Curses and cursed energy

Let’s start with the Curses. They exist in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen due to human emotions. The more negative emotions there are in the world, the more curses start to appear. For example, if the world is in a terrible state or a certain country is leading a war, there will be more curses.

The Cursed energy is something that all people have, but only sorcerers can control. Imagine a game character who is a magician. Such characters usually have mana, and their ability to cast spells depends on its level. So Cursed energy is just like that.

When it’s time to cast a spell, you use a certain amount of mana. And casting spells is called Cursed Techniques in Jujutsu Kaisen. Basically, you use Cursed energy to employ your technique.

On top of that, Cursed Techniques cannot be learned, they are given at birth. It’s like when a game character can only have one spell or special ability.

Curses and sorcerers have grades. If we go back to the gaming analogy, then it’s the level of your character. Imagine Genshin Impact, for example. You need to level up each character for them to become stronger and more effective in a battle.

JJK grades can also be leveled up, but you need practice for that instead of gaining material like you usually do in a game. Special grade is the strongest in Jujutsu Kaisen, then goes Grade 1, Grade 2, etc.

Domain Expansion and Black Flash

Domain Expansion is a type of technique that allows its user to get 100% hit. It puts its owner and its target inside a barrier, where every hit is meant to be successful. The only way to counter it is to create a more powerful Domain Expansion.

There’s also Black Flash that amplifies the user's physical strike when cursed energy is applied to it. When you’re playing a video game, it’s usually called a critical hit. While it’s strongly dependent on the crit rate in games, in Jujutsu Kaisen it’s based on your cursed energy and state.
