Jujutsu Kaisen female characters are extremely powerful, unlike many from popular shonen anime. Gege Akutami did not hesitate to portray strong female sorcerers in the manga.
Apart from possessing immense strength, characters like Maki, Yuki, Uro, and the like, portray effective combat ability and cunningness. They’re involved in the integral part of the plot in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe.
While all of Jujutsu Kaisen's female characters are crucial to the narrative and have an immense presence, this listicle enlists 7 strongest Jujutsu Kaisen female characters, ranked in order of least to most powerful.

From Mei Mei to Maki Zenin, here's a list of 7 strongest Jujutsu Kaisen female characters, ranked
7) Hana Kurusu
Hana is the vessel of the Heian-era sorcerer “Angel”, who co-exists with her instead of controlling her body. Kenjaku incarnated Angel inside Hana for the culling game.
Angel’s ability of “Heavenly Restriction” makes Hana a highly sought opponent by her foes. This technique grants her the power to nullify any curse technique, making her one of the strongest Jujutsu Kaisen female characters.
During the culling game, she skilfully used her newfound ability and even tried to strip Sukuna away from Yuji’s body. However, her most significant impact in the plot was to free Gojo from the “Prison Realm”.
6) Mei Mei
Mei Mei is one of the grade 1 sorcerers in Jujutsu Kaisen. Mei Mei is great at mid-range combat and has magnificent tactical intelligence, which has been proven again and again in various battles.
Despite having a weak innate technique— “bird manipulation” she trained to use it to her advantage during battles. With Gojo claiming her “strong”, she is undoubtedly one of the strongest Jujutsu Kaisen female characters.
5) Rika
Rika, known as the “queen of curses” was a young girl before turning into a vengeful spirit. Rika stayed with Yuta Okkotsu after turning into a “special grade curse” due to her obsession with him.
Rika was a formidable curse and was ordered for persecution, however, Gojo intervened and stopped it. Rika is a destructive force against any enemy, and with her aid Yuta nearly killed Suguru. Yuta became the youngest special-grade sorcerer in Jujutsu High due to Rika’s power.
Even though there are varied arguments as to identifying Rika’s gender, she is mostly regarded as a female in both anime and manga. With her immense curse energy, Rika is considered to be one of the strongest Jujutsu Kaisen female characters.
4) Takako Uro
Takako Uro is another Heian-era sorcerer, who was incarnated during the culling game. Uro’s ability to “manipulate the sky” and “wrap the space” makes her extremely powerful. During, the Heian period, she led the 'Sun', 'Moon', and 'Stars' squads of the Fujiwara clan.
Uro is known to have fought Sukuna back in the Heian era. During the early stage of the culling game, she was one of the highest-scoring individuals.
Her fight with Yuta and Ryu up to their par was memorable. She was the first person to land a direct hit on Ryu during their fight. Moreover, her strategic ability, prolonged experiences on the battlefield, and unique curse technique make her one of the most powerful Jujutsu Kaisen female characters.
3) Yorozu
Yorozu is another Heian-era sorcerer, incarnated during culling games, like Angel and Uro. She was incarnated inside Tsumiki Fushiguro’s body and chose to keep Tsukimi’s appearance. She is also related to the Fujiwara clan, like Uro.
Yorozu has an eccentric personality and is ferocious during any battle. Her obsession with marrying Sukuna while defeating him is extreme to the point of being cynical.
Yorozu’s mastery of her technique was proven by her creation of “True Sphere” with domain expansion, during her combat with Sukuna, and it was truly magnificent. Like Mei Mei, Yorozu possessed a weak innate ability, however, her dedication and strategic use of it made her one of the strongest Jujutsu Kaisen female characters.
2) Maki Zenin
Maki Zenin is the “Black sheep” of the Zenin clan in the current generation. Zenin clan’s obsession with curse technique and fame has given birth to monsters like Toji and Maki.
Maki is Toji’s rightful successor, transcending the limitations of lacking curse energy. The prolonged oppression of the Zenin clan and Mai Zenin’s apparent sacrifice made her go berserk and annihilate the whole Zenin clan.
Maki has already been a powerful combatant and a skilled user of cursed tools, along with that, having Mai’s cursed power, she became invincible. With dedication and newfound ability, Maki is definitely one of the most powerful Jujutsu Kaisen female characters.
1) Yuki Tsukumo
Yuki Tsukumo, the wielder of Garuda shikigami, had the most stunning debut in the anime. She emerged and nullified Uraume’s attack with a blow.
Yuki is an elite special-grade sorcerer with immense endurance, tactical skills, and the unique ability— “star rage”. As a former “Star plasma Vessel,” she possesses high cursed energy, which makes her a formidable foe during prolonged battles. She used to work independently towards a curse-free world.
During the culling game, she and Choso proposed to protect others, but she died while fatally injuring Kenjaku. Yuki Tsukumo might be the strongest Jujutsu Kaisen female character.
In conclusion
Jujutsu Kaisen has some of the most iconic anime characters in anime history. Gege Akutami has done a great job of involving female characters in the main narrative of the anime. It is a refreshing experience for the audience who like strong female characters.
Most of the female characters in the anime are crucial to the narrative. Ranking them, however, is hard, since we never find the strongest female characters fighting each other.
