Jujutsu Kaisen is full of mysterious and powerful abilities that often leave anime fans in awe. One of these abilities is the Reversed Cursed Techniques, which are based on the reversal of negative energy to positive. In this article, we will explore the intricacies of this technique and its users in the anime.
Reversed Cursed Techniques are the fundamental power system in Jujutsu Kaisen. They are generated by negative emotions and are used by jujutsu sorcerers to fuel their Cursed Techniques. The various types of Cursed Techniques include innate techniques, barrier techniques, shikigami, and all jujutsu that utilize them.
While negative energy exists, positive energy also exists in Jujutsu Kaisen, but not all sorcerers can manipulate their cursed energy into positive energy. In fact, only a few sorcerers in the series possess this ability. Those who can use the Reversed Cursed Techniques, however, can turn their cursed energy into a powerful new ability, which is highly useful in battle.
So, what exactly are the Reversed Cursed Techniques, and who are the users in Jujutsu Kaisen? Let’s delve into it further.
1. What are Reversed Cursed Techniques in Jujutsu Kaisen?
Reversed Cursed Techniques are not easy to describe, even in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe. According to the definition, cursed energy is negative, and to turn it into positive energy, a jujutsu sorcerer must multiply the cursed energy with another negative energy source, resulting in positive energy. Unlike negative energy, which is raw and dangerous to humans, positive energy can be used for healing.
The ability to heal using the Reversed Cursed Techniques makes a jujutsu sorcerer with access to this power difficult to defeat in battle. The Reversed Cursed Techniques can regenerate any part of the body, no matter how severe the injury. The energy used in this technique is generated from the sorcerer’s brain, rather than their heart, making a headshot the most effective strategy against a sorcerer who can use Reversed Cursed Techniques. If the brain is significantly damaged, the sorcerer will no longer be able to synthesize positive cursed energy.
2. Satoru Gojo’s Reversed Cursed Techniques
Satoru Gojo is the only sorcerer who uses positive energy to fuel his Cursed Techniques in Jujutsu Kaisen. When neutral, Mukagen places an unlimited boundary between Satoru and any object that tries to make contact with him. When Mukagen is coated with negative cursed energy, the technique creates a strong attractive force core known as Jutsushiki Junten: Ao. After being coated with positive energy, Mukagen manifests the opposite effect, creating a core of repellent force that doubles the strength of Ao. Reversed Cursed Techniques have become Satoru’s second nature since he always has positive energy circulating in his body to counteract the effects of Mukagen. If his Mugen condition is not continuously treated with Reversed Cursed Techniques, it will wreak havoc on his brain.
3. Yuta Okkotsu, Shouko Ieiri, and Ryomen Sukuna’s Reversed Cursed Techniques
Most sorcerers who can use Reversed Cursed Techniques can only apply its effects to themselves. However, some sorcerers can project it outside their bodies. Shouko Ieiri, Satoru, and Suguru Geto’s former teammate, is one of the most valuable sorcerers in Jujutsu Tokyo High School because of her innate ability to emit Reversed Cursed Energy, which allows her to heal others.
Yuta Okkotsu has the same healing ability as Shouko, but he is best at using Reversed Cursed Energy offensively in battle. Since curses are formed entirely from negative energy, positive energy is highly toxic to them. Yuta defeated the Special Grade Cursed Spirit Cursed Womb: Death Painting-Purple by pouring Reversed Cursed Energy directly into its body through a kiss. Even more impressively, he once channeled Reversed Cursed Energy through his sword to fight off a blow that pierced Yuji Itadori’s heart and immediately healed himself. If applied to a cursed spirit, this move would cut through its skin as easily as paper.
Ryomen Sukuna’s mastery of Reversed Cursed Techniques is as impressive as his skill in each Jujutsu. He can heal himself or the body he inhabits at will. He can even revive a person like Yuji who has been declared dead. Sukuna did the same to revive Megumi Fushiguro in the Shibuya Incident after Megumi became a victim of his Shikigami’s attack.
4. Kinji Hakari’s Reversed Cursed Techniques
Kinji Hakari is a third-year student at Jujutsu High School who has been suspended. So far, he is the strongest student and the one with the most potential. All of his Domain Expansion Hakari, Zasatsu Bakuto, is based on probability like the pachinko game. But winning the jackpot in his domain almost guarantees victory. When he reaches the jackpot, Hakari gains access to unlimited cursed energy that floods every part of his body. This process strengthens his physical abilities and floods his body with Reversed Cursed Energy in that state.
In conclusion, the Reversed Cursed Techniques in Jujutsu Kaisen are a powerful and mysterious ability that only a few sorcerers possess. It is fascinating to see how each character uses this technique differently, and their mastery of it makes them formidable opponents in battle. By understanding the intricacies of this technique and its users, we gain deeper insight into the world of Jujutsu Kaisen.
