Jujutsu Kaisen it’s an iconic shonen whose manga has just come to an end, and the hype and controversy surrounding it is sure to attract new faces who might initially be confused by its cursed energy system. At its core, cursed energy is simple: people experience a number of negative emotions in their daily lives. Most people have some degree of cursed energy, but only a few people are truly able to manipulate it. Jujutsu Kaisensystem jujutsu (“witchcraft”) is centered around manipulating cursed energy to make something happen.
Idea source of energy derived from human experience and emotions is unique among shonen manga. In many other series, let’s say Naruto (chakra), Hunter x Hunter (nen), JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure (jamon) and Dragon Ball (ki) – The main source of energy is the primordial life force that the characters manipulate. Damn energy is just one of the Jujutsu Kaisenrevolutionary ideas that break this trend on a completely new basis.
Cursed Energy Explains Who Does What in Jujutsu Kaisen
Cursed Energy – the atomic unit of the world of Jujutsu Kaisen
Jujutsu Kaisen can be a confusing series due to the different character classes, entities, and objects. An ordinary person is unable to use the cursed energy, and he could be called not a sorcerer. Those who can manipulate cursed energy are called curse usersWith sorcerers being a subclass of curse users who can see cursed spirits and use their cursed energy to fight curses rather than for criminal purposes. Curse users use damn techniques. They come in two flavors:
- Innate techniqueswhich develop randomly.
- Native methodswhich are genetic/familial.

Why are all the damn energy consumers in Japan?
Gege never speaks directly, but it’s not Tengen’s fault
The natural question is why the damned energy is so concentrated in Japan if everyone is draining it. Characters like Miguel from Jujutsu Kaisen 0from Kenya show that curse users are found outside of Japan. However, for some reason, Japan has more cursed energy than anywhere else. There is a misconception that Tengen installed barriers that concentrated and optimized the cursed energy. This is not true and Tengen barriers are not to blame for Japan’s damned energy sector.
Without spoilers, this misconception stems from a certain character’s plans for the future; This does not describe the use of barriers by Tengen herself. Tengen’s barriers contain the cursed energy in Japan, preventing it from leaking out. The reason for Japan’s enormous cursed energy is not entirely clear. One compelling theory is that, just as the birth of Gojo increased the number and skill of sorcerers, Sukuna’s presence in Japan had the opposite effect. It could also be Gege’s commentary on Japanese culture.
The Deepest Theme of Jujutsu Kaisen Depends on Cursed Energy
Cursed energy creates a situation in which people are to blame for their enemies
One of the main components Jujutsu Kaisen it’s his pervasive moral ambiguity. Jujutsu Kaisen it’s the rare franchise that takes the concept of moral ambiguity seriously, ensuring that all of its characters have understandable motivations and values. By creating a source of energy that comes from humans and their negativity, from which enemies come and which non-sorcerers cannot see, Gege developed an incredibly convincing basis for such a project. Consider Suguru Geto. Geto fought curses alongside Satoru Gojo as a wizard in a jujutsu school. A traumatic event shared by Gojo and Geto, where a young girl (Riko) was killed by a mercenary (Toji), will be the catalyst for Gojo turning against non-sorcerers.

Sorcerers “cursed” secretly fight curses while protecting non-sorcerers. The fact that only magicians can see them creates a sense of ethical responsibility in itself. For example, Nanami tried to leave witchcraft, but returned because he felt an ethical duty to non-witches. Instead of ungratefully defending people who would never know and would kill for something like money, Geto decided instead not to give up witchcraft, but instead to leave behind the dogmatic binary of good and evil to dream of a world where non- there are no sorcerers. , freeing everyone from curses.
Jujutsu KaisenThe damned energy system of Russia is unique because it provides a complex moral and ethical web unlike any other shonen.. The purpose of this kind of moral relativism is not to say that all morals are the same or of equal value, but to show that every other system of evaluating things comes from a point of view that is justified in thinking as it is. In turn, the cursed energy is what makes Jujutsu KaisenThe characters, no matter which side they represent, are so charming.
