Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 261 has confirmed Ryomen Sukuna as the “strongest sorcerer in history,” a title that has been justified by his actions and abilities showcased throughout the series. Beyond Gojo Satoru, Sukuna stands unmatched in numerous aspects, highlighting his supremacy in sorcerers.
Sukuna’s dominance is evident through his extraordinary raw power and mastery of Jujutsu. His combat intelligence is remarkably sharp, and he proficiently utilizes the Reverse Cursed Technique. Equipped with destructive techniques, Sukuna’s prowess is further amplified by gaining access to Megumi’s body and potentially the most powerful technique in the Ten Shadows.
Sukuna’s Power in Jujutsu Kaisen Officially Declared Unmatched in Sorcerer History
In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 261, Yuta Okkotsu explicitly calls Sukuna the “strongest sorcerer in history” during a crucial discussion among the Jujutsu High sorcerers about contingency plans if Gojo were to be defeated.
Yuta proposes a risky plan involving Rika consuming Kenjaku’s body, allowing Yuta to use his body-swapping technique to transfer himself into Gojo’s body to continue the fight.

However, the plan’s immense risk, as explained by Mei Mei, causes disagreement among his comrades, particularly Maki and Kusakabe. This prompts Yuta to assert that they are dealing with “the strongest sorcerer in history” and must abandon their humanity to become monsters if they hope to win.
Throughout the series, Sukuna’s actions have solidified his status as the strongest. From the Heian Era, his name alone instilled fear across the land. He lived unrestrained, doing as he pleased and remaining undefeated even in death. His immense power was divided into 20 fingers, which were indestructible and had to be sealed away as Special Grade Cursed Objects. Despite being limited in power when manifesting within Yuji, Sukuna easily defeated Curses with a single hit and even vanquished Mahoraga in a violent battle that devastated Shibuya.
Upon taking over Megumi Fushiguro’s body, Sukuna regained his full strength and effortlessly dispatched all his opponents. Yorozu and Ishigori were no match for him, and only Gojo Satoru pushed him to his limits. Despite this, Sukuna ultimately triumphed, revealing his true demonic form with four arms, four eyes, and an extra mouth. With Gojo gone, none of the Jujutsu High sorcerers posed much of a challenge to him. Currently, Yuji appears to be the only one capable of standing his ground against Sukuna.
Sukuna’s physical attributes give him a significant advantage in battle. His extra mouth aids in chanting, while additional arms allow him to fight and form hand signs for his techniques. His control over Jujutsu has been flawless on numerous occasions. The Binding Vow he formed with Yuji was a strategic move that enabled him to take over Megumi’s body. Moreover, the various Binding Vows he has made during his current fight have allowed him to maintain a high level of performance despite the damage he has sustained.
After taking over Megumi, Sukuna’s access to the Ten Shadows Technique makes him even more formidable. Although it seems he cannot use it at the moment, it is possible that he is saving it for later. Regardless, his Domain is considered one of the most powerful due to its barrier-less nature and ability to expand.
The acknowledgment of Sukuna as the most powerful sorcerer in the latest chapter underscores his dominance in the series. Throughout the story, he has proven to be the toughest adversary, always finding a way to counter whatever is thrown at him. This has rightfully earned him the title “The King of Curses.”
Chapter 261 of Jujutsu Kaisen has left fans stunned, especially those hoping for Gojo’s emphatic return. While they understand the drastic measures Yuta has had to take, many are displeased with the turn of events. The chapter has not only confirmed Sukuna’s unparalleled strength but also highlighted the challenges and risks that the Jujutsu High sorcerers must face to overcome him.
