Cursed Technique: 4 Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Techniques useful for daily life (& 4 that are virtually useless)

Jujutsu Kaisen's concept of Cursed Techniques is quite unique and intriguing. With about 262 chapters of the story released, fans have been treated to some creative uses of the technique. The battles have been intense, and the use of CTs only elevates them further.

Each character possesses a distinct Cursed Technique, such as Yuta Okkotsu's Copy, Todo Aoi's Boogie Woogie, Mei Mei's Black Bird Manipulation, and many more. We have already seen how they fare in battle, but that leads to another interesting point - Which ones would and wouldn't be useful for daily life?

Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Techniques fit for daily use

1) Shoko Ieiri - Reverse Cursed Technique

One of Jujutsu Kaisen's most useful Cursed Techniques would be the Reverse Cursed Technique (RCT). This technique reverses Cursed Energy (CE) into positive energy. The RCT is mainly used for healing, as its positive energy can reproduce blood, bone, flesh, and organs and even recover entire limbs.

Speaking of daily use, if one possesses a technique like this, they would nearly never need to seek medical help again. Injuries could be healed in a flash and if proficient enough, they could heal others too. It would be invaluable when immediate first aid is required.

2) Megumi Fushiguro - Ten Shadows Technique

Megumi Fushiguro's Ten Shadows Technique, dubbed as potentially Jujutsu Kaisen's strongest technique, allows users to call upon 10 shikigami using their shadow as an intermediary. Moreover, it grants the user overall shadow manipulation, allowing them to hide in shadows or store objects within them.

To begin with, this Cursed Technique would be a hit amongst animal lovers. Shikgami like Divine Dogs, the Rabbits, and even Max Elephant, would receive a lot of love from those who hold animals dear.

Additionally, storing objects in shadows could prove immensely useful, especially when traveling, eliminating the need to be too concerned about how and what to carry.

3) Gojo Satoru - Limitless

Jujutsu Kaisen's most loved Gojo Satoru possesses a priceless technique - Limitless. It grants the user near-perfect control over space through CE manipulation down to the atomic level. Space Manipulation is just its base layer, with Infinity, Lapse (Blue), Reversal (Red), and Hollow (Purple) being the other three.

In real life, it would be quite useful. For instance, the most basic use would be protection from sudden weather changes like rain, without worrying about getting wet. Next, it would serve as a layer of protection from unforeseen harm or danger, disallowing anything, in its neutral form, from directly touching the user.

4) Reggie Star - Contractual Re-creation

An intriguing Jujutsu Kaisen character was Reggie Star from the Culling Games. His Cursed Technique, Contractual Re-creation, stood out especially, materializing the contents of a receipt by burning it with CE. This wasn't limited to physical objects, with the effects of services also included. Re-created items could be commanded and would disappear upon command fulfillment.

The real-life uses of a technique like this are endless. Quite literally anything can be materialized as and when required, with no restriction as such. It is likely the most useful technique among the ones mentioned on this list.

Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Techniques unfit for everyday use

1) Suguru Geto - Cursed Spirit Manipulation

As impressive as Suguru Geto's Cursed Technique is, it likely finds little use in daily life. His technique, Cursed Spirit Manipulation, allows him to control cursed spirits. Captured curses are absorbed into small black orbs that he ingests orally. If the difference in grade is more than two levels, he can absorb them easily.

Looking at it from a real-life viewpoint, hardly any use can come from this technique. It has proven immensely powerful in battle, but outside it, not so much. A probable use would be Cursed Spirits, which can store items, but beyond that, there isn't much to fit it into daily life.

2) Takako Uro - Sky Manipulation

Another player from Jujutsu Kaisen's Culling Games is reincarnated sorcerer Takako Uro. Previously, she was the captain of the Sun, Moon, and Stars Squad, an assassin group affiliated with the Fujiwara Clan. Her Cursed Technique allows her to grab hold of and pull the surrounding atmosphere as if it were a solid sheet or cloak. She effectively controls space in a way similar to a lens, creating distortions.

In battle, it can be used as both offense and defense, as seen when she fought Yuta. However, from a daily use perspective, a regular person would find little use for an ability like this. At most, levitation would be a fun way to get around, but apart from that, it wouldn't be handy.

3) Kirara Hoshi - Love Rendezvous

Kirara Hoshi is a supporting character in Jujutsu Kaisen, helping Kinji Hakari run his fight club. Their Cursed Technique, Love Rendezvous, apportions five stars with a motif of the Southern Cross constellation. It aims to target and mark CE in the most basic sense. Marked objects can be attracted/repelled as required.

Apart from how it was used in the manga, it likely won't be very effective in real life. Attracting and repelling objects wouldn't be all that useful in daily life.

4) Nobara Kugisaki - Straw Doll Technique

Finally, Nobara Kugisaki's Cursed Technique concludes this list. Her technique's deadliness was evident during the Shibuya Incident when she had Mahito on the defensive. Her technique involves utilizing jujutsu through tools like a hammer, nails, and a straw doll. She can share damage between the doll and her target by channeling her cursed energy through the tools.

While it is very effective during battle, as seen in the initial stages of the manga, the same cannot be said for daily life. Why would one want to harm another through the means of a straw doll?
