Jujustu Kaisen is a world filled with curses that can kill humans. To combat these, special-educated individuals became Jujutsu sorcerers, tasked with protecting the common people. However, their efforts have been unsuccessful, leading to many deaths. Even sorcerers can be overwhelmed by the curses and end up dying.

Jujutsu Kaisen features numerous major characters who are killed or injured, leaving fans in shock. Despite some deaths, the sense of uncertainty and unpredictable plot makes JJK one of Shonen Jump's most thrilling series to follow.

Here are every death in the anime so far.

1. Wasuke Itadori

Wasuke, Itador's grandfather, was introduced at the beginning of the series and the first character to die in Jujutsu Kaisen. Yuji's parents were absent, so Wasuke raised him. Yuji described Wasuke as a father to him. He died in old age, requesting Yuji to help others to prevent loneliness.

2. Nagi Yoshino

Nagi, Junpei's mother, was a different kind of parent than conventional parents who forced their children to follow their will. Despite her son's skipping school, Nagi trusted him and encouraged him. A cursed spirit killed Nagi, but Mahito plotted to manipulate Junpei, causing the curse to enter Nagi's house.

After Mimiko dies, Nanako tries to attack Sukuna, but her head is cut in half. Sukuna is annoyed by the sisters who tried to gain leverage by knowing the last finger's location and asking for a favor.

17. Jogo

Jogo defeated Yuji by forcing him to consume fifteen fingers of Sukuna, who attacked the curse. The fight ended with Sukuna destroying a large part of Shibuya. After the fight, Sukuna acknowledged Jogo, calling him "strong." Jogo cried and took his last breath.

21. Mai Zenin

The Zenin Clan planned to kill Maki, Mai, and Megumi, but Mai was injured and thrown into a pit with Maki. Mai used her last energy to create a weapon for Maki, lifting restrictions on her body as they are twins. Mai’s death lifted the restrictions on Maki’s body, since they’re twins and one and the same. Hence, Maki destroyed her entire clan to avenge Mai

Tsumiki, Megumi's step-sister, was in a coma due to a nationwide curse. The curse was to revive ancient sorcerers. Tsumiki's body was used to revive Yorozu, but Sukuna took over Megumi's body and used her technique to kill Tsumiki, causing her despair.

29. Masamichi Yaga

Yaga’s death in Jujutsu Kaisen was shocking since he was one of the few characters introduced in the early chapters.
