This article contains spoilers from the Jujutsu Kaisen manga series.

Everyone’s favorite glorious king in Jujutsu Kaisen, Gojo Satoru, is taking a backseat in JJK Season 3 after his sealing. As much as fans would love to see Gojo use Limitless and unleash Unlimited Void during the Culling Game, he’s not getting out of the Prison Realm anytime soon.

While Gojo awaits rescue, it’s time for Jujutsu Kaisen to share the spotlight with other powerful sorcerers with powerful abilities. It’s not just Gojo who has godlike abilities, as these incredible sorcerers from modern and ancient times are sure to make an impact and give jaw-dropping performances before and during the Culling Game. Before Gojo is unsealed, let’s get to know these sorcerers better.

Hajime Kashimo Sets a Deadly Culling Game Record

Kashimo’s Cursed Technique: Mythical Beast Amber

Hajime Kashimo is one of the latest additions to the cast of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3. He is a remarkable ancient sorcerer who only has one thing in mind: to fight the strongest sorcerer. For hundreds of years, Kashimo was obsessed with fighting Sukuna, as his previous opponents failed to pose a challenge and impress him.

The Culling Game is the perfect stage for Kashimo to show off his monstrous power. He is credited with the killing of 40 sorcerers even before Yuji and Megumi joined a colony. Known as the Lightning God, Kashimo can easily take down grade 1 curses even without his innate technique.

Kinji Hikari Treats Yuji as His Personal Punching Bag

Kinji’s Cursed Technique: Private Pure Love Train

It’s better to have Kinji Hikari on your good side rather than fighting him in JJK. Yuji Itadori learned this lesson the hard way after he faced Kinji and lost big time. The same goes for Hajime Kashimo, who never thought he would lose to Kinji before he could even face Ryomen Sukuna in a 1 vs. 1 match.

For more context, Kinji Hikari is one of the strongest student sorcerers in Jujutsu High. He has Gojo Satoru and Yuta Okkotsu’s respect, which speaks volumes about the powers he holds. He is a dangerous opponent, and he gets even more terrifying when he’s in the zone.

Yuki Tsukumo Is a Wandering Special Grade Sorcerer

Yuki's Cursed Technique: Star Rage

Yuki Tsukumo barely appears in Jujutsu Kaisen, but when she does appear, it is always worth watching. Anime fans know her as Aoi Todo’s mentor, while manga fans respect her for her status as a special grade sorcerer, which she truly deserves.

In JJK Season 3, viewers will finally witness how broken Yuki Tsukumo’s cursed technique is against Kenjaku. She will push him to his limits, which only a few sorcerers have done in the series.

Unfortunately, many fans still see Yuki as the most wasted character in JJK, given her cool personality and abilities. Believe it or not, Yuki can create a massive black hole that is big enough to destroy the entire planet if she wants to.

Kenjaku Is a Notorious Curse User

Kenjaku’s Cursed Technique: Brain Transplant

Kenjaku has a crucial role in fulfilling Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 as the orchestrator of the Culling Games. Only Kenjaku has the guts to arrange this high level of jujutsu terrorism, which he has been preparing for a thousand years already. It’s time to reap the rewards of his efforts and accomplish his goal of forcing evolution on humanity.

For someone who has lived for a thousand years, Kenjaku has acquired centuries of Jujutsu knowledge and experience. He uses it to handle nearly any situation he’s in, be it defeating a special grade sorcerer like Yuki Tsukumo or escaping a near-death situation. He has a twisted CT, and as fans know, switching bodies and keeping their techniques are his thing.

Yuta Okkotsu Can Copy Cursed Techniques

Yuta’s Innate Technique: Copy

It would be an insult to deny Yuta Okkotsu a place on this list. He is a special grade sorcerer who impressed fans with his ridiculous growth. He is regarded as a jujutsu prodigy, boasting a massive pool of cursed energy and a shikigami who is always at his beck and call.

Yuta was once a helpless teenager, but fate turned him into an absolute force of nature, alongside the Queen of Curses, Rika. With Rika, Yuta can almost do anything, even if it means defeating powerful sorcerers simultaneously. His innate technique, Copy, when used with his Domain Expansion, is a death sentence for his opponents.

Maki Zenin's True Power Is Comparable to Toji Fushiguro

Maki Has Heavenly Restriction

Maki Zenin had a rough start in the Jujutsu world, treated by her corrupt clan as nothing but fodder they needed to dispose of. While she is more talented than Mai, she only attained the status of a grade 4 sorcerer, even after Gojo and Mei Mei saw her as someone deserving of grade 1 treatment.

However, JJK Season 3 will switch things up for Maki. The tables will turn, as Maki awakens a monstrous power that will put her on the same level as the legendary Toji Fushiguro. As manga fans know, Maki has a heavenly restriction, which, when manifested fully, will turn her into a nightmare for her entire clan.

Hiromi Higuruma Is a Jujutsu Prodigy

Higuruma’s Cursed Technique: Deadly Sentencing

Just like Yuta Okkotsu, Hiromi Higuruma is a jujutsu prodigy. Even before he became a jujutsu sorcerer, he was already a genius lawyer with raw and unbound talent. After awakening his powers, he only needed 12 days to know the basics and learn Domain Expansion and Reverse Cursed Technique, which speaks a lot about his ridiculous growth.

Interestingly, Higuruma is branded by some fans as Nanami Kento’s replacement, likely due to their nearly similar personalities and the way they deal with Yuji Itadori. Regardless, Higuruma has one of the most unique Domain Expansions in JJK, which makes him stand out and be memorable. Not to mention, his Executioner Blade can beat anyone in one slash without exception!

Ryomen Sukuna Is Easily the Strongest

Sukuna’s Cursed Technique: Cleave and Dismantle

Ryomen Sukuna, aka the King of Curses, is an abomination in the Jujutsu World. Those who dare cross him usually fail to see another light of day due to his monstrous abilities. If Gojo Satoru can pass for a god for his techniques, Sukuna can easily pass for a devil in Jujutsu Kaisen.

As shown in the anime, Sukuna has some of the best feats that no other sorcerer or curse user can achieve. Not only did he tame the Divine General Mahoraga off-screen, but he also ended Gojo Satoru’s life. On top of that, defeating him will require a combined effort of a handful of sorcerers!
