Jujutsu Kaisen is known for its skilled and powerful female characters that have made history in the anime world. The creator, Gege Akutami, has not taken these characters lightly and has made them powerful, independent, and determined. The female characters of the series are truly badasses, and it’s hard to find any damsels in distress in Jujutsu Kaisen.
One of the sweetest and cutest characters in the series is Miwa Kasumi but don’t let her appearance fool you; she has extraordinary magical powers that put her at the top of her class. Though she tends to act like a fangirl around her crush, Satoru Gojo, it doesn’t change the fact she’s a skilled fighter. She’s yet to show the full extent of her abilities, but once she does, fans will be blown away.
The wait is over! Here are the top five female characters in Jujutsu Kaisen, and a warning: this article contains spoilers.
5. Shoko Ieiri
Shoko Ieiri was one of the original trio alongside Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto, but she’s not a fighting type of witch. Instead, she chose to become a doctor and is still a powerful character, with the rare ability to use reverse curse techniques to regenerate missing limbs and heal wounds, something Satoru can’t even do. Shoko is also highly intelligent, accurately predicting that the punishment for losing in the Culling Game would take a severe toll on the players’ mental health.
4. Momo Nishimiya
Momo is not a direct combat witch, but she’s a great huntress, and her curse technique, Tsukumo Soujutsu, allows her to mark targets while staying on her broom above the battlefield. Momo is an underrated character, and although she challenged Nobara during a student exchange program, she was able to keep up with her using an energy curse wind attack.
3. Mai Zenin
Mai is Maki’s twin sister and has a curse technique similar to hers but with more cursed energy, though not as physical. Instead, she fights with a revolver coated in cursed energy and uses rubber bullets when fighting other witches. Her curse technique, Kouchiku Jutsushiki, is inefficient, consuming most of her cursed energy, but she still has much to offer in a fight.
2. Mei Mei
Mei Mei is a grade-1 witch recognized by many as more than just a skilled fighter. Satoru Gojo himself admits that she is a tough opponent. Mei Mei’s magical powers allow her to manipulate birds, and she’s excellent with the cursed technique, able to defeat even Satoru with it. She fights with a large ax and is a force to be reckoned with.
1. Maki Zenin
Maki is the strongest female character in Jujutsu Kaisen. She was born without magical abilities, but her drive and determination make up for it, allowing her to fight on par with cursed energy users. Maki is an excellent hand-to-hand fighter and uses cursed tools to aid her in battle. Maki’s strength and tenacity are unparalleled and have endeared her to fans around the world.
In conclusion, Jujutsu Kaisen has many fantastic female characters, each with their unique strengths and abilities. From high school students to special grade sorcerers, these women defy stereotypes and expectations and will continue to amaze fans with their prowess.
