This article contains spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3.
Jutsu Kaisen has quite an interesting story, but it goes without saying that what most fans tune in for are its intense and exciting battles. Being a series so focused on battles, it's unsurprising to see some characters rise as the strongest in the Jujutsu Kaisen cast one after another. So far, the two strongest established in Jujutsu Kaisen are none other than Gojo Satoru and Ryomen Sukuna. Of course, at the moment, however, Gojo Satoru is sealed away, and fans know that this happened in the middle of JJK Season 2.
Jujutsu Kaisen: 8 Most Emotional Fights, Ranked
There have been several emotional fight scenes in Jujutsu Kaisen, with these examples being the most hard-hitting.
Meanwhile, Sukuna is not free yet, not having acquired all his fingers either. Taking all that into consideration, a powerful character now makes an entrance in JJK Season 3, and he could be worthy of being called the strongest sorcerer out there at the moment. This character is none other than Yuta Okkotsu. A Special Grade sorcerer with an overpowered cursed technique, Yuta Okkotsu finally makes his TV anime appearance and it is safe to say, he has already impressed many fans.
Gojo Satoru and Sukuna Are The Two Strongest of the Jujutsu Kaisen World
- Gojo Satoru Has Limitless and The Six Eyes
- Sukuna Has Immense Cursed Energy and a Cutting Cursed Technique
When talking about the very strongest of Jujutsu Kaisen, two names immediately come to many fans' minds:
- Gojo Satoru, humanity's strongest
- Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses
Both Gojo and Sukuna are simply on a different level when compared to the others in the world. When it comes to Gojo, what makes him as strong as he is comes down to the incredible abilities he was born with. Gojo possesses the prized technique of the Gojo Clan, called the Limitless. As fans know, Limitless is a cursed technique that allows him to basically control Infinity. With Limitless, he has access to powerful abilities, such as the neutral Infinity, Blue, Red, and putting the two infinities together, Purple, which can destroy anything in his path.
While the Limitless is overpowered, Gojo wouldn't even be able to use Limitless without his Six Eyes. Gojo was the first sorcerer in 400 years to be born with both, and that makes him incredibly dangerous. With his Six Eyes, he has a superior perception of everything, including cursed energy.
Meanwhile, for Sukuna, what makes him truly overpowered remains a bigger mystery for anime-only viewers. Fans know Sukuna is the King of Curses, with the greatest cursed energy reserve ever seen. It is also clear that Sukuna can use cutting abilities, called Cleave and Dismantle. What else his cursed technique entails will have to be seen later on in the series. It is safe to say that even without all his fingers in his possession, Sukuna is one of the strongest people around, and he is only going to get stronger.
Yuta Okkotsu Stands As The Strongest Sorcerer In Gojo And Sukuna's Absence
- Yuta Is A Special Grade Sorcerer
- Possess the Powers of Rika and Copy
As fans of Jujutsu Kaisen know, Gojo Satoru was sealed away during the events of Shibuya, which unfolded in Jujutsu Season 2. Now, in the third season, he has yet to be released from the Prison Realm. As far as Sukuna goes, he isn't free yet, and he has yet to consume all his fingers, which means he's currently bound to Yuji. While he's strong, he is not yet at his peak.
All that said, the new strongest sorcerer has actually just returned, and it's none other than Yuta Okkotsu, a character fans will remember from Jujutsu Kaisen 0. Yuta Okkotsu was immediately marked as a Special Grade Sorcerer upon his entrance into Tokyo Jujutsu High. That alone is definitely impressive, and an anomaly even in the Jujutsu Kaisen world.
Jujutsu Kaisen: Every Special Grade Curse, Ranked
Special Grade curses are exceptionally powerful, and they can make short work of the best sorcerers.
What makes Yuta so strong is his cursed technique. Yuta has one of the most overpowered cursed techniques of Jujutsu Kaisen, known as "Copy." Copy allows Yuta to, as the name implies, copy other characters’ abilities. Of course, there are a few conditions to that.
Yuta has to consume a part of the person whose ability he wants to Copy, and he can only use said ability for five minutes at once.
Yuta’s powers, however, go even beyond this. Yuta possesses a powerful cursed spirit known as Rika, who is part of Yuta's cursed technique and allows him almost boundless cursed energy, as well as a fighting partner. Rika, on her own, could be considered a Special Grade enemy, and take on most Jujutsu Kaisen characters.
Yuta Okkotsu Makes an Iconic Return in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3
- Yuta Had Left to Study With Miguel, But Just Returned
- Yuta Okkotsu Was Able to Easily Deal with Yuji
Yuta Okkotsu made his iconic return just recently in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3. Immediately, fans could see why he is the strongest around. Yuta Okkotsu was very easily able to overpower and defeat Jujutsu Kaisen's main character, Yuji Itadori. What's even more impressive is that Yuta didn't even go all-out to defeat Yuji. This is definitely impressive, as Yuji, at this point in the story, was able to go and fight Mahito, a Special Grade Curse, in a 2 vs 1.
“What? It’s just pure love.” — Yuta Okkotsu
This goes to show how superior to the average Special Grade Curse Yuta is. Yuta's return comes after his disappearance from the main JJK story, following the events of JJK 0. At the end, Yuta was seen going with Miguel at Gojo’s request to study overseas. Yuta Okkotsu was already strong enough to defeat Geto Suguru in JJK 0, and he has only grown stronger since, reaching new heights through his training.
Yuta Will be a Leading Force in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 In The Absence of Gojo
- The Remaining Special Grade Sorcerers Take Center Stage
While anime-only fans might have thought that Yuta Okkotsu had turned into an enemy in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 due to his attacking and killing Yuji, it has become apparent that he is on the side of the sorcerers.
With that, Yuta Okkotsu is going to be one of the leading figures in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3, especially with Gojo Satoru, humanity’s strongest, still being sealed away.
I want to have a connection with someone. I want to be needed by someone. I want the confidence to feel like it’s okay to live.” — Yuta Okkotsu
Yuta, alongside another special great sorcerer, Yuki, will be hugely important in JJK Season 3. They will both be featured in some major battles, and without these two, the cast would have definitely fallen apart in front of the powerful enemies they are faced with. The stakes are going to be high in JJK Season 3, and fans can’t wait for the next episodes to finally release.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 has officially begun and currently, it's airing the Culling Game arc. The story continues the adventure of Yuji Itadori after the sealing of Gojo Satoru in Shibuya. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 will have two cours, with a short break in between. JJK Season 3 Episode 3 is set to air on January 15, 2026, at 9:00 AM PT. In the UK, the episode will air at 5:00 PM GMT. Jujutsu Kaisen also has a manga sequel that's currently ongoing, called Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, which is set 68 years after the conclusion of the main story.
