Jujutsu Sorcerers (呪術師 Jujutsu-shi?, lit. "Shamans") are individuals trained and employed by Jujutsu High to defend humanity from Cursed Spirits.
Overview
Jujutsu Sorcerers are users of Jujutsu Sorcery aligned with Jujutsu High. They generally possess Cursed Energy, but even those without the innate ability to do so can become a Jujutsu Sorcerer. All official Jujutsu Sorcerers are trained and registered through Jujutsu High.
Members of the "Jujutsu Higher-Ups" are apparently in charge of Jujutsu High and by extension all the Jujutsu Sorcerers.
Stereotypes
There are several negative stigmas are attached to the Jujutsu Sorcerer moniker. Many people believe that Jujutsu Sorcerers are crazy and that is a requirement for the job, as people who can't handle grotesque things quickly give up on being Jujutsu Sorcerers.
It is also said that many Jujutsu Sorcerers have detached themselves from normal life, making it difficult for them to have sympathy for others, which in turn makes themselves miserable. Especially when it comes to the Great Jujutsu Sorcerer Clans, where traditional values are more emphasized than a normal family dynamic.
Duties
- Exorcisms: A Jujutsu Sorcerer's primary task is the exorcism of all Cursed Spirits. Sorcerers are normally sent out in teams on missions to exorcise any Cursed Spirits that have been recently active.
- Sukuna Suppression: Jujutsu Sorcerers collect Sukuna's Fingers as a means to prevent him from reviving.
Training
Jujutsu High School: The vast majority of Jujutsu Sorcerers are current or former students of Jujutsu High School. It is an educational institution dedicated to the education and training of Jujutsu Sorcerers.
Ranks
Jujutsu High has put in place a power scaling system that ranks Jujutsu Sorcerers, Curse Users, Cursed Spirits, Cursed Tools, and Cursed Objects on the same scale from Grade 4 to Special Grade. These ranking correspond so that Jujutsu Sorcerers will be sent on missions to deal with Cursed Spirits on their same level of ability.
Jujutsu Sorcerers can be promoted by receiving a recommendation for someone with their desired higher-level. However, they cannot be recommended by their teachers.
Jujutsu Sorcerer Levels
Grade 4 is the lowest of all ranks. If traditional weapons were used against curses, Grade 4 Cursed Spirits would be easy work with a wooden bat.
Grade 3 is the second-lowest level of the power scaling system. If traditional weapons were used against curses, a pistol should be enough to kill Grade 3 Cursed Spirits.
Semi-Grade 2 is the first of two "Quasi" Ranks. Semi-Grade 2 is close to Grade 2 in terms of strength but is not considered as high as the standard Grade 2 ranking.
Grade 2 is the middle rank of the power scaling system and is considered the average level of Jujutsu Sorcerers. If traditional weapons were used against curses, using a shotgun would be cutting it close.
Semi-Grade 1 is the second of the "Quasi" ranks. It should be noted that from this point on, the difference in power is far great between ranks than it was on previous levels. Semi-Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer's are far stronger than Grade 2, but still a far cry from Grade 1.
Grade 1 Sorcerers are second only to Special Grade and are considered the upper class of Jujutsu Sorcerers. Grade 1 Jujutsu Shaman are considered to be the top brass fit to lead Jujutsu Society.
If traditional weapons were used against curses, even a tank might be useless against a Grade 1 Cursed Spirit
Special Grade
Special Grade is currently the highest possible ranking. Special Grade Cursed Spirits and Sorcerers possess immense Cursed Energy as well as uncanny and mysterious abilities. In 2017, there were only four registered Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerers and sixteen Special Grade Cursed Spirits.
If traditional weapons were used against curses, it would take carpeting explosives such as a cluster bomb to Special Grade Cursed Spirits.
In recent times, Cursed Spirits have begun to surpass the Special Grade ranking. The Cursed Womb Spirit was considered to be a special grade, but its power paled in comparison to Sukuna, who is also considered Special Grade. Special Grade Sorcerer Satoru Gojo believes both Humans and Cursed Spirits will soon supersede even the Special Grade ranking.
