Greetings. We’re not here to talk about the usual subjects; instead, we’re here to talk about the waifus of Jujutsu Kaisen, for sorcerers, curse users, curses, and mortal folks alike!

To achieve absolute happiness, one must find a waifu – even a mere glimpse or the sound of her name can bring joy to an otaku’s heart. And discussing waifus is a heavenly pastime for many. Don’t you agree, fellow waifu enthusiasts? If you’re feeling lost in a sea of confusion, fear not! We are here to help.
If you are unaware of what a waifu is, then you are still in the dark, you poor soul. But fear not, for we shall be your guiding light! A waifu is a fan-made term used for fictional female characters. It is generally used by fans to express their romantic affection towards that character, but it doesn’t necessarily mean they want to pursue a real romantic relationship with them (though we can dream, can’t we?). It’s just a fun way to express oneself.
Now that you are no longer in the dark about waifus, let’s embark on a journey that will be a feast for your eyes and soul! But before we begin, how about taking a peek at some of our blog posts about the best anime waifus of all time?
THE BEST WAIFUS IN JUJUTSU KAISEN
Who is the best Waifu in JJK?
11. Akari Nitta: The Dependable Assistant of Tokyo Jujutsu High
Meet Akari Nitta, the blonde bombshell and assistant manager at Tokyo Jujutsu High! Don’t let her looks deceive you, because this gal means business. She’s a key player in guiding our favorite trio, Itadori, Megumi, and Nobara, on their mission by giving them all the important deets. And can we just take a moment to appreciate those dark roots? Akari is proof that even jujutsu sorcerers need a touch-up every once in a while!
In the anime, she might make a brief appearance, but in the manga, she’s a pretty cool character. She’s the big sis of Arata Nita and is known for being kind and hardworking. You know what they say, a hardworking and kind lady with a sister-like attitude is waifu material, am I right? Looks like we’ve found another one to add to our growing list of anime waifus!
10. Nagi Yoshino: The Best Mom
Nagi is Junpei’s youthful-looking mother whom we first encounter when she sees Yuji with her son, and later invites him to dinner at their house. She’s pleased that her son has made a friend, which is rare for Junpei, and she actively encourages him to socialize more.
Nagi has a striking resemblance to her son, sporting short black hair and warm chocolate-brown eyes. She has a friendly and carefree demeanor, but one of her less desirable traits is her excessive smoking and drinking habits. She even permitted Junpei to skip school, but it was because she believed he could achieve success through means other than traditional education.
We all loved her as a kind-hearted person, but when she accidentally stumbled upon Sukuna’s fingers… Well, you know what happened next. It was a tragedy, but she remained a beautiful person and a devoted mother nonetheless.
9. Unconventional Witchcraft: The World of Momo Nishiyama
So, if you’re into short, blue-eyed blondes with pigtails that reach for the sky, you might want to check out this girl who rides a broomstick and levitates in the air. I mean, who needs a car when you have a flying broomstick, am I right?
But let’s not be distracted by her witchy cuteness because she’s a semi-grade sorcerer and a third-year student at Kyoto Jujutsu High. And guess what? She thinks women are unfairly treated in the Jujutsu world! (I mean, who doesn’t, right?) So, she’s out to prove that she’s just as badass as any guy sorcerer out there.
Despite her badass attitude, she’s also a team player who’s cooperative and supportive. Imagine having a cute lady who flies around on a broomstick AND has your back! She’s like the ultimate wingman!
So, if you’re looking for a powerful sorceress who’s also adorable and can take you on a wild ride, you know who to call. Just make sure you keep your grip on the broomstick tight!
8. Mai Zenin: A Crude and Unapologetic Attitude
Mai Zenin is the younger twin sister of Maki Zenin and is currently a second-year student at Kyoto Jujutsu High. She has dark brown eyes and, like her sister, has dark green hair, but her hair is shorter.
She’s attractive but tends to be crass and boastful. In addition, she possesses a sharp tongue and is quite sarcastic. But can you blame her? She was raised in the unforgiving world of the Zenin clan where weakness was not an option, particularly since girls were considered weak in their society!
Although Mai may seem difficult to befriend, she genuinely cares about her teammates at Jujutsu High. She has a close bond with Kasumi Miwa and Momo Nishimiya and is one of the few people who can tolerate Todo’s unconventional behavior. Mai was deeply disappointed when Mechamaru betrayed their group, demonstrating her strong belief in trust and teamwork.
The twin sisters had a tough childhood, but Maki rebelled and started studying Jujutsu. Mai didn’t like it, but had to do it too. Mai blames Maki for everything that went wrong and hates her for it. They promised to stick together, but Maki broke that promise and Mai called her a liar.
Despite her negative traits, when faced with a life-or-death situation, Mai was willing to sacrifice herself for Maki’s survival, demonstrating a selfless and brave side to her character.
Overall, while Mai may not fit the typical mold of a waifu, her strength, independence, and loyalty could make her an intriguing and unique choice for fans of Jujutsu Kaisen looking for a character to admire and connect with!
7. Mei Mei: Where Money Talks and Power Walks
Mei Mei was a senpai of Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto at Jujutsu High, and she’s the older sister of Ui Ui. As a grade one jujutsu sorcerer who works independently and only for money, Mei Mei is known for her impressive combat abilities, reserved personality, and unsound principles.
Mei Mei’s appearance is truly distinctive, thanks to her long, silvery-blue locks and piercing, dark brown eyes. Her unique hairstyle, often styled in braids, only adds to her appeal and makes her stand out even more.
Despite her love for money, Mei Mei is also highly skilled in combat and possesses a unique ability to manipulate her enemies’ cursed energy. Her calm and collected personality, combined with her strategic thinking, makes her a formidable opponent and a badass waifu as well.
She might have a bunch of questionable morals, but Mei Mei maintains a relaxed and friendly character at all times. This makes her approachable and enjoyable to be around, even if her priorities might not align with everyone else’s.
Mei Mei recognizes the abilities and potential of her allies and commends them for their growth and progress. This shows that she is not only focused on her success but also on the success of those around her.
Despite her challenging nature, particularly when it comes to money and principles, she still possesses the qualities of a great waifu. She acknowledges and appreciates the growth of others, which is a commendable trait.
6. Kasumi Miwa: The Best Swordswoman
Meet Kasumi Miwa, the waifu with a heart of gold and a sword that can take down curses in a single stroke (well, sometimes).
Let’s start with her appearance. Kasumi’s light blue hair might make you think she’s some sort of anime Elsa, but don’t be fooled, she’s not your average ice queen. Plus, have you seen her in her sorcerer uniform? That’s some serious waifu material right there.
But it’s not just about looks, folks. Kasumi is a hard worker who’s not afraid to put in the effort to achieve her goals. She might not have an innate cursed technique like some of her classmates, but she makes up for it with her dedication to her swordsmanship techniques. Plus, her motivation to become a sorcerer isn’t some noble cause or desire for power – she just wants to make some cash to support her younger brothers. That’s right, Kasumi is a responsible big sis who’s not afraid to get her hands dirty.
Speaking of getting her hands dirty, Kasumi’s not afraid to take on a curse or two (or a hundred) when the the situation calls for it. Sure, she might have been a bit hesitant about attacking Yuji Itadori like her class was ordered to, but she was quick to apologize later. And when it comes to her sword and New Shadow Style techniques, Kasumi can make quick work of even the toughest curses…unless she’s up against someone like Maki or Kenjaku. Hey, nobody’s perfect, right?
But what makes Kasumi the ultimate waifu material is her caring and compassionate nature. She’s not just in it for herself – she wants to protect those she cares about, even if it means putting her own life on the line. And sure, she might call herself useless and be afraid of dying, but who among us hasn’t had those moments of self-doubt? We can all relate to Kasumi in some way, and that’s what makes her such a lovable character.
So there you have it, folks. Kasumi Miwa might not be the flashiest or most powerful character in Jujutsu Kaisen, but she’s one of the most endearing. And let’s be real, who wouldn’t want a waifu who can take down curses with a single stroke of her sword?
5. Utahime Iori: a Badass and Tsundere Personality
Tsundere gives off a different vibe, doesn’t it? Fortunately, we have Utahime Iori on our list! She’s the perfect alternative for those seeking a more caring and powerful waifu. As a student supervisor at Tokyo Jujutsu High and a semi-grade one jujutsu sorcerer, she’s a waifu that you should admire, but one you don’t want to mess with!
Her outfit suits her well! She wears a traditional miko outfit, which adds to her classic and elegant appearance. Her long purplish-black hair complements her overall aesthetic, making her quite stunning. But what truly sets her apart is her battle scar. It adds a unique and cool feature to her appearance. We love it!
Beyond her physical appearance, Utahime’s nurturing and supportive nature makes her an attractive partner for anyone. Though she can be strict at times, her caring personality is focused on the growth and development of her students.
Lastly, any great Jujutsu sorcerer must have a strong sense of justice, and Utahime is no exception. She is fully committed to her duty of protecting people from curses. All in all, Utahime is a waifu worth considering for those seeking a nurturing, powerful, and just partner.
4. Maki Zenin: The Badass Lady with Glasses
Maki Zenin is the daughter of Ogi Zenin and the elder twin sister of Mai Zenin. She was born into one of the big three sorcerer families and is currently a second-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High. Despite being a non-sorcerer, she aims to become a great jujutsu sorcerer to prove her family wrong after being mistreated by her clan.
Physically, Maki is depicted as a young athletic woman with golden eyes and dark-green hair, similar to her sister Mai. However, Maki’s hair is longer and tied into a ponytail.
As non-sorcerers cannot see curses, Maki uses glasses to allow her to see them. Living without powers in a world of curses and sorcery is challenging, but Maki’s development and improvement are encouraging and inspiring.
During the Shibuya arc, Maki’s appearance changes after being burned by Jogo’s flames, leaving her body covered in scars. Some fans have speculated that her hair may have become shorter due to the incident, but it is not explicitly shown in the manga. Nonetheless, Maki undergoes rigorous training, which results in her body becoming more rigid and physically stronger.
Maki is a strong-willed, honest, and independent individual.. She possesses an unwavering determination to prove her worth as a jujutsu sorcerer. This determination has been shaped by her experiences and has made her a strong-willed individual. Although she may appear cold or distant at times, she is not a bad person, and her actions often reveal a caring and compassionate nature. In the Jujutsu Kaisen Zero movie, she became annoyed with Yuta Okkotsu’s shyness, but eventually encouraged him to use his curse to save people after they learned to understand each other.
Let’s be real, Maki Zenin is a total boss in the Jujutsu Kaisen world. She’s got it all: strength, resilience, independence, and a killer haircut to top it off. If we’re talking waifu material, Maki is definitely top-tier. I mean, who wouldn’t want a partner who’s committed to personal growth and always striving to be their best? Plus, she’s got those golden eyes that could probably melt your heart (or set you on fire, depending on the situation). All in all, Maki is a total catch and we can’t help but root for her.
3. Shoko Ieiri: A Doctor With A Sense of Humor
Shoko Ieiri is a tall, composed woman with long brown locks and a somewhat weary expression. But for those who know her, Shoko’s charm lies in her nonchalant, easy-going behavior and wry sense of humor.
Alumni of Tokyo Jujutsu High, Shoko was classmates with some of the most powerful sorcerers in the world, including Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto. She is a skilled jujutsu sorcerer (reverse curse technique) and serves as the school’s primary doctor. Despite her impressive abilities, Shoko prefers to avoid confrontations and enjoys teasing others from the sidelines.
One of Shoko’s most endearing traits is her ability to stay calm and collected in dangerous situations. Shoko has a good sense of humor and enjoys teasing her friends, one of the best pieces of evidence is when she referred to Gojo and Suguru as trash because they’re teasing Utahime. Yet even in somber moments, such as when discussing Yuji Itadori’s death, Shoko remains dry and unemotional.
In summary, Shoko Ieiri is a confident and independent woman with a great sense of humor. Who wouldn’t want to spend time with someone who always has a sarcastic quip or a well-timed cigarette break on hand?
2. Nobara Kugisaki: The Fearsome Waifu
Get ready to meet one of the best waifu in Jujutsu Kaisen– Nobara Kugisaki! This orange-haired first-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High is a bad-ass waifu character for so many reasons! She’s got the looks, the skills, and the attitude to match. With her slender build, mid-length hair, and striking orange eyes, Nobara is sure to grab your attention. She might be brash and too confident but beneath it all, she’s a caring and dutiful person.
Nobara has a fun-loving and humorous side that makes her even more appealing. She admires strength and looks up to Maki Zenin. As a jujutsu sorcerer, she takes her duty seriously, proving herself to Satoru Gojo because he thought that she won’t survive as a sorcerer. In battle, she’s willing to do whatever it takes to ensure victory, even if it means stabbing herself with nails, as she did during the fight against the Death Paintings. She dislikes Mai Zenin and believes that people shouldn’t be excused for their difficult backgrounds.
So, if you’re looking for a waifu who’s confident, caring, and hilarious, then Nobara is the girl for you. Her fighting spirit and pride as a jujutsu sorcerer make her one of the most appealing and interesting characters in Jujutsu Kaisen!
1. Yuki Tsukumo: Too Cool for School
Yuki is one special lady, and I’m not talking about the fact that she’s a special-grade jujutsu sorcerer. No, no, no. Yuki is special because she’s the only special-grade sorcerer who doesn’t take on missions. That’s right, folks, she’s too cool for school, or in this case, too cool for Jujutsu High.
With her long blonde hair and big brown eyes, Yuki is a real head-turner. Additionally, she gives off a relaxed, easygoing aura.
But don’t get too caught up in Yuki’s looks and attitude. She’s got a serious side too. Yuki disagrees with the higher-ups’ methods. She’s not afraid to intervene when necessary, like during the Shibuya Incident when she rescued Yuji Itadori and his allies from the man controlling Geto’s body. And she’s not afraid to stand up for what she believes in, even if it means going against powerful beings like Kenjaku. So if Yuki is your ideal waifu, look no further! Just don’t expect her to take on any missions anytime soon.
