10 most absurd cursed techniques in Jujutsu Kaisen, ranked

10. Love Rendezvous (Kirara Hoshi)

Imagine being unable to touch your opponent because you haven’t followed the stars. Kirara’s technique marks people and objects with five stars from the Southern Cross constellation. To approach a target, you must follow the correct celestial order. If two people share the same star, they are magnetically repelled from one another. It’s essentially a high-stakes game of "The Floor is Lava," but with astronomy.

9. Cursed Speech (Toge Inumaki)

The absurdity of Cursed Speech lies in its lifestyle requirements. Toge can command reality to bend to his will, telling someone to "Explode" or "Plummet", but the backlash can destroy his own throat. To prevent accidentally killing his friends, he has restricted his entire vocabulary to rice ball ingredients like "Salmon" and "Kelp." It’s a god-like power with a hilarious, carb-heavy drawback.

8. G-Pen (Charles Bernard)

Charles Bernard, an aspiring manga artist, fights with a giant G-Pen. By wounding his opponent, he fills the pen with "ink" (their essence). He then draws a manga panel onto the opponent’s body, which allows him to see a few seconds into their future as if he’s reading the next page of a serialized chapter. It’s literal "plot armor" turned into an offensive weapon.

7. Contractual Re-Creation (Reggie Star)

Reggie Star’s power is as consumerist as it gets. By burning a paper receipt with cursed energy, he can "re-create" whatever was purchased on that receipt. If he has a receipt for a car, a car falls on you. If he has a receipt for a two-week stay at a spa, he instantly feels as refreshed as if he’d just had a vacation. It turns the contents of a trash can into a deadly arsenal.

6. Straw Doll Technique: Resonance (Nobara Kugisaki)

Nobara’s technique is a modern spin on ancient voodoo. By hammering a nail into a straw doll that contains a piece of her opponent (hair, their essence, or even a piece of the opponent), she creates a link to their soul. The damage she deals to the doll is reflected onto the target, regardless of the distance. It’s a grisly, indirect way to fight that bypasses traditional physical defense entirely.

5. Projection Sorcery (Naobito & Naoya Zenin)

This technique treats real-world movement like 2D animation. The user divides one second into 24 frames and must pre-determine their path within those frames. If the user, or anyone they touch, violates the "laws of physics" or fails to follow the 24-fps movement rule, they are frozen into a single 2D frame for one second. It’s a power for math whizzes and animation nerds.

4. Deadly Sentencing (Hiromi Higuruma)

Higuruma’s Domain Expansion doesn't allow violence; it forces a trial. A giant Shikigami called Judgeman acts as the judge, knowing all of the opponent’s past crimes. The battle is a legal argument. If found guilty, the opponent can be sentenced to "Confiscation" (losing their cursed technique) or even the "Death Penalty," which grants Higuruma a sword that can defeat an opponent instantly.

3. Boogie Woogie (Aoi Todo)

On paper, it’s simple: Todo claps his hands and swaps the positions of two things with cursed energy. In practice, it’s a psychological nightmare. Todo can swap himself with his opponent, his partner with a cursed tool, or even clap his hands and not swap anything as a feint. It turns a battlefield into a chaotic shell game where your own body is the ball.

2. Private Pure Love Train (Kinji Hakari)

This is widely considered the most convoluted power in the series. It’s a Domain Expansion based on a fictional romance manga that functions as a giant pachinko machine. Hakari plays through "visual events" from the manga to hit a Jackpot. If he wins, he gains infinite cursed energy and automatic healing for exactly 4 minutes and 11 seconds, the length of the manga’s theme song. It is literally weaponized gambling.

1. Comedian (Fumihiko Takaba)

Takaba’s technique, Comedian, is the pinnacle of absurdity because it is actual reality warping fueled by confidence. If Takaba thinks something is funny, it becomes reality. He can survive a massive explosion if he thinks it would be funny to walk out of the smoke with a soot-covered face. The only limit is his own sense of humor; if he loses his nerve or stops finding the situation funny, the power vanishes. It is the strongest and silliest ability in the franchise.
