Summary
The power system inJujutsu Kaisenis a bit complex, with jujutsu sorcerers and cursed spirits employing cursed energy to perform unique techniques. Some of these techniques are innate and are passed down through generations in strong sorcerer families, like the Gojo family, while some are manifested randomly.

Gege Akutami took his time to craft many of these techniques with varying mechanics and intricate explanations for how they work. Few series have their fans needing to rack their brains to fully understand the techniques in use likeJujutsu Kaisen. With that in mind, here are some of the most complicated powers in the series.
10Seance Technique (Grandma Ogami)
The Seance Technique is a sacred one that connects the sorcerer to a deceased person and grants them access to their soul information to transform themselves or someone else into the dead person.
However, for the transformation to work, the corpse to be used must be present, and the target of the transformation can take on the physical abilities of the deceased. One of this technique’s famous use cases is when Ogami killed her target’s daughter and transformed into her so she could get close to him and kill him.
9Puppet Manipulation (Principal Yaga)
Principal Yaga Masamichi’sinnate technique is the most refined type of puppet manipulation depicted in the show. By creating a cursed energy core and putting it inside dolls, he can make sentient beings with various properties, abilities, and use cases, like his prized possession, Panda, which has three cores with varying skills and looks.
Unlike Kokichi Muta, who had to control his puppets by himself, Yaga’s cursed corpses can operate independently and either fight, support jujutsu sorcerers during battle, or train them to achieve specific things like cursed energy control.
8Projection Technique (Naobito Zen’in)
The Zen’in family is one of the four great Jujutsu Familieswith a host of innate techniques, and of the strongest is the projection technique that Naobito Zen’in, the current head of the family, and his son Naoya possess.
It allows the user to break one second into twenty-four frames and fit various moves into those frames, so when the sequence is over, they will perform them all in a second, making them appear to move extraordinarily fast. The user or whoever is touched by them must follow the 24 FPS rule, or they will be frozen in time for a second.
7Love Rendezvous (Kirara Hoshi)
The innate technique of Kirara Hoshi involves placing Southern Cross constellation star marks on people and objects that have been imbued with cursed energy, which is fitting considering ‘Hoshi’ means star in Japanese. The technique requires people or things marked with a star to follow a set path to approach another marked target, or else objects with a similar mark will attract them.

The stars Imai, Acrux, Mimosa, Ginan, and Gacrux must approach each other in that order, meaning an object marked with Imai cannot move close to a Mimosa-marked thing without already touching one with the Acrux.
6Idle Transfiguration (Mahito)
Mahito, the special-grade cursed spirit, employs a close-range technique that allows him to transfigure and disfigure the soul and the body of whoever he touches. He can also use the technique on himself to change his form and size, likeDemon Slayer’s Kibutsuji Muzan, allowing him to heal from any non-lethal blows instantly and even grow body parts back.
However, he is more vulnerable to attacks that directly affect the soul, like Yuji’s punches, and even though he can still heal from them, they destabilize him.
5Limitless (Gojo)
Limitless is the basis for GojoSatoru’s Infinity, bringing the concept of the otherwise unrealistic infinite space to reality and allowing him to distort space as he pleases. It works hand in hand with his Six Eyes to greatly boost the efficiency and output of his technique.
Any dangerous object or attack moving towards Gojo slows down infinitely, allowing it to never touch him by dividing the space between them an infinite amount of times. He can also use its power to attract, repel, and erase matter.
4Sky Manipulation (Takako Uro)
Sky Manipulation is an ancient innate technique employed by Takako Uro, a jujutsusorcerer who lived a thousandyears before the main events ofJujutsu Kaisen.The technique allows her to control the sky and manifest it as a physical surface that can allow her to manipulate and distort anything under the sky as the light comes from the sky above, akin to the distortion of an image if viewed under a lens.

This allows her to fly and distort the shape of incoming attacks, hence blunting the forces of enemy assaults. She can also rupture the sky’s surface, crashing down like a layer of ice on her chosen target.
3Contractual Re-Creation (Reggie Star)
Reggie Star uses this technique to recreate the main subject of a contract, like an item or service paid for in a receipt. The user must pour his cursed energy into the receipt and burn it to activate the technique.
The recreated items behave like a shikigami, which can be controlled by the caster’s mind, for example, creating knives and commanding them to fly toward an opponent, after which they would disappear upon completing the task. He can also use the receipt from a spa to refresh himself and gain stamina.
2Black Flash (Itadori Yuji)
Black Flash is the byproduct of the impact caused when a physical strike is followed by cursed energy, applied with a great impulse in the span of one-millionth of a second. The result is a devastating hit with 2.5 times the strength of a regular punch or kick coated in cursed energy.
The state of mind achieved once Black Flash is activated grants users easy control over their cursed energy, allowing them to stretch their maximum power limit to 120%. There are a host ofpeople who can use thistechnique, but Itadori Yuji is the most proficient at it.
1Ratio Technique (Nanami Kento)
Nanami’s technique is one of the oddest ever displayed in Shonen anime, employing ratios to create a weak point in his target forcefully. It creates a visual representation of a scale from one to ten on the target, and if the user can hit the opponent at the seven to three ratio point,he will deal devastating damageto strong opponents or outright destroy weaker ones.
Nanami uses this technique in collaboration with his blunt sword but can also use it barehanded, so long as he can strike the weak point.
