Jacob's Ladder, Sukuna summoning Nue, and 20 other biggest shows of power in the entire Jujutsu Kaisen, ranked
22) Kinji Hakari using his auto-healing to avoid death against Kashimo
Kinji's use of his auto-healing technique in the battle against Kashimo stands among the most impressive shows of power in Jujutsu Kaisen. During his unkillable mode, he exhibited terrific resilience when his arm was regenerated immediately when dismembered; this way, he could continue his attack without folding.
His ability to negate fatal damage, even to his head, proves extremely overwhelming because of the power he has in his Reverse Cursed Technique. It not only rendered Kashimo off guard but made it shift in favor of Kinji as well, something the sheer strength and resilience behind his ability have always been known for.
21) Mahito using Black Flash against Yuji
Mahito’s use of Black Flash against Yuji is a powerful and terrifying display of Cursed Energy mastery. After emotionally devastating Yuji by mortally wounding Nobara, Mahito took advantage of his emotional vulnerability and unleashed a perfectly timed Black Flash. The strike sent Yuji flying across Shibuya Station, displaying Mahito’s ability to combine psychological warfare with raw power.
Such force, accuracy, and precise control over Cursed Energy completely overwhelmed Yuji. This attack shows Mahito’s developing skill and ruthless nature, making it one of the biggest shows of power in the entire Jujutsu Kaisen.
20) Yuta immobilizing Yuji
This battle between Yuji Itadori and Yuta Okkotsu occurs after the revocation of Yuji's execution, but this time with Yuta as his executioner. The battle is close and intense, in which Yuta shows his striking superiority when he immobilizes Yuji by summoning Rika.
Although Yuji is incredibly fast and strong, he is completely overwhelmed by Yuta's Cursed Energy and Rika's enormous strength. This scene highlights Yuta's control over the usage of his very influential energy and Rika’s terrifying presence, creating one of the most remarkable visuals of his powers ever drawn.
19) A random non-sorcerer cuts a building in half
A random non-sorcerer cutting a building in half stands as one of the most striking feats in Jujutsu Kaisen. Daido Hagane, a reincarnated player devoid of any Cursed Energy and Heavenly Restriction, can only manage with his katana and absolute lethality to achieve this devastating act.
What makes it more impressive is his ability to deal major damage regardless of being unable to see curses, like the Jujustu sorcerers. Daido’s sheer skill allows him to slice a massive structure with precision and power, showcasing the heights human capability can reach without any supernatural advantage and with just raw expertise.
18) Gojo’s first domain expansion against Jogo
Gojo's first Domain Expansion on Jogo is a historical representation of his powers in Jujutsu Kaisen. Unleashing the Unlimited Void, Gojo seals Jogo into a dimension he cannot escape and drowns him in countless pieces of information. The scene is not only visually impressive, but it also avails Gojo's unmatched mastery over Cursed Energy.
What makes this moment particularly impressive is that it was the first Domain Expansion showcased in the storyline, which later sets a high standard for what sorcerers and curses could achieve. Gojo effortlessly outclassed Jogo, solidifying his reputation as the most powerful sorcerer.
17) Kenjaku starting the Culling Game
Kenjaku's introduction of the Culling Game in Jujutsu Kaisen represents a fantastic display of strategic power and manipulation since he orchestrates a murderous tournament forcing sorcerers and curses to battle for survival. It not only displays a tremendous amount of Cursed Energy he possesses but also his intelligence in holding and regulating the dynamics of conflict.
Culling Game not only tests the very nature of the Jujutsu world but at the same time shows Kenjaku's ability to control reality to his own advantage. With Culling Game, Kenjaku fueled a sense of fear and uncertainty in the hearts of the sorcerers, establishing him as a formidable antagonist.
16) Ryu blocking Rika's blast of Cursed Energy
Ryu was able to block a directed blast of Cursed Energy from Rika with only one hand while showing impressive resistance and skill. This moment shows his power of resistance to overwhelming force even when faced with the tremendous power of Rika, a curse known for her superhuman strength.
Ryu’s mastery over his Cursed Energy gives him the ability to absorb the impact, which helps him deliver powerful counterattacks regardless of sustaining severe injuries. His flexibility against Rika's powerful blast represents the extraordinary power dynamics in Jujutsu Kaisen, making this moment one of the greatest exhibitions of power.
15) Kenjaku ingesting Mahito
Kenjaku's act of consuming one of the Disaster Curses, Mahito, is a major plot point in Jujutsu Kaisen, highlighting the depths of his cunning and the immense power at his disposal. After his defeat by Yuji, it was pretty simple for Kenjaku to seal Mahito inside his black sphere through Maximum: Uzumaki, which extracted Mahito's Idle Transfiguration ability.
This strategic acquisition is not only to build up his capabilities but also shows Kenjaku's faith in Cursed Spirit Manipulation. By absorbing Mahito, he can execute and utilize all kinds of curses, giving opponents a chance to adapt.
14) Sukuna summoning Nue
After taking control of Megumi's body, Sukuna summoned Nue to fight Maki Zenin and Fumihiko Takaba in Jujutsu Kaisen. His version of Nue is much bigger and much stronger compared to the first time it was used against him by Megumi, which signifies Sukuna has complete mastery over powerful cursed techniques.
The huge creature released massive surges of electricity all over the Tokyo No. 1 Colony, revealing a destructive power that was too overwhelming for his opponents. After struggling with Yuji and Maki, Sukuna escaped from the place with Nue by carrying both himself and Uraume, as it had increased in size and power.
13) Gojo using Hollow Purple against Toji
During his second confrontation with Toji Fushiguro, Satoru Gojo unleashed the devastating Hollow Purple for the first time. This became a defining moment in Jujutsu Kaisen since, prior to that, Gojo had never ever been able to use Red and, subsequently, Purple until he actually unlocked the Limitless technique's proper strength.
Although Toji knew how to counter Gojo's Red and Blue techniques, he did not know the remaining mystery Hollow Purple belonging to the Gojo Clan. The force was powerful enough to leave Toji defenseless and hit him directly, erasing half of his body from the left side.
12) Gojo maximized his reverse cursed technique to rapidly heal in Malevolent Shrine
In the intense confrontation in Malevolent Shrine, Gojo showed the remarkable resilience of maximizing his reverse cursed technique. Despite injuries from Sukuna's slashes, he rejuvenated himself by dispensing an amount of reverse Cursed Energy.
He could use it to temper the damage as he fought, activating a Simple Domain simultaneously. However, the more he fought and the deeper his technique fatigue grew, Gojo was driven to do something desperate, injuring the engraving of his technique in his brain to recover from the exhaustion.
11) Sukuna fighting 12 sorcerers in the Shinjuku Showdown arc
In the Shinjuku Showdown arc of Jujutsu Kaisen, Sukuna meets twelve sorcerers. Though each of the sorcerers has his own talent and strategy, Sukuna crushes them mercilessly, showcasing power and control over the Cursed Energy that was undefeated by anyone.
The ability to respond and counter diverse techniques further underlines not only combat prowess but also the skills in the strategic field. The sheer number of opponents attached to Sukuna strengthens the dominance of the character in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe, showing that he is able to fight multiple solid adversaries at once.
10) Yuji pushes through Sukuna's slashes
In Jujutsu Kaisen, Yuji Itadori's determination shines through when Yuji clashes with Sukuna and shows some miraculous resilience in the face of adversity. In a fierce clash, Sukuna unleashes a barrage of slashes aimed at Yuji, but the latter astounded everybody by pushing through the shallow wounds inflicted upon him.
This sums up the invincibility of Yuji's spirit as he endured Sukuna's callous attack as well as passed on a devastating blow. This fully captures the raw intensity of their battle and covers the transformation that Yuji undergoes as a sorcerer willing to face unimaginable pain.
9) Sukuna using Divine Flames against Jogo
Sukuna's use of Divine Flames against Jogo is a crucial moment in Jujutsu Kaisen. This moment is striking, especially as it is the first time Sukuna uses a fire technique and catches not only Jogo off guard but also the fans.
The flames, imbued with Cursed Energy, incinerate everything in their path, showing how much control Sukuna has over his powers. The use of Divine Flames not only shows his adaptability but also solidifies his position as King of the Curses.
8) Maki annihilating entire Zenin clan
Maki's assault on the Zenin clan has been a strong statement of her power and resolve. Fueled by her sister Mai's death, she stepped out to break down every single member of the Hei and Kukuru units in an organized and ruthless campaign.
Without Cursed Energy, she relied on pure brute strength and technique, slaughtering an entire clan that once abhorred her. Her coldness during the butchering, with her ruthless accuracy in battle, made her an unstoppable force. This makes Maki's annihilation of the Zenin clan one of the most impressive power shows in the entire Jujutsu Kaisen.
7) Mahoraga’s dimension cutting Slash killing Gojo
Gojo's Infinity was an impenetrable defense, but Mahoraga's adaptation capability let Sukuna bypass it. Through careful strategy, Sukuna utilized the Divine General in breaking through the World Splitting Dismantle, a tactic that cuts between worlds and dismisses even the strongest defenses.
The overwhelming force exerted to overcome Gojo’s Limitless barrier and to land the final blow indicates the extraordinary level of power and precision. Mahoraga’s role in killing Gojo is undeniably one of the biggest shows of power in the entire Jujutsu Kaisen.
6) Jacob's Ladder
Jacob's Ladder is one of the most awe-inspiring displays of power in the series. It is an extension of the Technique Extinguishment made by the Angel, calling forth a divine, multi-layer magic array and a four-winged trumpet with which to release a lit column of light that would cleanse curses.
The sheer scale of this technique is astonishing; it can obliterate special-grade cursed objects like Ryomen Sukuna and even break open the impenetrable Prison Realm. When Hana Kurusu used Jacob's Ladder at full Cursed Energy, it severely injured Sukuna and nearly banished him.
5) Gojo’s Limitless Technique
Combined with his rare possession of the Six Eyes, Gojo's Limitless Technique creates an unprecedented balance of power in the Jujutsu Kaisen world. His birth alone shifted the global power dynamics, leading to a massive bounty on his head due to his overwhelming strength.
The Limitless brings the notion of infinity into reality. It is the effects that let Gojo manipulate space with physics, defying capabilities in ways to place himself behind an impenetrable wall.
4) Gojo annihilating 1,000 transfigured humans after his 0.2 sec domain
Gojo killing 1,000 transfigured humans after using his 0.2-second Domain Expansion is quite a show of power. During the chaos, Gojo unleashes his Unlimited Void, temporarily flooding the minds of the transfigured humans with overwhelming information.
His precision in unleashing a 0.2-second Domain Expansion prevents any harm to civilians but puts them into suspended movements while killing all the enemy completely.
The scale of eliminating 1,000 enemies within under 300 seconds signifies Gojo's unrivaled dominance in the manipulation of cursed techniques along with his capacity to deal with overwhelming threats.
3) Yuki’s transformation into a Black Hole
Severely injured, Yuki reveals her strongest technique, Star Rage, and creates a black hole, powerful enough to consume the whole planet. The magnitude of such a move is monstrous in the sense that it will obliterate everything in its radius but is still controlled, showcasing Yuki's mastery over gravitational forces.
Yuki's last-ditch effort to take Kenjaku down along with her is both awe-inspiring and terrifying, highlighting the boundless strength of cursed techniques in the series. This places Yuki’s transformation into a Black Hole among the three most impressive shows of power in the story.
2) Sukuna’s domain in the Shibuya Incident arc
Sukuna's domain expansion, Malevolent Shrine, which manifests without any barriers in the Shibuya Incident, merges into the surrounding air, which is quite unusual among domain expansions. Its super wide range, close to 200 meters, creates a gale of attacks that raze everything within its area based on their level of Cursed Energy.
The domain’s ability to guarantee a hit across such a huge area makes it devastatingly effective. This terrifying combination of precision and scope makes Malevolent Shrine the second biggest shows of power in the entire Jujutsu Kaisen.
1) Gojo vs Sukuna domain clash
The battle between Sukuna and Gojo featured multiple rounds of their overpowered Domain Expansions, Gojo's Unlimited Void, and Sukuna's Malevolent Shrine, highlighting the pinnacle of cursed techniques. Every clash showed unmatched mastery and raw strength wielded by both the sorcerers.
The strategic shrinking of Gojo’s domain and Sukuna's open barrier advantage pushed the limits of their abilities. The intensity, complexity, and sheer havoc of their back-and-forth domain clashes left fans captivated, making it the biggest show of power in the entire Jujutsu Kaisen.
Final thoughts
Jujutsu Kaisen presents the most stunning array of power displays, where every scene is more spectacular than the previous one. The collisions of Sukuna and Gojo show an awe-inspiring effect, while the strategic brilliance of Kenjaku itself solidifies the feel or intensity experienced throughout the series.
Each character's unique abilities contribute to the overall narrative, making each fight essentially a tribute to their strength and willpower.
