Jujutsu Kaisen: The Strongest Characters In Season 3, Ranked

This article contains brief spoilers for season 3 of Jujutsu Kaisen.

Within the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, the Culling Game is considered the largest act of magical terrorism ever recorded. This is largely due to the reappearance of incredibly powerful and dangerous sorcerers, which fundamentally shifted the balance of power worldwide.

Now that Gojo is sealed away for this story arc, and likely for the rest of Jujutsu Kaisen‘s third season, many powerful characters will compete to be considered the strongest. This article will explore who those contenders might be in season 3.

Yorozu Is A Powerful Sorcerer From Sukuna’s Time

A Master From The Heian Era

Cursed Technique: Construction

Yorozu was a remarkably strong sorcerer who lived during Japan’s Heian Era, making her a contemporary of Sukuna. She was reborn in a modern body during the Culling Game and demonstrated exceptional skill with her Cursed Technique, Construction. This technique allows her to battle Sukuna, and while it’s similar to Mai Zenin’s, Yorozu’s greater cursed energy makes her far more proficient.

Uraume Has A Very Brief Showing During This Arc

Sukuna’s Greatest Ally

Cursed Technique: Ice Formation

Uraume doesn’t appear for long in the Culling Game arc, but even in that short time, their Ice Formation Cursed Technique demonstrates immense power. While they truly stand out in the later Shinjuku Showdown arc, their brief appearance in season 3 is still a compelling display of their abilities.

Kashimo Was The Leader Of The Culling Game

The Strongest of the Edo Period

Cursed Technique: Mythical Beast Amber

I have to admit, Hajime Kashimo was a surprising choice for this ranking, but there’s a good reason for it. He held back a lot during the Culling Game – he saved his most powerful technique for a potential fight with Sukuna. This meant he mostly relied on his raw Cursed Energy, which is why he ultimately lost to Hakari in what was an amazing battle. Even with that self-imposed limitation, Kashimo was unbelievably strong; his control over Cursed Energy alone made him the most formidable fighter and earned him the highest score in the whole event.

Hakari Showed Exactly Why Gojo Placed So Much Faith In Him

The Restless Gambler

Cursed Technique: Private Pure Love Train

Hakari quickly became a fan favorite in season 3, and his introduction to the anime is expected to be a game-changer. He’s known for his energetic personality and incredible strength, particularly his unique ability to use Domain Expansions repeatedly. Many fans consider his battle against Kashimo – a fight he wins – to be the best one in the whole series.

Maki Realizes Her Full Potential In The First Half Of Season 3

The One Who Left It All Behind

Cursed Technique: None

Maki Zenin started out as one of the weaker characters in Jujutsu Kaisen because of her twin status and a flawed magical restriction. But in season 3, she’s expected to become incredibly powerful, surpassing even Toji Fushiguro and possessing the strongest physique in the series. What’s more, she’s not fully bound by cursed energy, which means the usual rules of the Jujutsu Kaisen world – including the effects of Domains – won’t affect her as much, making her exceptionally formidable.

Yuki Tsukumo Shows Why She Is A Special Grade Sorcerer

An Incredible Fighter

Cursed Technique: Star Rage

Yuki is an exceptionally powerful character in Jujutsu Kaisen, ranking among the only four Special Grade Sorcerers. Her unique Cursed Technique lets her dramatically increase her own mass, making her incredibly strong. Kenjaku even claimed she hits harder than anyone else in the series, surpassing even Sukuna and Gojo. Season 3 features a single, defining fight that fully demonstrates her immense power.

Yuta Finally Realizes His Cursed Technique And Uses Rika’s Power

The Cursed Child

Cursed Technique: Copy

After a long wait, Yuta Okkotsu is returning in season 3, and we’ll finally see his impressive abilities in action. His battles during the Culling Game are full of exciting moments and victories, which allowed him to earn the second-highest score in the competition.

Kenjaku Shows That His Strength Is Just As Great As His Mind

The Mastermind of the Culling Game

Cursed Technique: Brain Transplant

Kenjaku was revealed to be the one pulling the strings behind the Culling Game, and his power proved to be as impressive as his cunning. Despite only having one significant fight in the third season, he won due to his skill with multiple Cursed Techniques and an incredibly strong Open Domain – a feat only he and Sukuna have accomplished in the series.

Regret, huh? I’ve forgotten what that feels like.

Sukuna Retains His Position As The Strongest Character In The Series

The King of Curses

Cursed Technique: Cleave and Dismantle

As expected, Sukuna remains the most powerful character heading into season 3. Even without having all of his fingers, he unlocks a terrifying new level of strength. While we won’t reveal too much, he easily overcomes several key characters, building towards what promises to be his biggest fight yet.

Jujutsu Kaisen can be streamed on Crunchyroll and Netflix.
