Jujutsu Kaisen boasts an array of Cursed Techniques, each with its different capabilities, setting battles apart in its supernatural world. While some depend majorly on the user's skill, creativity, and strategic thinking, many of them are stronger due to their nature alone, irrespective of the expertise of the wielder.
This balance of individual mastery and innate strength creates fascinating dynamics, wherein even an apparently weaker sorcerer could outshine his or her peers with the proper application of their technique. From strategic brilliance to raw dominance, such techniques shape the most intense conflicts in the series. Here are the 5 cursed techniques made strong by the user and 5 that are inherently overpowered.

Choso’s Blood Manipulation and 4 other Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Techniques made strong by the user
1) Kenjaku’s Cursed Spirit Manipulation
Kenjaku's Cursed Spirit Manipulation allows him to control and command curses that he exorcises and absorbs. Although, inherently potent, Kenjaku raises its capacity with his strategic brilliance and combat adaptability.
This differs from Suguru Geto, who uses this technique to summon various cursed spirits, ranging from special grades, such as the Smallpox Deity, to a set of weaker curses, ultimately overwhelming opponents through sheer variety and tactical precision.
2) Sukuna’s Ten Shadows Technique
Sukuna's Ten Shadows Technique is an example of how a cursed technique can become exceptional with the right user in Jujutsu Kaisen. While Megumi has done a great job masterfully using the technique, Sukuna takes it to a different level. His vast reservoir of cursed energy adds size and power to the shikigami, and thus they are far more deadly.
Moreover, his thousand years of combat experience and tactical genius, allow him to optimize the technique creatively. Sukuna's stronger cursed energy manipulation is beyond anyone else's, proving that the Ten Shadows Technique is made powerful by the user.
3) Choso’s Blood Manipulation
Choso's Blood Manipulation is one of the Cursed Techniques in Jujutsu Kaisen made stronger by the user. In the form of a Death Painting Womb, he overcomes the main limit of the technique by transmuting cursed energy into blood, thus providing him with an endless limitless supply.
His perfection allows for advanced uses that include creating hardened blood missiles, enhancing speed to be equaled by Naoya, and releasing waves of poisonous blood to debilitate opponents. His creativity extends to internal manipulation and unique strategies, which makes his Blood Manipulation very versatile and deadly in battle.
4) Naoya Zenin's Projection Sorcery
Naoya Zenin's Projection Sorcery divides a second into 24 frames for the targets to adhere to strict movement rules or get immobilized. The technique is inherently powerful, but its real power emanates from Naoya's skills.
He was able to capitalize on this ability at overwhelming speed and with precise strikes for nearly unmatched combat conditions. Naoya blended his martial prowess with his strategic potential to turn Projection Sorcery into a deadly force. Projection Sorcery is one of the cursed techniques in Jujutsu Kaisen made powerful by the user.
5) Toge Inumaki’s Cursed Speech
Toge Inumaki’s Cursed Speech is a Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Technique that compels actions or effects through spoken commands, reinforced by cursed energy. While inherently versatile, its true power relies on the user’s skill in wielding it effectively.
Toge maximizes its potential with precise timing and clever word choices, avoiding excessive backlash by tailoring commands to the situation. His power to move enemies around and defend allies without causing unnecessary tension shows his level of expertise.
Yuta Okkotsu's Copy and 4 other Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Techniques that are inherently overpowered
1) Gojo’s Limitless
Limitless is inherently overpowered because of its unparalleled control over space at the atomic level, giving it the potential to stop objects with Infinity and create destructive forces with Hollow Purple. With the support of the Six Eyes, Gojo uses this with minimal energy consumption and exceptional precision in a way that is almost impossible for most opponents to counter.
Its inherent strength lies in its versatility when combining offense, defense, and control. Even without Gojo's mastery, Limitless would dominate battles, marking it as one of Jujutsu Kaisen's inherently overpowered Cursed Techniques.
2) Sukuna's Shrine
Sukuna's Shrine lets Sukuna release deadly invisible slashes that can target anything, from sorcerers to inanimate objects, with precision and adaptability. Cleave and Dismantle adjust their power to cut through defenses, while Divine Flame introduces long-range devastation.
The Malevolent Shrine domain expansion further amplifies its lethality, bypassing traditional barriers and affecting a vast area. Sukuna's Shrine combines adaptability with overwhelming offensive potential, making it one of Jujutsu Kaisen's most powerful techniques.
3) Fumihiko Takaba's Comedian
Comedian allows Fumihiko Takaba to manipulate reality based on what he finds funny. Its effects include conjuring objects, healing injuries without reverse cursed techniques, nullifying attacks, and manifesting surreal scenarios.
This power bypasses traditional limits, enabling Takaba to overcome even formidable opponents like Kenjaku. Though it relies heavily on Takaba's self-confidence, Comedian has incredible versatility and reality-warping power to an extent that makes it amazingly strong by its very nature.
4) Yuta Okkotsu's Copy
Copy is a cursed technique that Yuta Okkotsu can use to replicate the innate ability of another sorcerer by having Rika consume a part of the original user's body. It is inherently overpowered due to the wide range of abilities that Yuta can utilize.
He can copy several powerful techniques, such as Cursed Speech, and use them in battle at the right moment. With the ability to seamlessly switch between different techniques, Yuta becomes an unpredictable opponent, thus giving him a winning edge in combat.
5) Hajime Kashimo's Mythical Beast Amber
Mythical Beast Amber is among the overpowered Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Techniques since it enables the user to manifest anything created by electricity, directly from the cursed energy of a user.
It gives him tremendous agility, enhanced sense, and devastating attacks such as electromagnetic beams or sonic waves. The technique can reconstruct Kashimo's body into a form that can execute these phenomena, giving him overwhelming offensive power.
Final thoughts
Jujutsu Kaisen's Cursed Techniques come with an interesting blend of user-driven power and inherent strength. Techniques such as Kenjaku's manipulation of a Cursed Spirit and Sukuna's Ten Shadows Technique indicate that mastery and strategy could strengthen a technique.
However, inherently overpowered techniques such as Limitless, possessed by Gojo, or Copy, possessed by Yuta Okkotsu, exhibit techniques holding extreme power that is beyond the user's skill level.
