Special Grade curses possess such power that even a warhead might not be enough to take them down. In some cases, they can wipe out cities themselves, which just goes to show the level of strength that they possess. Of course, special grade curses, whether registered or unregistered, possess some very intriguing cursed techniques up their sleeves. Fans have already seen quite a lot of them in the story, and they have already left an incredible impression, especially those that are very deadly.

6 Rot Technique

Users: Eso and Kechizu (Half-Cursed Spirits)

The Rot technique is a dangerous cursed technique that was utilized by Eso and Kechizu, two of the death paintings that fans saw in the very early parts of the series. These two Death Paintings were seen in combat against Yuji and Nobara.

Using the rot technique, they could utilize their blood in a corrosive manner. In the case of Kechizu, he could spew his blood with corrosive and rotting properties at his enemies, which, on contact, did terrible damage to them. In the case of Eso, he possessed a higher level of control over this skill and could even shape his blood however he wanted, poisoning those who would engage with him in combat.

5 Blood Manipulation

User: Choso (Half-Cursed Spirit)

Another one of the death paintings, Choso is likely the strongest of the lot and he is one who has the most human-like appearance of them all. Choso is incredibly powerful and he possesses the cursed technique of Blood Manipulation, which belongs to the Kamo clan. Choso, using blood manipulation, can alter his blood however he wants.

He can utilize it by spewing it with Piercing Blood at the speed of sound, dealing tremendous damage to those who he makes contact with, or, he can reinforce his own body by controlling it as a will. Given that he's not a human, Choso has unlimited access to Blood Manipulation and he doesn't suffer from any drawbacks either.

4 Disaster Tides

User: Dagon

Dagon was an incredibly powerful cursed spirit who showed his true skill in Shibuya, where he evolved properly. Once he did, he showed his water manipulation skills to the fans in full swing.

His strength was such that even the team of Maki, Megumi, Noabito, and Nanami, was not enough to take him down in combat. When utilizing his domain expansion, he was incredibly difficult to take down in combat, and had it not been for Toji Fushiguro, everyone fighting him would have died.

3 Disaster Plants

User: Hanami

Disaster Plants is one of the strongest techniques of any cursed spirit, and this one belongs to the unregistered special grade named Hanami. They were introduced to the fans in the Goodwill Event arc and, there, they fought against the duo of Todo and Yuji. Their ability was such that it allowed them to manipulate plants and any form of plant life however they wanted.

They could even stop the cursed energy of their enemies by attacking their bodies with tiny buds. This cursed technique allowed them to manipulate roots, launch powerful sharp projectiles, and even a powerful beam of natural energy. They also possessed a domain expansion that, unfortunately, was never revealed in the story.

2 Disaster Flames

User: Jogo

Disaster Flames was the cursed technique utilized by Jogo and it was one of the strongest abilities that fans have seen in JJK. Disaster Flames gave pyrokinetic abilities to Jogo such that at its peak, using Maximum: Meteor, he could burn down a giant portion of a city within the blink of an eye.

His strength or such that even Sukuna acknowledged him and that just goes to show what level he manipulated his cursed technique on.

1 Idle Transfiguration

User: Mahito

Mahito

By far the strongest Cursed Technique that any cursed spirit has possessed in the world of JJK is Idle Transfiguration. This cursed technique belongs to Mahito, the strongest of the unregistered curses that fans saw in the early parts of the series. This cursed technique granted Mahito the ability to alter souls at will. With a single touch of his palm, Mahito could touch the souls of his enemies and shape them however he wished.

He could completely destroy the soul with the touch of his palm, or, reshape them and turn his enemies into grotesque creatures which he could then toy with. According to Mahito, he was born out of humanity's hatred of each other and that is precisely why he liked to target the depth of their souls and destroy them from the inside. When Mahito reached his ascended form, his powers were truly at his pinnacle. He also possessed a domain expansion, called the Self-embodiment of Perfection, within which he wouldn't even need contact with his enemies to manipulate their souls and kill them.
