No matter how complicated the Cursed Techniques in Jujutsu Kaisen may get, at the end of the day, most fights tend to boil down to physical altercations in one way or another. Just like Cursed Techniques that vary greatly in terms of strength, the physical strength and prowess of certain characters do so as well.
In this article, let's go over the most powerful physical fighters in all of Jujutsu Kaisen. Admittedly, this is a broad term, so it can most easily be defined as those whose hand-to-hand combat, overall strength, and speed are far greater than everyone else's without necessarily having anything to do with their Cursed Techniques.
Jujutsu Kaisen: Every Student of Satoru Gojo, Ranked
Gojo has taught many notable Jujutsu sorcerers, so let's rank them from weakest to strongest.
Kashimo's Speed Was Among The Greatest In The Series
Cursed Technique: Mythic Beast Amber
- Incredible strength and Cursed Energy manipulation.
Kashimo was introduced in the Culling Game arc as the most dangerous sorcerer in the entire event, as he managed to gain the highest points through the manipulation of his Cursed Energy alone. Even in his most iconic battle against Hakari, he almost killed the powerful Jujutsu sorcerer without even releasing his Cursed Technique, showing just how capable he is.
With Mythic Beast Amber, Kashimo remains a physical fighter foremost, as all of his attacks are reinforced with the Cursed Energy that covers his body. Due to the unique lightning properties of his Cursed Energy, Kashimo can move incredibly fast, even by the standards of Jujutsu sorcerers, making him an incredible warrior.
Yuji Learned How To Maximize His Divergent Fist
Cursed Techniques: Multiple
- Yuji's punches targeted the soul.
At the start of the series, Yuji struggled to properly awaken his Cursed Technique, which meant that he mostly fought with Cursed Energy manipulation. However, the Divergent Fist was eventually born, which initially worked as a physical attack that seemingly hit twice, showcasing Yuji's strength as a physical powerhouse.
In the ultimate battle against Sukuna, Yuji awakened his full potential and realized multiple Cursed Techniques, including Blood Manipulation and Shrine. However, his physical attacks gained the property of damaging his target's soul, and he could seemingly use Black Flash at will, making him one of the most talented warriors in the entire series.
Jujutsu Kaisen: Gojo's Peak Potential, Explained
Gojo was one of the two most powerful Jujutsu sorcerers of all time, so let's see how he hit his peak potential in the series!
Maki And Toji Fully Realized Their Heavenly Restrictions
Cursed Techniques: None
- Those without any Cursed Energy.
In a world filled with overpowered techniques and characters who can destroy entire cities, there are only two characters who don't even have a single drop of Cursed Energy in their bodies: Toji and Maki Zenin. Because of their Heavenly Restrictions, their bodies are inhumanly fast and strong, and it is said that those born with such a power are outside the fold of Jujutsu itself, making them incredibly important.
Due to their inability to house or utilize Cursed Energy in any capacity, Toji and Maki rely solely on their physical prowess, being able to move faster than even Gojo can track. Their otherworldly strength is great enough to reliably put them against some of the world's most powerful Jujutsu sorcerers, with only monsters like Sukuna or Gojo being more than they can deal with, showing just how impressive the 'failures' of the Zenin Clan truly are.
Sukuna's Physical Strength Was Enough To Contend With Gojo
Cursed Techniques: Shrine, Furnace
- The King of Curses.
Although Sukuna is known as the strongest in history, it's mostly because of his knowledge and mastery of Jujutsu as a whole and less so because of his physical prowess. However, this doesn't mean that it's anything to scoff at, since Sukuna was the only one who could even compete with Gojo on this front, proving his strength and skill on a physical level to be far greater than everyone below him.
Once he transformed back into his Heian Era form, everything improved. Due to the addition of two more arms and his huge stature, Sukuna's strength and speed grew far greater than before, allowing him to take on multiple powerful sorcerers simultaneously, even hitting multiple Black Flashes that let him regain much of his power.
The Time When Jujutsu Kaisen Pitted a Gambler against a God (And Why It Worked So Well)
A suspended gambler and a reincarnated "god" walk into a shipping yard. It's either the start of a joke or a Jujutsu Kaisen fight.
Gojo Was The Strongest Hand-To-Hand Combatant In The Series
Cursed Technique: Limitless
- Changed the balance of the world.
The battle between Gojo and Sukuna was the most anticipated in recent manga/anime history, as the strongest of the modern era and the strongest of all time clashed. Although Sukuna ultimately proved himself to be the strongest sorcerer, the title of the best physical fighter of all time went to Gojo, as he proved how his training in this regard was far above Sukuna's own physical might.
The fight between them was multilayered, bringing forth knowledge and prowess in all forms of combat that no one else could even conceive of, but even then, Gojo's strength and speed allowed him to not only take on Sukuna, but Mahoraga and Agito as well at the same time. The issue of the strongest sorcerer in Jujutsu Kaisen will always be a contentious one, but this much is known that in terms of physical hand-to-hand fighters, Gojo stands far above everyone else.
