JJK: 10 Culling Game Sorcerers Deadlier Than Sukuna

I was so hyped for Season 3, which finally dropped on January 8th, 2026! It kicked off the long-awaited Culling Game Arc. We already knew Ryomen Sukuna was ridiculously powerful – seriously, the King of Curses doesn’t even begin to describe it! But the Culling Game really threw everything into chaos, introducing a ton of both ancient and newly awakened sorcerers, each with their own unique skills. It’s awesome because raw strength isn’t everything in Jujutsu Kaisen. Some of the players in the Culling Game have these totally insane abilities that just break all the rules of what we thought was possible!

Sukuna isn’t invincible; he’s vulnerable in his brain and to certain cursed techniques. Sorcerers like Higuruma, Kashimo, and Takaba demonstrate potential strategies to defeat him, utilizing powerful Domain Expansions, instant-kill techniques, and reality-altering abilities. This ranking examines how these unique skills from the Culling Game sorcerers could theoretically be used to overcome Ryomen Sukuna.

Reggie Star’s Contractual Recreation Creates Unpredictable Arsenal

Reggie Star is a sorcerer reborn from the past, with a unique ability called Contractual Recreation. This allows him to instantly create anything he’s previously bought, simply by burning the receipt. He can recreate physical items like vehicles and weapons, and even things like services. Because he’s a skilled strategist, Reggie can anticipate what his opponents will do and change his plans accordingly, potentially using the King of Curses’ pride against him.

Reggie’s abilities offer a flexible approach when facing Sukuna. He could potentially win by surprising Sukuna with unusual combinations of weapons and tactics. This would be effective because Sukuna would have trouble adapting to a fighting style that doesn’t follow predictable patterns. Furthermore, Reggie’s technique focuses on preparation rather than brute force, meaning he doesn’t need to be more powerful than Sukuna to have a chance.

Dhruv Lakdawalia’s Pseudo Domain Shikigami Guarantees Unavoidable Hits

Dhruv Lakdawalia rose to power in Japan during its period of civil war, known as the Wa era. His magical creations, called shikigami, create orbital patterns that act like protective barriers. He uses enormous, rodent-like and pterosaur-shaped shikigami to constantly guard specific areas, ensuring any intruder is immediately attacked. Dhruv is a powerful sorcerer capable of even forcing the incredibly strong Ryomen Sukuna to defend himself.

Dhruv is protected by a nearly impenetrable network of Shikigami. To reach him, Sukuna must either defeat every massive Shikigami positioned along these paths or carefully avoid them altogether. Dhruv’s ability to consistently land attacks is similar to domain expansion, but it doesn’t require a significant energy expenditure. In fact, some fans of Jujutsu Kaisen believe Dhruv may have even been the original creator of domain expansion.

Ryu Ishigori’s Massive Cursed Energy Output Matches Sukuna’s Firepower

Ryu Ishigori has the most cursed energy of anyone participating in the Culling Game. His special technique, Cursed Energy Discharge, releases incredibly powerful blasts of energy, similar to cannon fire. A single attack, Granite Blast, can destroy several city blocks with focused energy beams. Yuta Okkotsu described fighting Ryu as feeling like hitting a huge, unyielding water tank.

Ryu is incredibly durable and can withstand even his own powerful attacks. He can launch multiple, spiraling energy blasts from various angles, and his Domain Expansion guarantees they all connect with his opponent. This combination of resilience and offensive power makes Ryu a sorcerer who can rival Ryomen Sukuna in terms of sheer destructive force, putting them on equal footing in a direct clash.

Kinji Hakari’s Unkillable Mode Creates Temporary Invincibility

Several characters in Jujutsu Kaisen believe Kinji Hakari is as powerful as Satoru Gojo. His Domain Expansion, Idle Death Gamble, works like a pachinko machine, and winning the jackpot gives him a limitless supply of cursed energy for over four minutes. He also has a mode called Unkillable Mode that instantly activates his healing abilities and repairs any injuries. Throughout the jackpot duration, the song ‘Admiring you’ plays as the theme.

Hakari truly stands out when he instantly regrows his arm while fighting Hajime Kashimo. This demonstrates that not even Ryomen Sukuna can defeat Hakari when his Unkillable Mode is active. Beyond that, Hakari’s cursed energy is exceptionally sharp and has a powerful cutting ability. He’s particularly strong in long battles, which could exhaust Sukuna, and if Hakari keeps entering his jackpot state, Sukuna will struggle to overwhelm him.

Angel Can Nullify All Curse Techniques With Jacob’s Ladder

During the Culling Game, Hana Kurusu shares a unique connection with Angel, who lives inside her. Angel’s power is similar to incredibly rare cursed tools like the Inverted Spear of Heaven and Black Rope. It can completely cancel out cursed techniques, protective barriers, and cursed objects. This ability, called Jacob’s Ladder, appears as a trumpet with four wings and a large circle of light in the sky. When used at maximum power, it creates a beam of light that negates any technique it touches within its range.

Okay, so the fight at Jacob’s Ladder was intense! Sukuna was seriously close to being finished before Hana jumped in – you can really tell she cares about Megumi. It’s wild to think Sukuna, being a cursed object himself, is actually vulnerable to the light from Extinguishment. And Hana and Angel’s wings? Total game-changer! It gives them this amazing aerial advantage that Sukuna would have a hard time dealing with. But the really cool part is how Technique Extinguishment completely shuts down Sukuna’s most powerful attacks – Dismantle, Cleave, even Malevolent Shrine! Honestly, with their anti-technique abilities, Hana and Angel are Sukuna’s biggest weakness, plain and simple.

Takako Uro’s Sky Manipulation Technique Redirects All of Sukuna’s Attacks

Takako Uro has the incredible ability to control the sky as if it were a solid object, allowing her to bend and reshape the space around her. Her technique warps distances, changes the form of things, and redirects attacks by manipulating space like a curved mirror. She can also break through dimensional barriers with ‘Thin Ice Breaker,’ unleashing powerful blasts. During the battles at the Sendai Colony, Uro proved she’s a master of Domain Expansion, a highly advanced jujutsu technique.

Uro’s ability to warp space lets her deflect Sukuna’s attacks. She can also create powerful shockwaves by hitting the sky, causing it to shatter like ice. Combining these skills, Uro can bypass Sukuna’s defenses using dimensional shifts and effectively counter his immense power by redirecting his attacks.

Yorozu’s True Sphere Generates Infinite Pressure Against Sukuna

Yorozu’s construction technique lets her recreate any non-living material using powerful cursed energy. She’s created a special liquid metal that can move and react on its own, and uses it to create ‘Insect Armor’ which boosts her strength and toughness. Her most powerful ability, True Sphere, forms a perfectly shaped sphere that creates immense pressure on anything it touches, instantly destroying it. This is because the sphere has no surface area, concentrating all the force on a single point. Her Domain Expansion, Threefold Affliction, ensures anything touched by True Sphere is immediately obliterated.

During the Heian era, Yorozu became skilled in the Construction technique and gained prominence alongside Sukuna. She has a strong obsession with him, and is powerful enough to have made him summon Mahoraga while they fought in the Culling Game. Yorozu also endured Sukuna’s Ten Shadows Technique for a prolonged battle, challenging him more than anyone else from that time period.

Hajime Kashimo’s Mythical Beast Amber Overwhelms Sukuna’s True Form

Hajime Kashimo, considered the most powerful jujutsu sorcerer of the last 400 years, fights using cursed energy that delivers a constant electric shock on contact. His unique ability, Lightning Discharge, ensures his attacks land, even without needing a domain expansion. He wields the Nyoi Staff, which amplifies his electric power, allowing him to easily defeat strong opponents like Kinji Hakari. Because of his strength, Kashimo earned over 40 points in the Culling Game.

In addition to his other abilities, Kashimo uses a technique called Mythical Beast Amber to rebuild his body and generate electricity. This technique pushes his brain function, speed, and senses far beyond normal human capabilities. He can also fire focused sound and electromagnetic waves capable of instantly destroying opponents. Kashimo’s immense power forced Sukuna to unleash his full, four-armed form just to counter it.

Fumihiko Takaba’s Reality-Breaking Comedy Even Affects Satoru Gojo

Okay, so I’m totally fascinated by Fumihiko Takaba’s cursed technique, ‘The Comedian’! It’s wild – apparently, it awakened when the Culling Game started. Basically, whatever Takaba finds funny becomes real, and the narrator’s confirmed it actually happens! The really crazy part is that he forces his opponents to play along with these made-up scenarios, and they actually get hurt – like, seriously hurt. People are speculating it could even do some serious damage to someone as powerful as Sukuna! There’s a catch though – Takaba has to be completely, 100% confident in what he’s doing for it to work. It’s such a cool, but demanding, technique!

During the Culling Game, Angel suggested Takaba fight Kenjaku, explaining that Takaba’s unique ability to warp reality through soul resonance would be effective. Kenjaku himself acknowledged that even his extensive jujutsu knowledge couldn’t overcome Takaba’s technique, and Takaba defeated Kenjaku’s Cursed Spirit Manipulation in surprisingly humorous ways. This demonstrates that Takaba offers a very different, and unexpected, approach to countering Sukuna’s powerful, direct attacks.

Hiromi Higuruma’s Executioner’s Sword Carries a Guaranteed Death Sentence

Hiromi Higuruma developed his unique cursed technique only twelve days before the Culling Game began. This technique creates a domain resembling a courtroom where any fighting is forbidden. Within this domain, a spirit named Judgeman acts as a prosecutor, bringing charges against individuals for past misdeeds. If Judgeman finds someone guilty and sentences them to death, a gavel transforms into a powerful sword capable of instantly killing anyone with a single strike, no matter the situation.

Higuruma’s Domain Amplification was incredibly powerful, comparable to Sukuna’s own technique – even Kenjaku recognized this. This makes Higuruma a definite threat to Sukuna, capable of defeating him. Sukuna would be held accountable by Higuruma for all the murders he’s committed throughout history. Furthermore, because Higuruma’s technique targets the soul itself, it would completely incapacitate Sukuna, even if Sukuna were possessing multiple bodies.
