In the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, there are powerful supernatural beings called Shikigami, each with unique abilities. Certain sorcerers can summon these shikigami, which they then use to further enhance their powers in battle.

Most shikigami are not excellent in hand-to-hand combat and lack destructive powers. So therefore they summon these shikigami they can use for both offense and defense.

In this post, we go over 12 different shikigami and rank them based on their powers, usefulness, abilities, durability, and feats.

Dive in and read further to see the most accurate ranking of the 12 most powerful shikigami in Jujutsu Kaisen!

12. Rabbit Escape

Rabbit Escape is a giant swarm of rabbit shikigami from Megumi’s ten shadows technique. They can temporarily overwhelm and distract an opponent because of their countless amounts. Megumi and others then can use that brief moment to escape from the target by using the chaos to their advantage.

Although Rabbit Escape is a weak shinigami, Megumi can continue generating more rabbits, as it doesn’t affect his cursed energy. We see him using it to escape from Toji Fushiguro in Shibuya.

11. Gama

Gama is a large toad shinigami from Megumi’s Ten Shadow Technique that supports its master in battle. This shikigami has a long tong, that can restrain its opponent and throw them against objects.

The speed of Gama’s tongue helps as a fast solution to remove its master from danger, and it can also store humans in its mouth.

Megumi uses it frequently, during his fight against Aoi Todo and the Shibuya Incident Arc. Although it lacks power, its tongue’s speed and big mouth are quite helpful.

10. Nue

Nue is one of the most versatile shikigami from the ten shadows technique because it can assist in battle, defense, and escape because of its high mobility and ability to fly. It is an electric-winged shikigami that flies around with great speed and can produce electric shocks to temporarily paralyze targets.

Nue is even more effective as support when it combines its strengths with other shikigami such as Max Elephant, Divine Dogs, and Orochi.

9. Orochi/Great Serpent

Orochi is a huge snake shikigami from the ten shadows technique that can launch quick attacks when it gets summoned.

It can appear from the shadows or the ground, and immediately attack. Because of the great serpent’s giant size, it can overwhelm curses and keep them in place for someone to attack.

While Sukuna easily killed this shikigami, its powers got transferred to another shikigami. so that will be interesting.

8. Max Elephant

This elephant shikigami can spout large quantities of water from its trunk, and this shikigami is even bigger than Megumi.

It takes some effort to tame it, and you have to be careful when to use it because it uses a bunch of cursed energy.

When Megumi fought Noritoshi Kamo, the water blasts from Max Elephant launched him through a wall. Even the weight of Max Elephant can be used to crush the opponent.

7. Divine Dogs

Dvine Dogs are twin wolves shikigami from the ten shadows technique and can tear apart curses and targets, eating them afterward. Important to know: Whenever a shikigami dies, the user can never summon it again. However, all the abilities and techniques get transferred to another Shikigami.

This happened when the white divine dog died, and its abilities were transferred to the black divine dog. So now as Divine Dog Totality, you have a stronger and faster shikigami.

It can also detect curses and notify its master when something approaches. Due to its stronger powers. Divine Dogs was able to inflict great damage on the special grade disaster curse, Hanami.

Divine Dogs continues to prove its worth during other Jujutsu Kaisen arcs.

6. Judgeman

Judgeman is the shikigami from Hiromi Higuruma’s innate technique. This shikigami mainly acts in Higuruma’s Domain Expansion: Deadly Sentencing. This domain expansion reflects a courtroom where Judgeman then gains information against the defendant; therefore, you can never lie.

After giving the information, Judgeman decides if you are guilty, and then a punishment follows.

The most extreme sentence Judgeman can give is the Death Penalty accompanied by Confiscation. First, Confiscation withdraws the ability of the guilty to use cursed techniques and then gives the user the Executioner’s Sword

5. Piercing Ox

Piercing Ox is a strong shinigami from the ten shadows technique introduced in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga chapter 217.

It can only move in a straight line to attack, but the longer the distance, the stronger the attack against the opponent will be.

This is another shikigami that can be more lethal when combined with other shikigami like Max Elephant. Although Piercing Ox has not appeared much in the manga, its power is the real deal.

4. Round Deer

Round Deer is a towering gigantic deer shikigami that has one of the best abilities of all shikigami from the ten shadows technique. This deer can use positive energy to heal through the reversed cursed technique.

Secondly, Round Deer can cancel cursed techniques because of its positive energy output since cursed techniques come from negative cursed energy.

3. Garuda

Garuda is a shikigami from special grade sorcerer Yuki Tsukumo, and it used for Yuki’s innate technique: Star Rage.

This cursed technique enables the user to create virtual mass to itself and to Garuda.

As a result, Garuda then becomes a cursed tool when this cursed technique is activated. Not even Kenjaku or the Jujutsu Headquarters knew about this ability because Yuki Tsukumo never shared or showed any information about it.

2. Rika

Rika is a fascinating and powerful character from the Jujutsu Kaisen series, her first appearance was during Jujutsu Kaisen 0: the movie. She is a cursed spirit who later becomes a shikigami who remains with special-grade sorcerer Yuta Okkutsu.

The duo of Rika and Yuta Okkotsu defeated Suguru Geto, who is a  Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer.

There are even debates about who is stronger between Rika and Mahoraga, so that tells a lot. Rika can store cursed tools within her body, has endless cursed energy, adds to Yuta’s domain expansion, is powerful and durable, and can copy cursed techniques from opponents.

1. Mahoraga – Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General

Mahoraga is undoubtedly the strongest shikigami of all, and also the hardest to tame. There has never been a ten shadows user in all Jujutsu history who could tame Mahoraga. Although Megumi summoned Mahoraga during the Shibuya Incident arc, the shikigami acted completely on its own.

Mahoraga is so broken and destructive because of his ability to adapt to all cursed techniques, making him kind of immune to all.

Even when he gets hit with an ability or cursed technique, he uses positive energy to perform reversed cursed technique in order to heal itself instantly. Secondly, when Mahoraga adapts to an attack, the attack no longer works against him.

And apart from that, he is super strong and destructive and has the 2nd strongest cursed tool: Sword of Extermination.
