Cursed Humans (呪者,Jusha?) are people who have been afflicted with a curse. This includes those who have been killed by a curse or those still living while being haunted by a cursed spirit.
Non-sorcerers cursed by a spirit or a jujutsu user are known as Cursed Humans. They may undergo unexplainable symptoms like changes in dreams or an unshakeable weight. In life-threatening situations, they might even see the curse. Some curses can possess objects, turning them into cursed corpses, and certain ones can mark and haunt a human.

Can a non-sorcerer become a cursed human?
Non-sorcerers can indeed transform into cursed humans. This transformation typically happens when they are cursed by a cursed spirit or a curse user employing jujutsu. Non-sorcerers, driven by negative emotions like grief and anger, continually emit cursed energy, which contributes to the birth of cursed spirits. If cursed, these individuals may notice unusual symptoms impacting their body, especially if they are unable to perceive the curse.

How does a curse affect the body of a cursed human?
Cursed humans, typically non-sorcerers, experience unexplainable symptoms due to the curse. These may include changes in dreams or an inexplicable weightiness. The curse, originating from a cursed spirit or a jujutsu-using curse user, is invisible to the cursed individual. Exorcising the curse requires another curse or cursed energy.

What is the difference between a cursed human and a cursed spirit?
A cursed human is an individual afflicted by a curse, whereas a cursed spirit is a curse manifested posthumously, often due to a curse at the time of death. Cursed spirits can inhabit objects, form structured groups, and engage in dialogue. Some, called shikigami, can be subdued by their masters. Conversely, a cursed human is a living individual suffering from a curse's effects or attacks.
Cursed Humans are generally non-sorcerers who have been cursed, whether it be by a cursed spirit or a curse user using jujutsu.
Non-sorcerers who have been cursed and can't see the curse will notice strange unexplainable symptoms that are affecting their body. For example, a curse can alter someone's dreams or hold onto their body, creating an uncomfortable weight they can't get rid of. Suguru Geto founded a religious organization dedicated to attracting these kinds of victims. It allowed Suguru to collect cursed spirits from them while appearing to alleviate symptoms as a spiritual priest.[1]
Yuta's overwhelming presence as someone whose been cursed.
When multiple humans are killed by curses under paranormal circumstances, the news often reaches Jujutsu High. Sorcerers are sent to investigate and evaluate the curse's strength. Its grade level can increase depending on the number of Cursed Humans involved.[2]
In Yuta Okkotsu's unique case, it was initially believed he was cursed by his childhood friend turned vengeful cursed spirit Rika Orimoto. Due to her immense power, he was registered as a Special Grade Cursed Human. Maki Zenin pointed out to him that Tokyo Jujutsu High is a place to learn to exorcise curses, not somewhere for people who are cursed. However, Satoru Gojo believed Yuta could use Rika's power to exorcise other curses, since she protects him rather than harms him.[3]
