7 Characters Who Never Mastered Their Techniques

The Jujutsu Kaisen The franchise is full of powerful characters that sport some of the most broken abilities seen in the entire shonen anime genre. Able to send deadly invisible slashes from forces that can manipulate eons, these cursed techniques are sometimes as iconic as the magicians who wield them.

However, there are some incredibly overpowered techniques that do not have powerful users, often because those users were unable to fully master their techniques in the first place. So, in this article, let's go over them Jujutsu Kaisen Characters who, despite having powerful techniques, were unable to fully master them.

Nobara Kugisaki could target souls

Cursed Technique: Straw Doll Technique

Nobara was a student at Jujutsu High along with Yuji and Megumi, although she doesn't talk as much as her friends. In fact, he has one of the most iconic and incredibly cursed techniques in the series, as it is the only one capable of bypassing physical stability to directly target an opponent's soul.

Throughout the series, Nobara showed how powerful this technique really was, and she used it well. However, he was never able to modify it to create a domain that possessed the properties of the technique, meaning he could never fully master it. However, compared to others on this list, she was a very proficient user of her innate technique.

Toge Inumaki was limited by his low cursed energy

Cursed Technology: Cursed Speech

Toge Inumaki was a senior student within the ranks of Tokyo Jujutsu High, and he was born with the incredible cursed speech cursed technique. In essence, this technique allows the user to shout commands at their targets, forcing them to obey what they say, making it an incredibly powerful technique from a basic standpoint.

However, using Cursed Speech to its full potential can only be done with a large pool of Cursed Energy, as more complex commands demand greater reserves. In comparison, the Inumaki's Cursed Energy was very low, as he was only able to shout fairly basic commands, with more complex ones delivering a large shock that could kill him. On top of that, the Inumaki couldn't use the Reverse Cursed Technique to repeatedly heal his throat after the command, greatly limiting his chances there as well.

Mai Genin's less cursed energy limited her technique

Cursed Technology: Construction

In the Calling Game arc, fans saw how the Construction Cursed Technique was truly broken by Yorozu's hands. Due to her immense cursed energy reserves, Yorozu was able to create amazing things that sometimes put Tsukuna on the back foot, such as the Perfect Sphere that was able to obliterate everything in its path.

A user of construction techniques in the modern era was the Mai Genin, though her abilities were laughable compared to Yorozu's own. This is because the laws of jujutsu treat the twins as a single being whose soul has been split, so his already less cursed energy was split into Maki as well. This meant that Mai only had enough cursed energy to make 1 bullet a day, so she never got to see what her cursed technique was really capable of.

Junpei Yoshino's powers had awakened unnaturally

Cursed Technology: Lunar Drugs

Junpei Yoshino remains one of the saddest characters in the whole Jujutsu Kaisen suffrage His cursed technique was revealed through a shikigami that he called Moon Dregs. Using this creature, Junpei could use his curse energy to create a powerful poison that could spread easily and quickly incapacitate his victims.

However, the major drawback to Junpei's power was that his curse energy was forcefully awakened by Mahito's passive transformation rather than naturally like everyone else's. This means that he didn't really have time for his powers to become greater than theirs.

Haruta Shigemo is ignorant of how his technique works

Cursed Technique: Miracle

As possibly the most pathetic character in the entire series, Haruta has a cursed technique that mirrors his personality. The 'miracles' take the small miracles that Haruta encounters throughout the day, such as seeing 11:11 on the clock, and stores them in special slots under his eyes that are automatically activated once his life is in danger.

Although it seems like a remarkably useful technique, the reason it doesn't get any shine is because Haruta never knew how it actually worked. Because of this, he couldn't make much use of these miracles, and once they ran away, Sukuna easily killed them.

Megumi Fushiguro was living in a gold mine

Cursed Technique: The Ten Shadows

throughout Jujutsu Kaisen series, The Ten Shadows Cursed Technique can comfortably be called the strongest of them all. Moreover, it is also the most versatile, as it gives the user access to ten shikigami, each with their own characteristics and combat utility, eventually culminating in the legendary Mahoraga, who can adapt to anything.

Megumi is often the butt of many jokes within the fandom, particularly known as 'Possible Man', who had the potential to surpass even Gozo but largely did nothing throughout the series. Although he mastered most of Ten Shades, his inability to tame Maharaja and his absence from most of the series made him perhaps the biggest question mark. Jujutsu Kaisen.

Fumihiko Takaba had the greatest cursed technique ever

Cursed Technique: The Comedian

In a world full of crazy technology and powerful characters, Fumihiko Takaba stands alone as the one who can beat them all, and it's through his reality-altering cursed technology. Essentially, the comedian allows Takaba to do whatever he wants, as long as he finds it funny.

This power seems to have no limits, as Takaba can manifest complex objects, transport himself and his target across stages and locations, and even negate his opponent's techniques, all of which fall under the realm of what he finds ridiculous. However, the problem here is that Takaba has no idea how this cursed technology works, so he can never control it. However, if he mastered it, not even Gojo or Tsukuna could face him.
