The universe of Jujutsu Kaisen revolves around the concept of cursed energy, a potent yet perilous magical force wielded by some. However, this energy can sometimes surge uncontrollably within ordinary individuals, spawning cursed spirits - grotesque entities fueled by hatred, fear, and other negative emotions, posing imminent dangers to those in their vicinity.
While their abilities are nightmarish, their ghastly visages amplify the sense of peril. Most cursed spirits bear little resemblance to humans, each presenting a unique, twisted form that mirrors a specific fear, intensifying the sense of dread they evoke.
7 Mahito (Human)
An Unassuming Vessel of Malice
- Anime Debut: Episode 7
- Manga Debut: Chapter 16
Among the notable cursed spirits in Jujutsu Kaisen stands Mahito, inflicting severe wounds on the protagonist Yuji, leaving indelible scars. Despite his significant threat, Mahito's appearance is deceptively unalarming compared to his eerie counterparts.
Mahito assumes a human guise, with his sole distinguishing feature being stitches, allowing him to masquerade as human and manipulate those around him, as seen in the Vs. Mahito Arc with Junpei Yoshino.
6 Jogo
A Blazing Avatar of Catastrophe
- Anime Debut: Episode 5
- Manga Debut: Chapter 10
Similar to Mahito, Jogo, a calamity curse member, embodies humanity's dread of natural disasters like volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. His combat style, reliant on destructive natural elements such as fire and rocks, resonates with his appearance, emphasizing his nature as a disaster curse.
Jogo, with his rock-hued skin and volcano-like protrusion, exudes an aura of menace reflecting his disaster curse essence. However, his occasional restraint prevents him from reaching truly terrifying heights.
5 Dagon
A Lovecraftian Menace
- Anime Debut: Episode 5
- Manga Debut: Chapter 10
Despite his lesser prominence, Dagon leaves a lasting impression with viewers. As the disaster curse of sea-related calamities, Dagon shines in a showdown against formidable sorcerers, evolving into a more formidable form.
Resembling a humanoid octopus, Dagon's eerie fusion of man and sea creature draws heavily from Lovecraftian Mythos, particularly Cthulhu, infusing Jujutsu Kaisen with an extra layer of dread.
