Jujutsu Kaisen, written and illustrated by Gege Akutami is an action-packed, supernatural manga series which got adapted into anime in October 2020 by Studio MAPPA. The story is quite interesting and easy to follow along with some amazingly strong characters. It is set in a world where Cursed Spirits, creatures that are brought about through negative emotions of humans and are strengthened by consuming magical powers present in sorcerers or cursed talismans. Its awesome fight scenes, the unique design of the characters and their powers is what makes the story a must watch for people who love a light hearted fantasy series with gruesome moments just enough to keep the reader/viewer on the edge of their seats. Great character designs means that fans will also get to witness some pretty cool versions of their favorite characters, brought to life by creative and hardworking cosplayers. I’ve made the task much easier for you as I went on an online quest to shortlist the Top 15 cosplays of Jujutsu Kaisen from all over the world. Sa~a hajimeyou!!

Mai Zenin, a 3rd grade Sorcerer with an attitude is an easy character to cosplay but not an easy person to deal with. Her constant rivalry and bickering with her sister, Maki Zenin, reflects her outright and aggressive personality, which is rumored to be influenced by her classmate Aoi’s crazy nature. This cosplayer didn’t fail to impress us with the level of accuracy of her outfit as well as the cute lil bob cut that distinguishes Mai from her younger sister, Maki. Not a lot of efforts were supposed to be put into this cosplay as Mai’s uniform design is quite basic, so I give her a 6 for presentation and efforts. Overall, the cosplayer did a pretty good job at impersonating Mai with that smirk, just like her other cosplays.

Suguru is a Special Grade Sorcerer and a former student of MasamichiYaga. Natalie has done a great job at imitating him with his long black tresses, and the scar running across his forehead. Even though Geto is an antagonist in the series, people still love him for his strength and his abilities to collect and control Cursed Spirits (Cursed Spirit Manipulation).Suguru was known to be one of the strongest sorcerers alongside Satoru Gojo, his former classmate (they called themselves the Strongest Duo) and has some strong beliefs/ideologies before he became a cursed user. Natalie’s cosplays are impeccable and quite accurate for which I give her an 8, though the overall effort in this particular cosplay isn’t how we might have expected. To see more of her amazing cosplays, visit her social media pages.

Cute lil Kasumi is a kind-hearted Second Year student at the Kyoto Metropolitan Curse Technical College, and the Ultimate Gojo Simp as we know it.Kasumi Miwa’s down-to-earth attitude and her love for Satoru Gojo (I mean who doesn’t love Gojo duh!) has made her a pretty relatable character for the viewers/readers. Zeal has also cosplayed other Jujutsu Kaisen characters such as Maki Zenin and Satoru Gojo but personally I prefer this one over the others. The costume looks well-suited and of good quality as well as the blue wig that she’s wearing. We can also see that the cosplayer put in an extra effort to dye her eyebrows the same color as Kasumi, so I give her a 9 for accuracy. I’d suggest you to visit her page and decide for yourself 😉

Up until now you guys must have seen lots of animals who imitate humans in terms of how they act and communicate. But our Panda is like none other since he’s actually an Abrupt Mutated Cursed Corpse (ps. The most advanced of his kind ;), created by the Principal of Masamichi Yaga. Panda is this v wholesome lil creature even though he’s a “Cursed Corpse”. The cosplay doesn’t really include Panda as it’s just a stuff toy but it surely does give off the similar cuddly vibes x) He’s also distinguishable from Meanwhile, Toge looks pretty close to the anime version for which the cosplayer deserves a 9. Platinum blonde hair, soft features and the seal of the Inumaki Clan, the “Snake and Fangs”, on both of his cheeks, and the purple contact lenses were some essential elements of Toge’s appearance that we got to see here.

Megumi Fushiguro, a descendant of the Zenin family, (the less edgy Sasuke lol) is a First Year student at the Tokyo Metropolitan Magic Technical College and classmate of Yuji Itadori and Nobara Kugisaki. He has a stoic and somewhat secretive personality and has his own set of “irrational” beliefs and desires. I like how the cosplayer chose this scene where he’s fighting off Sukuna outside the detention center. It was also one of those moments when he gave one of my favorite dialogues, “The only thing granted equally to all is an unfair reality.”
The quality of the costume doesn’t seem too great but the makeup and hair is perfect, thereby I give her a 9 for accuracy. The cosplayer is better known for their extra ordinary Boku No Hero Academia cosplays, especially Dabi aka Toya Todoroki and Toga Himiko. Check out her social media accounts for more such cosplays.

A former member of the Zenin family and an infamous assassin, Toji Fushiguro is a recurring character in the series. The title of his name does ring a few bells though, doesn’t it? Yup, this is Megumi’s dad, who in his lifetime garnered the name “Sorcerer Killer”. Although Toji is technically a non-curse user with no inherited powers from his clan, he was one of the most elite fighters in the Jujutsu world during his time. His innate mastery over the martial arts, supassing all the others in his path, enabled Toji to compete with the most dangerous and highly ranked Jujutsu practitioners this era had to offer. Apollo makes the cosplay seem a bit effortless with his calm and confident demeanor, similar to the character’s personality, though it may have required some time to put together the outfit along w the Cursed Tool. He has a number of really cool and fun Jujutsu Kaisen cosplays of other characters on his Instagram page. Go check them out asap !!

Well, here’s another Inumaki cosplay since I just couldn’t get enough of him. This one’s so flawless it seems as if Toge just popped out of the anime into real life. Lujiuerhei has some of the best cosplays I’ve seen, from Attack on Titan to Tokyo Ghoul and now Jujutsu Kaisen. He’s someone who really puts in the time and effort in his cosplays as we can see in the end result. Blonde hair, the seal of the Inumaki clan on his tongue as well both of his cheeks, and that zipped-up collar, which prevents him from having normal conversations, since he is a Cursed Speech user. It is a type of Cursed Technique that reinforces the user’s words, which in turn compels anyone listening to act or be acted upon based on those words. This technique is quite volatile in nature and quite dangerous for the user as well as the people around them. In order to avoid any mishaps, Cursed Speech users talk in code language (for e.g. Toge speaks only in terms of onigiri ingredients).

And finally it’s time for my favorite character, *drum rolls*, Gojo Sensei! Satoru is like the new age Kakashi (just upside down lmao); he’s funny, charming, a great teacher and the strongest character among all in the series. On top of that, I couldn’t help but fall for his mesmerizingly beautiful eyes that open up a world of the “Limitless” (one of his really cool Cursed Techniques). Hakken is quite popular and has a huge fan following with 1.7million followers on Instagram alone. His cosplays are so exemplary it looks as if the character itself exists in real life and not just in the manga. He works hard to put together the hair, makeup, costume and the scene from which the cosplay is inspired, to bring out such awesome imitations of the chosen characters. No wonder people are in love with his work.

Yuji Itadori, the main protagonist of the series, is a First Year student at the Tokyo Prefectural Jujutsu High School. His altruistic and benevolent personality draws the viewers’/readers’ attention towards him as he gradually learns the various aspects of being a Jujutsu Sorcerer. He understands the value of life and triggered by his grandfather’s last words, he feels like everyone should receive a “fair death”. Despite of having met Megumi only a while ago, he impulsively swallowed Sukuna’s finger in order to help exorcise the curse that posed a threat to both their lives. A great character deserves a great cosplay, just like this one. The quality of the costume is admirable along with the spiky-haired wig. The contouring and the eye makeup make the facial features quite similar to the original character, which adds a good touch to the overall cosplay. Follow up their Instagram page for more amazing cosplays and superb makeup skills.

Mei-Mei is First Grade Sorcerer who appears in three different arcs of the plot. Not much is known about her personality but we do know that she wields a large axe as her weapon when fighting off Curses and has the ability to control crows. It’s a good thing that we can see at least one of the elements is present in the cosplay since there’s already not much to work with. Her braided hairdo and the choice of outfit are pretty accurate when compared to the character design. If only she hadn’t missed out on the axe, I would’ve given her a 9 or maybe 10 for accuracy. Though, the overall presentation, with the props, lighting and the photo editing is good.

Nobara, the short and sassy Sorcerer is a fellow classmate of Megumi and Yuji at the Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College. She’s a strong, confident girl with a chatty mouth, that doesn’t stop belittling the opponents even on the verge of death. The cosplay is pretty immaculate, the wig, the pose, the costume and props, everything about this picture is just perfect. She has also digitally altered the picture to make it look as if the nails are surrounded by Nobara’s Cursed Energy (Straw Doll Technique) which adds a pretty cool effect to the overall cosplay. With all the elements and her threatening glare makes it a complete and excellent cosplay.

Sukuna, the undisputed King of Curses, is an immensely powerful Cursed Spirit who serves as a primary antagonist in the series. His body was destroyed during the “prime era of Sorcery”, i.e., about a 1000 years ago, though not completely. What remained were his 20 fingers (since he is believed to have been a demon with four arms), which were then traversed through the centuries as Cursed Objects. It was his finger that Yuji later consumed in order to gain power and help Megumi exorcise a Curse. The cosplay is so up-to-mark that it looks like Sukuna has possessed Ivana. The marks she has drawn on her body are exactly how they appear on Yuji’s body when Sukuna gains control of his consciousness, along with the light colored kimono. I wonder if she can regenerate cells and grow back injured limbs like Sukuna can x)

Maki Zenin, the impatient yet determined Sorcerer with a spear, is a Second Year student at the Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College. As you may already know, Maki is Mai’s elder twin sister and a member of the Zenin family, which she later abandoned due to the ill treatment she had gone through for lacking Cursed Energy as well as for being a woman. The cosplay seems so real that I couldn’t tell her apart from the original Maki. The design of the weapon is exactly the same and the back drop chosen for the cosplay along w the pose was a great idea, all of it looks really cool and put together. The cosplayer really thought this one out.

A killer duo deserves a killer cosplay! Both the cosplayers look great in their costumes, the hair along with the weapons. We can feel their energy through our device screens as they strike a pose in action and make good use of the background and the props. It’s really cool to see what both the girls came up with as the pictures are so appealing to the eye I wish I had a partner to cosplay with me too lol. They also took care of minute details such as the expression and the character’s stance in combat for which I think they deserve a 10. The costume isn’t as impressive as the other Nobara and Maki cosplays that I mentioned before but I still love the end result.

Finally it’s time for the best Jujutsu Kaisen cosplay I’ve seen so far! Dark, malevolent and cute, Mahito is an unregistered Special Grade Cursed Spirit and one of the primary antagonists of Jujutsu Kaisen. His aura is quite spooky though he often acts immaturely and likes toying with humans, even in life or death situations. Unexpectedly much, he has strong philosophical beliefs about the soul and its existence, and it was this obsession with the soul and its very nature that gave rise to his extremely dangerous Cursed Technique. The cosplay looks pretty amazing, the same eerie vibe, that sadistic look in her eyes and the props, all add to the beauty of this cosplay. Even the photography skills have paid off; with the ambience and everything it looks like Netflix’s live action version of the series. If Mahito existed in real life this is exactly how I’d imagine him to be like. This just had to be the best one among all the others, though this picture is just a glimpse of the excellent work Aoi and her photographer (Instagram- @ne3mk2) has done, check out the whole thing w the link I’ve provided, I’m damn sure you’d love it as much as I do.
