When it comes to colorful character designs, Jujutsu Kaisen has succeeded in introducing a diverse cast, each with unique traits and personalities. What makes the anime so special is the unpredictable yet lovable designs such as the "Panda who isn't a Panda" that manages to catch everyone's attention. Unsurprisingly, fans of the series have shown a preference for specific Jujutsu Kaisen characters.
The powers of the characters in the anime are no joke as well, and fans seem to enjoy it every time they see each character's unique cursed technique. With so many charming, strong, and well-designed characters in the series, fans can't help but have their favorites. There are vague spoilers for the anime up ahead!
Updated on July 12th, 2022 by Jom Elauria: Jujutsu Kaisen fans who are hungry for more action scenes with Curse Spirits have been quenched by the prequel film Jujutsu Kaisen: 0. The film introduces Yuta Okkotsu, a student of the Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School who has acquired a powerful cursed spirit. The fans can't get enough of Jujutsu Kaisen due to its interesting power system and dynamic fight scenes. Besides that, the anime also has a handful of charming and powerful characters who have successfully captured the hearts of the show's fans.
Toge Inumaki
Toge Inumaki is not a man of many words. Being a member of the Inumaki clan, Toge was able to inherit a cursed technique that incorporates cursed energy with his words, which then compels those who hear him to do whatever he says.
The cursed speech has become popular with fans thanks to his shy but heroic demeanor. What's more, there's an air of mystery with Toge since he barely talks in the series to avoid cursing his friends.
Panda
It's easy to see why Panda became one of the most loved characters in Jujutsu Kaisen. Aside from his adorable character design, Panda has a cheery and upbeat personality. What's more, Panda is known to crack jokes, even in the direst situations, like when he was being hunted by his fellow student Mechamaru.
In the series, it is shown that Panda is actually a cursed corpse created by the school principal Masamichi Yaga. However, it was revealed that Panda was a mutated cursed corpse, which explains why he was able to "grow up" and develop a lovable personality.
Kasumi Miwa
Fans consider Kasumi Miwa is one of the most normal characters in Jujutsu Kaisen since she's not blessed with an innate technique. Despite that, she can still defend herself in battle as she is a grade 3 sorcerer who knows how to use New Shadow Style swordsmanship techniques.
Due to her normalcy, Miwa tries to do her best and works hard to be a sorcerer, unlike some of her classmates who are born with special cursed techniques. Viewers of the show also find Miwa to be relatable because she sees sorcery as a way to make money and her family.
Suguru Geto
Despite being the main villain during the first season of Jujutsu Kaisen, Suguru Geto was still able to charm his way into the hearts of fans. The former Jujutsu High student aims to eliminate curses by killing all non-sorcerers. To this end, Suguru has decided to exploit other cursed spirits like Jogo and Hanami.
Fans enjoy Geto as a villain because he was still able to show nuance and has a justifiable villain origin story. What's more, Geto is a powerful cursed technique who can hold his own against strong opponents like Satoru Gojo.
Aoi Todo
The powerful third-year from the Kyoto Prefectural Jujutsu High School is one Jujutsu Kaisen character who deserves his own OVA. When he was first introduced in the series, Todo seemed menacing and intimidating. However, he soon formed a strong bond with Yuji Itadori, after it was revealed that they have the same taste in women.
Todo's personality quickly shifts from being a war-crazy sorcerer to an intelligent strategist. This seemed to capture the attention of fans, as many find him to be a complex and powerful character.
Fushiguro Toji
Infamously dubbed the "Sorcerer Killer," Fushiguro Toji is a former member of the Zenin clan who is a non-curse and has no innate talent for jujutsu. With his sensual muscular build, black hair, alluring green eyes, and a sharp scar on the edge of his lips, he attracts many fans who swoon at his looks.
Toji's traumatic past in the Zenin clan, complicated relationship with his son, and his seemingly cold, calm demeanor led many fans to become enthralled by him.
Ryomen Sukuna
Despite Sukuna's reputation as a malicious cursed spirit known to be the "King of Curses" who possesses incomprehensible power, he is bound to his host, unable to completely take over Itadori's body.
Sukuna is selfish, cold-hearted, immoral, rarely cares about the consequences of his actions, and enjoys taunting Itadori or watching him suffer. However, fans have taken a liking to this inherently evil being as he seems to have a soft spot for Megumi and many are curious as to why that is the case.
Yuta Okkotsu
Yuuta is a sorcerer that lacks confidence in himself as he had a history of being bullied and was an isolated, friendless person before befriending the second years' Maki, Toge, and Panda. There was much debate about where his loyalties stood as many were fooled by his pretense.
And yet, when he was revealed to be a sorcerer with a sweet and shy smile who displayed concern for his friends, the fans began to love and appreciate Yuuta. In the Jujutsu Kaisen movie slotted for winter 2022, Yuuta will serve as the protagonist and fans will learn more about his story.
Choso
A character that has been rising in popularity as of late is Choso, a death painting womb who is strongly attached and overprotective of his brothers. Choso stands out in the anime as he flaunts a unique hairstyle that fans seem to love immensely.
He finds no greater joy than being called "big brother" and has been proven to risk anything for his precious siblings. Fans found it hilarious of Choso to become so attached to Itadori yet it cannot be denied that his care for Itadori is nothing short of endearing.
Maki Zenin
Different from the rest of the cast, Maki Zenin has extremely low cursed energy which has been greatly criticized by the Zenin clan as something distasteful and undesirable. However, Maki is not one to be ruffled by her clan's hurtful insults and carries with her an air of confidence.
One of the bravest characters in the series, she always manages to surprise other sorcerers with her superhuman physical prowess. She can expertly wield various cursed weapons to her advantage as seen when she utilizes the Special Grade Cursed Tool: Playful Cloud which Megumi found difficult to use.
