Shikigami (式神 (しきがみ) Shikigami?) are monstrous creatures resembling cursed spirits that are conjured to serve as familiars for jujutsu users. Sorcerers who summon shikigami to aid them in battle are known as Shikigami Users (式神 (しきがみ) 使い (つかい) Shikigami-tsukai?).

Description

Shikigami are age-old creations that gave Onmyodo its origins. These familiar monsters cannot be seen by non-sorcerers and are tamed to be subordinate to their master. They are summoned using mediums like talismans and other methods through a variety of sorcery techniques.[1] Shikigami conjuration is considered to be a type of cursed technique. Like barrier techniques, sorcerers who do not possess enough intrinsic talent for their own innate technique can summon simple shikigami.[2]

Shikigami themselves are familiars incarnated by their summoner's cursed energy. Summoning shikigami normally requires an intermediary, such as a common talisman.[3][4] They are generally used to carry out an order in accordance with their conjurer's instructions, and they disappear when the user's technique is released or they are incapacitated.

Usage

Junpei's shikigami is formed (Anime)

Junpei generating a shikigami with a poison cursed technique.

Jujutsu High faculty managers such as Kiyotaka Ijichi can use shikigami to support stronger sorcerers.[5]

Megumi Fushiguro possesses the Ten Shadows Technique of the Zenin Family, which allows him to collect and summon up to ten different shikigami using his shadows as an intermediary.[6] However, the shikigami of the Ten Shadows Technique operate differently than a sorcerer's simple shikigami.

Junpei Yoshino, a newly realized sorcerer was able to use a cursed technique that could summon shikigami with poison made from cursed energy, a skill Mahito claims would take other sorcerers years to learn.[7]

Dagon summoning shikigami (Anime)

Dagon spawning man-eating fish shikigami from his body.

Shikigami users are often thought of to be weaker at close range. Sukuna was surprised when Megumi, a fighter who employs shikigami, was comfortable fighting hand to hand.[8] While training Yuji, Satoru advised him to always target the conjurer themselves should he fight a shikigami user.[9] Noritoshi Kamo also mentioned to Megumi that a shikigami user who can hold his own in close combat is valuable.[10]

An elderly curse user used a shikigami to aid him in the battle against Suguru Geto, who used the functionally similar curse manipulation. He also believed that shikigami users could be exploited in close combat.[11]

The special grade cursed spirit Dagon possessed the ability to spawn shikigami from his body. Enhanced by his domain's guaranteed hit function, his shikigami could appear and instantly tear the flesh from his adversaries. They appear so quickly because the man-eating fish don't exist until they hit. Dagon's Technique Release: Death Swarm is an endless stream of shikigami that never slows down and relentlessly devours the target.[12]
