Talismans ( (じゅ) () Jufu?) are paper tags that can be imbued with cursed energy and cursed techniques. They are high-utility items in sorcery that are used by sorcerers for various purposes. Even non-sorcerers can make use of them. Talismans can serve as an intermediary for shikigami, sealing material for cursed objects, or aid in constructing specialized barriers, among other uses.[1]

Usage[]

Wrapping cursed objects in talismans is an old-fashioned method of sealing that degrades over time. The idea is to use a curse to contain a curse, but powerful cursed objects such as Ryomen Sukuna's fingers will eventually break down the seal and attract cursed spirits.[2] Jujutsu High uses this method in its holding chambers, where countless talismans cover the walls and hang from the ceiling.[3][4]

Cursed object sealed in talismans (Anime)

Talismans used as curse-sealing material.

Shikigami conjured using talismans as an intermediary appears from the cursed energy channeled through the tag.[5] During the Kyoto Sister-School Goodwill Event, talismans were placed on the curses so when they were exorcised, the corresponding talisman also disappeared. Using cursed energy they were able to make arrangements so any exorcisms made by Tokyo burned red and any by Kyoto burned blue.[6]

Shikigami user (Anime)

A talisman used as an intermediary for summoning shikigami.

Kenjaku used stakes wrapped in talismans imbued with barrier techniques to commission curtains with advanced customizations to less proficient barrier users.[7][8][9] These talismans are used in tandem with binding vows and as such, come with built-in weak points. These curtains can be deactivated if the stakes are broken[10] or if a time-limit is reached.[11][12]

Ino holding a comissioned curtain (Anime)

Talismans used as a method for comissioning curtains.

Juzo Kumiya was given one of these objects and activated it during the Goodwill Event, creating a barrier specifically made to repel Satoru Gojo at the cost of allowing everyone else to enter.[7][13] Several of Kenjaku's allies were entrusted with these talismans for the Shibuya Incident. He completed the terms of the commissioned curtains beforehand and was confident lesser barrier users would have no issue activating them with cursed energy and incantations.[14]

Ko-Guy, a simple-minded grasshopper curse, was tasked with guarding a talisman after it had been activated to create a barrier around Meiji-Jjingumae Station.[15] The curse users, Awasaka and Ogami, placed their commissioned curtains on the top of Shibuya Tower, the most obvious spot in the city, to increase the barrier's potency through a binding vow.[16] They had three stakes wrapped in talismans but destroying all of them only took down one curtain. Either all three were responsible for the one curtain or two of the three were decoys.[17]
