fans are finally introduced to Hakari before the Culling Games and learn how powerful he was as he went up against the most dangerous sorcerer at the time, Kashimo.
Hakari's physical strength is impressive, being an expert hand-to-hand combatant, even putting Yuji in a life-threatening situation through his brutal beat down. Hakari's able to go up against Kashimo as well, thanks to the jackpot effect of his domain. This domain makes Hakari an unbreachable wall that Uraume couldn't even get past, even though they were Sukuna's favored ally. Kashimo and Uraume fought for the entirety of the Shinjuku Showdown, keeping Uraume away from Sukuna and eventually winning. Hakari's only setback is that he had to stall out most of his major enemies and couldn't take down Uraume on their own.
3 Maki Is the Butcher of the Zenin Clan
Introduced in Episode 5, "Fearsome Womb Part 2"

Jujutsu Kaisen: What Are Heavenly Restrictions?
Jujutsu Kaisen has some amazing abilities, some more confusing than others. Here's a breakdown of the Heavenly Restrictions.
Born a non-sorcerer. After taking on a Heavenly Restriction, she became a sorcerer who rivaled Toji Fushiguro.
ABILITIES
EXPLANATION
Zero Cursed Energy
Escaped cursed energy completely. Because of this, a domain's sure-hit effect doesn't have a target to hit, making her immune.
Heavenly Restriction
In exchange for escaping from cursed energy, she now possesses superhuman strength and speed.
Cursed Tool: Dragon-Bone
A blade that can accumulate force and curse energy as well as eject it out of the back of the blade.
Cursed Tool: Split Soul Katana
A blade that bypasses any physical resistance and directly cut the soul.
At first, Maki was a Grade 4 sorcerer who was once the weakness of her clan. She was powerful in her own right but hit her limit relatively quickly. Her Heavenly Restriction didn't grant her the intense strength and power it granted to figures like Toji, and she quickly became outshined by the power of antagonists like Jogo. Jogo defeats Maki with one attack, burning and scarring her. This all changed when her sister and she were both on the brink of death.
Betrayed by their father and the Zenin clan, Mai would give up her life for Maki to live. Mai's death would further the Heavenly Restriction Maki had and give her immense strength to butcher the rest of the Zenin clan. Now, Maki has surpassed almost everyone, demonstrating the ability to go one-on-one against Sukuna. She can withstand multiple Black Flashes, recover quickly, and has become completely immune to any kind of Domain Expansion. Maki's only setback is that she can't use the reverse curse technique to heal significant wounds.

Who Is Yuji Itadori From Jujutsu Kaisen?
Jujutsu Kaisen's Yuji Itadori is one of the most popular modern anime heroes, with the character facing certain death thanks to a cursed finger.
The record-holder for most Black Flashes of any Sorcerer. With a combo of 7 in a row and 18 total.
ABILITIES
EXPLANATION
Immense Strength and Speed
Even without Cursed Energy, Yuji's strength was superhuman on its own. He was able to run a 50-meter track in 3 seconds, giving him impressive speed.
Immense Durability
One of the most durable sorcerers, able to take blows over and over without stopping.
Poison Resistance
Due to being Sukuna's host, his body has a natural resistance to all types of poison.
Immense Cursed Energy
Being imbued with the cursed objects and being a fast learner who can land multiple black flashes, Yuji was able to gain immense curse energy.
Divergent Fist
When Yuji lands a punch on a target, his cursed energy flows and strikes a second punch on the target.
Cursed Technique: Blood Manipulation
After ingesting the Cursed Womb Paintings, Yuji was able to manipulate his blood like Choso. Through it he is able to use Convergence and Piercing Blood.
Cursed Technique: Shrine
Allows Yuji to unleash invisible slashes through physical contact.
Cursed Technique: Dismantle
A powerful slashing attack. Due to a binding vow it is exceptional at separating souls.
Reversed Curse Technique
Able to take cursed energy and reverse it into positive energy, an extremely complex technique that allows users to heal the human body.
Anti-Domain Technique
New Shadow Style: Simple Domain: Disables a domain's guaranteed hit by neutralizing its barrier.
Domain Expansion
Unnamed Domain Expansion - allowed Yuji to walk through his memories with Sukuna.
Yuji is the protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen, and he quickly proves himself to be a prodigy. He joined characters like Yuta and Hakari, whom Gojo knew would surpass him and the higher-ups. His skills would grow exponentially, as he can go up against Grade 1 and Special Grade enemies even though he's been a sorcerer for less than a few weeks. After each arc, Yuji is pushed to his limits and grows even stronger.
As Sukuna's vessel and someone who was able to eat curses and take their skills, Yuji would take on some of the curse techniques of people like Choso and even Sukuna. What makes Yuji most impressive is that of all sorcerers, he holds the record of Black Flashes. This ability increases the user's physical attack and improves a sorcerer's physical performance through a cursed energy refresh. These Black Flashes give Yuji an edge when most needed and seemingly increase his potential each time he strikes.
1 Yuta Okkotsu - The Next Satoru Gojo
The Protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen 0
Close
An overwhelming strength similar to Satoru Gojo.
ABILITIES
EXPLANATION

Yuta has been trained expertly to use and store curse tools inside Rika.
Cursed Energy Capacity
His amount of cursed energy is so large that it exceeds Satoru Gojo. It's been stated to be bottomless.

Domain Expansion
Authentic Mutual Love: Yuta summons a field of cross-like katanas. All the katanas that Yuta picks up have one of the cursed techniques that he's absorbed and serve as the sure-hit effect of the domain.
Yuta was always hailed as the second strongest, only below Gojo himself. This is due to his intense cursed energy capacity, output, and manipulation. Combining this with the ability to fight alongside the powerful cursed spirit of Rika, Yuta has become one of the most powerful sorcerers in record time. His curse technique is one of the best in the entire series. Yuta can throw powerful blows that can crush enemies in a single move. His Domain was revealed against Sukuna with the unique trait of being so refined that it can target its sure-hit technique against anyone in the Domain.
What makes Yuta exceptionally powerful is his battle IQ. As shown during the Shinjuku Showdown, Yuta can employ various mind games to defeat Sukuna. From using his Domain to trap Sukuna into a hollow wicker basket to avoid using his dismantle to tricking Sukuna into thinking he had consumed his final finger and that because he used Jacob's Ladder, Hana was unable to act. Yuta's strength was pivotal to the Jujutsu sorcerers defeating Sukuna. Yuta can rival any sorcerer or cursed spirit with these intense abilities and high intellect.
Jujutsu Kaisen
Jujutsu Kaisen follows the evolution of Yuji Itadori, a boy who swallowed a cursed talisman - the finger of a demon - and became cursed himself. He enters a special school for sorcerers to learn to control his new abilities and gather the rest of the demon's parts, so he can consume them and then be eliminated.
