Jujutsu Kaisen: 11 Most Evil Characters In The Series, Ranked

Highlights

• Jujutsu Kaisen features evil humans who are just as bad, if not worse, than the curses themselves.
• Characters like Toji Fushiguro and Mahito display extreme disregard for human life and commit horrifying acts of violence.
• Noritoshi Kamo and Sukuna are among the most evil characters, engaging in heinous experiments and showing no remorse for their actions.

Jujutsu Kaisen is a shonen action series, but it is much darker than the other titles that fall into the same demographic. It is set in a world where curses roam freely and kill whoever they desire. One might think that curses are the most evil thing to exist in Jujutsu Kaisen, but this is not entirely true.

There are some humans who are just as bad as the curses, if not worse. They have committed many atrocities that have affected the common people and ruined their lives. With that in mind, here are the most evil characters in Jujutsu Kaisen.

Updated on December 17, 2023, by Suzail Ahmad: In a world full of curses, it is hardly surprising to find so many evil-doers. These individuals have no qualms about killing and maiming their targets because they enjoy it. Throughout the series, fans have seen characters reveal their heinous sides. Most of these individuals have some kind of power, which gives them the impression that they are better than the rest. They make sure to remind everyone else of their superiority, and what better way to do that than by murdering innocent people? Keeping in mind their actions, these are the most evil characters in Jujutsu Kaisen.

11 Juzo Kumiya

Killed People To Make Accessories

Juzo Kumiya was a curse user who served as one of the many antagonists in season one of Jujutsu Kaisen. He was a man with no sense of morality, as evidenced by his behavior during the Goodwill Event.

Juzo was crazy, and he only cared about killing people and turning them into hangers. He was not interested in killing curse spirits, as he couldn’t use them to make anything. Juzo would mainly target young women and powerful characters because he believed that they were only worthy of being killed.

10 Haruta Shigemo

Preyed On The Weak

Haruto Shigemo was a psychopath who was a part of the Goodwill Event Arc and the Shibuya Incident Arc. He was a curse user who loved picking on individuals who were weak.

Shigemo was thrilled whenever he saw a weak person. He would then start attacking them, making sure that they wouldn’t die so easily. Throughout the series, Shigemo assaulted people who were either injured or too weak to defend themselves. It brought him great joy to torment them before finishing them off.

9 Jiro Awasaka

Tortured His Opponents

Jiro Awasaka made his debut in the Shibuya Incident arc, where he went up against Yuji and Megumi. From a young age, Jiro used his abilities to curse others and make money out of it. He was an assassin who enjoyed torturing his enemies before snuffing the life out of them.

Jiro didn’t kill his opponents cleanly, and in many cases, he would tear the skin of his opponents while they were still alive. They would plead for mercy, but it would fall on deaf ears. This sick nature makes Jiro one of the most evil characters in Jujutsu Kaisen.

8 Naoya Zenin

A Narcissist Who Didn’t Care About Anyone

Naoya Zenin was an insufferable individual who hailed from the prestigious Zenin clan. From his childhood days, Naoya was praised by everyone around him, which fueled his ego to an unhealthy level. This led to him becoming a narcissist who would always look down on others.

He only thought of women as wives and considered them inferior. Naoya also stated that any woman who couldn’t keep up with a man should be stabbed in the back. He hatched a plot to kill Megumi and even attacked his friends to lure him out.

7 Toji Fushiguro

Would Kill Anyone For Money

Toji Fushiguro was an elite assassin whose feats earned him the nickname “Sorcerer Killer.” He had no cursed energy, but his Heavenly Pact enabled him to fight against the likes of Gojo and Geto. Toji had excellent analytical skills, which he used to figure out his opponent’s weaknesses.

Despite being a human, Toji had zero regard for the lives of others. He neglected his own son and daughter, leaving them alone. Toji only desired money, and he would do any kind of work if he was being paid well. This was evident from the fact that he killed Riko, who was an innocent girl. All she wanted to do was live a normal life, but Toji shattered that dream.

6 Jogo

Murdered Numerous People

Jogo was a powerful special grade curse who was in cahoots with Mahito and other characters who shared his vision. He was born out of humans’ fear of disasters concerning fire, so Jogo had abilities related to the element. When he was in a restaurant with other curses and Geto, Jogo openly expressed his hatred toward humans.

Before the villains headed outside, Jogo used his power to set fire to everyone around them. It was a truly horrifying scene, as people were screaming in pain. Such levels of deviancy make Jogo one of the most wicked characters in Jujutsu Kaisen.

5 Mahito

Toyed With Humans For Entertainment

Mahito is one of the most well-known characters in Jujutsu Kaisen. He is an unregistered special grade curse who is extremely notorious. Mahito looks like a human, but he lacks all the basic emotions that a regular person would have. His aim is to create a world that is free from humans.

To achieve this goal, Mahito created a group with other special grade curses, and later they allied with Suguru Geto. Mahito has an ability called Idle Transfiguration, which allows him to touch the souls of other people and reshape them. Once he makes contact with another person, he can turn them into hideous-looking creatures. So far, the worst thing that Mahito has done is manipulate Junpei and turn him into a monster. The poor boy could not stand the pain and begged for death, but Mahito was totally unfazed and seemed to enjoy it.

4 Noritoshi Kamo

A Heinous Individual

Noritoshi Kamo is regarded as the most vile sorcerer in history. He lived over a century prior to the current timeline. Noritoshi Kamo used to run a temple in the Meiji era and oversaw all the activities that took place on the sacred grounds. One day, a woman who could give birth to human-spirit hybrids made her way to the place.

Instead of taking care of the woman, Noritoshi committed heinous experiments on her, which resulted in the creation of the Cursed Womb: Death Paintings. A person who has committed such savagery truly deserves the epithet of being the evilest Jujutsu sorcerer.

3 Suguru Geto

Killed His Parents And Many Others

At one point, Suguru Geto was one of the two rising stars of Jujutsu High. He was classified as a special grade curse user and believed to have an immensely high talent. Geto was sensible and tried his best to save other people. He went through an inner conflict, but he stayed on the right path until he witnessed how normal people despised those who had a penchant for jujutsu. This forced Geto to become a rogue sorcerer.

He made up his mind that he would create a world for only Jujutsu sorcerers. In his fury, he killed an entire village that had a population of over a hundred people. Geto went as far as killing his own parents to prove his resolve. If someone dared to stand in his way, Geto used his powers to force them into submission.

2 Kenjaku

Took Over People’s Bodies And Committed Horrible Crimes

Kenjaku is an ancient sorcerer who has existed for over a thousand years. He survived by transplanting his brain inside the bodies of other people, a feat only possible because of his innate technique. Kenjaku is a nefarious individual who doesn’t shy away from murdering people.

Throughout his life, Kenjaku has taken control of various individuals and made them commit sick and sordid activities. He has no remorse for his actions, and without the presence of powerful sorcerers, there is no telling what he would have done. Needless to say, he is among the most evil characters in Jujutsu Kaisen.

1 Sukuna

The Most Dangerous Individual

Sukuna is known as the King of Curses due to the insane number of atrocities that he has committed in the past. Many people tried to put an end to Sukuna’s heinous activities, but his strength proved to be too much for them.

Sukuna continued to gain power, and before dying, he decided to split his strength into 20 fingers. These items were classified as cursed objects, and eating even one of them granted immense power. Sukuna has no sympathy toward other people, as evidenced by the fact that he laughed when Yuji was mentally distraught by Junpei’s death. Sukuna is obsessed with his goals and doesn’t care who he has to kill to achieve them.
