Jujutsu Kaisen
One Of The Very Few Cursed Womb: Death Painting
Kechizu’s Last Moments:
Another creepy-looking Cursed Womb: Death Painting who fought alongside Eso, and lost his life in the battle against Yuji and Nobara. The greenish monster strikes terror with its ghastly appearance; hollow eyes oozing blood, a massive mouth on its chest dripping blood, and a pronounced hump on its back, causing it to stoop forward.
Kechizu is the stuff of nightmares, certainly not someone you’d want to encounter in real life. Similar to Eso, this creature’s techniques revolve around decay and poisoning, manipulating blood in a horrific manner. While not specifically Blood Manipulation, it feels like a derivative technique in the same vein.
Overwhelmed Megumi Fushiguro
Haruta’s Last Moments:
In the eyes of many fans, Haruta ranks as one of the most detested characters in Jujutsu Kaisen, trailing just behind the notorious Mahito. His penchant for tormenting and senseless killings earned him this ire. Interestingly, when his own life hung in the balance, he was quick to flee, much like a mouse evading a cat. The moment of his demise provided immense satisfaction to many fans.
After a hair-raising battle between Sukuna and Mahoraga, Haruta found himself facing Sukuna. Surprisingly, the King of Curses spared him. Yet, few expected Sukuna to let such a despicable character off easy. As Haruta attempted to flee, Sukuna swiftly ended his life by slicing his face in two, putting an abrupt end to Haruta’s existence.
Almost Defeated Nanami, Maki, And Naobito
Dagon’s Last Moments:
Dagon stood out among the prominent Curses involved in the plot to seal Gojo Satoru. Alongside Mahito, Kenjaku, Jogo, and others, he played a significant role. Born from the fear of water-based disasters, Dagon’s Cursed Womb form exuded an alluring and cute appearance, yet his true form was a horrifying sight, a mutated octopus-like entity.
His aquatic powers matched with his unsettling appearance, posed a challenge even for elite Sorcerers like Nanami, Naobito, and Maki. However, Toji intervened at the right moment, sealing Dagon’s fate within his own domain, and putting an end to the formidable Curse’s existence.
Eso’s Last Moments:
Eso played a major role as a primary antagonist during the Death Painting Arc in the first season. Alongside his younger brother, Kechizu, they posed a formidable threat to Yuji and Nobara. Eso’s arsenal of lethal techniques, centered around poisoning and decay, nearly claimed Nobara’s life. However, Yuji and Nobara survived the relentless onslaught from the Death Painting brothers.

The intense battle culminated in the demise of both Eso and Kechizu. Their defeat brought a sense of relief, knowing Yuji and Nobara emerged unscathed. Yet, there was a sense of absence without Eso’s unique dynamic, adding a particular spice to the series that was missed by many.
11Yu Haibara
Best Friend Of Kento Nanami
Yu Haibara’s Last Moments:
Yu Haibara held a special place as Nanami’s cherished friend. Someone being on the favorite list of someone stoic like Nanami, you can well imagine how endearing this character was. But sadly, Haibara didn’t get much time in the limelight. Together with Nanami, Yu went on a deadly mission, which was supposed to be a simple one.
Despite not being able to match the intensity of Birth Diety, Yu fought bravely but met his demise. He was one of the major reasons why Geto had a change of mind, and he shifted towards the dark path. Nanami, as always, kept his emotions to himself, but Yu’s death had a profound impact on him as well.
Gojo Praised Hanami For Their Powers
Hanami’s Last Moments:
Debuting in the fifth episode of Jujutsu Kaisen’s first season, Hanami emerged as one of the mightiest Curses. Their abilities centered on plants and earth, a result of human meddling with nature. Hanami’s very presence struck fear, and their command over techniques was unmatched.
With a repertoire ranging from menacing assaults like Disaster Plants, Roots, and Ceremonial Sea of Light to visually captivating moves like Flower Field, Hanami wielded a diverse array of powers. However, it wasGojo and his incomparable abilitiesthat diminished Hanami’s threat, effortlessly overpowering and instantly vanquishing the formidable Curse.
9Riko Amanai
Riko Was A Star Plasma Vessel
Riko Amanai’s Last Moments:
Riko played a pivotal role in the Gojo Pat Arc, holding a crucial position at the Jujutsu headquarters. As the Star Plasma Vessel, her duty was integral; she needed to merge with Tengen to ensure their survival. This made her a prized asset for the Sorcerers and a target for the Time Religious Group, who hired Toji Fushiguro to eliminate her once and for all.
They say death comes for everyone, and despite the protection of the elite Sorcerers like Gojo and Geto, Riko fell into Toji Fushiguro’s clutches. Tragically, a bullet claimed her life, robbing a young and vibrant soul from the world. It’s a stark reminder of the unforgiving nature of Jujutsu Kaisen’s narrative.
8Naobito Zenin
Naobito Zenin’s Last Moments:
Naobito belonged to the Zenin clan, a prestigious family in the Jujutsu Kaisen world. As the 26th clan head, he was a fierce warrior and a Special Grade Sorcerer. However, his strength couldn’t withstand the ferocity of Jogo. Following an exhausting battle with Dagon alongside Maki, Nanami, and Naobito, they emerged from Dagon’s Domain Expansion only to confront Jogo’s devastating Disaster Flames, which engulfed Naobito entirely.

Though he didn’t perish instantly, Naobito succumbed to his injuries shortly after returning home. Perhaps in a fair fight, Naobito would have triumphed over Jogo. Sadly, Jogo exploited an opportunity from behind, denying Naobito any chance to retaliate or defend himself.
7Kokichi Muta
Fought At Par With Mahito
Kokichi Muta’s Last Moments:
The Heavenly Restriction left Kokichi Muta’s body ravaged- losing an arm, rendered legs useless, wrapped in bandages, yet gifted with an overwhelming amount of Cursed Energy. However, Kokichi yearned for a normal, healthy life. To achieve this, he made a desperate move,sharing critical information about the Jujutsu headquarterswith Mahito and Kenjaku in exchange for a healthy body through Idle Transfiguration by Mahito.
But Kokichi wasn’t against the Sorcerers. When Mahito normalized his body, Kokichi immediately confronted him with his Puppet Manipulation technique. Despite fighting fiercely, he proved no match for Mahito and tragically met his end at Mahito’s hands.
6Toji Fushiguro
Almost Killed Gojo
Toji Fushiguro’s Last Moments:
Toji was a force of nature, a tempest even Gojo struggled to contain initially. Stripped of Cursed Energy but empowered by the Heavenly Restriction, Toji Fushiguro was unmatched. His incredible physicality and sheer strength overwhelmed most Sorcerers, including Gojo, who faced a brutal onslaught from Toji.
However, Gojo returned, better prepared to confront Toji. Employing the devastatingHollow Purple Technique, he obliterated the left side of Toji’s body. Yet, Toji resurfaced afterGranny Ogami revived him. In a poignant turn,he chose to end his own life, saving his son Megumi from his lethal instincts.
