Mahito is one of the main villains of Jujutsu Kaisen, a relatively young curse of a special rank. He has the ability to transform souls. Compared to his fellows, he doesn't stand out for his deep motivation and goals. Mahito simply hates people and considers himself the creation of their hate for each other. Their lives are just toys or a means of manipulation to him. Fans admit that the fact that Mahito is a mirror of human vices attracts them and sets him apart from other villains, including Sukuna and Kenjaku.

​​Despite the fact that the character doesn't appear as a serious figure who wants to change the world, from his first appearance it is clear that Mahito has great power. Even his friends recognize that he is stronger than they are, and they, by the way, are not weaklings. In Episode 16 of Season 2, Jogo meets Dagon and Hanami after his death and the defeated spirits speak of Mahito's great potential, which distinguishes him from them.

What makes Mahito so powerful?

It's true: Mahito has great potential. We know that he has always been one of the fastest learning characters in the series. Among his other qualities that can be admired are a high level of adaptability, a willingness to constantly experiment and learn.

Since his creation, he has been learning about other cursed spirits and his potential enemies, as well as testing his ability on people to better understand his limits. We can even assume that because of his high potential, he can be compared to Gojo and Sukuna, the strongest characters in Jujutsu Kaisen.

There's also a striking similarity in Mahito and Sukuna's way of thinking. Of course, they are different characters and their stories are hardly similar, but their willingness to burn everything to the ground makes both characters walking disasters and certainly becomes the boost to Mahito's development.

Perhaps the fact that Mahito is one of the few characters who isn't scared of the King of Curses is a good argument in favor of his power. And even serves as proof that he's the second most powerful villain in the universe. In fact, the other cursed spirits are so scared of Sukuna that they kneel before him. Mahito was not afraid to challenge this powerful character because he sees him primarily as an enemy, not a master.
