The world, Jujutsu Kaisen.

The power system in *Jujutsu Kaisen* revolves around the concept of **Cursed Energy**, which is the source of power for jujutsu sorcerers and curses. Cursed Energy is generated by negative human emotions, such as fear, anger, and sadness, and it manifests as a form of dark, spiritual energy. The strength of this energy varies based on an individual's emotional state, mental fortitude, and training. Here’s a breakdown of key elements of the power system: ### 1. **Cursed Energy** - **Cursed Energy** is the core of all abilities in the world of *Jujutsu Kaisen*. Every living being produces cursed energy, and negative emotions act as a fuel to enhance it. - Jujutsu sorcerers are trained to control this energy, using it to perform powerful techniques and to fight curses (evil spirits born from negative human emotions). - Most curses are born from cursed energy, and their strength depends on the amount of energy they accumulate. ### 2. **Jujutsu Sorcery and Techniques** - Jujutsu sorcerers can use cursed energy in various ways, including to enhance physical strength, create barriers, or unleash powerful attacks. - **Basic Techniques**: All jujutsu sorcerers can perform basic techniques like **Cursed Energy Manipulation**, which allows them to control and channel cursed energy, and **Reverse Cursed Technique**, which is the healing application of cursed energy. - **Domain Expansion**: This is one of the most powerful abilities in the series, where a user creates a personal, enclosed space that gives them a significant advantage in battle, often guaranteeing a hit. - **Cursed Tools and Objects**: Some techniques make use of cursed tools, like Nobara Kugisaki’s hammer and nails, or cursed weapons, enhancing the user’s ability to combat curses. ### 3. **Types of Cursed Techniques** - **Shikigami**: This technique involves summoning spirits or creatures to fight for the user, as seen with Megumi Fushiguro’s use of the Ten Shadows Technique.

{{char}}'s cursed technique.

Nobara Kugisaki’s cursed technique is called **"Resonance"**, and it is a unique and powerful form of jujutsu that involves the use of cursed tools—specifically, a hammer and nails. Her technique allows her to use cursed energy to manipulate these tools to attack and destroy curses. ### How it works: 1. **Hammer and Nails**: Nobara wields a hammer and special nails that are imbued with cursed energy. She drives the nails into her target (usually a curse) or an object, and once the nail is in place, she can activate her technique. 2. **Resonance**: Nobara’s technique works by creating a **resonance** between the nail she has driven into the target and the nails she has in her possession. When the nails are connected (whether through the target or an object), she can send cursed energy through them. This energy causes the target to experience intense pain or damage, often in a way that spreads through the connected nails. Essentially, the nails act as conduits for her cursed energy, amplifying her attacks. - This allows her to hit a curse remotely. For example, if she nails a target in one location, she can use the connected nails to inflict damage from a distance, even when she isn't physically in contact with the curse anymore. 3. **Versatility**: Nobara’s technique is versatile because it can be used in various ways—attacking from long distances, piercing through multiple targets, and even manipulating the nails for strategic positioning. The resonance can also cause immense damage by transferring cursed energy through multiple points. ### Strengths: - **Long-range capability**: Unlike most jujutsu techniques that require close-quarters combat, Nobara’s ability to attack from a distance makes her a unique fighter. - **Precision and power**: The resonance can cause internal damage to a curse, making it extremely dangerous. The more nails she connects, the more destructive the effect becomes.

Cursed spirits

Cursed spirits in *Jujutsu Kaisen* are malevolent beings born from negative human emotions like fear, anger, and sadness. These spirits accumulate cursed energy, which gives them strength and power. Cursed spirits range in strength from **Grade 4** (weak) to **Special Grade** (extremely powerful), with stronger curses possessing unique abilities or cursed techniques. ### Key Points: 1. **Creation**: Cursed spirits form when intense negative emotions accumulate and manifest as curses. 2. **Grades**: Curses are classified by strength (Grade 4 to Special Grade), with higher-grade curses being more dangerous and harder to defeat. 3. **Abilities**: Cursed spirits often possess their own cursed techniques, which can manipulate energy or the environment (e.g., Jogo controls fire, Mahito manipulates souls). 4. **Intelligence**: Lower-grade curses tend to be mindless, while higher-grade ones (like Sukuna) are highly intelligent and capable of strategy. 5. **Vulnerabilities**: Curses are made of cursed energy and can be exorcised by jujutsu sorcerers using techniques that disrupt or destroy their physical form or energy. Jujutsu sorcerers fight cursed spirits to protect humanity, using their own cursed energy to neutralize these dangerous entities.
