In the world ofJujutsu Kaisen,the history of sorcerers and curse users has been around for a long time. Though they are powerful, sorcerers aren’t invincible, and as evidence, many have fallen in battle. In the modern era, only a select few have the ability to use these powers, but in ancient times, they were quite common, and most users had world-shattering powers. Sincethe Heian era, a steep decline in curse users has taken a toll on the world for several centuries, reducing those numbers significantly.
With the lack of Jujutsu sorcerers around the world and an increase in cursed activity, the world was set for turmoil soon. That was until balance was shifted with the birth of Satoru Gojo, one of the most powerful Jujutsu sorcerers to ever live. As strong as he may be, there were ancient sorcerers from back in the day that took part in theCulling Game Arc, that could give anyone they face a run for their money.
What are Ancient Sorcerers?
Before The Present Timeline, These Powerful Sorcerers Ruled The World
Ancient Sorcerers are exactly what the name would indicate. Sorcerers from centuries ago who were once the most powerful curse users of the time, some of whom are now spoken about as legends. Others remain a part oftheJujutsu Kaisenworld, and have become either the strongest allies or the most dangerous threats to humanity.
In order to preserve their powers and use them for evil, Kenjaku reincarnated many ancient sorcerers into cursed objects, effectively turning them intoReincarnated Sorcerers. Once the cursed object takes possession of a vessel, the sorcerer will once again roam the world. In Sukuna’s case, Itadori has proven that not all vessels are willing to give up their lives without a fight.
What Do You Think You Are Doing With My Body? Give It Back.
Kenjaku himself is an ancient sorcerer that is capable of taking control of the body of any sorcerer. In its current form, Kenjaku is in possession of Geto’s body, a very powerful sorcerer and friend of Gojo. Parasitic ancient sorcerers, such as Kenjaku and Angel, have the ability to possess a body and take control of their powers, using them for any purpose that fulfills their objectives.
Notable Ancient Sorcerers In Jujutsu Kaisen
These Remarkable Sorcerers Were (And Still Are) A Cut Above The Rest
While the Culling Games Arc introduces a number of ancient sorcerers to the already existing roster, not all have the power of some ofthe strongest inJujutsu Kaisen’s past. More so,there are some that still remain in the present, tormenting those that dare attempt to stop them, while threatening acts of pure violence and evil.
The Role of Ancient Sorcerers in the Story
What To Expect From The Most Powerful Curse Users In History
Kenjaku is a prominent driving force towards the Culling Games Arc. After locking away Gojo, he spreads fear and destruction, and is the reason why Mahito is able to escape death at the hands of Itadori. Following these events,Kenjaku announces a battle royale tournament, pitting 1000 sorcerers and curse users against one another, with the purpose of determining one winner.
The violent tournament is deemed one of the biggest acts of Jujutsu terrorism in history, and leaves Gojo in the uncomfortable position of having to show the world why he is the true Strongest, if he’s freed, of course. Kenjaku and Sukuna aren’t the onlyancient sorcerers that appear in the Culling Game, as many others make their return. Their presence alone leads to many intense battles during the Culling Games, and sparks some of the greatest moments inJujutsu Kaisen.
The highly-anticipated arc has yet to be featured in the anime,butJujutsu Kaisenfans aren’t too far away from the tournament of death. Itadori and Megumi will take on countless battles with incredibly powerful foes, and Gojo will eventually make his return to take on Sukuna.
