Highlights

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 245 introduces the concept of reverse cursed technique, which is the opposite of regular cursed energy and can be used for healing and creation instead of destruction.
Hakari, one of the strongest sorcerers in the series, is revealed to be an expert user of reverse cursed technique, with the ability to regenerate injuries at a faster and better rate than characters like Gojo and Sukuna.
While Hakari's focus is primarily on healing himself, there are advanced applications of reverse cursed technique that allow users to heal others or replenish their burnt-out cursed technique, which Hakari may be capable of in the future.

Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 245 dropped very recently and this was certainly an incredible addition to the already amazing story that is currently going on in the culling game arc. As fans know ready, the story is now focusing on multiple fights at the same time. Previously, the story focused on the fight between Takaba and Kenjaku. And, from there onwards, the story started to throw some focus on the fight between Sukuna and the duo of Yuji and Higuruma.

However, there is another major fight that is currently going on and this is the clash between Uraume and Kinji Hakari. In this major fight, Gege revealed some interesting things and one of them pertains to the application of reverse cursed technique.

What Is Reverse Cursed Technique?

Reverse Cursed Technique is exactly what it sounds like. It is the reverse of the regular cursed energy that fans often see in JJK. It is an established fact that cursed energy is born from a negative source and, this is a power that essentially is used for destruction. Cursed Energy is used to damage, whether it is damage done to people around them, or their surroundings. In contrast to this, reverse cursed technique is not a negative energy source. Reverse cursed technique can only be achieved when two sources of negative cursed energy multiplied and, the result is then positive cursed energy. This positive energy can be used for creation, rather than destruction.

Essentially, reverse cursed technique can heal someone instead of granting the ability to kill them. Of course, this doesn't include curses, which don't react well to positive energy, since they are created from negative energy, to begin with. Reverse Cursed Technique has a lot of incredible usages, however, the biggest usage that this power has is the ability to heal bodies. The most basic usage of reverse cursed technique that fans have seen over the years is the power to heal the user.

For instance, when Gojo fought against Toji, fans got a proper explanation of what reverse cursed technique is and how one can use it. Even though Toji fought brilliantly against Gojo and sliced him from the neck to the bottom of his torso, Gojo still recovered, simply by using the power of reverse cursed technique. He healed from his injury as long as his brain was functional and this led to him returning later on and finishing off Toji for good. Similar to Gojo, there are many other users who make use of this incredible form of energy. However, it must be remembered that only the most skilled sorcerers in the world of JJK can utilize the power of RCT.

Hakari – The Fastest Reverse Cursed Technique User

Among the many users of reverse cursed technique in JJK is also Hakari. Fans know Hakari to be one of the strongest up and coming sorcerers in the JJK world. In fact, Gojo himself believed that Hakari was one of the students who could, one day, rival him in terms of power. This means that Hakari already has a bright future ahead of him and that potential that he possesses is boundless. He is known to have a rugged cursed energy and this means that his attack deals more damage due to the rough edge that his energy has. He also has some of the most incredible techniques that one has seen, which is simply a game in which if he lucks out, he gains infinite cursed energy and the ability to heal by itself for a set time.

Yuji's cursed technique is shrouded in mystery in JJK.

One of the most special things about Hakari is that he can heal when he is utilizing his domain expansion, Idle Death Gamble, infinitely, at least for 4 minutes and 11 seconds. However, other than that, his reverse cursed technique is quite dangerous normally too. In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 245 fans got to see the clash between Uraume and Hakari continue, and this fight was teased previously in the story, so fans have been very excited to see how it pans out. Hakari was attacked by their Ice Formation quite early into the battle and he ended up losing his arm.

However, within a moment's notice, Hakari’s arm had completely regenerated and this is something that shocked Uraume completely. According to Uraume themselves, Hakari's speed of regeneration is faster than that of Sukuba and even Gojo and this is a shocking statement. Hakari then faced another attack that ripped his gut out from the right side and, once again, before the damage could even be noticed, it completely healed on its own, and that is nothing short of absolutely staggering.

Is Hakari The Strongest User Of Reverse Cursed Technique?

When it comes to healing, Hakari might just be the best user of reverse cursed technique for many reasons. This is because the best aspect of reverse cursed technique is to heal one from various injuries that they might receive. The fact is that Hakari's reverse cursed technique is so advanced that even the likes of Gojo and Sukuna cannot match it. He regenerates faster and better than both of them and that is nothing short of extraordinary. Of course, then one would face the danger of running out of energy to heal themselves. However, in that regard, Hakari is known to possess quite a lot of cursed energy.

Of course, this amount isn't anywhere close to the likes of Gojo, Yuta, or Sukuna, however, it is still a lot and this is where his Domain Expansion comes into play. When Hakari uses Idle Death Gamble and lucks out, he gains infinite cursed energy for 4 minutes and 11 seconds and the ability to heal from anything and everything, essentially making him immortal. He will then also have enough energy to use reverse cursed technique as he likes, infinitely.

However, fans must keep in mind that there is more to reverse cursed technique than just healing oneself. Advanced applications of this ability also exist and they allow the user to heal others, for instance. This is something that Hakari has not shown in the story just yet, however, he likely possesses the ability to do so. But, then again, there are other applications that the likes of Gojo can wield. This is the ability to use reverse cursed technique to replenish their burnt-out cursed technique. This is quite an advanced application that only Gojo and Sukuna have used, however, it is likely that Hakari might be able to pull this off, at least in the future. For now, fans know that in terms of healing, at the very least, Hakari is the strongest user of reverse cursed technique.

As Hakari versus Uraume continues, fans will most definitely get a glimpse of his advanced use of reverse cursed technique as well and, and as that happens, fans will see the extent of his control over this ability. For now, readers only need to sit back and watch this incredible battle unfold and see who emerges as the victor here.

Jujutsu Kaisen is available to read via Viz Media. The series can be read by the fans officially and for free on the Shonen Jump and the Manga Plus app. The release date for the next chapter of JJK, Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 245, is set to be December 17, 2023.
