Updated by Ahmed Rehan Nasir on December 27, 2024: Sukuna is arguably one of the few anime antagonists who break the power ceiling to such an extent that even the combined strength of the entire series’ roster would fail to stop him. While that statement might seem like an exaggeration, the plethora of godlike powers at Sukuna's disposal are proof of his unprecedented strength. The Shibuya Incident was merely a glimpse of the immense power at Sukuna's disposal, which was later displayed in its full glory during the Shinjuku Showdown. This list has been updated with a few more entries that reflect Sukuna's current arsenal of abilities.

Sukuna can make use of a variant of Piercing Blood as well. This technique is different from the actual Piercing Blood that is used by the likes of Choso and Yuji. Essentially, this technique isn't really Piercing Blood, but is based on the model of it.
Simply put, to utilize this technique, Sukuna makes use of the 10 Shadows Technique, and taps into the power of Max Elephant. Fans know that Max elephant can produce torrents of water, and Sukuna compresses this using Convergence, and then shoots a high-speed projectile at his enemies. In terms of power, this technique is just as powerful as the actual piercing blood, and it can deal deadly damage, as was seen when he utilized it in his battle against Gojo.
