Summary
- Playful Cloud in Jujutsu Kaisen relies on physical strength, not cursed energy, making it deadly in skilled hands.
- Toji Fushiguro is a powerful user of the Playful Cloud, displaying superhuman strength and speed in battles.
- Maki Zenin also wields the Playful Cloud in JJK, showing its devastating power against strong curses in key arcs.
Most of the sorcerers we see in Jujutsu Kaisen rely on using their cursed energy to attack enemies. But some jujutsu warriors are unable to use curse energy at all. These sorcerers rely heavily on the use of weapons, the majority of which are imbued with cursed energy.

Characters like Maki Zenin and Toji Fushiguro use many curse tools during their battles which help them defeat even the most powerful of curses. One such cursed weapon is the Playful Cloud, also regarded as one of the most powerful weapons. So how exactly does this Playful Cloud work in Jujutsu Kaisen and how powerful is it against sturdy enemies?
What Is The Playful Cloud And How It Works
The Most Powerful Curse Tool?
Before we dive into how powerful this tool is let’s take a look at a little bit of its history. Toji Fushiguro was the original owner of the Playful Cloud before it got into the hands of Suguru Geto. However, when Geto was defeated, Gojo took possession of this weapon. After that, the lethal Playful Cloud was given to Maki, which she also used in the Shibuya Incident Arc.
The Playful Could is a three-section staff that looks very much like a San Jie Gun, a chinese weapon. What makes it different from other special-grade tools is that it does not have any cursed energy imbued to it, and it relies purely on the physical abilities of its user. So, depending on how physically powerful the user of the Playful Cloud is, the stronger its attacks will be. But why is this simple weapon, devoid of any cursed energy, considered one of the most powerful tools?
This is because the Playful Cloud can become extremely deadly when it’s in the hands of a user with great physical strength, which makes it impossible to counter this weapon’s fast and damaging strikes.
Users of Playful Cloud In Jujutsu Kaisen
Toji Uses The Playful Cloud
Toji is perhaps the strongest user of the Playful Cloud. He is regarded as one of the most physically powerful characters and is a true menace to the sorcerers. Due to his Heavenly Restriction, he can display superhuman strengths, including amazing speed and great raw power.
He uses the Playful Cloud when he fights the special-grade sorcerer Satoru Gojo. The weapon is also considered a good choice against any cursed energy-based defences. Toji gave a hard time to Gojo during their battle with this weapon, and it took a lot of effort from Gojo to defeat Toji.

Maki Gets The Special-Grade Cursed Tool
With Toji getting defeated, the Zenin clan claims the weapon and Gojo uses his connections to get this weapon to Maki. She uses this weapon in the Kyoto Event Arc as well as the Shibuya Incident Arc, displaying the power of this devastating tool. We also see Aoi Todo use this weapon briefly.
I don’t know what happened, but my body is special.
During the Shibuya Incident, when Toji is resurrected again, he snatches the Playful Cloud away from Maki and uses it to defeat the powerful curse Dagon. With Toji’s extreme speed and unmatchable strength, the Playful Cloud became the ultimate deadly tool against the curse.
No one used Playful Cloud the way Toji did, which made him the most skillful user of the weapon. There is a high chance that we will see this weapon being used in the future and Maki will most likely be its user. If Maki manages to reach Toji in terms of strength and raw power, Playful Cloud can play a key role in defeating end-game villains.
