12 Weakest Cursed Techniques in Jujutsu Kaisen – Weak but Surprisingly Powerful in the Right Hands


In Jujutsu Kaisen, not all cursed techniques are created equal. Some seem weak or unimpressive at first glance, but when wielded by the right sorcerer, they can become game-changing abilities. Today, we’ll explore 12 of the weakest cursed techniques that defy expectations through sheer mastery, intelligence, and grit.


1. Sukuna's Divine Flame – A Tactical Masterpiece



While Sukuna is known for his devastating Cleave and Dismantle techniques, Divine Flame stands out as a surprisingly underwhelming ability for the King of Curses. Its speed is slow, its range is limited, and it’s generally not effective in crowded combat situations. However, Sukuna's mastery of Jujutsu and his clever use of binding vows amplify this ability’s potential.

Key Points About Divine Flame:

  • Can only be fully utilized in one-on-one combat unless Sukuna's domain, Malevolent Shrine, is active.
  • Binding vows amplify its power, turning it into a deadly nuke-like attack as seen in Chapter 259.

Despite its limitations, Sukuna’s strategic application of this ability proves that even a "weak" technique can become overwhelmingly destructive.


2. Aoi Todo's Boogie Woogie – A Battlefield Disruptor



At its core, Boogie Woogie allows Aoi Todo to swap places with others (or make two others swap) by clapping his hands. It lacks offensive power and doesn’t provide any direct attacks. Yet, in Todo’s hands, it becomes an unpredictable battlefield disruptor.

What Makes Boogie Woogie Shine:

  • Instant position swapping keeps enemies off balance.
  • Relies heavily on Todo’s physical strength and combat IQ.

Todo's raw strength, insane combat awareness, and quick thinking elevate Boogie Woogie into a top-tier technique, allowing him to stand toe-to-toe with powerful enemies like Hanami and Mahito.


3. Mei Mei's Black Bird Manipulation – Deadly Precision



Mei Mei's Black Bird Manipulation might seem more like a surveillance tool than a combat technique. She primarily uses her crows for intel gathering. However, Mei trained relentlessly to compensate for this limitation.

The Game-Changing Technique – Bird Strike:

  • Forces a crow into a suicidal kamikaze attack, delivering a deadly blow.
  • Requires a binding vow to push the cursed energy beyond normal limits.

Only elite sorcerers like Gojo, Sukuna, and Kashimo could survive this devastating move. Mei’s physical strength and strategic mind make her a formidable force despite her seemingly weak cursed technique.


4. Kento Nanami's Ratio Technique – Precision Over Power



Nanami's Ratio Technique marks a weak spot on his opponent at a 7:3 ratio, guaranteeing a critical hit if he lands his attack. While effective, it heavily relies on the user's physical strength and ability to land those precise strikes.

Strength in Simplicity:

  • Precise targeting system for critical hits.
  • Effectiveness scales with the user's combat skills and strength.

Nanami’s exceptional swordsmanship and combat strategy turn this seemingly basic ability into a devastating force, especially against enemies like Mahito.


5. Kenjaku's Brain Transplant – The Ultimate Parasite



Kenjaku's Brain Transplant allows him to possess another person's body, including dead ones. On its own, it’s not particularly powerful—it doesn’t provide raw combat skills or flashy techniques. However, Kenjaku’s intelligence and cunning make it terrifying.

What Makes Brain Transplant Terrifying:

  • Access to the host's cursed energy, techniques, and memories.
  • Essentially grants immortality by body-hopping.

Kenjaku's manipulations and thousand-year survival prove that even the weakest abilities can dominate when paired with a genius mind.


6. Yuta Okkotsu's Copy – Dependency on Rika

Yuta's Copy technique allows him to replicate other cursed techniques. Sounds OP, right? Not quite. Without Rika, this ability loses much of its edge.

The Limitations of Copy:

  • Requires consuming part of the target's body.
  • Yuta's brain can only handle 3-4 techniques at once.
  • Relies on Rika’s near-infinite cursed energy supply.

Without Rika, Copy would be significantly weaker, proving that Yuta's real strength comes from his bond with his cursed spirit.


7. Kinji Hakari's Idle Death Gamble – Luck Over Power

Hakari’s Idle Death Gamble transforms his domain into a pachinko machine. If he hits the jackpot, he becomes nearly invincible for 4 minutes and 11 seconds. However, luck is a fickle ally.

Strengths and Weaknesses:

  • Jackpot grants temporary immortality.
  • Without the jackpot, the technique leaves Hakari vulnerable.

Hakari’s absurd confidence, combat skill, and luck make this gambling-based technique viable, but it’s clear that without his natural flair, it wouldn't be nearly as effective.


8. Yoshinobu Gakuganji's Amplifier Technique – Rock and Roll Sorcery

Gakuganji’s cursed technique transforms his guitar into an amplifier for cursed energy. It lacks direct offensive power and relies entirely on the user's energy reserves.

Key Limitations:

  • No inherent damage output.
  • Effectiveness depends on the user's cursed energy reserves.

Despite these limitations, Gakuganji's skill allowed him to defeat Yaga, a grade-one sorcerer candidate for special grade status.


9. Utahime Iori's Solo Forbidden Area – A Support Role

Utahime’s Solo Forbidden Area buffs her allies' techniques by 20%. It’s a pure support ability, meaning its power depends entirely on the strength of the sorcerers she’s supporting.

Strength in Team Play:

  • Buffs powerful techniques like Gojo’s Hollow Purple.
  • Limited offensive applications.

While not flashy, Utahime's ability is invaluable in high-stakes group battles.


10. Miguel's Prayer Song – Debuff Specialist

Miguel’s Prayer Song allows him to weaken curses and enhance his physical strength. While useful, it’s not particularly flashy or destructive.

Strength in Physical Combat:

  • Enhances Miguel's physical strength.
  • Provides subtle debuffs to cursed spirits.

Gojo himself recognized Miguel's potential, noting his raw combat skills might even surpass some special-grade sorcerers.


11. Ogi Zenin's Blazing Courage – A Flaming Weapon Extension

The Blazing Courage technique simply adds flames to a weapon. While visually impressive, it doesn’t provide any advanced abilities.

What It Lacks:

  • No additional buffs or enhancements.
  • Relies heavily on swordsmanship skill.

Ogi Zenin’s raw combat ability made the most of this weak technique, but it still paled in comparison to Maki’s brute strength.


12. Master Tengen's Immortality – A Blessing and a Curse

Tengen's cursed technique grants immortality but doesn’t prevent physical aging. Over time, they evolved beyond human limits and became more like a cursed spirit.

Immortality’s Double-Edged Sword:

  • Immortal but physically vulnerable.
  • Relies on others for protection.

Tengen’s technique serves a larger purpose in the Jujutsu world but offers little personal power in direct combat.





In Jujutsu Kaisen, power isn’t just about having an overpowered cursed technique—it’s about how you use it. These 12 abilities might seem weak on paper, but their users' intelligence, physical strength, and strategic thinking transformed them into deadly tools in battle.

It’s not the technique—it’s the sorcerer behind it.
