The King of Curses, Sukuna is among the strongest characters in the entirety of Jujutsu Kaisen, possibly being rivaled only by Satoru Gojo. Sukuna has some really incredible powers up his sleeve that he has showcased so far in the story.

He possesses an incredible amount of expertise when it comes to cursed techniques as well as the utilization of cursed energy. While Sukuna has not shown his entire arsenal to the fans, there are quite a lot of incredible techniques that he has demonstrated already, and some of them are strong enough to kill anyone standing in his path.

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.

Pseudo Piercing Blood (In Megumi’s Body)

Sukuna Can Mimic The Power Of Piercing Blood

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.

19

Binding Vows

Sukuna Makes Use Of One Binding Vow After Another

Sukuna is a very efficient user of Binding Vows. Given that he is the King of Curses and the strongest in history, it is no surprise to know that Sukuna can make use of many Binding Vows to give himself an advantage in battle. For instance, Sukuna made a Binding Vow with Yuji at the very beginning of the series.

In the Shinjuku Showdown arc, Sukuna made a Binding Vow with himself, and this allowed him to utilize the World Splitting Dismantle with one hand and kill Gojo. He knows how to utilize them very smartly.

18

Hollow Wicker Basket

Sukuna Can Use Various Anti Domain Techniques

Hollow Wicker Basket is an anti-domain technique that existed long ago. Given that Sukuna is from the Heian era, it is no surprise for the fans to know that Sukuna can use this technique as well. He made extensive use of it when he was inside Yuta’s domain expansion.

Using Hollow Wicker Basket, he was able to protect himself from Yuta’s sure-hit attack, given that this is an anti-domain technique. Sukuna is an excellent user of this power, and it just goes to show how versatile he is, even when he doesn’t have his own domain accessible.

17

Dismantle

Sukuna Can Cut Inanimate Objects

Dismantle is the regular slash-based attack that Sukuna uses on anyone in his vicinity. He can use this powerful technique to chop anyone and everyone in half. Dismantle is an incredibly dangerous power and it differs from Cleave in the sense that it usually attacks inanimate objects.

For any inanimate object in Sukuna’s vicinity, Dismantle can get the job done. This attack makes Sukuna deadly for even those without cursed energy as they would simply be recognized as inanimate objects in his vicinity by Dismantle. This is an incredible power that has even given trouble to the likes of Gojo.

Sukuna Can Use Lightning

Sukuna possesses two cursed tools and one of them has already been seen in action in the manga. When Sukuna entered his reincarnated state in the fight against Kashimo, he was granted access to his cursed tool, Kamutoke. This is an incredibly dangerous cursed tool the rank of which is unknown, however, it will likely be classified as a Special Grade Cursed Tool, if not higher.

This cursed tool allows Sukuna to attack with lightning-based techniques. Thankfully for Kashimo, he was resistant to those attacks given that his cursed technique itself was based on lightning. However, in combat against anyone else, Kamutoke can do great damage.

15

Incredible Amounts Of Cursed Energy

Sukuna Can Keep Fighting For Long

One of the best powers that Sukuna has is an immeasurable amount of cursed energy. His cursed energy is far more than anyone has seen in the entirety of Jujutsu Kaisen so far. In fact, his cursed energy levels are far more than that of Satoru.

What’s more, his control over this cursed energy is also incredibly immense. Even Yuta, who possesses a tremendous amount of cursed energy, openly exclaimed that Sukuna has twice or more times cursed energy than he does and the control that he possesses over this cursed energy is also likely much superior.

14

Domain Amplification

Sukuna Can Counter Cursed Techniques

Domain amplification is an incredible ability that is very useful when fighting against cursed techniques and Domain Expansions in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen. It is no surprise that Sukuna can use domain amplification and do so very well.

In his fight against Satoru Gojo, fans saw him use domain amplification to counter Satoru’s Limitless. By virtue of this technique, he could make contact with Satoru and even injure him severely. Being the King of Curses, Sukuna is most likely one of the very best users of domain amplification in the entire series.

13

Spiderweb

A Technique That Is Derived From Sukuna’s Cleave

While SpiderWeb is merely a variant of Cleave, this ability is much more destructive than its parent ability. Instead of cutting along a straight line, Spiderweb allows Sukuna to form a web-like pattern on the ground, followed by cutting everything along the pattern.

The technique primarily allows Sukuna to destroy his opponent’s footing from a longer distance. The technique was witnessed during Sukuna’s fight against Yuji and Maki, after he possessed Megumi’s body. Spiderweb allowed him to instantly destroy the ground under Yuji and Maki, giving him the perfect opening to directly land a blow on his opponents.

12

Cleave

Sukuna Can Cut Anyone

Cleave likely makes use of Sukuna’s Innate technique, which is unknown at the moment, and sees him slice about his targets effortlessly. Even strong Special Grade curse users cannot escape the ferocity of this technique and fans have already seen what it can do to the targets.

Sukuna is exceptionally good at slicing his targets apart with invisible slashes and this technique takes that to the very next level and dices the bodies of his opponents.

11

Fire Arrow

Sukuna Can Incinerate Anyone

Sukuna can also use powerful pyrokinetic abilities, such as Fire Arrow. Jogo, who is an incredibly immense user of pyrokinetic curse techniques, realized that Sukuna’s Fire Arrow is even more dangerous.

Sukuna is known to be able to manipulate these flames and form them into an arrow to fire from a distance. These flames burn immensely hot and even special-grade curses cannot escape its wrath.

10

Unlimited Incantations

Sukuna Can Launch Maximum Output Attacks

One of the greatest powers that Sukuna possesses is the ability to chant incantations all the while when fighting. However, this ability can only be used by him in his true form. For any sorcerer, using incantations is extremely important. This allows them to bring the maximum output of their cursed techniques and deliver deadly blows.

Since Sukuna has four arms and 2 mouths, he can continue fighting while chanting incantations continuously and this is what truly separates him from the rest. This makes him one of the deadliest users of Jujutsu sorcery.

9

Reverse Cursed Technique

Sukuna Can Heal

Reverse Cursed Technique makes use of positive energy and allows for healing in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen. Sukuna is exceptionally adept at using Reverse Cursed Technique as well, and fans got a glimpse of that when he healed Yuji’s body from the state of death after a Binding Wow with him.

He can also heal himself from any injuries and, more recently, he even picked up the technique to refill his burnt-up cursed energy, something that Satoru did before him. Sukuna is exceptional at using Reverse Cursed Technique and with time, his usage of it is only getting even better.

8

Healing Others With RCT

Sukuna Can Heal Others

Sukuna is one of the very few sorcerers capable of using reverse cursed technique and, at the same time, doing so at the highest level. While the vast majority of the sorcerers use reverse cursed technique on themselves, Sukuna can also use it on others.

Fans have seen him use this power in the Shibuya arc when he used it to save the life of Megumi after the fight against Mahoraga concluded. Sukuna also managed to learn how to replenish his burnt out cursed energy after observing Gojo use this skill again and again.

7

Healing Soul Damage

Sukuna Can Heal Damage To His Soul

Healing from soul damage is incredibly difficult in the world of JJK. In fact, for the vast majority of the people, including skilled sorcerers, it is impossible. However, Sukuna is an individual who can heal from soul damage. This is down to the fact that he can see the outline of his soul, and it has to do with the fact that inside of his body, two Souls are currently existing, those being that of Megumi, and his own.

Due to that, Sukuna can see the outline of his very soul, and heal even from soul damage. He has taken quite a lot of powerful blows from the likes of Maki and Yuji, among many others. Despite taking these powerful blows, Sukuna has healed himself from a near-death situation on many occasions already, and that is certainly very commendable.

6

Divine Flame

Incinerating Everything In a Radius Around Him

Divine Flames is another one of Sukuna’s godly powers. This technique is rather complicated, as it can only be used after Sukuna uses Dismantle and Cleave. Moreover, Divine Flame is bound by a Binding Vow that renders it unable to be used against multiple opponents unless it is used inside Malevolent Shrine.

The technique was first witnessed during Sukuna’s fight against Jogo, where he used the technique after utilizing Dismantle and Cleave. Since he was fighting only one opponent, he could freely use Divine Flame to shoot molten lava-like flames at Jogo. In the Shinjuku Showdown, however, Sukuna was able to use Divine Flames against multiple opponents inside his domain. Since the binding bow allows him to target multiple people only inside his domain, he was able to target all the sorcerers in one fell swoop.

5

Black Flash

Sukuna Can Amplify The Power Of His Blows

Black Flash is one of the strongest abilities that the fans have seen in Jujutsu Kaisen over the years. This is a power that no sorcerer can utilize at will. However, those who do manage to utilize it enter the zone and can then heighten their abilities greatly. Essentially, black flash is a phenomenon that occurs when cursed energy is applied within 1 million of a second of a hit, and, when that happens, a distortion in space occurs, and the power of the blow is increased to the power of 2.5.

This makes black flash one of the most incredibly dangerous powers in JJK. In the Shinjuku Showdown arc, Sukuna unleashed the power of black flash on the sorcerers, starting with Maki. He also hit black flashes against other individuals, such as Larue, and of course, later down the line, another one against Maki, as well as Choso. Sukuna certainly does possess powerful black flashes, however, they are far from his strongest ability.

4

Mahoraga

Sukuna Can Summon Mahoraga

While not his own technique, Sukuna, when taking control of the body of Megumi, can call the Divine General Mahoraga. Fans know Mahoraga to be exceptionally powerful and the strongest of the 10 Shadows Technique. It is also known to be an uncontrollable beast and, throughout history, nobody has been able to assert total control over it.

While Sukuna has dealt with Mahoraga himself in the past, he can now make use of it in combat. In his fight against Satoru Gojo, Sukuna made use of Mahoraga when he was struck with Unlimited Void and successfully managed to counter Gojo’s Domain Expansion.

3

Reincarnation

Sukuna Can Reincarnate Once

Reincarnation is a power that Sukuna can only use once. This ability was used by him after his fight against Gojo concluded. At this point, Sukuna would have died had he not reincarnated while fighting against Kashimo. Kashimo was causing all sorts of trouble for Sukuna, who, at this point, was in the body of Megumi.

When he realized that this wasn’t enough, Sukuna finally tapped into his trump card and reincarnated. This completely refreshed his cursed energy reserves as well as his Reverse Cursed Technique output, healing him of all injuries and any exhaustion. Essentially, this technique puts Sukuna as his strongest, taking away all the damage that he endured.

2

Malevolent Shrine

Sukuna Can Use Domain Expansion

Malevolent Shrine is Sukuna’s strongest technique and also has Domain Expansion. This technique sees him land surefire hits on his enemies, with powerful techniques such as Dismantle and Cleave. Malevolent Shrine sees him use these techniques repeatedly until the target is utterly decimated and that, in itself, is a very overpowered ability.

It is believed that Sukuna’s Malevolent Shrine is just as refined as Satoru Gojo’s Unlimited Void, however, Satoru believes his innate ability is superior to that of Sukuna.

1

World-Splitting Dismantle

Sukuna Can Cut The World

Quite easily the strongest technique that Sukuna possesses at the moment, the world splitting slash is the ability that he used to defeat Gojo. This ability is so strong that it targets the fabric of space and the entire world itself.

Essentially, anything that exists in the world is a target for this technique and that is what makes it truly dangerous.

So far, this technique has been used twice. It ended the life of Gojo when the two collided and, later on, it was used against Kashimo who, surprisingly, easily dodged it, which is rather bizarre, given that Gojo had access to Six Eyes yet could not see this coming. Nonetheless, this is a very powerful technique and likely the strongest in Sukuna’s arsenal.
