Among the strongest Jujutsu Kaisen female characters, Yorozu's might is evident during her present-day confrontation with Sukuna (in Megumi’s body) during the culling games.
This showdown is significant as Sukuna uses Fushiguro’s body and Cursed Technique to kill Yorozu alongside Tsumiki, which profoundly impacts the narrative by helping Sukuna submerge Megumi’s soul, thus making it easier for him to gain full control of Megumi's body.

7) Riko Amanai
Riko Amanai is one of the most significant Jujutsu Kaisen female characters, playing a key role during Gojo’s Past Arc. Because Amanai was a star plasma vessel for Master Tengen, Gojo and Geto were tasked to protect her.
Although she lost her life to Toji Fushiguro before the merger could occur, her interactions with Gojo and Geto profoundly impacted them, contributing to their character development. Her death marked the beginning of Geto’s downfall, shifting his perspective on society and non-sorcerers.
6) Mai Zen’in
Maki’s twin sister, Mai Zen’in, is one of the most significant Jujutsu Kaisen female characters. Mai greatly contributes to Maki’s character development and plays a crucial role during the Perfect Preparation Arc, where the sisters face a certain death. Mai sacrifices herself to save Maki, removing their cursed energy from the world.
As Maki’s cursed energy drops to zero, her Heavenly Restriction becomes on par with Toji’s. This power-up enables Maki to single-handedly massacre the entire Zen’in clan. Before dying, Mai also creates a replica of the split soul katana and gives it to Maki.
5) Rika Orimoto
Rika Orimoto is one of the Jujutsu Kaisen female characters who has significantly impacted the narrative. She played a crucial role in Yuta Okkotsu's journey to becoming a sorcerer. Rika is a key character in the show’s spin-off prequel series, Jujutsu Kaisen 0.
Her death led to the birth of the cursed spirit Rika, who accompanies Okkotsu. Cursed spirit Rika is considered the strongest special-grade cursed spirit in the series, earning the title of the Queen of Curses.
4) Mei Mei
Mei Mei is widely regarded as one of the most controversial characters in the series. As one of the strongest first-grade sorcerers and a prominent figure among Jujutsu Kaisen female characters, her relationship with her brother Ui Ui, as seen in season 2 episode 22, has sparked much debate among fans.
Despite this, Mei Mei plays a crucial role in the plot, particularly during Itadori and the sorcerers' final battle against Ryomen Sukuna.
3) Yuki Tsukumo
Among Jujutsu Kaisen female characters, Yuki Tsukumo, the only female special-grade sorcerer, plays a pivotal role in the series. Her influence is significant in both Gojo’s Past Arc and the present timeline. During Gojo’s Past Arc, her conversation with Suguru Geto profoundly impacted his perspective on society and non-sorcerers.
In the present timeline, Yuki saves Yuji and his allies from Pseudo-Geto/Kenjaku and Uraume. Later, she displays her might during her face-off with Kenjaku to protect Master Tengen, ultimately sacrificing herself.
2) Nobara Kugisaki
Nobara was a core member of the main trio in the story alongside protagonist Yuji Itadori and deuteragonist Megumi Fushiguro, holding one of the most significant roles among Jujutsu Kaisen female characters.
She confronted one of the series' most despised villains, the special grade curse Mahito, and was the only character besides Yuji capable of inflicting damage on him. Unfortunately, Mahito severely injured her. Despite this, fans remain hopeful for her return, as her fate remains uncertain in the narrative.
1) Maki Zen’in
Among all Jujutsu Kaisen female characters, Maki Zen’in holds one of the most significant roles in the narrative, earning her the top spot on this list. Unlike most Cursed Technique users, Maki is a sorcerer with zero cursed energy, setting her apart from the rest. As a female character, she plays a crucial role in the plot.
She essentially replaces Toji, the only male sorcerer without cursed energy who was powerful enough to challenge Satoru Gojo. Maki steps into his position, fighting toe-to-toe with the show's main villain, Sukuna, and earning his acknowledgment during their encounter.
She is also a close ally of the show's main protagonist, Yuji Itadori, and, as a member of the Zen’in family, has close ties with the deuteragonist, Megumi Fushiguro.
To conclude
All these Jujutsu Kaisen female characters serve a purpose in the narrative. While some play crucial roles, others have limited screen time, make brief appearances, or are merely mentioned. Yet, their presence significantly contributes to the plot.
Notably, characters like Kirara and Uraume have feminine appearances, yet the show does not explicitly confirm their gender. Therefore, these characters are excluded from this list.
