Cursed Techniques ( (じゅつ) (しき) Jutsushiki?) are abilities fueled by cursed energy.[1] Different types include innate techniques, barrier techniques, shikigami, new shadow style, and more.[2]

Technique Activation

A cursed technique is activated through the act of pouring cursed energy into it, utilizing one of two processes; Lapse or Reversal.[1] If cursed energy is comparable to electricity, cursed techniques are the appliances that use that power to function.[3] Cursed energy is processed through a procedure akin to a mathematic formula within the user to activate a cursed technique.[2]

Lapse

Lapse (順転 Junten?, lit. "Forward Rotation") refers to the basic, default, or neutral state of activation for a cursed technique. To activate a cursed technique through lapse, the caster circulates their cursed energy in a forward direction to channel it into their ability.[1]

Note: The Cursed Technique Lapse of the Limitless is a reinforced version of its Lapse that's activated when the technique is used to strengthen cursed energy.[1]

Reversal

Reversal (反転 Hanten?, lit. "Reverse Rotation") produces positive energy by multiplying negative energy with negative energy. Negative energy isn't suitable for recovering but positive energy can heal physical injuries. However, it requires highly sophisticated manipulation of cursed energy to achieve, so the ability to do so is rare.[1][4][2]

Subtraction

"To excel at jujutsu is to excel at subtraction."

Cursed techniques often require hand signs ( (しゅぅ) (いん) Shōin?), empowered words ( (じゅ) () Jushi?), or other gestures to activate. A sorcerer's skill is determined by the degree to which they can minimize and omit these components to make their abilities more efficient. Conversely, the purposeful inclusion of incantations or rituals can elevate a cursed technique's effectiveness.[5]

Innate Techniques

Innate Techniques ( (しょう) (とく) (じゅつ) (しき) Shōtoku Jutsushiki?) are unique abilities congenitally engraved into the user's body, specifically in the right prefrontal cortex of the brain.[6] Most jujutsu sorcerers are born with an innate technique that manifests around the age of five or six, which continually carves its formula into the user over time.

Innate techniques are proprietary and comprise eighty percent of a sorcerer's intrinsic skillset, making them nearly impossible to mimic, not unlike a copyrighted computer program.[7] When an individual refers to their own personal cursed technique, they're generally talking about their innate technique.[8][2]

In almost all cases, an individual possesses only a single innate technique. In especially rare cases, someone may possess more than one. Kenjaku, who can switch bodies, has access to the technique carved into the body of his vessel. However, even can only possibly possess a maximum of three to four innate techniques at one time. Yuta Okkotsu can only utilize numerous techniques because Rika serves as his external aid. Otherwise, too many innate techniques will overload the user's brain.[9]

Inherited Techniques

Inherited Techniques ( (そう) (でん) (じゅつ) (しき) Sōden Jutsushiki?) are innate techniques passed down to sorcerers in the same bloodline. While sorcerers who don't come from prominent clans can inherit innate techniques, e.g. Straw Doll Technique, those obtained hereditarily from the ancestors of the Big Three Families especially carry the title of inherited technique, e.g. Limitless. The Big Three Families have maintained their authority and prestige by passing down powerful techniques to their descendants. Therefore, a sorcerer with an inherited technique is guaranteed an important position in the family.[1][64]

Inherited Technique users have the advantage of being equipped with a manual on how to use them. However, passing down a technique through generations also presents the issue of other groups learning how the ability works, along with its shortcomings.[65]

The "Cursed Speech" of the Inumaki Family infuses spoken words with cursed energy to increase the spirit of the words, forcibly compelling anyone who hears to follow his commands.

Naobito using Projection Sorcery (Anime) Zenin Family

"Projection Sorcery" divides one second into twenty-four frames and allows the user to trace a predetermined course. Anything touched by the user's palm must also abide by the 24 FPS rule or they will be frozen for one second inside an animation frame, leaving them completely vulnerable to attack.[71]


Non-Inherited Techniques

While the formula for hereditary innate techniques is only accessible to members of their respective clan who inherited the engraving, innate techniques often manifest naturally within sorcerers regardless of their heritage. Suguru Geto, Kento Nanami, and Aoi Todo all possess innate techniques despite being born to non-sorcerer families.

Extension Techniques

Extension Techniques ( (かく) (ちょぅ) (じゅつ) (しき) Kakuchō Jutsushiki?) are original abilities derived from innate techniques. Innate techniques cannot be changed or altered, but they can be trained and expanded on through creativity to maximize their applications into extension techniques. E.g. Collapse is a more powerful application of Kento Nanami's Ratio Technique.[72] In the case of inherited techniques, sorcerers pass down the original moves that they create. E.g. Blue and Red of the Limitless.[1][73][74]

Extension Technique Parent Technique Description

Non-Innate Techniques

Cursed techniques that aren't considered innate techniques are ubiquitous skills that anyone with enough cursed energy can learn to use with enough training. However, the aptitude for learning them differs from person to person. These include barriers techniques, shikigami jutsu, and new shadow style among other techniques.[2][123]

Barrier Techniques

Barrier Techniques ( (けっ) (かい) (じゅつ) Kekkai Jutsu?) are cursed techniques that employ barrier zones to trap entities within a space or to prevent them from entering one. Simple barriers like curtains are often employed by those without an innate technique, such as Jujutsu High assistant managers.[124][125]

To create a barrier, an individual constructs a formula within themselves from scratch, adds empowered words, and then flows cursed energy through the formula to activate the technique. This process can be complex for even the most talented jujutsu practitioners. Many strong sorcerers with innate techniques can't perform barrier techniques.[126] E.g. creating a barrier is simple enough, but making it so only certain people can exit requires advanced skills.[127]

Barrier Techniques Name Description
Kiyotaka Ijichi employing a barrier for Satoru Simple Barrier Barriers are used to conceal, contain, or deny entry to others within that space. Anyone with enough cursed energy is capable of learning to deploy a barrier.
Curtain (Anime) Curtain Curtains are vast, simple barriers with a spherical shell that conceal jujutsu activity from non-sorcerers and force cursed spirits to reveal themselves within the specified space.[128][129]
Coffin of the Iron Mountain (Anime) Domain Expansion An innate domain manifested using cursed energy inside a barrier imbued with the user's innate technique. Expanding one's domain improves their abilities and ensures that all techniques employed within the barrier are guaranteed to hit their target.[130][131]
Choso inside an empty barrier Empty Barrier Vacant zones where the edge is defined by an outer shell made of hexagon-shaped panels. The structure of the area be freely altered by a skilled barrier technique user. Kenjaku converted one into a movie theater to show Choso his plan. Tengen created numerous empty barriers above the Tombs of the Star Corridor and could freely peel open a barrier or erase it completely if necessary.[132]
Tengen's pure barriers Pure Barrier A superior version of a barrier. Tengen created many of them across Japan that raise the precision of their cursed spirit suppression as well as barrier techniques cast by Jujutsu High assistant managers. Four of them; the Imperial Palace, the Tombs of the Star, the Yamakuni Mausoleum, and Mt. Hida, are crucial to the jujutsu world.[133]
NoPicAvailable Bon Barrier An even more superior barrier to pure barriers. Using Tengen's existing pure barriers as a foundation, Kenjaku created a bon barrier to host the Culling Game.[134]


Anti-Domain Techniques

Anti-Domain Techniques ( (たい) (りょう) (いき) (すべ) Tairyōiki no Sube?) are countermeasures designed to withstand the can't-miss attack of opposing domain expansions. They are mainly designed for those who cannot expand their own domain for any reason.

Secret Arts (秘伝 Hiden?) are unique anti-domain techniques passed down in the Big Three Sorcerer Families. Having existed for millennia, the Big Three Families have accumulated many secret skills for dealing with cursed spirits and curse users.

Anti-Domain Technique Name Description
Hollow Wicker Basket Esoteric Technique:
Hollow Wicker Basket
The predecessor to simple domain that erects a spherical barrier that takes the appearance of a woven basket surrounding the caster. The technique neutralizes an expanded domain's barrier to nullify its can't-miss attack.[135]
Kasumi prepares her Simple Domain (Anime) New Shadow Style:
Simple Domain

Developed by Sadatsuna Ashiya during the Heian Era as the "domain for the weak". It expands a small, domain on the ground around the user to open a hole in an opposing domain, neutralizing the can't-miss attack by targeting the domain's barrier.[136]

Falling Blossom Emotion (Anime) Secret Art:
Falling Blossom Emotion
A secret domain countermeasure passed down in the Big Three Sorcerer Families. Rather than expanding a domain, Falling Blossom Emotion counterattacks with cursed energy the moment a domain's can't-miss attack makes contact.[137]
Jogo and Hanami using Domain Amplification (Anime) Domain Amplification Envelops the user's body in a thin veil of their domain and automatically nullifies any cursed technique it comes into contact with. A caster cannot use domain amplification and their innate technique at the same time.[138][139][140]


Shikigami Jutsu

Shikigami Jutsu ( (しき) (がみ) (じゅつ) ?)[141] conjures shikigami to aid the user using a variety of methods. Simple shikigami can be summoned by any capable sorcerer, but some innate techniques revolve around a summoning shikigami as well, such is the case with Moon Dregs.

Trivia
