How strong is Mahito in ‘Jujutsu Kaisen?’

Mahito emerges as one of the most menacing figures in the Jujutsu Kaisen anime, leaving an indelible mark on viewers with his fearsome presence as a special-grade cursed spirit. Possessing the innate technique of “idle transfiguration,” Mahito can effortlessly assume the form of anything infused with cursed energy through a mere touch. Astoundingly, he achieves a domain expansion within days of his birth, solidifying his status as one of the most potent entities in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe.

Surviving an encounter with Ryomen Sukuna, Mahito establishes himself as a formidable adversary. Notably, he becomes the first non-sorcerer to execute a “Black Flash” and accomplishes the rare feat of performing multiple “Black Flashes” within a single day. Despite his ultimate fate at the hands of Kugisaki Nobara, Aoi Todo, and Yuji Itadori, Mahito’s prowess sets him apart as the strongest among cursed spirits, earning him the moniker “disaster curse.”

Mahito’s invulnerability to physical attacks adds to his mystique, rendering him impervious except to those capable of harming the soul or possessing a comprehensive self-awareness of their own soul. Only select characters, such as Yuji Itadori with Sukuna’s essence, hold the potential to inflict harm upon Mahito. Satoru Gojo, wielding “Infinity,” Ryomen Sukuna with “Dismantle,” and Kugisaki Nobara with “Resonance” are identified as individuals with the ability to damage Mahito due to their unique capabilities targeting his cursed energy or attacking the soul directly. The cursed tools “Playful Cloud” and “Inverted Spear of Heaven” are also believed to have the capacity to harm him.

Mahito’s “Instant Spirit Body of Distorted Killing” stands as a pivotal advantage, elevating his strength to unparalleled heights. In this form, Mahito not only becomes impervious to physical attacks but also retains his ability to manipulate the souls of his adversaries with a mere touch. Operating at 120% of his latent potential, Mahito demonstrates superiority over Jogo, Hanami, and Dagon, pushing back both Yuji and Aoi Todo before undergoing this transformative state. His augmented body, capable of assuming various shapes and envisioning anything, temporarily establishes Mahito as the most potent cursed spirit alive, albeit for a brief period.
