Highlights
- The world of Jujutsu Kaisen primarily revolves around cursed energy and cursed techniques, resulting in a lack of fighters with diverse skills.
- Despite this, there are still notable swordsmen in the series who have honed their swordsmanship to high levels or incorporated cursed energy into their swordplay.
- Maki Zenin is one such swordsman who, after unlocking her powers, has become exceptionally strong and is considered one of the strongest characters in JJK.
The world of Jujutsu Kaisen Is heavily focused on the usage of cursed energy. In fact, the entire series is based around its usage and, thus, the vast majority of the fighters simply rely on powerful cursed techniques. This means that there is not an abundance of fighters with diverse skills in the world of JJK.
Jujutsu Kaisen: Every Major Death In The Culling Game Arc
These deaths shook fans in Jujutsu Kaisen's Culling Game.
However, that is not to say that there are none of them. Over the years, there have emerged quite a few powerful swordsmen who have effectively either incorporated their cursed energy usage with their swords or simply honed their swordsmanship to extremely high levels without even having cursed energy in the first place. Among a plethora of strong fighters, only a few manage to stand out on top.
7 Miwa
Sword: Regular Katana
Mila is certainly not a strong character. However, she is one of the very best sword fighters that fans have seen in JJK. She possesses incredible skills with a katana and has the ability to use simple domains as well.
Miwa can cut nearly anyone who steps in her domain almost instantaneously, however, fast fighters are able to evade her techniques as well. While she might not be the strongest, she is certainly still very impressive.
6 Ogi Zenin
Sword: Regular Katana
Ogi Zenin was a Special Grade 1 sorcerer and fans got to see him in action against his daughters shortly before the beginning of the Culling Game arc. Ogi was powerful enough to overwhelm even Maki to some degree.
However, after Maki fully unlocked her powers following the sacrifice made by her sister, it became clear that Ogi wasn't all that special. Maki was easily able to kill him in battle and end him for good. His impressive skills with a sword were not enough to save his life at the end of the day.
5 Kusakabe
Sword: Regular Katana
When it comes to swordsmanship alone, Kusakabe is certainly very dangerous. He is one of the most impressive sword fighters seen in the entirety of JJK. Even though he does not possess a cursed technique, he has still managed to stay relevant and this is all down to his incredible swordsmanship.
Fans have seen him fighting on several occasions and he has done more than enough to prove himself an excellent swordsman. He might not be the strongest by any means but his skill with the blade is absolutely sensational.
4 Hagane Daido
Sword: Replica of the Split Soul Katana
Daido emerged in the Culling Game arc as an extremely powerful swordmaster. In fact, his proficiency with this weapon was mentioned to be greater than that of even Maki. He took part in the fight against cursed Naoya and showcased how incredible he truly was when it comes to using the sword.
Jujutsu Kaisen: Every Death In The Shibuya Arc
These deaths shocked fans in Jujutsu Kaisen's Shibuya Arc.
Even though he did not possess the power to use much cursed energy, he was still exceptionally strong. He was able to bisect Naoya, and that just goes to show the level that he had hit as a powerful swordsman.
3 Yuta Okkotsu
Sword: Regular Katana
Yuta might not be the most skilled swordsman in JJK, however, he certainly is among the most powerful ones. When it comes to pure skill with a sword, Daido and maybe even Kusakabe surpass him. However, when it comes to overall power, Yuta is likely much stronger.
This is because he possesses an insane amount of cursed energy and he can also use other dangerous abilities in tandem that he has access to. Yuta cannot be stopped by just anyone. He is among the strongest sorcerers to have ever lived and someone who can, one day, reach the same levels as Gojo. It goes without saying that he is among the strongest sorcerers as well as swordsmen in Jujutsu Kaisen.
2 Toji Zenin
Sword: Dragon-Bone
Toji Zenin (before he took the Fushiguro name and was in his prime) was a legendary figure whom fans have come to absolutely adore over the years. He was seen briefly in combat in JJK and his skills with various weapons were showcased to the fans very well. In many ways, he is just like Maki. In fact, even in terms of power, the two are believed to be similar.
Toji was a master of various weapons, including swords. He could make use of his swords to slice enemies clean before they even realized what happened. When it comes to swordplay, Toji is certainly one of the very best.
1 Maki Zenin
Sword: Dragon-Bone
Maki is certainly among the strongest characters in the world of JJK right now. After having her powers fully unlocked, she has become exceptionally strong as a fighter, who has drawn comparisons to the likes of Toji already.
Maki was always known to be an expert weapon user and it isn't a surprise to any fan that she is among the strongest sword wielders. Even though her skill with the sword was inferior to that of Daido, her overall strength was still much greater. Maki will certainly get even stronger with time and far surpass even the likes of Toji.
Jujutsu Kaisen
Based on Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen manga, Mappa's battle shonen anime envisions a world where Jujutsu Sorcerers battle against entities born out of Cursed Energy. One day, a teenager named Yuji Itadori is dragged into this conflict when he eats a possessed finger.
