Power Scaling Characters in the Shibuya Arc

With the Shibuya arc coming to its close. It is time to reflect on the characters that made it out alive, and also the ones that saw their ending during this monstrosity of an event. To keep things simple, it must be stated that an enormous SPOILER WARNING is in effect. This spoiler warning is also relevant for folks that have been watching this arc unfold each week via the anime. As the Shibuya arc is incomplete as of the time this blog is being written, information only available from the manga will be presented. This portion of Jujutsu Kaisen has the largest character cast and the most fights.

*These characters don’t have enough feats in order to be assessed accurately (besides getting bodied by Toji…).


While there isn’t a large importance on the congruity of agreeance within the Jujutsu Kaisen fandom on which character would win in a fight against another, fans can take an educated guess based on feats, claims, and fights on where a certain character falls on the power scale. While this power scaling is quite accurate, it’s generally all for good fun, and should be taken lightly. HOWEVER—feel free to quote this blog in an argument with your friends on which characters are the stronger than another.


Heya! I’m Owen. I’m the rugby playing, manga reading, drag race watching, poetry writing, cosplaying, fandom hopping hot mess that your parents warned you about. For as long as I can remember I have been comparing, contrasting, and speculating about all of my favourite geeky hobbies. Hiding in the library in middle school and devouring three volumes of Hunter X Hunter every day most definitely had its perks. Eight years later and I’m still going strong. I’m able to geek out about many things, so you’ll be sure to get your fill while you check out my blog.
