Jujutsu Kaisen manga is now in its final stretch and the students have come a long way to become some of the strongest modern-era sorcerers.
The Jujutsu Kaisen manga is ending soon. The series will wrap up the story with Chapter 271, which will be released on September 30, 2024. Before the finale, the manga has completed its final arc – the Shinjuku Showdown Arc – in Chapter 268.
The fight against the King of Curses has finally come to an end. Yuji, with the help of Nobara and the other sorcerers, kills Sukuna and saves Megumi from him. While the ordeal is finally over, the battle has been devastating, and modern-era sorcerers have suffered great losses.
Despite that, the new age has certain exceptional talents, especially with the balance of curses changing after Gojo’s birth. So, we’re ranking the 10 strongest Jujutsu Kaisen sorcerers of the modern era.
10. Atsuya Kusakabe
![Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 253 spoilers](https://www.dexerto.com/cdn-image/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/05/jujutsu-kaisen-kusakabe.jpeg?width=3840&quality=75&format=auto)
During the Shinjuku Showdown Arc, Jujutsu Kaisen reveals that Kusakabe is the strongest first-grade sorcerer outside the established clans. The Three Major Clans produce the strongest sorcerers in every generation.
Despite not belonging to a special bloodline, Kusakabe has a high level of cursed energy and he makes up for his lack of innate technique by mastering Anti-Domain Techniques like New Shadow Style.
He can also use ‘Hazy Moon,’ a new shadow-style technique that recreates part of a broken blade with cursed energy. He uses it against Sukuna, but the latter predicts his next move with ease.
9. Megumi Fushiguro
![Jujutsu Kaisen Megumi Fushiguro main character](https://www.dexerto.com/cdn-image/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/12/jujutsu-kaisen-chapter-263-megumi.jpg?width=3840&quality=75&format=auto)
Megumi Fushiguro has stayed trapped in despair for a long as the sorcerers risk life and limb to rescue him. With his Ten Shadows Technique, Megumi is one of the most talented sorcerers in the entire verse. But he’s held back by his lack of experience and training, which is reflected in his battles.
Ten Shadows is an inherited technique passed down through the Zenin Family. It allows the user to call upon ten different Shikigami to help them – offensively or defensively – in battle. What separates Megumi from other Ten Shadows users is that he also fights his opponents instead of letting the Shikigami do his bidding.
8. Aoi Todo

The Shinjuku Showdown Arc brings back Aoi Todo for the first time after the Shibuya Incident. Even after losing a hand, he returns stronger than ever. With his arm replaced by an instrument called “vibraslap,” he can control how to trigger his Boogie Woogie.
Todo can even swap people 50 times in a second. Instead of using a powerful curse technique, Todo relies on his physical strength to defeat his enemies. His Boogie Woogie is also useful when used as a distraction.
7. Maki Zenin

Maki is one of the best fighters in the series. After losing against Jogo in the Shibuya Incident, she barely survives thanks to her heavenly-restricted body. Losing Mai unlocks the full extent of her potential, which also displays parallels with Toji Fushiguro.
She is now able to see curses without her glasses and wields the Split Soul Katana that Mai left behind for her. The cursed tool can bypass any physical resistance to cut right at the soul of any target. Maki shows her new chops during her fight against Sukuna, amazing the villain with her very existence.
6. Kinji Hakari

Hakari is one of the students Gojo thought was capable of surpassing him. With incredible physical strength, cursed energy, unusual technique, and a terrifying Domain Expansion, he is by far one of the strongest characters in Jujutsu Kaisen manga.
Hakari first appears in the Culling Game Arc. His innate technique, ‘Private Pure Love Train,’ is primarily applied through domain expansion, ‘Idle Death Gamble.’ While we know Hakari is one of the strongest of the bunch, we never get to see more from him as his fight against Uraume is dealt entirely off-screen.
5. Suguru Geto
![Suguru Geto from Jujutsu Kaisen](https://www.dexerto.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=3840,quality=75,format=auto/https://editors.dexerto.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/11/suguru-geto-jujutsu-kaisen.jpg)
Geto is one of the special-grade sorcerers who stands above the standard ranking system of Jujutsu Kaisen. His Cursed Spirit Manipulation allows him to control vagabond cursed spirits in Jujutsu Kaisen 0, he had thousands of cursed spirits at his disposal.
Apart from that, his Maximum Uzumaki is an extension of his innate technique, which combines a massive number of collected curses into one powerful attack. He used over four thousand curses in his maximum technique during his fight with Yuta.
4. Yuki Tsukumo
![An image of Yuji Tsukumo from Jujutsu Kaisen](https://www.dexerto.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=3840,quality=75,format=auto/https://editors.dexerto.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/13/jujutsu-kaisen-yuki-tsukumo.jpeg)
As a special-grade sorcerer, Yuki has unparalleled cursed energy and a strong innate technique. Her innate technique, ‘Star Rage,’ allows her to grant virtual mass to herself and her shikigami, Garuda. After activating her cursed energy, she gains devastating destructive force, capable of effortlessly exorcising a special-grade curse.
On top of that, she can also use Simple Domain and Domain Expansion. Although the manga never showed her Domain Expansion, she tells Tengen about how she can expand her domain and imbue it with her innate technique.
3. Yuji Itadori

Ui Ui helped Yuji swap bodies with Kusakabe to learn Simple Domain, Choso to learn Blood Manipulation, and Yuta to learn Reverse Cursed Technique during the time skip. He’s unable to reach his maximum potential due to the time crunch.
On top of his excellent physical skills, Yuji can also use Black Flash, which multiplies the output of his physical attacks. As the fight goes on, he reveals his new powers, including his cursed technique Shrine, his soul-affecting attacks, and a mysterious Domain Expansion.
2. Yuta Okkotsu
![Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 ending Yuta](https://www.dexerto.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=3840,quality=75,format=auto/https://editors.dexerto.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/29/jujutsu-kaisen-yuta.jpeg)
Yuta is another special-grade sorcerer whose abilities are second only to Satoru Gojo. The young sorcerer’s innate technique, ‘Copy,’ paired with the special-grade apparition Rika, makes him one of the most powerful sorcerers in Jujutsu Kaisen history.
He also has an expansive cursed energy reserve even more than Satoru Gojo. In the manga, Yuta also copied Angel’s Jacob’s Ladder and Kenjaku’s technique. He has taken over Gojo’s body and fought a rematch against Sukuna.
1. Satoru Gojo
![Jujutsu Kaisen Satoru Gojo](https://www.dexerto.com/cdn-image/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/08/jujutsu-kaisen-satoru-gojo.jpeg?width=3840&quality=75&format=auto)
Gojo is the strongest sorcerer of the modern era and the only one who able to hold his own against the King of Curses in a one-on-one battle. Even after the battle against Sukuna has been going on for a while, no sorcerer has done more damage than Gojo.
Although sorcerers from the Gojo Clan often inherit Limitless, only someone with Six Eyes can fully tap into its potential. That, paired with Gojo’s Domain Expansion and Reverse Cursed Technique sets him apart from other sorcerers. Even now, there’s no other character who is close to his level, other than Sukuna, of course.
