Cursed Techniques (術式, 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 (掌印, Shōin?), empowered words (呪詞, 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 (生得術式, 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 he 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]
One of the factors that also determines how an innate technique manifests is the mindset of the user. Even if two sorcerers possess the same innate technique, the difference between the user's mentality and even the era they are born in slightly modifies the way the technique is expressed.[10]

Inherited Techniques
Inherited Techniques (相伝術式, 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][74]
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.[75]
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 (拡張術式, 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. For example, Collapse is a more powerful application of Kento Nanami's Ratio Technique.[82] In the case of inherited techniques, sorcerers pass down the original moves that they create such as Blue and Red of the Limitless.[1][83][84]

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][133]
Barrier Techniques
Barrier Techniques (結界術, 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.[134][135]
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.[136] E.g. creating a barrier is simple enough, but making it so only certain people can exit requires advanced skills.[137]
| Barrier Techniques
|
Name
|
Description
|
|
|
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 |
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.[138][139]
|
|
|
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.[140][141]
|
|
|
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.[142]
|
|
|
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.[143]
|
|
|
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.[144]
|
Anti-Domain Techniques
Anti-Domain Techniques (対領域の術, 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.

Description
|
|
|
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.[145]
|
|
|
New Shadow Style:
Simple Domain |
Developed by Sadatsuna Ashiya during the Heian Era as the "domain for the weak". It expands a small domain and neutralizes an enemy's can't-miss attack by targeting their domain's barrier.[146]
|
|
|
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.[147]
|
|
|
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.[148][149][150]
|
Shikigami Jutsu
Shikigami Jutsu (式神術, Shikigami Jutsu?)[151] 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 summoning a shikigami as well, such is the case with Moon Dregs and Ten Shadows Technique.

- Translation Note: There are several words meaning "Technique" in Japanese, such as "Jutsu" (術, "Jutsu"?). In Jujutsu Kaisen, "Jujutsu" (呪術, Sorcery?) and "Jutsushiki" (術式, Cursed Techniques?) are compound words invented by Gege Akutami.
