Mahito vs Kokichi Muta

The killerMahitoJujutsu Kaisen · rank 10
6 places
The victimKokichi MutaJujutsu Kaisen · rank 16

A man empties a lifetime's savings into one form and still loses to the curse he sold his own school out to, and that fight is what this tier is for. Nobody disputes that the output went up; the fight was not close afterwards anyway. The contract had been settled in full first — Mahito honoured the vow he had been talked out of breaking, handed the body over in working order, and was attacked with it anyway — so this prices the bargain rather than the man who made it, and the order between these two does not move. The reason it does not is worth saying plainly, because the whole page rests on it: a vow raises what you can do, and this site has never claimed that is the same as raising where you stand.

What each of them is ranked on

The killer · Mahito · rank 10

Jujutsu Kaisencomicanimation

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.

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.

Kokichi Muta on the Jujutsu Kaisen ladder

What this does not settle

One death in one work. It is the only place the record puts these two in the same room, and it is evidence about that meeting and nothing wider — not a general matchup, not a rematch, and not a ranking of its own.

The ladder above it is argued from everything either of them has been shown doing; this page is argued from one citation.

Where the two disagree, the disagreement is the point, and it stays visible rather than being resolved by whichever of them happens to be on this page.
