Master Tengen#Permanent link to Master Tengen

Keeps the barriers the schools work inside, and has bargained across a table exactly once on record — information handed over in exchange for two special-grade sorcerers agreeing to stay on as guards, which both of them take by choice. The barrier itself is not what was traded. The other arrangement in the file is a Star Plasma Vessel picked out and delivered by other people, a maintenance schedule rather than a bargain since the item does not get consulted, and what eventually happens to Tengen is a merger somebody else wanted.

• statedJujutsu Kaisen · ch. 53

  Tengen's barrier techniques shelter the jujutsu schools.

• statedJujutsu Kaisen · ch. 66

  Merging with a Star Plasma Vessel roughly every five hundred years is what stops Tengen evolving further.

• statedJujutsu Kaisen · ch. 145

  Having failed to merge with a Star Plasma Vessel, Tengen evolved into more cursed spirit than human.

Riko Amanai#Permanent link to Riko AmanaiThe Star Plasma Vessel

An arrangement gets written with her inside it as the item changing hands. One body designates her; another pays to stop the transfer; she is asked by neither. She says she would rather spend more time with everyone, and is shot dead before the merger can happen. She is the object of the deal and never a party to it, which is not a position a ladder of parties has a row for.

• statedJujutsu Kaisen · ch. 66

  Riko Amanai is designated the Star Plasma Vessel, the person required to merge with Tengen.

• statedJujutsu Kaisen · ch. 66

  A group opposed to the merger hires Toji Fushiguro to prevent it.

• statedJujutsu Kaisen · ch. 72

  Riko Amanai says she would rather stay and spend more time with everyone than merge with Tengen.

The jujutsu higher-ups#Permanent link to The jujutsu higher-upsThe elders who sign nothing

Ordered Yuta Okkotsu executed over a curse he never asked to carry, then sentenced Yuji Itadori to death and deferred it the moment Gojo made deferral the cheaper option. They fix what a grade is worth, who keeps working and who gets disposed of, and the body itself is never drawn fighting anything — where one of them does take the field, Gakuganji delivering a technique through an electric guitar, he is ranked down the ladder on that showing rather than counted up here. What the body concedes is an outcome, not a capability, so there is no figure to place it at.

• statedJujutsu Kaisen 0 · ch. 2

  The higher-ups sentence Yuta Okkotsu to death.

• statedJujutsu Kaisen 0 · ch. 1

  Gojo proposes enrolling Yuta at the school in place of the execution.

Ryomen Sukuna#Permanent link to Ryomen SukunaThe King of Curses

• Twenty fingersSealed, split up, and eaten one at a time by other people.
• Tenant in Yuji ItadoriOne minute he could call once, on wording he supplied himself.
• In Megumi Fushiguro's bodyHands of his own, and a shikigami he never had to ask for.

Negotiated one minute inside a borrowed body, called it a single time, and spent it taking Megumi Fushiguro. Kept those hands, and used them to cut Gojo Satoru down in front of the sorcerers who had staked the whole plan on the opposite result. The stretch of Shibuya he cut apart earlier was a longer stay in the same borrowed body, bought by other people forcing his fingers down its throat.

• shownJujutsu Kaisen · ch. 8

  Takes control of Yuji's body and tears Yuji's own heart out of his chest.

• statedJujutsu Kaisen · ch. 11

• Limitless and the Six Eyes togetherReverse cursed technique on himself, and a domain that takes a fraction of a second.
• SealedFolded into the Prison Realm, and absent from every fight fought while he is in there.

Received Limitless and the Six Eyes at birth and paid for neither. Went through the curses and transfigured humans filling Shibuya station on his own, and finished Suguru Geto himself after a first-year's curse had already burned the right side off him. Was folded into the Prison Realm in the seconds his own eyes spent refusing to read the face walking towards him as anything but the friend it had belonged to.

• statedJujutsu Kaisen · ch. 68

  Limitless and the Six Eyes are inherited within the Gojo family rather than acquired.

Kenjaku#Permanent link to Kenjaku

• Earlier hostsA line of bodies running back past the era Sukuna was born in.
• Wearing Suguru GetoA face that bought hesitation from the people who had known it, until it stopped working.

Has worn a line of other people's skulls for something past a thousand years, most recently Suguru Geto's, and walked that face up to Gojo Satoru to shut him inside a box. Wrote the rules of the Culling Game and enrolled sorcerers in it who were given no say in the matter, then lost his head to a student who took the transplant technique off him and was wearing Gojo Satoru by the end.

• statedJujutsu Kaisen · ch. 136

  Kenjaku has moved his own brain from body to body across more than a thousand years.

• Rika unsealedEverything he has, handed across at once, which is the state the placement comes from.
• Wearing Gojo SatoruBorrowed equipment, borrowed late, and returned.

Promised a girl he would marry her when they grew up, and when a car killed her the promise came back as a special grade tied to him for life. Handed Rika the whole of himself on the grounds of the school, and with his own sword already broken it was her beam that burned the right side off Suguru Geto. Took Kenjaku's head off later, then moved into Gojo Satoru's corpse using the transplant technique he had lifted off Kenjaku on the way past.

Hajime Kashimo#Permanent link to Hajime Kashimo

• The sorcerer of four hundred years agoA career spent looking for an opponent and never finding one worth the trouble.
• Reincarnated into the Culling GameA new body, a borrowed century, and one fight to spend both on.

Paid four centuries and the body he was born in for a seat at a single fight, and set those terms with Kenjaku directly instead of being written into the game by somebody else. Spent the seat on Sukuna and died in it, having first put enough through Hakari — an arm, a head, and a last one into the lower torso just as the wager ran out — to establish that a domain built on a bet does not stop when the man inside it runs out of blood.

• statedJujutsu Kaisen · ch. 187

  Kashimo made a binding vow with Kenjaku to be reincarnated four hundred years after his own lifetime.

• statedJujutsu Kaisen · ch. 187

Suguru Geto#Permanent link to Suguru Geto

• Jujutsu High studentGojo's classmate, on the same escort job, before any of the rest of it.
• Curse userA collection built one swallow at a time, and a date announced to spend it on.

Named two cities and a date and told the profession what was coming to them on it — the move a domain makes, run over two cities instead of ten metres of air. Every curse in the arsenal behind that announcement had gone down his own throat first, and a village of a hundred and twelve people was already behind him when he set the date.

• statedJujutsu Kaisen · ch. 76

Kinji Hakari#Permanent link to Kinji Hakari

• Suspended studentThrown out of the school and running a fight venue instead.
• JackpotThe window open, the wounds closing as fast as they arrive.

Opens a domain that gambles instead of striking. It runs a pachinko machine, and a jackpot buys four minutes and eleven seconds of unlimited cursed energy alongside a reverse cursed technique that runs itself for the same window. Took Hajime Kashimo's lightning through the arm and through the head inside that window and kept walking back into it, and took the strike to the lower torso as the window shut.

Hiromi Higuruma#Permanent link to Hiromi Higuruma

Convened a courtroom around Ryomen Sukuna, ran the trial inside it and got a guilty verdict — then found out what his own technique does when the defendant is holding something, because the sentence went for the cursed tool in Sukuna's hand and left the cursed technique exactly where it was. Nothing in his background is a sorcerer's: he arrived in the Culling Game as a defence lawyer, and he came off the Shinjuku field unconscious rather than dead.

• statedJujutsu Kaisen · ch. 164

  Deadly Sentencing tries whoever is inside it, and a guilty defendant is given one of several possible sentences.

• statedJujutsu Kaisen · ch. 159

  Higuruma entered the Culling Game as a defence lawyer with no jujutsu background.

Mahito#Permanent link to Mahito

Took Junpei Yoshino apart in front of Yuji and left him in a shape nobody undid. Killed Nanami Kento in a corridor of Shibuya Station with Yuji a few metres away and nothing left to do about it. Ten chapters on he put the domain up around Yuji and Aoi Todo — not the first time he had opened it — and the technique took hold of Todo without a hand ever landing on him.

Dagon#Permanent link to Dagon

A curse whose domain put Nanami Kento, Maki Zenin and Naobito Zenin on the same stretch of sand at once and kept all three there, cut down by its shikigami and no nearer the edge for any of it. What ended the thing walked in through the hole Megumi Fushiguro had cut trying to get his own side out — a man with no domain of his own and no cursed energy to open one with.

  Opens Horizon of the Captivating Skandha with Nanami, Maki and Naobito Zenin inside it.

Jogo#Permanent link to Jogo

Announced a volcano over Gojo Satoru's head and had a competing ruleset put up against it before the ash came down; the volcano gave out on contact. Burned his way through the civilians herded down onto the tracks at Shibuya station regardless, and was incinerated to ash by Sukuna's flame, hearing he had been worth something after all only in the exchange that followed his own death.

• shownJujutsu Kaisen · ch. 15

• shownJujutsu Kaisen · ch. 15

  Gojo opens Unlimited Void and Jogo's domain gives way.

• Ten Shadows userTen shikigami, most of them tamed, and a domain he calls unfinished.
• Sukuna's vesselA state nobody put to him as a question, so the placement is not taken from it.

Called Mahoraga in Shibuya knowing what the shikigami does to a summoner who cannot bring it to heel, and said while doing it that he did not expect to be alive when the summoning finished. Against the finger bearer earlier he had refused that same summons and opened his own domain instead — the one he calls unfinished, and which he opened again on a Culling Game player later regardless.

• The Sorcerer KillerWorking for money, carrying other people's tools, unreadable to the people hunting him.
• Summoned into a living bodyAn old woman turns her own grandson into him, and then has no hold on what she has made.

Carried no cursed energy whatsoever, which left the sorcerers' usual means of spotting a threat nothing at all to read, and kept his cursed tools inside a curse he used as luggage. Put a blade through Gojo Satoru and shot the Star Plasma Vessel dead on the same job, having already arranged to hand his son to the clan that threw him out — a sale he announced and never completed.

Maki Zenin#Permanent link to Maki Zenin

• The restriction suppressedHer own Heavenly Restriction, held down by the little cursed energy she still had.
• The restriction completedNo cursed energy left at all, and a body the clan had no answer to.

Twins in this setting count as one person and split one allotment of jujutsu, and her sister took the innate technique and nearly all the cursed energy. What the sister's death removed was the last of Maki's own — and the Heavenly Restriction that residue had been sitting on top of came up whole. She left the Zenin estate with most of its sorcerers dead behind her.

• shownJujutsu Kaisen 0 · ch. 3

  Fights among the school's defenders at Jujutsu High on the night of the parade.

Kokichi Muta#Permanent link to Kokichi MutaMechamaru

• Piloting from a distanceA puppet at the school and a body that never leaves an isolated bath in a remote cave.
• Ultimate Mechamaru Mode AbsoluteSeventeen years of saved cursed energy, spent in a single form.

Sold the school's movements to a curse for a body that worked, and was given one before the fight, having spent his life in a bath in a cave nobody visits and a puppet he drove from the far end of the country. Then put every hour of cursed energy he had collected since birth — seventeen years, five months and six days of it — into one form, and took it to the curse he had sold them to.

  It also returns a technique whose range covers the country.

Kento Nanami#Permanent link to Kento Nanami

Walked out of the profession into a salaried job and came back to it still keeping the hours. The vow is with himself: past the end of the working day his output goes up whether or not anyone is told. Telling them is a second contract, and he keeps that one too. Was finished off inside Shibuya Station once a shift's worth of transfigured bodies had already emptied him out.

• statedJujutsu Kaisen · ch. 30

  Overtime is a binding vow Nanami makes with himself, raising his cursed energy once his self-imposed working hours are past.

Aoi Todo#Permanent link to Aoi Todo

Everything his technique does runs through a clap, and the clap does not have to be his own two hands — he triggers a swap by bringing his palm against Mahito's. Swapped himself and Yuji in and out of that curse's reach until it could no longer tell which of them was arriving next, came out of the fight a hand short, and changed the trigger altogether later.

• statedJujutsu Kaisen · ch. 51

  Boogie Woogie swaps the positions of two things carrying cursed energy when Todo claps.

Mei Mei#Permanent link to Mei Mei

Quotes a fee before she will take a job and does not move until it is agreed, and calls monetary value the most important thing there is — a principle she states rather than a term she signed, which is why the rank rests on the birds instead. Sees through the crows she sends ahead, and Bird Strike is one of them flown into a target and not coming back out.

  Mei Mei says she works only for money.

• statedJujutsu Kaisen · ch. 86, p. 2-3

Told a special grade to blast away at the Goodwill Event and was coughing blood before the dust settled, which is the going rate rather than an accident.
