Black Flash is an incredible ability that only those who are blessed with the sparks of black can utilize in the JJK series. Black Flash is essentially a distortion in space that occurs when cursed energy is applied to a hit in one-millionth of a second. This causes a distortion in space and increases the energy output of the blow to the power of 2.5.

Grade | 3 |

Status | Dead, killed by Mahito's Idle Transfiguration |
Nobara was seen using Black Flash in the battle against Eso and Kechizu. Nobara only has one Black Flash to her name, and she used it devastatingly in the battle against the two brothers, alongside Yuji.
Both Yuji and Nobara combined to launch this Black Flash, and it proved to be enough to finally end the battle against these special grades. Nobara would've hit more Black Flashes in the future. However, she ended up dying before that could happen.
6 Todo
Number Of Black Flash Hits: 1+

Status | Alive, but lost one of his hands during Shibuya |
Aoi Todo was always one of the brightest prospects when it came to Jujutsu sorcery in the story. Todo is a tremendous user of cursed energy in general, and he was the one who taught Yuji about Black Flashes and the ability to hit them.
Todo managed to hit one Black Flash in the battle against Mahito. However, fans know for a fact that he hit many Black Flashes before that as well, given that he knew a lot about it, and he was able to teach how to use it to Yuji. The exact number isn't clear at this moment.
5 Mahito
Number Of Black Flash Hits: 2
Grade | Special Grade |
|---|---|
Status | Dead, Devoured by Pseudo Geto |
Mahito was one of the strongest cursed spirits that the fans have seen in JJK. He was growing at a tremendous rate, and in Shibuya, he evolved to a point where his control over cursed energy became magnificent. Mahito was able to hit two Black Flashes, and the first one came against Yuji, where he hit his face and sent him flying across the Shibuya Station.
The second one was hit against Todo, and he dealt devastating damage to him, which pushed him on the back foot.
4 Nanami
Number Of Black Flash Hits: 4
Grade | 1 |

Status | Dead, Killed by Mahito during Shibuya Incident |
Nanami once held the record for consecutive hits of Black Flash, and he is certainly one of the most proficient users of this art. Nanami himself, however, calls this pure luck.
Jujutsu Kaisen: Every Power-Up Of Yuji Itadori
Yuji Itadori has unlocked many amazing power-ups in JJK.
He was able to hit four Black Flashes during the Night Parade of 100 Demons and hit them one after the other. He compared this feeling to entering the zone, and it was surely an incredible feat from this particular character.
3 Sukuna
Number Of Black Flash Hits: 4+
Grade | Special Grade |
|---|---|
Status | Alive, Currently using Megumi's body as his vessel |
The King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna was not seen hitting Black Flashes until recently in the series. In the Shinjuku Showdown Arc, where a raid is being carried out against him, Sukuna finally entered the zone and started hitting Black Flashes. His first Black Flash came against Maki, where he sent her flying.
Later on, he hit his second Black Flash against Larue, and the third one was given to Maki once again, followed by the fourth one, which he hit on Choso. Sakuna has a total of four Black Flashes in this arc alone. However, long ago, it is likely that Sukuna hit a number of Black Flashes. That said, fans have no idea about his previous Black Flashes.
2 Gojo
Number Of Black Flash Hits: 9+
Grade | Special Grade |
|---|---|
Status | Dead, Killed by Sukuna |
Gojo did not hold the record for the most number of consecutive Black Flash hits due to ending his battles extremely swiftly. However, in terms of overall Black Flash hits, he surpassed Nanami by quite a margin. Gojo mentioned that he had higher Black Flash hits than Nanami, and that was when he wasn't even sealed yet. As a result, it can be assumed that Gojo had, at the very least, five Black Flash hits before being sealed.
In the Shinjuku Showdown Arc alone, Gojo hit four Black Flashes. The first one came against Sukuna himself, while he hit three against others in the battle. Agito received one Black Flash from Gojo, while Mahoraga received two, where he blocked one and was hit cleanly by the other. It is possible that Gojo could have hit more Black Flashes in the past. However, at the very least, he has hit 9 in total.
1 Yuji
Number Of Black Flash Hits: 17

The protagonist of the series, Yuji Itadori has the most number of Black Flash hits as well as the most consecutive hits in JJK so far, and the author explicitly confirms that he surpassed Gojo in this tally. Yuji hit four Black Flashes against Hanami first of all.
Then, he hit a total of three against Mahito, and one against Eso and Kechizu as well. That puts Eugene on a total of eight Black Flashes. His ninth Black Flash came against Sukuna recently, and he then went on to hit eight more, putting his total at 17.
