I have binged, reread, and made a rant on every cursed panel ofJujutsu Kaisen.Some arcs left me buzzing for days, others flattened me with loss. Ranking them meant juggling raw emotion, plot gravity, and that secret metric,how loudly I yelled at 3 a.m.Some scenesmake one’s stomach turn while others deliver that much-neededdopamine cranked to the tenth.
Each arc belowhas pushed the series into new territory, sharpened characters I thought I already knew, and forced me to confront the brutal promise Akutami keeps making:no one walks away unscarred. For this spectacular occasion, I’m going from“solid” to “soul-splitting.”
Jujutsu Kaisen: 10 Best Characters, Ranked
From Yuji to Sukuna, here are some of the best and the most popular characters in Jujutsu Kaisen.
10Death Painting Arc
Seeds That Rot and Bloom
The Yasohachi Bridge haunt crept under my skin first; the sibling bond between Eso and Kechizu twisted it deeper.Megumi’s “Chimera Shadow Garden” spread across the screen, and I realized his ceiling sits far higher than mine.
Yuji and Nobara’s joint Black Flash felt like a victory lap, yet the sorrow of killing sentient curses lingered in my chest.The arc widensJujutsu Kaisenlore with the Death Paintings, hints atMahito’s grand design, and tests the trio’s chemistry in real combat stakes.
Its brevity holds it back, so I slot it here; still, I replay Megumi’s domain expansion whenever I need motivation to grind.
9Kyoto Goodwill Event Arc
Rivalry Ignites, Monsters Interrupt
I signed up for friendly festival vibes; I got Todo dropping philosophy about ideal women and Hanami kicking down the door.Yuji’s Black Flash barrage beside his “best friend” had me pumping a fist, then laughing at how fast bonds can form under fire.
The arc showcases every student’s cursed technique, letting Panda, Maki, and Nobara flex without teacher safety nets.Gojo’s curtain break and Hollow Purple remind the villains that style points still belong to him.
Some rivalry fluff blunts the tension early, yet the invasion flips the switch and proves school pride is useless when extinction shows up.
8Fearsome Womb Arc
Baptism by Finger
Yuji swallowing Sukuna’s finger remains the single grossest hero audition I have seen.One gag reflex later, I followed him into juvenile detention, watched a special grade smile, and felt my introduction complete.
The arc locks in the core trio and lets Gojo flex Infinity long enough to set power ceilings.Yuji’s “death” lands hard, painting the first big red X over any comfort I had about plot armour.
Foundational arcs rarely crack a top list, yet this one nails tone, world rules, and immediate peril; that earns its place.
7Perfect Preparation Arc
Rage, Grief, and a Blade Named Maki
Post-Shibuya fatigue hit me, then Maki Zenin burned it away.Mai’s sacrifice snapped something in my spine as well as Maki’s chains; her return to the clan estate turned into a slasher flick I cheered for.
Officially, it’s reconnaissance, but the character work slices deeper than many boss fights.Strategy sessions foreshadow Culling Game rules while Maki’s rampage cements her as Toji’s rightful heir.
Because the plot mostly sets the stage, it lands here, yet emotionally, it leaves scorch marks higher than half of this list.
6Culling Game Arc
Roulette of Domains
Kenjaku’s battle royalereads like a love letter to power-system nerds, and I am that target demographic.New faces, old grudges, and slot-machine domains kept me flipping pages, sometimes confused, always thrilled.
Highlights stack up: Hakari’s jackpot loop, Yuta’s Sendai sweep, Sukuna hijacking Megumi, Kashimo crackling for a real fight.The scope is messy; pacing lurches, yet the creativity in technique clashes makes me forgive the clutter.
When I binge the chapters, the arc roars; week-to-week, it stumbles. Either way, the arc changes the roster forever.
5Vs. Mahito Arc
Souls Twisted, Resolve Forged
Junpei’s quiet smile fooled me; Mahito’s finger snap shattered it.Watching Yuji beg fate to rewind while Mahito laughed taught me the show’s cruelty meter.
Nanami strolls in, sleeves rolled, “overtime” mode engaged, and the philosophical duel about humanity’s shape begins.Mahito’s Idle Transfiguration chills my bones because it weaponises identity itself.
Its emotional punch, clean structure, and the birth of Yuji’s deepest scars slap it firmly into the upper half of any ranking.
4Shinjuku Showdown Arc
The Day Legends Bled
Gojo versus Sukuna felt like payday for my patience.Domains crashed, Hollow Purple met Cleave, and I forgot to blink.
Gojo’s fall yanked the air from my lungs, yet the relay assault that followed kept hope twitching.Yuta, Maki, Yuji, and Hakari throwing everything at the King of Curses amplified tension, even while power scaling stretched belief.
The spectacle and stakes scream high placement. I still replay chapter 236, wondering where the universe hides a rematch ticket.
3Cursed Child Arc (Jujutsu Kaisen 0)
Love, Loss, and a Thousand Demons
Four chapters, endless echoes.Yuta Okkotsu walks in haunted, leaves terrifying, and my empathy rides shotgun the whole trip.
Rika’s rage against Geto’s army delivers action fireworks, yet the true burn arrives when Yuta releases her with a tender goodbye.Gojo and Geto’s mentor-student tension layers extra weight for long-time readers.
Concise, self-contained, emotionally lethal; whenever friends ask where to start, I hand themJujutsu Kaisen 0and enjoy their stunned silence.
2Gojo’s Past Arc
Ideals Fractured, Eyes Opened
Teenage Gojo goofs off, teenage Geto smiles pure, and I know tragedy lurks like a curse in the rafters.Riko Amanai’s fate slices the bond, Toji Fushiguro’s blade twists it, and dormant divinity wakes inside Six-Eyes.
Friendship, duty, and strength collide; Geto’s silent disillusionment hurts more than any scream.This flashback hangs over every later betrayal because it whispers the price of power.
Jujutsu Kaisen: Age, Height, & Birthdays Of All Characters
Jujutsu Kaisen has a truly wide array of characters. Check here for their ages, heights, and birthdays.
Second spot honours its thematic heft; future twists land harder because this arc showed me what was lost.
1Shibuya Incident Arc
Halloween That Ended the World
Crowds chant “Trick or treat,” and goosebumps forecast disaster.Gojo is sealed, Sukuna levels blocks, and Yuji’s hope detonates alongside innocent lives.
The pacing never lets me breathe; Nanami’s last stand, Todo’s frantic claps, Nobara’s fate, each scene compounds dread.Kenjaku unmasks, revealing a millennium of manipulation, and suddenly every prior arc realigns in horrific clarity.
Shibuya reigns supreme for relentless action, seismic plot shifts, and emotional devastation.Every reread reopens the wound, yet I can’t stop; this isJujutsu Kaisenat full power, and I’m hopelessly cursed to love it.Justice for Jogo’s death!
