Learn and understand Jujutsu Kaisen's Power System so you don't larp like others!
Cursed Energy (呪じゅ力りょ also known as Juryoku) is a form of spiritual energy that leaks from humans as a result of their negative emotions, makes up the bodies of cursed spirits, and is utilized by sorcerers and cursed spirits alike to fuel their jujutsu.
Cursed energy is the primary power source for any sorcerer or cursed spirit; sorcerers voluntarily produce said energy akin to the generation of electricity, and since negative emotions are the trigger, sorcerers train to create cursed energy from the slightest spark of emotion. Cursed tools, cursed objects, and cursed corpses all contain cursed energy as well. It is ordinarily used to fuel cursed techniques, reinforce the body, or activate talismans, but cursed energy has various uses. The properties of cursed energy vary from person to person and its connection to the human brain is shrouded in mystery. In the anime, most cursed energy is blue in color but there are several exceptions.
The aggregate amount of an individual's cursed energy isn't determined by how many negative emotions they possess but by their innate talent for jujutsu. For example, Yuta Okkotsu possesses an immense amount of cursed energy due to his genetic relation to Michizane Sugawara.
Cursed Techniques (術じゅつ式しき also known as Jutsushiki) are abilities fueled by cursed energy. Different types include innate techniques, barrier techniques, shikigami, new shadow style, and more.
A cursed technique is activated through the act of pouring cursed energy into it, utilizing one of two processes; Lapse or Reversal. If cursed energy is comparable to electricity, cursed techniques are the appliances that use that power to function. Cursed energy is processed through a procedure akin to a mathematic formula within the user to activate a cursed technique.
