Jujutsu Kaisen has one of the most interesting and complex power systems in shounen anime, centered around the concept of curses and negative and positive energy. Jujutsu Sorcerers use cursed energy to increase their physical attributes and tap into unique abilities that grant them special powers. The skill ceiling of Jujutsu Sorcerers is limitless, as with the right amount of power and imagination, Jujutsu Sorcerers can accomplish wondrous or horrific acts.
The most powerful skill a jujutsu sorcerer can learn is the Domain Expansion. Domain Expansions are pocket dimensions created by powerful sorcerers that imbue their cursed technique with a sure-hit rule that traps targets in lethal situations. With the Culling Games arc approaching, many Domain Expansions will be revealed in the series. Not many sorcerers reach this level, but the ones that do create truly lethal Domains. Here are some of the most lethal Domain Expansions in Jujutsu Kaisen, ranked.
Time Cell Moon Palace
An Immobilizing Domain That Implements Strict Rules
Naoya Zenin is the arrogant heir to the Zenin Clan and will play a prominent role in the Culling Games arc in Jujutsu Kaisen season 3. Like his father, Naobito Zenin, Naoya can use the projection sorcery technique and implement it into his domain.
Time Cell Moon Phase forces those caught in the domain's area of effect to abide by the 24 frames per second rule, forcing them to move within those retreats or suffer horrendous wounds. Time Cell Moon Phase attacks the target's cells directly, freezing them in place. Forcing a movement that breaks the rules of the domain can result in instant death, losing a limb, or heavy internal damage that renders the target incapable of defending itself.
Authentic Mutual Love
Yuta's Personal Army Of Every Technique He's Ever Replicated
Yuta Okkotsu is known for his unique cursed ability to copy the cursed techniques of those he encounters. He has demonstrated an immense well of cursed energy that allows him to copy even extremely complex techniques, such as Jacob's Ladder and Cursed Speech.
Authentic Mutual Love expands on this ability and works in tandem with Rika, who created a sword-riding battlefield with each blade holding a random cursed technique that Yuta had copied in the past. The target is trapped within this location and must adapt on the fly to any technique Yuta may have in his armory, which the majority of sorcerers will be inept to handle.
Coffin Of The Iron Mountain
Jugo Brings Hell To Earth And Melts Enemies Alive
The Special Grade curse spirit Jugo revealed his domain expansion quite early in season one of Jujutsu Kaisen. As the curse fueled by humanity's fear of volcanoes, Jugo controls intense flames and explosive lava attacks. Using his domain, Coffin of the Iron Mountain, Jugo created a sphere in the belly of a large volcano.
As a highly volatile environment, most sorcerers would succumb to stamina loss or be turned to ash by the smeltering heat. The heat from a volcano can reach up to 1600 degrees Celsius, and even with cursed energy, many sorcerers couldn't withstand the heat for a prolonged period, unless they were Satoru Gojo.
Womb Profusion
A Single Instant Is Enough For Mahito's Domain To Prove Deadly
Kenjaku is one of the most experienced sorcerers in Jujutsu Kaisen. Having lived over six hundred years, he has acquired a limitless knowledge of cursed energy and has crafted an extremely unique domain utilizing Suguru Geto's innate technique. Womb Profusion is a barrier-less domain expansion similar to what Sukuna accomplished during the Shibuya Arc.
Kenjaku creates a totem of captured cursed spirits, merged together in a grotesque mass. While used briefly, Womb Profusion delivers an explosive blast comparable to the cursed energy of Uzumaki, which was enough to nearly mangle Yuki Tsukumo.
Unlimited Void
A Peek Into The Event Horizon That Swallows Up Its Targets Whole
Satoru Gojo is dubbed as the strongest sorcerer of the modern age, thanks to being born with the Six Eyes and the Limitless technique. With unrivaled physical strength and a profound understanding of cursed energy, Satoru Gojo elevates his skills to stand at the pinnacle of the Jujutsu world.
The cherry on top of Gojo is his Domain Expansion, Limitless Void. While the technique does not directly harm the target captured into the domain, once enthralled, individuals are subjected to an endless amount of information directly fed into their brains, which overloads them and slowly but surely turns them into a vegetable. Unable to act but still alert and perceiving what is happening around them on a global scale, targets rarely recover from the effects.
Self Embodiment Of Perfection
A Twisted Domain That Mangles Its Target's Souls
Mahito is one of the most vile characters in Jujutsu Kaisen, a special-grade cursed spirit created by Kenjaku, who has no regard for human life and strives to be the epitome of curses. Constantly pushing his skill to its limits, Mahito accomplished his Domain Expansion, which built upon his transfiguration technique and turned it into a sure-hit technique that doesn't require physical contact.
Once encased in the Self-Embodiment of Perfection, without a Hollow Wicker Basket, they are instantly transformed into disfigured human remnants. This is an irreversible transformation that ultimately leads to the target's demise, or worse.
Malevolent Shrine
Eviscerates Everything, Everywhere, All At Once
Ryomen Sukuna, known as the king of curses, possesses an almost infinite wealth of cursed abilities and techniques that he can unleash against his opponents at any moment. For over one thousand years, Sukuna 's legend has plagued the world of Jujutsu Sorcery, and his name is enough to strike fear in even the most powerful special grade curses.
Sukuna's innate technique is the ability to slice and dissect his opponents with invisible attacks. Utilizing his Domain Expansion, Malevolent Shinre, Sukuna can expand the range of his attacks to near infinite range and make them a sure hit. Sukuna's domain is a weapon forged to cut away all that serves Sukuna's purpose, making anyone or anything within his domain a pile of scraps.
Deadly Sentencing
Targets Go On Trial For Their Wrongdoings
Hiromi Higuruma is a sorcerer who will appear in the Culling Games of Jujutsu Kaisen. Upon his cursed technique being revealed, he is considered to be on par with Satoru Gojo and Sukuna. Higuruma wields a large Gavel as a weapon and a physical manifestation of his technique.
However, he shines with his Domain Expansion Deadly Sentencing. Once trapped within the domain, targets are put on trial, and if found guilty, Higuruma wields an instant kill weapon that guarantees death to the plaintiff. This technique was enough to pique the interest of Sukuna, who sought to see if he could overcome the Judge, Jury, and Executioner, who is Higuruma. This is one of the most anticipated moments in the upcoming season of Jujutsu Kaisen.
