Even dedicated fans of Jujutsu Kaisen are left frozen with fear by these violent and chilling moments when they emerge in the series.
Jujutsu Kaisen season 1 delivered numerous horrifying moments to the audience. The devoted fans of this popular shounen series have voted for the top 5 most impressive and darkest moments in the ranking below.
5. Audience's Fear Saying Early Goodbye to Nanami
When Mahito activates Domain Expansion, ensnaring the beloved Nanami, many fans find themselves in a state of extreme tension as their cherished character faces impending death. This anxiety arises from viewers being enlightened about the mechanics of Domain Expansion and the relentless pursuit of the ensnared target.
Fortunately, Nanami is rescued by Yuji and Sukuna, relieving the viewers of their burden. Although this is just one of many instances where beloved characters in the series confront death, it becomes immensely tense when Mahito's Domain Expansion proves to be exceedingly perilous.
Though it unfolded in just a few episodes, the budding friendship between Yuji and Junpei was a beautiful highlight, leaving a profound impression on the audience. However, it swiftly dissipates as Junpei becomes consumed by hatred, falling victim to a cursed spirit he once considered a friend.
Junpei falls prey to Mahito's manipulation and shortly thereafter, meets his end before Yuji's eyes. This fuels Yuji's rage and desperation to kill Mahito, while also evoking sadness and fear from the depths of the audience's hearts. Junpei's death underscores that characters in the show can depart at any moment, even those beloved by all.
3. Clash between Yuji and Cursed Womb Mustache
The battle against the cursed spirit heightens the series' tension. This spirit is entirely different from those encountered previously, possessing terrifying speed and delivering devastating blows that strike fear into both the main characters and viewers.
When Yuji is left alone with the spirit, it launches a vicious attack, severing his hand and tossing him into a labyrinth like a mere toy. Fortunately, Sukuna emerges as a savior. However, even Sukuna's appearance fails to assuage the audience's intense emotions as they witness this battle.
2. Mahito's Terrifying Power
Mahito's power to transform human souls and living creatures into truly horrifying entities is unmatched. Viewers have witnessed many of Mahito's victims throughout the anime, and the level of horror regarding the atrocities they endure is sometimes so appalling that many would opt to fast forward.
Every time Mahito appears on screen, he instills a sense of fear as everyone worries about the monstrous creatures he will create next and whose lives will be destroyed because of him. Mahito is indifferent and unconcerned about others, reveling in the chaos he creates, thus he instigates this in the innocent people he targets.
1. Restaurant Inferno Reveals the Extent of Monstrous Villains
An infamous scene for those who have followed the anime. It's when a group of cursed spirits manifests in the restaurant. What follows is extremely painful and haunting, as everyone present at the restaurant dies in the inferno, from burning to death to perishing in accidents amidst the chaos.
The scene combines melting flesh, blood-curdling screams, and death everywhere. The fire consumes the cursed souls entirely, along with their regrets for life. This is seen as a symbolic yet horrifyingly haunting scene for Jujutsu Kaisen fans.
